For 2014, the average Labor Force Participation Rate (LFPR) of Region III for the first semester was
61.69%. It is slightly lower than that for the first semester of 2013, which was 62.40% or a 0.71%
reduction in the LFPR. The LFPR is the percent out of the total population which makes up the labor
force, which are those individuals that are aged 15 years and above who are either employed or
unemployed. This means that 61.69% of the total population ages 15 years and above of Region III is
the labor force. Out of the LFPR, the average employment rate for the first semester of 2014 is
91.77%, a very slight improvement of 0.77% compared to the first semester 2013 which was 91.00%.
Moreover, an average11.72% of the employed are underemployed for the first semester of 2014,
which is an improvement of 3.58% compared to that for the first semester of 2013 which is 15.30%.
Underemployed is defined by NSO as employed persons who express the desire to have additional
hours of work in their present job or an additional job or to have a new job with longer working
hours. Visibly underemployed persons are those who work for less than 40 hours during the
reference period and want additional hours of work. Meanwhile, the unemployment rate forthe first
semester of 2014is8.24%, a decrease of 8.44% against the first semester of last year which was
9.00%.This means that for every 100 persons, 8.24% individuals have no job/business but actively
looking for work and/or those who are looking for work because of their belief that no work was
available or because of temporary illness/disability, bad weather, pending job application or waiting
for job interview.

These businesses, which dot the city, give us a picture of a bustling economy the city enjoys.
Angelenos are known to possess an entrepreneurial character. However, credit is also due to non-
Angelenos who chose the city as the base of their ventures. In 2014, Retailer, Services,
Food/Nocturnal, Real Estate and Farm classifications registered an increase in their numbers. A
remarkable increase of 200% was registered under Farm, from 1 in 2013 to 3 in 2014 and under Real
Estate, it registered a 13.09% increase, from 1,115 in 2013 to 1,261 in 2014. While under
Manufacturer, its number decreased by 7.82%, from 179 in 2013 to 165 in 2014.Overall, the total
number of registered businesses in the city increased by 8.02%, from 11,022 in 2013 to 12,113 in
2014.
Big mall chain operators have long made their presence felt in the city. First on the scene was the
Robinson’s Place, followed by SM Clark and lastly the Ayala mall, Marquee. But even before these
big three set foot in the city, there were already locally operated malls or shopping centers like the
JENRA Mall and the Nepo Mall.
Though admittedly, these giant commercial space operators have given local businesses stiff
competition, on the positive aspect, they have become points of interests to prospective tourists or
visitors to the city.
The city abounds with a number of fast food chains. To name a few of these are McDonalds, Burger
King, KFC, Greenwich, Jollibee, Chowking, Pizza Hut, Shakeys, Yellow Cab, and many more. Their
presence in the city affirms the healthy economy of the city and the changing food preference of the
people.
The next big thing that is happening in the business scene of the city is the business process
outsourcing (BPO) industry or more commonly known as call centers. These businesses were, in the
early days, concentrated in the Metropolitan Manila Area and in special economic zones like Clark
Special Economic Zone. As of the present, they have chosen to locate in the commercial districts,
particularly, in Angeles City which is a reflection of the city as an option to consider in choosing sites
for businesses.
There are now 13 BPOs or call centers registered with the city’s Business Permit and Licensing
Division (BPLD) as of December 2014. These BPOs had a total gross income of Php14,300,000.00,
wherein 3 or 23% of these 13 BPOs had a gross income of one million above. These companies also
employ 809 individuals, with one company employing 599 individuals.
Angeles City, seemingly saturated with all types of businesses, still has the potential for more
investments which businessmen can perceive and take advantage of. This explains the continuous
increase in number of new businesses opening up in the city. For 2012, there were 1,753 new
business registrations recorded in the Business Permit and Licensing Division (BPLD) of the city,
1,817 in 2013 and 2,413 in 2014.

4.2.1. Tourism
According to the Department of Tourism, tourist attractions are classified into nine (9) types, which
are as follows: 1) Nature, 2) History and Culture, 3) Industrial Tourism, 4) Sports and Recreational
Facilities, 5) Shopping, 6) Customs and Tradition, 7) Special Event, 8) Health and Wellness, and 9)
Others. It is really fortunate that Angeles City has all of these. It may already be a highly urbanized
city (HUC), but still, it has natural attractions that can draw tourists. The Sibol and Puning Hot Spring,
all in Barangay Sapangbato, are worth visiting, but with other types of tourist attractions, it has a
galore of them. All tourists, regardless of age and preference, will surely find something of interest
to them in the city. Adding to these tourists attractions are the newly developed and city-initiated
people’s park where individuals from all walks of life can relax and enjoy the open space. Children
are the ones who benefit the most because they can use and enjoy the parks recreational amenities
instead of playing in the streets where it is dangerous at no expense to their parents.
Angeles City is famous for being a recreation center, especially for its night life brought about by the
decades-long presence of American military forces. Today, Angeles City is not only limited to this
kind or type of tourist attractions. There are historical sites, sports and recreational facilities, resorts
and spas, malls, etc. which will surely keep tourists busy. One of the flagship projects of the city is
the development of the Heritage district – Plaza Anghel at. Barangay Sto. Rosario. Its primary
objective is cultural preservation and restoration. To achieve this, the city adopted a policy on
construction design and materials specifically for this area that will evoke the ambience of the era.
Sidewalks and even the roads in the vicinity were transformed appropriate to the period.
The variety of cuisines, both local and international, could very well induce visitors to indulge in a
gustatory trip. Actually there are travel operators in the city which specialize in culinary tourism. For
2014, there were 441 restaurants in the city compared to 2013 with 390, or an increase of 13.08%,
this will further give visitors the wide range of options they could choose from. There is also an
increase in the number of accommodations, from 106 hotels and motels in 2013 to 158 in 2014, or
49.06% growth. Contrary to this, the number of spas declined, from 128 in 2013 to 99 in 2014,
registering a decrease of 22.65%. See Table 4-7.
For 2014, there are a total of 77 banks in the city, registering a 5.47%increase compared to last year,
with 73 banks. All kinds of banks have opened up their branches in the city, from Universal,
Commercial, Rural, Savings and Thrift banks, catering to all the banking needs of the city population.
These banks offer services such as loans, e.g. car loan, housing loan, and business capital loan, bank
assurance, online and mobile banking, asset management, etc., accept bill payments, money
remittance, foreign exchange, etc. At present, there are 30 Universal banks, 16 Commercial banks,
10 Savings banks, 15 Rural and 2 Thrift banks and 1 government bank in the city. (See Table 4-8)

The cooperatives also offer job opportunities. Aside from its regular employees manning the
operations of the cooperatives, some cooperatives hire people for the services they offer like the
Clark Multi-Purpose Cooperative and the Mining Primary Multi-Purpose Cooperative which get
contracted for janitorial and/or maintenance jobs. Jointly, these two cooperatives hire not less than
1,000 workers who receive more than the minimum wage.
The primary function/mandate of the City Cooperative Development Office is to spearhead the
creation and growth of cooperatives as a practical vehicle for promoting self-reliance towards the
attainment of economic development, thus in compliance to this mandate, it extends the following
services to the cooperatives in the city, e.g., pre-membership education seminars, assistance to
cooperatives in their compliance to Cooperative Development Authority (CDA), Bureau of Internal
Revenue (BIR), local government units (LGU) and other requirements; facilitation of meetings of the
Cooperative Development Council’s ExeCom and the General Assembly and facilitation of the
activities during the National Cooperative Month, etc...

4.2.3. Agriculture
The fact that Angeles City is an urban area classified as a highly urbanized city at that, it still has the
City Agriculture and Services Office as its arm that implements programs/projects/activities
(Table____) of the agriculture sector that aims to improve its productivity. Its vision is “To help and
empower farming and fishing communities and the private sector to produce sufficient, accessible
and affordable food for every Angeleno.”
Angeles City has a total land area of 6,337.36 has. A little more than 1,000 has.are productive
agricultural land. The estimated areas of various agricultural land categories are based on the
Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Angeles City (2010-2020) and are as follows:
Orchard 36.36
The diminution in the farming areas and decrease in agricultural production can be attributed to the
urbanization, industrialization/commercialization and the rapid growth of the population of the city.
To counter and or adapt to this, the City Agriculture and Services Office introduced urban farming.
The practice of urban farming is a big contribution to food security and food safety. It aims to
increase the amount of food accessible to the people living in the city and allowing fresh vegetables,
fruits, and meat products available to urban consumers. For 2014, there are only twelve (12)
areas/barangays in the city which are engaged in urban agriculture (Anunas, Amsic, Cuayan, Cutud,
Cutcut, Margot, Mining, Pulung Maragul, Pulungbulu, Sapalibutad, Sapangbato and Sto. Domingo).
There is a 25% decrease in the farming areas (2013-16 to 2014-12).Four (4) barangays (Capaya,
Pampang, Pulung Cacutud and Tabun) have been delistedas agricultural barangays. It also indicated
a 22.73% decrease in the number of farmers or fisherfolks/fishinghouseholds (2013-22 to 2014-17).
Crop Production
For 2013 and 2014, the top three (3) crops are: sugarcane, followed by root crops (sweet potato,
cassava, gabi) and rice (Table4-14). The volume of production (in mt.) and the value of production of
the top crops are static in 2014. The rest of the agricultural area is devoted to vegetables (leafy,
fruit, root, legumes), corn and for mango production (Table 4-17). The crop production is supported
by irrigation facilities with a total number of thirty four (34) shallow tube wells (68 HP) to supply 102
hectares of farm land.

Backyard Fishpond
For 2013 and 2014, the area utilized for backyard fishpond is only 2.7 hectares. It indicated 17.18%
of 33 barangays or seven (7) barangays (Amsic, Sapangbato, Cutcut, Margot, Mining, Sapalibutad,

“tilapia” production (2013-16,300 to 2014-13,500 kgs.)and in total production cost at 17.34%(2013-
P124,120.00 to 2014-P102,600.00). The top producing barangay is Sto. Domingo (8,000 kgs.) and the
smallest volume of production is Brgy. Margot (250 Kgs.). The City Agriculture Office gives credit to
the top fish-producing barangay by providing it with an aqua tank with aerator. This kind of facility
provides better oxygenation to the fish so that the fish remain fresh when brought to the market.
In spite of being a highly urbanized and 1st class city, Angeles still has a forest with an area of 2.5
hectares located in Barangay Sapangbato. The forest is a good source of economic activity of the
people (Indigenous Peoples-IPs and even non-IPs) living in Sitio Target, a community adjacent to the
forest area. These residents have practiced eco-tourism, acting as tourist guides (25 – IPs and non-
IPs trained by the Department of Tourism) to earn a living. Around 800 to 1,000 tourists per year
from different countries (Korea, Japan, Germany, U.S.A., Australia, etc.) and even Filipino tourists
come to visit the place. They explore the area for their sports and recreational activities such as
four-wheel off-road driving and hiking to Mt. Pinatubo.
The people around the area also earn about a minimum of P200.00-P300.00/day by selling native
product-souvenirs (accessories, bow and arrow, flute, etc.), selling root crops, variety of fruits and
vegetables, and even orchids to tourists.
