INTRODUCTION
VOLUME 3, the 2018 Biñan Eco Profile and Sectoral Situational Analysis is part and parcel of
Volume 1 (2018 Biñan Comprehensive Land Use Plan). Volume 3 shall discuss the eco profile of Binan
and provide a thorough analysis of the situation of the sectors in support of the formulation of the land
and water uses and policies. It will provide SWOT analysis, strengths and weaknesses as well as
recommendations on all subject matter.
The 2018CLUP recognized the need to the growing demand for the integration of planning for critical
resources such as upland, coastal, ancestral domain, biodiversity areas, heritage and urban greening,
which are not yet appropriately addressed by exiting local enabling policies and planning processes.
The use and management of these areas affect the LGU’s and local communities’ economic, social, and
cultural productivity.
The 2018 Biñan CLUP has adopted the ridge-to-reef or integrated watershed ecosystems management
framework to emphasize the interrelationship between the upland, lowland and coastal ecosystems.
More importantly, this 2018 Biñan CLUP is an effort to be more relevant and adaptive to the rapidly
changing conditions of land and water resources to ensure their sustainable management and
conservation for the benefit of future generations.

CHAPTER 1
HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1.1 Pre and Hispanic Period
When the Philippines was re-discovered in 1521 in the name of Spanish Monarchy, by
Portuguese explorer – Ferdinand Magellan, there were already early settlements of people in the
Lake area they called La Laguna which is the early beginnings of the province. The Chinese
contact with the Philippines were merchants from either Bay, Laguna or a site on the island of
Mindoro bringing their wares to Guangzhou and Quanzhou.
Along the shoreland of Laguna Lake, Chinese porcelains and potteries were excavated
indicating the Chinese influence and culture in Laguna. Many Chinese descendants like the Lim,
Sy, Loo, Tan, Go, Sun and Lu started their trading business in Biñan.
Miguel Lopez de Legaspi Juan de Salcedo
A month after Miguel Lopez de Legaspi established Manila, Kapitan Juan de Salcedo
together with Mexican soldiers explored first the eastern areas of Laguna Lake in Rizal conquering
the settlements of people in Morong before proceeding to Pagsangjan, Nagcarlan, Majayjay and
Bay in Laguna. Bay was made the first capital town until 1688. Moving on, the Spaniards sailed
northwest landing in an area called Tabuco now Cabuyao. They travelled further north of the Lake
where they encountered fierce resistance from the native people armed with bows, arrows and
bolos in an area called Manlalaban now Malaban in Biñan.
9
Plaza Rizal, Biñan City
Eventually, the Spaniards prevailed and occupied the center of the area. To celebrate their
conquest, Kapitan Juan de Salcedo together with Father Alonzo Alvarado planted a big wooden
cross in a place where the present church of San Isidro Labrador is located. With a concelebrated
mass, the local people were immediately baptized from which the name Biñan was adopted
referring to Binyagan or place of Christian baptism.
Biñan was then established as a town under the jurisdiction of Tabuco with the Cabezas de
Barangay as the head of certain areas. With the transfer of the capital town from Bay to
Pagsangjan in 1769, Biñan separated joining Santa Rosa known as Barangay Bukol. During the time
of Kapitan Pablo Faustino in 1747, Biñan became an independent town.
For a time, the Spanish priest from Cabuyao hold mass in Biñan until the Augustinian priests
took control of the church of Biñan until 1637 when Dominican priests took over. In 1757, the
parochial priest, Father Jose Monroy appointed Antonio de Santa Rosa as the first “kapitan” of
Biñan. The town was named Parroquia de San Isidro de Biñan, its patron saint.
San Isidro Labrador Church
The San Isidro Labrador Church was built by the Augustinian but destroyed by a lightning in
the 1800s. The church became the reference point where the casa hacienda, plaza, streets,
market and houses were to be built. The means of transportation is the kalesa driven by horses. The
10
Casa Real now the old City Hall and Museum was the residence of the Domican friars administering
the large farm land under the Encomienda System of Hacienda de San Isidro Labrador de Binan.
Tax money was kept in the Casa Real by the Dominican religious order.
During the time of Laguna Governor General Gomez Perez de Dasmariñas, the whole
province was divided into 12 encomiendas, among which is Hacienda Tabuco with thousands of
hectares of land covering the towns of Calamba, Cabuyao, Santa Rosa, Biñan and San Pedro
administered by the Spanish friars. A big dam still existing today that can be made a heritage site,
was constructed in the elevated terrain barangay of Timbao in the west supplying substantial
irrigation water to the thousands of farm lands of the hacienda in the midstream and lowland areas
of Biñan through a network of rivers, gullies and canals.
Between1869–1871, Dr. Jose P. Rizal, the national hero, received formal education in Biñan
under Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz showing keen interest in schooling. He stayed in the house of
Don Jose Alberto (per Book Lolo Jose, authored by Asuncion Lopez Bantug) at the town plaza near
the church of San Isidro Labrador. There was a large farm land in Tubigan where the Mercado
family had established residence. They travelled to Biñan from Calamba by boat called casco in
the Lake or the horse driven kalesa or caruwaje.
In Biñan, old ancestral houses, part of the heritage district of Binan, are existing to the
present day built during the Spanish period by influential and rich insulares and peninsulares now
descendants of Don Jose Alberto, Jacobo Gonzales, Francisco Almeda, Conrado Potenciano,
Filomeno Gana, Maria Paz Mercado, Oscar Yaptinchay, Guido Gana Yaptinchay, Francisco
Baylon, among others.
When the Philippine Independence was proclaimed in Cavite by General Emilio Aguinaldo
on June 12, 1898, Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista from Biñan authored and read the Act of
Declaration of Philippine Independence. He was a member of the La Liga Filipina, Cuerpo de
Compromisarios and La Propaganda.
Rizal Monument
1.2 American Administration and Japanese Occupation

During the American Insular Government and Commonwealth Period in the 1900s, the
Encomienda System was abolished and all friar lands were purchased, subdivided and sold to
tenants. In Laguna, the thousands of hectares of friar lands of Tabuco and other areas was bought
for 14.4 million pesos in 1901.
11
Old Municipality of Biñan
The Casa Real was converted into a public school run by the American Thomasite teachers
sent by the American government to the Philippines to establish the public education system. A
piece of land donated by the Garcia, Yatco, Almeda and Nuque families became the site of the
Doňa Aurora Elementary School in Barangay Santo Domingo on September 29, 1937. The
monument of Dr. Jose P. Rizal at the public plaza was finished in 1918 during the incumbency of
Mayor Agustin Gana who became the governor of Laguna.
General Mateo Capinpin commanded the 21st Division of the USAFE receiving the general
star even before the start of WWII. When Bataan fell to the Japanese forces, he was captured and
joined the Death March. The Doña Aurora Elementary School was occupied by the Japanese Army
where many Filipino and Japanese soldiers died. Liberation of Biñan by the American forces on
February 4, 1945.
During the Spanish period, here were about 99 kapitan, alkalde and governadorcillo from Don
Antonio de Santa Rosa, the first kapitan in 1757 to Don Josualdo Gana, the last kapitan of Binan in
1898.

1.3 First Stage of Development

The post WWII period in the 1950’s and 1960s can be regarded as the first wave economic
development of Biñan consisting of small and medium and light industries. Biñan developed rapidly
involving of a few original Barrios or Nayon such as Poblacion, San Antonio, San Vicente, Canlalay,
Malaban, De La Paz, San Jose, Tubigan, Timbao, Mamplasan and Langkiwa that expanded to
outlying barangays such as Biñan, Malamig, Ganado and Loma, others, with a total of 24
barangays.
12
The public market in the Poblacion, the largest in Laguna, became the center of trade and
commerce where people from the towns of San Pedro in the north, Carmona in the west and
Santa Rosa in the south do their marketing for cheap products. Farm products and dry goods as far
as Manila, Batangas, Cavite and Quezon goes to Biñan public market by jeepney, trucks and bus
with transport terminal in Biñan.
The PNR passenger and cargo trains stop in San Vicente from Tutuban to Bicol. Kalesa
making was pioneered by the Perez family. The Almazora made truck and the Classic front seater
“Jardinera” bus bodies originated in Biñan. Laguna and Biñan Transit buses later De La Rosa Transit,
Tritran and JAM travel throughout Metro Manila, Luzon and other island provinces. The Chinese
business community also contributed to the rapid growth of commerce and trade in Biñan
centered in the Poblacion area with annual Chinese festivals of fireworks and dragon dances.
Movie houses such as Biñan Theatre, Ligaya, Victory, Midtown, Vygy’s and Zenith provided celluloid
film entertainment.
Biñan PNR Station
The home based puto making industry started in Barangay San Vicente and pinipig or rice
crispies of Canlalay, became trademarks of Biñan. Barangay Malaban, DeLa Paz, San Jose, San
Antonio and Platero were producing thousands of labors intensive making of slippers, footwear and
garments distributed in Baclaran and Divisoria. In Barangay Platero, the hat making industry was
exporting their products throughout the country. The handmade stainless owner and passenger
jeepney along the national highway of Platero became famous emulated by Sarao Motor in Las
Piñas and Amante Motor in San Pablo. Laguna Mills manufacturing towels and garments for export
and domestic use.
13
Shoe Making Hat Making
Special Puto Biñan
Over the years, these home-based and light industries especially the shoes, slippers and
garments disappeared gradually severely affected by the boom and bust cycle of business
dislocating residents and creating unemployed workers with chain reaction effect on the local
economy. Blame its demise to globalization, foreign competition, low prices of finished products,
peso value fluctuations, smuggling, among others. From light industry, employment shifted towards
services in transport, construction, factory manufacturing, retail and wholesale trade and even
overseas employment as option of last resort for some.
Biñan had notable personalities in the local and national limelight: Dr. Jorge Garcia, a
world-renowned heart surgeon who operated on many heart patients, Secretary of Education
Dr. Isidro Carino, Constitutional Commissioner and NAPOLCOM first Chairman Brigadier General
Crispino de Castro, bandmaster Maestro Laureano Carino, Justice Milagros German, Associate
Supreme Court Justice, first Ombudsman Conrado Vasquez and Dr. Discoro Umali of UP Los Baños.
Malacanang Secretary Leonora Vasquez – de Jesus and HIGC President Wilfredo Hernandez also
brought honors to Biñan. Indeed, many local people with humble beginnings completed tertiary
education and excelled in their chosen professions working as lawyers, doctors, engineers,
businessmen, others becoming productive citizens of Biñan.
1.4 Second Stage of Development

The second wave of economic development occurred in the 1970s with the national policy
of dispersal of industries outside of Metro Manila especially in the southern portion of Laguna,
Quezon and Batangas. The construction and opening of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX) from
Nichols to Alabang later to Calamba triggered the past face commercial and industrial
development of the first and second district of Laguna. Entrance and exits were opened along the
SLEX especially Carmona, Southwoods and Mamplasan in Biñan.
It was a new era of modernization, commercialization and industrialization. It is

characterized by massive conversion of privately owned agricultural lands into commercial,
industrial and residential uses in the 1980’s. Some lands sequestered by the government were given
to farmers with Certificate of Land Ownership Award (CLOA) under the land reform program. These
14
lands were later bought and consolidated by big corporations like Ayala Land, Eton, Greenfield
and LIIP. Eventually, agricultural production of rice, poultry and livestock substantially declined over
the years as a result of massive conversion. Residential areas significantly increased in many
barangays with many housing subdivisions.
The Laguna Technopark Inc. (LTI) located in Barangay Biñan, Loma and Timbao was a
partnership between Mitsubishi Corporation of Japan and Ayala Land. Santa Rosa’s territory
occupied a portion of the LTI bounded by a river. The Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP)
situated in Barangay Mamplasan, is a joint venture between Solid Industries and Samsung of Korea.
The locator companies many of which were Japanese and Korean sub-contractors started
operating in the 1980’s and 1990’s until today.
Laguna Technopark (Business Area)
The multinational companies involved in electronics, semi-conductors, automotive spare

parts, metals, tires, food and logistics accredited by PEZA makes Biñan a part of the global business
community. United Laboratories established its operations in Barangay Zapote. Brand name
companies such as Toshiba, Samsung, Honda Parts, Furukawa, Takata, TDK, Hitachi, Isuzu, Amkor
Anam, Gardenia, DHL, Cummins, Daiwa Seiko, SC Johnson, Atlas Copco, among others, were the
big locator companies. Modern telecom facilities were installed by Intelco, PLDT, Globe and Smart
with landlines and wireless services.
Modern shopping malls and super markets like Pavilion, Puregold, SM Savemore and
Umbria; fast food centers of Jollibee, Mcdonalds, Chowking; colleges, universities like Brent
International School, De la Salle, University of Perpetual Help, San Agustin, Don Bosco; hospitals like
Perpetual Help and Biñan Doctors; and high end residential housing communities like Verdana,
Jubilation, Ayala Villages can be found and operating in Biñan. Commercial banks like BDO, BPI,
PNB, Metro Bank, Security Bank, others including GFIs – Land Bank and DBP are doing business.
Migrants from all over the country as well as Metro Manila established their residence
particularly transients working in the industrial barangays of Mamplasan, Malamig, Bungahan,
Biñan, Loma, Ganado, Timbao and Santo Tomas. Pavilion Mall provided modern lifestyle shopping.
A new business district in San Francisco Halang with the Megaworld investments in the Southwoods
Center is now rising complementing the water theme park – Splash Island. One Asia Business Center
is envisioned to become a master planned community within the Jubilation New Biñan. The
construction and completion of the Cavite Laguna Expressway (CALAX) that will start in
Mamplasan to Aguinaldo Highway in Cavite will open new economic and business opportunities
for Biñan.
Gross sales of registered firms in Biñan reached Pesos 27.4 billion (US$ 549 Million – Pesos 51
per dollar) in 2016 and total capitalization of Pesos 13.2 billion (US$ 254 Million) for new business.

some of the Philippines' largest industrial estates and export processing zones. Prior to its cityhood in
2010, Biñan was the richest municipality in the Philippines with an annual gross income of ₱677
million and net income of ₱250 million, as of 2007 by the Commission On Audit. According to the
2015 census, it has a population of 333,028, making it the third largest in population in the province
of Laguna, after Calamba City and Santa Rosa City.
By virtue of Republic Act 10658, signed on March 27, 2015, by President Benigno Aquino III, Biñan
has been separated from the First Congressional District of Laguna and formed the Lone
Congressional District of Biñan. The first representative, the former mayor of the City, has been
elected during the 2016 elections, unopposed.

2.2 NATURAL AND PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
2.2.1 Topography
With a total area of 4,350 hectares, Biñan is generally plain. Approximately 83.55% of its total area
has a slope of 0.0-2.5%. This slope covers all of the 24 barangays except for small portions of
Barangay San Francisco to the northwest and Barangay Biñan to the southwest. There the slope
ranges from 2.6 to 25.0%, denoting sloping to strongly sloping terrain.
• Topographic Relief
• Elevation
The elevation of the City of Biñan (taken at the center) is 23 meters (75 feet)
• Slope
Biñan’s terrain ranges from level to undulating lands. There are two types of terrain of the
City. They are as follows:
1. Level to very gently sloping – areas with slopes ranging from 0.0 – 2.5% are ideal for any
sort of development.
2. Undulating to rolling terrain – areas characterized by slopes of 2.6 – 10.0%. Biñan and
Malamig feature such terrain.

25
• Surface Drainage
Slight seasonal run-off flooding is characterized by accumulated shallow run-off.
Subsistence occurs within a short period ranging from a few hours to three days.
Situated in the low to moderately low flood plains are Barangay Soro-soro, Tubigan,
Zapote, Bungahan, Mamplasan, and Sto. Tomas. These areas as well as the lower
portions of Barangay San Francisco, Biñan, Timbao, Loma and Langkiwa experience the
above-mentioned phenomena. Floods in these areas are due to run-off accumulations
coming from surrounding elevated areas. Factors include their low physiographical
position, poor infiltration, permeability characteristics, and drainability outlet.
Moderate seasonal flooding is characterized by more frequent and deeper run-off

water, which takes a week to a few months to subside. This condition is observed in the
barangays along the lakeshore such as Malaban, Dela Paz, San Antonio, San Jose,
Canlalay and Platero. These areas serve as the catchment of water coming from the
higher regions and are characterized by poor drainability outlets, very slow infiltration
and hydraulic conductivity. As such, these are rated as very poor to non-suitable for
urban use. At present, however, these moderate flooded areas are part of the center of
the city. The critical areas when floods occur are those near the Laguna de Bay
specifically, Barangays and Malaban. During a flood, most of the houses become
waterlogged and it took weeks for the water to subside. These circumstances arise
because of poor infrastructure and drainage system.

2.2.2 Soil
• Type/Classification
Of the eleven-soil series that compose the land area of Laguna, Carmona and Gingua
series covers about two types that can only be seen in Biñan. Carmona series covers
about 2,577 hectares or 59.24 seen in Biñan's land area. Agricultural land in these areas is
primarily devoted to rice and sugar production. Gingua series, on other hand, specifically
the fine sandy type covers 315 hectares which is one of the most productive soils in Laguna
where a variety of crops especially vegetables are grown profitably. The other two basic
soil series comprising Biñan City are Guadalupe series covering 660 hectares and Lipa
series with 798 hectares. (Wikipedia)
Biñan is underlain by four soils series. These are the Carmona, Guadalupe, Lipa, and
Quinqua series.
The Carmona Series

Carmona series soils are derived from volcanic tuft material. Generally, these soils are found
at shallow to moderate depths. Drainage properties are poor as hydraulic conductivity is
moderately slow. In Biñan, there are two soil types within the Carmona series. These are the
Carmona clay loam and Carmona sandy clay loam types.
As a surface layer, Carmona clay loam is brown to light grayish-brown clay loam with few
concretions. Similar properties are exhibited by the subsoil, which is differentiated by slightly
more prevalent concretions. Boundaries for both layers are smooth and clear. Soils of this
type are suited for rice, sugar cane, corn, sweet potatoes, bananas and various kinds of
vegetables.
The substratum is light yellowish brown to light grayish-brown. Aside from colour, it has highly
weathered tuff with concretions. Topography is gently undulating to slightly rolling with
drainage from fair to poor.
The second variation, Carmona sandy clay loam, features slightly different properties. As
surface layer, it is pale brown to gray sandy clay with plenty of concretions. It is friable when
moderately dry. When wet, it is sticky and pinetic. As wet subsoil, it is pale brown to
yellowish gray plastic clay with plenty of dark brown and reddish brown concretions. When
dry, it is hard and compact. As substratum, it is highly weathered tuffaceous material.
The Carmona series covers the municipality’s western portion demarcated by a longitudinal
line drawn from the southern tip of the Biñan to the northwestern tip. The demarcation
divides the City in nearly equivalent portions where 59.24% is underlain with the soil series.
Barangays San Francisco, Soro-Soro, Tubigan, Zapote, Sto. Tomas, Bungahan and
Mamplasan, along with portions of Malamig, Biñan, Timbao, Langkiwa, Loma, Canlalay,
Santo Nino and Platero are situated throughout. Generally, the topography is undulating to
level.
The Guadalupe Series

As a surface layer with a depth of 20 cm, the soil appears very dark brown to nearly black.
Undisturbed soil is typically hard and compact and bakes easily when dry. Subject to
cultivation, it is plastic and sticky when wet. When dry, it is coarse granular and cloddy. As
subsoil, it is clay, finely granular and sticky when wet. With lighter color than that of the
surface layer, the subsoil is embedded with a zone of volcanic tuff material. Its crevices are
filled with dark colored soil leached by percolation from the surface. The substratum is a
29
massive volcanic tuff. Overall topography is undulating to rolling while susceptible to

erosion.
The Guadalupe soil series covers 15.17% of Biñan. Barangay San Jose and portions of
barangays Canlalay, Dela Paz, San Vicente, Santo Nino, Platero, Mamplasen, Poblacion,
San Antonio and Santo Domingo comprise the percentage. Soils of this type are best suited
for sugar cane.
The Lipa Series

The Lipa series generally runs deep as it provides moderately well to well drainage. The
terrain is characteristically undulating to rolling. Both the estimated hydraulic conductivity
and infiltration rates are moderate. Specific to the City is the Lipa Loam type of soil which
has the best physical characteristics among the soil types found in all of Laguna.
The subsurface soil appears brown to dark-brown and is characteristically mallow, loose
and very friable fine granular loam. Its boundary is horizontal smooth and clear. As subsoil, it
is dark brown, clay loam, and friable fine granular tuffaceous material with concretions. Its
boundary is found to be irregular and abrupt. Substratum is highly weathered tuff with
gravel and concretions, overall possessing a broken and abrupt boundary.
Lipa loam is found in the lowland areas, southeast of the City. Approximately 18.34 % of the
total land area, namely barangays Ganado, Langkiwa, Biñan, Malaming, Timbao, Loma
and Mamplasan cover the Lipa loam soils.
The Quingas Series

Quingas series is generally very deep. The well-drained soils occur on level to nearly level
terrain as well as river levees of the alluvial landscape. Hydraulic conductivity is moderately
slow as the basic infiltration rate is moderate. Specific to the City is the Quingas fine sandy
type. This type of soil is one of the most productive soils in Laguna province where a variety
of crops, especially vegetables are grown profitably.
Surface soil is typically light brown, sometimes pale brown along the riverbank. It is usually
loose and very seldom compact, except in undisturbed and higher areas. Subsoil is
characteristically light brown with heavier materials than the surface soil.
The Quingas fine sandy type covers 315 hectares or 7.24% of land along the lakeshore in
barangays Dela Paz, San Antonio, Poblacion, Sto. Niño and Santo Domingo.This type of soil
is one of the most productive in the Laguna Province where a variety of crops, especially
vegetables, can be grown profitably.

2.2.3 Hydrogeological Features:
• Groundwater Resources
Biñan has a good groundwater development due to water bearing characteristics of the
alluvium and clastic rocks underlain with the highest groundwater capacities among the
lakeshore communities. Only portions of Barangay San Francisco and Barangay Biñan are
rated as having poor groundwater sources. It is for this reason that residents utilize deep
wells for their domestic water supply.
In August 2016, Laguna Water is sourcing ground water from its Laguna Well Field consisting
of 20 deep wells and four water reservoirs that can each hold five million liters of water at a
time with an investment cost of PhP 1.6 billion. From these reservoirs, water is being
distributed to customers in Biñan, Santa Rosa and Cabuyao, 94 percent by gravity and 6
percent by pump fed. Tests showed the quality of water in this area is within the limits of
Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water. About 12,000 households in Biñan have
been connected to the Laguna Well Field.
Groundwater Quality
In 2010, WWF assessed the public wells used for drinking in Santa Rosa and Biñan using the
parameters of total coliform and e coli following the Philippine National Drinking Standards.
In Biñan, there were 676 wells servicing 1,655 households. 11 of 47 sampled wells (23%) failed
the tests. Upon investigation, many wells were observed to be poorly maintained, have
cracked bases and susceptible to flooding. Others built on or beside canals, near toilets,
piggery farms and other sources of pollution.
KEY ISSUES AND CONCERNS

Prevent further deterioration of ground water quality as well as surface waters needed by
ways of waste water treatment, sewage treatment for highly utilized areas and septic tank
treatment for less urbanized districts.
Public awareness of sanitation practices like protection from dumping of garbage,

animal/human wastes, effluent from industrial wastes and other pollutants that will affect
the quality of surface and ground water resource in the aquifer system.
The Marikina Valley Fault System crossing Biñan extend directly down to the ground water
aquifer system as conduit of recharge water highly vulnerable to pollutants and should be
protected.
Identifying illegal wells in order to regulate groundwater withdrawal or abstraction.
Surface and groundwater pollution have serious consequences on public health. Upper
respiratory tract infection is major morbidity disease. Other diseases include diarrhea, acute
gastritis and skin diseases.

2.2.4 Mineral Resources

There are no reported metallic mineral deposits in the Province of Laguna. However, the
province has non-metallic mineral deposit, such as aggregate, boulders, filling materials,
garden soil, sand and gravel, which are located in the Municipalities of Lumban,
Magdalena, Santa Cruz and Pakil, and the Cities of Calamba and San Pablo. Quarrying
and soil extraction are confined in private lands, and are strictly prohibited in major river
systems and public lands of the province.
2.2.5 Water Resources

Rivers, Lakes, and Springs
Biñan is transversed by and separated from adjacent Cities by rivers and creeks, which
drain into the Laguna Lake. Biñan River, which passes through the major built-up areas of
the City, forks into smaller rivers in Barangay Tubigan, separating Biñan from the City of
Carmona and Province of Cavite. While to the south, the Santa Rosa River separates it from
Santa Rosa. The northern side of Biñan is bound by a creek, which separates the City from
the City of San Pedro.
The fresh water ecosystem consists of its surface and ground water resources which are
both challenged with threats and in great danger of becoming sustainable. Surface waters
consists of rivers, canals, streams, ponds and brooks which are biologically dead and
cannot sustain aquatic life. Groundwater is the body of water found underneath the
ground or aquifers that needs recharging through the protection of the watershed areas
located in the western section of Silang, Cavite. Studies showed that water quality
progressively deteriorates as pollution loadings from the watershed and drainage outfalls
enter the river, creeks and canal systems.
2.2.6 Forest Ecosystem

The City of Binan has no forest.
2.2.7 Coastal Planning

Protected areas of Biñan covers the natural environment such as the shoreland and
municipal waters in Laguna Lake, river, creeks and its tributaries from the upland, midstream
and downstream, and the vanishing agricultural land. Easements in bodies of water and
setbacks along roads as buffers should be strictly observed preventing encroachment issues
and problems which are difficult to resolve.
Lying along the coast of Laguna Lake is to take advantage of its location. Creating a link
between the water body and the coastal barangays of Malaban, San Antonio, and Dela
Paz, this waterfront development, which is a 7-kilometer long development will comprise of
fisherman’s wharf and potential for eco-tourism developments as well as waterfront
commercial developments.
Strategies to preserve the integrity of the coastal areas includes the following:
• Forge agreements with DENR, LLDA, DOST, NHC, among others, giving power and authority
to Biñan in monitoring the physical conditions of the protected areas and undertake
programs and projects in the conservation of the natural and man-made protected areas.
• Strict enforcement of the provisions of the zoning ordinance and other city government
ordinances related to environment and protected areas such easements and setbacks as
well the encroachment by the informal sector families.
34
• The DRRMC Plan should integrate the protected areas in disaster risk assessment and
mitigation.
• The Barangay Council and its people should be tasked in protected areas conservation.
• Lakeshore Areas
Laguna Lake is the new frontier of mixed use development for the City of Biñan given its
limited land area for future growth and development. The long stretch of coastal areas on
Barangays San Antonio, Malaban, DeLa Paz, and Casile can be established the UN
concept of Planned City Extension (PCE) master planned for residential, commercial,
institutional, recreational and light industry. The City Extension can be connected with multi
modal transport system of ferry boats, buses, three wheeled motorbikes and jeepneys.
The master planned community can be constructed in stilts and/or land recovery in Laguna
Lake addressing the problems of flooding, environmental pollution, among others, based on
the standards of the LLDA, DENR, PRA, DPWH, among others. It can be undertaken under
the PPP or Joint Venture Arrangement.
The lakeshore areas have great potentials for water-oriented waterfront development if
said areas can be cleared of informal settlers occupying the public domain areas of
Laguna Lake. The lakeshore is a prime property for mixed use development, fisherman’s
wharf, village and market, recreational activities that would benefit the local people for
livelihood and for eco-tourism. Ferryboat Stations for Lake commuters connected to the
coastal areas of Rizal and Laguna.
Water Front Development:

1. Eco-tourism Park
2. Mixed use Commercial Development: High end residential, new commercial
development to ease congestion in Barangay Poblacion.
The basics of developing ecotourism parks provide opportunities for tourists and visitors as
well as the local communities to experience nature and culture. Local communities of Biñan
are given the opportunity to appreciate the importance of biodiversity conservation as well
as enrich their local culture. Ecotourism further generates income for conservation and
economic advantages for the locals.
The development of an ecotourism park in Barangays Casile and Malaban can satisfy
various objectives such as economic development, environmental protection, and cultural
heritage promotion.
One of the most important steps in ecotourism planning is making sure that the natural
resource is permanently protected. The national government proposed a road dike that will
be a ring road around the lake. The Eco-Tourism Park will be designed to in preparation to
connecting to this project. Engineering design is needed to protect the shore from further
subsidence. The soft soil maybe scraped and replaced with fill materials within the city.
Shoreline protection maybe revetments, which will also act as baywalk will be further
designed by other consultants.
The proposed concepts include sustainable development, inclusive growth, and multiple-
destination marketing. The Eco-Tourism Park has a multi-layered function, serving the social,
cultural and economic function specifically:
▪ Creation of places for recreation
35
▪ Development of public gathering place

▪ Promotion of public health benefits through sports facilities
▪ Creation of civic and cultural infrastructure for cultural enrichment
▪ Protection of natural resources and biodiversity thru landscaping
▪ Shaping patterns of development through open spaces
Located along the lake, it is a possible entry port to the city, the Eco-Tourism Park will
change the outlook of the citizens of Biñan. It will have a diversity of users and multilayer of
uses, not just an open space It will have three basic components: a) Public Park with
children’s playground and other sports facilities, b) Transportation multi-modal terminal with
Port for passenger ferry and fishing boats, and other transport related facilities such as
terminal for public utility vehicles, and parking areas c) Complementing Facilities such as
Food parks, Restaurants, Kiosks, Amphitheater, and others.
The park can serve the City by providing a public gathering place. It must meet a wide
range of community recreation and social needs. Development will focus on both active
and possible recreation, with a wide array of programmed activities often being
accommodated. This type of park encompasses unique and extensive landscape features.
A variety of landscapes are desirable ranging from natural open space to maintained
active recreation areas.
Park Components:
▪ Proximity: within specific driving time of every resident; entry port from Manila
using the river ferry; fishing port
▪ Accessibility: Physically accessible by foot, bicycle or public transport and
visually accessible for the greater public
▪ Equity: providing facilities and program evenly across socio-economic
populations
▪ Coordination: Combining park objectives with other functional or jurisdictional
plans
▪ Balance: Offering a mix of places and activities throughout the place
▪ Sustainability: Determining physical and financial methods to support the park
and open space system
▪ Urban Design: addressing the way the park relates to the structures around it

2.4 ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS

2.4.1 Location/Distribution/Condition of:
• Fish Sanctuaries
• Coral Reefs
• Seagrass Beds
The Laguna de Bay Lake

Bordering Biñan on the east is the largest lake in the Philippines, Laguna de Bay also referred
to as Laguna Lake. The lake has a total surface area of 90,000 hectares an average depth
39
of 2.8 meter and a total volume of 3.2 billion m3. Its water drains to Manila Bay via Pasig
River. Laguna de Bay lake is also the source of fresh water fishes such as tilapia, dalag,
kanduli, hito, biya, and ayungin, among others, which generate income for small-scale
fisherfolks. There are 21 tributaries contributing to the lake. Among these are the rivers
traversing through Biñan.
Thus far, the lake is only suitable for aquaculture, fisheries, recreational activities and
industrial extraction for cooling machinery. Status of groundwater quality in the area
necessitates Laguna Lake’s role as an alternative domestic water supply source. Although
the lake is naturally euphoric and highly productive, it is polluted as a result of human
activities in the watershed transported by tributaries or through direct discharge into the
lake. For example, temperature pollution caused by the cooling of industrial machinery and
loss of riparian vegetation unnecessarily raises water temperatures which influences the
dissolved oxygen process, photosynthesis rates, and metabolic rates of aquatic organisms.
2.4.2 Classification of Bodies of Water within the City

Biñan River covering 33.70 hectares has its origin in the western side of Carmona forking
towards Soro-Soro, Tubigan, San Vicente in the midsection of Biñan traversing the Poblacion
area before going downstream in the water catchment areas of Laguna Lake. The river
needs de-silting, riprapping, slope protection and bridge retrofitting to prevent flash
flooding particularly in the midsection and lakeshore barangays. Due to heavy volume of
flood water during the monsoon season, the narrow and silted river particularly in the
downstream areas have limited capacity to contain flood waters.
Water Catchment
Due to the good water bearing capabilities of the alluvium and clastic rock underlain Biñan,
groundwater resources are accessible. Two categories of wells were identified. Potential
areas of saline intrusion are identified as well.
Potential areas of saltwater intrusion

Saltwater intrusion is a perceived problem should water from Manila Bay flush into the lake
and lakeshore communities exceed the safe yield limits of their aquifers.
Potentially high yielding wells

In areas, aside from the lakeshore barangays and barangays San Francisco, Soro-Soro,
Canlaylay, San Jose, Santo Domingo, Tubigan, San Vicente, San Antonio, Santo Nino,
Platero, Zapote, Calabuso, Bungahan and Mamplasan, the City can utilise high yielding
wells.
Deep-well areas
Barangays Langkiwa, Loma, Mamplasan, Ganado, Timbao, Malamig and Binan constitute
this category.
River Preservation
Features attributed to this map refer to the preservation of ecological balance and local
fishing grounds. The river system drains to the northeast, meeting Laguna Lake.
Fishing grounds/fish pens for subsistence fishing

This category refers to the lakeside areas of Biñan whose residents rely on fishing for
sustenance and profit.
40
Rivers, streams and creeks

Easements of 3 – 30 meters from both sides throughout the entire length of any river is
considered environmentally critical. Areas within this range are subject to easement of
public use in the interest of recreation, fishing, etc.
2.4.3 Quality of Bodies of Water

Because of the problems facing and threatening the potential of the lake, then
President Ferdinand Marcos signed into law Republic Act (RA) 4850in 1966 creating
the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA), the main agency tasked to oversee the
programs that aimed to develop and protect Laguna de Bay. Though it started as a mere
quasi-government agency with regulatory and proprietary functions, its charter was
strengthened by Presidential Decree (PD) 817 in 1975 and by Executive Order (EO) 927 in
1983 to include environmental protection and jurisdiction over the surface waters of the
lake basin. In 1993, by virtue of the devolution, the administrative supervision of the LLDA
was transferred to the DENR by EO 149.
Government data showed that about 60% of the estimated 8.4 million people residing in
the Laguna de Bay Region discharge their solid and liquid wastes indirectly to the lake
through its tributaries. A large percentage of these wastes are mainly agricultural while
there are either domestic or industrial. According to DENR, domestic and industrial wastes
contribute almost equally at 30% each. Meanwhile, agricultural wastes take up the
remaining 40%. In a recent sensitivity waste load model ran by the Laguna Lake
Development Authority's (LLDA) Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) division,
it revealed that 70% of biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) loadings came from
households, 19% from industries, and 11% came from land run-off or erosion (LLDA, 2005).
As far as industries and factories are concerned, there are about 1,481 and increase is
expected. Of the said figure, about 695 have wastewater treatment facilities. Despite this,
the lake is absorbing huge amounts of pollution from these industries in the forms of
discharges of industrial cooling water, toxic spills from barges and transport operations, and
hazardous chemicals like lead, mercury, aluminum and cyanide. Based from the said figure,
65% are classified as “pollutive” industries.
Surface Water Quality

Results of water quality sampling of Biñan River done by LLDA Station 7 in 2009 to 2012
showed poor water quality. Dissolved Oxygen (DO) consistently failed the standard for Class
C waters (for fishery water for the propagation and growth of fish and aquatic resources;
recreational water class II like boating; and industrial water supply class 1 (for
manufacturing processes after treatment). Coliform also failed. This information was
reflective of the contribution of untreated domestic waste water, commercial and industrial
wastes and solid wastes entering the river and its tributaries. Water quality progressively
deteriorates as pollution loadings from the watershed and drainage outfalls enter the river.

2.4.4 Probable Sources of Pollution

Environmentally Critical Areas
The environmentally critical areas are concentrated in the northeastern portions as well as
areas scattered throughout which constituting nearly 60% of the area or 2,509 hectares
indicating thepresence of flood prone areas and fault zones. Non-environmentally critical
areas constitute the remainder of the City.
Non- Environmentally Critical Areas

The non-environmentally critical areas comprise remaining portions of the City found
suitable for future urban development are portions of San Francisco, Soro-Soro, Canlaylay,
San Jose, Tubigan, San Vicente, San Antonio, Platero, Santo Nino, Zapote, Calabuso,
Bungahan, Ganado, Langkiwa, Timbao and Biñan.
Industrial Area
Industrial areas are synonymous with air and noise pollution. As such, acceptable levels
have been established by DENR to curb their negative impacts to surrounding areas.
Biñan Air Quality

Since Biñan follows DENR policy on air pollution, the City does not experience poor air
quality.
The natural environment of Biñan can be categorized into the following ecosystems: Urban,
Freshwater, and Low Land Agriculture. No marine, forest and mineral resource ecosystem.
The urban eco system consists of commercial, industrial, residential, institutional and
recreational activities and establishments occupying three fourths of the total 4,350 land
area. The urban issues and problems are related to waste management (solid and liquid,
vehicle emissions, noise and odor nuisance, flash flooding, road traffic congestion, urban
blight of the CBD, among others.
2.4.5 Hazards
The City of Biñan has always been subjected to constant natural disaster and calamities.
Earthquake and flood are some of the geological hazards that carry threat to the city. The
City lies along flood-path of Laguna which makes it prone to flooding cases. The location of
the city is one of the vulnerabilities that had been observed. Due to this, one of the hazards
42
that frequently occur in the city is flood. There are some barangays that has been critically
affected by the typhoons.
Earthquake is one of the geological hazards that bring threat to everyone. A PHIVOLCS
study on the Marikina Valley Fault System implies an approximate fault line running through
the city. The fault transverses through the following barangays: Biñan, Timbao, Langkiwa,
Sto.Tomas, San Antonio, San Vicente and Canlalay. From there, it can be traced
northwestwardly parallel to the lakeshore of the northern portion of the City. The CLUDP
2000-2015 comprehensive plan states that the most critical area is in Barangay San
Francisco where there is a presence of a fault line. Other hazards that frequently occurs are
falling trees, fire, landslide, and grassfire.
2.4.5.1 Hydrometerological Hazard

• Rain Induced Landslide
The Province of Laguna is characterized by different soil series and slope ranges. Slope
ranges from level to very gently sloping which is 0 – 3%; gently sloping to undulating, 3 – 8%;
undulating to rolling, 8 18%; rolling to hilly 18 – 30%, steep hills, 30 – 50%; to very steep hills,
greater than 50%. The following figure represents the slope ranges of the entire province.
The lack of upstream vegetation has resulted to erosion in the lower reaches of river systems
(reduced bank full capacity) and sedimentation of Laguna Lake (reduced flood detention
volume capacity). Denudation of forest areas and land conversion resulting from the
urbanization and industrialization of the region has caused much of the problem. Flash
floods and mudslide scarrying tons of sediment and solid waste have become more
frequent in recent years.
For the sensitivity index, the variables used are slope, rainfall, land cover and soil type.
Results show that Los Banos and Majayjay have equal sensitivity value of 0.64 which is
moderate. The least sensitive municipality is Santa Rosa with only 0.20. Both Los Banos and
Majayjay is located in mountainous areas therefore there are presence of slopes making it
very sensitive to erosion.
The Municipality of Magdalena and Majayjay both have the greatest exposure of 0.73.
Several municipalities on the other hand have the lowest value of 0.20. And these are:
Alaminos, Bay, Biñan, Cabuyao, Rizal, San Pablo City, Sta. Cruz, and Santa Rosa. Indicators
used in the determination of the exposure index are presence of denuded areas, upland
areas and kaingin areas.
(Laguna PDPFP 2010-2020)
• Flooding
Moderately flooding
The City’s flood-prone areas are found on the level lands along the lakeshore. These include
the following barangays: Dela Paz, Malaban, Poblacion, San Jose, Santo Domingo, San
Antonio, Casile, and Platero.
Moderate seasonal flooding is characterized by more frequent and deeper run-off water,
which takes a week to a few months to subside. This condition is observed in the barangays
along the lakeshore such as Malaban, Dela Paz, San Antonio, Canlalay and Platero. These
areas serve as the catchment of water coming from the higher regions and are
characterised by poor drainability outlets, very slow infiltration and hydraulic conductivity.
As such, these are rated as very poor to nonsuitable for urban use. At present, however,
these moderately flooded areas are part of the poblacion.
43
Low Flooding
Flooding usually occurs when there is a heavy rainfall and overflow of rivers. When river can
no longer contain the heavy rainfall as well as run-off from the nearby municipalities and
parts of Cavite, overflow happens. However, in most barangays, flood usually reach the
ankle. Very occasional that flood is knee-deep or high waist. Barangays in low-lying areas
and those along the lakeshore are more prone to flooding. Subsistence last for two hours.
Slight seasonal run-off flooding is characterised by accumulated shallow run-off.

Subsistence occurs within a short period ranging from a few hours to three days. Situated in
the low to moderately low flood plains are barangays Soro-Soro, Tubigan, Zapote,
Bungahan, Mamplasan, Calabuso. These areas as well as the lower portions of Barangay
San Francisco, Biñan, Timbao, Loma and Langkiwa experience the abovementioned
phenomena. Floods in these areas are due to run-off accumulations coming from
surrounding elevated areas. Factors include their low physiographical position, poor
infiltration, permeability characteristics, and drainability outlet.
• Storm Surge
There is no available data on the history of a storm surge occurenceaffecting the City of
Biñan.
• Geologic Hazard
The Province of Laguna is strongly exposed to earthquake due to the presence of Marikina
Valley Fault System. The system traverses in north to south direction. Geologic hazards map
and shows that Marikina Valley Fault System crosses several municipalities of Laguna and
some parts of Cavite. Thereby the potential of risk to earthquake is imminent. A 1996
Phivolcs study on the Marikina Valley Fault system implies an approximate fault line running
through the City. The fault traverses through Barangays Binan, Malamig and San Francisco.
West Valley Fault System (WVFS) is composed of two major northeast trending faults. The
East Valley Fault and the West Valley Fault, traverse the Marikina Valley and the adjoining
cities of San Pedro, Biñan and Calamba as well as some portions of eastern Metro Manila.
According to Phivolcs, the fault line is active and further study is being conducted. Fault
line is one where vertical or lateral movement (displacement) is likely to occur. Movement
along the fault line causes earthquake with accompanying destruction of property and
even loss of live.
(DRR/CCVA)
• Tsunami
There is no available data on the history of a tsunami occurence affecting the City of Binan.
• Liquefaction
Soil liquefaction describes a phenomenon whereby a saturated or partially 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 like a liquid.
All the Laguna cities and municipalities along lakeshore areas are prone to liquefaction.
These include San Pedro, Biňan, Sta. Rosa, Cabuyao, Calamba, Los Banos, Bay, Victoria,
Sta. Cruz, Pagsanjan, Lumban, Kalayaan, Paete, Pakil, Pangil, Siniloan, Mabitac, Famy, and
Sta. Maria. There is no historical occurrence of liquefaction and earthquake induced
landslide in the Province of Laguna. However, the province is still susceptible to these
hazards based on the map generated by the Ready Project (Community-Based Hazards
44
Mapping) and Provincial Planning and Development Office in coordination with PHIVOLCS
and NEDA IV-A.
Based on assessment liquefaction map, the towns of Bay, Biñan, Cabuyao, Calamba,
Calauan, Famy, Kalayaan, Los Banos, Lumban, Mabitac, Paete, Pakil, Pangil, Pila, San
Pedro, Siniloan, Sta. Cruz, Sta. Rosa, and Victoria are highly susceptible. All towns except
Alaminos, Cavinti, Liliw, Luisiana, Majayjay, Rizal and San Pablo are moderately susceptible
and other municiplaities have low susceptibility levels. (DRR/CCVA)
• Earthquake Induced Landslide

For earthquake induced landslide hazard, the Laguna towns of Calauan, Famy, Kalayaan,
Pakil, Pangil, Paete Rizal, and Sta. Maria have high susceptibility levels, Luisiana, Lumban
and Majayjay for the moderate susceptibility level and the low susceptibility level towns
include Alaminos, Bay, Calamba, Cavinti, Liliw, Los Baños, Mabitac, Magdalena,
Nagcarlan, Pagsanjan, San Pablo, San Pedro and Siniloan. (DRR/CCVA)

2.4.6 Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment

Climate and Rainfall
The climate of Biñan is characterized by two pronounced seasons; dry from November to
April and wet during the rest of the year. Maximum rainfall occurs from June to September
with an annual average rainfall of 200 mm. Biñan is protected by mountains in the
peripheral areas, and thus it is making the area cooler.
Temperature and Humidity

Highest temperatures usually occur during the month of May at 30º C. Lows occur during
the month of January. The average relative humidity is 81%, lower than that of Metro Manila
indicating cooler temperatures for the City.
Wind Speed and Direction

Predominant wind directions are northeasterly from October to April and southwesterly from
June to September. Predominantly south winds occur throughout the month of May.
Rainfall and Rainfall Intensity

During the wet season from June to September, the area experiences an annual average
rainfall of 2000 mm with a peak of 400 mm in August and a low of 4 mm in March. Although
the Cityis located in the typhoon belt of the Philippines, outlying mountain areas protect
Biñan.

• Projections
Climate Change Projections for the Philippines

Climate change scenarios are developed using climate models which use mathematical
representations of the climate system, simulating the physical and dynamic processes that
determine global/regional climate. For the Philippines, PAGASA used the PRECIS (Providing
Regional Climates for Impact Studies) model developed by the UK Met Hadley Centre to
facilitate impact, vulnerability and adaptation assessments in developing countries where
54
capabilities to do climate modeling are still not fully developed or do not exist. Two time slices
centered on 2020 (2006-2035) and 2050 (2036-2065) were used in the climate simulations using
three emission scenarios; namely, the A2 (high-range emission scenario), the A1B (medium-
range emission scenario) and the B2 (low-range emission scenario). Also, the future climate
can be modeled with scientific climate models, but only with uncertainties.
Climate Projections in 2020 and 2050 in Provinces in Region 4-A (CALABARZON)

The projected seasonal temperature increases, seasonal rainfall change and frequency of
extreme events in 2020 and 2050 under the medium-range emission scenario in the provinces in
Region 4-A are presented in Table s, Table b and Table c, respectively.
Being a part of Region IV or the Southern Tagalog Province, also called the Circum-Pacific Belt
of fire and typhoons, we have always been subjected to constant natural disaster and
calamities. The great oceans around it, while providing wide avenues for international trade
and commerce, as well as source of tremendous marine resources, also serve as the spawning
areas of destructive typhoons and monsoons. The possibility of experiencing the gloom and
start reality on disasters such as fire, flood, typhoons, tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, and
their resultant toll in the lives and properties of our people is always present. Everyone, even in
the safety of our homes, has not been spared the sight northe feeling of loss by the disasters
and calamities, not as an abstract tragedy, but the picture of stunned faces of the survivors.
Therefore, the necessity for an advanced and effective plan preparing the populace in the
face of disasters, natural or provoked by man, is a must. Thus, the City of Biñan has the
responsibility to ensure the welfare and safety of its constituents due to the increasing events of
calamities caused by the climate change and global warming affecting lives and properties,
hampering the normal living condition and quality of life of the people.
• Potential Effects
Relationship of Climate Change and Disasters

Climate change can increase the frequency and severity of climate and weather-related
hazard events such as typhoons, extreme rainfall, and drought, leading to worsening disaster
impacts. Gradual changes in rainfall parameters (such as sea level rise, changes in mean
temperature, and changes in rainfall pattern) can exacerbate geophysical and ecological
hazard events. For example, changes in precipitation patterns can increase potential for
landslides; while sea level rise can contribute to coastal erosion.

Figure 4. Local Climate Change Action Planning Framework
The Biñan City Climate Change Action Plan 2016-2019 is anchored on the National Framework
Strategy on Climate Change (NFSCC) which was adopted in April 2010 with the following Guiding
Principles (Office of the President Climate Change Commission 2010):
1. The Framework envisions a climate risk-resilient Biñan City with healthy, safe, prosperous and
self-reliant communities, and thriving and productive ecosystems.
56
2. The goal is to build the adaptive capacity of communities and increase the resilience of natural
ecosystems to climate change, and optimize mitigation opportunities towards sustainable
development.
3. Biñan City as a key city in the Philippines which is a State Party to the United Nations Framework
Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), is committed to the country’s core principle of
common but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities.
4. The precautionary principle guides the city’s climate change framework and shall take
precautionary measures to anticipate, prevent or minimize the causes of climate change and
its adverse effects. Where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full
scientific certainty should not be used as a reason for postponing such measures.
5. The Framework is risk-based, and strategies/activities shall be formulated, with decisions made
based on the causes, magnitude and impact of risks.
6. Climate change knowledge is science-based, and shall draw from scientific contributions and
best practices from communities taking into considerations local circumstances.
7. The key priorities shall be adaptation and mitigation, with an emphasis on adaptation as the
anchor strategy. Whenever applicable, mitigation actions shall also be pursued as a function of
adaptation.
8. Adaptation measures shall be based on equity, in accordance with common but differentiated
responsibility; special attention must be given to ensure equal and equitable protection of the
poor, women, children and other vulnerable and disadvantaged sectors.
9. Even with inadequate scientific information, anticipatory adaptation measures should be

undertaken to prevent or minimize the causes and potential impacts of climate change,
whenever necessary.
10. The framework adopts the Philippine Agenda 21 for Sustainable Development, to fulfil human
needs while maintaining the quality of the natural environment for current and future
generations.
11. The principle of complementation shall be observed to ensure that climate change initiatives
by one sector do not restrict the adaptation of other sectors.
12. The Framework recognizes the roles of agencies and their respective mandates as provided by
law. The Framework also recognizes the principle of subsidiary and the role of barangays as
front-liners in addressing climate change.
13. The Framework reorganizes the value of forming multi-stakeholder participation and
partnership in climate change initiatives, including partnerships with civil society, the private
sector and barangays, and especially with the urban poor and other marginalized groups most
vulnerable to climate change impacts.
14. Policy and incentive mechanism to facilitate private sector participation in addressing
adaptation and mitigation objectives shall be promoted and supported.

• Potential Impacts
GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TEMPERATURE INCREASE
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION
The City of Biñan is prone to all forms of disaster either natural or man-made disaster. Biñan is
highly organized and center of industrialization. Because of its rapid growth of population
and industrialization it is just proper and fitting for the City of Biñan to prepare disaster plan
in terms of food relief and rehabilitation geared toward immediate response to the needs
and recovery of the victims, and to control or limit the loss of lives, property and miseries of
people.
Under the Executive Order No. 13 Series of 2017, an order was issued for reconstituting the
Biñan City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (BDRRMC) pursuant to the
Republic Act No. 10121 that defines its functions and providing funds thereof. It is a need to
reconstitute the BCDRRMC for the term 2017 – 2019 to further promote the involvement and
participation of all sectors and stakeholders in the adoption of holistic, comprehensive,
integrated and proactive Disaster Risk Reduction and Management approach that is
geared towards mitigating socio-economic and environmental impacts of disasters
including climate change.
For the compliance to Republic Act 10121 ‘Philippine Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Act of 2010, the city structured their Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan. The organization and coordination of Disaster Risk Reduction Plan
validates the city on having Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council Plan. This
includes the presence of the Disaster Risk reduction and Management Plan, the DRRM
Office that implements the DRRM Plan, local executive order that mandates the
implementation of DRRM Plan. For the organization and coordination of Annual Disaster Drill
and Early Warning System, the council conducted a LGU-wide disaster drill and prepared
the early warning system that integrates professional responders and grassroots
organization.
Implementation of this plan aims to promote maintaining a healthy and safe house,
cleaning and proper waste disposal, safety measures against diseases and disaster
preparedness. A house should be a place where everybody in the family would feel safe
and secure and a healthy family makes a habit of cleanliness. Hence, maintaining the
house and good condition is necessary.
SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
• Biñan City’s Hazards and Disasters
The City of Biñan has always been subjected to constant natural disaster and calamities.
Earthquake and flood are some of the geological hazards that carry threat to the city. The
city lies along flood-path of Laguna which makes it prone to flooding cases. The location of
the city is one of the vulnerabilities that had been observed. Due to this, one of the hazards
that frequently occur in the city is flood. There are some barangays that has been critically
affected by the typhoons.
Earthquake is one of the geological hazards that bring threat to everyone. A 1996
PHIVOLCS study on the Marikina Valley Fault System implies an approximate fault line
running through the city. The fault transverses through the following barangays: Biñan,
58
Timbao, Langkiwa, Sto.Tomas, San Antonio, San Vicente and Canlalay. From there, it can
be traced northwestwardly parallel to the lakeshore of the northern municipality. The CY
2000-2015 comprehensive plan states that the most critical area is in Barangay San
Francisco where there is a presence of a fault line. Other hazards that frequently occurs
are falling trees, fire, landslide, and grassfire.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES TEMPERATURE INCREASE

• Flooding
Slight seasonal run-off flooding is characterized by accumulated shallow run-off.
Subsistence occurs within a short period ranging from a few hours to three days. Situated in
the low to moderately low flood plains are Barangay Soro-soro, Tubigan, Zapote, Bungahan,
Mamplasan, and Sto. Tomas. These areas as well as the lower portions of Barangay San
Francisco, Biñan, Timbao, Loma and Langkiwa experience the above-mentioned
phenomena. Floods in these areas are due to run-off accumulations coming from
surrounding elevated areas. Factors include their low physiographical position, poor
infiltration, permeability characteristics, and drainability outlet.
Moderate seasonal flooding is characterized by more frequent and deeper run-off water,
which takes a week to a few months to subside. This condition is observed in the barangays
along the lakeshore such as Malaban, Dela Paz, San Antonio, San Jose, Canlalay and
Platero. These areas serve as the catchment of water coming from the higher regions and
are characterized by poor drainability outlets, very slow infiltration and hydraulic
conductivity. As such, these are rated as very poor to non-suitable for urban use. At present,
however, these moderate flooded areas are part of the center of the city. The critical areas
when floods occur are those near the Laguna de Bay specifically, Barangays and Malaban.
During a flood, most of the houses become waterlogged and it took weeks for the water to
subside. These circumstances arise because of poor infrastructure and drainage system.

Relationship of Climate Change and Disasters

Climate change can increase the frequency and severity of climate-and weather-related hazard
events such as typhoons, extreme rainfall, and drought, leading to worsening disaster impacts.
Gradual changes in rainfall parameters (such as sea level rise, changes in mean temperature,
and changes in rainfall pattern) can exacerbate geophysical and ecological hazard events. For
example, changes in precipitation patterns can increase potential for landslides; while sea level rise
can contribute to coastal erosion.

The risk assessment data and information were obtained from the Barangay consultations in July –
August 2017 using survey instruments of DOST-MGB Geo Hazards parameters.
Flood Susceptibility Parameters
A. High Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights ofgreater than 1.5 meters and/or flood duration of more
than 3 days. These areas are immediately flooded during heavy rains of several hours; include
landforms of topographic lows such as active river channels, abandoned river channels and areas
along riverbanks; also, prone to flashfloods.
B. Moderate Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights of 0.5 to 1.5 meters and/or flood duration of 1 to 3 days.
These areas are subject to widespread inundation during prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall or
extreme weather condition. Fluvial terraces, alluvial fans, and in filled valleys are areas moderately
subjected to flooding.
C. Low Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights of less than 0.5 meter and/or flood duration of less than 1
day.

Summary, Conclusion and Recommendations
1. With respect to climate change, Barangay residents were affected by grass fires and heat stroke
during hot summer months. Energy consumption in the use of air conditioners and electric fans
were high. Aedes type of mosquito carrying dengue diseases happens all year round. During rainy
season, there were cases of gastro diarrheal and respiratory diseases.
2. Binan is highly vulnerable to typhoons and heavy rainfall intensity that have short to medium term
return period of 3 to 5 years like Milenyo, Ondoy and Reming that directly affected the Calabarzon
Region with massive flooding of coastal Barangays of Laguna Lake lasting for several months. Long
term intervention is the construction of high flood dams along the Lake and land raising of the
shore land by several meters/feet to prevent excess water going to the inland. Preparedness
activities and warning system were critical intervention measures.
3.The Laguna Lake Expressway Dike as a flood control measure is not recommended for many
reasons. The findings and recommendations of JICA Chief of Mission Engineer Takashi Furukawa
doing a study of the Metro Manila and Neighboring Areas Drainage and Flood Control are more
practical and realistic to address Lakeshore flooding. His city near a lake in Japan is a good model
that can be studied for application here in Laguna Lake.
4. Somewhere in Barangay Biñan, Malamig and San Francisco, the West Valley Fault System
traverses with possibility of ground rupture and ground shaking in nearby upland Barangays if the
Valley Fault System got activated. This happened during the earthquake events in the 1960’, 1970s
and 1990s the toppled Ruby Tower, Hyatt Hotel and buidings in Central Luzon.
5. The Laguna Lakeshore Barangays of DeLa Paz, Casile, Malaban, Poblacion and San Antonio are
highly prone to liquefaction in case of high intensity earthquake. This happened during the
earthquake events in Central Luzon where liquefaction destroyed building structures, roads and
bridges.
6. Almost all Barangays are susceptible to flooding that range from low, moderate and high
depending on the proximity to river, canal and lake due to overflows. The moderate to high flood
susceptibility Barangays include DeLa Paz, Malaban, San Vicente, Santo Niño, Ganado, Santo
Domingo, San Francisco, Canlalay and Soro Soro in the lowland areas.
The San Vicente Railroad Bridge needs retrofitting to prevent flood water overflow due to solid
wastes that stuck at the foot of the bridge. Some parts of the long Biñan River require slope
protection, riprapping and high flood walls to prevent river bank erosion and water overflow.
The back flow of flood waters must be prevented particularly in the Southwoods/Soro-Soro River
and SLEX trench canals that must be diverted away from the residential and commercial areas.
The mouth of the River to Laguna Lake needs de-silting for fast flow of water from the western
section Binan.
7. They are usually related to river, lake overflow and drainage problems during the rainy season.
The rest of the Barangays have very low flooding susceptibility like Mamplasan, Bo. Biñan, Timbao,
Langkiwa and Santo Tomas due to high elevation. Rain soaked lands in the upland areas of
Bungahan, Santo Tomas, Langkiwa and Timbao may result landslides but highly improbable to
happen with no past records of events.
8. Given the disaster risk assessment of each barangay, the task is to develop appropriate
countermeasures in terms of structural engineering interventions like lake dikes, river diversion,
65
drainage improvement, river dredging and bridge retrofitting contained in the Master Plan. The
non-structural soft measures involve preparedness and warning system. For earthquake and
landslides, the measures recommended are information and warning dissemination and
preparedness.
9. The heritage structures should be assessed by the Conservationist Architect of NHCP for risk
assessment (wear and tear) as data base for their present viability and provide foresight to future
needs for reinforcement and tetrofitting. These should inclyde equipment and materials needed so
as to provide an estimated budget cost for owners or subsidy by the local government/NHCP as
mandated by RA 10066. The effect of climate change on these important heritage structures has
been mostly neglected. Budget allocation for such should be an integral part of the Planning
Process of each LGU.

CHAPTER 3
DEMOGRAPHY
Based on the 2015 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Biñan posted a population of 333,028
persons. This is bigger compared to its population of 283,047 persons counted in the 2010 CPH. This
increase is equivalent to an average annual population growth rate (PGR) of 3.49 percent.
Population density is quite high at 77 persons per hectares per person based on the 2015 CPH.
Biñan is rapidly urbanizing, commercializing and industrializing due to in- migration, higher birth rate
and increasing life expectancies as experienced in the 1st and 2nd District of Laguna.
The increased growth rate and high density are attributable to internal migration rather than
natural birth as Biñan attracts more people and workers from the provinces, cities and
municipalities including Metro Manila for employment in commercial and industrial establishments.
The doubling of population in 23 years (2041) at more than 3 percent annual growth rate will be
more than 600, 000 requiring new housing units, resettlement sites, sites and services to
accommodate the population increase due to natural birth rate and migration with possible
scarcity of land for housing.
With the rapid growth of population of Biñan comes increase in the working age population. This
would mean that the proportion of dependents would decline that would range from 75 to 50
young age dependents per 100 working persons. However, old age dependency would remain
from 6 to 7 persons per 100 working persons.
Biñan is assured of continuing supply of young labor force which will be able to support the
manpower needs of various industries in view of the high population growth. However, the quality
of labor force should be addressed to ensure the needed human capital would match the industry
requirements.
The prevalence of underweight children able to complete primary and secondary education
should decrease when they go to higher education as they will later contribute to the future labor
force. Labor force coming from malnourished children will not be able to contribute much to
greater productivity and quality output.
Adoption of Population in Development Approach focused on family planning, health, education,

social welfare, responsible parenthood, among others. With the lifting of the technical restraining
order through the long-delayed decision of the Supreme Court, the family planning program using
the approved methods can now be implemented.
3.1 POPULATION COMPOSITION
3.1.1 Population by Age Group and Sex

Latest population census of 2015 reveals that Biñan City has a total population of 333,028 and has a
total household population of 73,106. Of the total household population recorded, 166,039 are
male and 166,989 females (Table DE-1). Between 2010 and 2015 censal years, the Philippine
Statistics Authority estimated a population growth of 2.58%. Using the said population growth, the
total population and household population in 2015.
67
The City has a young population distribution. Table DE-1 shows that people aged 1-29 years old
mostly comprise the City’s population. Age groups 5-9, 10-14 and 15-19 are the most numerous. This
implies that the population is mainly composed of children and teenagers and are assumed to be
the school-going population in elementary and high school. As widely observed among population
compositions, Binan City follows the common pattern of a decline in population as the age groups
go higher.
As shown in Graph DE-1, Biñan City’s population is classified as expansive. An expansive has a
broad base which shows a youthful population. This also indicates fertility within the population and
an increase in population growth rate in the future.

3.1.2 Age-Dependency Ratio

In 2015, 47% of Binan’s population is composed of the school-going population (Table DE-2).
Among them, elementary students are the most numerous which is followed by children in high
school. The population studying college is the least among the school-going force.
The productive population or the working age group makes 69% of the total population. Thirty one
percent of Biñan City’s total population relies on the working age group, 28% of which are the
young and the rest as the senior citizens. With this, the age dependency ratio suggests that there
are 45 individual’s dependents per 100 working age people. Of this 45 dependent individuals
people, 40 are children and 4 are elders.
In schools, there are 103 males per 100 females. This means that both sexes have relatively equal
access to education at all levels. In the working force, men are slightly outnumbered by women
with a sex ratio of 99%. The notion that women outlive men is affirmed by the sex ratio of 69 males
per 100 females in the old age group.

3.1.3 Labor Force and Employment

Table DE-3 shows that more than half (64%) of the total population of Biñan City is employed. Both
men and women have relatively equal access to employment as indicated by the employment
status. There are roughly 51% female and 77% male employed in 2015. Unemployment rate is
recorded at 36%, which is relatively low compared to other cities. Graph DE-3 visualizes the literacy
rate of the City in relation to Laguna’s.
The residents of the City of Biñan sourced their income from nearby Laguna International Industrial
Park (LIIP) and other commercial establishments like malls and fastfood restaurants in the city. Other
than being employed in the aforementioned, residents are engaged in cap-making, puto-making,
or tricycle-driving.

3.1.4 School Age Population

As shown in Table DE-2, 47% of the total population of Biñan City is classified as the school-going
population. A sex ratio measures the number of males for every 100 females. Across the age
groups, males and females have equal access to all levels of education.
3.2 POPULATION DISTRIBUTION

The total population of Biñan City in 2015 (Table DE-4). There are 24 barangays in the City, these
urban barangays have a total population of 333,028. Sto. Tomas are the most populous among all
barangays. Sto. Tomas (0.129%) and Langkiwa (0.114%) have the highest participation rate while
Bungahan has the smallest with 0.005%.
3.2.1 Urban-Rural Household Population by Barangay

As seen in Table DE-4, the total population of the City is greater than its household population
which is 73,106. It is lower because household population excludes institutional households. The
Participation Rate of each barangay was used to compute their household population. Barangay
Sto. Tomas and Dela Paz have the highest household population in the City. Barangay Bungahan,
has the lowest household population.

3.2.2 Urbanization Level

Table DE-5 shows that the census conducted in 1960 registered a population of 33,309. Fifteen
years later, in 1975, it had a population of 67,444. The population of Biñan City hit 201,186 in 2000,
almost twice its size 25 years earlier. The 2015 census recorded 333,028 in Binan City, just five years
after it hit 283,386.
There was a spurt of urbanization that happened in 1975 until 1980. The level of urbanization was
3.49% which means that half of the City lives in urban areas. However, there was a decrease in the
tempo of urbanization between 1980 and 1990 because of installations of water systems in the rural
areas. The event led to the sprout of subdivisions which made wayfor the rural growth rate to rise
over the years. Residential houses in the City were converted into commercial ones. The tempo of
urbanization continued to increaseupto 2015. During the same year, the growth rate of the rural
area was (3.49%). The level of urbanization continued to increase in the recent years as the portion
of those living in urban areas became smaller over the years.
However, the trend was reversed in 2010 when 24 urban barangays and caused another spurt in
the tempo of urbanization. Currently, there is an equal allocation of population as the level of
urbanization in 2010 is at 50%.

Table DE-6 shows further details of urbanization level for the past 20 years. According to the latest
censal data and population projection, Biñan City has an average household size of 5. Statistically,
a household in Biñan City is composed of the parents and three children. Barangay Sto. Tomas and
Dela Paz have 10,118 and 7,111 households, respectively. Having the fewest total population in the
City, Barangay Bungahan only has 285 households.

3.2.3 Population Density/Residential Density

Portrayed in Table DE-7 are the population densities of all barangays in Biñan City. Generally, the
City has an average density of 77 people per hectare. The distribution of the population is equally
distributed.
Urban barangays are characterized by having small land areas, ranging from 12 ha (Casile) to 15
ha (San Jose). The relationship between gross land area and populations of urban barangays can
be observed in Graph DE-5. Among urban barangays, Barangay Jose is the most crowded. Upon
computation, density is computed at 398 persons per hectare of land (gross area of 15 hectares).
On the contrary, rural barangays are characterized by having a larger land area than its
counterpart (Graph DE-5). Land areas range from 732 ha (Brgy. San Francisco) to 537 ha (Brgy.
Binan). Having almost 1269 hectares of land, Brgy. Binan is the least occupied with only 8 people
found per hectare.

3.3.1 Historical Growth of Population

Table DE-9 describes the historical increase in population and the situation of the City when
compared with provincial, regional, and national growth rates. The first census conducted in 1903
registered 22,612 inhabitants and continued to grow up to 1918, posting a 2.21% increase annually.
There is a marked increase in the growth rate during the inter-censal period 1960–1970. The decade
has seen a 4.09% annual growth rate. This is highest growth rate ever recorded in the history of San
Pablo since 1903 when industries and oil mills in the area began to power the economy. The slowest
growth rate occurred between 1939 and 1948.
Between 1975 and 1995, the growth rate of the City reported an alternating trend of 2.01%, 2.45%,
2.07% and 2.43% respectively. The extensive family planning program of the Department of Health
and City Population Office helped control the population growth of the City. Since 1995, the
annual growth rate of the City has continued to decline.

The annual growth rate of Biñan City has stayed in moderation. It was always below the prevailing
provincial, regional, and national population growth rate (Graph DE-9).

3.3.2 Fertility and Mortality
• Crude Birth and Crude Death Rate

Crude Birth Rate refers to the number of live births per 1,000 population and similarly, Crude Death
Rate is the occurrence of deaths per population of 1,000.
Table DE-10 shows that in 2014, there were 32 live births in Biñan City for every 1,000 people. The
crude birth rate of Biñan City has been steadily increasing for the last four years.There was a
decrease of 0.75% in 2016, making it only 30 live births per 1,000 population, it went up to 3.82% over
the next year which resulted to the latest CBR of 19.94%. Controlling population growth helps in
easing the demand for natural resources.
As shown, the changes in the crude death rate of the City over the years did not affect the whole
number. It still amounts to roughly 8 deaths occurring per 1,000 population. The year 2015 has
shown the highest increase in the CDR of the City while 2016 showed the least.

3.5 POPULATION PROJECTIONS AND ESTIMATES
3.5.1 Projected Population and Household
Population Forecasts
If the current trend in population growth would persist, Biñan will have the following population
levels:
Scenario 1
Persistence of the Current Trend at 3.12% growth per annum.
Scenario 2
On the other hand, Scenario 2 presupposes a slowdown in population growth, which is the most
probable consequence of controlling the growth in the industrial sector. This scenario is specifically
characterized by the following:
1. Persistence of the current trend in natural increases (due to births and deaths);
2. In-migration being either employment-led (attracted by employment opportunities
within and outside existing IEs) or housing-led (attracted mostly by available medium to
high-end housing);
3. No additional IEs to be put up, except those already approved by PEZA, thus, potential
locators will have to occupy existing IEs;
4. Selective employment opportunities given the envisioned knowledge-based and
information-technology type of industries to locate in IEs; and,
5. Small-scale industries outside IEs to continuously absorb labor supply.
Scenario 2 - Controlled Growth of the Industrial Sector
3.5.2 Projected Population by Barangay

Tables DE-15 show the population growths of Biñan City for the entire planning period (2015-2035).
To project the population growth of each barangay, the Participation Rate Method was used.
10 years from now, the City will have a population of 419,387. For the current year 2015, the most
populous barangays Sto.Tomas and Langkiwa have total populations of 43,078 and 37,817.
However, using the population growth rate of 3.49%, they are yet to hit a population of 100,000 by
2030. The three fewest barangays are also yet to reach populations of 16,000 by 2030. All
barangays will hit a population on 420,000 on 2030 which is 10 years from the current year.

3.5.3 Projected School-Age Population, Labor Force and Dependent Population

Table DE-16 shows the projected school-age, labor force, and dependent population using the
growth rate of 3.49%. The school-going population is currently at 88,202. By 2025, it will be 104,000
and 116,000 by 2035. The population taking up elementary education has the greatest
participation rate and will reach 39,000 by 2020 and will reach 45,000 by 2035. Second to students
in elementary are high school students which will be 32,000 on 2035. However, based on S.Y. 2014-
15 data, school going population is lower than the current enrolment for elementary and high
school. Nonetheless, the fast increase of the school-going population calls for adequate
educational facilities to accommodate them. A working force of 203,000 is estimated by 2035
which can aid the economy of the City. Productive activities must be generated in order to
support the dependent population which will reach 136,000 by 2035. A work force of 203,000 is
expected to provide for a dependent population of 136,000 in 2035.

BIÑAN DISASTER RISK ASSESMENT RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE AND HAZARDS, 2017
The risk assessment data and information were obtained from the Barangay consultations in July –
August 2017 using survey instruments of DOST-MGB Geo Hazards parameters.
Flood Susceptibility Parameters
A. High Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights ofgreater than 1.5 meters and/or flood duration of more
than 3 days. These areas are immediately flooded during heavy rains of several hours; include
landforms of topographic lows such as active river channels, abandoned river channels and areas
along riverbanks; also, prone to flashfloods.
B. Moderate Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights of 0.5 to 1.5 meters and/or flood duration of 1 to 3 days.
These areas are subject to widespread inundation during prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall or
extreme weather condition. Fluvial terraces, alluvial fans, and in filled valleys are areas moderately
subjected to flooding.
C. Low Flood Susceptibility

Areas likely to experience flood heights of less than 0.5 meter and/or flood duration of less than 1
day.

CHAPTER 4
SOCIAL SECTOR
4.1 EDUCATION
The literacy rate is high at 99.68 percent based on the DEPED records. There were 26 public
elementary schools and 8 national high schools offering basic education. Private schools
offering secondary education are plentiful such as Lakeshore and Sta. Catalina. There are
notable higher education institutions such as Brent International School, San Agustin,
Perpetual Help University, St. Michaels College, among others.
Biñan public elementary school needs 258 classrooms to reach the national standard ration
of 1:50 due to increasing student population. In the secondary levels, about 167 schools are
needed. Another 138 classrooms are also needed for the next 5 years.
PUP admissions and graduates in various higher education courses are performing well in
board examinations. Due to limited budget, PUP can only accommodate limited number
of slots depriving other deserving but low income students whose families cannot afford
quality private higher education.
TESDA admissions and graduates in technical vocational education courses gives

opportunities for low income students for immediate employment, local and foreign.
It is possible that net enrollment rate and achievement rate in public elementary and
secondary schools are declining despite high completion rate and cohort survival rate. This
can be attributed to high student to teacher ratio, overcrowded classrooms, insufficient
teachers training, distractions due to technologies like mobile phones, tablets and social
media, among others. Students have easy access to computer shops with games causing
distractions among learners.
The quality of higher education institutions in Biñan can be questioned if there are low
passing percentage in professional and sub professional civil service examinations. This is so
despite the increasing number of tertiary level graduates in various courses. The provision of
adequate and quality higher education still remains.
There are better employment opportunities among workers in Biñan due to the strong local
economy. However, there is the problem of underemployment for workers (receiving not
enough income) causing dissatisfaction resulting in low morale, tardiness and absenteeism.
The presence of unemployed but educated people may be attributed to the mismatch of
skills produced by the education sector and the skills required by the emerging industries.
There is competition from in-migrants job seekers. For example, higher education courses
are driven by the foreign market of medical workers rather the local need. The business
process outsourcing industry like medical transcription can employ graduates of medical
professionals working abroad without living their country in different time zones.
The working age population is faced with many challenges. There is the threat of early and
unplanned teen age pregnancies. HIV/AIDS cases are spiking. Illegal drugs are
105
proliferating. There is in-migration of unskilled labor. Skilled labor tends to work abroad. The
millenials have work preferences and attitudes not attuned to good work ethics.
The role of the PUP in providing quality higher education for the youth of Biñan especially
the low-income students are constrained by limited enrollment due to budget requirement
and educational facilities. Performance of PUP graduates are outstanding in board
examinations while employers have preference for PUP graduates attributed to their quality
learnings and work attitudes/ethics (See program courses and graduates of PUP).
TESDA programs in Biñan on vocational technical education and training needs expansion
in courses and admission for skills needed by the industries and service sector. Short term
courses are very relevant with minimal skills mismatch and affordable to the unemployed
and out of school youth. (See program courses and graduates of TESDA)
Literacy Rate and Educational Attainment

Literacy rate of Biñan’s populace was placed at a high 99.68 percent in 2015. In terms of
the most current educational status of City’s population, population 5 years old and over
are disaggregated by highest grade completed (refer to). Thirty-five percent of the
population five years old and over in 1995 have attended or completed elementary
education, while around one-third have reached or completed secondary education.
13.93 percent were academic degree holders. The proportion of those who have no
education at all was at minimal proportion of less than 2 percent. There are, however, more
female academic degree holders (22,417) than males (19,365).

Note:
The Dona Aurora Elementary School located at Barangay Santo Domingo should be declared as a
heritage structure. Established in the 1930s, the school building played a major role in the history of
Binan.
The NHCP should look into its historical value for possible declaration as a historical structure. Based
on information from the Barangay, it was established during the Commonwealth Period of
President Manuel Quezon. During the Second World War, the Japanese Imperial Army used it as
garrison and barracks.
Efforts in conservation and protection of this building is vital. A marker from the NHCP may be
suitable for this heritage structure.

2. Adherence to Building Design Standards and Structural Soundness.
3. Provision of Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Facilities.
4. Sewage systems
5. Safety and Security of Education Facilities
6. Resiliency to climate change (eg. Regular flooding)
F. Recommendations:
In order to address structural issues and concerns confronting the public education system in the
City of Biñan, it is recommended:
1. To construct the required number of classrooms to reduce class size to its ideal ratio of 1
classroom to 45-50 students. This will enhance the overall performance of students and
make teaching more convenient to teachers.
114
2. To provide other educational facilities such as, but not limited to library, science
laboratories, E-building and computer rooms in order to maintain the proper school
environment that is required to be at par with existing standards.
3. To build a proactive facility management program which anticipates the facility problems
during the planning phase like maintenance and operations of the educational facilities.
4. To address the construction of school facilities, allocate fund through Special Education
and General fund for the repair of aging and dilapidated school buildings. If necessary,
avail financial facilities extended to public schools and local government units for the
construction of classrooms, land acquisition and upgrading of existing school facilities,
provided by the School Board and the local government. This bold and precise measure will
directly address the huge classroom backlog of at least 400 and major repairs needed by
aging and poorly- maintained school buildings and facilities.

4.2 HEALTH AND SANITATION
4.2.1 General Health Situation

Biñan has two Rural Health Centers, 25 Barangay Health Stations and an Emergency
Hospital.
There is 100 bed capacity community hospital at Golden City providing emergency and
lying in services to patients. There a two-medical hospital – Perpetual Help and Biñan
Doctors – and about 25 private medical clinics.
Records of the Health Centers show ten leading causes of morbidity from 2010 to 2015
namely: unspecified acute lower respiratory infection (11,278), essential primary
hypertension (3,345), influenza (2,005), infectious gastro and colitis (1,459), disorders of
urinary system (1,218), rash and specific skin eruption (1,448), asthma (1,103), and vitamin
deficiency (1,186), among others.
On the other hand, mortality in 2015 was caused by: cardiac arrest, senility, pneumonia,
pulmonary, renal failure, among others. There were deaths such as infant, maternal and
neonatal. To watch is the incidence of HIV AIDS in Biñan in view of the rising incidence
nationwide and region wide.
In 2016, there were underweight children (390), severe underweight children (145) and
overweight children (226).
119
As in other communities, there are under nutrition problems among the children of Biñan
especially those belonging to the low-income groups. This is due to insufficient child nutrition
given to the school going population (7 to 12 years old) such DEPED has feeding program
though inadequate in terms of budget allocation. The CSWD on a limited scale also provide
supplemental feeding program in the day care centers of the barangays.
Children have poor food choices for lack of information given to them. Many low-income
families suffer from food insecurity for lack of money. This is aggravated by the lack of family
planning services given to the couples. Childcare are not given priorities by families to
address their feeding peculiarities. Lactating mothers seldom practice breast feeding due
to work related activities.
It could be that the City Local Nutrition Community and Population Committee lacks the full
capacity in the implementation of health and nutrition programs due to limited budget,
lack of personnel, and logistical support to plan and implement nutrition and population
related programs.
Prevailing communicable diseases such as tuberculosis are the usual morbidity pattern of
family members. Lifestyle diseases such as cardio vascular are emerging related to food
habits. HIV AIDS are being detected among the young and the old due to risky sexual
behavior. It could be that there is better detection system. Also, media advocacies reduce
the social stigma towards HIV detected patients.
The temporary restraining orders on the use of contraceptive products and supplies
somehow contributed to the decrease in contraceptive prevalence but it may pick up its
momentum.
Health manpower to population ratio range from low to high despite the manpower
augmentation by the DOH due to uncontrolled annual population increase.
Informal sector families are in migrating and squatting along rivers, esteros, shoreland,
railroad tracks, and right of way areas. They have no sanitary toilets and access to safe
water including decent housing.
The hidden problem of mental health in a rapidly urbanizing environment is a growing

concern such as cases of suicide, depression, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia especially
the poverty stricken low income family members.
Population size would be a parameter in the analysis of health facility and health
manpower requirements. Birth and death rates are important indicators in planning
maternal and child health services as well as in family planning other health-related
development services/programs.
The trend in the general health status of Biñan’s population is indicated by the following
measures. There are two reporting Rural Health Units (RHUs) in Biñan, one covering 10
barangays, and the other, 14 barangays. Sto. Domingo RHU I cover Sto. Domingo, San
Vicente, Sto. Niño, Tubigan, Soro-Soro, Dela Paz, Canlalay, San Jose, Poblacion and San
Francisco. The San Antonio RHU II covers the following barangays: San Antonio, Malaban,
Casile, Platero, Mamplasan, Langkiwa, Malamig, Ganado, Loma, Timbao, Calabuso,
Bungahan, Zapote and Biñan.

Based on the above health statistics, the general health condition of Biñan’s population
demonstrates an improved health status from 2014 to 2017. Both the crude birth rate (CBR) and the
121
crude death rate (CDR) of the City underwent minimal changes, although they both exhibited a
moderately undulating pattern.
Most barangays have health centers that assist in the medical attention of their residents. Feeding
program is also part of the barangays services. Monthly feeding is given to children who lack in
nutrition or are deprived of the right amount of food. Barangay Santo Tomas has two (2) health
centers that manage the health and well-being of its residents.
Medicine is distributed in barangays. Vaccination, dental and medical missions are also part of the
barangays health services and/or programs.
In Barangay Casile, medicines are given to residents for free. They even hired resident doctor,
nurse, and midwife to attend to its residents.

There are at least 74 private medical/dental/eye/skin/lying-in clinics and facilities offering primary,
secondary and tertiary level health services (including Perpetual Help Hospital, Biñan Doctors
Hospital and Unihealth Southwoods Hospital) that operate in the City. While greater private sector
participation in the provision of secondary and tertiary health services and is an advantage in the
equity consideration in service delivery must not be overlooked.
The poorer segment of the population or Indigents who are in need of secondary health care
services or hospitalization, which are beyond the capacity of the RHUs to respond to; The Ospital ng
Binan is a public hospital located at Barangay Canlalay it has a 50 beds capacity.
Seen from another perspective, the presence of many private health care providers offer a
potential network for the establishment of community health financing schemes that could
significantly enhance equity. One scheme currently being adopted in Barangay San Antonio is the
community-based Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) established in 1987, which is anchored
on risk-sharing, group health practice, preventive maintenance and systematic referral. It operates
on a prepaid, fixed cost pricing system for a pre-determined package of health and medical
services, which could be availed of by members on qualified need basis.
4.2.3 Leading Causes of Morbidity

The leading causes of morbidity recorded in the City are illnesses of the respiratory, hypertension,
dermatitis, Influenza, urinary system, intestinal parasitism, digestive system, asthma, vitamin
deficiencies and other skin infections (Table SO-12). Families living in cluster with poor environmental
sanitation are more likely to be prone to different forms of viruses and bacteria that might lead to
specific infectious diseases like measles, pneumonia and respiratory diseases, dermatitis and
parasitism as well as diarrheal diseases.

4.2.4 Leading Causes of Mortality

The ten leading causes of mortality in Binan City are related to the people’s lifestyle (Table SO-13).
Always on the top spots are cardio vascular diseases and respiratory diseases. This suggests that
most deaths that occur in the City are mostly due to unhealthy diet and lack of exercise. This may
be attributed due to the emergence of the age of information and increasing availability of fast
foods. Making healthy decisions should be promoted by the City Health Office in order to bring
down its manifestation.

4.2.5 Nutritional Status

Table SO-14 shows the nutritional status of children in Binan City. The last three years have shown a
steady increase in children with normal weight. Majority of the children in Binan City have normal
weights. They usually make up 97% of the annual nutritional status survey but the current year shows
a percentage of almost 98%. The percentage of malnourished children is continuously decreasing
as shown in Table SO-14. This improvement of the nutritional status of the City may be attributed to
the increase in food supply and its accessibility. However, nutrition officers should still monitor the
nutrition status of the City.

Health Care Provision and Utilization

Basic health care is made accessible to everyone through a comprehensive multi-sectoral
approach. Health services are delivered to communities through various health care activities at
designated health centres (Barangay Health Stations), and multi-service clinics (Rural Health Units).
Family Planning Program

The program on family planning includes activities such as provision of contraceptive supplies;
motivation of married couples of reproductive age (MCRA) to use FP through the conduct of
household teachings, Mother’s Classes, and IEC; and follow-up of drop-outs.
As far as contraceptive method mix is concerned, the most accepted method in Biñan is pills,
accounting for about 65 percent of the total current users. Injectables (19 percent) and IUD (12
percent) are the other popular methods of contraception used by married women of reproductive
ages.
Other Routinary Health Programs

Responding to the emerging health needs of the population in terms of prevention and safety from
various communicable, deadly and debilitating diseases, the City Health Office through its network
of health personnel and facilities implements the following programmes:
4.2.6 Projected Requirements for Barangay Health Facilities

Every barangay in Binan City has one (1) barangay health facility for the current year 2015 except
for Sto. Tomas who has two (2) barangay health center. HLURB prescribes that there corresponds
one (1) barangay health center facility per 5,000 population in a barangay described in Table SO-
17 is the summary of projected requirements for barangay health facilities in the City.
Due to population growth, three (4) barangays will need four (4) barangay health facilities in the
future: Barangay Dela Paz, San Antonio, Langkiwa and Sto. Tomas. In addition, (3) barangays will
need three (3) barangay health facilities each, namely, Barangay Canlalay, Malaban and San
Francisco, and four (7) barangays need two (2) barangay health facilities, barangay San Jose,
Tubigan, Soro-Soro, Platero, San Vicente, Loma and Timbao.The rest of the 10 barangays will not
need any additional health facility for the next ten years. In should be noted however, that there
are some Health Office that are within or near the said barangays.

Based on HLURB prescribes that there corresponds one (1) barangay health facility per 5,000 population
Ospital ng Biñan is a public hospital with 50-bed capacity located at Barangay Canlalay. The
hospital needs of the residents are served by two (3) privately owned tertiary hospitals: the 200-bed
Perpetual Help Medical Center located in barangay Sto. Niño, the 100-bed Biñan Doctor’s Hospital
at Barangay Platero and Unihealth Southwoods Hospital at San Francisco. The smaller private
health establishments providing services to the local populace.
There are at least 47 private clinics/medical facilities offering primary, secondary and tertiary level
health services (including Perpetual Help Hospital, Biñan Doctors Hospital and Unihealth
Southwoods Hospital) that operate in the city. While greater private sector participation in the
provision of secondary and tertiary health services and is an advantage, the equity consideration
in service delivery must not be overlooked.
Given the present situation, there is only one public hospital in Biñan to which the poorer segment
of the population can go to, for health services, which are beyond the capacity of the RHUs to
129
respond to. Indigents who are in need of secondary health care or hospitalization has to go to the
Sta. RosaCommunity Hospital of the district hospital in Calamba which, more often than not, are
fully occupied.
Seen from another perspective, the presence of many private health care providers offer a
potential network for the establishment of community health financing schemes that could
significantlyenhance equity. One scheme currently being adopted in Barangay San Antonio is the
community-based Health Maintenance Organization (HMO) established in 1987, which is anchored
on risk-sharing, group health practice, preventive maintenance and systematic referral. It operates
on a prepaid, fixed cost pricing system for a pre-determined package of health and medical
services, which could be availed of by members on qualified need basis.
4.2.7 Inventory of Cemeteries and Memorial Parks

There are three (5) cemeteries, three (3) memorial parks in Biñan City. 4 are privately owned while
two cemeteries belong to the City Government, Binan Public Cemetery and Sta. Filomena
Cemetery (Table SO-16. The existing burial grounds indicate that the City Government adequately
provides several options as where its people bury their dead. However, for poor individuals that
cannot afford to buy lots in Memorial parks, they have no choice but to bury their dead loved ones
in the congested public cemeteries. Binan City proposed to have a public cemetery in Barangay
Loma.

Note:
The “Angustia” of the Roman Cemetery maybe a candidate for heritage structure declaration if
found worthy by the NHCP. Binan should endorse it to the NHCP for evaluation as to its historical
value. Funds for rehabilitation and retrofitting should be provided for this important structure.
The ownership should be verified. If it is owned by the church, then a bilateral agreement to its
preservation must be worked out.
Projected Number of Deaths and Area Requirements for Burial Grounds

Table SO-16a shows the projected number of deaths each year until 2027 and the corresponding
area requirement of burial grounds. It should be noted that in computing the area requirement, a
minimum plot size of 1.0 meter by 2.44 meters was used.
130
Using a crude death rate of 5.09% from the year 2017, it is computed that there will be more than
1,000 deaths every year. In ten years, the total number of deaths will be 18,834, with the number of
deaths increasing by an average of 41 every year. In relation to this, in 2025 a total of 5,002.00 m2
of burial grounds for the projected total number of deaths is expected. Each year, an average of
100.57 m2 of burial grounds is expected to be allotted by the City Government under the
assumption that all are buried within the city. If the proposed cemetery in barangay Loma is ready,
the burial grounds are more than enough for the future burial grounds needs of the City for the next
10 years.

4.2.9 Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities

Solid waste management and the provision of solid waste facilities are the major task of the Solid
Waste Management Office of the City Government of Biñan. Waste water facilities, on the other
hand, are available in private industries. Commercial establishments and industries are being
monitored by DENR and LLDA when it comes to their waste disposal and potential hazards these
industries may produce.
• Solid Waste Generation and Treatment Management

The Solid Waste Management Office is responsible for the delivery of the City’s services on Solid
Waste Management as well as the operation of facilities related to sanitation. The City Solid Waste
Management Office caters all 24 barangays in collecting waste while the remaining manage and
collect their own waste.
132
The City Ordinance on Solid Waste Management of Biñan City further strengthen the functions of
the City Solid Waste Management Office in managing the City’s solid waste problems and
operation of the City Sanitary Landfill and Material Recovery Facility, the City Environment and
Natural Resources Office (CENRO) together with the City General Services Office (CGSO)
collaborate in the implementation and enforcement of environmental ordinances within the City.
Source Reduction
Based on Rule IX Section I Department Administrative Order (DAO) in support to R.A. 9003, volume
reduction at source is the main objective of the Integrated Ecological Solid Waste Management
System. All constituents shall promote and be responsible for sorting and segregating of
biodegradable, non-biodegradable and recyclable waste at the household and barangay levels
and all other sources such as market, commercial institutions, schools, hospital and industries.
Collection
The total collecting fleet of the City Solid Waste Management Office is 10 units. Ten (10) units are
running alongside 35 mini dump trucks/compactors which are operated by the barangay. The
present total collection is assessed at 70-80 metric tons per day depending on the season. The
operation of the operating fleet is 2 shifts (Morning/Night) per day, 1 trip per shift for 7 days a week.
The manning of the units consist of driver plus the collectors as follows: 2-3 collectors for compactor
truck; and 4-5 collectors for dump trucks, the actual number of collectors need to be varied to suit
loading conditions of the trucks. Segregated wastes are collected at different schedule.
Biodegradables (Nabubulok) are collected every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. While
the non-biodegradables (Di-Nabubulok) are collected every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Table 68 shows the scheduleof collection of garbage in the City. Although there is regular schedule
to be followed, there were reports of delayed garbage collection.

Special Wastes
The Biñan City Sanitary Landfill does not have the capacity to treat and dispose special waste
(medical and hazardous) from the hospital and other major industries. The burden of disposing and
treating it lies on the operator and management of hospital or industry by means of getting a third
party with specialization in disposing and treating hazardous waste. Although private entities are
disposing their special wastes with their own capacity, still, the City Government needs to provide
special waste processing facility to ensure that these wastes are properly treated and disposed for
the safety of its people and the environment.
General waste from hospital and other health care establishment are treated as ordinary waste,
while medical waste is treated as special and hazardous waste which will be handled by licensed
transport and disposal companies that specialize in the disposal of such wastes.
The household/domestic waste shall be processed at the Central Material Recovery Facility.
However, in the temporary absence of a facility for special waste, the SWMO has partnered with
accredited business entities that specialize in handling special waste to manage and dispose of
them. The hazardous industrial waste shall be handled by the concerned establishment in a
134
special waste management area within their premises or properties, in accordance with the
requirement of the R.A. 6969 (Toxic Chemicals and Hazardous Waste Management Act) imposed
by Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) and will be strictly monitored by the
City Environment Office and City Health Office.
Information, Education and Campaign (IEC)

As part of the SWMP, the objective is to launch information and education campaign to explain
the solid waste management plans and programs. The City initiated a comprehensive advocacy
campaign for the implementation of R.A. 9003 in the 24 barangays of the City, encouraging each
barangay to organize the residents to support the objective of the project through Individual
Barangay Solid Waste Management Committee (BSWMC). It aims to urge every person to practice
solid waste management at the household and barangay level through advocacy, dissemination,
and motivation of IEC activity. The objective of the IEC is to impart awareness and understanding
on the mandatory provisions of R.A. 9003 which is geared towards implementation of systematic,
comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program for the City.
Volume of Solid Waste Generation by Source

The solid waste being generated from different sources are being assessed by the CSWMO. This is
due to the fact that recycling and composting are being practiced by the households in all
barangays. Commercially-generated waste is the next big contributor of solid waste in the City. In
some way, commercial establishments are mandated by the City Government to practice
recycling and composting. Moreover, industries and hospitals also generate solid waste but as
mentioned in the previous section, industries and hospitals are obligated to dispose their own
wastes especially their hazardous wastes.

medical preparations, and make people appreciate the healing
properties of common garden plants thus, becoming conscious of
protecting the plants from extinction. These objectives can be
achieved through collaborative activities among the MHO (with
BHWs), the Social Welfare Office (with its Day Care Workers) and
NGOs operating in the area with similar goals. The use of herbal
medicine/preparation is resorted to because of their low cost and the
availability of herbal plants in the area. Types of medicinal plants,
ways of propagation, and herbal preparation shall be taught to the
BHWs and Day Care Workers deployed in the barangays so they can,
in turn, teach the mothers during Mother’s Classes.

4.3 HOUSING
4.3.1 Housing Situation

An increasing population connotes an increasing demand for housing with necessary
amenities and livelihood opportunities. Squatter settlement sizes and rates of expansion of
the informal sectors have to be estimated in order to help shape and relocation and
housing targets in order to provide them with decent housing.
Housing is one of the most expressed needs and aspirations of people, especially the urban
poor and those belonging to the low-income group. The rapid natural growth of population
aggravated by the influx of migrants and spread of squatters in major towns has caused the
rapid increase in housing requirements. Such problem of rapidly growing housing needs has
become one of the biggest concerns that local governments need to address. Biñan is not
spared from such problem of rapidly growing housing needs.
138
Adding most significantly to the challenge of providing adequate shelter to its growing
population is the problem of relocating the displaced residents from environmentally critical
areas.
The most current data on housing would indicate to some extent the magnitude of housing
problems in terms of inadequacy of units, ownership status and poor quality of housing
materials. The 1990 ratio of households to occupied housing units stood at 1.04 meaning
there was an estimated deficit of 4 housing units for every 100 households.
The largest land use of Binan is residential which totals to 2229.66 hectares or about 51.25
percent of the total land area. Just like the neighboring cities of the first and second districts
of Laguna, Binan as a lone district can be regarded as a dormitory city south of Metro
Manila where residents consider the city as a dwelling place commuting to their places of
work in the metropolis of Makati, Manila, Quezon, Pasay, others.
However, many residents as well as transients find employment in the industrial estates of
Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP) and Laguna Technopark. As a community, Binan
can be considered as a self contained and self sufficient in terms of residential amenities
and facilities for its growing population.
Socialized housing as in other places may prove to be difficult to implement. The financial
barriers discouraged informal settler families (ISF) in availing of the program. This may also
be attributed to inadequate post relocation services including livelihood and utilities. An
inter-agency approach by NHA, DPWH, DOH, DEPED, others has better chances of success
in the delivery of sites and services.
The local shelter program does not respond to actual housing backlog. Assistance under
socialized housing is demand driven or determined by application from communities
interested in the housing program. They are not provided because people needs housing.
The need is for access to affordable, adequate, safe and secure shelter in well planned
communities.

4.3.2 Housing Backlog

The backlog of housing composed of doubled up household, unacceptable housing units,
and makeshift/salvage/improvised dwellings are increasing over the years without clear
cut government socialized housing program for the low-income families who cannot afford
open market housing of the private sector.
4.3.3 Informal Settlement Areas

Per the City of the Population Office, the total number of informal Settlers is 6% of the total
population which is equivalent to 20,000, more or less
Informal Settlers in Biñan are located in the areas of Barangays Sto. Niño, Bungahan, De La
Paz, Tubigan, Soro-Soro, Malaban, Sto. Tomas, Casile, Loma, Mamplasan, San Vicente, Sto.
Domingo, Timbao, and Ganado
The National Housing Authority estimated that the number of informal settler families in the
Laguna de Bay shoreland is 82,040. The largest informal settler community is in Lupang
Arenda in Barangay Sta. Ana, Taytay, Rizal with 60,000 families.
Two other large informal settler communities are found in the Province of Laguna: Barangay
Malaban in Biñan has 6,800 informal settler families and Barangay Sinalhan in Sta. Rosa has
4,800. The remaining 10,440 informal settler families are in clusters of informal settlements
located in 29 shoreland municipalities (188 lakeshore barangays) around the lake.
Informal settlements along the shoreland are also staggering in number. The informal settler
families that would be affected in the Implementation Order 815 (2009), Declaring the
Implementation of the Environmental and Economic Development Program within Laguna
Lake as a Presidential Priority, are 391,084. The affected areas include the City of Taguig, 13
municipalities/cities in the Province of Rizal and 17 municipalities/cities in the Province of
Laguna.
Informal settlers in these communities are mostly migrants from southern provinces like Bicol
and the Visayas regions engaged in seasonal livelihood for them in times of economic
shocks and stresses. LLDA reports a substantial portion of these communities are submerged
for 7 months during the rainy season (LLDA Oplan Universe), such families have learned to
adapt.
Some are able to improvise using waste materials to keep their belongings afloat during
flooding. Others form informal groups and contribute portion of their daily earnings to hire
hauling services from construction sites to backfill their areas with debris and other waste
materials to elevate their houses. This is among the factors that contributed to the
140
consolidation of informal settlements as seen in Lupang Arenda where the original 80-
hectare site for socialized housing increased to 175 has. (LLDA 2008).
Various health problems also beset these communities especially children who were
reported to be prone to water-borne-related illnesses. Other reports claim that children
from lakeshore communities have lower IQ than other children in the region (Changco
2009).
These settlements are generally serviced by public facilities like schools, rural health units
and day care centers. However, only a few LGUs have managed to install service utilities
for flood control and waste management given the prohibitive costs of infrastructure.
Taytay and Cainta are among these LGUs, which invests in flood mitigation projects like
rehabilitation of local drainage systems and installation of pumping stations to aid the
drawing floodwaters from settlements onto the lake tributaries. These LGUs, together with
other supports of the recall EO 854 agree that, instead of resettlement, better and long-term
engineering interventions can better address the flood risks and other issues faced by the
lakeshore communities.
To date, the subject of resettlement of lakeshore informal settlers is still pending with the
Office of the President, although some LGUs have started to explore possible relocation sites
(in-city) such as Taytay, Rizal. (Laguna de Bay Basin Master Plan: 2016 and Beyond)

4.3.5 Resettlement Areas

The resettlement area in Langkiwa called NHA Southville Project provided row type housing
for the informal settler families in Biñan as well as those families coming from Metro Manila.

BIÑAN TENEMENT HOUSING
Rationale and Concept of the Tenement Housing

The Tenement Housing would be a socialized housing for the informal settlers squatting in
dangerzone areas such river banks, canals, under bridges, along roads and railroad tracks.
Biñan has already tagged squatter families for relocation in Langkiwa Resettlement Area.
Many settlers along the railroad tracks in Sto. Nino and San Antonio in fact have been
resettled and given socialized housing units under the NHA program. Some returned to
squatting for some reasons.
The tenement housing scheme would be similar to the tenement housing of President
Diosdado Macapagal in 1963 funded by the Japanese Reparations Program. The 1,000
families occupied 700 studio type accommodation paying 200 pesos per month except
water and electricity affordable to the residents. Value added component of tenement
housing is the provision of livelihood self-employment schemes, commercial areas of retail
trade and assistance to employment facilitation as OFWs.
NHA can consider the costs and benefits of the land and space consuming tenement
housing as compared to single detached row type housing which is land intensive. Land is
getting to be an expensive and scarce in urban areas especially for residential use
competing with commercial and industrial use. There should be common areas for
playground, schools, church and public market.
Geographic Location and Availability of Land

The NHA relocation areas in Barangay Langkiwa would be the ideal site of the tenement
housing program. The 10 hectares vacant private land in Barangay Tubigan is another
prospect for tenement housing.
145
Road Access, Transport and Power Supply

The above cited sites are highly accessible through the barangay industrial roads in
Langkiwa, Santo Tomas and Timbao proposed for widening by the city government. The
Tubigan area is along the Binan Carmona Road going to the SLEX. Both areas are serviced
by passenger jeepneys with terminals in Biñan. Power supply of electricity is 24/7 distributed
by Meralco.
Master Plan Preparation

• Design Plans – Architectural and Engineering Design Plans would determine the
appropriate design of the tenement building of 4 floors walk up medium rise
capacity.
• NHA and Biñan shortlisting and prioritization of family beneficiaries.
• Financial Aspects – capital costs of constructing the buildings and cost recovery
schemes affordable to the low income families.
• Implementation Arrangement – Joint venture between NHA as owner of the land
and the private investors who will finance the phase by phase building construction
supported by business plan and financial studies.

4.4 SOCIAL WELFARE SERVICES

Social Welfare services are being provided by social workers and assistants for the
disadvantaged population – women, children, disabled, senior citizen, others. There are no
institutional based services for abused children, women, others.
Poverty incidence or families living below the poverty line in the Calabarzon Region
especially the affluent cities of Laguna were declining based on the NSO Family Income
and Expenditure Survey (FIES). In Biñan, the informal sector families like those staying at PNR
railroad tracks were estimated at 3,400 excluding those squatting along the lakeshore of
Laguna de Bay as well as creeks.
The recent results of the Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) showed that the
overall poverty incidence has been declining especially in the affluent cities of Calabarzon
like San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba as compared to the low income
communities of the region. Total counting of informal sector families along PNR railroad
tracks was estimated at 3,400 excluding those families squatting along the shore land of
Laguna Lake as well as creeks. Many of them have been resettled in the Langkiwa NHA
Southville Project while other families went back to squat again.
The government’s Pantawid Pamilya Program (4Ps) giving financial assistance to the
poorest of the poor may have failed to alleviate severe poverty incidence due to the
limited slots, delays in beneficiary assessment and the violations of some beneficiary
program conditions.
There is a Gender and Development Office giving importance to the mainstreaming of

women in society with programs and projects such as capacity building, skills training,
among others.
The social protection programs should ease the vulnerabilities of population to economic
risks, natural hazards and human induced shock. Social welfare program should see to it
that children would protected especially the first 1,000 days where brain development is
critical laying the foundation of future health. They are also vulnerable to violence such as
physical, mental, injury, abuse, neglect or negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation
including sexual abuse and economic risks.
The older persons are vulnerable due to their mental and physical health as well as
economic status. The differently abled persons (DAP) are also vulnerable to many risks
because of attitudinal, physical and financial barriers. Women needs continuing
mainstreaming to overcome all barriers to become productive citizens.
Natural hazards like strong tropical storms and typhoons can set back the vulnerable and
poor population especially the women and families. Timely and adequate delivery of relief
and immediate and short term rehabilitation and recovery interventions are essential to
cushion the impact of natural hazards.

SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE
Social infrastructures refer to physical assets and facilities that aid the delivery of social services
such as schools, classrooms, hospitals, health units, day care centers, among others.
The Special Education Fund (SEF) has to be programmed over the planned period (2018 – 2026) to
meet the need for the repair and construction of new schools and classrooms based on the
projected enrollment on all grade levels including the senior high school students. These schools
should be allocated in the 24 Barangays especially those with available school sites. Funds are
needed for the acquisition of land for the schools if private donation of school site is not possible.
The bed capacity of the Community Hospital should be made consistent with the trends in
morbidity and mortality patterns of the client population complementing the capacities of the
private hospitals operating in Biñan. The facilities and laboratory equipment of the hospital should
be upgraded. The annual budget should be programmed accordingly.
In the 24 Barangays, there are social services being provided such as health centers and day care
centers critical in ensuring the health needs and nutrition needs of the preschoolers. In view of the
low income from the shares from IRA and RPT, the 20 percent Development Fund is not adequate
to support the operation of the health and day care centers. There should be augmentation funds
from the city government to strengthen the services being provided by the Barangays.
It has been observed that many Barangays have inadequate facilities of lands and buildings
necessary for more efficient and effective administration and management of Barangay affairs.
The city government should allocate funds and budget for this purpose.

4.5 PROTECTIVE SERVICES

Protective services rendered by PNP, BFP and BJMP with augmentation from the Tanods of the 24
Barangays as force multiplier. Jail detainee ratio was showing congestion that would require new
jail building and cells in appropriate location selected.
Central Police Headquarter is located in the New City Hall Compound, police outposts in the 24
Barangays, fire stations and jail temporarily housed at the old City Hall in the Poblacion. The City
Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRMO) is located in the City Hall Compound with
rescue vehicles and equipment in case of emergency. Evacuation Centers are scattered in many
Barangays.
The low enforcement duties of the PNP policeman are being questioned by human rights
advocates promoted by media hype. Biñan just like other cities and municipalities in the region is
still facing the spectre of illegal drugs and substance. The challenge is to make all Barangays
cleared of illegal drugs through active citizen participation and cooperation with adequate
budget allocation related to prevention, treatment and rehabilitation.
The objectives are to reduce continuously the index crime volume, improve crime solution
efficiency, increase police to citizen ratio (1:500) and decrease the illegal drug affected
barangays.
The BJMP needs jails to accommodate increasing number of detainees for rehabilitation. The BFP
fire-fighting services are complemented by Barangays with fire trucks and auxiliary personnel. The
occurrence of disasters may threaten peace and security due to climate change with the severity
and scale of disasters. Need to formulate, update and execute the Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (DRRM) by CDRRMO including the continuing training on DRRM.
The occurrence of disasters in Biñan threaten peace and security as they affect the environment
and the community. Disaster risks increased during the past years due to climate change while the
severity and scale of disasters resulted to economic and social instability of the city. Infrastructures
also pose as risks as some are not structurally sound or disaster resilient making them more prone to
damages and increased risk. Need to formulate, update and execute the Disaster Risk Reduction
Management (DRRM) including the continuing training of individuals on DRRM.
The City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRM) is located in the City Hall compound
with rescue vehicles and equipment in case of emergency. Evacuation centers are situated in
various barangays.

CHAPTER 5
ECONOMIC SECTOR
Biñan is a first-class city which is basically urban wherein the industry and services sector not
agriculture as the dominant drivers of business growth. It includes the secondary sector of
manufacturing, construction, electricity, gas and water supply. The tertiary sector are wholesale
and retail trade, transportation and communication, finance, insurance, real estate, personal
services and tourism.
The primary sector of small agricultural crops, livestock and fish harvest in Laguna Lake are
contributing a very small portion to the City local economy and employment. The manufacturing
sector is represented by the PEZA registered industrial estates (LIIP and ALI) engaged in electronics,
automotive, metals, food and metals, among others. The old Public Market provided trading and
merchandising activities for many years past to the present with informal economy workers.
The local tourism industry has yet to take off in terms of same day local and foreign visitors to its
ancestral old houses, San Isidro Labrador Church, festivals, museum except the popular Splash
Island resort and Southwoods Golf Course. However, the Alonte Sports Arena is gaining popularity in
hosting sports events, music concerts, social and religious gatherings, others. The People’s Center
are being for conventions, seminars and meetings by national, regional and local government
units.
Property valuations have been increasing due to robust business in property acquisitions and
development by the private sector. The home-based industry of shoe making, hat making, native
food delicacies and rice crispy are not prospering but disappearing due to lack of innovation,
funding support, competition from foreign imports, among others. Laguna Lake has huge potential
for mixed use development. A food processing and distribution terminal dubbed “Bagsakan”
connected to the PNR train station in Barangay San Vicente and Public Market can make Biñan as
the regional trading center of Calabarzon.
Population size, its growth, its spatial and age distribution affect the demand for goods and services
(food, clothing, and other manufactured products), the mix of industrial output and the need to
generate employment opportunities.
Population density and rural population would exert impact on finite/limited cultivable land
resources, thus raising concerns for intensive cultivation to increase productivity or encroachment
on forest areas.
5.1 AGRICULTURE
As of 2017, Biñan’s agricultural rice land under cultivation has a total of 164.80 hectares with a
few rice farmers despite large tracks of existing green areas with a total of 741.55 hectares for
many reasons such as lack of irrigation water, pest infestation, high costs of farm inputs, lack of
farm implements, among others. Farmers and/or tenants would rather wait for the right time
and price for the lands to be bought by property developers and converted for residential,
commercial, industrial uses and institutional uses. The generation of rice farmers/tenants are
dwindling over the years with no new farmers/tenants from their family members who would
rather work in white collar or blue collar jobs and work abroad with better benefits and
compensation.

Fruit Trees 37.32
Based from the City Agriculture Office of the City of Binan, out of the total land area of the city,
only about 741.55 hectares are classified as agricultural area. This account for agricultural land is
sporadically all over the city. The agricultural profile of the city is accordingly classified into: (a) rice
area, 168.1 hectares; (b) vegetable area, 24.9 hectares; (c) fishery area, 31.05 hectares; (d) coastal
area, 84.5 hectares; (e) shoreline, 2.7 hectares; and (f) fruit trees area, 69.23 hectares. Refer to
Table EC 1.
The City of Binan used to be an agricultural land dating Spanish times. Urbanization prompted the
city to change in land use as structures and urban cores started to dominate the landscape.
However, rice cultivation is still evident in Barangays of Langkiwa, 35.8 hectares; Zapote, 14.7
hectares; Sto. Tomas, 8.0 hectares; Loma, 14.7 hectares; Bungahan, 4.8 hectares; Canlalay, 22.3
hectares; Platero, 8.3 hectares; San Francisco, 14.6 hectares; Timbao, 19.9 hectares; Mamplasan,
17.6 hectares; and San Antonio, 7.4 hectares. All these account for 168.10 hectares.
Although there is no existing or documented tree plantation in the City, fruit-bearing trees are also
grown in Binan. These trees are either grown in the local’s backyards or are grown scattered all
throughout. These fruit-bearing trees are banana, calamansi, coconut, guava, guyabano, mango,
papaya, atis, avocado, and balimbing (starfruit). Other fruit-bearing trees include lanzones,
mabolo, chico, dalanghita, duhat, langka (jackfruit), macopa, suha (pomelo), rambutan, santol,
sinigwelas, caimito (star apple), and sampalok (tamarind). Of these fruit-bearing trees, the most
abundant are bananas with about 15.22 hectares in total account, and mango, grown in 10.61
hectares. All accounted for, the total hectares covered by fruit-bearing trees is 34.04 hectares. For
complete listing of fruit-bearing trees and their respective land coverage, refer to Table EC 2.
Vegetable varieties are also grown and cultivated in the City. These are either for personal use or
sold at the local markets and flea markets. From the records of the City Agriculture Office,
vegetables grown are the following: kamote, kangkong, mustard, pechay, kinchay, green onion,
ampalaya, eggplant, okra, patola, sitaw, squash, and sili. Vegetables total coverage in land area is
134.16 hectares. The most grown domestic vegetables, notwithstanding their ability to grow fast,
are eggplant and okra, which when combined, account to 45.46% of the total coverage at 61.0
hectares.

5.1.8 Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development ZonesUrban Agriculture

Biñan’s remaining agricultural land covers 164 .8 hectares or about 3.7 percent of Biñan’s
total land area. Rice farm production are dwindling with only about 74 farmers. There were
no short term vegetable crops and fruit trees planted as in the past when Biñan was a rich
170
agricultural town with irrigated water both in the upland and in the lowland. The remaining
poultry and hogs in some areas are no longer consistent with urban living but becomes a
nuisance. Fish farming were not fully maximized in Laguna Lake resulting in marginal
harvests of fishes by small fishermen but benefited more the commercial fish pen owners.
Given this scenario, there is a need to upgrade to the highest level the urban agricultural
production of Biñan using modern urban farm agricultural system practiced in Israel, Japan
and Korea. The time will come when Biñan’s agricultural economy must shift to agribusiness
model of intensive farming high value quality farm products like organic farming. It can
make use of modern technology such as hydroponics even in farm buildings and plantation
of short term harvest years and oxygen producing fruit trees with benefits to the
environment.
The upland elevated areas Barangays of Timbao, Loma and Bungahan with ample vacant
or idle lands are the best suitable areas for urban agriculture in Biñan. Certain areas can be
zoned for urban agriculture. The urban agriculture system in said areas will be source of
supply for fresh products such as vegetables and fruits. The benefits would be food supply
security, green areas retention for the environment and going back to the past agricultural
history of Biñan.
5.1.9 Agrarian Related Concerns

• There is an indication that there has been a substantial decline in agricultural land
which is currently only 8.44% of total land area
• There is a significant reduction in agricultural production, especially croplands, livestock,

and poultry, resulting in threatened level of food security and food sufficiency
• Rice production forming the bulk of agricultural produce has decreased significantly
• Continued industrial development resulted in traffic congestion and brought about

urbanisation-related problems like pollution, squatting, increased demand for social
services in order to meet the requirements of the expanding population.
5.1.10 Comparative Area Utilization of Significant Agricultural Activities

• Unproductive idle lands can be used as open spaces, green areas and buffer zone. These
are strictly no build zones for safety and are encouraged to become green spaces with
trees and plants rather than concrete development. Biñan can decide on acquiring lands
for future land banking while value and prices of these lands are still low and affordable.
Buffers are needed for hazard prone areas such as National Grid Corporation (NGC) grid
lines, fault lines, sanitary landfill, cemeteries, urban agriculture, natural drainage and aquifer
recharge.
• Rice farm production are dwindling with only a few farmers and workers.
• Livestock production (poultry, hogs) are no longer compatible with the land use of Biñan.
Fish harvest from Laguna Lake from fish pens and fish cages were not sustainable to provide
adequate income. The small fishermen and their families with livelihood connected to
Laguna Lake are engaged in tricycle driving, construction works, retail trades, others.
• The shoreland of Laguna Lake of about 8 kilometers provides small quantity of vegetable
crops during the dry season when water receded about 500 meters from the shoreline.
171
These vegetables are sold in the public market and talipapa of Barangay Malaban and De
La Paz.

5.4.1 Historical Data on Industrial Areas

There is no consolidated data that can indicate the changes in industrial areas of the City.
5.4.2 Inventory of Existing Industrial Establishments by Intensity, Capitalization, and

Employment
Table EC 20 shows the registered manufacturing industries based from the data of the City Business
Permits and Licensing Officer. These manufacturing industries are engaged into the production of
footwear, needle craft, metal craft, hat ort cap making, wood craft, and rice cake production.
Footwear production dominates the manufacturing industry followed by cap making industry.
Manufacturing mix now in Biñan especially in its industrial parks have changed in terms of
composition. There had been a shift from cottage types of industries to hard manufacturing
industries composed mainly of electronics, telecommunications, automotive, packaging, among
others. There are currently two main industrial parks situated in Biñan, the Laguna International
Industrial Park (LIIP) and the Laguna Technopark (LTI). Majority of the locators in LIIP and LTI are
electronics and semiconductor companies. In LIIP, there are a lot of garments and textile
manufacturers as well. In LTI, there is also a significant number of automotive and car parts
manufacturers which chose to locate in this park.
Cottage-based Industries
a. Puto-making
Puto is a general Filipino term for steamed rice cakes or muffins. Like most rice-derived
delicacies in Filipino cuisine, there are many variants. The Puto Binan is a grinded rice shaped
like a pizza steamed to perfection. It is topped with cheese, egg, butter, and condensed milk.
b. Binan’s shoe-making industry was thriving even before Liliw and Marikina gained national
prominence for the same product. Binan used to be the footwear capital of the Philippines in
the 1960s. The best shoemakers can be found in Barangays Dela Paz and Malaban.
182
c. Binan is widely known for its numerous hat making businesses. Hats from Binan have come a
long way. It started as a means of recreation to being one of the City’s top exports in national
and international markets. The best hat business establishments can be found in Barangay
Platero.
Analysis of the labor force determines the predominant development sectors in terms of
employment of the population in an area, that is, possible labor market.
Areas with considerable unemployment may be determined and the data can guide the planners
in redirecting development towards the area to create hob opportunities for existing and
projected population.

TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Part of the programs of the City of Biñan is its tourism development program. This will involve the
design of a tourism development plan for the entire City of Binan including its 24 barangays. It seeks
to redevelop the poblacion and preserve historical landmarks and develop its eco-tourism
potential.
190
The objectives of the program are the following:

a. To identify and develop the major tourist destinations of Binan and link them in a tourist
circuit.
b. To promote the historical and agro-tourism potential of Binan in the local as well as the
foreign market.
At present, the City of Biñan does not have a strong city character or something that the city may
be known for. It is because of the mixed facility design in the city particularly in the poblacion. Most
of the barangays do not even have tourism destinations that could possibly lure tourists as a huge
chunk of their land areas are mostly of industrial and residential uses. Agricultural use is not as well
maximized. Portions that have been identified as agricultural zone are threatened to become
residential or industrial use in the future.
The components of the program include the following:

a. Identification of key tourism destinations
b. Preparation of the integrated tourism development plan to include:
a. Redevelopment of the poblacion and the historical landmarks
b. Development of the night market
c. Development of theme parks
d. Agri-tourism development
e. Commercial strip development
f. Provision of infrastructure system to support identified tourism spots
c. Preparation of a tourism destination plan which involves the preparation of travel packages
and itineraries for tourists and identification of transportation requirements.]
d. Preparation of a tourism promotion plan.
HERITAGE MAPPING
The City of Biñan has initially identified heritage sites and/or structures, specifically in the poblacion
area where most of the residential structures were constructed during the Spanish colonial period.
Some of these residences were either converted into government offices or in deplorable condition
due to poor maintenance and management by homeowners or caretakers.
BCHATO has undertaken a mapping to identify the structures that are still fit to become part and
may be declared as heritage site or structure.
BIÑAN HERITAGE COUNCIL

Following the provision of Section 16 of RA 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of
1991, which stipulates “that local government unit plays an important role in the development,
promotion and preservation of Filipino culture and encourage the participation of the people in
the development and preservation of Filipino identity”, the Biñan Heritage Council was created by

Encoded from: Biñan City of Life brochure
Note 1:
The Dona Aurora Elementary School located at Barangay Santo Domingo should be declared as a
heritage structure. Established in the 1930s, the school building played a major role in the history of
Binan.
The NHCP should look into its historical value for possible declaration as a historical structure. Based
on information from the Barangay, it was established during the Commonwealth Period of
President Manuel Quezon. During the Second World War, the Japanese Imperial Army used it as
garrison and barracks.
Efforts in conservation and protection of this building is vital. A marker from the NHCP may be
suitable for this heritage structure.
Note 2:
The “Angustia” of the Roman Cemetery maybe a candidate for heritage structure declaration if
found worthy by the NHCP. Binan should endorse it to the NHCP for evaluation as to its historical
value. Funds for rehabilitation and retrofitting should be provided for this important structure.
The ownership should be verified. If it is owned by the church, then a bilateral agreement to its
preservation must be worked out.
Jose Rizal

Jose Rizal spent most of his youth and early education. Between 1869 and 1971, Rizal received his
formal education under the tutelage of Maestro Justiniano Aquino Cruz. Evidence of this are
literatures that record the activities of the young Rizal. The Binan River was said to be the place
where Rizal lost his slipper, and in turn, he threw the other half of the pair in case somebody would
find both, at least in pair. In his memoirs, Rizal described Binan as a very large, rich and wealthy
town. Other known historical personalities are the following: Teodora Alonzo and Francisco
Mercado, the parents of Rizal; Jose Alberto, the wealthiest and most powerful man during his time,
and Rizal’s uncle; Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista, a law practitioner and offered free legal services,
and author of the “Act of the Declaration of Philippine Independence; and, General Mateo M.

5.5.5 Inventory of Tourists by Country of Origin
5.5.6 Cultural and Tourism Activities/Festivals

The origin of most early fiestasare rooted in Christianity, dating back to the Spanish colonial period
when the many communities (such as barrios and towns) of the predominantly Catholic almost
always had a patron saint assigned to each of them. Originally encouraged by the Spanish to
coincide with Christian holy days, early festivals became vital instruments in spreading Christianity
throughout the country. Fiestas in the Philippines can be religious, cultural, or both. Several of these
are held to honor the local Roman Catholic patron saint, to commemorate local history and
culture, to promote the community's products, or to celebrate a bountiful harvest. They can be
marked by Holy Masses, processions, parades, theatrical play and reenactments, religious or
cultural rituals, trade fairs, exhibits, concerts, pageants and various games and contests.
List of Fiestas
Feb 2-4 The three-day Araw ng Biñan, commemorates the cityhood
anniversary (February 2), Biñan's liberation day from the Japanese
Imperial Forces (February 3), and the remembrance of the
founding anniversary of Biñan (February 4).
February Chinese New Year
Every First week of February, to Happening every first week of February since 2011, the Puto Latik

CHAPTER 6
INFRASTRUCTURE SECTOR
6.1 TRANSPORTATION
Refer to the 2018 Proposed Concept Traffic Circulation Master Plan, Annex 5, Volume 1
Along the SLEX, Biñan can be accessed through the following exit points/interchanges-
Southwoods, Carmona and Mamplasan. The Manila South Road (old National Highway)
connects Biñan to the Cities of San Pedro, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba from north
to south with public transport of buses, jeepneys and shuttle vans with established Transport
Terminals. The road network of the National Highway, provincial and city roads are heavily
congested with traffic exceeding its capacity. Biñan River and drainage systems proved to
be inadequate to address the flash flooding that occurs during the monsoon season.
Laguna Lake also overflows that floods the coastal Barangays.
Extreme traffic congestion has been observed at the Poblacion. This can be attributed to
the concentration of traffic generators within a very limited road area. This is aggravated by
the public market of Biñan that is considered the main public market frequented even by
residents from Carmona and Sta. Rosa.Bus terminals located in the Poblacion are
accessible through narrow roads, while FXs, jeepneys, and tricycles, and their terminals
consume most of the lanes dedicated to traffic for their parking.
The SLEX exit at Canlalay-San Francisco Road causes traffic congestion at the MSR end, as
this is only a one-lane barangay road. The Sto. Tomas road is also only a Barangay road
that functions as the sole west-east link.
For Biñanlike Calamba and Sta. Rosa, the existence of the lake and the railroad plus the
Manila South Road have confined earlier developments to the areas they enclose. Thus,
one will find that these are heavily built-up. With the new developments, the western side
became the high end. In view of these, new major transport infrastructure can be
constructed mainly on this side.
On the other hand, the transport links on the lakeside can only be subjected to short term
measures such as road rehabilitation, signalization, and intersection and circulation
improvements. As for the potential for ferry services, these may be introduced, but will most
probably cater to tourists and short distanced trips, being in direct competition with the
proposed MCX, which can provide reliable commuter service by rail. Moreover, congestion
problems on the access roads to the lakeshore will inhibit mass patronage as the western
side can offer better transport facilities.
Preliminary assessment of existing conditions indicates that the main transport concern is
traffic congestion brought about by the utility of narrow roads as primary connectors. While
there appears to be a large deficiency in total road length using the CALA benchmark of
2.5 kms. per 1000 population, the road density of 1.42 km per sq.km. meets the required 1
km/sq. km. Furthermore, it is noted that a substantial portion of the traffic, about 14%, are
to/from Metro Manila, mostly via the South Luzon Expressway. This, plus the fact that the
municipality is being served by the railway significantly reduces actual road requirement for
local traffic movements.
211
As for the future transport needs, the rate of traffic growth is not as high as that of the other
zones in the CALA area, and much of the increase can be absorbed by the planned
improvements in the railway services. While investments should be focused on short-term
action programs such as traffic management and improvement of existing facilities, missing
road links will still need to be provided.
The most vital step towards decongestion of traffic and the provision of a more efficient
transport network is prudent planning of land use developments as can be exemplified in
the Poblacion where urban renewal is the sole viable strategy. While the existing narrow
roads are not suited to accommodate the public transport vehicles, road widening in the
built-up areas remains difficult. Thus, the transfer of transport terminals outside the Poblacion
will be required.
6.1.1 Inventory of Roads by System Classification and Type of Pavement

There were a total of 74.5 kilometers of concrete roads and .5 kilometers of asphalted roads.
The existing national road (Manila South Road) from Barangay Canlalay to Barangay
Platero is continuously improved and rehabilitated (widening, drainage canals, road
safety) by the DPWH to increase its capacity particularly its being a traffic congested
areas. Provincial and City roads need improvement and rehabilitation particularly Malvar,
Mabini, San Antonio, Canlalay, and the roads going to the Barangays.

The City of Binan is accessible to all types of land transportation via South Luzon Expressway. Inter-
and intra-city movements are facilitated by the system of roads. The City has an extensive system
of well-paved roads except for some areas that need for repair and improvement. Established
built-up areas are located along major routes making them more accessible and ease of mobility.
The entire road network in the city is composed of a total length of 20.31 kilometers. Except for
Mamplasan Road which is 10.32-meter wide, majority of the city roads have an average width of
5.0 meters. Road surfaces are either of asphalt, gravel, earth, or concrete.
Roads are administratively classified as city and barangay roads. Except for national roads which is

PNR has a station in Binan. Since the railway network is not in operation, the station is in its
deteriorating state that needs to be restored and improved. Its re-opening and operation could
ease the traffic and help in the transport of people and goods from Binan to places like Metro

6.1.8 Transportation Analysis Matrix

The national road in Binan is experiencing traffic congestion due to heavy volume of
vehicles despite the widening undertaken and the relocation of obstructive utility posts.
Quality of road conditions has to be addressed in view of intrusion of water seepage in
pavements and the heavy loaded cargo trucks that ply along the road. Load limits are
not monitored due to the lack of weighing stations in strategic areas.
221
Safety concerns along the road also need to be addressed such as flooding, insufficient
lighting and signage. Roads in industrial barangays needs widening, drainage, lighting and
signage. The national highway in the nearby Malvar Road with traffic lights are traversed by
three small roads causing traffic by public vehicles, private cars, trucks, buses and three
wheeled vehicles.
Biñan needs to strengthen its Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure

especially the broadband connections and to provide faster communications for business
processes and disaster risk information dissemination. Despite the use of installed telephone
(Intelco, PLDT), there is a huge demand for wireless phone subscription as customers are
shifting to wireless telephones or mobile phones. The benefits are in costs, affordability,
flexibility and accessibility. Number of cell sites with broadband or internet connections has
to increase.
The issue of slow internet connections needs to be resolved as in other places. For example,
DSL has an average internet speed ranging from 1mbps with data capping limitations and
a minimum of 2 - year service contract/lock- in period. For a “Smarter Biñan”, it will need
faster and reliable internet connection for the transmission of large amounts of data for
daily personal transactions and business services for IT BPO industry.
Biñan should encourage through the provision of incentives to investors to put up quality
telecommunication infrastructure and office spaces to support the booming IT BPO industry.
There is a need to position Biñan for the impending operation of Laguna Lake ferry boats
with terminal stations in Barangays DeLa Paz and Malaban.
Contributing to traffic congestion are the big number of motorized and non-motorized three
wheeled vehicles providing convenience to commuters in various barangays. From those
with legitimate franchise to operate, there are colorum vehicles plying the roads, streets
and highway of Biñan. There should be efficient ways of regulating them.

PROJECT TITLE SAN FRANCISCO ROAD WIDENING FROM SLEX TO OLD NATIONAL
HIGHWAY: 1,000 METERS +/-
ENGINEERING CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS AND RIGHT OF WAY
MAP
TO SERVE THE FF. Whole City; Barangays San Francisco, Canlalay, Casile, De La
BARANGAYS Paz, Malaban, Poblacion, Others
PROJECT BRIEF The project is to widen the existing San Francisco Road (formerly
Halang Road) from SLEX to the Old National Highway from a
one-lane each way to a two-lane each way road. The road
shall be widened to a 25-meter Right of Way. Several existing
structures shall be demolished and properties need to be
acquired along the widening.
RATIONALE The project is a major component of the Main Loop Road
northeast of SLEX as shown on the proposed 2018 Biñan Traffic
Circulation Master Plan.
The existing one-lane each way road is too narrow for the
current vehicle volume being used for residential, commercial
222
and industrial purposes for ingress and egress to SLEX/San

Francisco/Southwoods Junction.
The road shall be a 25-meter R/W with concrete sidewalks on

both sides with street lights on both sides on staggered location.
Both sides shall be zoned for commercial or for mix-use purposes
with a 6.5 meter front structure setback for private parking
purposes. No parking shall be allowed on the road.
The road R/W shall be used to installation of the proposed main

storm drain line (60” pipe +/-) serving the local drainage
tributaries of Barangay San Francisco in the Southwoods area
then discharging the storm water to Binan River in Barangay De
La Paz. Local drainage tributaries along the main storm drain
line such as Barangay Casile and De La Paz shall be connected
to the proposed 60” main line.
Public Vehicles may be allowed for the use of the proposed

road with some restrictions.
OBJECTIVES • To decongest the traffic in Barangay San Francisco and
in order to serve the City of Biñan for the next 30-50
years.

PROJECT TITLE URBAN TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

TO SERVE THE FF. Biñan City
MUNICIPALITIES
PROJECT BRIEF The study shall identify and look into the various traffic flow problems
in the selected urban areas. Various data requirements will be
collected, including traffic surveys such as traffic counts, detailed
road inventories and plotting of critical traffic generators.
Recommendations on how the traffic concerns can be addressed
shall then be formulated including rationalization of public transport
routes and services.
Engineering designs and estimated costs for the proposed

improvements as well as the detailed steps for immediate
implementation shall be arrived at. There will also be a provision for
technical staff training and generation of guidelines in resolving future
traffic management concerns particularly for the CLUP.
PROJECT TIMING The resultant measure will be those that can be implemented in the
short term, ideally within 2 years, with the exception of projects that
will involve property acquisition.
RATIONALE There is an urgent need to augment existing LGU capabilities in
matters concerning traffic management. The traffic congestion being
experienced in the built up areas evidences this. While future
developments shall be supported with the construction of new roads
and the provision of public transport services, the present problems
can generally be addressed with short-term measures, which will
significantly ease vehicular and pedestrian movements. Immediate
identification and formulation of traffic management schemes is
necessary in order to avoid further clogging of activity zones that will
hamper the envisioned development plans in the important regional
centers.
Furthermore, technology transfer for the local staff will be most useful
in addressing future traffic management concerns. It should be noted
that this is crucial for the CLUDP in view of economic growth that is
realized from the development plans.

6.2 DRAINAGE
Refer to Concept Drainage Master Plan Annex 6, Volume 1
The Biñan River and the Laguna de Bay serve as main receiving water bodies for stormwater
runoff. A system of storm drainage systems in the urban areas, residential areas and
industrial estates convey runoff to these natural water bodies. These consist of reinforced-
concrete pipes, open canals either lined or unlined and reinforced-concrete rectangular
culverts. Flooding is limited to tidal flooding in the lakeshore areas, in particular portions of
the areas in Barangays Malaban, De La Paz, and San Jose. At worse, the flooding reaches
a foot deep and does not subside for at least two days. Flooding also occurs in areas
where the drain capacities are inadequate.
Flooding in the Shoreland

The flooding and accompanying destruction brought about by typhoons Ondoy and
Pepeng in 2009 was indeed a wake-up call for agencies concerned to anticipate and
prepare for similar hazard events in the future. One significantly undesirable effect of the
flooding event was the displacement of around 100,000 households in the 270-hectare
Lupang Arenda informal settlements in Taytay, Rizal. The flood-displaced households were
234
on the shoreland area of the lake which is the shallow portion of the land that is subjected
to rainfall fluctuations. During the dry season, the minimum lakeshore elevation is about 10.5
meters above LLDA datum level while during the rainy season, the annual mean high water
elevation is 12.5 meters, although a peak elevation may reach as high as 14.6 meters for a
100-year recurrence interval which actually occurred during typhoon Ondoy’s visit.
The flood-prone lakeshore area would be the portion between 10.5 meters and 14.6 meters
above the LLDA datum level. During the flooding incident, the water level was reported to
have reached 14.5 meters during the 100-year flooding cycle, with the 90,000-hectare lake
creeping into the lakeshores by 10,000 hectares. The land uses in this shoreland area are
predominantly agricultural, followed to a smaller extent by residential, industrial and
commercial uses – all making up about two-thirds of the area. The remaining portions are
marshes and swamps. The situation marked by a high susceptibility of the shoreland to
flooding and its attractiveness to a myriad of uses seriously calls for a rational planning
intervention.
There are, of course, a number of significant anthropogenic causes with regard to the
abnormal flooding that transpired around the shoreland area and these are: the rampant
denudation of the forest areas in the large Marikina watershed and in the other sub-
watershed surrounding the lake; waterways; non-observance of open easements along
rivers and other waterways; poor maintenance and use of engineering flood control
structures such as the Napindan Hydraulic Control Structure and the Manggahan floodway;
and unregulated subdivision and other real estate developments on steep slopes within the
sub-watersheds.
Urban Flooding
Flooding has been a frequent problem in the Laguna Lake Basin. Flood infrastructure
projects cannot get by with the fast increase in population, urbanization and land form
changes that marked the transition of towns in the Western Bay of the Laguna Lake Basin
from agriculture to urban. Irrigation weirs and canals supplied the irrigation requirements of
these towns before their urban transformation in the 1980’s. There is no change in the
irrigation system when residential housing, commercial and industrial space substituted
agriculture. This old system cannot hold huge volume of floodwaters going to the lake.
(Laguna de Bay Basin Master Plan: 2016 and Beyond)
Biňan and San Pedro Rivers

After typhoon Santi (October 2009) ceased, the extent of flooded areas brought about by
overflowed waterways in the targeted areas. In San Pedro Laguna alone, more than 27,000
families in the lakeside barangays of Cuyab, Landayan and San Roque were heavily
affected by the flash flood caused by the relentless rains during the typhoon Ondoy and
Santi.
For the total project cost of Php 200 Million allocated for Biñan and San Pedro Rivers, the
flood control project is intended to protect lives and properties, increase the capacity of
the waterways and minimize the flooding problems of the lakeside communities of San
Pedro and Biñan. The flood control project consists of the construction and/or rehabilitation
of river control structures with reinforced concrete river walls on steel sheet piles and
excavating the earthen embankment to widen the river and increase its flood conveyance
capacity. The aggregate length of the river banks rehabilitated and stabilized is about 780
linear meters for Biñan River and about 770 linear meters for San Pedro River.
235
For Biñan: San Pedro-Biñan watershed

The modeltemplate for River Basin Action planning consists of following: (a) mapping the
watershed; (b) comprehensive survey of the river system and its watershed; (c)
development of a vision for a healthy river system and watershed; and (d) formulation of a
River Rehabilitation and ProtectionPlan for their respective river system.

6.3 SEWERAGE
At present, there is no public sewerage system. Domestic wastewater is disposed of
through soil percolation or through drainage canals or directly to surface water bodies.
Septic tanks reduce the pollution load but these are not maximized as these are usually
poorly designed and constructed and has little maintenance. Also, it is noted that septic
tank systems are not extensively used in the rural areas.
The industrial estates operate their own sewerage collection and treatment systems. The
treatment plants are secondary systems, which are designed to treat wastewater to within
the DENR standards.
6.3.1 Inventory of Sewerage System

There is no available data on the sewerage system
6.3.2 Sewerage Analysis Matrix

Sewage is generated by residential, institutional, commercial and industrial establishments.
It includes household waste from toilets, baths, showers, kitchens and sinks draining into
sewers. In some countries, sewage also includes liquid waste from industry and commerce.
In the US and Europe, the separation and draining of household waste into greywater and
blackwater are being practiced with the treated greywater being permitted to be used for
watering plants or recycled for flushing toilets.
Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from waste water mostly from
household sewage. It includes physical, chemical and biological processes to remove these
contaminants and produce environmentally safer treated waste water or effluent. A
byproduct of waste water treatment is semi solid waste called sewage sludge that has to
undergo further treatment before being suitable for disposal or land application. Storm
water runoff may be part of the treatment to remove contaminants including soil particles,
heavy metals organic compounds, animal waste, oil and grease.
The Biñan Sewage Water Treatment can be located in appropriate location where sewage
water can travel towards treatment plants via piping and in a flow aided by gravity and
240
pumps. The first part of filtration of sewage typically includes a bar screen to filter solids and
large objects which are then collected in dumpsters and disposed of in landfills.
Fat and grease is also removed before the primary treatment of sewage, secondary,
tertiary through filtration, lagoons or ponds, biological nutrient removal, nitrogen removal,
phosphorus removal, disinfection using chlorination, ultraviolet and ozone application. The
fourth treatment stage is the removal of pharmaceuticals, household chemicals, or
pesticides that will lead to water pollution. Odor control is part of the treatment process.
The establishment of an appropriate scale or capacity of the Biñan Sewage Treatment

Plant as a medium size city with high urban population and industries would require pre FS,
full blown FS, detailed engineering, financial study with estimates of FIRR, EIRR, sensitivity
analysis, among others, as basis in the mode of implementation such as joint venture, build
operate transfer, and its variants. Funding can be secured from grants of bilateral and
multilateral donor countries such as ADB, World Bank, USAID, AUSAID, among others.
Approval process will involve the evaluation of the NEDA Region 4-A, RDC 4-A
endorsement, evaluation by the PPP Center before going to the NEDA Board for final
approval and implementation.

6.4 POWER
Since the 1960’s, Biñan has been served by the Meralco as part of its franchise area with
many substations and transmission lines served by the National Grid Corporation of the
Philippines (NGCP) connected to the Luzon Grid of Makiling Banahao and Tiwi, Albay
Geothermal Plants. They provide reliable power supply ever since except the power crisis in
the 1980s. The cost of power is relatively high at 10.25 – 9.25 pesos per kilowatt hour for
commercial and industrial users, respectively.

WATER SERVICE PROVIDER
Except for some upland Barangays, Laguna Water, a subsidiary of Ayala owned Manila
Water has been providing potable water extracted from the Matangtubig spring in
Cabuyao distributed in its concessionaire areas in Cabuyao, Santa Rosa and Biñan. Some
residential subdivisions have deep well contained in elevated water tanks while some
low income families still use shallow wells for household uses. Big companies in the industrial
estates extract bulk water deep beneath the ground with permits from the National Water
Regulatory Board (NWRB).
243
Water Resources
The City of Biñan sources its water from Laguna Water. Some barangays utilize deep wells as
their source of water supply.
The groundwater availability and carrying capacities for the City of Biñan based on
groundwater resources, water extraction per unit area and population density. With a safe
yield extraction rate of 12.12 lps/km2, Biñan has one of the highest groundwater capacities
among the lakeshore towns.
The carrying capacities are calculated from estimates of safe groundwater yield and
exclude potential supply from surface water bodies. Based on 1998 estimated population
density of 4,037 ca/km2, it is calculated that present water extraction levels are
approximately 73% of the safe groundwater yield. Future development should take into
careful consideration the availability of water source alternatives.
Most of the barangays are rated well in terms of groundwater development. Only portions
of barangays San Francisco and Biñan are considered as poor sources of groundwater.
The major surface water bodies traversing the City are the Biñan and Sta. Rosa rivers. Based
on water quality and water use, Sta. Rosa River is classified as Class B and could potentially
be tapped for industrial water supply.
Water Utilities
The water concessionaire - Laguna Water provides piped water distribution system
extracting ground water in Cabuyao and Laguna Lake.
In terms of Level III water systems, the town is served by the Laguna Provincial Waterworks
System which covers also the towns of Sta. Rosa and Cabuyao. In Biñan, this system serves
a population of approximately 4,600 ca or only about 2.6% of the total town population.
The industrial estates are served by independent Level III systems operated and maintained
by the industrial estates' operators. Deep wells are tapped to supply the water
requirements of the industries. NWRB has granted around 6 water permits for industrial use.
Total allowed extraction rate is around 60.00 lps or about 5,184 m3/day
BULK WATER SUPPLY FROM LAGUNA LAKE

Currently, ground water is being used as source of potable water by residents, commercial
and industrial establishments which are not sustainable 20 to 30 years from now that may
result in water crisis/stress. Ground subsidence, sink holes and liquefaction have been
experienced in several countries extracting huge quantity of ground water that can
happen also in parts of the country like Laguna, Biñan and Santa Rosa.
Laguna Lake with too much surplus water especially during the monsoon season inundates
the coastal cities and municipalities in Laguna and Rizal dislocating the residents and
affecting the livelihood of people especially the low-income families and small fishermen.
During the dry season, the lake water recedes but still replenished by rivers, streams and
springs around Laguna especially the Matang Tubig spring in Cabuyao, Bucal spring in
Calamba and Malinao spring in Majayjay.
The answer to the twin problems mentioned above is to extract bulk water coming from
Laguna Lake, treat them to remove the contaminants using cutting edge technology and
244
sold to private water concessionaires such as Laguna Water, Manila Water, Maynilad Water
and water districts for use by the residents, business and industries.
Laguna Lake, the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia has a total surface area of
84,000 hectares (900 square kilometers) with a water holding capacity of about 2.9 billion
cubic meters. The total area of the watershed and lake proper is 3,813. 2 square kilometers
with 22 major river sub basins around Laguna and Rizal. Ground water also seeps out to
Laguna Lake or discharges into streams which flow out to the Lake. However, the Lake and
its watersheds as protected areas with critical environmental conditions must be sustained
in the long term.
The Paranaque and Pacific Spillway Projects will not be as cost effective if studies
undertaken as putting up this Laguna Lake Bulk Water Treatment facilities in strategic areas
of Laguna and Rizal that will answer the wanton extraction of limited ground water
resources and perennial flooding problems of coastal communities.

6.6 INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

Intelco has the franchise to operate telephone services in Biñan since the1960s but has no direct
dialing services to Metro Manila and the provinces. With the entry of PLDT in the 1970s, land line
telephone services were provided and expanded with direct subscription line. Soon Globe, Smart
and Digitel followed suit with mobil phone and broadband internet services.
As the city modernizes, it is linked to world through the facilities of satellite based cable television
providers such as Cignal, Skycable, Royal Cable and Dream TV with local and international
television programs such as CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, TV France, Fox TV, HBO, Discovery Channels,
others.
The internet provided opportunities for growth of on line social media like Facebook that makes
post office services obsolete in sending messages. Courier services in sending money, letters,
packages are the new lifestyle of urban life. There are no broadcast stations and newspaper
circulating except the tabloids printed in the Region and newsletters in high end villages.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND BUSINESS PROCESS MANAGEMENT (IT BPM)

Biñan needs to strengthen its Information Communication Technology (ICT) infrastructure especially
the broadband connection and to provide faster communications for business processes and
disaster risk information dissemination. Despite the use of installed telephone lines by PLDT which
must expand the area coverage of the fiber optic lines, there is a huge demand for wireless phone
subscription as customers are shifting to wireless telephones or mobile phones. The benefits are in
costs, affordability, flexibility and accessibility. The number of tower cell sites with broadband or
internet connections has to increase. For smarter Biñan, it will require faster and reliable internet
connection for the transmission of large amounts of data for daily personal transactions and
business services for IT BPM industry.
For this purpose, we have identified the best possible growth areas for the said industry in the
Southwoods Business Center spearheaded by the Megaworld with dedicated buildings for the
voice and non-voice services to start the IT BPM industry of Biñan. Megaworld in Eastwood, Quezon
City has done it. One Asia Business Center within the Jubilation complex can also have locator
companies involved in voice and non-voice services. This significant development will place Biñan
in the radar of the Next Wave City program of the DTI, DOST and the Business Processing
Association of the Philippines (BPAP) for promotion, marketing and technical assistance.
Appropriate fiscal and non-fiscal incentives in the Investment Code of Biñan are needed to foster
the growth of the IT BPM industry including the home based operation of small players. There is a
need for sufficient number of quality talent for further skills development especially English
communication graduates of academic institutions in Biñan knowing the selective hiring practices
of companies such as Convergys, Teletech, IBM, People Support, others.
