1 DEMOGRAPHY
Demography is concerned with the collection and analysis of data relating to population
indicators and the interpretation of these data against social, biological, economic, political,
geographical, ecological and historical background.
1.1 Population
To provide a comprehensive demographic profile of the municipality, it is imperative that both
population processes and population outcomes be taken into explicit considerations. The basic
data on population was derived from the NSO population data, and the locally generated CBMS
Monitoring, the BIDANI-BMIS Survey (Barangay Management Information System) and other
sources as indicated.
1.2 Population Composition
Total Population by Age Group and Gender

Based on the information from the 2007 Census of Population and 2010 Census of Population
and Housing conducted by the National Statistics Office on August 1, 2007 and May 1, 2010
respectively, the age group for both male and female population were estimated and shown in
the figure provided.
The age-sex distribution is usually presented in a bar graph that is as symmetrical as a pyramid.
The population pyramid provides, among others, a quick description of the relative size of the
male and female population by age groups. The same information is also provided in a tabular
form following the population pyramid.
In terms of age-sex structure plotted as population pyramid, the shape for Rosario shows an
expansive structure indicating a young population. The base of the pyramid however is slightly
constricted that suggests fertility may be declining in the long term. Another implication points
to a decelerating population growth rate. In general, however, the broad base of the pyramid
still indicates high fertility at this time. One more observation is the decreasing male and the
female population as they mature with age tapering off at the top where there are more
females than males which we already mentioned in the previous section. The age-sex structure
showed little change over the past 8 years. The dark-colored horizontal bars represent the male
and female population for 2015 and the light-colored ones are for the 2007 male and female
population.
We can describe the relationship between the male and female population in terms of sex ratio.
It is the number of males for every 100 females. The indicative sex ratio for 2015 is 101.6 that is
comparatively lower than the 102.6 ratio registered during the 1999 planning period. The male
population still dominates the females in terms of number at this time but the females are
catching up. When compared by age groups, the females markedly outnumber the males at the
age of 55 and over indicating a superior longevity for the women of Rosario.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

Figure 1. Population Pyramid, Calendar Year 2007 vs. Calendar Year 2015
The population of Rosario can also be described in terms of these broad age groups: the school
going-age, the dependent population, the employable group and the elderly.
The young dependents or the children and youth – are below 15 years old and are considered
too young to work. They constitute 41.3% or about 2 persons for every 5 population. This is
slightly higher than the 39.5% prevailing in 1999. This trend is also indicated by the generally
broad base of the population pyramid in the figure described earlier.
The productive population or the working age group is the population consisting of 15 to 64
year-olds. They make up 58.7 % of the total or 6 of 10 people in Rosario. This number is slightly
higher than the 56.2% recorded in the previous planning period.
The elderly or the 65-year olds and over are already considered too old to work. They represent
the remaining 4.7% of the population or 1 in every 20 people of Rosario. This number is slightly
higher than the 4.2% entry in 1999. This could be an emerging trend of an increasing proportion
of the elderly among our population. The elderly constitute less than 5% of the population now
but their representation is growing over the past 12 years; and the females outnumber males in
this group pointing to superior longevity compared to the male population.
Age Dependency Ratio

The age dependency ratio is defined as the ratio of the population who are below 15 and over
65 years old for every 100 persons in the working age group of 15-64 years old. For 2015, the
age dependency ratio was placed at 70 which is better than the 78 dependency ratio obtained in
1999.
Since this ratio indicates the extent to which those who are too young or too old to earn a living
depend for support on those who work, a lower ratio means less number of dependents for
every 100 persons of working ages or those who are or who may be earning a living.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

Consequently, the impact of this situation is that portions of the family income could now be
used for more business and investment activities that ultimately would help improve the local
economy.
Labor Force and Employment

Labor force or the economically active population refers to population 15 years old and over
who are either employed or unemployed. Employed persons refer to persons who work for pay
in any government or private enterprise or those who work for profit; or with or without pay on
the farm or business operated by a member of the same household related by blood, marriage
or adoption regardless of the number of hours devoted for work. Also included are those who
are temporarily absent from job or business because of such reasons as temporary illness,
vacationing, striking or other valid reasons.
Unemployed persons include all those who are reported wanting and looking for work on a full
time basis. The desire to work must be sincere and the person must be serious about working
Economically active population or the age group 15 years old and over accounted for 63.4% of
the population. This is higher than the 55.5% recorded in 1999 and consistent with our
observation that the age dependency ratio was improving over the last 12 years since the last
planning period. Interestingly for 2015, the labor force (15 years and over) age group is evenly
distributed between the males and the females.
There is good news in the labor sector. The labor force population has 6 out of 10 persons
employed in 2015 while it was 5 out of 10 persons over 12 years ago. Majority of the male
population in the labor force are employed while majority of the female population in the same
age group are not in the labor force. This is something that the Gender-Responsive Medium
Term Plan for 2012-2016 of the municipality attempts to address. Interestingly, about 57.5% or
6 of 10 persons in the labor force came from the rural areas.
School-Age Population
School going population numbering 54,228 for 2015 consists of the pre-school, elementary,
secondary, senior high school and tertiary levels. The elementary level age group at 15% was the
largest component of this group followed by the preschoolers, secondary level, senior high
school and the tertiary level with shares ranging from 4-10% of the total school-going age
population. There are more males than females in this age group.

1.3 Population Distribution

One characteristic of the population that has great implications on planning is the pattern of its
distribution over the municipal territory. An indicator of population distribution is gross
population density by barangay, which is expressed as the number of persons per unit of land
area usually in hectares or square kilometers. However, there are portions of the municipal
territory which are not habitable. Therefore, some refinements will be introduced by using net
population density which is the ratio of the population to total area of arable lands. Under this
plan, an arable land, for convenience, is the total area of lands classified as “alienable and
disposable” (excluding forestlands and rivers and creeks).
Urban and Rural Household Population

Urban population refers to the population residing in the urban barangays while the rural
population refers to the population residing in the rural barangays as classified by the NSO.
Before the new definition, the Philippines classify urban and rural areas using the physical and
economic characteristics of barangays. The definition of urban areas, which has been in use
since the 1970 census, considers population density, street pattern, and presence of
establishments and facilities for basic services.
Presently, however, the NSCB Resolution No. 9, Series of 2003, shall be referred to for definition
of urban areas/barangays. Indeed, the time is ripe for reclassification of some rural barangays
into urban barangays because a number of them can easily meet the following categories
enunciated in the said NSCB Resolution:
(1) If a barangay has a population size of 5,000 or more, then a barangay is

considered urban, or
(2) If a barangay has at least one establishment with a minimum of 100

employees, a barangay is considered urban, or
(3) If a barangay has 5 or more establishments with a minimum of 10

employees, and 5 or more facilities within the two-kilometer radius from the
barangay hall, then a barangay is considered urban.
The NSO adopted the recommended definition starting in the 2005 Census of Population
(PopCen). By this consideration, the NSO has already classified the following as urban barangays:
the four Poblacion Barangays B, C, D and E, Bagong Pook and Namuco. Barangay Alupay and
Poblacion A, however, were still included by the Philippine Statistics Authority in its list of urban
barangays under the Philippine Standard Geographic Code (PSGC) but were already de-
urbanized in other PSA publications.
But there are other barangays that can easily fit into the category of urban barangays based on
the definitions cited above. Most commonly, for Category 1 – if a barangay has a population size
of 5,000 or more, a barangay is considered urban. For practical purposes and for a more realistic
planning scenario, this plan would treat the following as urban barangays: Itlugan (2015
population, 5,411) and Namunga (2015 population, 5,385).
There are also barangays contiguous with the Poblacion and the new urban barangays that can
easily fit into another NSCB definition, specifically, Category 3 – if a barangay has 5 or more
establishments with a minimum of 10 employees, and 5 or more facilities within the two-
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
7
kilometer radius from the barangay hall, then a barangay is considered urban. These barangays
are: San Roque and Masaya. Because of the economic impact of Puyat Steel Corporation, as well
as the proliferation of business establishments within the barangay along the Batangas-Rosario
National Road, Barangay Masaya is considered an urban barangay under this plan. Barangay
Quilib, which now hosts Eco-Verde Homes, Rosario Resort Hotel and many other commercial
establishments, along the Lipa-San Juan National Road, is treated an urban barangay following
the same considerations.
Portions of Barangays San Roque, Bagong Pook, Namuco and Namunga were already part of the
urban residential and commercial expansion areas delineated by the previous planning period
(CLUP: 2000-2010).

The following table shows the urban and rural household population distribution in the
municipality. One-third of the population is in the 13 urban barangays and the remaining two-
thirds are in the 36 rural barangays. Over 6% of the urban population is in the Poblacion
barangays, while the remaining 27% is in the other urban barangays.

The 11 most populous barangays are home to over 40% of the population. These include all of
the 7 urban barangays outside the Poblacion namely: Bagong Pook, Itlugan, Namunga, Namuco,
Alupay, San Roque and Masaya. These barangays are within the 3-kilometer radius of the
Poblacion; hence, of close proximity to the central business district.
Barangays San Carlos and Alupay are traversed by the Lipa-San Juan Road, which give them
better accessibility to transportation lines utilized by public utility buses and jeepneys.
Barangays Bulihan and San Isidro are situated along the municipal boundary with Taysan and
San Juan, respectively. Although they are relatively out of the way of the National Road and
further way from the Poblacion, but they are fortunate to have been serviced by Provincial
Roads along their length, making them accessible to various modes of transportation.

1.3.1.1 Sparsely populated barangays

A little over 10% of the population are from the 11 least populated barangays of the
municipality. There are several possible reasons why they belong to this category. Poblacion A,
B, C and D are 4 of 5 Poblacion barangays but they have very limited built up area. Portions of
Tombol Hill form part of Poblacion A and B. For some time, Poblacion A still has hectares of
irrigated rice area and orchards.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

Significant portions of Poblacion B are institutional uses including the Municipal Hall Complex,
Municipal Slaughterhouse, the devolved Department of Agriculture compound, the Roman
Catholic and Aglipayan Churches, the Tombol Hill recreation center with its old public swimming
pool, dancing hall and the waterworks facilities constructed over Tombol River, some medical
facilities, banks and academic institutions and other non-residential land uses.
Poblacion C has the largest single parcel of mostly idle land of about 23,240 square meters
owned by the Manguiats. Together with the Laurel Park, these 2 parcels of lots represent over
28% of the total land area of the barangay not devoted to residential use.
Poblacion D is the location of 3 cemeteries/memorial parks including the Municipal Cemetery

and Provincial Cemetery comprising close to 20% of the total land area of the barangay.
The three farthest highland barangays Matamis, Antipolo and Palacpac with a linear distance of
more or less 20 kilometers from the Poblacion, also has the least household population ranked
48th, 47th and 46th respectively. The accessibility is constrained by the distance and terrain of
these hilly land barangays.
Barangays Maligaya, Macalamcam A, Lumbangan and Bayawang complete the list of psaresely
populated settlement areas of the municipality. The Batangas Racing Circuit is located in
Maligaya, while Sunchamp Agricultural Tourism facility is located largely in Bayawang, both of
which are centrally located relative to the layout of the municipality.

Urbanization Level and Tempo

The word "urbanization" has a double meaning: it can indicate a situation existing at any
particular moment, in which instance it is best to speak of a level of urbanization; or it can be
used to express the trend of urban developments, in which instance it is better to speak of the
tempo of urbanization.
1.3.2.1 Level of Urbanization

The level of urbanization or the proportion of urban population to the total population indicates
the concentration of the population in urban areas. Therefore, where there are economic
activities or opportunities in an area, in-migration occurs resulting in increasing population.
Extent of urbanization of a locality at a certain point in time is indicative of the progress or
development taking place.

Historically, from the time that the Province of Batangas was reorganized by virtue of United
States Philippine Commission Act No. 958 – which took effect on October 23, 1903 – up the year
1970 when urban barangays were first classified, the population of Rosario remains mostly rural.
Over the decades since 1970, although the level of urbanization was steadily rising, this peaked
at 33.4% in 2015. Notably, the level of urbanization of Rosario in 2010 was just comparable to
1970’s level of the province, and only close to half of the regional and national levels of
urbanization also in the 1970’s.
For some observers, Asian urbanization has also been fueled by rural-urban migration, natural
increase, and reclassification, but these forces have been shaped by the different political-
economic and cultural structures of the region.
The robust increase in urbanization recently is driven mainly by reclassification of several

barangays from rural to urban. For the first time in 2015, in addition to the old urban barangays
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
12
of the Poblacion, this plan (2016-2030) considered 8 barangays as new urban settlements,
namely: Alupay, Bagong Pook, Itlugan, Masaya, Namuco, Namunga, San Roque and Quilib (see
Map of Urban and Rural Barangays, this section).
The following tables show the composition of the urban population and the annual population
growth rates over the decades 1970-2010:

During the previous planning period (2000-2010), the decrease in level of urban
population (Poblacion) between 1970-1980 was attributed to the growing economic
opportunities that could be found at that time in the rural barangays of the municipality.
The progressive expansion of development in the rural communities further indicates the
impact of agro-industrialization on urbanization. Improved accessibility of rural barangays
because of road improvements (concreting of roads) and availability of means of transportation
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
13
(tricycles with terminals in road junctions) in the rural areas were motivations for people to stay
in the rural settlements even if they are working in the Poblacion or in nearby municipalities and
cities.
This may be confirmed in the succeeding table which shows that the annual population growth
rate of the Poblacion from 1990-2010 barely increased, and even decelerated in 1990-2000
(0.5% APGR). This is clearly a further contrast to the fast growing Poblacion for 52 years from
1918 to 1970.

Another reason is that the Poblacion could be in the late stages of a demographic transition,
from high birth and death rates to lower birth and death rates that occurs as part of its
economic development where previously residential areas and idle lands are now generally
commercial zones. The Poblacion, in 2007 Census of Population, showed a lower young
dependency ratio and higher old-age depency ration compared to the municipality in general.
This result is consistent with the occurrence of a demographic transition for the old urban
settlement area.
The following table shows the comparison between the dependency ratios of the Poblacion and
the municipality in general:

For 30 years since 1970, the urban settlements consisted only of the 5 barangays of the
Poblacion. But by 2010, however, barangays were reclassified in compliance with NSCB
Resolution No.9, Series of 2003. Hence, the 2010 urban barangays consisted of the old
urban barangays Poblacion B, C, D and E (Category 3); while Poblacion A was de-
urbanized, along with Alupay. Completing the urban settlements are 2 new urban
barangays: Bagong Pook (Category 1) and Namuco (Category 2).
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
17
Most probably, the current municipal level of urbanization, more or less, is still close to
the 2015 provincial level of urbanization. The best validation of this conclusion is the
significant investments that came the way of the municipality in and out of the
Poblacion over the last 5 years: Sunchamp Agricultural Tourism Estate, SM Hypermart,
Maquiling Construction Depot, EastWest Bank, Chinabank, Mang Inasal, Eco-Verde
Homes, among many others.
1.3.2.2 Tempo of Urbanization

Judging by rates of growth in urban population of Rosario , the tempo of urbanization
was generally increasing for the past 35 years, reaching an all-time high in 2010-2015
(17.79%), while the lowest was in 1990-2000 (-2.56%) for this parameter.
Comparatively, the tempo of urbanization for the period 1918-1970 of 3.71% was higher
than decades 1970-1980, 1990-2000 and 2000-2010 with the tempo ranging from 0.36%
to 3.28% for the said decades.

The tempo of urbanization for the Province of Batangas drastically fell to negative 5.04%
in 2010 from an all-time high of almost 8% just 10 years before. Similarly, the
CALABARZON Region and the Philippines in general, for the past 20 years (1990-2010),
both exhibited decreasing trends in tempo of urbanization. Surprisingly, while the
municipality registered a modest 1.41% tempo of urbanization in 2000-2010 – those of
the provincial, regional and national were on reverse mode during the same period.
Consequently, this would indicate a shift of preference to rural settlements than further
densification of existing urban settlements, resulting to deceleration of urban
population growth rates over the past decades.
Indeed, from another perspective, analysis of the urban settlements growth rate of the
municipaltiy over the past 35 years consistently points to an increasing trend, with 2015
(18.05%) providing a robust spike due to inclusion of new urban settlements.
Population Density, Gross Population Density, Net Population Density, Urban

Density and Built-up Density
Among the more significant issues that relate to population growth is the one
concerning relationship between the increasing population and demand for available
land resources. Although its annual population growth rate is on the decline, but in
terms of actual number of persons living in the municipality that increases every year,
there remains the considerable pressure on its limited resources. This relationship may
be expressed in terms of population density. It is an index of distribution computed as
the ratio of the number of persons per square kilometer.
1.3.3.1 Population Density

concerning relationship between the increasing population and demand for available
land resources. Although its annual population growth rate is on the decline, but in
terms of actual number of persons living in the municipality that increases every year,
there remains the considerable pressure on its limited resources. This relationship may
be expressed in terms of population density. It is an index of distribution computed as
the ratio of the number of persons per square kilometer.
1.3.3.2 Gross Population Density

The Province of Batangas has already overtaken with very slim margin the CALABARZON
Region in terms of gross population density, which is also described as the ratio of the
total population of an area (say barangay, city or municipality) to the total land area.
Although Rosario is admittedly one of the top six most populous municipalities of the
province (National Statistics Office Household Statistics Department, 2010) and part of
CALABARZON in a larger sense, we are still way behind when it comes to our gross
population density.
Gross population density and rank of the 48 barangays was determined for the year
2011. The 10 most densely populated barangays in the municipality were the five
Poblacion Barangays A, B, C, D and E, Namunga, Namuco, Bagong Pook, San Roque and
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
19
Quilib. These barangays are some sort of gatekeepers because they are the entry point
barangays that one will have to pass through to get to the Poblacion.
On the other hand, the 11 sparsely populated barangays of the municipality were the
South East Cluster 1 Barangays namely, Antipolo, Calantas, Matamis, Palakpak, Tulos
and Leviste, and barangays Nasi, San Isidro, Mabunga, Mabato and Bayawang. Almost
all of these barangays are considered the highland barangays of the municipality, with
the exception of Bayawang, Mabato and portions of San Isidro. These barangays have a
gross population density of 1-2 persons per hectare.
1.3.3.3 Net Population Density
1.3.3.4 Urban Density

According to the planning standards prescribed by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory
Board (HLURB), an urban or built-up area is considered a low density area if it has a
density less than one hundred fifty (150) persons per hectare of urban or built-up area;
medium density if it has a density of one hundred fifty one to two hundred fifty (151-
250) persons per hectare of urban or built-up area; and high density if there are more
than two hundred fifty (250) persons per hectare of urban or built-up area. Based on
these standards and taking into account the 2011 gross urban density of the Poblacion
area at about 67 persons per hectare, it can be considered a low-density urban area as
a whole. Extending the same standards to the individual barangays of the Poblacion
yielded the same classification.
1.3.3.5 Built-up Density/Net Population Density

The area used here is not a defined political or administrative area but it is a delineated
built–up area from land use survey. We also defined a built-up area as a contiguous
grouping of ten (10) or more structures. Built-up density would indicate the
concentration of population in these identified built-up areas. In lieu of built-up density,
the net population density was deemed more accurate in describing the distribution of
the population in the 48 barangays of the municipality.
Figure 7. Population Distribution by Barangay, 2015

Hierarchy of Settlements/Barangay
1.3.4.1 Definition of Settlement

In the absence of a more formal description of settlement hierarchy in the CLUP Guidebooks, we
would be adopting the description of settlement hierarchy elsewhere.
A settlement is a place where people live. A settlement may be as small as a single house in a
remote area or as a large as a mega city. A settlement may be permanent or temporary. The
reason a settlement was developed or built can be thought of as its function.
In fact, some describe settlement hierarchy like a pyramid. At the base is the isolated dwelling,
above it is the hamlet or purok, the barangay or village, followed by the small town, large town,
city and conurbation. As one moves up the hierarchy, the size of the settlement and the
distance between similar sized settlements increases.
1.3.4.2 Settlement site and situation

The piece of land upon which a settlement is built is the settlement site. There are many
reasons why a site might be chosen for the development of a settlement and some factors will
be more important than others. The situation of a settlement is its position in relation to the
surrounding human and physical features, many of which will have an impact on the
settlement's type, size and function.
Generally, based on the Local Government Code of 1992, local governments can be a province,
city, municipality and barangay. In addition, a municipality can be in any of the income classes
set by the Department of Finance Department Order No. 23-08 dated July 29, 2008. Rosario is a
first class municipality composed of 48 barangays in the Fourth District of the province of
Batangas, situated in the southeastern part of the province. It is also considered a large town
based on the description provided by the Batangas Provincial Development & Physical
Framework Plan (PDPFP) 2008-2013.
1.3.4.3 Settlement functions

When settlements first started to grow, most had only one distinct function, and others
developed as the settlement grew. There are many reasons why a site might be chosen for the
development of a settlement and some factors will be more important than others.
Based on the same PDPFP 2008-2013, the province’s hierarchy of centers was divided into seven
namely highly urbanized city, large city, medium city, small city, large municipality, medium
municipality and small municipality. Rosario was included in the category of a large municipality
together with San Pascual, Bauan, Taal, Lemery, Calaca, Balayan, Nasugbu, Sto. Tomas and San
Juan. The stated roles are: (1) provincial services and administration and (2) international
production. These large municipalities, according to said PDPFP, provide the province’s services
and administration center wherein comprehensive shopping centers, tertiary health and
education services, processing and marketing services are present. There are also large and
medium industries and tourism areas in some of the towns.
1.3.4.4 Category of Barangays by Density and Growth Rate

Under this plan, the barangays of Rosario will be grouped in terms of Net Population Density for
the year 2010 and Annual Population Growth Rate for the decade 2000-2010 relative to that of
the CALABARZON. Barangays with higher density than the 758 persons per square kilometer of
the CALABARZON Region shall be considered high density. Similarly, barangays with annual
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
21
population growth rate faster than 3.07% registered by the CALABARZON Region for the decade
2000-2010 shall be considered fast growth.

There are 18 barangays that can be considered high density compared to the density of the
CALABARZON Region. These barangays are Poblacion E, Poblacion C, Poblacion D, Poblacion B,
Namunga, Poblacion A, Namuco, San Roque, Bagong Pook, Quilib, San Ignacio, Masaya, Malaya,
Balibago, San Jose, Itlugan, Santa Cruz and San Carlos. These settlements have net densities
ranging from 798 to 10,339 persons per square kilometer. These high density barangays are
concentrated in the Calumpang Subwatershed Zone; except for San Carlos, Natu and Balibago
that belong to the Malaquing Ilog Subwatershed Zone; and San Isidro that belong to the Lawaye
River Subwatershed Zone.
On the other hand, there are at least 6 settlements that can be considered fast growing:
Namunga, San Roque, San Jose that are part of Calumpang Subwatershed Zone; Balibago and
Natu, of Malaquing Ilog Subwatershed Zone; and lastly, San Isidro, of Lawaye River
Subwatershed Zone. They registered annual population growth rates of 3.17%-4.64% between
the years 2000-2010.
Figure 8. Category of Barangays by Density and Growth Rate Based on 2000 and 2010 Censuses
1.3.4.4.1 High Density Fast Growth Settlements

There are 4 settlements that fall under this category, namely, Namunga, San Roque, Balibago
and San Jose. Namunga and San Roque are new urban barangays, while Balibago and San Jose
are rural barangays. Balibago is contiguous to the new urban barangay Alupay, while San Jose is
contiguous to the new urban barangay Bagong Pook. These two barangays have the potentials
of becoming nodal growth centers.

The people or labor force choose to stay in places near the Central Business District where they
are employed. Investors build subdivisions to accommodate the needs of the people like Villa
Adela and Mango Cove at Barangay San Jose, while Villa San Roque and Doña Crisanta at
Barangay San Roque. Barangay Namunga is presently developing areas where commercial
establishments are coming like SM Hypermarket and existing of university and college. These
are big factors why residents are encouraged to build apartments and boarding houses.
Barangay Balibago is a developing area in terms of agricultural businesses. Aside from the
inheritance and expansion of family businesses in citrus farm (like orange and calamansi) and
orchard (like mango and papaya of different varieties), there are migrants who put investments
in poultry and piggery farm that require more employees and laborers or farmhands.
1.3.4.4.2 High Density Slow Growth Settlements

Except for San Ignacio, Malaya, Santa Cruz and San Carlos, the rest of the high density slow
growth settlements are now part of the urban growth boundary discussed elsewhere in this
section.
The characteristic slow growth of these barangays maybe attributed to some members of the
families from San Ignacio, Malaya and Santa Cruz immigrating to other countries or migrating to
other provinces. Others due to high cost of living are practicing family planning, resulting to low
birth rates. Even though Masaya has that big industrial company Puyat Steel Corporation,
workers are employed under agencies that may discourage them to reside permanently in the
community. Most of residential lots located at the Pueblo Niño Subdivision bought by overseas
contract workers were not intended for settlement but for investment only.
Similarly, most of the residents of Itlugan and Namuco have their own family businesses in their
place, near the Poblacion area and managed by their family members, thus reducing demand for
in-migration.
Furthermore, even though San Carlos is open for more opportunities, with businesses owned by
corporations – these operate with workers who are also residents of the barangay or who have
residences that are of close proximity and accessible to their employment. This is the reason
why they are not encouraged to migrate to the barangay.
On the other hand, most open spaces at Bagong Pook are still considered ricelands, the major
traditional crop of the municipality. Farmer-owners are mostly not interested in selling their
properties. Hence, significant expansion of residential settlements is not prevalent. Lastly, the
Poblacion area has no more spaces for settlement. Present constructions and renovations are
mostly for commercial purposes.
1.3.4.4.3 Low Density Fast Growth Settlements

There are only two settlements that fit under this category: Natu and San Isidro. Natu is situated
along the convergence of the Batangas City-Lucena City transit corridor and Lipa-Rosario-San
Juan Roads. This makes Natu very accessible and within the influence of this important corridor.
Meanwhile, San Isidro is expected become a new urban barangay by 2020 under Category 1 of
classifying barangays or those barangays with population size of 5,000 or more.
Agricultural businesses like piggery, poultry and citrus farming in Natu are increasing and they
may need more workers. The establishment here of the cockpit arena encouraged more
businesses in the vicinity. Meanwhile, at San Isidro, it has relatively large farm lots which
encouraged investors to come. Farm lots are sold through real estate brokers who now use
online marketing through website advertisement and social media, according to an informal

survey by the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator Manuel Luis B. Quizon.
Furtnermore, linkage with other Asian countries and international donors was made possible
through World Vision. The organization has an ongoing program to help the barangay in
educating and formulating growth and development of the community, as well as delivery of
soft projects like human resource development, and hard projects such as Level III potable water
supply. There is also a training center facility constructed to promote sustainable development.
1.3.4.4.4 Low Density Slow Growth Settlements

The rest of the barangays not included in any of the first 3 categories are contemplated as low-
density slow growth settlements. Nevertheless, by operation of Category 1 classification, it is
expected that Bulihan, Marilag, Pinagsibaan and Putingkahoy will have become new urban
barangays by the end of the planning period.
The Poblacion barangays of Poblacion A, B, C, D and E, being the old urban barangays and the
Central Business District of the municipality remain as the major growth centers. Considering
the combination of total population, net population density and population growth rate,
expansion of the urban areas in all directions is inevitable.
The previous plan identified several barangays that exhibited their functionality as centers of
population over the years. They absorb the spillover of people who needed places to stay closer
to the urban areas. In the process, they also benefited from the influx of people which tended to
create more economic activities supporting the basic needs of these new residents.
These barangays are largely agricultural areas, while some areas are forestland or classified as
timberland located in the hilly land barangays. Some owners of agricultural lands do not stay at
the barangay, but they build houses for vacation and other purposes. Other property owners are
working abroad or in other provinces. There are still others who have family-owned businesses
that they themselves manage.
Upland barangays are open for opportunities but constrained by availability transportation
system, and utilities such as potable water, reliable power supply and telephone services. Some
residents migrate to the low lands so that they will be near their work, while the children can go
to better secondary and tertiary schools.
Concomitant increase in population brought about by natural increase and inducement of

migration due to developments raise the expectation of higher urbanization level of the
municipality. These developments will be spread out in the municipality with a hierarchy of
nodal growth points and service centers considering the eight barangay clusters and the four
Subwatersheds of the municipality identified elsewhere in this plan. Each Subwatershed-cluster
will also be designated a functional role in the over-all development of the municipality.
The nodal growth points will be in barangays Calantas, Putingkahoy, Lumbangan, Alupay, San
Jose, Masaya and Poblacion A, B, C, D and E. Other barangays with the potentials of becoming
nodal growth centers are Natu, Balibago, San Carlos, Bulihan, San Isidro and San Ignacio.
Subwatershed Profile
The population, land area, gross density and number of barangays by subwatershed is presented
in the succeeding table. The percentages to total population, total land area and total number of
barangays were also computed to normalize the data.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

The Calumpang River Subwatershed (Western Municipal District) is where the population is
concentrated making it a high-density settlement with a gross density of 1,123 persons per
square kilometer. Over half of the total population is this Subwatershed covering 27.4% of the
total land area and spread in 23 barangays. Most of the urban barangays, including the
Poblacion, are situated in this Subwatershed
The Malaquing Ilog Subwatershed (Northeastern Municipal District) comprise over a quarter of
the total land area of the municipality and 3 out of 10 persons are based in this settlement, with
a population density of 635 persons per sq. km. and ranked 2nd to Calumpang River
Subwatershed. There are 15 barangays in this Subwatershed. This Subwatershed is traversed
over its entire length from east to west by the Rosario-San Juan National Road.
The Lawaye River Subwatershed (Eastern Municipal District) and Rosario River Subwatershed
(Southeastern Municipal District) combined comprise close to half of the total land area of the
municipality but with only 5 each or a total of 10 barangays. The sizes in terms of land area of
barangays in these Subwatersheds (east and southeast) are evidently larger than the other two
Subwatersheds (west and northeast) . The general topography is hilly land and steep slopes
making large portions of the arable land not suitable to residential, commercial nor industrial
structures. Moreover, the timberland areas are also found in these Subwatersheds. The Lawaye
River Subwatershed consists of 5 barangays yet it comprises a fifth of the total land area of the
municipality. Similarly, the Rosario River Subwatershed consist of only 5 barangays yet it
occupies over 25% of the total land area of the municipality, resulting to a sparsely populated
settlement. Headwaters of several perennial rivers are also found in these Subwatersheds.

1.4 Population Change

Processes of fertility, mortality and migration bring about the change of population. These
factors do not only affect the population size but its structure and composition as well.
Historical Growth of Population

The population of Rosario enumerated on various censuses from 1903-2007 could be described
as having two characteristic phases. The first phase is the slow growth years of 1903-1960; the
second phase, is the fast growth phase from 1960 to date.
The slow growth period 1903-1960 presented an annual population count that is generally
increasing. The population steadily increased from 8,326 in 1903 to 36,020 in 1948. The 1960
census, however, presented the first and only recorded actual decrease in population at 32,868
that was lower even when compared to the 1939 figure of 34,130 registered more than 20 years
earlier. Characteristically, the whole period of 1903-1960 presented a decelerating annual
population growth rate. This period covered the World War Years wherein the municipality
experienced hardships during the Japanese Occupation, which may have a factor in the behavior
of its population trend.
The second phase or the rapid growth period covers the years from 1960 to date, wherein the
population steadily increased, although its annual growth rate fluctuated. The population of the
municipality experienced an increase of more than 165% over this 20-year period. Within this
phase, the municipality moved from being a 5th Class Municipality in 1990 to 1st Class
Municipality in terms of income sometime in 2000, which was a validation of the rapid growth
and development of Rosario as a progressive community.
Overall, the growth of population behaved in such way that when before 1960, it took almost 50
years to reach the 1960 population level or double the estimated population in 1913. By 1960, it
took only 30 years to double the population which occurred sometime between 1989 and 1999.
The current population growth rate, however, suggests that it will just take 20 years to double
the 2010 population barring any out of the ordinary migration pattern that might occur along
the way or sometime in 2030, as the municipality steadily move ahead to economic growth and
development. The population growth rate for the period 1903-2010 is 2.4% annually.

Population Doubling Time

A quick way to estimate doubling time is to divide 69.3 by the growth rate expressed in percent.
For the period 2000-2007, the annual population growth rate of Rosario population was 3.62
percent. If this prevails over time, the population of the municipality would double in less than
20 years or sometime in 2029.
Fertility and Mortality

Fertility and mortality measures are presented in the following table in terms of Crude Birth
Rate (CBR) and Crude Death Rate (CDR):

2014 26.4 -14.4% 4.8 3.3%
1.4.3.1 Crude Birth Rate (CBR)

The CBR, usually expressed in terms of thousands, is a “crude” measure because births are
divided by the entire population (including those who do not give birth) and is affected by the
age structure. Crude Birth Rate (CBR) refers to the number of live births per 1,000 mid-year
population. The CBR trend was generally on the upward trend for the period 2007-2012 and
seems to have peaked at 32.3 live births per 1,000 mid-year population in 2012 which is very
close to the previous planning period of 32.6 in 1999. But since 2012, the CBR has been on the
decline for the past 3 years.
1.4.3.2 Crude Death Rate (CDR)

The CDR refers to the number of deaths per 1,000 mid-year population. It is crude because it
masks the effect of mortality on the population at different ages. CBR has been fluctuating over
the past 8 years but the general trend is increasing. Compared to the previous planning period,
the CDR in 1999 was 5.5 which was much higher than the peak of 4.8 (2014) registered during
the period 2007-2014.
Rate of Natural Increase (RNI) and In-Migration

RNI is the speed at which a population is increasing in a given period as a result of the
interaction of the natural demographic processes of births and deaths. This is the difference
between the crude birth rate (CBR) and crude death rate (CDR). The RNI is actually population
increase per 1,000 persons in a population but can also be expressed in terms of percent.
The annual population growth rate (APGR) of 3.6% was assumed to hold over the period 2008-
2030. Under this plan, the rate of in-migration was estimated to be the difference between the
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
31
APGR and RNI. The following table shows the RNI, in-migration rate and APGR over the period
2007-2014. During the period 2007-2011, the RNI was in a relatively stable range of 1.5%-1.7%
which was comparable to that of CALBARZON and the Philippines for 2008

Marital Status
For 2015, the percentage of married persons moved up by 0.40 percentage points to 47.8%
compared to the previous planning period. Married persons accounted for 47.4% of the
population 10 years old and over in 1999 which was an increase of 0.30 percentage points from
its proportion in 1990.
In contrast the proportion of never-married or single persons returned to 47.4% or the same
level it has 25 years ago in 1990. This is not much of an improvement from the 47.3% level of
previous planning period.
Looking at the single persons by gender, it shows that there are more single males than single
females overall. Drilling down to the age groups, we can see that 16% of the household
population 10 years old and over are males of employable age group (15-64 years old) the
females make up 12.3% of this same age group.
An interesting observation can be made of the widows outnumbering the widowers by almost 4
to 1. Hence, there is a strong need to really design the programs, projects and activities of the
local government units to be gender-responsive for the benefit of this group of women.

Mother Tongue/Ethnicity
Mother tongue refers to the language or dialect spoken by a person at his earliest childhood or
the language or dialect that a person first learned. Data on mother tongue are used in the
analysis of ethnic origin of a person.
The situation has changed little over the years. Tagalog is still the mother tongue of 96.0%-
99.6% of the population compared to 98.8% of the previous planning period. In terms of
regional ethnicity, Visayan represents 0.17%-0.21% while Bikol has 0.13%-0.34%, and Ilocano
ranges at 0.03%-0.07%. Mother tongue of foreign nationalities was also reported including
Chinese, Korean, Arab and American (BIDANI Barangay Management Information System, 2011).
This development is significant in the sense that international immigrants have now entered the
picture of the town’s demographic profile. The other trend is that more and more people of
non-Tagalog ethnicity are now becoming part of the local populace.
Understandably, the mother tongue of the population is overwhelmingly Tagalog since Rosario
is a municipality of Batangas, a historic Southern Tagalog province known for its distinct Tagalog
accent. This also indicates that most of the migrants are still from within the province itself or
from other Tagalog-speaking provinces.

Religious Affiliation
Majority of the population of Rosario remains Roman Catholic with estimates ranging 92.9%-
93.5% of the total population. These values are slightly higher compared to the 92.7% recorded
during the previous planning period. The Iglesia Ni Cristo, a religion that originated in the
country is still second ranging 2.2%-2.3% of the population which is essentially the same
proportion it has over 15 years ago. The Born Again Christians or the Evangelicals, depending on
which data you are using, are closing in at 1%-2% range, and they became the 3rd largest
religious group displacing the Aglipayan which is now anywhere between 4th to 5th spot.

2 PHYSICAL RESOURCES/ENVIRONMENT
This chapter relied heavily on the information available in the reference material Coastal
Environmental Profile of the Batangas Bay Region, GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the
Prevention and Management of Marine Pollution in East Asian Seas, 1996 and adopted its
descriptions when it comes to the discussion about the physical characteristics of the
municipality as cited in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Rosario, Batangas: 2000-2010
(Comprensive Land Use Plan of Rosario, Batangas: 2000-2010) . Other references were cited
accordingly when appropriate.

Figure 11. Radial Distance Map
2.1.1.1.1 From the east

The eastern route is along the Daang Maharlika or Philippine-Japan Friendship Highway from
Sto. Tomas, Batangas to Candelaria, Quezon where one takes a right turn to the San Juan-
Candelaria Jct-Candelaria-Bolboc Road the through the Rosario-San Juan Road which runs
directly right across the Poblacion barangays of the municipality. It is about 37 kilometers from
the Candelaria junction of Daang Maharlika and San Juan-Candelaria Jct-Candelaria-Bolboc Road
national highways right to the town hall of Rosario. Barangay Putingkahoy is the first barangay
or the entry point to be traversed by the Rosario-San Juan Road along this eastern route.
Rosario-San Juan Road runs on an east-west direction on the upper northern portion of the
municipality right across the central business district. A portion of the highway is within the
Poblacion is also known as Dr. Gualberto Avenue. Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJ) and Public Utility
Buses (PUB) loading and unloading areas are available along this portion of the Poblacion.
2.1.1.1.2 From the north

The northwestern route is either via the Southern Tagalog Access Road (STAR) or the Manila-
Batangas Road also from Sto. Tomas down to Lipa City where one takes a left turn towards the
central business district of the City and again turns left at P. Torres St. leading to Lipa-Rosario
Road which connects with the Batangas-Quezon Road in the Municipality of Padre Garcia. The
entry point is Barangay Quilib on the northwestern tip right after Padre Garcia, Batangas. A
portion of the said Batangas-Quezon Road Road is within the northern section of the Poblacion
and is also known as Carandang Street which crosses Dr. Gualberto Avenue in the Poblacion
area. PUJ loading and unloading areas are present in this junction of the Batangas-Quezon Road
and the Roasario-Taysan provincial road.
2.1.1.1.3 From the west

From Batangas City, the municipality is accessible via the Batangas-Quezon Road passing
through Ibaan municipality with Barangay San Ignacio as entrypoint.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
94
2.1.1.1.4 From the south

Rosario can also be accessed through rough and mountainous roads from Batangas City via Lobo
and Taysan municipalities through barangay Maalas-as on the southwestern boundaries.
Barangay Bulihan is also an entrypoint on this side of the municipality.
There are other entry points to the municipality. Likewise, jeepneys and buses ferry passengers
to and from the municipality. Internally, a network of provincial, municipal and barangay roads
provide accessibility and mobility.
Figure 12. Road Network Map
2.1.1.2 Boundaries
The municipality located at the southeastern portion of Batangas Province along with the south
eastern boundaries of the province with Quezon Province. It is bounded on the north by Lipa
City, Padre Garcia and San Antonio, Quezon; on the south by the municipalities of Taysan and
Lobo; east by the municipality of San Juan and on the west by the municipality of Ibaan. The
Municipality belongs to the Fourth Congressional District of Batangas Province.
Rosario is also considered as among the municipalities of Batangas Bay Region, which comprises
four coastal municipalities, one island municipality and nine interior municipalities whose
catchment areas drain into the Batangas Bay. It is one of the nine interior municipalities (Coastal
Environmental Profile of the Batangas Bay Region, 1996).
2.1.1.3 Land Area

The municipality has a total land area of 22,668.30 hectares based on the combination of the
Cadastral Survey CAD-426-D Maps for the Municipality of Rosario Batangas and the results of
digitization of the best available maps from NAMRIA, Municipal Assessor’s Office and other
relevant sources using ArcMap 10.1 Software.

Barangays Poblacion A, Poblacion B, Poblacion C, Poblacion D, Poblacion E and Alupay, Bagong

Pook, Namuco, Namunga, San Roque, Quilib, Itlugan and Masaya are the urban barangays of the
municipality. These barangays have a total area of 2,589.41 hectares which constitute the
Central Business District (CBD) and the Urban Growth Boundary of the municipality.
The remaining thirty-seven (35) barangays occupy the remaining area of 20,078.90 hectares,
which are considered rural barangays.

Political Units
The municipality is subdivided into 48 barangays. The robust increase in urbanization in recent
years led to reclassification of several barangays from rural to urban. For the first time in 2015,
in addition to the old urban barangays of the Poblacion, this plan (2016-2030) considered 8
barangays as new urban settlements, namely: Alupay, Bagong Pook, Itlugan, Masaya, Namuco,
Namunga, San Roque and Quilib (see Map of Urban and Rural Barangays, this section). Please
refer to the discussion on Urban and Rural Household Population in the Chapter on Demography
for the criteria used in the urban barangay classification.
These barangays shall be clusted into four districts based on the subwatershed area where they
belong: Northeastern Municipal District (Malaquing Ilog River Subwatershed), Eastern Municipal
District (Lawaye River Subwatershed), Southeastern Municipal District (Rosario River
Subwatershed), and Western Municipal District (Calumpang River Subwatershed).

2.2 Topography
Topographic Relief
Relief or topographic relief describes the amount of topographic change within a particular area
(The Gates of Lodore, 2010). The hilly land southeastern portion of the municipality comprising
the Rosario/Lobo River subwatershed, has relatively high relief with the highest point at 356
meters above mean sea level (MAMSL) found in Matamis, whereas its lowest point at 56
MAMSL is in Tulos, representing a total relief of 300 MAMSL.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
97
In comparison, the flatter northeastern portion of the municipality consisting of the Malaquing
Ilog subwatershed exhibits a low relief with the lowest point at 17 MAMSL is found in Salao
where the outlet of Malaquing Ilog to the municipality of San Juan is found. The highest point of
this subwatershed is at 162 MAMSL in Tiquiwan or a total relief of 145 MAMSL.
The eastern section of the municipality represented by the Lawaye/Bolbok River subwatershed
has the highest relief among its four subwatersheds. The highest point at 453 MAMSL is found in
the timberlands of Nazi, while the lowest point at 32 MAMSL is along the outlet of the Lawaye
River to the Municipality of San Juan, between San Isidro and Putingkahoy. Thus, the total relief
in Lawaye/Bolbok River subwatershed is 401 MAMSL.
On the other hand, the total relief of the western section of the municipality across the
Calumpang River subwatershed is relatively low at 158 MSL.

Slope
Using data elevation model (DEM) data, the municipality has largely gently sloping to rolling
terrain which constitutes over 73% of its total land area. Less than 2000 hectares of its total land
area can be considered level to nearly level and distributed throughout the municipality.

However, the generalized slope map obtained from (www.philigis.org, 2013) shows that about
86 hectares of this level to nearly level slope can be found in the northeastern portion of Salao
along the Malaquing Ilog River.
The timberlands found in Nazi and San Isidro, as well as in Matamis, have expectedly very steep
slopes. Similarly, the riparian zones of major rivers, which are tributaries of Calumpang River,
found in the western portion of the municipality, and that of the Ilog ng Bayan River, a tributary
of Malaquing Ilog running from San Carlos in the west heading east to Macalamcam B, tends to
have very steep slopes.
The areas across the northeastern and western sections of the municipality covering about 65
square kilometers have mostly gently sloping to undulating slopes. On the other hand, the
eastern and southeastern section of the municipality with an area of slightly over 65 square
kilometers tend to have

Drainage Patterns/Surface Drainage

Rosario has a moderate to good and excessive drainage. Excess surface run-off drained on the
tributaries of Kalumpang River on the west that ultimately releases its load on Batangas Bay
while the eastern portion drains on the tributaries of Malaking Ilog and Lawaye Rivers that exits
in Tayabas Bay. On the other hand, internal drainage was moderate to poor due to the
composition of the soil.

2.3 Vegetation/Vegetative Cover

The vegetation/vegetative cover data of the municipality was extracted from the Forest/Land
Cover Map from NAMRIA as of February 2011. It shows that over 50% of the municipality
consists of wooded grassland and natural grassland. Wooded lands with shrubs comprise
almost 25% of the municipality; while a similar coverage of about 25% total land area
has been approximated by land cultivated to annual crops. Built-up area is shown to be
less than 1% of the total. This last information may be modified by the data available for
the Existing Land Use Section elsewhere in this plan because the NAMRIA map was
estimated through remote sensing which can vary significantly at the ground level.

2.4 Soil
Type and Classification

Rosario has two types of soil. The Guadalupe clay loam soil type represents 57.7% of the total
land area while the Ibaan Clay Loam soil type covers the remaining 42.3% of the municipality.
The Guadalupe Series is described as follows (Bureau of Soils and Water Management, 2017)
Guadalupe Series Location : Sabang, Naic, Cavite
Classification : Leptic Udic Haplusterts
Parent Materials : Weathering clay residium and waterlaid tuffaceous materials
General Description : Level to nearly level, very poorly drained on flat areas, a major
Lowland soils for rice; cracks when dry and shrinks when wet.
Major Land Use : Paddy rice

Soil Suitability
The Guadalupe clay loam and the Ibaan clay loam are best suited to plants and crops like
coconut, rice, fruit trees, banana, corn, mongo, citrus, bamboo, grasses and shrubs. The
Guadalupe clay loam is recommended for upland field crops with simple soil erosion control
practices, while the Ibaan clay loam is recommended pasture (forage production) or tree farm.
Land Capability
The land capability of these soils ranges from fairly good (suitable for limited cultivation)
to good (suitable for cultivation).

2.5 Hydrogeological Features and Hazards
Geology/Rock Formation
According to the Bureau Mines and Geo-sciences Report of Investigation No. 117 published in
July 1983 entitled Geology and Groundwater Resources of Batangas prepared by Hernando P.
Quiazon, Cesar T. Villanueva and Juanito Palad, the hydrogeologic basement of Batangas
includes Oligocene metavolcanic and metasedimentary rocks. Early Miocene shale sandstone,
conglomerate, Middle Miocene horneblende-quartz diorite, Upper Miocene (?) or Middle
Miocene andesite lava, agglomerate and ash flows and Pliocene andesite lava and tight
agglomerate flows.
Late Miocene to Pliocene coralline and marly limestone covers a portion of the older rocks in
Calumpang Peninsula, Mapulo, Rosario, and very limited terrain in northern Nasugbo and
Batangas City.
Hence, the geology of Rosario is predominantly Tertiary to Quaternary and essentially of

igneous rocks with some metamorphic rocks. These rocks are widespread in the municipality,
formed during the Pleistocene period (Coastal Environmetal Profile of the Batangas Bay Region,
GEF/UNDP/IMO Regional Programme for the Prevention and Management of Marine Pollution
in East Asian Seas, 1996).
Over 62.1% of the municipality is overlain with volcanic ejecta, also known as Taal Tuff (Qtt)
derived from previous eruptions of Taal Volcano, which is now a caldera. The northeastern,
eastern and western parts of Rosario are overlain mostly by the Taal Tuff, whereas the
southeastern areas are largely San Juan Diorite (Nsjd) comprising about 34.4% of the total.
Interestingly, the San Juan metavolcanics and metasediments (Psjm) can also be found in San
Isidro and Nazi in the vicinity of the timberland areas, as well as in Antipolo and Tulos with about
545 hectares.
Similarly, the Pinamucan formation with about 457 hectares can be found in Antipolo and Tulos
adjacent to the San Juan metavolcanics and metasediments.
Finally, about 16 hectares of the Talahib andesite (Nta) variety can be found in Tulos. This is
mainly andesite flows interbedded with thin layers of pyroclastics and bedded tuff.

Groundwater Resources
Over 95% of groundwater pumped in Batangas is obtained from Pleistocene deposits, mostly
from pyroclastic rocks (Quiazon, Villanueva, & Palad, 1983).
Based on the Groundwater Availability Map of the Philippines (Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, The Presidential Task Force on Water Resources Development and
Management, and Mines and Geo-Sciences Bureau, 1997), there are three major categories and
seven sub-categories for groundwater availability:
I. Rocks in which flow is dominantly intergranular

A. Extensive and highly productive aquifers
B. Fairly extensive and productive aquifers

The following table shows that Rosario has three categories of groundwater availability, namely:
I-B, I-C and III-A.
Table 34. Groundwater Availability Map of the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas
Category Description Land Area (hectares) Distribution

I-B Fairly extensive and productive aquifers 11,219 49.5%
I-C Local and less productive aquifers 2,219 9.8%
III-A Rocks with limited potential, low to moderate
9,229 40.7%
permeability
Following its geologic formations, the northeastern, eastern and western areas of Rosario
consist of the fairly extensive and productive aquifers to local and less productive aquifers with
almost 60% of the total area of the municipality in this category. These areas mostly the level to
rolling terrain devoted largely devoted to rice production and other agricultural activities.
Rocks with limited potential, low to moderate permeability comprise the remaining 40% in the
southeastern portion the municipality. These are the hilly areas of the municipality.
Potential areas for further development could not be pinpointed exactly due to
incomplete data and information regarding static water levels and yield, lithology and
aquifers ground water flow pattern, permeability and thickness of saturated section and
other factors to be considered in identifying such areas. It could be said however that
lower areas have more potentials for ground water supply than highly elevated areas
(Bureau of Soils, 1985).

2.6 Mineral Resources
Early Explorations
The book Rosario of Batangas: Its Origin and Development authored by the Mr. Conrado T.
Reyes, who served in an administrative capacity for many years in the Municipal Government of
Rosario, Batangas, devoted a section about Mineral Resources with interesting details. Here are
the excerpts with minor modifications:
The mountain area of Southern Batangas Province of which the mountains of Rosario is a part, is
a vast natural resource. Metallic and non-metallic deposits such as copper, gold, limestone,
gypsum, clay and barite can be found in commercial quantity.
The area in Rosario had long been explored for copper and gold. Before the Second World War,
Japanese explorers had confirmed the presence of copper somewhere in Barangay Tulos.
Early in the 1960's, Black Mountain, a mining company, undertook an exploration of the same
area. It zeroed in Sitio Ahasan of TuIos. A tunnel several meters long had been bored on a hill.
The company's feasibility studies of the project at that time, made them stop further
exploration.
This same area, together with those in the jurisdictions of Batangas City, Lobo, Taysan and San
Juan has been reported to contain uranium by the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission's
investigation in 1953. In July and August of 1981, the Philippine Atomic Energy Commission
conducted a reconnaissance survey for uranium covering some 750 square kilometers of the
area. It delineated about 172 square kilometers further study (Letter to the Provincial Governor
dated 21 July 1981) as cited by (Reyes, 2008).
In February to April of 1982 another exploration group of the Philippine Atomic Energy
Commission, including a Malaysian trainee, conducted a semi-detailed level follow-up work of
the delineated area in Rosario, Batangas (Letter to the Municipal Mayor dated 11 February
1982) as cited by (Reyes, 2008). The result of this follow up work has not been made available to
the public.
During the state visit of Prime Minister Mahathir of Malaysia in 1994, a party of Malaysian
visitors to the province had been reported to have an aerial visit of this suspected uranium area.
Recent Explorations
An Exploration Permit (EP) is an initial mode of entry in mineral exploration allowing a Qualified
Person to undertake exploration activities for mineral resources in certain areas open to mining
in the country (Mines and Geosciences Bureau, 2017).
A Mineral Agreement on the other hand is an agreement between a Contractor and the
Government wherein the Government grants to the Contractor the exclusive right to conduct
mining operations within, but not title over, the contract area. Mining operations that are
allowed under Mineral Agreements include development/construction and utilization of mineral
resources including the continuance of exploration works during the conduct of
development/construction/utilization activities. Mineral Agreements are classified into:
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
115
(1) Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) - a mineral agreement wherein

Government shares in the production of the Contractor, whether in kind or in value,
as owner of the minerals. In return, the Contractor shall provide the necessary
financing, technology, management and personnel for the mining project.
(2) Co-Production Agreement (CA) – a mineral agreement wherein the Government provides
inputs to the mining operations other than the mineral resources; and
(3) Joint Venture Agreement (JVA) – a mineral agreement wherein the Government and the
Contractor organize a joint venture company with both parties having equity shares. For its
share, the Government is entitled to a share in the gross output of the mining project aside from
its earnings in the equity of the company (Mines and Geosciences Bureau, 2017).
In recent years, various mineral agreements or Mining Tenements within the Municipality of
Rosario included Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) for Archangel and Exploration
Permits (EP’s) for Pica, El Paso and Rosario. These are shown in the Tenement Map as derived
from the Batangas Tenement Map prepared by MRL Gold Inc. shown in the report entitled Red
Mountain to Farm-Out Non-Core Batangas Exploration Permits dated September 2, 2015 and
published by Red Mountain Mining (Red Mountain Mining, 2015), as follows:
Figure 26. Rosario Tenement Map as of September 2, 2015 (Red Mountain Mining, 2015)
Red Mountain Mining (ASX: RMX) is a gold exploration and development company which listed
on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in September 2011. The company’s strategy is to
unlock the potential of ‘under-developed’ gold and polymetallic projects in the greater Asian
region by introducing Australian exploration and mining methods and improving efficiencies to
gain significant exploration and production upside.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
116
The company holds a 100% direct and indirect contractual right interest in tenements in the
Philippines that contain significant gold resources. Total Mineral Resources at Batangas
include Indicated Resources of 2.97 million tonnes @ 2.4 g/t Au, 227,000oz Au and Inferred
Resources of 3.22 million tonnes @ 2.1 g/t Au, 218,000oz Au for a total of 6.19 million tonnes at
2.2 g/t Au, 444,000oz Au (ASX announcement 30 June 2014, JORC 2012). The company is
continuing exploration with the objective of upgrading mineral resources at Batangas.
Moreover, Red Mountain Mining Limited announced on September 2, 2015 that a Letter of
Intent (LOI) to farm out a non-core but highly prospective tenement at Batangas has been
signed by Red Mountain’s 100% owned Philippine subsidiary MRL Gold Inc. and Korean private
company JIWON Resource Corp. Under the terms of the LOI, JIWON will fund exploration and
other related activities on the El Paso Exploration Permit 009 (El Paso EP) to earn up to 75%
through expenditure of USD 2 million over a maximum 3-year period. Other Exploration Permits
(EP’s) within the designated Joint Venture Area (JV Area) can be added to the JV. Over 1,430
hectares of Archangel (JV Area) and 1,337 hectares of El Paso fall within the jurisdiction of the
municipality.
As of September 4, 2012, the relationships among various entities are as follows: Red Mountain
Mining Limited (RMX) of Pert, Western Australia owns 100% interest in Red Mountain Mining
Singapore which holds 100% interest in MRL Gold Inc. that owns 100% of the Batangas Gold
Projects. In its Shareholder Presentation document, Red Mountain Mining listed in its portfolio
the Batangas Gold Projects: Archangel (gold) – Kay Tanda; Lobo (gold) – SW Breccia; El Paso,
Calo, Talahib (copper-gold).

2.7 Forest Resources

The following are additional excerpts from the book Rosario of Batangas: Its Origin and
Development with minor modifications:
The mountain area of Rosario covers no less than 30% of the municipality. Of this area of about
7,000 hectares, or less than a third are still forested and these are generally second growth
forest. These forested areas are mostly found in patches of privately-owned lands.
In some old forests, species of hardwood such as Mulawin, Antipolo, Dungon, Ipil, Banaba,
Malarubat, Amugis, Ligasong, Lanite, Anubing, Giho, Bilet and Bayog can still be found. Widely
scattered are species of Ayangaw, Acacia, Amuyong, Dita, Kakawati, Duhat, Malboboy and
species of bamboo. A dominant second growth forest resource for fuel and charcoal are:
Alibangbang, Aroma, Kakawati, Ipil-ipil, Bignay, Balite and Guava.
Wild games such as deer and wild pigs which were hunted in this mountain areas before the
Second World War are no longer around. Only monkeys, wild chicken, and bird species of
Manok-manok, Kalo, Tariktik, Punay, Bato-bato, Tikling and Pugong Gubat can still be found in
the deep forest but may be gone sooner than realized like the others.
The yellow bird, kulyawan, the crow and the king fisher are slowly vanishing. A few of the eagle
specie such as Kwago, Lawin, Limbas and Balinonor still live in these mountains. Fishes
indigenous to the area are slowIy vanishing from mountain streams and river system of the
mountains. All of these are the result of destructive kaingin system of farming and pollution
from commercial piggery farms.

2.8 Climatological Conditions
Type of Climate
The climate of Rosario is characterized by two types based on the Modified Coronas
Classification: Type I in the western side of the municipality, and Type III on the eastern portion.
Type I climate has two pronounced seasons: dry from November to April and wet during the rest
of the year. For Type III climate, on the other hand, seasons are not very pronounced, relatively
dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. The climate in the area is
favorable for vegetable growth. Like the rest of southern Luzon, it is frequently visited by
typhoons.
Figure 29. Climate Map: Rosario, Batangas
There are 29 barangays – including the Poblacion – with Type I climate on the western portion
of the municipality with an area of 8,162.70 hectares or over 36% of the total land area of the
municipality. The remaining 19 barangays comprise about 14,503.98 hectares or 64% of the
total or almost two-thirds of the municipality where Type III climate prevails on the eastern
section.

Prevailing Winds
The prevailing winds at the municipality is assumed to follow that of the Philippines in general,
unless more compelling data is obtained to conclude otherswise. Hence, the prevailing wind
systems in the Philippines (FAO/UNDP Fisheries and Aquaculture Department) are as follows:
1. Northeast (NE) monsoon - from November to February

2. Southwest (SW) monsoon - from July to September
3. Trade winds - winds in the tropics. They generally come from the east. The trade winds
prevail during the rest of the year whenever NE monsoons are weak.
Figure 30. Prevailing Wind System in the Philippines (First Westerners in Manila The Goiti-
Salcedo Trip Appendix: Winds and Typhoons, 2002)
On the other hand, the Local Water Utilities Administration Water Supply Feasibility Study
Report: Rosario Water District published in 1982 discussed the wind and typhoon in the
municipality as follows:
The Municipality of Rosario is flanked by the two synoptic stations of Ambulong, Batangas and
Tayabas, Quezon. From the records of these two stations the southern portion of Batangas
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
122
(where Rosario lies) is subjected to the effects of the northeast monsoon from January to April.
The originally moist air brought about by the northeast monsoon becomes drier after it crosses
the Sierra Madre. This drying of the air is not conducive to further precipitation, thus,
accounting for the predominantly dry weather in southwestern Batangas during this period.
Rainfall in Rosario currently averages at 23.8 mm per month.
From late May (or early June) up to late October (or early November), the situation is reversed.
The southwest monsoon prevails and the moist unstable air coming from the southwest brings
with it considerable rain to the west of the Sierra Madre. At this time Rosario has an average
rainfall of 157 mm per month.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
123
Average Annual Rainfall

Peak precipitation occurs during the month of September with an average value of 232.2 mm,
and its minimum during the month of February, with an average value of 4.4 mm. The average
annual rainfall on the other hand is 1479 mm (D.K.K. Water Consultants, Inc. & C. Lotti &
Associati S.P.A., 1982).
Mean Temperature
The mean annual temperature for Rosario as derived from the three stations of Ambulong, Lipa
City and Batangas City is 26.6oC. Hottest is in April and May with 28.3oC and the coldest occurs in
December with 24.3oC (D.K.K. Water Consultants, Inc. & C. Lotti & Associati S.P.A., 1982).

2.9 Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment and Disaster Risk Projection

Seasonal Temperature Change: The Municipality of Rosario will get warmer, more so in the
relatively warmer summer months.
Mean temperatures in the municipality are expected to rise by 0.9 °C to 1.0 °C in 2020 and by
1.8 °C to 2.2 °C in 2050. Likewise, all seasonal mean temperatures will also have increases in
these time slices. Largest temperature increase is projected during the summer (MAM) season.

Change in 2050 (2036-2065) 26.1 28.7 27.7 27.5
Seasonal Rainfall Change: Generally, there is reduction in rainfall in the Municipality of Rosario
during the summer (MAM) season. However, rainfall increase is likely during the southwest
monsoon (JJA) season until the transition (SON) season in 2020 and 2050. There is however, a
recovery to increasing trend in rainfall during northeast monsoon (DJF) season by 2050. What
the projections clearly indicate are the usually wet seasons becoming wetter with the usually
dry seasons becoming also drier; and these could lead to more occurrences of floods and dry
spells/droughts, respectively.

3 ECOSYSTEM ANALYSIS
3.1 Watershed Delineation

For the subwatershed delineation of the municipality, several approaches were used. First,
original DEM data from ASTER GDEM was processed using SAGA GIS 2.1.2 Terrain Analysis to
generate the watershed basins. ASTER GDEM is the property of METI and NASA. To further
refine the delineation, the rivers and creeks network of the municipality extracted from the
Cadastral Survey CAD-426-D for the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas was overlaid to the
watershed basins generated. Finally, where the watershed divide falls within the barangay, the
barangay shall be construed to be within the subwatershed where the major portion of the
barangay is located. For convenience, where the barangay is not contiguous to its subwatershed
because of political boundary (e.g. municipal boundary), it is assigned to the adjacent
subwatershed within the municipality.
Terrain Analysis using ASTER GDEM data, Cadastral Maps CAD-426-D and NAMRIA Topographic
Maps suggest there are at least four major subwatersheds or sub-river basins in the
municipality. These are: the Malaquing Ilog Subwatershed and the Lawaye River Subwatershed
to the east; the Rosario River Subwatershed to the south; and the Calumpang River

the Calumpang River Subwatershed because major portions of these barangays are within the
said subwatershed.
Barangay Quilib was found to be not contiguous to its indicated subwatershed obtained by
terrain analysis. However, it is assigned to the Calumpang River Subwatershed because at least 3
creeks pass through it that drain to the Calumpang River Subwatershed.
Barangays San Jose, Tiquiwan and Lumbangan were assigned the Malaquing Ilog Subwatershed
because major portions of these barangays are within the said subwatershed.

3.2 Forest Land Use

Forest areas cover a total of 2,628.04 hectares of land. This is about 11.59% of the total land
area of the municipality. These include areas in the municipality identified in the Land
Classification Maps as timberlands and those areas delineated in the Strategic Agricultural and
Fishery Development Zone (SAFDZ) Map as watershed/forestry zone. These can be found in 23
barangays of the municipality. The forestlands/timberlands cover an estimated 735.43 hectares
in barangays San Isidro, Nasi, Matamis and Palacpac, at the eastern and southeastern district of
the municipality which comprise 28% of the total forest areas.
Information about the ratio of actual forest cover to total forestland is not available and is not
being monitored at all at the local level. But tree cover in the said forestland maybe estimated
from the data found in Hansen/UMD/Google/USGS/NASA, accessed through Global Forest
Watch. For dataset details, tree cover in the year 2000, is defined as canopy closure for all
vegetation taller than 5m in height. Encoded as a percentage per output grid cell, in the range
0–100.
Global Forest Watch defines tree cover as refering to the biophysical presence of trees, which
may be part of natural forests or tree plantations. The inclusion of all types of tree plantations in
the “tree cover” definition notably distinguishes the term from some definitions of “forest.”
Accordingly, “tree cover” and “forest” should not be used interchangeably. (Global Forest Watch,
2018). For purposes of estimating tree cover, only those grids cell with greater than 30% tree
canopy were included.
As of 2000, the forestland had 611.51 hectares of tree cover, equivalent to 83.15% of the total
forestland area.
These forest areas serve as a bastion of protection and use that protects and maintain ecological
balance in the municipality. Other forest areas/watershed areas delineated in the SAFDZ
distributed throughout the municipality shall be recognized in this plan. Continuous protection
and conservation activities for these areas will sustain the life-system and development in the
municipality and neighboring towns. Reforestation for denuded portion is a must and
forestation must be encouraged to preserve these mountains for ecological balance in this part
of the municipality.
These forest areas form part of the forestlands of the province on the eastern side as identified
in the Provincial Physical Framework Plan. These are characterized with patches of second
growth forest and thin soil. Though portions are still forested, some areas are used as
settlements and are being cultivated. These forestlands can be classified both as protection and
production forest. Measures geared towards environmental integrity of these forestlands
should be utilizing sustainable development.

3.3 Biodiversity
The biodiversity prevailing decades ago indicates what might still be existing which can be
subject to protection/conservation. The municipal forest areas in the uplands or those areas
with slopes 18% and above were described in the book Rosario of Batangas: Its Origin and
Development and the excerpts with minor modifications were as follows (italics supplied):
The mountain area of Rosario covers no less than 30% of the municipality. Of
this area of about 7,000 hectares, or less than a third are still forested and these
are generally second growth forest. These forested areas are mostly found in
patches of privately-owned lands.
In some old forests, species of hardwood such as Mulawin, Antipolo, Dungon,

Ipil, Banaba, Malarubat, Amugis, Ligasong, Lanite, Anubing, Giho, Bilet and
Bayog can still be found. Widely scattered are species of Ayangaw, Acacia,
Amuyong, Dita, Kakawati, Duhat, Malboboy and species of bamboo. A dominant
second growth forest resource for fuel and charcoal are: Alibangbang, Aroma,
Kakawati, Ipil-ipil, Bignay, Balite and Guava.
Wild games such as deer and wild pigs which were hunted in this mountain
areas before the Second World War are no longer around. Only monkeys, wild
chicken, and bird species of Manok-manok, Kalo, Tariktik, Punay, Bato-bato,
Tikling and Pugong Gubat can still be found in the deep forest but may be gone
sooner than realized like the others.
The yellow bird, kulyawan, the crow and the king fisher are slowly vanishing. A
few of the eagle specie such as Kwago, Lawin, Limbas and Balinonor still live in
these mountains. Fishes indigenous to the area are slowIy vanishing from
mountain streams and river system of the mountains. All of these are the result
of destructive kaingin system of farming and pollution from commercial piggery
farms.
The Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities Final Report has identified 14 biodiversity
conservation areas in CALABARZON. The level of priority ranges from “very high to extremely
high urgent" which means that the variety of life including those endemics to these areas is
threatened with extinction, the RPFP: 2004-2030 explained further.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
143
Figure 47. Terrestrial and Marine Biogeographic Region
Following the regional lead, the Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities were
incorporated in this CLUP: 2016-2030. Indeed, this plan particularly took cognizance of the
policy to protect the Verde Island Passage which is dubbed as, ‘The Center of the Center of
Marine Biodiversity.
Based on the said Philippine Biodiversity Conservation Priorities Final Report, the country’s
updated biogeographic region place Rosario in the Greater Luzon biogeographic region.
Meanwhile, two of the municipality’s subwatershed outlets – the Calumpang River and the
Rosario River– drain to the Verde Island Passage, which is considered under the Visayan Sea
marine biogeographic regions.
Figure 48. Marine Conservation Priority Areas
Key Biodiversity Areas (KBA) were listed for Central and Southern Luzon in the booklet Priority
Sites for Conservation in the Philippines: Key Biodiversity Areas. The Urban Rosario Quadrant

catchment area overlaps with the KBA number 27, which is the Taal Volcano Protected
Landscape.
The Municipality of Rosario, however, form part of Candidate KBA numbers C17 or the Mt.
Malarayat Range with a total land area of 366,586 hectares. Areas that are suspected to be
important, but for which we have no conclusive data to satisfy KBA criteria were designated as
candidate KBAs. These include sites that have habitat suitable for target species, but that have
not yet been surveyed, as well as sites with only historical data for target species.
Figure 49. Key Biodiversity Areas
The Municipality of Rosario and the City of Lipa may investigate the feasibility of establishing a
wildlife corridor linking C17 and KBA 28.
Another consideration, in terms of biodiversity is the Coral Triangle region, which is the
epicenter of marine diversity, and a global priority for conservation. It comprises all or part of six
countries in Southeast Asia and Melanesia: Indonesia, Philippines, Malaysia (Sabah), Timor
Leste, Papua New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Ecoregions are defined as “large areas
containing geographically assemblage of species, natural communities, and environmental
conditions” (Green and Mous 2008 as cited by The Coral Triangle Atlas). Based on this report,
Rosario belongs to the Eastern Philippines Ecoregion.
In Executive Order No. 578 signed by President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo in 2006, it was
mentioned that the Sulu Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion (SSME) is situated at the apex of the coral
triangle, which is recognized as having the highest coral diversity in the world. The same E.O.
No. 578 further elaborated that the Verde Island Passage Marine Corridor, within the SSME,
and inside Philippine Territory covering the provinces of Batangas, Mindoro Occidental, Mindoro
Oriental, Marinduque and Romblon, has been identified by scientists as the Center of the Center
of Marine Shorefish Diversity in the world.
Thus, the Municipality of Rosario maybe considered a stakeholder of the Verde Island Passage
Marine Corridor, in the sense that it is the headwater of Rosario River with outlet in the
Municipality of Lobo at Rosario Point.

Based on 2007, 2010 and 2015 data of the Philippine Statistics Authority, the information
supplied by the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO), the GIS
Map prepared by the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, and the section on
Demography of this CLUP 2016-2030, the housing sub-sector maybe summarized as follows:

higher than the 244 square meters of the previous planning period.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

Table 44. Types of Residential Density (CLUP Guidebook 2014 Volume 2)
Environment within the residential areas is still generally acceptable and habitable.
Cleanliness and sanitation are taken care of by individual owners with supplementary
efforts of the local government. Garbage disposal is generally through recycling and
composting by individual households in the barangays. Some households continue the
practice of burning garbage although in most cases, it is already prohibited. Services and
utilities such as water, power and road networks are provided in residential areas, though
less than 100% coverage. Some remote residential areas get still water from rivers and
creeks; some still use kerosene and oil for lighting; and others travel by walking or on
horseback to the nearest barangay road where they could find the jeepney waiting area
going to the Poblacion and other barangays.
These concerns have been integrated in the priority programs of the municipal
government as reflected in the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and the Annual
Investment Program (AIP).
Some remote residential areas still get water from rivers and creeks; use kerosene for
lighting; and travel by walking or on horseback to the short-distance destination and
other barangays. These are conditions are being continuously improved by the
municipal government.

Structural qualities of residential houses are generally of acceptable quality. Housing

units made of concrete, semi-concrete to wood construction materials constitute up to
72% of the total occupied housing units. Units made of mixed and light construction
materials comprise the remaining portion.

Current and Future Needs
The standard of one dwelling unit or housing unit for each household in an average lot is
the ideal housing situation. Added to this are tenurial status for ownership of their own
house and lot for every household and for availability of infrastructure and utilities for
use by the households. Maintenance of the environmental sanitation, provision of
water and power accessibility and peace and order are requirements for housing and
habitation.
For future needs in terms of housing demand, the Local Shelter Plan was orgamized into
4 planning periods: 2019-2021, 2022-2024, 2025-2027 and 2028-2030. Base data year is
2018 and the latest Censal year is 2015. The average household size of 4.34 is assumed
to be uniform throughout the planning periods.

The number of new housing units needed due to backlog is 2,211. Doubled-up
household was pegged at 3.6% of the total number of households or 1,123 units.
Displaced households were determined to be 1,088, and the plan do not foresee any
issues on homelessness throughout the planning period. Double-up households were
into 7-year program to meet the goal of one dwelling unit or housing unit for each
household in an average lot. Meanwhile, addressing the concerns of the displaced
household will take longer at a 9-year program.

Aligning with the recommendation from CLUP Guidebook 2014 Volume 2, for
uniformity, this plan adopted the UN Shelter Method which was developed by UNDP in
the projection of apparent housing demand or housing need where:
Housing Need = Backlog + New Households
The summary of new units needed (due to backlog and population growth) is presented
in the next table. For the 1st Planning Period, 3,988 units are need; for the 2nd Planning
Period, 4,562 units; for the 3rd Planning Period, 4,669 units; and for the 4th Planning
Period, 4,966 units. For a total of 18,185 units througout the planning period from
2018-2030.

In determining the projected housing needs, it is assumed that previous requirements

have been provided for. Although in actual situations this might not be so. The
households still double up each year as the case of new marriages who continue to stay
with their former families. Nevertheless, this plan is an ambitious plan. Thus, in
computing for residential area requirements, it is assumed that there will be no
doubled-up housing unit by the end of the planning period.
This is in pursuit of Sustainable Development Goal No. 11 of Make cities and human
settlements inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable. Target No. 11.1 states that: By
2030, ensure access for all to adequate, safe and affordable housing and basic services
and upgrade slums.
Furthermore, CLUP Guidebook 2013 Volume 1 recommends including allowances for
flexibility (some percentage in addition to the computed area requirement) and to
conform to availability of appropriate locations and desired density/intensity.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
152
To address the Local Shelter Plan requirements and provide a more flexible residential area
determination, the summary of assumptions for computing the residential area requirements
and residential density is presented as follows:

Total Residential Area Requirement, hectares 729.45
Total Residential Area, Year 2030, hectares 1,644.10

Residential Density, Year 2030, persons per hectare 130
Desired Density/Intensity LOW
By the end of the planning period, additional residential land requirement was estimated
to be 729.45 hectares. This would result to a proposed residential area total of 1,644.10
hectares from the current 914.66 hectares. Residential density would increase slightly
from the current 128 persons per hectare to 130 persons per hectare, thus maintaining
the LOW-DENSITY/INTENSITY residential classification for the municipality.
4.1.2.1 Upgrading Need
Upgrading need is defined as the need for improving land tenure status e.g.; provision of
minimum security of tenure as in a written contract to possessing a title of land; access
to basic services, e.g. dirt road to macadam road; and house condition, e.g. from
semipermanent to permanent structure.
4.1.2.1.1 Tenure Need

Tenurial status, though, is not so much a problem as indicated that 84% of households
own or have owner-like possession of house or owning the house in rent-free lot with
consent of owner.

4.1.2.2 Affordability Analysis

This portion tackles the affordability analysis, land need calculation and affordable
housing options.
4.1.2.2.1 Affordability level and land need calculation

Affordability level and land need calculation require some assumptions on income
groups, job description for income groups, their household monthly income, estimated
households within income group, potential percentage of income for capital costs of
housing, loan terms, affordable housing package options, land requirement per income
group, the output of calculation being the Total Minimum Residential Land
Requirement for each income group.
Presented in the following table are the assumptions used and the calculated Total
Minimum Residential Land Requirement for each income group:

4.2 Health and Sanitation
Health Resources
4.2.1.1 Current Situation

The existing health services and sanitation situation in the locality is acceptable. The Office on
Health Services – Rural Health Units (OHS-RHU) have improved markedly in structure and in
service in the last decade. The health facilities had been constructed and improved through the
support of Senator Ralph G. Recto, Health Enhancement Facility Program, and the local officials.
There are two (2) Rural Health Units – one located at Poblacion B and the other at Barangay
Alupay – with 2 doctors, 1 public health nurse, 12 midwifes, and 4 sanitary inspector. But these
are not sufficient to meet the medical needs of the populace. Despite the gap that exists in
attaining the ideal health personnel to population ratio, the health service delivery is acceptable
and effective.
4.2.1.1.1 Support from National Government

In support of the national health program, National Deployment Program (NDP) had been
deployed every year by the DOH to augment the work force of the RHUs in the delivery of basic
services in barangays. RHU I have covered 25 barangays while RHU II serves as the catchment
area of the remaining 23 barangays of the municipality. There are 34 barangays that have
Barangay Health Station (BHS) while 14 barangays are without BHS, but they can seek basic
health care in the nearest barangay with health station. It should be noted that those barangays
without BHS still receive the same health services usually in the barangay hall and Day Care
Centers.
4.2.1.1.2 Regular Services

The medical staff from RHU I and II has set regular schedule for services such as Expanded
Program on Immunizations, Maternal and Child care, management of simple medical conditions
and other basic health services. Due to insufficient manpower, provision of regular medical staff
to barangay health station is not possible. Hence, daily health services are provided by the
trained barangay health workers such as vital signs taking (blood pressure measurement,
temperature, weighing), and first aid.
4.2.1.1.3 Awards and Accreditations

The LGU had been awarded by Center for Health Development (CHD) and Provincial Health
Office (PHO) in three consecutive years (2011, 2012, and 2013) as the municipality with the
highest cure rate in the Tuberculosis Program with 100,000 populations. In 2008, RHU I was
accredited as Out-Patient Benefit (OPB) provider by the Philhealth Insurance Corporation Inc. In
year 2013, RHU II was granted the same accreditation. In the same year, RHU I certified as Basic
Emergency Maternal Obstetric and Neonatal Care (BeMoNC) facility and Philhealth accredited.
Early 2015, RHU II was certified by the Department of Health (DOH) asTB DOTS Center and
Philhealth awarded on the late half 2015.
4.2.1.1.4 Health Indicators

Health indicators picture a fairly productive population. The crude birth rate for year 2014 is
17.17 per 1000 population and total fertility rate is 131 live births per 1000 female population.
Vital Statistics shown that morbidity indicator in the general medical consultation rate (GMCR)
of 14, 427 are not alarming and falls within tolerable limit. Hospitalization rate is 289 per 1000
population. Deaths among young children 1-4 age group is 2 per 1000 population. There was 1
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
158
recorded maternal death (death among pregnant women till 45 days postpartum) for the last 5
years period. Birth plan and Maternal Neonatal Child Health and Nutrition Program (MNCHN)
have a great factor in improving the condition of pregnant women. They submit themselves in
regular prenatal check-up, vaccination, facility based delivery and post-natal care. Referable
cases like caesarian section and complicated pregnancy referred nearby district Hospital or
hospital of choice of the client for further management. Pre- marriage counselling conducted
regularly to give advice to incoming couples and remind them of being responsible parents.
4.2.1.1.5 Causes of Mortality

The highest-ranking cause of mortality is Acute Myocardial Infarction (AMI) with a rate of 0.97
per 1000 population which may be attributed to lifestyle. This is followed by cerebro-vascular
accident, Cancer all forms and Chronic renal failure. The most common cause of consultation in
all ages remains respiratory tract infection (67.66) per 1000 population followed by disorder of
teeth, systemic viral infection and essential hypertension. All other cases seen are still
manageable in the RHU. Cases that need management in the next higher level of care were
being sent or referred to MVM Sto. Rosario District Hospital or other tertiary hospital.
There are isolated cases of dengue fever for the last five years. Cases were registered in some
hospitals and successfully managed and one death due to dengue was recorded in an adult with
co-morbid condition. Health workers provide proper information disseminations in time that
there might be possible outbreak of sickness. The people in the locality are encouraged to have
clean environment to prevent epidemics setting the motto as “Prevention is better than Cure”.
Several cases of animal bite were seen, managed and referred. There are 2 cases noted of death
in 2012 and 1 in Barangay San Isidro in 2013.
4.2.1.1.6 Causes of Morbidity

With eligible population 13,299 among children 0-71 months old, there are a total of 385
underweight children and 87 severely underweight in 48 barangays of Rosario. In RHU-I,
underweight children is 252 while severely underweight is 55. In RHU-II, underweight children
are 132 while severely underweight children are 32. Micronutrient supplementation such as
Vitamin A and Deworming tablet was likewise provided by the Provincial Government through
the Provincial Health Office in support to the nutrition program. During the last quarter of the
year it was recognized that there is a decrease number of malnourished children based on
follow-up weighing program.
4.2.1.1.7 Medical Facilities

There are 5 secondary hospitals in the municipality. These are: 1 government and 4 private
hospitals, that provide health services in the municipality. All of them provide subspecialty
services for better patient’s management and care. These hospitals are categorized as
secondary level of care hospital with the total bed capacity of 116. There are also 5 medical
clinics, 1 maternity clinic, and 11 dental clinics, 12 pharmacies all of which are registered and
licensed.
4.2.1.1.8 Medical Personnel

The ratio of medical personnel to population is within the ideal level as far as health delivery is
concerned. Although there is a need for additional personnel in the overall accomplishment is
within satisfactory category. Hopefully for the coming years the ratio of physicians, nurses,
midwives, and other health personnel to the population will meet the required proportion. This
is essential for the betterment of health services.

4.2.1.1.9 Rural Health Units

The Rural Health Unit I has a building with an area of 400 square metes erected on the lot of the
Municipal Governmentt of Rosario and can accommodate in the second floor 6 bed capacity but
it does not have other health facilities; while the Rural Health Unit II in Alupay also a 2-storey
building with an area of 420sq m, erected on the lot of Leonardo Dimaculangan, can also
accommodate for lying in or birthing, though the building and facilities is not sufficient. As per
records in the Assessor’s Office the land in RHU II is privately owned, no record of donation to
the government is available.

4.2.1.2.3 Exposure and Vulnerability of Health Facilities to Hazards

The important health facilities are mostly in the Poblacion area and adjacent barangays. The
most recent RHU III facility was constructed in Barangay Calantas to service the hilly land
barangays. The site of the facility is fairly safe from exposure and vulnerability to hazards
despite its elevated location. It is suggested that the access road to the facility should have
adequate flood control system to allow accessibility during times of calamities.

Burial Ground

At present there are seven (7) cemeteries, one (1) public with an area of 5,654 sq.m. the
Municipal Cemetery; and six (6) private with a total area of 96,493 sq.m., are the Coloma
Cemetery now owned by the Provincial Government, Saint Vincent Memorial Cemetery, Dwell
Memorial Park, White Haven, Roman Catholic Cemetery, and Mary Immaculate Memorial
Garden Corp. The public cemetery is congested and there might be risks of burial spilling and
exposure to airborne diseases of residents on adjoining areas in Namuco, Poblacion E and
adjacent secondary school, Saint Joseph Institute.

Cemeteries should comply with the PD 856 Sanitation Code of the Phil and Location Criteria or
Guidelines for Cemeteries described in CLUP Guidebook 2014 Volume 2 of the HLURB.
Expansion or additional space of public or government-operated burial grounds in a non-
residential area possibly in adjoining lot of existing public cemeteries, in Alupay where several
private cemeters are already located, or in any other suitable location is a must for the
municipality. Although there are several private cemeteries in existance, it should be considered
that not all may afford to purchase their own burial plot based on the price range available in
memorial parks. Based on the projected number deaths, number of burial permits issued,
participation rate of burials in the municipality, and the minimum plot size of 1.0 meter by 2.44
meter, the projected area requirement for burial grounds is about 1 hectare by 2020, 2 hectares
by 2025 and over 3 hectares by 2030.

Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities
4.2.3.1.1 Solid Waste Management

Collection of waste according to its classification is religiously implemented in five Poblacion
areas and in Public Market. Residual wastes from institutions and barangay with functional
materials recovery facility are included in the collection of the three (3) local garbage trucks.
This is in compliance with the provisions of Republic Act 9003 Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000. Collected wastes are brought to the Central Material Recovery
Facility about 4 kilometers from the Poblacion. Biodegradables and residual wastes are finally
sorted and processed. The Local Government Unit acquired one shredder, three composters and
screener for conversion of biodegradable waste into bio-soil conditioner. Residual waste are
pulverized in a pulverizing machine and converted to cement crafts. Residual wastes that can be
processed are brought to the private sanitary landfill.
4.2.3.1.1.1 Institutional Arrangements

The MSWM technical working group convened a meeting for the duties and responsibilities of
various agencies in the preparation of the plan and the implementation of the same within the
planning period. A summary of the undertaking for the relevant aspects of the plan is shown in

be establishing 3- chamber composting pit, and shall be seeking the assistance of national
agencies for upgrading this practice.
The waste diversion target set yearly within the planning period shall be realized provided the
activities listed above takes place. The residual waste that has potential for waste diversion as
indicated in the WACS data shall be attainable by acquiring and using the alternative technology.
Additional manpower, maintenance and operating expenses shall be necessary in this
undertaking.
4.2.3.1.1.10 Special Wastes

Based on the result of Updated WACS conducted in 2014, there is an estimated 24.4 kg/day
special wastes generated representing 0.09 % total waste generation for the municipality. Over
20 kg/day of this waste category comes from residential sources; 2.08 kg/day from industries;
and 1.03 from other services; 0.77 kg/day from institutions; and 0.03 kg/day from commercial
sources. At present, there is no available information on the quantity of special waste disposal.
4.2.3.1.1.11 Industrial Wastes

Industrial firms operating in the municipality have specific manner of waste disposal depending
on the nature of their wastes generated. But basically, it is the industrial facility itself that
handles the storage and disposition of the waste it generates. Hazardous wastes (chemical,
biological, and radioactive substances) were disposed of presumably in accordance with
applicable laws, guidelines, rules and regulations of the DENR, DOH and other appropriate
agencies of the government.
4.2.3.1.1.12 Sanitary Toilet Facilities

Campaign for toilet construction in barangays with high percentage of no sanitary toilets is a
successful program since the government gave total support by providing sacks of cement,
bowl, etc. to indigent families. This activity is found to be more effective since construction
materials are being provided.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

4.2.3.1.1.13 Healthcare and Hospital Wastes

Hospitals have explicit manner of disposing their waste depending on its classification in
accordance with the existing law such as the RA 6969 Toxic Substance and Hazardous Waste Act,
and the applicable guidelines, rules and regulations of the DENR, DOH and other appropriate
agencies of the government. They contracted private hauler for the treatment and disposal of
their waste.

4.2.3.1.1.17 Key Issues

The key issues facing the community identified by different stakeholders are as follows:
1. Lack and inactive community participation. Solid Waste management is one of the
activities where community participation is the key to success. A minimum participation
of the community is putting the garbage at the street for collection. However, the
community fails to segregate their waste according to its classification. Bad littering
habits, lack of support and public interest in waste management are also issues facing
the community.
2. Lack of discipline among waste generators. Dumping off solid waste in public places
(public market, parks and plaza, side streets and alleys or lane) and street corners.
3. Inadequate law enforcement to waste management. The Republic Act 9003 was
adopted by a local ordinance however due to inadequate resources, it is not fully
implemented.
4. Inability of the barangay to perform their function due to inadequate resources and
funding. Activation of Barangay Materials Recovery Facility entails a lot of cost for
manpower, equipment and logistics.
5. Insufficient funds for Solid waste management system.
6. Insufficient skill set of SWM personnel, BESWMC, purok leaders and Sangguniang
Barangay members in terms of SWM.
7. Ineffective management system. There is no permanent office for the continuity of
existing environmental programs and projects specifically the solid waste management.
Inadequate provisions of facilities for waste management like the sanitary landfill and
acquisition of alternative technologies. Lack of solid waste management personnel and
lack of monitoring and supervision of all activities associated with waste management.
Inadequate operation and maintenance structure for machinery and equipment. Proper
disposal and handling for special waste.
8. Market for finished product from residual waste. There is low marketability of products
from residual waste.
9. Other factors. These include scarcity of land for waste disposal.
4.2.3.1.2 Wastewater Management

Municipal Sewerage and Septage Management Program, like in many other cities and
municipalities in the country, is non-existent locally. It is envisioned, however, that this kind of
facility would be stablished within the planning period to service the expanded urban areas,
urban growth centers and other settlement areas, albeit on the basis of limited capacity.
Furthermore, existing effluent generators such as food establishments, industrial facilities, and
poultry and piggery farms, among others, shall be required to install wastewater treatment
facilities in-site or through common service facility arrangements.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
194
These initiatives are in support of the National Sewerage and Septage Management Program
(NSSMP). NSSMP is part of the National Sustainable Sanitation Plan (NSSP) and Philippine
Sustainable Sanitation Roadmap (PSSR), which are broader, overarching frameworks that
include the full spectrum of sanitation challenges such as ending open defecation and treating
sewage from markets, agriculture, industry and other point and non-point sources of water
pollutants.
Moreover, Under the Implementing Rules and Regulation of Clean Water Act (CWA), Section 6.
states that “The LGU’s shall prepare and implement contingency plans and other measures
including relocation, whenever necessary, for the protection of health and welfare of the
residents within potentially affected areas”.
According to Section 7 of the Act: “Such program (NSSMP) shall include a priority listing of
sewerage, septage and combined sewerage-septage projects for LGUs based on population
density and growth, degradation of water resources, topography, geology, vegetation,
programs/projects for the rehabilitation of existing facilities and such other factors that the
(DENR) Secretary may deem relevant to the protection of water quality.”
Furthermore, Section 7 of the Act also states that each LGU may raise funds to subsidize
necessary expenses for the operation and maintenance of sewerage treatment or septage
facility servicing in their area of jurisdiction through local property taxes and enforcement of a
service fee system. It may enact ordinances adjusting local property taxes or imposing a service
fee system to meet necessary expenses for the operation and maintenance of sewerage
treatment or septage management facility servicing their area of jurisdiction.

4.2.3.2.1 SWM Disposal Capacity

Based on the existing data, a Category 1 Sanitary Landfill can be established in the municipality.
Category 1 SLF is applied to LGU's with net residual waste generated of less than or equal to 15 tons per
day (TPD).
The existing volume and area projection used the 325 kg/cubic meter density as basis. A 4-meter depth
was used in determining the total volume per year. Within the planning period, approximately a total of
4 hectares land area will be necessary. The land area will be minimized for a SWM disposal capacity
provided there's an increase in waste diversion thus decreasing the waste disposal.
4.2.3.2.2 Categorized Disposal Facilities (Sanitary Landfill) Design

The proposed SLF must meet minimum considerations for sitting and designing sanitary landfills of
Section 1, Rule XIV of the IRR of RA 9003.
Based on WACS result a Category, 1- SLF, can be established and the features will be in accordance with
DAO 10 Series of 2010. In the SLF Operation, it is noted that it is at the bottom of solid waste
management hierarchy, meaning it is being done after other waste minimization strategies such as
waste reduction at source, recycling, composting and other cost recovery methods have been
conducted.
Based on the data available, within the planning period a total of 4 hectares will be necessary in the
establishment of SLF.
The unutilized portion of the previous disposal facility owned and operated by the Municipal
Government will be the proposed site for Sanitary Landfill. It has an approximate area of 1.5 hectares.
This is situated in Brgy. Maalas-as, wherein the Central Materials Recovery Facility is also located. It is
approximately 300 meters away from the residential areas.
The Municipal Government will also be identifying and acquiring a total lot area of approximately of 2.5
hectares for the succeeding years of planning period.
Technical and financial assistance from other local and national government agencies will be solicited
toward the establishment of SLF.
The municipality is also considering residual waste with no potential for diversion with the SLF facilities
outside the Municipality to disposal of residual waste.

4.3.1.6 Enrollment Participation Rate

The present elementary level school-going age population is 16,228. With the current
elementary level enrollment of 16,005 the enrollment participation rate (EPR) is 98.62% of the
total elementary school going age population. This means that for every 100 children aged 6-10
years, 99 are enrolled and the remaining 1 do not go to school primary due to poverty of for
other reasons. This is a good participation rate with only 1.32% not able to enroll with the
existing institution.
For the secondary level the school going age population is 10,386 and enrollment is only 8065.
The enrollment participation rate, then, is only 77.65% of the total secondary level school age
population. The remaining 22.35% are either helping in the farm, or engaged in other income
generating activities or studying outside the municipality. There are still others who are out of
school due to lack of funds.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
224
4.3.1.7 Teacher-Pupil/Student Ratio/Classroom-Pupil/Student Ratios

The 16,005 elementary pupils occupy 493 classrooms with 514 teachers all over the
municipality. Given these figures, the teacher-pupil ratio is one (1) classroom for every thirty
(32) students or 1:32. These ratios are well within the standard of one (1) teacher in one (1)
classroom for every 35 pupils or 1:35. Teachers can easily handle their classes now since pupils
are less and well accommodated by enough classrooms. This contributed to no dropout rate in
school year 2011-2012, with 1.25% drop out rate in school year 2010-2011. This further brings
to a high literacy rate of 96.2 percent estimated in 1999. It can be said that elementary
education in the municipality is very well provided for.

Secondary 8,065 260 1:31 208 1:39
Tertiary 1,752 62 1:28 21 1:83
In the secondary level, the total enrollments of 8,065 are being taken cared of by 260 teachers
and are housed in 208 classrooms. These are total for all secondary level in the municipality.
With these, the teacher – student ratio is 1:31 or 1 teacher for every 31 students. Classroom –
student ratio is 1:39 or 1 classroom for every 39 students. Secondary level enrollment ratios are
within the standard for teacher – student ratio and within the standard for student-classroom
ratio given the DEP-ED Target of 1:40 for 2010.
Tertiary level enrollment is currently 1,752 students. These are those enrolled in the Batangas
State University Rosario Campus, the Teodoro M. Luansing College of Rosario, MKA College
Institute of Technology and ICT-ED.

The current school going age population is 9,851. With the current enrollment of 1,752, 17.78%
are enrolled in the colleges in the municipality, others are enrolled in different schools and
universities outside the municipality or province, however there are no available statistics and
others are out of school youth due to many reasons.

Enrollment Participation Rates must be improved. The current EPR for elementary is quite
acceptable, however, the secondary level EPR needs improvement. A total of 100 percent EPR
at two levels must be targeted within the planning period.
4.3.2.1 Teacher Requirement

In terms of the number of teachers, the current elementary students are provided with more
than enough number of teachers. Based on the standard teacher-student ratio, there are 56
more teachers who can provide elementary education.
The total number of current secondary level teachers is 260. Given the present enrollment in
secondary level there is enough number of teachers who can handle each class.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
226
4.3.2.2 Classroom Requirement

The number of classrooms in the elementary level is enough to accommodate the current
number of enrollees. However, out of 493 classrooms, 310 are in good condition and 41 needs
repair. Of the 493 classrooms listed, 310 or 66.88% are in good condition; 142 classrooms or
28.8% requiring critical priority action 41 or 8.32% needs repair.
With reference to the classroom-student ratio of the secondary level, there are enough
classrooms to accommodate the present enrollees.
Schools and classrooms that need repair or replacement to date must be prioritized and given
attention. These are in Alupay Elementary School, Bayawang, Baybayin, Cahigam, Compradia,
Itlugan, Julian D. Luna, Lumbangan, Mabato, Malaya, Masaya, Mayuro, Pinagsibaan, Puting
Kahoy, Quilib-San Roque, Rosario East Central, Rosario West Central, Salao East and West, San
Carlos, San Ignacio and Tulos.
The Municipal Government should also encourage improvements of classrooms in private

schools.
4.3.2.3 Facility Requirement

In terms of facilities, all schools must have complete facilities. While all schools have comfort
rooms, the other facilities such as laboratories, shops, library, sports and clinic must also be
provided for a well-rounded use and development of the pupils.
Capability, skills and ability of current manpower must always be upgraded and keep attuned
and abreast of current developments in education. These will redound to the development as
well of the pupils and students to make them aware of current trends and happenings especially
in this era of state-of-the-art communication. Computer knowledge must be imparted to
teachers and pupils/students alike to enable them to participate in information technology
activities.
4.3.2.4 Projected Enrollment

Considering the current and projected school going age population and the current and
projected enrollment by level from 2011-2022, enrollment in the elementary and secondary
level exceeds the projected school age population. It is then projected that Rosario will be able
to provide for the educational needs of population of the nearby municipalities and settlement
areas.
At the tertiary level, it can be noted that the tertiary level school age population is quite a
considerable number. These prospective enrollment population can be a positive input for one
of the visions for the municipality which is that of having a university or a higher institution of
learning in their midst. This population can serve as a starting point for a feasibility study for a
University in Rosario. The projected enrollment however is based on the present enrollment in
the Batangas State University Rosario Campus, the Teodoro M. Luansing College of Rosario,
MKA College Institute of Technology and ICT-ED.

projected enrollment, 2011 – 2022.

4.3.2.5 Teacher and Classroom Requirements
4.3.2.5.1 Elementary
In terms of future requirements, considering the projected enrollment in all levels, it is at the
elementary level where there is no noted future need for additional teachers and classrooms.
The current number can suffice even up to the end of the planning period. Continuous
upgrading of the quality of the human resources as well as the physical ones must always be
prioritized. These include training of teachers with new and more advance techniques and
methods of teaching.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
228
On the physical resources, continuous maintenance and improvement of school buildings and
classrooms must also be considered. Repair and replacement of buildings and classroom that
currently need repair/replacement must be done at once. Facilities must be completely
provided for in all schools. These facilities still must be available and usable until 2022.
4.3.2.5.2 Secondary
The secondary level, however, has to be given more attention. The current classroom-student
ratio of 1:39 is within the standard, given the DEP-ED target 1:40, student teacher-student
classroom. Considering the projected enrollment, there has to be a total of 383 classrooms to
accommodate the would-be students by year 2022. This means an additional of 177 more
classrooms, from the existing 206. The additional requirement of classroom required,
considering the ten-year planning period is shown in the next table.
In terms of teachers, the current ratio is good only until 2015. By year 2016, there should be a
total of 272 teachers in the secondary level. This means an additional of twelve teachers by said
year. By the end of the planning period at 2022, the total number of teachers should be 383,
thus a total additional of 123 teachers. The following table shows teachers and classroom
requirements within the planning period 2011-2022.

4.3.2.6.2 University
The vision for a university in Rosario is also being considered. The projected enrollment at this
point is minimal since there is only one tertiary level institution in the municipality. The tertiary
level school going age population can be considered. A feasibility study on the matter can be
undertaken. For such a purpose the municipality shall allocate about 5 hectares of land as
university site at Poblacion A barangay. This is one of the development proposals to be
enumerated in the plan.
38.40 hectares total
With the present areas occupied by elementary schools at 32.23 hectares and following the
standard space requirement for elementary schools comprising an area of 28 hectares, for
secondary school at 20.4609 (including the requirement of 8.85 hectares) and proposed area for
a university, the total area to be devoted to schools at all levels will be 85.69 hectares by year
2020.

4.4 Protective Services
Current Situation
The Philippine National Police (PNP) Rosario Municipal Police Station (RMPS) with headquarters
located within the Municipal Hall Complex at Y. Zuño Street, Barangay Poblacion B, Rosario,
Batangas is providing protective services. It is manned by 61 personnel consisting of 2 PCOs, 55
PNCOs and 4 NUPs. The Police Station Building occupies an area of about 280 square meters
donated by the Municipal Government.
The Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) Rosario Fire Station headquarters is at Y. Zuño Street,
Barangay Poblacion E with a total land area of 1,022 square meters. It has a total manpower 14
Fire Officers consisting of the Municipal Fire Marshall, 1 FO3, 5 FO2s and 7 FO1s.
The Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) do not have personnel nor facilities in the
municipality. Instead, the PNP-RMPS has what it calls a temporary lock-up cell with an area of 25
square meters. This facility can hold 10 persons but is typically occupied by about 12-20 inmates
at any given time.
With the 2015 population of 125,963, the policeman to population ratio is 1:2065. Said ratio did
not meet the Minimum Standard Police-to- Population ratio of 1 policeman for every 1,000
persons.
On the other hand, the Fireman-to-Population Ratio is 1:8,997 which also did not meet the ideal
ratio of 1:2000 population. Since the Rosario Fire Station has only one fire truck issued by the
DILG, it fell short of the ideal number of 5 fire trucks appropriate for the population of the
municipality. However, the current resources fortunately meet ideal Fire Truck to Fireman Ratio
of 1:14.
Assuming an inmate population of 0.04% of the total population, then the year 2015 would have
had an average of 50 inmates which would have required a Type B Jail Facility for 21-99 jail
population located ideally in a 5000-square-meter lot area based on Napolcom Resolution No.
9236. This would be classified as a Municipal Jail based on estimated inmate population.
Rosario RMPS is being assisted in their peace and order keeping job by the 57 personnel of the
733rd Combat Squadron of the Philippine Air Force; the 27-member 3rd Platoon 7th Batangas CAA
Company; and the 16 elements of the 4th Maneuver Platoon PPSC.
As of December 2015, there are a total of 609 Barangay Tanods in the municipality, and at least
24 women of them are women. This translates to an average of over 12 Barangay Tanods for
each of the 48 barangays of the municipality. Similarly, there is 1 Barangay Tanod for every 207
population of the municipality.
Crime incidence table shows that for the past three years from 2013 to 2015, physical injury is
the most indexed crime and 2015 is the year with the most crime indexed. There are a total of
221 non-index crimes reported for the past three years. The following table shows the crime
statistics in the municipality.
Fire incidence table shows that for the preceeding year, the municipality experienced a total of 9
fire incidents responded by the Rosario Fire Station in 7 barangays as far as Alupay.

Considering the standard ratios of policemen and firemen to population, there are still current
needs for said personnel. The present force in terms of policemen is short of 65 policemen, 49
firemen and 2 jail guards. For the requirement within the planning period, it is projected that
the municipality will need a total of 215 policemen, 108 firemen, 8 fire trucks and 13 jail guards
by year 2030.
Improvements in terms of office area and equipment are also necessary. Upgrading of skills in
terms of training of existing force is also needed. Priorities along these lines are recommended.
To achieve the goals of Gender And Development (GAD), jail facilities for women and detention
home for minors shall be established.

4.5 Sports and Recreation
Current Stituation
The promotion of sports and recreation is also the primary concern of the Local Government
Unit of Rosario. It is through this sector that the citizenry particularly the youth can spend their
leisure hours in wholesome and healthful activities in the community.
Within the municipality there are different types of existing recreational facilities. There are 49
basketball courts of which 33 are public and 16 are private; 3 volleyball courts and 3private
tennis courts. Other facilities available are 33 swimming pools, 3 billiard halls, 2 cockpit arenas,
Racing Circuit, track and field, Municipal Park and playground and a municipal library.
The Office of the Municipal Mayor has been actively organizing either basketball or volleyball
tournaments in the barangays. The Office of the Municipal Mayor has been organizing inter-
barangay basketball tournaments that greatly encouraged the participation of most barangay
constituents. The Municipal Women’s Coordinating Council is also taking part in encouraging
sports activities for women by sponsoring inter-barangay volleyball tournament. Other activities
include sack and ball relay, tug of war and obstacle race.
The Batangas Racing Circuit located in Barangay Maligaya provides alternative venue to sports
enthusiasts by featuring car racing and motocross. It served as one distinguishing feature of the
municipality being attended by people from neighboring municipalities and participated in by
racers from Metro Manila including famous movie actors and actresses.

The population of Rosario is not wanting in terms of sports and recreation facilities. The most
common of these are the basketball courts. The courts, however, can be multi-purpose and can
be used for different activities other than basketball. Thus, the court can be reception halls,
seminar venue, and other sports competition venue.
Continuous maintenance of the facilities can be programmed within the planning period. The
present condition of these facilities if they are properly maintained can still be serviceable and
operation even after ten years.
Figure 64. Future Indoor Sports Athletic Facilities of Rosario: 2030
There must be created a Municipal Sports, Recreation, Arts and Culture Unit (MSRACU) under
the Office of the Mayor to prepare a holistic sports, recreation, arts and culture program for life.
This is aimed at institutionalizing sports and recreation, as well as arts and culture management
in the municipality. This will give sports, recreation, arts and culturre sector a permanent place
in the governance of the municipality.

Based on the standard for Municipal park of 500 square meters per 1000 population, the
municipality needs to acquire at least 10.7 hectares of land for this purpose by the end of the
planning period. Clearly, the existing Laurel Park, after deducting the encroachment of the
Municipal and Regional Trial Courts, the Prosecutors Office and the Municipal Libray, the
effective area for recreational purposes at 5,700 square meter is clearly below standard.

Although there is a need for a holistic approach to industrial development that will shift the
focus on the less polluting agri-industrialization, the industrial sector need not be neglected
for its growth potential. Low level assumptions, however, was used since as just stated the
municipality is geared more on agri-industrialization.
The present number and type of industrial activities although at standstill must be
continuously monitored for environmental impacts. Use of local materials or inputs must be
considered in these establishments when possible. The labor force of the municipality must
be priority in terms of employment based on capability and qualification to the job.
For future requirements on industrial expansion areas need to be allocated and identified to
meet future requirements. Type and classification of industries based on capitalization,
employment and degree of hazard/pollution must be considered. Industries classified as
large in terms of capital and employment should be encouraged. In terms of degree of
environmental hazard and pollution only light to medium intensity industries shall be
allowed.
Considering the Industrial Land Intensity Standards (Source: Sectoral Planning Guidelines for
Industry, 5th Edition, HLURB), the standard area for light intensity is 8 square meters per
person; for medium intensity, 25 square meters per person; and for heavy intensity, 40
square meters per person. Using a below-standard assumption of 21 square meters per
person for gross industrial area requirement, and then distributing this to various industrial
land intensity, the industrial area requirement for the western and northeastern districts of
the municipality over the next 15 years is shown in the succeeding table:

An additional 318.68 hectares of industrial areas need to be added to the current inventory
of 122.16 hectares in the West and Northeast District of the Municipality. No
industrialization are planned for the Eastern and Southeastern Districts.
Requirement for an industrial project to undergo the Environment Impact Assessment Study
and to secure Environment Compliance Certificate must always be enforced before
construction/operation.
Anti-pollution devices and/or treatment ponds must be required from industrial firms to
abet pollution and degradation of the immediate environment adjacent to industries.

5.2 Commerce and Trade
Current Situation
Commercial activities occupy 96.65 hectares of land. This is about 6.18% of the total
built-up and only 0.43% of the total land area. The major commercial activities are
concentrated in the West District with about 87.73 hectares. With the Poblacion
barangays as the Central Business District, commercial areas in the CBD constitute about
11% of the total commercial areas. Clearly, with the expansion of the urban areas,
commercial activities sprawled beyond the confines of the Poblacion. The Public Market
as the hub of commercial activities is also in the Poblacion. The remaining 89% of
commercial areas are distributed to the different rural barangays, expansion urban
barangays and cluster settlement areas of the municipality.
The types of commercial areas, types or classification of business and trade and other
commercial support facilities established in Rosario, Batangas show the level of
commercial development in the municipality. These also indicate the feasibility
opportunities and incentive in the municipality for further commercial development.
The following table shows the historical data on commercial areas from year 2006 up to
2015.

5.2.1.1 Central Business District

The concentration of commercial establishments in the municipality is very much
evident in the Poblacion and adjacent barangays surrounding the Poblacion. These
commercial areas are in Poblacion A, B, C, D, E and San Roque, Bagong Pook, Namuco
and Namunga. Outside of the Batangas Racing Circuit in Barangay Maligaya, the largest
concentration of commercial establishment or commercial areas is at Poblacion E with
the Public Market as the nucleus of the activity. The commercial area is classified as a
Minor Central Business District with the characteristic wet and dry market. Rosario is
considered a large town of the province, and its Minor CBD is a shopping and service
area with the Municipal Public Market as main feature. The Public Market is
complemented by shops, and offices as well recreational and transportation facilities.
Being a catchment area of the surrounding municipalities of Taysan, Ibaan, Padre Garcia,
San Juan and others, this MCBD catches not only the municipality's own population but
the population from other municipalities living adjacent to it. Migrant population drawn
to the municipality by employment, recreation and tourism potentials of the
municipality are also being served by this MCBD.
The Minor Central Business District covers the Public Market within the block bounded
by H. Mindanao Street on the north; V. Rodelas St. on the south; J.B Zuno St. on the
West and J. Belen St. on the east. The areas around the Public Market though taking the
form of commercial strip also form part of the Minor Central Business District (MCBD.
Except for the public market, these areas within the MCBD are noticeably quasi
residential-commercial or mixed-use development in strip fashion around the public
market. Types of commercial activities are generally of retail trade, services and light
industrial activities such as welding shops and rice mills. There are also informal jeepney
and tricycle terminals within the MCBD, which cater to the public going to other
barangays of the municipality as well as to those of adjacent municipalities.
5.2.1.2 Commercial Strips

Commercial strips along major roads traversing the municipality are burgeoning about 2
kilometers radial distance from the MCBD. These can be considered extension of the
MCBD since it is still within the influence areas of the Public Market and still urban or
ubanizing. These developments are prevalent along the National Roads (Batangas-
Quezon Road and the Rosario-Sn Juan Road) and the provincial road going to Taysan:

5.2.1.3 Commercial Establishments

The major types of commercial establishments according to their economic activities are
those establishments engage in wholesale and trade, banking and finance, real
estate/construction services and other services. The following shows the inventory of
commercial establishments by economic activities.

TOTAL 495 2,193 2,373
Considering the above table, there has been a significant increase in the number of
commercial establishments securing business permits over the last 16 years. The figure
shows a growth increase of almost 435% in wholesale and retail trade. That in the real
estate and construction performed even better at 845% increase over the same period.
Banking and finance see their number increase from 30 to 78 or more than double in
the last 16 yerars. The rest of the other establishements combined increased by a
decent 31% over the last 4 years.
Wholesale and retail trade and services are the most common type of commercial
establishments in the municipality while services such as education, health, community
and social activities complement the progressive trend of businesses in the urban areas.
The increasing trend in commercial establishments over the years must be maintained
and sustained until the end of the planning period.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
281

Current commercial activities in terms of commercial areas specifically, the existing
Minor Central Business District must be compact and concentrated, that residential use
will be eventually phased out such that the contiguous areas will all be for commercial
use, although mixed uses is encouraged. Provision of walkways inside the market for
pedestrian traffic is necessary for accessibility of commercial establishment and
mobility of shoppers. Flow of vehicular traffic on roads abutting the MCBD must be
systemized to facilitate travel of shoppers and storeowners.
Likewise, setbacks, parking space and pedestrian lanes should be provided in

commercial strip. Commercial establishments in these areas need spaces for shoppers
and the natural flow must not be obstructed. Setbacks from roads of any commercial
establishment in commercial strips must be enforced in the permit system and complied
with by entrepreneurs. These commercial strips also aggravate vehicular traffic. Areas
should be provided for parking spaces to keep customers outside of the carriageway of
roads abutting the establishment
Expansion of commercial areas in the Poblacion barangays as well as in the other urban
growth centers is a need within the planning period. The growing population, increasing
economic activities and proposed developments will warrant a corresponding spatial
requirement. Additional areas need to be allocated for commercial purposes within the
planning period.
In terms of types of commercial establishment, prospects for services specifically for

business and recreational nature should be considered. Again, increased economic
activity in terms of agriculture and industry will need corresponding technical, clerical,
legal and documentation consultancy and assistance services to facilitate things.
Likewise, for recreational activities entrepreneurs and traders may well consider this
establishment in support of existing high-end recreational activities that may induce
local economy to further growth.
The presence of banking and financing institution will help a lot in these undertaking.
Their presence provides some possible financing schemes that investors and
entrepreneurs can take advantage of. Maintaining these establishments in the
municipality must always be considered.
Commercial activities in the barangays outside of the Poblacion must also be given
impetus. The feasibility of commercial activities per municipal district and the allocation
of commercial areas in the urban growth barangays are necessary. The commercial
areas must be accessible to all barangays under the municipal district. Exchange of good
and services then on a district level will complement commercial activities in the urban
core.
The recommended planning (Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, 2014) standard
for projection of area requirement is 1.5% to 3% of the total built-up area. Considering
significant trend of the rapidly increasing number of commercial establishments in the
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
282
municipality, the presence of at almost 23 kilometers of frontage courtesy of the

national road transit route and the network of provincial roads, the intensified
commercialization/trading center or urbanization shall be pursued. The LGU shall
intensify the commercial base and strengthens its role within the province in terms of
trade centers, financial and support service centers, and possibly business
process/outsourcing center.
Since the municipality is in transition, from being a largely agricultural municipality to

becoming a significant commercial and trading center in this part of the province, and
from a very low base, the commercial areas starting should be increased by a factor of
10 to level up to between 4% to 5% of the total land area. Hence, an additional
commercial area of 867.64 hectares is needed to increase the share of commercial
areas to up to 4.25% or 964.28 hectares of the total land area.
This would also support the projected increases in the customer base of the power
utility BATELEC and the water utility PrimeWater of increase, particularly the
commercial sector.
The commercial areas will be concentrated along the transit corridors connecting the
strategic locations where urban growth may be anticipated or developed. This strategy
would propel the share of commercial areas from the current 6% of built-up areas up to
a high of 27% over the next 15 years and hopefully creating a broad and strong
foundation to cityhood aspirations.

5.3 Agriculture
Current Situation
5.3.1.1 Agricultural Production

Rosario is primarily an agricultural town with 10,009.55 hectares planted to annual and
perennial crops or 54.88% of the 18,239.94 hectares total agricultural land area. These major
crops include rice, corn, coconut, mango, banana and other fruits and vegetables.
5.3.1.1.1 Crop Production

Rice, the major agricultural crop, occupies an area of 2,156.97 hectares, about 21.55% of total
area planted with major agricultural crops. The total irrigated rice area of 863.95 hectares
comprise 40.05% of the total rice area, while the total non-irrigated rice area of 1,293.02
hectares represents 59.95% of the remaining rice area. The rest of the agricultural area devoted
to crops is planted to either fruits or vegetables. The area devoted to agricultural crop
production is shown on the following table:

5.3.1.1.2 Other Agricultural Products

Rosario is also noted for its agricultural products like “sinukmani”, "kalamay" and "panutsa"
being sold at the municipal public market, sari-sari stores and other neighboring municipalities,
as well as in some parts of Metro Manila. These are also favorite pasalubong for balikbayans and
other tourists and guests.
Being supervised by the Office for Agricultural Services in coordination with the UPLB Philippine
Carabao Center is the production of dairy products from carabao’s milk like pastillas, kesong
puti, milk-o-gel, yoghurt, fresh milk, chocomilk and mozarella produced by the Rosario Dairy
Raisers Association.
Through the assistance of the Department of Science and Technology and Batangas State
University, guava wine and mango wine are being produced by two cooperatives in Barangay
Pinangsibaan and San Isidro.
The Putingkahoy Multi-Purpose Cooperative assisted by the Department of Labor and

Employment produces processed meat products like tocino, tapa, longganisa and ham, among
other products.
5.3.1.1.3 Crop Production and Food Requirements

Crop production in terms of rice and other agricultural crops pose some challenges on food
security requirements. For the year 2015 the requirement is 12,986.12 metric tons at 103.095
metric tons per capita consumption.

Since there are 2 cropping seasons per year in irrigated rice areas, while just single cropping
season for non-irrigated rice areas, net palay production for the year 2015 is 11,480.13 metric
tons. If milling recovery is 65%, the said net palay production will yield 7,462.08 metric tons of
rice milling recovery. This results to a rice deficit of 5,524.03 metric tons which increases to
17,826.75 metric tons by 2030. This already assumes an increase of productivity of 5% annually
for irrigated rice areas and 3% annually for non-irrigated rice asreas. Conversion of 400 square
meters per hectare for residential and other purposes was also factored in the computation of
rice self-sufficiency, which in 2015 stood at 52% sufficiency level.

There is a total of 2,253 carabaos in 2011 and 1,738 in 2015, of which some are crossbred and
Italian dairy buffalos that are found in Barangays Mavalor, Bulihan, San Jose, Maalas-as,
Tiquiwan and Salao. These are the barangays where Carabao-Based Enterprise Development
(CBED) is being implemented. Dairy farming is new in the municipality. There are 143 dairy
carabaos supplying carabao’s milk to Rosario Dairy Raisers Association (RODRA). RODRA is an
association of farmers who are owners of carabaos and are willing to engage in dairy farming. It
is duly registered farmers’ association at the Department of Labor and Employment. RODRA
processes the carabao’s milk into pastillas, kesong puti, mozzarella cheese, milk-o-gel, fresh milk

and choco milk, among other products. Hand milking technique is commonly used to collect
milk from the dairy animals, but in recently, the TechnoMart Project of the DOST- PCAARRD 1
To promote upgrading of native carabao in the municipality and to produce more crossbred
buffaloes, estrus synchronization and artificial insemination is regularly done in the different
barangays. The Local Government Unit is also distributing crossbred buffaloes as part of its
Livestock Dispersal Program in support to CBED.
Majority of the households engage in backyard-scale agri-business like swine fattening, swine
breeding, cattle production, and duck and poultry production. There are also commercial
livestock and poultry farms present in Rosario that comprise a total of 446.9524 hectares.
Products are marketed to the local market, nearby cities of Lipa, Tanauan and Batangas,
municipalities of San Juan, Ibaan and Padre Garcia Auction Market and nearby provinces. There
are also livestock haulers and traders that are sourcing their stocks from Rosario and bring them
to Metro Manila and some municipalities of Laguna and Cavite. The inventory of livestock farms
are as follows:

Increase in the current level of production in terms of agricultural crops is the major concern at
the start of the planning period. Provision of agricultural machineries, irrigation facilities, post-
harvest facilities and agricultural inputs, like seeds and fertilizers and technology transfer will
increase production levels. Socially, agricultural activities have been rewarding among farmers,
landowners and farm workers.
5.3.2.1 Crop production area and Crop production

Survey of rice area and other crop production areas using GPS gave a relatively accurate data on
existing rice lands as basis for future projects and intervention to increase its production.
Popularly known as the “Rice Granary of Batangas”, intervention must be made to increase the
rice production level. Irrigation facilities must be established in non-irrigated areas and spring
irrigation will be developed in upland areas. High yielding varieties of rice and vegetables will be
used. Establishment of Greenhouses and Drip Irrigation Facilities are new technologies that can
help increase production of our farmers planting high value commercial crops. Other programs
and projects that will help our farmers are: Plant now Pay later Project, Food Always In the
Home (FAITH), Certified Seeds (CS) Discounting Scheme, distribution of fertilizer to rice farmers,
demonstration farms and Farmers’ Field School.
Traditional rice varieties that are in-demand to local residents are still being planted by some
rice farmers. Preservation and production of the said traditional rice varieties must be
supported by the Local Government Unit of Rosario. If further popularized, rice farmers can
command higher prices for the traditional rice varieties, thus, increasing their income.
Furthermore, demonstration areas will be developed showcasing traditional practices of farmers
in planting rice, as well as a trading post where tourists can buy rice.
5.3.2.2 Organic Agriculture

The Local Government, thru the Office for Agricultural Services, will be campaigning actively for
the adaption of organic agricultural practices. Demonstration areas and pilot projects on
Organic Agriculture will be established. Technical Trainings, seminars, provisions of production
inputs and Lakbay Aral will help in encouraging farmers to practice organic agriculture.
5.3.2.3 Farm Mechanization

To assist more farmers in land preparation and post-harvest activities, additional 4-wheel
tractors, reapers/harvesters, threshers and hand tractors must be purchased by the LGU in
cooperation with the Department of Agriculture.
Livestock and poultry production must also be modernized and updated so as to meet the
requirements for mass production and agro-industrialization. Areas to be devoted to piggery
and poultry farming must be identified. Minimum requirements for the establishment of
additional livestock and poultry farms must be established giving priority to facilities for proper
waste disposal.
5.3.2.4 Waste Management

The local ordinance requiring piggery farms to establish a biogas unit for the management of
their wastes shall be proactively enforced. A focal person in the Local Government Unit must be
identified to assist farm owners in establishing their biogas units in cooperation with the
Department of Science and Technology or other concerned agencies. Other waste mitigating
measures like composting, use of effective microorganisms and natural farming will be
promoted to livestock and poultry raisers through meetings, seminars and Lakbay Aral.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
307
5.3.2.5 Animal Transport Disinfection and Checkpoint Areas

Animal transport disinfection and checkpoint areas can be established in Barangay San Ignacio,
Quilib, Maalas-as, San Carlos and Putingkahoy. This activity will prevent entry of diseased
and/or dead animals that can be marketed to our constituents. Also, spread of livestock and
poultry diseases can be prevented.
Establishment of more livestock and poultry projects must strictly adhere to the rules issued by
the Housing and Land use Regulatory Board for this purpose. There are additional pig farms and
poultry farms being constructed each year.
The increasing animal population within and outside the municipality will demand additional
abbatoirs, dressing and meat processing plants. Establishment of an accredited slaughterhouse
and processing plants for meat products and by-products should be considered for more
detailed strategic planning.
5.3.2.6 Dog Pound

Establishment of Dog Pound will support the LGU’s campaign against Rabies. As indicated in a
Provincial Rabies Ordinance No.003, Series 2012, a Dog Pound must be established in every First
Class Municipality like Rosario. A service vehicle will be designated for the sole purpose of
catching stray dogs. Dog handlers and other concerned personnel will be given proper
immunization against rabies.
5.3.2.7 Agri-Industrialization Strategies

Further, with the increase in production of agricultural crops, the end-in-view of processing
surplus production will be an input to agri-industrialization.
Raising the level of agricultural development into processing and manufacturing of by-products
will make agriculture more economically viable and lucrative.
Targeting for globally competitive agricultural activities will be more responsive to the needs of
the growing population within the planning period and beyond.
Continuous research, experimentation, promotion and environmental impact consideration

must be prioritized to achieve this aim. Sustainability of agricultural activity must always be
achieved.
Conversion of agricultural lands should conform to the legal requirements for reclassification
limit set forth in the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law (CARL) and the Local Government
Code of 1991 as well as its implementing guidelines specially Administrative Order 20 and
Memorandum Circular 54 or reclassification and conversion. Rosario is a 1st Class LGU and thus
is entitled to 10 percent of its total agricultural area for reclassification in accordance with the
Local Government Code. But such legal provisions should not be exploited as valid justification
for indiscriminate conversion of farmlands for greater economic benefits today, without
carefully considering its impact on future generations. Conversion of agricultural lands should
be scrutinized and carefully done to maintain agricultural production levels. Riceland,
specifically irrigated lands should not be converted to other uses. In other words, irrigated and
potentially irrigable lands should be spared from conversion. Other croplands maybe considered
for conversion with due consideration of its production capacity.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
308
Agri-industrialization being espoused here partakes of light to medium industries, which are
agri-based. These are industries that process and make use of agricultural products as inputs.
These types of industries can locate in agricultural areas.
Marketing and export of these agricultural and agri-industrial products must also be considered.
Promotions and trade fairs, agricultural exhibits must be made to ensure markets. Incentives to
traders and entrepreneurs may also be considered. Thus a holistic approach to agriculture
production, processing and marketing must be established within the planning period and
beyond.
In the implementation of Carabao-Based Enterprise Development (CBED), purebred and

crossbred buffaloes will be distributed to farmers. Milk production must be increased by
encouraging more farmers to venture into dairy farming. Collaborative efforts between LGU-
Rosario, PCC-UPLB and farmers association must pursue an improvement in the dairy industry
within the municipality. Technology transfer on the use of milking machine, milk replacer and
feed concentrates will help improve the status of dairy activities in the municipality.
Dairy buffaloes will be distributed to farmers to increase milk production. Portable milking
machines will be established in different cluster areas that will be identified by the Office for
Agricultural Services. To support the developing dairy industry, a Dairy Processing Plant must be
established in cooperation with the Philippine Carabao Center and Rosario Dairy Raisers
Association (RODRA). The dairy enterprise in Barangay Mavalor is the first of its kind in the
Province of Batangas, thus, a potential tourist attraction especially to different LGUs within
Batangas Province.
Agricultural support facilities such as technical support and financial support should be made
available to farmers, landowners and farm workers to enhance the proposed agricultural
development.

* Production forests refer to all forest lands not classified as protection

forests. These forests are devoted mainly for the production of forest
products (both timber and non-timber) and other services.
5.4.1.1 Users of Forest and Foresland (FFL) Assets or Stakeholders

Area covered by Forest Land, and Alienable and Disposable Land including Tenurial
Instruments and other land use within the areas covered by Forest Lands such as
National Greening Program (NGP) and Community-Based Forest Management (CBFM)
were considered. The Tenurial instrument within the Forest Lands includes the
Community Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA) with 68.4345 hectares
awarded to Mountview Upland Farmers Association Inc. (MUFAI). Other existing land
use includes the approximately 525-hectare reforestation project under the National
Greening Program.
5.4.1.2 Status of FFL Assets and Their Uses

For the habitation or territorial characterization, assets in the FFL are commonly
rivers, rice fields, springs, falls, forest and reforestation areas whereas some areas have
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
311
caves and grasslands. The areas within FFL and adjacent to it still have the habitats for
utilization, conservation and protection for the benefit of future generations.
Majority of the natural resources found inside the forest are the rivers, some of which
which are also utilized for irrigating for rice fields. Local animals are easily named such
as Tariktik, Kuwago, Bato-bato, Labuyo, Tuko, Cobra, Hipon, Alimus, Lawin, Unggoy,
Paniki, Bayawak, Tambuko, Tuko, and Sawa. On the other hand, forest trees like Narra,
Molawin, Ayangao, Acacia, Guijo, Amugis, Balayong, Artus, Lanete, Kamagong, Dao,
Malabunga, Calantas, and Dalingdingan are on the list.
5.4.1.3 Existing Development Projects

Existing land use in the areas with forestlands are rice fields, vegetable and fruit farms,
coconut plantation, and in some areas are sugar cane plantations. Likewise, to be found
are permanent structures such as barangay hall, school, basketball court, residential and
recreational areas, and livestock farm.
5.4.1.4 Recent Trends

The FFL of the province on the eastern side are characterized with patches of second
growth forest and thin soil. Though portions are still forested, some areas are used as
settlements and are being cultivated. These forestlands can be classified both as
protection and production forest. Measures geared towards environmental integrity of
these forestlands should be utilizing for sustainable development. Consequently, there
are arising issues when it comes to land use conflicts and confusion as well as other
priority covenants.
5.4.1.5 Institutional Gaps

Communities within and adject to the FFL have insufficient knowledge on issues
confronting them in relation to the FFL ecosystem. Felt needs are reforestation
activities, IEC campaigns, capacitating local officials, roads and bridges infrstructure
improvement, including rip rapping.
5.4.1.6 Gender and Development

In terms of volunteer activities in the barangay, both men and women are likely to
participate. There are not many problems pertaining to gender but insufficient capital
and lack of project implementation which will have direct impact on the cooperative
and fairness between men and women should be looked into.

The municipality is the location of the headwaters of several rivers and creeks draining
to the four subwaterdsheds within its jurisction. The Rosario River (now identified in
recent maps as Rosario-Lobo River), Nasi River, Lawaye River and Tombol River are
examples. Hence, riparian conservation and terrestrial landscape proctection are
imperatives to the sustainability of downstream ecosystem services as well as the local
groundwater resours.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
312
The identified forest areas in the SAFDZ and the timberland areas delineated in the land
Classification map are to be planted to native trees as much as practicable.
5.4.2.1 Forest Land Use Plan

As of 2000, the forestland had 611.51 hectares of tree cover, equivalent to 83.15% of the total
forestland area.
For allocation and zoning, FFL will be divided into three zones: Protection Zone,
Production Zone, and Overlay Zone or Ecotourism Zone. Currently, FFL of Rosario is an
open access area. It one of the objectives of FLUP to close the open access areas with
limitations in consumption and management. Above 200 meters above sea level (masl)
will be the Protection Area since that is highly susceptible to landslides and other
hazards while below the 200 mamsl will be the Production Zone where all other areas
outside the Protection Zone belong. But there will also be an Overlay Zone that shall be
called Biodiversity Belt where lies the area for Ecotourism and shall be delineated along
the 150-200 mamsl.
Allocating the forestlands/timberland into 4 land uses using elevation as the basis under the
plan is for simplicity of delineation and for ease of monitoring and evaluation. These land uses
are: the protection area (69%), the biodiversity belt (15%), the rivers and creeks (2%) and the
sustainable forest production area (14%).

5.5.1.5 Ecoutourism
This section on ecotourism is an adaptation of the submission to the Municipal Planning and
Development Coordinator by the group of thesis students represented by Ms. Loretta Magadia
Suarez. Integration in this CLUP of such contribution by the younger generation is a recognition
of the value of their participation in local development planning.
Ecotourism refers to “natural environment exploration, most often in protected areas, and
cultural interactions.” Such an activity is expected to “generate low volume but high-valued
experience by responsible tourists, under controlled measures, for seeking awareness,
education, and a life enhancing experience.”
5.5.1.5.1 Tourism is an act and process

Tourism is the act and process of spending time away from home in pursuit of recreation,
relaxation, and pleasure, while making use of the commercial provision of services. As such,
tourism is a product of modern social arrangements, beginning in Western Europe in the 17th
century, although it has antecedents in Classical antiquity. It is distinguished from exploration in
that tourists follow a “beaten path,” benefit from established systems of provision, and, as
befits pleasure-seekers, are generally insulated from difficulty, danger, and embarrassment.
Tourism, however, overlaps with other activities, interests, and processes, including, for
example, pilgrimage. This gives rise to shared categories, such as “business tourism,” “sports
tourism,” and “medical tourism”.
5.5.1.5.2 Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon

Tourism is a social, cultural and economic phenomenon which entails the movement of people
to countries or places outside their usual environment for personal or business/professional
purposes, activities undertaken during their stay in those destinations, and the facilities created
to cater to their needs. It is a study of man away from his usual habitat, of the industry which
responds to his needs, and of the impacts that both he and the industry have on the host socio-
cultural, economic, and physical environments. These people are called visitors who may be
either tourists or excursionists; residents or non-residents and tourism has to do with their
activities, some of which imply tourism expenditure. It is composed of private, public and not-
for-profit components interested in tourism development, new products, destination marketing,
economic benefits and future sustainability.
5.5.1.5.3 Philosophy behind Ecotourism Development

Ecotourism has become a popular form of tourism development and marketing in the past ten
years, often harnessing the growth in public concern over the wise use of natural resource. In
most cases, however, impacts on the ecosystems that are the resource base for ecotourism
products are either externalized or their consequences incorporated into the natural evolution
of tourism products.
Ecotourism is a subject of the spectrum of tourism types which make up nature-based tourism.
Ecotourism is often viewed and promoted as being consistent with conservation objectives
because it is a small-scale with limited ecological and social impacts. In contrast, nature-based
tourism, because of its larger scale, is often used to promote national development objectives
rather than conservation objectives. The demand for nature-based tourism and ecotourism has
been increasing steadily. This trend is expected to continue. The key determinants of what
tourists want are determined by their knowledge, their desired level of excitement, available
vacation time and cost.

5.5.1.5.4 Best Practices in Ecotourism Operations in the World

Ecotourism is a travel experience that helps travelers come to a better understanding of unique
natural and cultural environments around the world. Hundreds of specialized tours now exist in
the natural areas that allow small groups to see unique practices in ecotourism operations: It
must be compatible with the natural and cultural values of the Site are known and unique
elements highlighted, the design and layout of an environmental area maximize Ecotourism
Facility sustainability and visitor comfort by considering factors such as aspect and orientation, It
promotes water and energy conservation and a ‘leave no trace’ philosophy is applied in relation
to travelers, waste and pollution is minimized. Ecotourism Operation engages, involves and
benefits the local communities and encourages visitors to appreciate and want to protect the
natural and cultural values of the place. Here are the best practices in ecotourism operations in
the world:
• Strengthen the conservation effort for and enhance the natural integrity of the places
visited.
• Respect the sensitivities of other cultures.
• Be efficient in the use of natural resources.
• Ensure waste disposal has minimal environmental and aesthetic impact.
• Develop a recycling program.
• Support principals who have a conservation ethic.
• Keep abreast of current political and environmental issues, particularly of the local area.
• Support ecotourism education / training for guides and managers.
• Never intentionally disturb or encourage the disturbance of wildlife or wildlife habitats.
• Keep vehicles to designated roads and tracks.
• Abide by the rules and regulations of natural areas.
• Endeavor to use distribution networks and retail outlets to raise environmental
awareness by distributing guidelines to consumers.
• Employ tour guides well versed in and respectful of local cultured and environments.
5.5.1.5.5 Best Practices of Ecotourism Operations in the Philippines

Ecotourism in the Philippines, refers to a form of sustainable tourism within a natural and
cultural heritage area where community participation, protection and management of natural
resources, culture and indigenous knowledge and practices, environmental education and ethics
as well as economic benefits are fostered and pursued for the enrichment of host communities
and satisfaction of visitors. Here are the best practices in ecotourism operations in the
Philippines:
• Conservation of natural ecosystems, biodiversity and culture;

• Community participation in the growth of the local tourism industry;
• Inclusive growth that involves, women, children, indigenous peoples, informal
sector;
• Increased awareness on environmental conservation and responsible travel;
• Balanced development by taking into consideration economic, environmental and
social goals.
5.5.1.5.6 Best Practices in Ecotourism Operations in the Province of Batangas

In Batangas, tourist satisfaction can almost always be assured if you know where to look. For
more adventurous explorers however, the question might be about what lies beyond.
Ecotourism, for that matter, is an idea, a possibility which in the Province of Batangas can be
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
329
fully realized, if the proper steps are taken. Performing ecotourism operations is obviously a
great solution to give the tourism industry in the Province of Batangas a much-needed
makeover. Administrative Order No. 2011-09 has already been handed down by former Gov.
Vilma Santos-Recto to start things going.
5.5.1.5.7 Ecotourism Operations/ Practices in the Municipality

It’s been a tradition in the municipality to celebrate different activities related to the cultural
values of the people. During the 7th day of October, Rosario celebrates its town fiesta. This
occasion is celebrated in honor of its patron, Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary.
When Lenten season comes, the town's heart-felt celebration of Holy Week begins. People from
different barangays participate in Penitensyahan ROSARIO. In this activity, giant mock-ups are
paraded on streets of Rosario. It is also during Holy Week when many of the old-time residents
make a sentimental journey back home amid rituals of Pabasa, never-ending processions,
Stations of the Cross, the dance of the Virgins on Easter Sunday, salubong.
According to Alejandrino (2012), Ecotourism in the Philippine context was defined on December
1994 when the Philippine Council for Agriculture, Forestry, and Natural Resources Research and
Development (PCARRD), the Department of Tourism and the Protected Areas and Wildlife
Bureau (PAWB) jointly sponsored a tourism symposium workshop, solely for this purpose.
Ecotourism is then defined as “an environmentally sound tourism activity, sustainability
implemented in a given ecosystem yielding socio-economic benefits and enhancing natural and
cultural diversity conservation”.
Ecotourism is about uniting conservation, communities and sustainable travel. It is a form of

tourism where it tackles about the environment. It provides beneficially active socio-economic
involvement of local populations. Also it promotes conservation to enhance the natural
resources and the cultural diversity conservation. Tomboll Hill is one of the best examples of
Ecotourism that preserve the natural beauty of a hill.
Religious or faith-based tourism, however, is not only about pilgrimages. Faith-based travel may
take place for life cycle events, for missionary work or humanitarian interest projects and for
religious conventions and conclaves. Although the social-psychology of religious tourism deals is
based on emotion, faith-based tourism is big business. To help you deal with this growing travel
trend, here are some essentials to help the busy travel and tourism professional (Tarlow, 2010)
Religious tourism is not only a visitation to a particular holy destination, but may also be travel
for a humanitarian cause, for reasons of friendship or even as a form of leisure. Tombol Hill is
considered as a religious tourism because of its “Hagdan Tungo Kay Hesus” where at end there
is a big statue of the Risen Christ. Religious travel can be the primary reason for a trip but it can
also be part of a trip and provide a destination with additional attractions.
Hiking or trekking allows us to maintain our body in good working condition by walking which is
really a good exercise. It improves our physical as well as mental health and the list of benefits
from hiking and trekking is infinite. Hiking is essentially walking that is considered to be one of
the most perfect forms of exercise for your body. You can get a chance to spend some quality
time together with the Mother Nature, so it also provides a mental health antidote. Everyone
can find trails to suit their physical strengths. And unlike other activities or sports, it is a pursuit
that allows people to determine their own limitations. (Fabiani, Albina 2015)
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
330
Hiking is considered as one of the exercise that can help maintain our good body. Tomboll Hill is
not just about religious activity it provides also the opportunity to enhance our physical, mental
and also our spiritual being. Climbing up on the hill will make you physically strong and
emotionally stable because you can relax yourself once you get there at the top. Tomboll Hill is
also one way to get closer to the gift of God and of course to appreciate how blessed our nature
is.
5.5.1.5.8 Impact of ecotourism in the society

Ecotourism is tourism in natural environments to observe undisturbed wildlife and progress
conservation efforts. Ecotourism is commonly viewed as a positive way to boost the economy in
an area while preserving threatened environments.
5.5.1.5.8.1 Builds environmental awareness

Ecotourism means education, for both tourists and residents of nearby communities. Well
before departure tour operators should supply travelers with reading material about the
country, environment and local people, as well as a code of conduct for both the traveler and
the industry itself.
5.5.1.5.8.2 Provides direct financial benefits for conservation

Ecotourism helps raise funds for environmental protection, research and education through a
variety of mechanisms, hotel, and voluntary contributions.
5.5.1.5.8.3 Provides financial benefits and empowerment for local people

Ecotourism and other conservation areas will only survive if there are "happy people" around
their perimeters. The local community must be involved with and receive income and other
tangible benefits (potable water, roads, health clinics, etc.) from the conservation area and it’s
tourist facilities. Campsites, lodges, guide services, restaurants and other concessions should be
run by or in partnership with communities surrounding a park or other tourist destination.
More importantly, if Ecotourism is to be viewed as a tool for rural development, it must also
help shift economic and political control to the local community, village, cooperative, or
entrepreneur. This is the most difficult and time-consuming principle in the economic equation
and the one that foreign operators and "partners" most often let fall through the cracks or that
they follow only partially or formally.
5.5.1.5.8.4 Respects local culture

Ecotourism is not only ‘greener’ but also less culturally intrusive and exploitative than
conventional tourism. Whereas prostitution, black markets and drugs often are by-products of
mass tourism, ecotourism strives to be culturally respectful and have a minimal effect on both
the natural environment and the human population of a host country. This is not easy, especially
since ecotourism often involves travel to remote areas where small and isolated communities
have had little experience interacting with foreigners. And like conventional tourism, ecotourism
involves an unequal relationship of power between the visitor and the host and a modification
of the relationship through exchange of money. Part of being a responsible eco-tourist is
learning beforehand about the local customs, respecting dress codes and other social norms and
not intruding on the community unless either invited or as part of a well-organized tour.

Current Situation
6.1.1.1 Roads and Bridges
6.1.1.1.1 Accessibility within the locality and with the neighboring localities
The municipality is served by a total of 22.912 kilometers of national road. The 6.92-kilometer
section of the Batangas-Quezon National Secodary Road enters Barangay San Ignacio to the
west and exits at Barangay Quilib to the north of the Poblacion. The 15.99-kilometer section of
the Rosario-Sn Juan Tertiary Road starts from within the Poblacion and exits at Barangay
Putingkahoy to the easte of the Poblacion.
Under the new classification system described by the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH), National Secondary Roads are those that:
• Directly connects cities to National Primary Roads, except in metropolitan areas;

• Directly connects major ports and ferry terminals to National Primary Roads;
• Directly connects major airports to National Primary Roads;
• Directly connects tourist service centers to National Primary Roads or other National
Secondary Roads;
• Directly connects cities (not included in the category of major cities)
• Directly connects provincial capitals within the same region;
• Directly connects major National Government Infrastructure to National Primary Roads
or other National Secondary Roads.
National Tertiary Roads, on the other hand are those other existing roads under DPWH which
perform a local function.
The Batangas-Quezon National Secondary Road serves as the main development spine,
connecting on the north to Padre Garcia and on the west to Ibaan. The Roasrio-Sn Juan Tertiary
Road serves as the main corridor connecting San Juan to the east. Neighboring cities and
municipalities such as Lipa City, Taysan, Lobo, even San Antonio, in the Province of Quezon are
connected to the Poblacion and the municipality in general, by the provincial and barangay
roads. Barangay roads are perpendicularly inter-linked to the provincial roads.
6.1.1.1.2 Existing condition of roads and bridges

As of 2013, the total road kilometerage is 384.39 kilometers. Based on the municipality
occupying a total land area of 22,666.67 hectares, this shows a road density of 1.70 kilometer
per 100 hectares of land. The road system is classified into national (22.912 kilometers),
provincial (58.709 kilometers), municipal (6.711 kilometers) and barangay (296.061
kilometers).
With regards to the type of pavement, 21% have concrete and 7% have asphalt paved surfaces,
while the remaining 62% have either gravel or earth road surface. Provincial and municipal
roads are 100% concrete. Over half (53%) of barangay roads is gravel, while 29% is earth filled.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
340
On-going municipal infrastructure projects are concentrated on the construction and

improvement municipal and barangayroads. Most barangay roads are being funded out of their
respective internal revenue allotments and partly out of the 20% Development Fund of the
Municipal Government, which are relatively meager compared to the total fund required for the
completion of their current needs.
In terms of road condition, the road network was evaluated as Fair (acceptable/ serviceable),
Poor (needs improvement) and Critical (for priority action). In general, all classes of roads were
generally in fair condition.
There are 21 concrete bridges and 28 wood, steel and other types of bridges. All bridges are
passable to the public commuters, residents, and farmers who had taken the route.
Relative to Hazard Susceptibility, the indicative level of susceptibility for all hazards were
indicated as High (H), Moderate (M) and Low (L). The types of hazards evaluated were: Flood
(Fl), Tropical cyclone (Tc), Earthquake (Eq), Volcano (Vo), Landslide (Ln), Tsunami (Ts), Storm
Surge (Su), Others (e.g.coastal erosion, sea level rise, land subsidence, liquefaction, strong wind,
change in temperature, change in rainfall, etc.).
Generally, some sections of the road network have high susceptibility to flood, tropical cyclone
and landslide, but overall, the larger sections have moderate to low susceptibility to all types of
hazards. The same observation applies to the existing biridges of the municipality.
Definitely, there are some isolated areas or gaps inthe road network system that require linkage
or connection to the urban core or municipal proper and to other outlying areas particulary in
the highland barangays.
6.1.1.2 Inventory of motor ehicles

The Poblacion and other urban areas have a population of 42,019, while the rural barangays
have 83,944 in total. There are an estimated __ tricycles and 907 public utility jeepneys
servicing the local population.
Mode of transportation of the municipality of Rosario are motorcycles/ tricycles (__%) of the
total land transport vehicles both private and public utility vehicles; light vehicles (___%), bicycle
(___%), trucks/ heavy trucks (___%), tractor (___%), kalesa/kariton, kubota and others (___%).
6.1.1.3 Tranport facilities

Public Utility jeepneys plying the route of Rosario-Batangas City utilize the lay-by facility along
Gualberto Street south of the Laurel Park. Rosario-Taysan jeepneys have a terminal in the
market site at Barangay Poblacion E. The Rosario-Lipa jeepneys utilize the loading and
unloading area at Barangay Poblacion C. Also the San Juan-Lipa City jeepneys, as well as public
utilitiy buses passing by along Gualberto Ave. have designated loading and uloading zones
designated through the Municipal Traffic Code Ordinance of Rosario, Batangas. Public utility
tricycles likewise have informal waiting areas for different barangay routes in the Poblacion and
the vicinity of Public Market. Informal public utility tricycle terminals have also sprouted along
major nodes of the national and provincial roads connecting the interior barangays. They are
located in the place accessible to the people. However, they are now increasingly causing road
friction and traffic hazard for the public, especially in the Central Business District.

6.2 Power
Current Situation
The current and projected number of billed customers per classification and the power
consumption (kWh) per classification is presented in the succeeding tables. The number of billed
customers will increase by about 13,510 in 2030 from the current 18,183 representing almost
75% growth over the next 15 years. On the other hand, the kWh consumption per classification
will increase by 297% or almost 3 times the current consumption.
Residential consumers constitute 94% of the total consumers. Commercial and industrial
customers and public buildings constitute the remaining 6% of the total consumers of electricity
based on BATELEC II data.
Residential customers include residential communal and residential BAPA. Low voltage
customers include public buildings, street lights, commercial and CWS (Irrigation). Belonging to
the high voltage customers are commercial, small industrial and large industrial.

The big jump in power consumption is based on the planned 16 new high voltage customers
that will be coming in as a result urbanization of the municipality which is projected to become a
city in the next few years. This plan also contemplates the establishment of an industrial park
somewhere in the Metro Northeast District of the municipality, which maybe in Barangay Natu
and Baybayin. The current industrial zone is in the Metro West District of the municipality
mostly in Barangays Masaya, San Ignacio and the northern portion of Colongan.
There are also some investors inquiring about possible locations for solar power plants to meet
the increasing power demand. Hence, the municipality allocated over 268 hectares of industrial
area for this and other purposes.

6.3 Water
Most of the discussion pertaining to the information related to the Rosario Water District were
lifted from the “Water Supply Improvement Project Joint Venture Proposal Submitted by
Primewater to Rosario Water District, February 2017”. The waterworks system of Rosario,
considered as a Level III water supply service is being operated and managed by the Rosario
Water District.
Current Situation
6.3.1.1 History of Water District

Rosario Water District was created on January 24, 1980 in accordance with Presidential Decree
No. 198 or the Provincial Water Utilities Act of 1973 through Conditional Certificate of
Conformance No. 111 granted by LWUA.
The present water supply facilities of Rosario Water District (RWD) consists of nine operational
wells, located in Barangays Namunga, Masaya, Sta. Cruz, Quilib, San Jose, Bagong Pook, San
Roque and Poblacion B. The operational sources are equipped with pumping stations.
Disinfection through Hypo chlorination is applied in all pumping stations before discharging the
water into the distribution systems.
6.3.1.2 Inventory and Description of Existing Water Supply Facilities

Source of potable water for the municipality of Rosario mainly comes from groundwater. There
are ten (10) existing wells of which nine (9) are operational pumping stations being used by the
Rosario Water District. These consists of eight (8) deep wells and one (1) shallow well. The
pumping stations have varying operating hours and operational settings. Water feeds directly
into the distribution system from seven (7) wells while the other two (2) have floating tanks. In
order to comply with Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water all sources must receive
disinfection before discharging into the system.
6.3.1.3 Pumping Stations

In general, all pumping stations utilize submersible pumps with varying capacities. Water is
directly fed into the network lines while some pumping stations are equipped with storage
tanks. The installed pump for each pumping station is motor- operated with either the Reduced
Voltage AutoTransformer (RVAT) or the Capacitor Starter. Some of the pumping stations have a
standby Generator Set. Based on RWD’s Pumping Assessment Data as of December 2015, the
operating facilities have a maximum discharge rate of 3.62 MLD.
6.3.1.4 Water Treatment Facilities

Treating water is a necessity in providing potable water supply to the served areas. Chlorination
is widely used as the treatment technology for the existing pumping stations of the Rosario
Water District (RWD), Water pumped from wells undergoes treatment before it is directly
distributed into the network lines.
6.3.1.5 Water Storage Facilities

Rosario Water District has a total of four (4) Storage Tanks, three (3) of which are operational
tanks located in Barangays Sta. Cruz, Quilib and Poblacion B and one (1) non-operational tank
located in Barangay Masaya. Water storages are of the elevated steel type, operating either on a
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
369
fill- and- draw or on a floating-on-the-line system. A water tank located at Poblacion B has a
booster pump to deliver water to the distribution lines within the coverage areas.
6.3.1.6 Transmission and Distribution Lines

The water district maintains roughly a total of 58.62 kilometers of transmission and distribution
lines to cover the 17 barangays in the Municipality of Rosario. The water lines range from
25mmø to 200mmø and are made of PVC, PE and Gl Pipe.
6.3.1.7 Service Connections and Customer Service

RWD covers the water requirements of the 17 barangays out of the total 48 barangays of
Rosario. As of December 2015, a total of 4,306 active connections distributed to the served
barangays with an approximate 50,370 populace enjoy the water services. The billed
connections are further divided into different categories below:
Table 154. Categories of Billed Concessionaires, 2015
Category No. of Concessionaires

Domestic Accounts 3,840
Commercial Accounts 423
Government/Institutional Accounts 43
Grand Total 4,306
RWD charges its water consumers monthly depending on the category and the amount of
volume consumed. The prevailing water tariff of the Water District for domestic consumption is
Php160.00 for the first ten (10) cubic meters.
6.3.1.8 Billed Volume

The Billed Volume is the sum of all the volume of consumption by the Water District to its water
consumers of all categories. From the records of December 2015, the total metered billed
volume is 890,717 cubic meters, equivalent to 64.90% of total water production. A total of
1,372,526 cubic meters of metered water was produced for 2015. For December 2015, the non-
revenue water (NRW) level of Rosario Water District is 31.23%. This was calculated using the
December 2015 total billed volume and December production of Rosario Water District.
6.3.2.1 Population and Water Demand Projections

Served barangays cover those areas that have households with water service line connections
from the Rosario Water District (RWD). Unserved barangays, on the other hand, are those
households without water service line connections from the said water provider, but have Level
II (e.g. deep/shallow wells) or are connected to a Level III water supply system.
The population of the municipality is projected to increase to 214,021 from the current 125,963
over the next 15 years, the population of served barangays is seen to increase from the current
50,370 to 59,584.
The water production is seen to increase by 37% from the current 1,658,309 cubic meters.
However, the average cubic meter production per billed concessionaire is seen to decrease from
the current 385 cubic meters to 237 cubic meters per concessionaire. In fact, the outlook for
2030 is that the supply side (Water Produced from Pumping Station) will be in equilibrium with
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
370
the demand side (Water Billed to Concessionaires) when the number of concessionaires is
expected to double the current number of 4,306 concessionaires. There are only three types of
consumers noted by the Rosario Water District. There are domestic, commercial and semi-
commercial connections. Domestic consumers are the major consumers.

2030 2,279,108 2,279,108 8,588 MPDC
The standard water demand requirement for residential consumer of Level III water supply
system as developed by the Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) is 100-110 liters per
capita per day (lcpd) per individual connection. With the 2016 population of the Poblacion at
7,706 – the required volume of water for residential consumption is 847,674 liters per day. This
means that currently, over 50% of water production is already allocated meet the water
demand of the residential consumers of the Poblacion area, while the remaining production is
for the other consumers such as the remaining residential consumers within the service area as
well as the commercial/industrial and other users. By the 2030, the residential demand of the
Poblacion is seen to increase to 63% of production.
Hence, to avoid or minimize the risk of supply deficit over the next 10-15 years, sustainable use
of water resources including conservation and protection of watersheds and recharge areas is
imperative.

6.4 Communication
Current Situation
6.4.1.1 Telecommunication Services and Facilities
6.4.1.1.1 Telephone Services

In the past, Digital Telecommunication Philippines, Incorporated held the franchise of telephone
services and facilities in the municipality. The former management office is in Barangay
Poblacion B and the service areas include Barangay Poblacion A to E, Namuco, Itlugan,
Namunga, Maalas-as, Masaya, San Ignacio, Bagong Pook, San Carlos, San Roque, Quilib,
Tiquiwan and Sambat in Baybayin. Type of system then is NEAXX GIE, with switching facilities
and a capacity of 3,163 lines. A few years ago, the Digitel fixed line subscribers were
encouraged to migrate to Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) network. PLDT happened
to be the new owner of Digitel which took over from the Gokongweis. Reliable data is not
available in terms of the telephone subscriber base of PLDT, Digitel and Globe Telecoms which
also entered the Rosario telephone market in recent years.
As of 2015, an estimate of the households with fixed line subscription was placed at 19% of the
total or 4,746 households.
6.4.1.1.2 Telegraph Services

Lone personnel, the telegraph operator, man the telegraph office of the Bureau of
Telecommunication in the municipality. The Telecommunications Office share office space with
the postal service. It can be noted in the following table that volume of messages transacted is
on a decreasing pattern. The population since there are already landline phones, mobile phones
and Internet services has better alternative means of communication. Hence, use of telegraph
facilities is now minimal or even marginal. The volume of messages sent and received is
presented in the following table:

It can be noted that communication through letters is still prevalent in the municipality. All
types of postal services, however, in terms of letter dispatched and received are both on a
decreasing trend. This is probably due to the availability mobile internet connections which
enhanced the use of other communication platforms such as social media and voice over
internet protocol (VOIP). And of course, we also have private courier services like LBC as
alternative to the Postal Services.
With five (5) letter carriers, the permanent letter carrier to population ratio is one letter carrier
for every 25,193 population. This is way below the standard of 1 letter carrier per 5,000
population.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

6.4.1.1.4 Other Telecommunication Services and Facilities

Other telecommunication service includes mobile phone service. There are cell sites operated
and managed by major mobile phone service providers such as SMART Communication Inc.,
Globe Telecom Inc. and Sun Celluar. There are also private fax machines that offer fax services
both local and international. Email communications through Internet Service Providers of
privately owned Computer/Internet Shops are also available.
As of 2015, an estimate of the households with mobile phone subscription was placed at 84% of
the total or 21,595 households. Meanwhile, Broadband Internet service in all its form (DSL,
fiber-optic, cable and satellite) excluding mobile internet, was placed at 41% of the total or
10,553 households.
6.4.1.1.5 Broadcast Media

There are no broadcast media stations in the municipality. However, all broadcast stations in
Metro Manila, Batangas City, Lucena City and Lipa City can be tuned in the municipality. The
same is true for all television stations in Metro Manila. They can all be simulcast and watced in
the municipality. For more stations and better television viewing cable television services is also
available.
6.4.1.1.6 Print Media

Most newspapers, magazine, tabloids and printed materials for the public consumption are
available in the municipality. National newspaper such as Philippine Daily Inquirer, Manila
Bulletin and Philippine Star are available daily from Metro Manila. These print media make
citizenry of Rosario aware and conscious of what is happening around them both nationally and
internationally.

In all these, only the need for basic information and communication services through telephone
services and postal services shall be made accessible to the population. With the standard of
one telephone station per municipality, there is a current need for investments in a telephone
station to serve the urgent requirement of a growing demand for telephone connections.
With the projected household of 36,429 by year 2025, there should be a total of 16,000
telephone connection by then to achieve the target of 44% penetration for this service. With
the present estimated subscribers of 25,584, future requirement is 10,845 connections.

In terms of postal services, the decreasing volume of mails received and dispatched maybe
indicative of decreasing demand for this services in the municipality. We are now at the point
where the number of mails dispatched approaches that of the population. But still, there is a
need to improve this service and be made more accessible and easy for the people to transact
business with. Improvement in terms of office space and equipment must be considered.
Equipment and facilities such as mail distribution centers, postal stations/circuits, and mail
transport vehicles should be acquired in good, updated and state-of-the-art quality to sustain
the trust and confidence of the general public clientele.
In terms of letter carrier to population, the prevent ratio of 1: 25,193 falls short of the standard
one letter carrier per 5,000 population. Thus, currently the required number of letter-carriers
should be 26, thus there is shortage of 21 letter carriers. Considering the projected population
up to year 2030, the projected number of letter carrier is presented in the succeeding table.
Mail transport vehicle should correspondingly improved. One vehicle per letter carrier must be
provided. The postal office must prioritize acquisition of vehicle for use of the postal letter
carriers. These will further improve rendering of postal services to the population.

6.5 Solid Waste Management
Current Situation
Collection of waste according to its classification is religiously implemented in five Poblacion
areas and in Public Market. Residual wastes from institutions and barangay with functional
materials recovery facility are included in the collection of the three (3) local garbage trucks.
This is in compliance with the provisions of Republic Act 9003 Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000. Collected wastes are brought to the Central Material Recovery
Facility about 4 kilometers from the Poblacion. Biodegradables and residual wastes are finally
sorted and processed. The Local Government Unit acquired one shredder, three composters and
screener for conversion of biodegradable waste into bio-soil conditioner. Residual waste are
pulverized in a pulverizing machine and converted to cement crafts. Residual wastes that can be
processed are brought to the private sanitary landfill since the LGU does not its own sanitary
landfill. For more detailed discussion on current situation of the municipal solid waste
management, please refer to the Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities Current Situation
section of Health and Sanitation Sub-sector under the Social Sector.

Based on the existing data, a Category 1 Sanitary Landfill can be established in the municipality.
Category 1 SLF is applied to LGU's with net residual waste generated of less than or equal to 15
tons per day (TPD).
The existing volume and area projection used the 325 kg/cubic meter density as basis. A 4-meter
depth was used in determining the total volume per year. Within the planning period,
approximately a total of 4 hectares land area will be necessary. The land area will be minimized
for a SWM disposal capacity provided there's an increase in waste diversion thus decreasing the
waste disposal.
The unutilized portion of the previous disposal facility owned and operated by the Municipal
Government will be the proposed site for Sanitary Landfill. It has an approximate area of 1.5
hectares. This is situated in Brgy. Maalas-as, wherein the Central Materials Recovery Facility is
also located. It is approximately 300 meters away from the residential areas.
The Municipal Government will also be identifying and acquiring a total lot area of
approximately of 2.5 hectares for the succeeding years of planning period. (Please refer to the
Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities Current and Future Needs section of Health and
Sanitation Sub-sector under the Social Sector.
6.5.2.1 Selection of Landfill Sites

This section was an adaptation of the project study entitled “A GIS-Based Multi-Criteria
Evaluation System for Selection of Landfill Sites: A Case Study for the Municipality of Rosario,
Batangas” by the group of Emmanuel Querubin, Rolando Allam, Jr., Juan Miguel Torres, Angelica
Umali and Jessie Fortus for Environmental Science 211 Systems Analysis and Quantitative
Methods In Natural Resource Management, School of Enviromental Science and Management,
University of the Philippines Los Baños, College, Laguna.

6.5.2.1.1 Utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS)

Solid waste management is an important basic service provided by local government units (LGU)
to the public. One of the more critical aspects is disposal, since it has a great potential to impact
public health and the environment (United Nations Environment Programme, 2005).
The nationally designated method for solid waste disposal in the country is through sanitary
landfills, where landfilled wastes are isolated from the environment until the wastes are
rendered innocuous through the biological, chemical, and physical processes of nature. It is well-
suited for developing countries like the Philippines due to the flexibility and relative simplicity of
the technology (UNEP, 2005).
However, there are regulations put in place by law as to where sanitary landfill can be
established so that exposure of people and the environment to solid waste and its potentially
detrimental effects is minimized. The concern now facing LGUs is where to locate sanitary
landfills in light of the decreasing available space for disposal and the continuing increase in
waste generation (UNEP, 2005).
The utilization of Geographic Information System (GIS) can prove useful in identifying suitable
sites for sanitary landfills. In this case study, GIS will be used as a tool and decision support
system for the Municipality of Rosario, Batangas. The results generated is envisioned to help the
LGU in its solid waste management efforts as well as in complying with environmental
regulations.
6.5.2.1.2 Legal Framework

The Republic Act No. 9003 (R.A. 9003) is the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of the
Philippines; it provides the legal framework for the country’s systematic, comprehensive, and
ecological solid waste management program to ensure protection of public health and the
environment. The Act emphasizes the need to create the necessary mechanisms and incentives
in pursuing an effective solid waste management at the local government levels and the
corresponding penalties for violation of any of the provisions in R.A 9003
(http://emb.gov.ph/eeid/ESWM.htm).
On the salient features of R.A. No. 9003 is the creation of the National Solid Waste Management
Commission (NSWMC), the National Ecology Center (NEC) and the Solid Waste Management
Board in every province, city and municipality in the country. The NSWMC is responsible for the
(1) formulation of the National Solid Waste Management Framework and policies on solid
waste, (2) overseeing the implementation of solid waste management plans and (3)
management of the solid waste management fund. On the other hand, the Solid Waste
Management Board of provinces, cities and municipalities are responsible for the development
of their respective solid waste management plans. Another salient feature of R.A. 9003 is the
prohibition against the use of open dumps for solid waste and that all open dumpsites should be
converted into controlled dumpsites after three years, and that all controlled dumpsites should
be closed within five years of the implementation of the Act
(http://emb.gov.ph/eeid/ESWM.htm).
In the Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act No. 7160), the national government
decentralized to the local government units (LGU’s) the provision of basic services including
waste collection and disposal. The role of the LGU’s in the solid waste management, them being
the primary responsible government unit in the implementation of R.A. 9003, is consistent with
the country’s policy of decentralization (Ocenar 2001).
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
385
The Philippine Environment Code (PD 1152) and Pollution Control Decree of 1976 (PD 984), the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources Administrative Order No.5 Series of 1998
(DAO 98-50) implements and disseminates the guidelines and screening criteria for landfill site
identification for Municipal Solid Waste Disposal Facilities (Kojima and Michida, 2011).
Municipal waste are the wastes produced from activities within local government units which
include combination of domestic, commercial, institutional and industrial wastes and street
litters (R.A. 9003). Sanitary landfills is the primary methods of municipal solid waste disposal
(Sumathi et.al, 2008).
6.5.2.1.3 Rosario, Batangas Solid Waste Disposal System

The current manner of solid waste disposal from the Poblacion and the nine (9) adjacent
barangays is through the local service garbage trucks that pick up the garbage daily from the
residents using three (3) dump trucks. The garbage is then disposed of at the municipal
dumpsite located at Barangay Maalas-as, about 4 kilometers from the Poblacion. The existing
dumpsite covers an area of 3.509 hectares. Other residents that are outside of the scope of the
current solid waste collection process resort to burning and burying as means of garbage
disposal (http://rosariobatangas.blogspot.com/2011/11/social-sector-health.html).
6.5.2.1.4 Ideal Sanitary Landfill

Sanitary landfills are areas of solid waste disposal where proper engineering control measures
are taken. Collected wastes are covered with a layer of earth and compacted (Heimlich, n.d.).
Allen and MacCarthy (1991) as cited by Allen et.al (2003) enumerated the factors affecting
suitability of landfill sites such as geological, hydrological/hydrogeological, topographic,
ecological, climatic, geotechnical, social, economic parameters. Walsh and O’Leary (2002)
enumerated the characteristics of ideal sanitary landfill: (a) meet local zoning and land use
criteria; (b) accessible in all weather conditions; (c) safely protects surface and groundwater
quality; (d) controls landfill gas; (e) has access to cover material; (f) far from environmentally
sensitive areas; (g) enough land and internal capacity to provide buffer zone from neighboring
properties and is able to be expanded and; (h) considerable haul distance to user communities.
6.5.2.1.5 Landfill Site Selection

One dilemma in solid waste management is the selection of the appropriate site for waste
disposal. Chang et. al. (2008) as cited by Doratli (2014) said that landfill site selection (LSS) in
urban or rural areas is a critical issue for the planning process because of its enormous impact
on the economy, ecology and the environmental health of the region. Siting a sanitary landfill
requires an extensive evaluation process for the identification of the best available disposal
location.
As cited by Doratli (2014), the environmental criteria are very important factor in siting landfills
due to its effect on the ecology of the vicinity area. The sites for landfills should have hydro
physical and geographic characteristics. Groundwater, aquifer system and depth of natural clay
are some of the properties examined (Heimlich, n.d.). Economic criteria such as distance to
roads and slope must be considered. Social criteria must not be left out of the process due to
“Not In My Backyard” (NIMBY) issues (Allen, 2003; Doratli, 2014). According to Walsh and
O’Leary (2002), sited landfill should have an approval of the regulatory agencies and acceptance
of the public.
Version 5.10 2018.11.05

6.5.2.1.6 Geographic Information System (GIS)

Geographic Information System (GIS) is a powerful technology which allows accurate processing
of spatial data covering a large number of themes, from a variety of sources, specially
cartographic/ numeric data, enabling processing, overlay and derivation of thematic maps,
enabling tailored solutions for a whole series of applications to be furnished (Allen et. al., )
GIS integrates hardware, software, and data for capturing, managing, analyzing, and displaying
all forms of geographically referenced information. GIS allows viewing, understanding,
questioning, interpreting, and visualizing data to reveal relationships, patterns, and trends in the
form of maps, globes, reports, and charts. GIS technologies are also applied to other fields to
assist experts and professionals in analyzing various types of geospatial data and dealing with
complex situations.
GIS is the go-to technology for making better decisions about location. Common examples
include real estate site selection, route/corridor selection, evacuation planning, conservation,
natural resource extraction, etc. Making correct decisions about location is critical to the success
of an organization (ESRI, 2010).
GIS provides strong framework for maintaining authoritative records about the status and
change of geography. GIS is becoming essential to understanding what is happening—and what
will happen—in geographic space (ESRI, 2010).
6.5.2.1.7 Application of GIS in Site Selection Process

GIS is a useful computer-based tool for spatial operations; it is capable of collecting, processing,
managing, analyzing, modeling and presenting spatial data for different applications. GIS is ideal
for site selection studies because of its ability to manage large volumes of spatial information
from a various resources (Sumathi et.al. 2008). GIS is a tool that not only reduces time and cost
of the site selection, but it also provides digital data bank for future monitoring program of the
site (Yagoub and Buyong, 2004).
Sumathi et.al. (2008) said that McHarg (1969) pioneered the use of GIS in suitability analysis.
Thematic maps are ‘superimposed’ on top of one another in order to find the suitable site with
interacting factors. GIS evolved and developed in the field of location science; it has a significant
role in siting waste disposal sites. The role of GIS in solid waste management are maintaining
account data to facilitate collection operations; customer service analyzing optimal locations for
transfer stations; planning routes for vehicles transporting waste from residential, commercial
and industrial customers to transfer stations and from transfer locations to landfills; locating
new landfills and monitoring the landfill (Sumathi et.al. 2008).
6.5.2.1.8 Criteria for the selection of sanitary landfill site

Criteria for the selection of sanitary landfill site were based on DENR Administrative Order 98-
50. These included the following:
1. Area Capacity;
2. Haul Distance;
3. Proximity to Perennial Surface Waters;
4. Occurrence of Flooding;
5. Proximity to Sensitive Land Users;
6. Local Ecological Conditions;
7. Current and Future Land Use;
8. Soil/Land Condition; and
Version 5.10 2018.11.05
387
9. Topography.
6.5.2.1.9 Location and land area of suitable sites for sanitary landfill in Rosario, Batangas
It can be noted that identified sites range greatly in terms of land area. In consideration of the
criteria on area capacity, only those areas with land areas greater than or equal to 5 hectares
were considered as the final suitable areas for sanitary landfill. These areas are shown in the
table below and these are located in barangays San Carlos, Mabato and Alupay with land areas
of 14.27, 9.65 and 5.71 hectares, respectively.

7.2 Heritage Conservation

Cultural heritage refers to the totality of cultural property preserved and developed through
time and passed on to posterity (National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009 or RA 10066). The
National Cultural Heritage Act of 2009 (RA 10066) was enacted specifically “to protect, preserve,
conserve and promote the nation’s cultural heritage, its property and histories, and the ethnicity
of local communities”. The Act also provides for the designation of Heritage Zones to protect the
historical and cultural integrity of a geographical area. In this regard, the National Historical
Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) issued the Guidelines, Policies and Standards for the
Conservation and Development of Historic Centers/Heritage Zones. The responsibility of
maintaining and conserving the Historic Centers/Heritage Zones is vested in the Local
Government Units (LGUs), with technical assistance of the national government, through the
National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) and the National Museum (NM) (CLUP
Manual Volume 2, 2014).
Hence, there is a need to preserve existing historic structures/sites; and to harmonize the design
and construction of new ones with the design of these historic structures/sites.
The northeast section of the Metro Rosario Quadrant is designated as the Ecotourism and
Heritage Conservation Quadrant 2. This area is the location of the Tombol Hill and Tombol
Spring (the headwater of Tombol River), Municipal Hall, Catholic Church, Iglesia Filipina
Independiente Church, Padre Vicente Garcia Memorial Academy, Pagtubos ng Panginoon
Grotto, The Haven, Sto. Niño Formation and Science High School and other educational and
religious institutions.

7.3 Indigenous People Community

The Municipality of Rosario do not have Ancestral Domain areas but now hosts some indigenous
people due to in-migration from different locations of Luzon Island. In harmony with the
declared policy of the State to recognize, respect, promote and protect all the rights of
Indigenous Cultural Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) within the framework of the
Constitution and national unity and development, the Local Government Unit also concerns
itself with Cultural Integrity Principle as it appropriately applies in the locality. As embodied in
the IPRA, cultural integrity is the ICC/IP right to preserve and protect their culture, traditions and
institutions (Sec. 29, Chapter III, IPRA). This includes right to community intellectual rights,
religious and cultural sites and ceremonies, indigenous knowledge systems and practices (IKSP),
access to biological and genetic resources and others. Barangay Putingkahoy is known to be host
to Aeta community.
