CHAPTER 1 HISTORY OF TACLOBAN CITY

Tacloban City was formerly known as Kankabatok, named after the prominent settler
Kabatok, who occupied the area around the present Sto. Niño Church. Kankabatok was then
under the political administration of Palo but under the parochial jurisdiction of Basey, Samar. In
1770, the Augustinian Missionaries discovered the place and in 1813 the Franciscans came. During
this period, Kankabatok was changed to Tarakluban which means the place where the inhabitants
used the “taklub”, a bamboo contraption, to catch crabs, shrimps and fish. Later, the name of the
place evolved from Tarakluban to its present name Tacloban.
Tacloban was officially proclaimed into a municipality in 1770. Since then, Tacloban became a
trading point between the provinces of Leyte and Samar. On February 26, 1830, Tacloban became the
capital of Leyte because of the ideal location of its port. The Tacloban Port is well sheltered and has
adequate facilities.
During the American Regime, the first American military governor of Leyte, Col. Murray,
assumed office In February 1901. He opened the Tacloban port to world commerce, especially for
copra and abaca, which were exported in large quantities. Before World War II, Tacloban was the
center of commerce, education, social and cultural activities in Leyte.
On May 25, 1942, Japanese Forces landed in Tacloban and started a three-year Japanese
occupation of Leyte. The Japanese forces fortified Tacloban, improved its airfield and established San
Pedro Bay as a port of call and entry for the Japanese Imperial Naval Forces. During the Japanese
occupation, many guerilla forces were organized and the most famous was the group of Colonel
Ruperto Kangleon.
On October 20, 1944, General Douglas MacArthur and his troops landed in Leyte. Also known
as Battle of Leyte Gulf, the largest naval war in the pacific during World War II.The Allied forces landed
in Tacloban (White Beach) -Palo (Red Beach) and Dulag (Blue Beach) and eventually liberated these
towns from the Japanese Forces after 3 days of heavy battle.
After the war, the municipality of Tacloban was now a booming locality as it became the center
of trade and industry owing to its strategic location. Traders and businessmen opened their respective
businesses in the municipality as Tacloban evolved to become an economic potential for commerce.
On June 20, 1952, Tacloban was created into a chartered city by virtue of Republic Act No. 760
signed by then President Elpidio Quirino. Its first City Mayor, Ildefonso Cinco, headed the city.
On December 18, 2008, Tacloban City was converted into a Highly Urbanized City (HUC)
by virtue of Presidential Proclamation No. 1637. Tacloban became the first HUC in Eastern Visayas
and 34th in the Philippines. Tacloban City has now emerged from its dependency from the Province of
Leyte. From its modest beginnings, Tacloban City has grown to be the premier city of Eastern Visayas,
gateway of the region and the center of commerce, trade and industry, education, and communication
and technology. Now, as a Highly Urbanized City, economic opportunities for its people and the
nearby municipalities eventually flowed unhampered.

CHAPTER 2 GEO-PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
2.10 GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION AND AREA
Tacloban City is located in the northeastern part of the Island of Leyte, one of the islands in
Eastern Visayas or Region 8. It lays 11 degrees 14’ 38.19” north latitude and 125 degrees 0’ 18.24”
East longitude and is situated about 580 kilometers southwest of Manila.
Tacloban's original land area was 10,297.29 hectares. A survey in 1977 by the Bureau of
Lands disclosed that a certain portion of the municipality of Babatngon was actually a part of Tacloban
City. Barangay Sta. Elena in the northern part of Tacloban City which is adjacent to the Municipality of
Babatngon increased the land area by 556 hectares. In 2004, the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (DENR-LMB) disclosed that the total larea of Tacloban, as submitted in Resolution
No. 99-001 and reiterated under Circular Letter No. 2001-21, is recorded at 20,172 hectares that
included the small islands, water bodies within the territorial bounds of the city.
2.20 LAND CLASSIFICATION

Tacloban City’s land classification starts from the ridge to reef passing through the different
micro-watersheds whose status is at risk considering the new climatic phenomena and urbanization.
The timberland areas claim 40.00% (4,204.18 hectares) while alienable and disposable (A&D) land
constitutes 60.00% (6,306.68 has.) of the total city inland jurisdiction
2.30 TOPOGRAPHY
Tacloban City’s mean elevation is 3.05
meters above sea level. In the western vicinity,
along Naga-naga mountain range has a steep
slope of 40% with a highest elevation of 305
meters. On the Northern part, the Sta. Elena
mountain range has a steeper slope of 60.5% with
the highest elevation of 575 meters.
These ranges serve as the boundary
between Tacloban and its adjacent municipalities
such as Palo, Sta. Fe, Alang-Alang, San Miguel
and Babatngon. While on the northeastern
portion of the city proper, Kanhuraw Hill, seat of
the Local Government of Tacloban, has an
elevation of 15.09 meters above mean sea level,
lies as a landmark overlooking Cancabato Bay.

2.40 SOILS
Tacloban City has 9 principal soil types namely: Tacloban Clay; Naga-Naga Clay; Caibaan
Clay; Pawing Silt; Caibaan Clay Loam; Pawing Silt Loam; Calanipawan Clay Loam; Nulatula Clay and
Sta.Elena Clay The following soil series are herein illustrated and defined as:
1. The Tacloban series are moderately deep, well drained, fine clayey soils found on the
mountainous areas of Tacloban City. The A Horizon is 5 to 15 cm thick is brown to yellowish-brown
granular clay loam or clay. The C Horizon below 90 cm. consist of brown to dark brown, dark yellowish
brown or yellowish brown clay loam or clay with few to common highly weathered shale.
2. The Naga-Naga series are poorly drained, fine clayey, recent alluvial soils found on the level
areas just above the swamp. The A Horizon 15 to 20 cm thick is light gray to dark gray clay. The B
horizon, 50 to 100 cm. deep, is light gray to gray clay with few CaCO3 nodules.
3. The Caibaan series are very deep, somewhat poorly drained fine clayey soils found on the
medium plain before the undulating and slightly higher piedmont landscapes. The A horizon 20 to 30
cm. thick is gray to very dark gray, reddish gray to dark reddish gray silty clay to light clay with
yellowish red mottles.
4. The A Horizon 10 to 20 cm. thick of the Pawing Clay is brown to dark brown very friable sandy
loam. The B Horizon 40 to 60 cm. deep, is strong brown to dark brown to dark brown sandy loam. The
substrata below 60 cm. consist of stratified layers of gray to grayish brown silt loam, sandy loam, loamy
sand and sand.
5. The Sta. Elena series are deep, somewhat poorly drained, very fine clayey soils found on the
slightly undulating piedmont landscape. The A Horizon, 15 to 25 cm. thick is grayish brown to dark gray
friable clay loam with strong brown mottles. The B Horizon, 120 to 150 cm. deep is very pale brown to
heavy yellow clay with yellowish red mottles. The C Horizon, 150 to 220 cm. deep is pale brown heavy
clay. Below the C Horizon buries A Horizon which is characteristically greenish gray to dark gray clay
loam, silty clay or clay with common to many highly decomposed organic matters.
2.50 GEOLOGY AND MINERAL DEPOSITS

The geologic data of Tacloban City is obtained from the Bureau of Mines and Geosciences
gathered by CPDO personnel. Northeastern Leyte is part of the Eastern Leyte Physiographic Province
with a topographic manifestation that is dominated by wide, almost flat lands near the coastline and
mountainous terrain to the west. Isolated mountains and hills are common south of Tacloban City.
Tacloban City is underlain by basement of an ophiolitic rocks forming an elongated body with
the long axis roughly oriented at NW-SE direction. The ophiolite suite consists of Tagawili Ultramafics,
Tigbao Gabbro, Paglaum Diabase Dike Complex and Caibaan Pillow Basalt. The Tacloban Ophiolite
are exposed along the mountainous areas west of the city proper specifically in Brgy Tigbao and Diit.
Chert, red mudstone, shale and sandstone of Palanog Pelagic Sediments conformably overlies
the Caibaan Pillow Basalt. Unconformably overlying the ophiolite suite are Neogene sediments of the
San Ricardo Formation and Bagahupi Formation. These Neogene sediments are well exposed near the
coastline especially in Brgys. Cablawan , Kawayan and Tagpuro. The northwestern trending narrow
ridge in Brgy Anibong is underlain by conglomerate, sandstone and marly tuffaceous shale of Bagahupi
Formation. Small outcrops of this formation are also exposed near the Tacloban City hall.
8
_________________________________________________________________________
The wide flat areas which is concentrated along the western portion of the coastline of
Tacloban City is underlain by Quaternary Alluvium. It consist mostly of unconsolidated sand, silt and
mud deposits. Topographic terrains such as swampy areas, wide floodplain, swales, ridges and ponds
are common features of this lithologic unit. The district of Sagkahan and San Jose are mostly underlain
by this rock unit.
Tacloban Ophiolite is being traversed and bounded by numerous faults that are generally
oriented parallel to the long axis the ophiolite body. Foremost of which are the NW trending faults that
defined the eastern and northwestern contact of the ophiolite body with the recent alluvium and tertiary
sedimentary rocks.
Tacloban City has deposits of metallic and non-metallic mineral resources. Metallic deposits
are mostly hosted by Tacloban Ophiolite and its related rocks. Foremost of them are copper, chromite
and iron deposits occurring in the ophiolite body. The mineralized areas fall within the jurisdiction of
Brgys. Suhi, Palanog, Salvacion , Bagacay and vicinities.
In Brgy Suhi, copper sulphide occurences has an estimation of 2,025 tons of milling grade
copper assaying 2% to 3% Cu and the presence of high grade copper assaying 8% to 11% Cu from the
vein system in the mineralized zone. Moderate- sized chromatic dunite deposit were also located at the
midstream of Guinbo-an River in the northeastern portion of the Ophiolite body. Non-metallic mineral
deposits consists of talc deposit, magnesite, red burning clay which is used for producing bricks and
pottery and dimension stone for use in the interior and exterior building design. Quarry resources such
as gravel, sand and filling materials are abundant in the areas of Brgys. Palanog, Salvacion and Diit.

2.60 NATURAL DRAINAGE SYSTEM

The urban area of Tacloban City has four major natural drainage ways namely; Abucay and
Mangonbangon rivers which empties to Anibong bay, while Tanghas-Lirang and Burayan rivers empties
to Cancabato Bay. Likewise, these urban natural drainage ways, Abucay, Mangonbangon and Burayan
Rivers serve as urban drainage channels
Likewise, the city has four bodies of water serving as drainage outlets of these rivers and
creeks. These bodies of water are Anibong and Panalaron Bays situated in the North, and Cancabato,
San Pedro and San Pablo Bays situated in the East. The other smaller natural drainage ways located
at the northwestern part of Tacloban, drain the watershed areas of the city such as those found in
Barangays Camansihay,Bagacay, Cabalawan, Sto. Niño, San Roque and Tigbao towards the San
Juanico Strait andAnibong Bay.
The Abucay river, located at the northwestern side of the city’s watershed area was previously
tapped for irrigation of the farm lands in barangays Abucay and Naga-Naga. It has a catchment area of
about 2.4 square kilometers and drains to the Anibong Bay. Mangonbangon River runs 5 kilometers
along the western side of the City proper and carries part of the City’s runoff, storm water and drains
towards Panalaron Bay. The upper stretch of the national highway is swampy. Its catchment area is
around 5 square kilometers. Burayan River with a total length of 4 kilometers, has a catchment area of
6.5 square kilometers, flowing from southwest to northeast on the southern part of Tacloban.
The mountainous area serving as the watershed is located west of the City. A small hilly area
partitions the Tacloban city’s central plain. The eastern plain occupies the Tacloban’s Central Business
District and the other half on the western side starts to be developed into a mixed residential and
commercial use.
2.70 WATER RESOURCES

Leyte Metropolitan Water District (LMWD) is the primary water provider of the city
delivering water in the areas of San Jose, Marasbaras, Caibaan, V & G Subdivision, Janssen Heights,
Calanipawan, Sagkahan, City Proper up to Barangay Diit along the National Highway. The water supply
source is from Binahaan river water located in Brgy Tingib, Pastrana. Moreover, Tacloban City, with
than 20,000 water connections accounts to 70.68% of the total water connections of LMWD in Leyte.
Another service provider is Mactan rock that supplies part of V&G and Tacloban North Subdivision
(GMA) situated in Brgy Sto. Nino Tacloban city. Its source is sub surface and further sanitized using
series of filtration system.
Hand pumps and wells were observed at barangays Tigbao, San Roque, Diit, Bagacay,
Camansihay, Tagpuro, New and Old Kawayan, and San Jose. Water discharged from these sources is
clean and is encouraging although no measurements have been done to quantitatively determine the
flow of water. The sub-surface water is being utilized as drinking water in certain places of the city
despite the absence of technical studies.
11
_________________________________________________________________________
There are 4 climate stimuli being considered in the Forest & Upland Ecosystem namely:
Increase in Temperature, Drought, Heavy Rainfall, and Typhoon. The direct impacts to the ecosystem
are Froest fire, decrease in water supply, habitat disturbance (flora & fauna), destruction of forest, and
soil erosion.

TEMPO OF URBANIZATION
In the PSA census of 2014, it reflected that the urban and rural population grew by an average
of 2.13 %. annually. It is postulated that constituents are looking towards the rural barangays for
residential purposes as the urban barangays gear for increased commercialization and industry as
Tacloban City is categorized as a highly urbanized city.
According to City Housing Office , when Super Typhoon Yolanda struck Tacloban City in
November 2013, many were left homeless. Based on the survey conducted about 59,610 families were
found out to have damaged houses. Totally damaged houses were about 28,351 while partially
damaged houses were about 31,224. However, there were about 36 Barangays identified to have
14,433 families living in danger zone and in fact, those families were the hardest hit by storm surge
during the onslaught of Super Typhoon Yolanda. The aforementioned 14,433 families were those that
need to be relocated to Northern part of Tacloban City.
With this problem faced by the city and its solution that the homeless will eventually be
relocated in the north, it is a reality that in the next few years the rural area in the north will be urban in
terms of classification as new socialized housing are being built for the said 14,443 families and other
residents from barangays living in danger zones.
3.40 POPULATION , DENSITY AND HOUSEHOLD DISTRIBUTION
Tacloban City has a total area of 20,172 hectares . It comprises 4,204.18 hectares of forest
and 6,306.68 ha. of Alienable and Disposable lands and 9,661.14 are water bodies. In 2014, the city
has a total population of 239,938 and a population density of 38.05 persons per hectare. Projecting for
the year 2018, the population would then count to 261,043 and the population density comes at 41.39
persons per hectare. In the 2014 census, household population is over 99 percent of the total
population because of the institutional population in the urban barangays. But most of the barangays,
particularly rural barangays, have the same household population and total population which mean all
their residents are members of the households.
20
_________________________________________________________________________
Accoring to the latest barangay population survey, Brgy 109A is the highest with 10,357
persons. , While Brgy 90 San Jose is the least at 61 persons only. The reason behind is that aside from
the damage of structures during the 2013 typhoon, there is also a “no build zone policy” within 40
meters from shoreline. Most of the residents in brgy 90 were relocated in the northern part of the city.
For the year 2018 the population density of Brgy. 36 in Anibong is the most densely populated
with 1,288.37 person per hectare while Brgy 90 in San Jose is the least densely populated with only
2.15 person per hectare.

HOUSEHOLD POPULATION BY AGE GROUP AND SEX

Based on the 2014 survey and an average growth rate of 2.13% Tacloban City’s total
household population in the 2017 was projected to be 255,599. The economically active or the
working age (15-59 years old) represent the largest share of population which is about 62.09% of the
total population. The next largest age group is the child and youth group in the age bracket 1 year to 14
years old representing 31.15% of the total population while the senior citizen those aged 60 and above
is represent 6.76%
Overall, there is male plurality in practically most of the age brackets especially for those age
20 - 49 where there are more males to females by about 4.88%. But in the age bracket 50 and above,
the female outnumber the male by 16.20%. In totality, there are more males to females age bracket 60
and above by 1.815% of the total 2017 household population but considering the minuscule gap, male
and female seems to be in an even keel in terms of populating the city of Tacloban.

SOCIAL PROFILE
One of the priorities of the City Government of Tacloban is the well-being of its constituents and
to bring this into motion, several activities related to the general health and welfare of the residents
were conceived in partnership with the private sector and other government agencies. This could be
quantified in the succeeding graphs and profile in the health, social services, peace matters, housing,
education and other sub-sectors contributing to the general well being and welfare of the Taclobanon’s.
Tacloban’s constituents enjoy a great deal of health package being delivered to them through the
regular conduct of Barangayan’s where most of the basic services are availed of for free such as
medical and dental consultations, medicines, child registration, personal hygiene demonstrations and
other such services which people usually get from the city government.
3.50 HEALTH
Tacloban City has sufficient health care facilities both private and public. In the government
sector, there is the Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center, a fully equipped hospital providing better
medical attention not only for the city but the whole region eight. Augmenting this is the Tacloban City
Hospital to cater to those residents who cannot afford to go to private hospitals. Four more private
hospitals are ready to fulfill the health and medical needs of the Taclobanons and these are the Divine
World Hospital; Remedios Trinidad Romualdez (RTR) Hospital ; Mother of Mercy Hospital and
Tacloban Doctors Medical Center. This will assure the people of Tacloban more health services and
medical care.

Above table shows that pool of health facilities and manpower resources is within the city. It
has 7 hospitals and 15 Barangay Health Station.There are three government owned hospitals namely:
Eastern Visayas Regional Medical Center (EVRMC) at Magsaysay Boulevard and at Barangay
Bagacay which is under the Department of Health RO8. Another is Tacloban City Hospital which is
under the City Government of Tacloban. Four other hospitals are privately owned namely St. Pauls
Hospital, Remedios Trinidad Romualdez (RTR) Hospital, Mother of Mercy Hospital and Tacloban
Doctors Medical Hospital. In line with the hospital capabilities, EVRMC and St. Paul’s Hospital are
providing the highest level curative care (Tertiary Care/Level III) while others provide secondary
level/Level II.
The city provides, with efficiency, all the priority government health services in its 7 District
Health Centers and 21 Barangay Health Station . These 7 District Health Centers are all PhilHealth
accredited with PCB, MCP and TB-DOTS and 1 special health unit (MASA) accredited with PCB.
Tacloban City Hospital is a 50-bed hospital providing general adult and pediatric medical, obstetric-
gynecology and surgical care.
As to the DOH-prescribed population to health personnel ratios, the city does not conform with
the standards. As shown in table above, the city really needs additional manpower resources. We are
in dire need of doctors, nurses, midwives, medical technologists and other allied health workers that will
cater to the primary health care needs of the constituents. However, with the support of the DOH by
27
_________________________________________________________________________
providing the City Government with additional manpower resources through their Deployment Program
(NDP’, RHMPP’s, PHA, DDP, MDP), we are able to deliver efficient heath services to the public.
The different barangay voluntary workers such as the Barangay Health Worker’s (BHW),
Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS) and Barangay Service Point Officers (BSPO’s) also provides health
support services to the health centers/stations at community level. These volunteer workers serve as
our active partners in the delivery of basic health care services to the communities. All health facilities
(hospitals, district health centers and barangay health stations) in Tacloban are vulnerable to typhoons
General Health Situation

The present administration envisioned to improve the delivery of basic health and sanitation
services, nutrition, other socio-economic and developmental services including infrastructures
responsive to the needs of the population especially to the poor and the underserved with the ultimate
goal of attaining quality of life for all Taclobanons complimenting with the National Objectives for Health
and the Millennium Development Goals (MDG’s) in implementing framework for health reforms.
These plans are programmed through the path of socio-economic transformation through
urbanization. The City Government is equipped to meet the health demands for this general revolution
towards progress that will give back every edge of benefit to its people. With the grace of the Lord
Almighty and the help and cooperation of its citizens, Tacloban will be one of the healthiest and the
safest place to live in the Region and the Philippines as well.
Urbanization is a major challenge in the health sector. Implementing health interventions has
been designed as a single package, backed by effective management, infrastructures and financing
arrangement. This plan is directed towards achieving the following end-goals: a) Improve health
system performance; b) Compliance to Health Regulation; c) Expansion of equitable health care
financing; and d) More responsive health system in collaboration with the different government
organizations, non – government organizations, development partners and donor agencies.
The table below shows comparative description of the health condition of the city for the past
three years (2016 – 2018).These figures are not exclusive for the residents of the city because a
modest number of residents from other municipalities or provinces who accessed the different health
care facilities in the city, given medical attention in Tacloban City were included in the statistics.

Infant mortality is 14 or 14/1000 live births (IMR). Infant Mortality Rate (IMR), Neonatal Mortality
Rate (NMR) and Under Five Mortality Rate (U5MR) is consistently way below the MDG target for the
28
_________________________________________________________________________
past 3 years.. These deaths can be attributed to non immunization, poor management of common
childhood illnesses, poor health practice of some parents especially at the rural and informal
settlements, poor environmental sanitation, congestion or poor health seeking behavior of the family.
Factors associated with IMR-NMR-U5MR warrant not just improving maternal and child health care
programs but uplifting the socioeconomic conditions as well.
Prematurity among newborns can be attributed to gaps in care for pregnant women before,
during, and the immediate period after childbirth. – services under the domain of the City Health Office
and hospitals (private/public). Special emphasis has to be made on access to prenatal care services,
during which infections that are known to cause prematurity are detected and addressed appropriately.
The maternal mortality in 2018 remains of vital health implication. Maternal death of 14 live
births (MMR) within a year is still of great impact to our MNCHN Program. Maternal Death Review
needs to be strengthened especially deaths are all hospital based. Although there was no data
gathered for 2018. the gaps still needs to be addressed and given more emphasis especially that all
deaths are hospital based. Maternal, Neonatal, Child Health and Nutrition (MNCH) interventions and
advocacy campaigns needs to be strengthened. The most common maternal death causes are
pregnancy induced hypertension, bleeding/shock, obstetric complications and pregnancy related
infections. These can be attributed on the three delays: delay in deciding to seek medical care, delay in
reaching appropriate facility and delay in receiving appropriate and adequate care at the facility.

Table above shows that diseases of the lungs such as URTI, SVI, ARI, Pnuemonia,
consistently on top 5 as the most common leading causes of morbidity among all ages for the past 3
years.
Between year 2016-2018, URTI, SVI, ARI, HPN, and Pneumonia consistently ranked 1st, 2nd
3rd 4th 5th
respectively. Pulmonary TB ranked 6th and Bronchitis 7th. It is notable that of the top 7 causes
of morbidity, 5 are respiratory diseases.
The consistency of these diseases as leading causes of morbidity may be attributed in poor
environmental condition, sudden change of climate, poor health and hygiene practices especially in
rural and resettlement areas, congestion, poor health seeking behaviour and lack to financial access for
medical consultation.
29
_________________________________________________________________________
These remains to be a major problem in the city. Environment - Friendly Ordinances like anti-
spitting Ordinance, solid waste management and other related laws and regulations has to be revisited
and strictly implemented to somehow contain disease transmission. Factors such as congestion, living
in one quarter due to limited space, climatic condition, patient treatment compliance and financial
capacity is also to be considered.
The lack of permanent NTP nurse significantly impacts the implementation of the program.
Continuity of care is disrupted, gathering of data, recording/monitoring and reporting is delayed and
compromised specially in advising/scheduling patients for sputum exam, follow up examinations and
tracking lost to follow up patients (TALF) which resulted to lowering of the Cure Rate. Advocacy,
communication and social mobilization remains to be strengthened, presently there is no community
based organization established to help disseminate information and improve awareness/education in
the fight against TB.

The table above shows that in year 2018, diseases such as Pneumonia, Myocardial Infarction,
Hypertensive Cardio Vascular Disease, Septecemia, Chronic Kidney Disease are the top 5 leading
causes of mortality in the city.
Pneumonia, Myocardial Infarction (MI) consistently ranked 1st, 2nd respectively for two
consecutive years. Hypertensive Cardio Vascular Disease is at 3rd; Septicemia is at 4th; and Chronic
Kidney Disease is at 5th place. Sudden cardiac death; Congestive heart failure; COPD; and Uremia
are the new leading causes of mortality ranked from 6th to 10th place respectively..
Healthy Lifestyle, Health Risk Management Initiatives in the aim of removing the common
cause of mortality and morbidity from the top 10 line list has started. It is evident enough in the sudden
drop of lifestyle diseases in the line list as shown in this table. Health consciousness and adaptation to
30
_________________________________________________________________________
healthy lifestyle activities and exercises has contributed much. Access to regular provision of
maintenance medications for hypertensive and diabetic is also considered.
Emphasis on health service delivery must be taken into account in the prevention of onset of
lifestyle diseases through promotion of healthy lifestyle advocacies and activities.
Limitations in the provision of diagnostic and therapeutic support to these patients at the
primary health care facilities has to be considered such as lack of Medical Technologists and laboratory
equipments in providing blood chem. analysis and ECG. Provision of medications is also limited.
Nutritional Status
The City Nutrition Office is in charge in monitoring the nutritional status of preschool children in
Tacloban City .The office also provide programs and services related to nutrition with the assistance of
the trained Barangay Nutrition Scholars (BNS).
Table below shows the nutritional status of preschool children for the last three years. For the
year 2017, of the 19,370 preschool children weighed 84 (0.43%) were severely underweight. 626
children (3.23%) were underweight. 299 children (1.54%) were overweight. Majority of the pre school

Lack of nutritious food, lack of information, potable water, were among the contributory factors
to the increase of underweight and severely underweight children. With the efforts of the city
government and assistance from NGOs ,INGOs& other agencies supplemental feeding, nutrition
education, and trainings on Nutrition in Emergencies (NIE) were provided both to the child and mothers.
This resulted to the decrease of underweight children from 4.78% in 2017 to 3.23% in 2018.
The number of severely underweight children and prevalence of underweight children is one of the
indicators for the Millennium Development Goals under the number one goal which is eradication of
extreme poverty and hunger.
Sanitation
Based on the survey on the type of toilet used by the household conducted by City RAPID
Project in 2018, 96.40% of Taclobanon’s have access to safe disposal of human waste (sealed sewer
septic tank, pail system) while 3.60% resort to unsafe disposal of human waste ( open pit, closed pit, or
do not have toilet at all). See table below.

Households with unsanitary or without toilet facilities can be attributed with poor knowledge on
the importance of toilet facility and it’s health effects, financial capability, geographical location of the
household and the type of land ownership. The indiscriminate disposal of human waste can resort to
cholera and other water born diseases. Human waste exposed to flies and other insects also brings
diseases to humans. However, the city have initiated interventions in addressing these issue.
Strengthened advocacy campaigns on Phil. Approach to Total Sanitation (PhATS), Water Sanitation
and Hygiene Promotion (WASH) activities has been conducted and enhanced.
Sold Waste Management:
At present the barangay Brgy. 106, Sto Niño garbage facility is still being used for final disposal
of the city’s garbage. The issue of garbage is serious in the sense that it causes health hazard and the
problem as to where to dispose the large volume of garbage . The city generates on the average
114.92 tons of domestic waste; 71.78 tons of Commercial Waste; 11.75 tons from street sweeping and
7.34 tons from other sources with a grand total of 225.79 tons per day.There are trucks specially
assigned to collect hospital waste that are to be treated delicately considering that they are toxic. See
table below.

The problem of waste reduction can only be solved thru waste segregation at source and
applying the 3R’s scheme (reduce, reuse, recycle). There are proposal of penalizing household that do

not practise segregation a way of enforcing RA 9002 (Solid Waste Management) and rewarding clean
barangays as an incentive.
According to the survey in 2018 of the city thru RAPID Program , majority of the domestic and
commercial garbage in the city (61.34%) is being picked up by truck. Some of the waste are being
burned (5.99%); Waste segregation (17.00%) and Recycling (9.64%) while other biodegradable
garbage are being buried within their territories intended for composting (3.54%) and some are buried
in pits (1.07%) are solutions to reduce the volume of garbage being brought to the dumpsite. See table

There are two public cemeteries in the city. The old cemetery located at Brgy. 55 El Reposo is
already full. The North Tacloban Cemetery at Basper is almost full and the city is in need of additional
cemetery. The problem of overcrowded cemeteries was partly solved by the availability of 4 private
cemeteries namely: Holy Cross located at Brgy. 94-A ; Leyte Memorial at Brgy, 99 and Chinese
Cemetery. at Brgy. 96; and Superior Cemetery at Brgy 99.

In response to the call for a quality and lifelong learning programs and projects the different
sectors and institutions for education both public and private are united in achieving quality education
for all. Tacloban City is faced with the challenge to sustain and maintain the city’s being the center for
excellence in education. The city government has to envision the increasing population of students from
pre-elementary up to the tertiary level. There is a need for more modern educational equipment and
facilities particularly in public schools. Trainings and capability building for teachers and other school
personnel are to be improved.
After the typhoon disaster in 2013, the education sector has fast recovered with the help of the
different NGOs, INGOs, private and government sectors. More resilient school buildings are being built.
35
_________________________________________________________________________
Trainings on disaster preparedness and mitigation is on going in the education sector. Along with this
development, there is still a need for the construction of more school buildings particularly at the
Tacloban North where the homeless victims of the disaster is being relocated. For the Tacloban North
there is a need for an estimated number of additional 384 elementary school classrooms and 255 high
school class rooms.
The Schools Division of Tacloban City has 3 levels of education the Kindergarten, Elementary
and the Secondary. Among the 3 levels of education, elementary has the highest enrolment both in
public and private schools. See table below.

Existing Schools, Location, Facilities & Conditions
It would be noted that all public schools particularly those located at the downtown area and
San Jose are susceptible to storm surge. This was experienced during the onslaught of Typhoon
Yolanda. These public schools were also used as evacuation centers. However for the private schools
only few were used as evacuation center. After two years these schools were repaired reconstructed
making it more resilient. The schools that are high in hazard susceptibility should either be retrofitted,
rebuilt or transferred to a higher or safe area.
Some of the schools which were provided assistance from the different INGOs were able to
build a resilient school classroom or school buildings. Some of these schools are the Marasbaras
Elementary School, San Fernando Elementary School, San Jose Elementary etc. These schools are
much better than their previous old buildings.
3.70 HOUSING
Tacloban Development Group (TACDEV) was created to come up with a plan to solve the
increasing housing backlog of the city. A Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA) was
conducted with different stakeholders of the city CCVA analysed the city’s exposure, sensitivity,
adaptive capacity and relative vulnerability to climate change. In Tacloban City out of the 138
barangays there are 102 barangay identified as coastal barangays (RA 8550 known as the Phil.
Fisheries Code of 1998 defining coastal barangays within 1km from the shoreline)from this total HH
there are 12,012 Informal Settler Families.
Based on the Tenure Status of Housing Survey conducted by Philippine Statistic Authority in
2014, 89.29% of Taclobanon’s own house (some own the lot, others rent the lot). The remaining
12.71% of the population are renting from other house owners.

needs
According to City housing, in 2017, there are 7227 housing units occupied and based on the
latest barangay survey in 2018, about 25,000 persons (10% of the population) are already residing in
the three northern barangays.
Tacloban City being a highly urbanized city where economic activity is at its highest, the influx
of people also increases. There is a rapid increase of informal settlers. They have proliferated in
vacant and government lots along coast, riverbanks and creeks. With this condition aggravated by the
fast increase in population, consequentially, the problem of growing housing needs. Informal settlers
are those living in danger areas like along the shoreline, on lands earmarked for government
infrastructure, areas where there is a court order for eviction and demolition. It would be noted that
these informal settlers are mostly families who earn income in a daily basis like vendors, drivers,
farmers, fisherfolks and migrants who flock into the city to earn a living.
Different informal settlers in the city occupying an area of 37.60 hectares with a minimum of 15
sqm per household. Most of these settlers are found in the urban area especially where economic
activities are conducted. Since they are situated in urban barangays they also have access to the
different facilities, utilities and amenities afforded to the people like electricity, water, roads,
transportation
Tacloban City has more or less 15,000 illegal settlers whom the city government likewise plans
to provide housing facilities for or resettlement lots to build their own homes and live decent lives. The
city government eased the applications for low cost and socialized housing so that people can have the
opportunity to have their own houses at affordable costs. In 2018, the target number of socialized
housing units both NJA & INGO is 16,723 and a total of 6,358 were occupied. See table below.

Table 34 presents the different social welfare facilities in the city both government &private.
The clientele served are the disadvantage persons/families, and the vulnerable sector which needs
protection.(PWD,Senior Citizen, children & women. These facilities provide different services from
financial assistance, referrals, shelter assistance, counselling, trainings, livelihood opportunities among
others.
The Women Center and Day Center for Street Children provides temporary residential care
and protection to the abandoned, orphaned, abused, exploited and neglected children, youth and
women. With the present social welfare facilities the city still lacks other facilities such as the following:
- Holding Center for CICL –this center is for the pre delinquent children and youths and children
in conflict with Law. The children in conflict with law are those children whose cases filed in
court or adjudged, and delinquent youths/ children are those that have committed crimes, but
are not filed in court but rather they are given diversion programs in the community by a social
worker, barangay council, and parents/ guardians. In most cases they are repeaters of crimes,
meaning that diversion program is not so effective in the community but is appropriate on a
center based setting.
- A hospital or center for mentally challenged persons but this is a Regional concern. The City
Government of Tacloban thru the City Social Welfare and Development Office has a budget for
the medical needs of the mentally challenged persons to residents in Tacloban City. But those
proliferating around the city about 90% comes from other municipalities and they are left
roaming around the city due to absence of mental care hospital for their confinement.

The projected number of social welfare clientele in 2017 is 51,120 and 60,508 in 2025 or an
increase of 18.36%. This increase is minimal on the assumption that the social welfare clientele
53
_________________________________________________________________________
decreased because the individual clientele provided by the social services had improved his way of
living and is now self reliant. It is also assumed that the social welfare facilities had been improved and
are more resilient where the needed services were provided. Computation was based on the
assumption that 20% of the population belong to the bottom poor. The Poverty incidence in Tacloban
City is 20% based on the 2010 PSA Survey. See table below

3.90 PROTECTIVE SERVICES
3.91 Tacloban City Police

The major concern of the Tacloban Police is to provide general safety and security to the
constituents of Tacloban City. Their main focus is a widespread campaign on crime prevention and
control. They also introduced new strategies and devices to combat criminality which brought about
reduction in crime incidents.
However with the rapid increase in population where in the city being highly urbanized is not
only populated by its residents. The influx of people coming from other municipalities and cities, for
various purposes is inevitable. The recent augmentation of police personnel and police volunteers is
still not enough to provide for the general safety and security not only of the Taclobanons but also the
other people that comes to the city. There is also a need to provide modern equipment and weapons in
the different substations. There is also a need to strengthen and expand the campaign of all forms of
crime and illegal activities.
The increase of Crime Solution Efficiency can be attributed to the widespread campaign of the
police against all forms of criminal acts. The involvement of Barangay Officials and the people can also
be contributory to minimize crimes in the city. Police visibility is also effective in crime control and
prevention. The current establishment of more Police Sub Stations in strategic areas is also a way of
preventing crime and illegal activities.

eventual reintegration into mainstream society.
The BJMP has four (4) major thrusts in its Welfare and Development (WD) Programs, namely;
Livelihood Trainings and Projects; Educational and Vocational trainings; Recreation and Sports; and
Religious/Spiritual Activities. These are continuously implemented in all of its jails to eliminate the
offenders’ pattern of criminal behavior and to develop them into law-abiding and productive citizens.

4.12 Fisheries
Unless threats such as overpopulation of coastal communities, pollution, siltation, resources

use conflicts, climate change and calamities such as typhoon which disturbs its natural habitat will be
dealt with of managed properly, the food supply of our general population is in peril. It must be noted
that it takes years for our corals, mangrove, seagrass and other natural habitat of aquatic resources to
recover. Taking care of our natural environment is the key to sustainability and for our food security.
Facilitating the rehabilitation and recovery of the city’s coastal and marine ecosystems
continues to be a challenge for the LGU and the locals. Considerable efforts have been exerted by the
LGU, some National Government Agencies, Local and International NGOs as well as locals in trying to
at bring back or at least bring growth to the remaining resources left of the 2013 typhoon.
For the year 2018, in terms of production by Value (Million Pesos), Captured Fishes
(Lapulapu, sagision,etc) produced P137.26 million (1,143.84 tons) an increase of 9.20% ; Aquaculture
Fish Cage (bangus) produced P44.28 million (369.05 tons) and an increase of 231.99% ; These
products consequently yielded a total of P181.54 million 1,512.89 metric tons of produce and an overall
increase of 30.58%. See table below.

4.13 Livestock & Poultry

As the city gears for self-sufficiency, livestock and poultry production is promoted and
encouraged. This in turn makes for a positive economic posture of the city as it provides local
employment and income to the city government by way of revenues. Below is the Comparative Data
year 2016-1018 based on Tacloban City Slaughter house Data.
Between the year 2017-2018 Carabao heads increased 3.63% (80 heads); Cattle meat
increase by .09% (1 head); while hog meat increased by 1.25% (376 heads). The overall increase in
terms of slaughtered animal is 1.36% (from 33,558 heads in 2017 to 34,013 heads in 2018). See table

4.60 Food Self-Sufficiency Assessment

Although the vegetable production in the city is economically flourishing because of the support
extended by the City Agriculturist’s Office and the Department of Agriculture, their produce are often
than not sufficient to supply the demand of vegetable in the city. To remedy the situation, the city is
importing vegetable product from nearby towns, and cities as far as Davao City which is abundant in
vegetable products.
63
_________________________________________________________________________
Tacloban City is not self-sufficient in fish products and other marine products because of the
damage to the natural habitat in the waters along the San Pedro, Cancabato, Panalaron and Anibong
Bays in 2013 Typhoon. To remedy the situation, the city is importing fishery product from nearby towns
provinces and as far as General Santos which is abundant in tuna products.
In the animal commodity and meat sector, the local supply is inadequate and to remedy the
situation, livestock and poultry products are brought in from other provinces and regions. Also, the local
supply of rice is considered very insufficient and the city gets it’s rice allocation from the nearby rice-
growing municipalities, provinces and the regions in Luzon.
4.14 Forestry
Tacloban City has a total forest area of 3,985.53 hectares and is categorized as production forest and
protection forest. Production Forest is 1910.11 ha.; Industrial Forest is 81.99 ha.; and 1,993.43 ha.
categorized as protected area consisting of mangroves and forest areas. The table below shows the
forest areas as categorized in their specific locations.
To ensure that the city will protect our upland forest, significant reforestation projects were
adopted in 2014. Among those projects were 1. (Community Based Forest Management Areas
(CBFMA); and 2. Integrated Forest Mgt. Areas (IFMA)
In order that our shoreline will also be protected and have ecological balance, the city
encourages the local communities to support various programs, projects, and activities on mangrove
and beach forest rehabilitation and protection implemented by the city government of tacloban , DENR-
8 on its national greening program and other concerened agencies from local , national, and
international organizations.
For the year 2018, In terms Economic Activities in Production Forest by Sub-Category and

4.22 Electricity
Leyte Electric Cooperative II or LEYECO II is the primary power distribution service in the city
and the neighboring towns. It has its main office at Real Street with 2 of its 4 substations also in the
city, the Sagkahan and Abucay Sub-Stations. LEYECO II has the capacity to illuminate and provide
power needs of large companies and institutions in the city and other nearby municipalities because
LEYECO II is categorized as an A+ Extra Large Electric Cooperative. Gearing towards
industrialization, investors can be assured of sufficient power supply for their respective ventures.

total 100.00
Based on the 2018 household survey on Source of Power for Lighting conducted by the City
RAPID Program , LEYECO is the number one source of power at 97.90%; followed by generator at
0.90%; Solar Panel at 0.50%; Other sources at 0.20% and some household have no source of power
with 0.20%.
The Sagkahan Substation houses two power transformers, Sagkahan I and Sagkahan II, with a
capacity rating of 10 MVA and 5 MVA respectively. Their combined peak demand reached an average
of 11,406 KW. This substation is operational giving out power to 3 feeders.
While the Abucay Substation has a capacity rating of 20 MVA serving part of Tacloban City and
the entire municipality of Babatngon. As expected, Tacloban City will definitely attract more big
companies to follow Robinson’s such as the Ayala and SM Group of Companies because of a reliable
power supply in the city which will in turn generate more employment even with other small and
medium business ventures as well as other economic opportunities.

4.23 Gas
Three of the large oil companies in the Philippines such as Shell, Petron have depots in
Tacloban City. Relatively, Tacloban City’s economic growth is continuously directing an upward trend
and fuel is an important factor that will propel economic activities as we are in an era where
development is supported by power and fuel. These depots could easily supply Tacloban City and
practically the whole region for its fuel needs. The city on the other hand has 50 gasoline refueling
stations and 33 LPG and petroleum products distributors.

Based on the data gathered from LMWD, the total water consumption in 2018 was: Residential
Sector consumption 8,458,854 cu.m (2.62% increase); Commercial consumption 2,492,061 cu.m
(10.79% increase); Government consumption 1,075,591 cu.m (4.03% increase); and lastly Industrial
consumption 526,930 cu.m( 2.58% increase) as compared to the water consumption in 2017 .
Water supply in the city is a little less sufficient. According to the Leyte Metropolitan Water
District, almost all areas in the city, have insufficient water supply because of low pressure. There are
barangays in the northern part of the city that are not serviced by LMWD. Some of the concessionaires
use electric pumps to get maximum supply of water while others use deep well water pumps and/or dug
wells particularly in the northern part of the city.
Nevertheless, the city government is looking into some possibilities and ways to remedy or
improve this basic utility problem. Construction of a parallel supply from the main source is being
considered. To augment the shortage of water supply in the city, Mactan Rock which derived its source
from sub-surface and with series of filters supplies part of V&G and Tacloban North subdivision (GMA)
in barangay New Kawayan in the north. Another water service provider is San Juanico Spring located
in Cabalawan which delivers water in some parts of the northern barangays especially subdivisions.
4.25 Construction
Tacloban City is booming and the construction industry is at the core of this development
especially after 2013 rebuilding of damaged structures. The city also needs to cope up with the
demand of the increasing population both in public and private infrastructure projects. Horizontal and
vertical projects are being undertaken especially the road widening in almost all national highways and
70

bridges within the city and employment generation is in the positive note as the city readies itself for this
economic transformation.
In 2018, there are 147 registered building contractors in the city aside from non-registered sub-
contractors who make their legitimate living through the registered builders. New buildings stand one
after another and new businesses open as a new face of Tacloban emerges. The construction boom is
expeditious and the physical change of the city is matched by the economic layout of a healthy
economic stature. The presence of large and medium hardware and construction material
establishments substantiate the present setting in the construction and infrastructure scene.

5.20 FLOOD CONTROL & DRAINAGE
Barangays of Tacloban City situated in the low-lying area and along the coastline experiences
frequent flooding. The city’s drainage and sewerage system is to be upgraded to conform with the
Master Drainage Plan of the city. The present sewerage drains to the 4 catchment basins in the city
namely the Tanghas-Lirang Creek, Mangonbangon River, Abucay and Burayan Rivers.
Except for the Central City Proper which is provided with a system of drainage pipes, some
built-up portions along Real Street which are drained by pipes, open canals and culverts and bigger
housing areas like V&G and Imelda Village subdivisions where networks of drainage pipes exist, the
core area is practically unsewered. In some congested and blighted residential areas and in some
subdivision, there are shallow earth ditches that are virtually filled-up and often times do not lead to any
particular discharge point.
There is a particular concern that developers of new subdivisions do not conform with the
Master Drainage Plan of the city as the subdivision residents are the most affected during heavy
downpours. Although there are designated catch basins in strategic places, the proliferation of
informal settlers along riverbanks and the clogging of waterways aggravate the situation. The existing
drainage system constructed way back in 1975 is the only structure serving the dense commercial and
residential areas in the city proper.
77
_________________________________________________________________________
Tacloban City’s Master Drainage Plan has yet to be fully implemented into the present drainage
system but in the meantime, the canals and rivers are regularly declogged and worn out drainage
pipes are likewise repaired. The increase in population parallels to the increase in garbage that clogs
the waterways and catch basins causing these habitual inundations.
5.30 WATER SUPPLY

The water supply condition in the city is not sufficient compared to other municipalities being
serviced by LMWD but the City Government of Tacloban is trying to look for ways to improve the
situation and the possibility of having its own water system.
Tacloban City’s main water supply is from the Leyte Metropolitan Water District or LMWD. The
water source is from Tingib River of Pastrana and Dagami, Leyte and it is inadequate. In the northern
barangays where there is no piped water service, people use deep wells or shallow wells for their water
needs. Others have their water supply delivered in tanks by LMWD while some residents resort to the
use of electric motor driven deep wells.
Mactan Rock which derived its source from sub-surface and with series of filters. It supplies
part of V&G and Tacloban North subdivision (GMA) in barangay New Kawayan in the north. Another
water service provider is San Juanico Spring located in Cabalawan which delivers water in some parts
of the northern barangays especially subdivisions.
5.40 ELECTRIC POWER SUPPLY

Tacloban City have more than sufficient power supply provided by the Leyte II Electric
Cooperative or LEYECO II. It has its main office in Real Street, Tacloban City and has three
substations, two of which are located in Tacloban City. Its’ total capacity of power generation is 45
mega watts, enough to supply any projected increase of power needs for the next five years. Tacloban
City is 100 percent energized and although there are power outages, they are immediately addressed.
5.50 TRANSPORT FACILITIES

Tacloban City is accessible by land, sea and air travel. It is the gateway to the south and north
by land travel through the San Juanico Bridge. The city has a North Bus Terminal in Abucay and a new
Bus terminal in the south beside Robinsons Mall to accommodate vehicles going in and out Tacloban.
DZR Airport is the center of aviation in Eastern Visayas and is the eight busiest airport in the
Philippines. Tacloban City has one operational port under the direct operation and supervision of the
Philippine Ports Authority (PPA). This port caters to local and foreign vessels, fishing boats and other
smaller motorboats.

5.70 SOLID WASTE AND SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Considering that the dumpsite area is small, the city is serious with its segregation scheme and
the full implementation of SWM Act 9003 up to the barangay level. The city needs to implement the
waste segregation policy to make sure that only the residuals will be transported to the dumpsite. All the
recyclables and the biodegradable will not be collected by the service provider. The city also employed
night sweepers to ensure that garbage is well kept in the city proper particularly in the city streets.
Penalties will be imposed to the law breakers.
Tacloban City’s solid waste disposal system is privatized by the City Government to two service
provider namely ECI and Victoria. The City Government still uses controlled dumpsite disposal system
where the process uses soil as cover in Brgy Sto Nino.
A new dumpsite is being built at brgy San Roque. The new dumpsite hopefully will operate
within the year. Issues of right of way and road widening are the reasons why the facility is nt yet
operational.
5.80 SLAUGHTERHOUSE
The city built an new public slaughterhouse / abattoir located in Brgy. Salvacion, Tacloban City
is now operational . For health reasons, slaughtered meat (pork, carabao,etc) needs to be inspected for
diseases in order to prevent the said meat to be cosumed by the general public.

_________________________________________________________________________
With its intrinsic function as the check and balance in local governance, the Sangguniang
Panglunsod (SP) exerts equal powers with the Executive Branch. It performs its functions through
parliamentary procedures done in the session hall through the conduct of a regular session once a
week. Plans, policies and projects, upon its formulation in the executive branch, are then passed to the
Sanggunian for approval and appropriation of funds.
Primarily the council enacts ordinances, passes resolutions and on fiscal matters sees to the
maximum generation of resources and revenues for the development plans, programs, priorities and
activities of the city, which in substance is for the general welfare of the constituents.
In addition, it ensures the proper and equal apportioning of funds and qualifying the priorities
set by the executive branch and notes the propriety of funding requests, fund disposal and
appropriations. In which case, pursuant to the legislative authority granted by Republic Act 7160 (Local
Government Code of 1991) to the Sanggunian and in accord to the laws, the SP has the authority to
reject or approve the appropriations passed by the executive branch.
Considering the advantage of the constituents, the council acts in a cooperative stance with the
executive council on matters that generate the general welfare of the citizenry. The Sangguniang
Panlungsod is composed of 57 officials and employees, 11 of whom are elected and representatives
from the Association of Barangay Chairmen (ABC) and Sangguniang Kabataan (SK).

6.30 CITY DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL

To act fairly on all line activities of the administration, the City Development Council (CDC) acts
as the planning and implementing arm of the executive branch. It assists the Sangguniang
Panglungsod in setting the direction of economic and social development and coordinating these
development efforts within its territorial jurisdiction.
The formulation of long term, medium term and annual economic development plans,
evaluation and prioritization of socio-economic development programs and projects, formulation of local
investment incentives, coordinate, monitor and evaluate the implementation of development projects
form part of the functions of this Special Body. The Committee has five sectoral committees for
cohesive planning and implementation of plans. These sectoral committees are General Administration
Coordination and Assistance Committee, Infrastructure and Utilities Development Committee,
Economic Development Committee, Environmental Development Committee and Social Development
Committee.
The Tacloban City Development Council is active and meetings are regularly conducted
particularly to approve collated projects and activities of the city government and barangays for
sourcing of funds and inclusion in the Annual Investment Program.
6.40 DEVELOPMENT LEGISLATION

Inventory of resolutions passed and ordinances enacted
92
_________________________________________________________________________
To be at pace with the rapid growth of the city as envisioned by the present administration, the
Sangguniang Panlungsod and its personnel earnestly maximize meager resources vis-a-vis
indisputable constraints such as, but not limited to, the lack of personnel and supplies in the
performance and discharge of its statutory mandate. Consistent with its intrinsic function as the check
and balance in local governance, the Sangguniang Panlungsod exerts equal powers with the Executive
Branch. It performs/discharges its functions through parliamentary procedures set in motion during
regular and special sessions at least once a week.
Primarily, the Sangguniang Panlungsod enacts ordinances and adopts resolutions necessary
for an efficient and effective City Government.
The Sangguniang Panlunsod is primarily tasked to enact ordinances and adopts resolution
designed to serve the general welfare of its constituents.
Role of the Legislative Body:

General Powers of the Sangguniang:
a. Rule Making
 Budget and Appropriation Budget appropriation
 General Welfare
 Regulatory Functions
 Taxation
b. enactment of internal rules
 Other powers necessarily implied there from or necessary, appropriate and incidental
for the effective governance
c. InvestigatoryReview
d. Adjudicatory or Quasi judicial
RESOLUTIONS
Several Resolutions have adopted by the Sangguniang Panlungsod relative to
recommendation for Financial assistance, resolutions authorizing the City Mayor to enter into various
contracts, Memoranda of Agreement, ratification of contracts, approval on review of Barangay
Ordinances, approval of Committee Reports, accreditation of NGO/POs
6.60 FISCAL MANAGEMENT
6.61 Status of Financial Health

Tacloban City’s fiscal capability could be appraised through the various sectors given the
necessary funding for implementation. As priorities were set, the next step would be appropriations for
these priority activities. The City Government is well prepared to implement these identified projects
and other obligations with consideration to the fiscal capability and revenue collected by the City
Government. Worth noting is that the income has been slowly making an upward trend attributed to the
measures employed for an effective and efficient revenue collection.
At the most, the finances, resources and budgetary requirements for services were properly
appropriated based on its prioritization and expediency. The economic, social and infra-utilities
services were given sectoral appropriations to sustain the thrust of development and support the
promotion for a better life for the people of Tacloban.
93
_________________________________________________________________________
The generation of income by the city government had a good turn-out due to the stringent
implementation of regulatory laws and ordinances and measures to make more income by way of the
economic enterprise divisions of the city government. Altogether with the judicious management of the
financial capability and regular monitoring of priority projects, the City Government of Tacloban
managed to lessen the unnecessary expense and allocated more for the development fund.
Revenues by Source

categorically stated that it is not IRA dependent because it is part of the total revenue considered for its
expenditure program. The present thrust of the local government is to improve its policies and activities
for effective and efficient income generation.

_________________________________________________________________________
An important and primary process was the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment (CCVA)
carried out by key local and regional agency stakeholders in partnership with UN Habitat. The process
was a mixed of methodology of UN Habitat’s vulnerability and adaptation assessment (VAA) and
HLURB’s supplemental guide to CLUP preparation. This is a flexible and participatory process of
identifying, quantifying, and prioritizing the overall vulnerabilities of the city determined through the
area’s exposure to Climate-induced and natural hazards, the degree by which a sector can be affected
by the hazards considering the existing and potential impacts or losses, and the status of their
capacities to adapt, avoid or reduce the impacts of the changing climate and its biophysical effects. This
process increases the awareness of the key stakeholders and guides local planners and decision-
makers in policy formulation, action planning and Investment programming.
The results of the assessment has spin-off the updating of the city’s Comprehensive Land Use
Plan (CLUP) and Comprehensive Development Plan CDP (CDP). It also informed the crafting of the
City’s Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) and Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Plan (LDRRMP).
In 2011, DOST-PAGASA published “Climate Change in the Philippines” as a reference for long
term spatial planning and medium term multi-sectoral planning of local government units. The changes
in climate for 2020 and 2050 were projectedusing the mid-range emission scenario (A1B) developed by
the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The A1 scenarios considered rapid economic
growth, global population that rose to 9 billion then gradually declines quick spread of new and efficient
technologies, and extensive social and cultural interactions worldwide. The A1B has a balanced
emphasis on all energy sources both fossil and non-fossil fuels. Based on the climate projections,
TaclobanCity will be affected by 3 major climate change drivers: increasing temperature, changes in
rainfall in various seasons, and increasing occurrences of extreme events in 2020 and 2050.
Temperature
Under the A1B scenario the projected mean monthly temperatures in the Philippines are
expected to rise by about 0.7ºC to 1.1ºC for 2020 and 1.6 ºC to 2.2 ºC by 2050.
For Tacloban City, the projected changes of monthly mean temperature indicate increasing
trends both in 2020 and 2050 using the A1B scenario.It is to be noted that all the projected changes are
relative to the baseline (1971-2000) climate. The figures below illustrate the average mean temperature
for Tacloban City.

Rainfall
There are varied trends in the magnitude and direction of the rainfall changes, both in 2020 and
2050. What the projections clearly indicate are the likely increase in the performance of the southwest
and the northeast monsoons in the provinces exposed to these climate controls when they prevail
over the country. Moreover, the usually wet seasons become wetter with the usually dry seasons
becoming also drier; and these could lead to more occurrences of floods and dry spells/droughts,
respectively.
Future changes in rainfall in Tacloban show generally increasing trend in rainfall during the wet
season from 0.3% to 58% and decreases in rainfall from -2.9% to -33.7%. The highest decrease in
rainfall is projected during the month of April from -27.9% to -33.7% which is considered the driest
month of the year in Tacloban. It is important to note that Tacloban is characterized as Type 2 climate
where maximum rainfall is observed from November to February. Projected changes in rainfall are
expected during the months of September to February except for the month of January. Generally
projected changes in rainfall in Tacloban indicate increase in rainfall during the wet season and
decreases in rainfall during the dry season as shown below.

The drier seasons of March-April-May will become drier still in most parts of the country in 2020
and 2050. Likewise the wetter seasons of June- August and September-November will become wetter
in Luzon and Visayas in 2020 and 2050. The model indicated that anthropogenic climate change will
probably lead to an active southwest monsoon in Luzon and Visayas as evident in future increases in
rainfall which is more pronounced in JJA and becoming greater with time.

Tacloban City’s monthly relative humidity is decreasing in 2020 onwards to 2050, from its
observed data (baseline of 1971-2000). The decrease is sharp in the months of MAM and August but
increases in November to December. With a scenario of rapid growth, Tacloban City’s future climates in
the next 30-40 years will be greatly influenced by past carbon emissions. Tacloban City needs to
introduce new and more efficient technologies to respond to the impacts of decreasing humidity to
different key sectors and systems, such as population, school and health facilities/services, water and
agriculture.
Table 47. Projected Change in Average Relative Humidity, Tacloban City
Extreme Events
The increasing trend in the frequency of occurrence of extreme events, including the episodes
of El Nino and La Nina phenomenon, poses threat in the City. PAGASA projections revealed that the
number of days with maximum temperature greater than 35 °C will increase to 1398 days and 2495
days in 2020 and 2050, respectively. The current observation of dry days for the same time period has
102
_________________________________________________________________________
reached 6874 while the projected figure is 5199 days in 2020 and is expected to increase to 5475 days
in 2050. Further, the projected number of days that will pour a rainfall amounting to more than 150 mm
will be 10 days in 2020 and 15 days in 2050. Projections on change in temperature and total frequency
of extreme events are presented in the table below.
Table 48. Frequency of Extreme Events, Tacloban City
Following the processes and templates provided in the Supplemental Guide to CLUP
preparation, the technical working group of Tacloban City analyzed further the projected climate
changes of the city, specifically the climate variables such as temperature increase/decrease, rainfall
increase/decrease and number of days with extreme events. Reference periods of 2020 and 2050 were
followed. These information led the TWG to derive and analyze the patterns of change of urban system,
agriculture, coastal/marine resource, forest/upland and sub-sectors such as population, critical
infrastructure and lifelines. Below is the summary of projected climate change in the city:

Based on the data above, there is a possible 1cm sea level rise every year in Tacloban City. In the next
50 years, half meter (50cm) of sea level rise is alarming considering that some parts of the city is within
low slope (0-1%). Some part of the city will be submerged because of frequent flooding causing
damages to the ecosystem and biodiversity.
Tacloban, in the past decade, has been used to frequent typhoon occurrences with speed and
strength averaging at 180-220 kph. In the next 2 decades the frequency of typhoons will be the same
but the Intensity will grow stronger. Super typhoon Yolanda, in 2013, is an example wherein 378 kph of
gustiness was experienced. Similar super typhoons are being experienced in other parts of the world
after Typhoon Yolanda.
Climate Trends
PAGASA recorded 63 tropical cyclones that passed through the Province of Leyte within the
period 1948-2013 where ST Yolanda was the strongest and deadliest so far.

7.40 Natural Hazards in Tacloban City

The Philippines is one of the most vulnerable countries in the world when it comes to natural
hazards and human-induced disasters. Tacloban City is one such city with Taclobanons being amongst
the most vulnerable people-group.
While barangays in the country differ in risks to hazards, all 138 barangays of the City are
susceptible to typhoons. Barangays in the northern portion of the city are most prone to rain-induced
landsides while flood hazard is mostly contained in the city proper and in low-lying barangays. The San
Jose District, which is composed of several barangays, is most likely to be affected by the storm surge
hazard together with the rest of the barangays along the Cancabato Bay, San Pedro and Anibong Bays
as the district stretches along the city’s sea coast.
The City of Tacloban has experienced various types of natural disasters in the past. Only a
number of these occurrences have been recorded but quite a number have been without any data or
record. The City’s Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) have identified a
number of significant events in the past decade. The table below lists some of those events which
resulted in loss of lives and damages to property. The figure below illustrates that most of the
barangays in Tacloban City are susceptible to soil liquefaction, flooding and tsunami.

Low-lying Areas are particularly susceptible to flooding. This problem is aggravated by
inadequate drainage facilities, encroachment on drainage ways, clogging of drainage systems and
removal of vegetation in the watersheds. Low areas along the open coast are susceptible to storm
surges. Storm surges occur during the very strong typhoons with strong winds and heavy downpour,
and sometimes even during strong monsoons. Storm surges that affected Tacloban City in the past
have been documented. This means that this potential hazard still exists (Gonzales, 1994). (See map
below)
111
_________________________________________________________________________
The low-lying areas that are prone to flooding are the lowland plains southwest of the City
proper, which include portions of Apitong, Sagkahan, Caibaan, Calanipawan, all of Marasbaras and
San Jose, portions of Tigbao, Diit, Cabalawan, San Isidro, Tagpuro, Old Kawayan, New Kawayan and
Tacloban City. The coastal areas that are particularly susceptible to storm surges are the coastal
barangays of San Jose, Marasbaras and Tacloban City proper. Their proximity to deeper and open
waters (especially San Jose which is facing the San Pedro Bay), qualifies these places as a surge
prone area, especially during typhoons and strong monsoons.
112
_________________________________________________________________________
Map 1.Flood Hazard Map
Landslide
Slope erosion caused by heavy surface runoff during strong rains often occur in elevated areas
with considerable steepness of slopes and covered with unconsolidated or loose rocks and alluvium.
This can also occur in places where heavy surface runoff occurs and natural vegetative cover is scarce
or absent, such as denuded hills covered with cogon grass instead of trees. These conditions are
present mostly in the mid-section towards the southern portion of the Western Mountain and hilly chains
of Tacloban, especially in slopes with minimal vegetative cover. The northern section of this
mountainous chain also has some slope erosion potential, but these can be more related to
earthquake-generated landslides rather than those caused by surface water run-off.Lately, there have
been landslide events that occurred in the city as in the case of Bagacay, Anibong, and Camansihay
which unfortunately caused casualties and damage to properties.
Revegetation of the denuded, steep-slope areas can be an effective measure to limit slope erosion and
landslides in vulnerable areas. Engineering measures, when possible, such as slope stabilization, can
be applied in landslide-prone areas where major infrastructures, such as Natl. Roads, are located.
Knowledge of these areas is also important in guiding the location and development of new
infrastructure. The strict enforcement of laws prohibiting the families from occupying the landslide prone
area is another way of minimizing casualties in the event of thatthese disasters occurs.

Earthquake
Tacloban City is generally close to the active Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ), the ‘high angle fault
line’ that runs through the middle of Leyte Island. The PFZ is a major earthquake generator and may
114
_________________________________________________________________________
have been the immediate source of earthquakes that has affected Tacloban City in the past. The
Philippine Trench (PT), which is located at the eastern coast of Samar but quite far from Tacloban, can
also be an earthquake generator on a lesser degree than that of the PFZ. See structural map.
The two minor thrust faults immediately located near Tacloban City may or may not pose a
direct threat to the City itself. This is because of the nature of activity of these geological structures may
not have been completely established, as to whether the faults are still active or not. Previous reports
inferred that these structures have been inactive for quite sometime, but recent studies will help in
confirming this problem (Balce, C., pers. Comm.., 1997).
Most of the city areas are underlain by igneous rocks represented by the Tacloban Ophiolite,
especially in elevated areas like Salvacion and Tigbao. Settlements and structures located over these
areas are less susceptible to ground shaking because igneous rocks generally provide better
foundation for infrastructures.
Areas that are underlain by loosely stratified sedimentary rock units and recent alluvial and
sand deposits are more susceptible to ground shaking. The presence of weak planar contact between
the different beds of sedimentary rocks, as well as their lower density as compared to igneous rocks,
allow for an increased effect of ground shaking.
The stronger shaking is more prevalent on thick and poorly stratified alluvial soils and poorly
compacted or constantly wet sands because these sediments are loose enough to be re-mobilized
during ground shaking.
Areas wherein these conditions allow for a strong, ground shaking potential are the areas
underlain by all the sedimentary rock units and recent alluvial and sand deposits. Most of these areas
are located along the rolling to low-lying coastal areas of the city such as the city proper, San Jose and
the Airport area, the low-lying areas southeast of the city proper, and narrow low-lying portions along
the coast facing San Juanico Strait.
115

Map 3.Earthquake Hazard Map
Storm Surge
Low areas along the open coast are susceptible to storm surges. Storm surges occur during
strong typhoons with strong winds and heavy downpour. There are a number of Storm surge
116
_________________________________________________________________________
occurrences that affected Tacloban City in the past that have been documented. This means that this
potential hazard may still affect the City in the future (Gonzales, 1994). The coastal areas that are
particularly susceptible to storm surges are the coastal barangays of San Jose, Marasbaras and
Tacloban City proper. Their proximity to deeper and open waters (especially San Jose which is facing
the San Pedro Bay), qualifies these places as a surge-prone area, especially during typhoons. The
coastal areas along the San Juanico Strait have a low surge potential as these places normally have
relatively calm waters and are next to a small body of water.
When super typhoon Yolanda struck the City in November 2013, the hardest hit areas were
those located near the coast wherein houses, infrastructures, and utilities were damaged. The height of
the storm surge reached up to 15 feet in some areas and the water reached the second floor of
buildings and practically covered one-storey high structures in other low-lying locations. The worst hit
areas were in the coastline of San Jose, Fatima Village to Magsaysay Boulevard, Anibong Area, and
Nula-tula to Diit.
To discourage families from building in the storm surge area, there is a no dwelling policy within
40 meters from the shoreline wherein residential structures are not allowed. The worst hit were in the
coastline of San Jose, Fatima Village to Magsaysay boulevard, Anibong Area, Nula-tula to Diit. There is
a proposed tide embankment and road hightening to counter the effect of storm surge in the future.
117
_________________________________________________________________________
Map 4. Storm Surge Hazard Map
Liquefaction
Liquefaction of the ground is also associated with this ground shaking motion. This process
usually happens in regions that are underlain by loose or compacted and/or wet sands, and poorly
consolidated, compact or loose alluvial sediments. Tacloban City had been identified as one of the
118
_________________________________________________________________________
places in the Philippines with a strong potential for liquefaction (Torres, et.al., 1994) The location of the
Airport in San Jose, which is southeast of Tacloban City proper is susceptible to this kind of hazard.
Proper foundation, structural and soil engineering measures can be applied for built structures
in areas, that are prone to both ground-shaking and liquefaction hazards. The basement bedrocks that
can be stable and can withstand the effects of earthquakes may not be too deep to reach for laying
foundation to large-scale, high density structures.
Undertaking a detailed geological and geotechnical studies in the area will be of great
importance as this will help in understanding the mechanics of the immediate geological structures, as
well as the geotechnical properties of the rocks and sediments. All of these measures will greatly
minimize the adverse effects of earthquake-related hazards in prone areas. (see map below)
119
_________________________________________________________________________
Tsunami
Tacloban City is generally close to the active Philippine Fault Zone (PFZ), the ‘high angle fault
line’ that runs through the middle of Leyte Island. The PFZ is a major earthquake generator and may
120
_________________________________________________________________________
have been the immediate source of earthquakes that has affected Tacloban City in the past. The
Philippine Trench (PT), which is located at the eastern coast of Samar but quite far from Tacloban, can
also be an earthquake generator on a lesser degree than that of the PFZ. See structural map.
Low areas along the open coast are susceptible to tsunami. Tsunami occur during strong
earthquake. There is tsunami that affected Tacloban City in the past that have been documented. But
that the potential hazard may still affect the City in the future (Gonzales, 1994) since we are directly
parallel to the Philippine Trench and if a strong earthquake occurs within the Pacific Ocean particularly
in Leyte & Samar Area . The coastal areas that are particularly susceptible to Tsunami are the coastal
barangays of San Jose, Marasbaras and Tacloban City proper. Their proximity to deeper and open
waters (especially San Jose which is facing the San Pedro Bay), qualifies these places as a tsunami
area, especially during strong earthquakes. The coastal areas along the San Juanico Strait have a low
tsunami potential as these places normally have relatively calm waters and are next to a small body of
water.
In the event that a tsunami will occur in the future, the hardest hit that will be affected by
tsunami are those located near the coast wherein houses, infrastructures, and utilities will be damaged.
Based on several studies, the behavior of the surge during typhoon Yolanda and the Tsunami are
similar and the height of the tsunami will reached up to 15 feet in some areas and the water reached
the second floor of buildings and practically covered one-storey high structures in other low-lying
locations. The same areas will be damaged particularly in the coastline of San Jose, Fatima Village to
Magsaysay Boulevard, Anibong Area, and Nula-tula to Diit.
To discourage families from building in the storm surge and tsunami area, there is a no
dwelling policy within 40 meters from the shoreline wherein residential structures are not allowed. The
coastline of Tacloban particularly San Jose, Fatima Village to Magsaysay boulevard, Anibong Area,
Nula-tula to Diit are the most tsunami prone areas. There is an on-going tide embankment and road
hightening to counter the effect of tsunami and storm surge in the future.

routes for the population must be ensured to adapt to the risk.
7.54 Exposure and Risk of Population to Storm Surge
129
_________________________________________________________________________
The potential to experience another occurrence of storm surges is mostly felt by communities
located along and near the coast of the City. These communities are the heavily populated locations in
Tacloban. Measures have been enacted to minimize or even remove the risk to the exposed
population. The relocation of families to the north has been an effort to resettle displaced families in
areas relatively free from storm surge hazard. The map below shows the exposed communities:

In the event that a 3m high storm surge will struck Tacloban City again, majority of the southern
part of the city is at risk to surge considering that it is densely populated and most structures are at a
low level (3m average). The scenario can only be changed once the tide embankment is realized,
which is expected to protect the southern part of the city. The northern part of the city is at low risk to
surge since that most structures are at a higher elevation except at some parts in Brgy. Diit and Brgy.

7.55 Exposure and Risk of Urban Use to Flood
131
_________________________________________________________________________
Majority of the southern part of the city is exposed to flooding since most structures are at a
low elevation and the drainage system needs to be improved and expanded. The northern part of the
city experiences low exposure to flooding considering that most structures are located at a higher
elevation except at some parts where there are settlements beside the rivers. The scenario can only be
changed once a fully operational drainage system is in place.

Tacloban City since most urban structures are at a low elevation and the drainage system in the area
has to be rehabilitated.
7.56 Exposure and Risk of Urban Use to Landslide
134
_________________________________________________________________________
Except for some area in the south, the northern part of the city is generally with low exposure to
rain-induced landslide considering that most structures are at low slope. Most of the relocation sites in
the north are outside the danger zone. As a precautionary measure, the City discourages settlers to
reside in identified landslide-prone areas. The strict implementation of the law regarding vulnerable
areas to landslide must be ensured.

7.59 Exposure and Risk of Natural Resources to Flood
The Natural Resources located in the northern portion of the city are highly exposed to flooding
because they are located in low land. On the other hand, some areas are at low risk to flooding
considering that they are occupying higher elevation especially forest production areas.For those
agricultural areas in low-lying topography, proper drainage will help solve the problem of flooding.
The flooding hazard may affect the sustainability of production in agricultural communities if not
mitigated. It is essential to ensure that these areas are free from flooding so as not to affect the City’s
food source.

7.60 SUMMARY OF LAND USE CONSTRAINTS

Tacloban City has its own land use constraints and issues related to climate and disaster risks
such as surge, earthquake, flood and landslide. However, these challenges can be considered by the
City as a ground to make good on its vision and mission statements for the given plan period.
Below are the technical findings on the workshops conducted relative to Climate Disaster Risk
Assessment (CDRA) as well as the decision area description and implication of each finding. Further,
policy interventions are enumerated to help the City come up with solutions for each climate and
disaster risk. Lastly, these technical findings are based on seven decision areas namely: population,
urban land use, critical facilities, water supply, power, roads and natural resources.
