I. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
I. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The advent of sixteenth century was the arrival of Spanish friars in Lumban together with a
military contingent. They landed on the shores of Laguna de Bay and settled down in the northern
part of the town. Friars made Lumban the center of their missionary activities. Soldiers put up a
station for themselves while the friars built a stage made of grass and bamboo. The stage was used
for their teachings in spreading Christianity to the natives. It was also used in staging “Moro-moro”
plays as a cultural presentation. Hence, the preference of Lumban folk for the “comedia” (another
term for “Moro-moro”). The site was later named “Entablado” which is Spanish for stage. It is now a
sitio of Barangay Wawa.
Entablado was too close to the lakewaters, so the missionaries transferred their center to the
south where they built a chapel. Again, the missionaries left for another location and the chapel site
was called “Kristiya”, now also a sitio of Wawa.
Finally, the friars decided to move further southward to the place where the Catholic church
now stands. A church was built out of wood, bamboo, and leaves, relying mostly on forced labor
imposed on the natives.
The church was later razed to the ground by a big fire. In its place rose another but bigger
church made of strong materials like rocks, stone, and lime. The first of its kind in Laguna, it was
finished in 1600 – after long years of hard labor and tragedy that struck the hapless labor force.
According to the unimpeachable sources, in 1606, the church opened a school where 400
boys were taught liturgical hymns and the use of musical instruments. The school was under the
supervision of Rev. Fr. Juan de Santa Maria, O.F.M. The church also served as a rest house for ailing
Franciscan missionaries until 1618.
In 1680, a major earthquake destroyed the church building. As time passed by, new buildings
had to be built and rebuilt because of damages brought about by typhoons, fires, and earthquakes.
The present church building was rebuilt from the ruins of American bombing raids during World War
II.
During the Spanish time, the barangay system of government already existed in Lumban.
Records show that the town’s barangays were established under Don Juan Tumbaga (1675-1750)
during his term as Capitan. There were nine original barangays, namely:
1. San Jose (now Primera Parang)
2. San Vicente (now Segunda Parang)
3. Santo Rosario (now Salac)
4. San Antonio (now Sto. Niño)
5. Señora dela Conception (now Maracta)
6. San Roque (now Balimbingan)
7. Santa Cruz (now Primera Pulo)
8. San Rafael (now Segunda Pulo)
9. San Isidro (now Maytalang I)
When the revolution broke out in 1896, Lumban’s menfolk not to be outdone, joined the
Katipunan in its uprising against the Spanish regime. Many “revolucionarioes” from the town,
wielding only their crude bolos, went down fighting when the intrepid Katipuneros set up a defense
against Spanish troops in sitio Kapanikihan. Resistance against foreign domination continued until

1900 when native soldiers fought against the Americans who took over from the Spaniards in the
occupation of Filipino-liberated areas. Lumban had its own share of heroes and among them was
Fidel Casedo. Casedo died fighting in Mabitac with the troops led by General Juan Cailles.
a firing squad. Mayor Paraiso and Chief Añonuevo were informed that if no information will be
given about the raid, both of them would be shot the next day. Luckily, the two were not shot. Both
were taken to the spot only to witness the death by musketry of ten (10) robust American POW’s as
the price for the escape of George Lightman the night before.
Mayor Paraiso found out later that before the June 11 incident, one (1) POW had already
escaped and that the Japanese commander had warned the Americans that any similar act would be
penalized by killing ten (10) POW’s for every escape. Relative to this, according to the mayor, the
American POW’s in Cine Lumban were divided into groups of 11 each. If one got away, the
remaining ten would be shot.
True to the warning, the ten (10) Americans in Cine Lumban incident were shot and killed
before the unbelieving eyes of Mayor Paraiso and Police Chief Añonuevo. They were buried in the
slope behind the Central school building. For his part, Mayor Paraiso stood his ground and never
squealed on the raid. He survived the ordeal with his equally indomitable Chief of Police. On
January 9, 1946 he testified on the details of the guerilla attack and the killing of American POW’s
before a Military Commission convened by General Douglas MacArthur, Commanding General of the
U.S. Army Forces in the Western Pacific.
In August 1943, the Japanese troops zoned Lumban simultaneously with Pagsanjan. Adult
menfolk were herded into the Lumban church and were incarcerated for three (3) days and four (4)
nights. During the “zona”, as people are wont to call the operation, the Japanese had one objective in
mind: to flush out the guerillas who have caused them trouble in ambuscades and other forms of
harassment. To attain their objective, the Japanese picked out veritable suspects like USAFFE
veterans, municipal officials and barrio lieutenants. From these persons, the Japanese Kempetai
squeezed out information that may lead to the capture of guerilla leaders and their men.
Those who could not endure the excruciating pains of flogging, skin-searing and nail-pulling
methods of the kempetai spilled out information that led to the capture and death of many guerilla
chieftains. The others, who could not bear the murderous gasps under the water cure, tried to escape
and got killed in the attempt. Several men died of shock and disease because of the “zona” and
another one (1) that followed months later.
Soon after the battle for liberation died down, the real story of Cely’s redeeming act came out.
In desperation, the Japanese planned the burning of Lumban. Cely got wind of this and exerted her
strong influence on Yamaguchi. Samonte pleaded with her husband to allow the people to evacuate
first before setting the town afire. Cely succeeded and was able to convince Mayor Yamaguchi. Only
after the townspeople had left did the Japanese commander give the orders that the town be put to the
torch. Fortunately, only half of the town was gutted by fire. The people realized later that Cely saved
thousands of lives of her townmates. Today Cely lives no longer despised but with dignity and honor
befitting a true Filipina.
broom-making, manufacturing of native cheese, and other home industries. The business sector, in
the meantime, has sprouted with bakeries, eateries, hardware, and auto supply store, motor works
shop, and gasoline station.
The venture that has padded the pockets of many Lumban families is the barong tagalog
embroidery business. The town’s embroidery products have crashed the international market and now
enjoys a respectable position in barong tagalog exportation. Its reputation is such that, when an
exporter places an order for barong tagalog, he specifies those embroidered in Lumban. Some towns
in Cavite, Batangas, and Rizal have taken to embroidery to prevent a Lumban monopoly, but Lumban
embroidery is meticulously done to its minutest detail – is to borrow a cliché, “always imitated but
never equaled.”
2.1.1 Location
The municipality of Lumban is one of the 16 towns comprising the fourth district of Laguna
province. It is situated at the eastern shore of Laguna de Bay, about 105 kilometers south of
Metropolitan Manila. Lumban lies at geographical coordinates of 14˚17’ latitude and 121˚27’
longitude. It is boarded on the north by the municipality of Kalayaan (Laguna), on the northeast by
the Quezon Province, on the southeast by Cavinti (Laguna), on the southwest by Pagsanjan & Sta.
Cruz (Laguna), and on the northwest by Laguna de Bay.
In 1996, according to the last CLUP (1996-2001), Lumban was considered as the third largest
municipality in Laguna. Initially, it has a total land area of 9,685 hectares which is approximately
equivalent to more than 5% of the province’s total land area. After several years, a disputed area with
the adjoining municipality of Cavinti was resolved. The said disputed area was eventually awarded to
Cavinti. Therefore, as of 2020, the remaining total land area of Lumban decreased by almost 60%
and now became 4,117 hectares. The succeeding paragraph will further explain how the existing total
land area of Lumban was derived.
For spatial planning purposes, the technical planning team utilized the municipal satellite
image from google earth, the cadastral survey CADD 90-D and various thematic maps from different
official sources. The existing land uses was validated on ground through actual inspection and
stakeholder consultation in selected areas. The use of GIS in the spatial analysis and area
computation was attributed to different land area computations. Since there were discrepancies in
total area, the GIS-derived spatial data used for accounting different land uses and various areas
occupied by national policies were validated through overlaying the google earth maps and comparing
it with the existing official maps. This is to ensure that the maps used for spatial analysis closely
represent the actual situation on ground. Hence, protects the integrity of GIS-derived data. The
result, however, does not intend to modify what has been reflected on records but to show how
Lumban look like in terms of land utilization and how effective land use management might work.
Though in some cases, with proper procedure, derived data from GIS which are used in land use
planning modifies the official records.
The municipality is comprised of 16 barangays. Lewin is the largest barangay in terms of
land area with 1,332.195 hectares, while Balimbingan is the smallest, with 3.78 hectares.
Lumban is generally a rural area. The urban barangays cover 83.10 hectares or 2.01% of the
total land area only whereas the rural barangays occupy 4,033.97 hectares or 97.98% ot the total land
area. Refer to Table 1 for the approximate distribution of the land area of Lumban into 16 constituted
barangays of the municipality.
Lumban is divided into 16 barangays. Nine (9) barangays are classified as urban: Bagong
Silang, Balimbingan, Maracta, Primera Parang, Primera Pulo, Salac, Segunda Parang, Segunda Pulo,
and Sto. Niño while the rest of the barangays are classified as rural. Please refer to Table 1 for more
details. Other information pertaining to the political subdivision of the municipality is shown in
Figure 2.
The total land area of Lumban is equivalent to 4,117 hectares which is classified into four (4).
Majority of the land uses fall into the Alienable and Disposable land classification, or those lands of
the public domain which have been the subject of the present system of classification and declared as
not needed for forest, mineral purposes or national parks. It has an aggregate total of 3,731.55 or
90.63% of the total land area (TLA) of Lumban.
The Caliraya-Lumot Rivers Forest Reserve, declared under Presidential Proclamation No.
573, s. 1969 which is managed by the National Power Corporation, has a total land area of 130.92
hectares or 3.18% of the TLA of Lumban. The remaining 6.18% of the TLA of Lumban is the water
bodies, Lumban-Pagsanjan River and Caliraya Lake, which has an aggregate total of 254.53 hectares.
Lumban is underlain by Quartenary rocks of volcanic origin. The formation is the most
extensive in the whole province, especially in the eastern portion, and is uncomfortably overlying the
elder rock series. These rocks surround the volcanic plugs or the cones and consist mostly of
pyroclastic and/or volcanic materials which consist of cinder, tuff, lapilli tuff, and rarely
conglomerate. Clay deposits are usually associated with the volcanic rocks.
Aside from volcanic activity, the physiography was influenced by movements along the
Marikina and Lipa fault. The Lipa fault is characterized by a prominent fault scarp along the
southeastern coast of Laguna Lake. It extends beyond Lumban on the north and cuts across the
northern foothills of Mt. Nagcarlan and Mt. Lagula along the southeastern direction. Movement along
this fault may have occurred on the last phase of volcanic activity of Mt. Makiling. Small fissures are
along the fault south of Mt. Lagula simultaneously with or slightly after the eruption of Mt. Banahaw
and Mt. Cristobal. The movements along these two major faults probably induced crustal adjustment
which produce small wrench faults across Mt. Makiling.
The terrain in Lumban consists mainly of narrow plains and mountainous areas. The plains
are located in the western part of the municipality or in the barangays of Maytalang I and II, Wawa,
Concepcion, Maracta, Balimbingan, Sto. Niño, Salac, Primera Pulo, Segunda Pulo, Primera Parang,
Segunda Parang, Bagong Silang, and Balubad. Mountainous areas are found in the middle to western
part of Lumban or in the barangays of Lewin and Caliraya, and some portions of Bagong Silang and
Balubad.
On the other hand, six slope categories based on the planning guidelines were the basis of
reference for categorizing all the barangays. The barangays classified with under nearly level to level
slope (0-3% slope) are Maytalang I and II, Wawa, Concepcion, Maracta, Balimbingan, Sto. Niño,
Salac, Primera Pulo, Segunda Pulo, Primera Parang, Segunda Parang, and majority of Bagong Silang.
These barangays are highly suitable for development, although limitations of flood prone areas must
be overcome.
Gently sloping to undulating lands (3-8% slope) are found in barangays Lewin, Caliraya,
Balubad, and a small portion in Bagong Silang. Undulating to rolling lands (8-18% slope), rolling to
moderately steep (18-30% slope), steep (30-50% slope), and very steep (>50% slope) are located in
the three (3) barangays of Lewin, Balubad, and Caliraya.
2.4 Soil
Aeric Fluvaquents
The Aeric Fluvaquents belongs to the great group of Fluvaquents. Soils under these
Fluvaquents have an Aquic soil moisture regime and an isohyperthermic temperature regime. The
soils are a mixture of alluvial sediments of sand, silt, and clay incorporated sometimes with plant
residues and lacustrine shells. The soil texture is fine loamy, poorly drained, saturates, and under
water most of the time which makes the soil profile examination not possible, especially during the
peak of rainy season. The subsurface horizons range from 25 cm to 75 cm depth with mottles chroma
of greater than three (3).
Looc Series
Looc Series is a member of the fine clayey; calcareous (6.8 to 7.8), mixed, isohypothermic
family of Typic Psammaquents. They are moderately deep soils, poorly drained developed from lake
deposits consisting of sands, clays, and various humic materials exhibiting various stages of
decomposition. These soils occur originally along periphery of Laguna de Bay in the first terrace
position with slope ranging from 0.0 to 2.0 percent. The looc series is subject to seasonal lake water
flooding during rainy season.
The surface horizon of looc series consists of fine clayey textured material deposits extending
to a depth of 50 cm with characteristics of poorly drained to a very poorly drained, matrix color being
dark grayish brown to greenish gray. This horizon is slightly sticky and slightly plastic in
consistency, has weak to medium coarse angular blocky structure, and has common partially
decomposed organic materials and lacustrine shells.
The Cg horizons below 25 to 60 cm depth consist of stratified fine loamy deposits of sands,
loamy sands, and fine loamy deposits of sands, loamy sands, and permit to contain silty materials,
decaying organic humus, and some shells.
Pangil Series
The Pangil series is a member of a very fine clayey, mixed isohypothermic family of Typic
Tropaquepts. They are moderately deep to deep, very poorly drained soiles, formed in recent lake
terraces alluvium slightly above the lakeshore marsh. They are subject to slight seasonal runoff
flooding to moderately severe lake flooding, due to either combination of excess runoff or lake water
flooding and stream overflow.
Surface soil ranges from 18 to 40 cm deep, are dark greenish gray, greenish gray clay with
dark yellowish brown, reddish yellow and yellowish red mottles; and have consistencies that are
sticky and plastic, when wet.
Subsurface horizon ranges from 60 to 120 cm deep, are gray, dark gray, bluish gray, dark
greenish gray or greenish gray clay.
Substratum ranges from 120 to 300 cm deep, very dark grayish brown and dark yellowish-
brown clay with light gray to gray and greenish gray or dark grayish brown mottles. Common to
many partially and highly decomposed plant remains are present in this horizon.

soils which occurs on very steep slopes of the escarpment zone landscape. The soil ranges from 10
cm to 40 cm thich from the soil surface and covered generally with rocks and boulders which is
approximately 25 to 30 percent occurrence.
The soils under this unit derived from the weathering of andesitic and basaltic materials.
The land capability scheme used in this section grouped the soil units of the municipality according to
the best use of the land to optimize production, preserve land and prevent soil damages through
improper use. The classes indicate the general capability of the land for agricultural production and
their corresponding management requirements.

The soil unit included in this class in the aeric Fluvaquent series which is freshwater marsh. Portions
located along the lakeshores of Laguna de Bay experience moderate to severe seasonal lake flooding.
This class covers the areas bordering the lake in Barangay Maytalang I and II, and Wawa.
Soil Suitability
The soil suitability classification is a more specific method of showing the relative suitability
of the different soil units to specific crops or land uses based on the soil qualities and other limitations
which affect the specific use. Adoption of the classification is based principally on the soil physical
properties. Ratings are based on the kind, number and degree of limitations of the various soil units
for the rated specific uses.
Sites for urban development are evaluated by considering slope, erosion potential, soil
drainage, depth of water table, depth to bedrock, soil permeability, flooding hazard, stoniness and
rockiness and shrink-well potential.
The minimum requirements of potential sites including level to gently sloping, free from
flooding hazards, well-drained with deep water table, low shrink-swell potential and moderate to rapid
permeability.
These are areas with moderate limitations due to moderate erosion problems, moderate or
seasonal drainage (flooding) problems caused by runoff and slow permeability.
This class covers some parts of the barangays of Poblacion, Concepcion, Maytalang I and II,
Balubad, Caliraya and Lewin.
These are areas with soils having more than one properly unfavorable for the rated use. The
limitations are difficult and costly to modify or overcome, requiring major soil reclamation,
special design or maintenance such severe flooding or erosion.
This class covers some parts of barangays Poblacion, Maytalang I and II, Balubad and
Concepcion.
These are areas which have severe limitations which are very difficult to overcome needing
complete replacement or modifications of existing conditions. The limitations may be due to
submerged conditions or extremely severe erosion.
The suitability ratings for specific crops are based on the evaluation of degree or intensity of
limitations as they affect the specific use and the corresponding management practices. The
limitations considered are the soil condition, slope drainage, effective rooting, workability, fertility,
erosion and flooding hazards.
The soil requires proper drainage, seasonal application of fertilizers and green manuring and

2.5 Hazards
• Flood
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. It may also be defined as a
temporary covering by water of land not normally covered by water. Sources of floodwater can arise
from the sea (in the form of storm surge or coastal degradation), from rainfall (which can develop into
flash flooding when the volume of water exceeds the carrying capacity of watercourses), and from
ground infiltration.
Flooding can also occur as the result of failure of watercourses or man-made water containment
systems such as dams, reservoirs or pumping systems. The severity of floods depends on the intensity
of the source (rainfall, coastal storm surge, dam collapse, etc.), and duration. Excessive precipitation
over a brief time span can lead to flash flood conditions. The same situation may be caused by a small
amount of rain in areas where the soil is already saturated by previous wet periods, or if there are
extensive areas of impermeable surfaces such as large parking lots, paved roadways, or developed
areas (concrete replacing the natural ground cover).
Lumban is geographically located near the Laguna de Bay and the immediate cause of flooding
could be the rise of water due to heavy rains. Flooding is aggravated by artificial or human activities
such as blocking of water ways due to construction of concrete structures and clogging of drainage
canals.
Areas located along the Lumban-Pagsanjan River, and coastal areas of Laguna Lake such as
barangays Wawa, Concepcion, Maytalang I & II, and the población barangays, are severely affected
by flooding during the rainy season and heavy rains brought about by storm.
Areas affected
Four (4) barangays of Lumban have portions of high flood risk areas:
1. Wawa
2. Maytalang I
3. Maytalang II
4. Lewin
6. Salac
7. Primera Parang
8. Segunda Parang
9. Balubad
10. Bagong Silang
The only barangay which is not susceptible to any risk of flooding is Caliraya since it is located in
the highest portion of the municipality.
• Landslide
Since there are upland areas in Lumban, these portions are susceptible to landslide. Medium
to High susceptibility to landslide are found in the following barangays: Bagong Silang, Lewin,
Balubad, and Caliraya. For the low risk to landslide, barangays Primera and Segunda Parang are
exposed in addition to the four (4) mentioned barangays above.
• Earthquake-induced Landslide
Earthquake often triggers landslide occurrences. An earthquake can cause a slope to become
unstable by the inertial loading it imposes or by causing a loss of strength in the slope materials.
In Lumban, only three (3) barangays with high slope percentages are exposed to earthquake-
induced landslide. The upland barangays of Lewin and Caliraya have small portions which are
highly exposed to the risk of earthquake-induced landslide. Moreover, there are portions in
Lewin, Balubad, and Caliraya which have low-medium risk of having an earthquake-induced
landslide.
• Ground-shaking
Ground shaking, also known as peak ground acceleration (PGA), is a measure of earthquake
intensity in each geographical area. It is therefore to be distinguished from the magnitude or size of
an earthquake, which is related to the energy released. PGA values are usually expressed in terms of g
(acceleration due to Earth’s gravity).
Earthquake energy is dispersed in waves from the epicenter, causing ground movement
horizontally and vertically. PGA records the acceleration of these movements; peak ground velocity is
the greatest speed reached by the ground and peak displacement is the distance moved. These values
vary in different earthquakes, and in different sites within one earthquake event, depending on several
factors. These include the length of the fault, magnitude, the depth of the quake, the distance from the
epicenter, the duration, and the geology of the ground. Shallow-focused earthquakes generate stronger
shaking than intermediate and deep quakes since the energy is released closer to the surface.
In the case of Lumban, once a an Intensity 8 and above groundshaking hits the municipality, all
17 barangays will be affected.
• Liquefaction
Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated soil substantially loses strength and
stiffness in response to an applied stress, usually earthquake shaking or other sudden change in stress
condition, causing it to behave as a liquid. To understand soil liquefaction, it is important to
recognize the conditions that exist in a soil deposit before an earthquake. A soil deposit consists of an
assemblage of individual soil particles. Each particle is in contact with several neighboring particles.
The weight of the overlying soil particles produces contact forces between the particles. These forces
hold individual particles in place and give the soil its strength.
Liquefaction occurs when the structure of loose, saturated sand breaks down due to some rapidly
applied loading. As the structure breaks down, the loosely packed individual soil particles attempt to
move into a denser configuration. In an earthquake, however, there is not enough time for the water
in the pores of the soil to be squeezed out. Instead, the water is “trapped” and prevents the soil
particles from moving closer together. This is accompanied by an increase in water pressure which
reduces the contact forces between the individual soil particles, thereby softening and weakening the
soil deposit.
In an extreme case, the pore water pressure may become so high that many of the soil particles
lose contact with each other. In such cases, the soil will have very little strength, and will behave more
like a liquid than a solid, hence the term liquefaction.
Most lowland barangays of Lumban are located along the lakeshore and the river which makes
most of it exposed to liquefaction. High susceptibility to liquefaction is found in the whole land area
of barangays Wawa, Concepcion, Maytalang II, Segunda Pulo, Primera Pulo, Balimbingan, Maracta,
Sto. Niño, Salac, Primera Parang, and Segunda Parang, and a small portion of Bagong Silang. There
is no medium risk to liquefaction in Lumban but majority of Bagong Silang, small portion of Lewin,
and a portion of Balubad are exposed to low risk to liquefaction.
The climate of Lumban is characterized by dry and wet seasons, classified as Type 3 under
Corona’s classification used by the Philippine Atmospheric Geophysical and Astronomical Services
Administration (PAGASA). The dry season usually starts in November and ends in April while the
wet season begins in May and ends in October. The amount of rainfall is at its highest from June to
September.
PAGASA, in its study in 2011, reported the projected seasonal temperature and seasonal rainfall
changes in 2020 and 2050 in Laguna under the medium-range emission scenario.
These projections were based on the PRECIS (Providing Regional Climates for Impact Studies)
Regional Climate Model using the A1B scenario. This scenario indicates a future world of very rapid
economic growth, with the global population peaking in mid-century and declining thereafter, and
where there is rapid introduction of new and more efficient technologies, with energy generation
balanced across all sources.
Seasonal Temperature
Compared to the observed baseline data from 1971 to 2000, there is a projected seasonal increase
in temperature ranging from 1.0°C to 1.9°C during the 2036-2065 period in Metro Manila. The
projected scenario indicates warmer temperatures throughout the year, particularly in the months of
March, April, May, June, July, and August. Please refer to the Table 7 below showing the temperature
observations and projections lifted from the research of PAGASA in 2018.
Seasonal Rainfall
The same PAGASA research (2018) shows that for the seasonal rainfall change, there is a slight
increase ranging from an average of 26.0% (1971 to 2000) to 29% (2036 to 2065) in annual rainfall
amount. Annual rainfall projections would be at its lowest during the months of December to
February.
However, there would be an increase (1.4% - 2.4% increase) in annual rainfall amount from
December to August.
Tropical Cyclones
The climate models of the same PAGASA Study (2018), suggest that there will be a significant
decrease to no change in the frequency of tropical cyclones experienced by the country. However,
climate models also show that intensities of tropical cyclones would significantly increase.
Changes in the different climate stimuli can greatly affect the development of the municipality.
Aside from adapting to the changing climate conditions such as urban warming, these climate stimuli
changes could potentially exacerbate the impacts of existing natural hazards such as floods. Looking
at the sensitivities and adaptive capacities of the municipality and its communities, it can be
anticipated that the vulnerability of Lumban to climate change will continue to increase if no
adaptation measures are implemented.
Lumban started their initiative to make its Local Climate Change Action Plan (LCCAP) for climate
change adaptation and mitigation and disaster risk reduction and management in 2016. It aims to
identify critical issues and challenges related to climate change and formulate adaptation measures
that must be immediately acted upon by the Municipal Government and partner organizations to save
lives, properties, and sustain local economic growth and development.
The built-up environment of Lumban makes seasonal temperature changes highly predictable and
less variable. The different climate elements such as rainfall, temperature, relative humidity,
cloudiness and wind direction and speed are recorded from the climatological station in Cavinti,
Laguna. In previous years, the province is relatively dry from March to May, and wet during the rest
of the year, particularly in areas near the southern boundary. The eastern and southernmost portions of
the town do not have a distinct season, but has rainfall more evenly distributed throughout the year.
However, effects of climate change may bring insidiously erratic expectations in weather conditions.
Lumban is naturally sensitive to flooding due to its lacustrine geophysical characteristics. Flooding
conditions could potentially become worse with the projected increase in seasonal rainfall, which in
turn could be aggravated by clogged drainage systems, improper waste disposal, encroachment on
canals, and silted waterways. The increased occurrence of flooding will further impact various
elements in the municipality. In general, households that are located near water bodies and those that
lack the capacities to adapt will greatly be affected by this hazard. The assessment of these flood risks
is further detailed in the section on disaster risk assessment.
The municipality of Lumban has invested and continuously implements initiatives for flood
mitigation such as local ordinances to address preparedness, mitigation and response. Lumban
Municipality was again tested when a Typhoon Ondoy with a 455mm rain in a span of 24 hour which
enabled 10.99 m rise in water level of Lumban River and the Laguna de Bay which resulted to
massive flooding (NOAH, 2009). Except for Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in 2012, flooding was
still experienced annually but incomparable with Typhoon Ondoy.
2.6 Resources
There are no reported existing precious minerals in Lumban. Though there are small
construction companies, they only use their land for stocking gravel and sand which they source out
from other areas. The LGU of Lumban does not entertain any kind of mining activities within their
jurisdiction. The government and residents are aware of the risks, hazards, and other consequences
mining may cause to the municipality.
The water resources of the municipality are represented by its surface water (i.e., discharge
and runoff) and groundwater (i.e., static water level and specific capacity of wells).
The stream gauging station in Bagumbayan, Pagsanjan has recorded a mean annual runoff for
Pagsanjan-Lumban River. The catchment area covers about 45 square kilometers and has an
estimated mean annual runoff of 1,171.02 millimeters. Pagsanjan-Lumban River also has a computed
mean annual discharge of 19.71 cubic meters per second (NWRC 1982).
2.6.2.1 Groundwater
Excellent groundwater resources have been identified to occur along the coastal areas of the
municipality where large deposits of alluvium are found. These alluvium materials mixed with
lacustrine deposits are, by nature, excellent sources of groundwater.
Areas of free-flowing wells have been identified and mapped in the general are of the
poblacions, while good and fair areas for groundwater development are found generally in the upland
areas.
The static water level (SWL) of Laguna province ranges from 0.3 meters to 120.43 meters
below ground surface with an average well depth ranging from 18 meters to 156 meters. Wells in the
town of Lumban has an average depth of 29 meters and has a maximum static water level of 3.25
mbgs. Further, the wells has an average well discharge ranging from 0.53 to 0.87 lps.

III. DEMOGRAPHY
3.1 Demographic Profiling
The Province of Laguna posted a total population of 3,035,081 for the 2015 census. This
represents 21.06 percent of CALABARZON’s regional total population. The Municipality of
Lumban ranked 19 out of the 30 cities/municipalities in Laguna in terms of its total population which
is 30,652. It comprises only 1.01 percent of the province’s total population. The bulk of Laguna’s
total population (67.28%) came from the six (6) cities of Laguna which are Calamba City, Sta. Rosa
City, Biñan City, San Pedro City, Cabuyao City, and San Pablo City. Meanwhile, Famy has the least
number of population contributing only 0.55% to Laguna’s total population.
Figure 11 shows bigger female population compared to male population in Lumban for the
censal years 2015 and 2010. The sex ratio is 0.99 meaning that there were 99 males for every 100
females in year 2015. Dependent population is dominated by the young with very little contribution
from the old. Moreover, the population pyramid with a very broad base indicates high fertility rate.

In 2015, Lumban recorded an aggregate rural household population of 17,227. This is almost
56 percent of the household population residing in the municipality. The rest of the 44 percent resides
in the urban areas. The increase in population in Brgy. Concepcion could be attributed from the
transfer of informal households from Brgy. Bagong Silang.
In the same year, there were 7,350 number of households recorded with an average household

POPULATION
The gross population density of Lumban is 7.74 which means there is an estimate of 774
persons per square kilometer. In the urban barangays, the population density is at 168 while in the
rural areas, the population density is only 4. It can be observed that most Lumbeños choose to reside
in the urban than in the rural. Among all the 16 barangays, the most congested is Brgy. Primera Pulo
with a population density of 523. On the other hand, the least congested barangay is Brgy. Caliraya
with 1 as its population density. The ideal population density or people per square kilometer is
between 50-100 persons.

The population of Lumban grows at 0.79 percent since year 2015. This municipal annual growth
rate has decreased significantly by .40 percent compared to the preceding censal year having a growth
rate of 1.19%.
Lumban’s annual growth rate is much lower than that of the province (2.60%), the region (2.71%)
and the national annual growth rate of 1.72%.
The highest growth rate was in 2000 with 3.35% and the lowest was in 2015 census at 0.79.
Since the establishment of a birthing facility in 2016, recorded live births in Lumban
increased. In addition, during the first months of its operation, it was free of charge until a resolution
regarding the fees was passed. It was also starting this year, that the implementation of the No Home-
Birthing Policy started. All of these factors influenced the sudden increase of live births in Lumban in
2016. From 2016-2020, the highest recorded number of births was in 2016. This year gained a total
of 359 live births with a crude birth rate of 11.62 or about 12 births per a thousand population in
Lumban.
However, in 2020, the number of live births significantly decreased. According to the Rural Health
Unit staff, since there was a COVID-19 pandemic, pregnant women without laboratory results were
not accepted in the birthing facility. Also, the facility stopped operating since it has an ongoing
application of its license to operate. Lastly, PhilHealth launched its electronic system and most
pregnant women were not yet registered.
On the other hand, average number of deaths from 2016-2020 is 166 with an average crude death rate
of 5. This means that there are 5 deaths per one thousand population in Lumban annually from 2016-
2020.

When it comes to the marital status in Lumban, table 18 shows that among the 10 years old
and over population of Lumban, majority are either married (42.84%) or single (42.59%). Moreover,
the age groups with the highest number of married people are 45-49 (1,429) and 35-39 (1,428). For
the single people, the young population–Lumbeños below 20–ranked the highest (5,807) which just
means that fertility rate in young people in Lumban is low.

Various dialects are present in the municipality, but it is still dominated by the native tongue
which is Tagalog (94%). Based on the projection from the PSA Census 2000, in 2020, there is about
3% of the population who use Bicolano dialect. Other dialects include Bisaya, Ilocano, Waray,
Hilagaynon/Ilonggo, Cebuano, and etc.
The increasing number of migrants from other parts of the country significantly account for
such variation in spoken dialects. Notably, most of them are found in barangays Caliraya, Wawa,
Concepcion, and Lewin.
All of these barangays have relatively large residential areas and are classified as rural.

As mentioned in the historical background, Lumban was one of the first towns in the
eastern portion of Laguna wherein Spaniards built a Christian community. Spanish people brought
the Roman Catholicism in the municipality and is still evident up to this day. Based on the projection
made from the PSA Census 2000 data, still, majority (92%) of the religious affiliation of Lumbeños is
Roman Catholic. Some of the other religious affiliations existing in Lumban are: Iglesia ni Cristo,
Evangelicals, Bible Baptist, etc. Other data may be seen in Table 20.

Literacy rate pertains to the percentage of the population who can read and write a
simple message in any language or dialect. For the municipality of Lumban, according to the 2015
census, majority (99.58%) of the people with ages 10 years and over are literate. It can also be
observed that there was only a minimal difference between the number of male (56) and female (47)
illiterates. In general, because of Lumban’s high literacy rate, the municipality has a great potential in
improving its economy and producing jobs which will eventually address poverty alleviation.
Table 21. Literacy of the Household Population 10 years old and Over, by Sex, 2015
Based on the latest census (2015), the total number of population of the municipality
of Lumban is 30,652 and its number of households is 7,350. In the existing situation, the population
for 2020 is estimated to be 31,882 with 7,646 number of households. At the end of this planning
period or in 2030, the projected total population of Lumban is 34,492 with an estimate of 8,272
households.

Table 1.3 below presents how population composition by School-age, Working-age, and the
Dependent Age-group and Sex affects the planning agenda of the LGU.
The enrolment participation rate per year can be inferred. For each year level, the primary
level poses the highest enrolment participation. In the secondary and tertiary levels, enrolment
participation are low than the primary level. Since the number of schools in the secondary and
tertiary level in Paete is limited and the municipality is proximate to Manila, part of Municipality’s
population did not enroll in the schools located in their locality.

There are two cemeteries in Lumban, one (1) private and one (1) public. The former is Lumban Memorial Park and the latter is Lumban Public
Cemetery. The total land area of the memorial park is 0.99 hectares while the private cemetery is 2.155 hectares. While the public cemetery is already
congested, the private cemetery still has several vacant plots. This is mainly because most Lumbeños cannot afford purchasing lots from the private
cemetery.
Collection of waste in the municipality is managed by the MENRO/SWMO comprised of four (4) administrative staff and 16 garbage collectors. The
types of waste generated in the municipality are both biodegradable and non-biodegradable. The disposal methods for such wastes are composting,
segregation, and collection through garbage trucks. There are Material Recovery Facilities in the urban and rural barangays of the municipality. Recyclable
wastes are brought directly to the accredited junkshop and segregated residual plastic wastes are disposed at the “Basurang Plastik Mo, Papalitan Ko”
program of the municipality.
The Solid Waste Management Plan of Lumban in 2015 projected the domestic waste generation for 2021 at 14,355.33 kgs./day. These are the
primary source of wastes in Lumban. The least wastes come from institutions which is 1.29 percent of waste generated.
Out of 16 barangays, eight (8) barangays have MRFs. The disposal site is in a sanitary landfill in Sta. Cruz, Laguna. The SWMO conducts continuous
IEC to encourage residents to segregate their wastes so that only the residuals will be transported to the SLF. But because of the pandemic, this poses a
problem since the staff could not conduct face to face IEC.

The MSWD Office in charge with the welfare of the vulnerable sectors of the society, the Family, Women, Children, Solo Parents, the Sick and persons

absence of holding area or Bahay Pag-asa center for temporary shelter pending court proceedings cause the delay in the implementation of CICL program and
services.

river control (150 linear meters rip rapping at Barangay Bagong Silang and Balubad on the year 2020) thru Cash for Work Program (10 days for 200

The following Table No. ____ represents the frequency of the Road Accidents from the years 2019 and 2020 and details the nature and location of which road
that the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office focus their efforts to lessen or eliminate those risk. In the table, Zamora Street from
Barangay Primera Parang up to Barangay Bagong Silang got the lowest incident rate for the past two (2) years mainly the road is a commercial identified
district with business establishments that people are engaged to gather and motorist and drivers tend to decrease speed. Second, the Lumban Bridge drastically
increased incident rate because it underwent renovations at that time with road obstructions on site. Third, Barangay Maytalang 1 Siniloan- Sta.Cruz Road,
with wide and long stretch of open road, motorist tend to increase speed while Lewin-Caliraya Road at Barangay Lewin, with elevated and winding roads due
to its geographical location situated at the foothill up to Sierra Madre Mountain rage. Lastly, Siniloan-Sta.Cruz Road mark the highest incident rate in
particular, with limited population and wider roads that motorist engaged to gain speed thus resulting to unexpected incidents.
In this manner, the Emergency Operation Center of the department was strategically built near the Main Road at Barangay Lewin near Lewin-Caliraya
Junction Road, and tactically placed for high efficiency of response to incidents. Thus the department makes continuous efforts, solutions and tactical
measures to decrease and/or eliminate the exposures to risks. For example, installing early warning signage on high risk areas in major roads with high
probability of accidents due to uneven roads, geographical difficulties, or due to human errors, suggests or recommends the council to provide better
illumination on accident prone roads and providing the local community information to educate them of this certain risk in their area.
The department also continues its efforts to strengthen its core of responders, although undermanned, prioritizing to provide them necessary trainings for
character development and equipping them the tools and equipment for rescue, to deliver the best response and assistance for Lumbeños.
