3.1.1. Topography and Slope
Rizal’s topography is characterized by a combination of valleys and mountains.

The flat low-lying areas are located on the western section of the province while
the gently rolling hills and a few rugged ridges which form part of the southern
foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountain ranges can be found in the province’s
eastern portion. The lowland areas occur in some parts of Angono, Binangonan,
Cainta, Taytay, Rodriguez, and San Mateo and in the coastal areas of Tanay,
Pililla, Cardona, Morong, Baras and Jalajala. Slightly rolling, undulating and steep
highland areas spread over portions of Antipolo, Teresa, Tanay and Rodriguez.
Long stretches of mountain ridges that mark the limit of the Rizal watershed can
be seen in the eastern sections of Rodriguez, following the course of the Sierra
Madre Range. Elevation is almost 2,000 feet while slope ranges usually go
beyond 45 degrees. Talim Island, which forms part of the municipalities of
Cardona and Binangonan, extends 13 miles long in the middle of Laguna de Bay
and skirts Rizal’s southern shores.
Slope, which controls the direction and often the quantity of surface drainage and
influences soil erosion susceptibility and rainfall infiltration into the soil, is one of
the most important land characteristics being considered in land use suitability
evaluation.
The 10.55 percent of Rizal’s total land area is within the 0 to 8 percent slope.
These are level to undulating lands and best suited for agriculture, urban and rural
settlements, industrial, institutional and infrastructure development. Around 25.39
percent or 33,232 hectares of the province’ land areas have slopes of 8 to 18
percent which are moderately sloping to rolling and also suitable for agriculture.
These slope ranges can be found in the western portions of Rodriguez, San
Mateo, Antipolo, Teresa, Cainta and the lakeshore parts of Taytay, Angono,
Binangonan, Cardona, Baras, Tanay, Pililla, Jalajala and Morong.
Areas with slopes ranging from 18 to 30 percent slope or strongly sloping to

moderately steep are suited for plantation forest. These areas are only 0.25
percent of the province’ total land area these are in the western portion of
Antipolo, in parts of Angono, Teresa, Baras, Cardona and the western half of
Tanay.
The steep hills and mountains have areas within the 30 to 50 percent slope and
are suitable for production forests which have an area of 33,950 hectares which
comprise of the 25.94 percent of Rizal’s total land area.
The remaining 37.89 percent of the province’ land has a slope gradient of more
than 50 percent which are solely for forest reserve mountains. These can be
found mostly in Rodriguez, in the eastern section of Antipolo and in the eastern
portion of Tanay

3.1.2. Land and Water Resources
There are about 165 rivers, streams and springs in Rizal Province. Around two-
thirds of these traverse the towns of Cainta, Rodriguez, Tanay and Taytay. The
major river systems include the following: Montalban-San Mateo-Marikina Rivers,
Morong River, Pinugay River in Rodriguez and Tanay River. These streams flow
from their headwaters in the Sierra Madre highlands into Laguna de Bay.
The Marikina River, the biggest in the province, rises from the mountains of
Rodriguez and drains into the Marikina valley. Passing through the towns of
Rodriguez and San Mateo, it joins the Pasig River at Napindan, both emptying
their water into Manila Bay.
A number of springs and waterfalls can also be found in Antipolo, Baras, Cardona,
Pililla, Rodriguez and Tanay. Springs are a source of drinking water.
Underground water resources are abundant throughout the province, particularly

in the western part, which are in San Mateo, Taytay and Cainta.

3.1.2.1 Laguna de Bay
Laguna de Bay is one of the largest lakes in Southeast Asia, the largest and one
of the most vital inland bodies of water in the Philippines. It is situated at the heart
of the CALABARZON area, and the Province of Rizal bound it on the north.
The Laguna de Bay basin is located 1355’ to 14 50’ N latitude and 120 50’ to 121
45’ E longitude in Luzon Island, Philippines. It is 15 km. southeast of Metro
Manila and it encompasses 61 municipalities and cities within six provinces, of
which 29 towns are lakeshore and 32 non-lakeshore towns.
According to the national census in 2007, around 14.406 million people have
established residence around the lake. The lake surface area is 900 square kms.
With a volume of 2.19 billion cubic meters at 2.5 – meter average depth.
Rizal Province is endowed with around 51,000 hectares of fishing area within its
territorial waters. Of the 13 municipalities and one city, nine (9) are lakeshore
areas translating to 88 lakeshore barangays.
The Marikina Watershed slopes southward toward the Laguna Lake Basin. Within
the whole watershed, there are sub-watersheds that are drained off by minor
rivers, which empty into Laguna de Bay.
3.1.2.1.1 Topography
The topography of Laguna de Bay is influenced by volcanoes, sedimentation

Physical Resources
processes and fault lines. The area is 35% gentle, 45% rolling, 15% steep and
5% very steep. The northern part of the watershed is characterized by a series of
rolling hills with high to moderate reliefs. Among these are Binangonan peninsula,
Talim Island, Jalajala peninsula and the Famy valley, which is flanked to the east
by the Caliraya plateau. The southern portion of the watershed is best described
by the presence of a group of volcanic cones with numerous smaller cinder cones
and crater lakes. The major part of the remote places or thinly inhabited areas is
covered mostly with forest which includes most of limestone hills. The lower
alluvial areas and valleys are normally planted to seasonal rice, vegetables, fruit
trees and other short season crops.
3.1.2.1.2 Slope
Of the basin area of 300,979 has., 21% is level to nearly level (0-3%). These are
in lakeshore areas where remaining rice lands can be found. About 13% is gently
sloping (2-8%) and 27% is undulating to rolling (8-18% slope). These are found
towards the southern to eastern portion of the Laguna Lake basin. The steep and
very steep slopes of 30-50% account for 29% of the basin and are found in the
mountainous areas of Mt. Makiling, Mt. Banahaw, Mt Cristobal in the south,
southeastern part of Laguna and Batangas and along the Sierra Madre range in
the east to northeastern areas of Marikina sub-basin.
3.1.2.1.3 The 24 Sub-Basins of Laguna Lake
The Laguna de bay basin is subdivided into 24 hydrological sub-basins from

which over 100 rivers and streams drain toward the lake. Twenty-two of these are
major river systems including one outlet, the Pasig River through the Napindan
Channel. The Manggahan Channel diverts part of the Marikina River into Laguna
Lake. The only outlet of the Lake is the Napindan channel which at its confluence
joins the Marikina river, forming the Pasig River, which meander along a 27
kilometer long course westward through a major part of metropolitan manila
before eventually discharging into Manila Bay. (Source: Hydrologic Atlas of LLDA 2012)

2. Map of Laguna Lake
The lake is a major lifeline for most of the countryside town people. Fisheries is
still the lake’s most dominant use as of the present, with an estimated annual
potential yield of 80,000 to 90,000 MT for both fishpens and open watered
fisheries. Croplands in the lakeshore towns, aside from feeding locals contribute
significantly to the food supply of Metro Manila.
The 94,900-hectare Laguna Lake provides a major transport route that makes
mobility within the lake and around lakeshore towns easier. At present the lake is
also a source of domestic water supply though in a limited basis. In the long term,
Laguna de Bay is being considered as a major source that will help supply the
domestic water requirements of nearby towns.
The Lake is home to a variety of organisms that comprise its biodiversity pool. It
also serves as habitat for various species of birds. It is believed that 17 bird
species maybe found in Mt. Makiling Forest Reserve, while 20 species maybe
found in the Pakil and Real Areas.
Every year, around 4.5 million metric tons of debris is dumped in Laguna Lake.
Compounding the problem are 24 rivers and creeks feeding polluted water into the
lake. The growth of informal settlements around the lake also contributes to the
lake’s dreadful conditions. The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA)—the
government agency tasked with protecting and implementing environmental laws
in the lake—estimated that around 400,000 informal settlers are living near the
lake.
The water quality of the lake has deteriorated due to decades of neglect, poor
environmental law enforcement, and the unregulated growth of industrial and
residential zones. A 2011 study by the University of the Philippines Los Baños
(UPLB) found that the lake contains high levels of the female hormone estrogen
due to untreated sewage and urine dumped into the lake. The study also said that
around 2 million people without access to proper sewage systems, such as septic
tanks, live around the lake and contribute to its deterioration.
As a result of pollution and the accumulation of silt, the depth of the lake has
decreased from 10 meters to about 2.8 meters. The huge amount of silt and
debris in the lake clogged the natural flow of water to Manila Bay and was among
the reasons blamed for the sudden increase in water levels in the lake during
Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) in 2009, water level in the 90,000 hectare lake rose to
13.8 meters above sea level which is near the 13.95 meter level recorded during
Ondoy in September 2009, higher than Typhoon Ulysses in November 2020
which recorded 13.6 meters. This posted a tough problem in the surrounding
municipalities because of the slow-paced receding of water making it stagnant
eventually turning it murky and stinky.
Pollution in Laguna Lake includes water and thermal erosion. The province is a
host to several potentially pollutive industrial firms. Aside from those located near
the lakes, there are industries whose discharges go into rivers, which empty into
the lake basin. Thermal pollution is another problem in the lake in the sense that
increased temperatures can affect the lakes biotic-abiotic relationships. This kind
of pollution would be traceable to industries around the lake basin. Industries that
have cooling systems use water as a cooling agent, which is ultimately,
discharged as heated water into the lake. Heated water directly kills lake
organisms or abets the natural growth of certain organisms that disturbs the
|
Physical Resources
balance of the lake ecosystems.
Contributing also a significant amount of pollution to the lake are urban wastes
from the squatter and non-squatter residents of coastal towns. Agricultural
practices like fertilizer and pesticide application further constitute potent sources
of pollution.
Prior to Ondoy and Ulysses, the lake's normal level of 12.5 meters which prior to
Ondoy was last breached in 1978 at 13.58 meters and in 1919 at 14.62 meters,
also during typhoons.
Today, the lake is but a shadow of its former pristine quality and charm. As a
result of the dumping of industrial, domestic and agricultural wastes, the lake’s
water has turned turbid, brown, dirty and smelly. The input of nutrient from
surrounding sources has made the lake highly eutrophic. It is not surprising to
hear fish kills, fish diseases, slow fish growth and decreasing harvest and
productivity.
Clearly, rehabilitation of the Laguna Lake is an urgent concern that needs to be

immediately addressed by the government. Other factors, including deforestation
and the relocation of settlement areas around the lake, should be considered in
addressing the ecosystem problem of the Laguna Lake. Careful planning of
desilting Laguna Lake can also help improve the depth of the lake and its holding
capacity for rainwater and floodwater and can help in lessening the flooding
problem in surrounding municipalities and barangays. Also, the surrounding
municipalities should have their own wastewater treatment plant (WTP), as
suggested by Dr. Decibel V. Faustino-Eslava, a geologist and the dean of the
School of Environmental Science and Management (SESAM) at the University of
the Philippines-Los Baños.
The land and the waters of the Laguna Lake Region are limited natural resources
requiring judicious management for their optimal utilization. The Laguna Lake
Region “refer to the Provinces of Rizal and Laguna; the cities of San Pablo,
Pasay, Caloocan, Quezon, Manila and Tagaytay; the towns of Tanauan. Sto.
Tomas and Malvar in Batangas Province, the towns of Silang and Carmona in
Cavite Province; the town of Lucban in Quezon Province, and the towns of
Marikina, Pasig, Taguig, Muntinlupa, and Pateros in Metro Manila”.
The Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA) was organized by virtue of

Republic Act No. 4850 as a quasi-government agency with regulatory and
proprietary functions. Through Presidential Decree 813 in 1975, and E.O. 927 in
1983, its powers and functions were further strengthened to include environmental
protection and jurisdiction over the lake basin’s surface water. In 1993, through
E.O. 149, the administrative supervision over LLDA was transferred from the
Office of the President to the DENR. The representative of Rizal province sits as
one of the governing board of the LLDA.
Prohibited acts stated in the Provincial Ordinance No. 08-008, “An Ordinance
Prescribing Guidelines for Environmental Regulations in the Province of Rizal”
that shall cause pollution from any person, partnership association and
corporation such as “dumping and discharging of garbage, refuse, sewer waste,
debris, toxic waste and other pollutants into the Laguna De Bay shall be dealt with
in accordance with the provisions of R.A. 9275 or “The Philippine Clean Water
Act” and Provincial Ordinance No. 96-03, “Rizal Anti-Garbage/Waste Dumping
Ordinance.

The Laguna lake Development Authority (LLDA) announced in November 2020

that they have approved a P609 billion Build-Own-Operate (BOO) Proposal for the

3.1.3. Geological Features
Cretaceous-Paleocene, Oligocene, Paleocene-Eocene are rocks formed by

magma or molten rock. Two last known igneous rock types are the basalt and
granite. These rocks can be found in Tanay and Rodriguez.
Oligocene-Miocene, Paleocene, Upper Miocene-Pliocene are sedimentary and

metamorphic rocks. Sedimentary rocks are born cool at the earth’s surface and
these rocks can be found in Rodriguez, San Mateo, Antipolo, Cainta and Taytay.
Mud, sand gravel, and clay are examples of sedimentary rocks. On the other
hand, metamorphic rocks result from mineralogical and structural adjustments of
solid rocks to physical and chemical conditions differing from those under which
the rocks originally formed. Examples of these are slate and schist.

3.1.3.1 Soil Type and Soil Series
Table 27 shows the predominant soil series and soil types in each town, with all
towns having clay, mostly clay loam type and with a number of undifferentiated
soils in Antipolo and Rodriguez. The towns of Cainta, Cardona, Rodriguez, San
Mateo and Taytay have silt type of soil.
Antipolo Clay. The largest single type of soil overlying the Province of Rizal, it is
characterized by a surface soil that is reddish brown in color, very friable and
finely granular clay. The subsoil contains various types and sizes of concretions
depending on the depth. Rice and corn can be cultivated on this soil if terraced.
Cashew and duhat thrive best on this soil especially on the upper slopes.
Baras Clay. This type is suitable for agriculture.
Boulevard Clay. This type of soil is commonly found along the shores of Laguna
de Bay. Its fine grained surface materials are deposited by the Lake water. This
soil is fine textured and friable when dry but sticky when wet and suitable for rice
cultivation.
San Luis Clay. It is dark brown to nearly black clay, coarse granular to cloddy
when dry and sticky when wet. Rice and corn could be cultivated on this soil.
The undifferentiated soils are suitable for cultivation, being largely sloping and
eroded.
Clay soils, although rich in minerals may not be ideal for agriculture on account of
their sticky nature when wet and their hard nature when dry.
Clay loam is better for agriculture because of the silt component since silt allows
aeration, seepage and general friability. Because of this, the Marikina Silt loam is
adjudged to be the best soil in the province. The generally claying soils maybe
enhanced with proper soil amendments for increased agricultural productivity.
3.1.3.2 Soil Types and Its susceptibility on landslides
The province of Rizal is dominated by clay and clay loam soil types. These types
of soil have almost the same properties. They are good for agriculture because of
their capacity to have better seepage and aeration.
In terms of landslides, factors aside from the soil type affect the movement of the
soil such as gravity. In the hilly portions of Rizal such in Antipolo, Angono,
Teresa, Baras, Cardona, western half of Tanay, and Rodriguez, where
predominantly clay or clay loam soils can be found, process of erosion hastens
because of the mountainous and steep portions where the effect of gravity is
prominent. Rain falls and enters the top soil making it heavier and more
vulnerable to the pull of gravity. Once that the soil becomes saturated, it becomes
more susceptible to the pull of gravity causing the top layers of the soil to slide
downhill and thus making a significant portion of the provincial area suffer from
severe erosion.
|
Physical Resources
Another factor that contributes to erosion in relation to soil types is deforestation.

Clay and Clay loam soil types is said to be suitable for plants, specifically, for
agriculture. When planted by trees, the firm roots help to keep the soil in place,
even when it absorbs water, thus diminishing the effects that gravity has on the
soil. If left barren, idle or if when trees are uprooted, the soil remains vulnerable to
erosion because it is left defenseless against the pull of gravity when saturated
since trees help to keep soil firmly in place. Soil movement takes place more
easily and rapidly resulting in deadly landslides.

3.1.4. Mineral Resources
According to the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, the province of Rizal has only
2% of the total copper and 4% of the total gold deposits in the CALABARZON. Its
resources lie in the limestone (67%), shale/silica (53%), and concrete aggregates
(78%). The province of Rizal contributes 66% to the total production of the
CALABARZON.
Mining and Quarrying
Mining and Quarrying is the process of extracting minerals occurring naturally as

solids, such as coal and ores, such as crude petroleum; or gases, such as natural
gas. The Province of Rizal practices mining and quarrying in the municipalities of
Rodriguez, Antipolo, Teresa, Binangonan, Tanay, San Mateo, Angono, Baras and
Taytay. The practice is a controlled one and is aligned with the guidelines for
mining and quarrying by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, thus, maintaining
the balance of mineral resources in the soils’ of the province.
Metallic Minerals
The two known metallic minerals of significant quantities are gold and copper,
which lie mostly in Puray, Rodriguez and iron ore found in Santa Ines, Tanay and
Antipolo, City.
Non-metallic Minerals
Non-metallic minerals are observed to have more variety and volume than metallic
minerals in the province. Red burning clay has been found in Antipolo, Tanay and
Baras making these towns the potential nucleus for ceramic, pottery and brick–
making industries.
Construction materials abound in the form of rock aggregates, basalt and volcanic
tuff or adobe/boulders can be found in Angono, Antipolo, Binangonan, Cardona,
Pililla, Rodriguez, San Mateo and Teresa.
Construction materials in the form of sand and gravel and limestone abound in the
riverside areas of Rizal, but most of the gathering occurs in Rodriguez with some
being done in San Mateo. Cement raw materials are also plentiful and these
occur in the form of limestone, dacite, diorite, siliceous sand and shale-sandstone.
These materials can be found in Barangay Tagbac and Abuyod, Antipolo City,
Barangay San Guillermo, Binangonan, Barangay Wawa, Rodriguez, Sitio
Cuyambay, Barangay Balimbing, Tanay, and Teresa.
Moreover, large limestone deposits located in Tanay. Antipolo and Teresa have
relatively small deposits (Map 7b).
In addition, existing mines and quarries in the Province of Rizal is detailed in the
Economy sector.

3.1.5. Climate
Rizal province has three climate types as delineated by the Philippine

Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA).
Type I climate is characterized by two pronounced seasons, dry from November
to April and wet during the rest of the year. This type is observed in both the
lowlands and highlands of the province particularly in the City of Antipolo and
Municipalities of Rodriguez, San Mateo, Cainta, Angono, Taytay, Binangonan,
Cardona, Teresa, Morong, Baras and Tanay.
Type III climate as observed in Antipolo City, Rodriguez, Tanay, Pililla and Jalajala
has a relatively dry climate from November to April and wet during the rest of the
year. These seasons are not very pronounced as compared to Type I climate.
Type IV climate, rainfall is more or less distributed throughout the year as

observed in the City of Antipolo and the Municipality of Tanay.
The temperature in Rizal based on the observed baseline from 1971 to 2000 of
PAGASA, shows the warmest temperature is March-April-May under high
emission with 27.9oC and June-July-August with 27.6oC. The months of
December-January-February shows relatively warmer temperature at 25.4oC and
September-October-November at 26.8oC.

For the year 2006 to 2035 (centered at 2020), the Province of Rizal will have a
warmer temperature. December-January-February will have a temperature
increase range of 0.3 to 1.1 °C, that is, from an observed baseline of 29.9 °C, it
will range from 30.2 to 31 °C. The same goes with the hottest months of the year,
March-April-May, from an observed baseline of 33.1 °C to an increase of 0.4 to
1.3 °C, that is, 33.5 to 34.4 °C. The months of June-July-August will also have
higher temperature ranging from 0.6 to 1.0 °C (32.3 to 32.7 °C) while the months
of September-October-November will also have an increase of 0.6 to 1.1 °C from
an observed baseline of 30.8 °C (31.4 to 31.9 °C) (Table 33).

3.1.5.3 Impact of Increased Temperature, Rainfall Variability
Climate change refers to any distinct change in measures in temperature, rainfall,

snow or wind patterns lasting for decades or longer. This is attributed to the
dramatic increase in greenhouse gas (GHG) emission contributed by human-
made and natural factors into the atmosphere, trapping heat and creating the
greenhouse effect or global warming.
There are already trends of increasing number of hot days and warm nights, but
decreasing number of cold days and cool nights. Both maximum and minimum
temperatures are generally warmer. Other extreme weather/climate events like
intense rains have been seen to be more frequent.
All sectors are affected by climate change and any increase in both temperature
and rainfall will greatly affect the dynamics of all the sectors.
Forest
|
Physical Resources
Increase in temperature and variability in rainfall will affect growth and

development of plants and animals in the forest. Some forest plants and wildlife
animal species may not survive. Forest fires may become frequent in forest and
grassland areas during El Niño episodes.
Agriculture
Increase in temperature will directly lead to an increase incidence of pests and

diseases. This will lead to lesser food production and crop yield which will affect
food supply and prices of vegetable crops. Another direct impact of increase in
temperature is that there will be a change in seasonal pattern. Because of the
dynamic shift from wet to drier seasons in all months of the year, there would be
prolonged extensions of drought. This can lead to two (2) things: low water supply
to irrigation and changes in cropping pattern. Lower supply of water irrigation will
lead to lesser yield which would mean lesser supply. This will cause prices to go
higher for the consumers. Change in cropping pattern, on the other hand, can
lead to change in production pattern per crop, that is, smaller areas will then be
allotted to rice while areas for vegetables which require lesser amount of water will
be increased. Moreover, changes in cropping pattern will affect food storage and
security.
Increase in rainfall, on the other hand, will result in water-level increase and
susceptibility to flooding. Increase in flood waters can submerge and kill crops
that are not resistant to water logging. Lesser production and crop yield will result
to lesser food supply and higher price for vegetable crops.
Heat stress, drier soils and water shortages as a result of higher temperatures will
affect livestock and crop production patterns with expanded range of weeds,
insects and diseases. Yield from fisheries may also be negatively affected by
upsets in established reproductive pattern, migration routes and ecosystem
relationship.
Reduction in rainfall during the summer season will result also in water shortage.
Irrigation water for farms will be less affecting food production. Water level in
dams will be low affecting energy production.
Urban
For the urban sector, warmer temperatures can cause an increase in health
problems and death due to greater frequency and severity of heat waves. Largely
to be affected are those suffering from respiratory and cardiovascular disorders as
they have lesser capacity to cope to extreme weather and temperature changes.
Changes in weather pattern can lead to an increase in the distribution of malaria,
and other vector-borne diseases. Moreover, weather changes can increase
incidence in skin cancer. Increase in temperature also makes urban heat islands
where the metropolitan area is warmer than the rural areas surrounding it. Energy
emitted from people, cars, factories, industrial buildings and the like, contribute to
the formation of GHG, the primary source of pollution and climate change. It is a
cycle where heat is brought back to where it came from.

Physical Resources
3.2.1.1 Alienable and Disposable
The total area of Alienable and Disposable land is 63,889 hectares or 48.81
percent of the total provincial area that comprise agricultural, residential,
industrial, commercial, mineral and other areas. Cainta has the smallest
agricultural area in the province of Rizal. Tanay still has some potentially cultivable
land found mostly in the Pinugay, Cuyambay and Sampaloc areas. Antipolo City
and San Mateo have the biggest residential areas as evident in the proliferation of
residential subdivision developments. These areas serve as “bedroom
communities” for Metro Manila.
3.2.1.2 Forestry
The total forest reserve of the province is 22,582 hectares or 17.25 percent of the
total land area. Around 43, 857 hectares or 33.51 percent are timberland and 564
hectares or 0.43 percent is military and naval reservations. However, around large
parts of these areas are either denuded or with only third growth forest which
could be attributed to the rapid influx of upland settlers from neighboring areas,
uncontrolled illegal logging, illegal kaingin-making and the conversion of forest
and agricultural lands into residential areas and the development of subdivisions.

3.2.1.3 Ancestral Domain Lands
The Republic Act No. 8371 or the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act of 1997 “‘An Act
to Recognize, Protect and Promote the Rights of Indigenous Cultural
Communities/ Indigenous Peoples, Creating a National Commission on
Indigenous Peoples, Establishing Implementing Mechanisms, Appropriating
Funds Therefor, and for Other Purposes” provides the legal framework for the
protection and recognition of indigenous peoples and cultural communities in the
Philippines. The law defines ancestral domain to include lands, inland waters,
coastal areas, and natural resources owned or occupied by Indigenous peoples,
by themselves or through their ancestors. The most important feature of the IPRA
is the recognition, promotion and protection of the rights of the IPs to their
ancestral domains and ancestral lands. It ensures the economic, social and
cultural well-being and recognizes the applicability of customary laws governing
property rights among others.
The National Commission on ICCs/IPs (NCIP) is the primary government agency

responsible for the formulation and implementation of policies, plans and
programs to promote and protect the rights and well-being of the ICCs/IPs and the
recognition of their ancestral domains as well as the rights thereto.
|
Physical Resources
Through the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights Act (IPRA), Certificate of

Ancestral Domain Titles (CADTs) are issued to formally recognize
the rights of possession and ownership of Indigenous Cultural
Communities/Indigenous Peoples (ICCs/IPs) over their ancestral
domains as identified and delineated in accordance with this law,
while Certificate of Ancestral Land Titles (CALTs) formally
recognize the rights of ICCs/IPs over their ancestral lands.
The land applied for CADTs in Rizal at the National Commission for Indigenous
Peoples (NCIP) totaled to 54,584.74 hectares from Antipolo City, Rodriguez
(Montalban) and Tanay.
The approved certificates of ancestral domain title (CADT) in Rizal are 19,523
hectares in Rodriguez and 24,667 hectares in Tanay.1
In 2020, Indigenous People in Antipolo has a population of 1,455 or 609 families;

Tanay has 5,927 or 1,374 families while Rodriguez has 3,146 or 751 families.
Majority of the indigenous people in Rizal are Dumagats and Remontados. They
are dependent in the forest for their survival. The main source of livelihood are
vegetable farming and selling of forest products.
To protect and promote the rights of the IPs in Rizal, the Ancestral Domain
Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) of Dumagat-Remontado
tribe in Tanay and Rodriguez have been formulated based in accordance with the
IPRA law and shall be properly implemented. This shall serve as the principal tool
and guide in furthering the IPs’ right to self-development, self-reliance, economic
empowerment and the right to preserve distinct culture and traditions. The NCIP
Administrative Order No. 03, s. 2018 or the “Revised National Guidelines for the
Mandatory Repesentation of Indigenous Peoples in Local Legislative Councils and
Policy Making Bodies” was issued to ensure that the ICCs/IPs shall be given
mandatory representation in other local legislative councils and policy-making bodies.
The IP Mandatory Representative (IPMR) is now a regular member of the
Sangguniang Panlalawigan which represents the general concerns and welfare of all
the IPs in Rizal.

crops, pasture & agro-forestry; forest development; and protection forest.
In terms of suitability, the coastal areas from Morong to Jalajala have areas that
are suitable for rice production. The town of Pililla holds the biggest agricultural
land area suitable for rice production, fruit crops, root crops and vegetables
followed by Tanay and San Mateo.
The highest hectarage of irrigated and rain fed palay areas in 2020 are in Pililla,
Antipolo and Jalajala while High Value Perennial Fruit Crops, like mango,
pineapple and other fruits are planted mostly in Antipolo, Rodriguez, Baras, Pililla
and San Mateo, while the highest production is in the municipality of Pililla,
followed by Teresa and the City of Antipolo.
Provincial crop production at the local level is more profound in the municipalities
of Taytay and Rodriguez and in some areas of Antipolo City.
Root crops are predominant in Rodriguez and San Mateo while vegetables are
planted mostly in the municipalities of Taytay, Tanay, Baras, Binangonan, Antipolo
City, Pililla, Cardona, Rodriguez and Morong.
Lots of potentially viable areas for forestry plantations are particularly situated in
Marikina and Kaliwa watersheds. Other areas that are suitable for forest
production can be found in Rodriguez, Antipolo and Tanay.

3.2.3.1.1 Initial Component of NIPAS (R.A. No. 7586, NIPAS Act of 1992)
3.2.3.1.1.1 Kaliwa Watershed
The Kaliwa Watershed has a total area of 35,150 has. The northeastern side of
the watershed is located in the Province of Quezon covering 11,000 hectares
while the southwestern side is situated in the Province of Rizal covering 25,036
hectares.
In June 26, 1969 Kaliwa Watershed was classified as forest reserve under
Proclamation No. 573. In April 18, 1977 it was declared as part of the National
Park and Wildlife Sanctuary or Game Refuge including some areas of Bulacan,
Rizal, Quezon and Laguna under Proclamation 1636. The Kaliwa Watershed is
located in the municipalities of Tanay and General Nakar, Quezon both of Region
IV-A CALABARZON. It is part of the Sierra Madre Mountain Range that stretches
from Northeastern to South-Eastern Luzon.
The Kaliwa Watershed is home to various threatened wildlife such as the

endangered Northern Philippine Hawk-eagle (Nisaetus philippensis), the
Philippine Brown Deer (Rusa Marianna), the Philippine Warty Pig (Sus
philippensis), the vulnerable Northern Rufous Hornbil (Buceros hydrocorax), the
critically endengared Philippine Eagle (Pithecophaga jefferyi), and restricted-range
birds of the Luzon Endemic Bird Area, all of which are found nowhere else in the
planet.
Notable species are the endangered and rare Rafflesia manillana and Jade vine
(Strongylodon macrobotrys), and other critically endangered tree species like Red
Lauan (Shorea negrosensis), White Lauan (Shorea contorta), Mayapis (Shorea
palosapis), Bagtikan (Parashorea malaanonan), Tiaong (Shorea ovata) and
Dungon (Heritiera sylvatica).
The most common land uses of the watershed are shifting cultivation, grazing and
upland agriculture. Kaingin areas are included under grasslands owned by
Dumagats and settlers residing inside the watershed.
Upland farmers are among the poorest sector of our province. Poverty and the
burgeoning upland population lead to loss in forest cover and environmental
degradation.
3.2.3.1.2 Expanded National Integrated Protected Areas (NIPAS) Categories

(R.A. No. 11038)
As per Republic Act 11038, also known as the Expanded National Integrated

this category namely: Hinulugang Taktak Protected Landscape, Pamitinan
Protected Landscape and Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape. , in
addition to the already declared protected areas through acts of Congress, are
parcels of land and/or bodies of water are also established as protected areas
within the classification of national park pursuant to the Philippine Constitution
(R.A. 11038 DAO 2019-05).
3.2.3.1.2.1 Hinulugang Taktak Protected Landscape
The landscape has an area of 3.52 hectares with a geographic coordinates of 14”
|
Physical Resources
35’ 43.99724” latitude and 121” 09’ 06.665” longitude located at Barangay
Milendres, Taytay, Rizal. It was previously declared as a recreation area through
Presidential Proclamation No. 330 dated 15 July 1952 and was later on declared
as a National Historical Shrine under Republic Act 6964 in 1990 and a National
Park by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). The area
is also a place where tourists, families and the general public can visit from time to
time because of its proximity to Metro Manila and its amenities designed to be
enjoyed by its visitors.
There are at least 11 species of trees including Senna spetabilis, Cananga

odorata, Swietenia macrophylla, Pterocarpus indicus, Chrysophyllum cainito,
Artocarpus heterophyllus, Persea Americana, Sandoricum koetjape, Mangifera
indica, Averrhoa bilimbi and Cocos nucifera. While there is no report of endemic or
endangered species present, animal species are Varanus salvator, Python
reticulatus and Draco volans.
3.2.3.1.2.2 Pamitinan Protected Landscape
The landscape has an area of 609.15 hectares with geographic coordinates of

14”43’ 53.36897 latitude and 121” 11’ 05.01154” longitude located at Barangay
San Rafael, Rodriguez, Rizal. In 1985, the area was declared as a National
Geological Monument and in 1996, it was formally declared as the Pamitinan
Protected landscape under Proclamation No. 901 during the time of President Fidel
V. Ramos managed by DENR and the Department of Tourism (DOT).
Cleaved between Mts. Pamitinan and Binicayan in the town of Montalban

(Rodriguez) is the Wawa Gorge. The 1,180-feet-high water gap is surrounded by
white rock walls (80-160 feet high), limestone crags and marble boulders. The two
mountains look like a portal to the sky that’s why it is called “wawa” which is a
Dumagat term for “entrance”. Along the landscape is Sitio Wawa, the habitat of the
Remontado Dumagat, mixed blood offspring of lowlanders who fled the Spanish
colonizers and of Negritos, the original settlers in the area.
Due to its beautiful sceneries, the landscape is also a tourist attraction to those
who loves mountain and rock wall climbing. Mt. Pamitinan is a 1,397-foot/426-
meter mountain peak and is said to be the 22nd highest in the province of Rizal.
For those who are not into mountain climbing, on the other hand, there are
designated places for picnic spots.
The protected landscape park has rich flora and fauna owing to its location in the
Sierra Madre range. It is a known bird watching site that offers sightings of the
endemic scale-feathered malkoha, grey-backed tailorbird, elegant tit, grey-rumped
swiftlet, white-browed shama, crested honey buzzard, Philippine bulbul, feral
pigeon, peregrine falcon and mangrove blue flycatcher.
The park’s vegetation resembles that of the adjacent Upper Marikina River Basin
Protected Landscape and comprises dipterocarp species characteristic of lowland
forests such as tanguile, mayapis, bagtikan, white lauan and red lauan.
3.2.3.1.2.3 Marikina Watershed Reservation/ Upper Marikina River Basin

Protected Landscape (UMRBPL)
The Marikina Watershed Reservation is currently known as Upper Marikina River

Basin Protected Landscape (UMRBPL). The Wawa Valley divides Marikina
|
Physical Resources
Watershed from north to south. Steep slopes characterize the northern part and
rugged terrain while the southern part is medium to high range sloping hills.
UMRBPL covers a total land area of 26,124 has. and encompasses the political
boundaries of the City of Antipolo and Municipalities of Baras, Rodriguez, San
Mateo and Tanay with a geographic coordinates of 14” 37’ 54.270” latitude and
121” 13’ 08.70” longitude located at Barangay Inarawan, Antipolo City, Rizal. The
UMRBPL straddles the headwaters of four major sub-river basins: the sub-river
basins of BosoBoso, Montalban, Tayabasan all flowing westward to Wawa Sub-
river Basin.UMRBPL was established as a Watershed reservation on 06 July 1904
and was later on declared as a Protected Landscape last 24 November 2011
during the time of President Benigno Aquino III
More than 90% (26,983.3 has.) of the total land area of UMRBPL is declared as
river basin reservation. The alienable and disposable land (A&D) accounts for only
2.5% (746.5 has.) of the total area while forest reserve covers 3.6% (1,061.2 has.).
About 2.4% (714.8 has.) are unclassified forest.
Included in the list of endangered wildlife species found in the watershed are forest
trees like narra, red and white lauan, kamagong and molave while the wild fauna
include birds like the Philippine bulbul, black-naped oriole and jungle fowl;
mammals like the Philippine deer, Philippine warty pig, the Philippine monkey and
Northern Luzon cloud rat; and reptile such as the monitor lizard.
3.2.3.1.2.3.1 Land Use and Land Cover Changes (2004-2012) in the

Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape
The major land use and land cover changes have occurred not only in the
protected areas but also the whole LGUs with jurisdiction over the Upper
Marikina Basin Protected Landscape. It exhibits significant increases from
double to more than seven times in the built-up areas and drastic decreases
in canopy forests from 70%-100%. The largest gains in built-up areas are in
Antipolo City and Rodriguez while the widest decline in open canopy forests
by land area was in Rodriguez.
Slash and burn farming system (kaingin) is the most prevalent agricultural
practice in the UMRBPL. It has limited areas suitable for large scale grain
production. The remaining forest resources are being exploited to meet the
needs of the increasing demands of the populace. For example, firewood
extraction and charcoal making are prevalent in rural barangays in UMRBPL.
They disposed their farm wastes by composting, burning and burying. An
emission from solid waste is potentially high because of the practice by which
solid waste is disposed.
All protected area(s) and watershed(s) proclamations such as Proclamation

No. 1636 s. 1977 and Proclamation 296, s. 2011, for example, declare certain
parcels of land and watersheds of the public domain situated in the Provinces
of Bulacan, Rizal, Laguna, and Quezon, as national park(s), wildlife sanctuary
(ies) and game preserve(s). Moreover, said parcel(s) of land have individual
plans as created and approved by their individual Protected Areas
Management Boards (PAMBs). This warrants inter-local cooperation with
adjacent provinces in the management and protection of such protected
areas. There is no existing Watershed Management Plan in the region and if
ever there will be study on the watershed management among provinces in
the CALABARZON, Rizal shall integrate whatever the results of the said plan
|
Physical Resources
in the future.
Some of the intervention strategies for the protected areas and watersheds to
manage and conserve them include information, education campaigns and
communication strategies to sensitize the stakeholders of their importance;
policy and institutional reforms; improving institutional and community
capacity through capability building activities; harmonization of tenurial
instruments and security of tenure; public-private-partnership (PPP); and
provision of alternative sources of income for the members of the community
within the protected and watershed areas.
Proposed projects can focus on community forest management projects,

integrated protection and rehabilitation projects, livelihood generation
projects, forest production and development project, watershed management
planning, policy and institutional reforms study, harmonization of tenurial
instruments study, watershed management capabillty enhancements
projects, and climate resilience and green growth projects.
With the passage into law of Republic Act 9729 or the Climate Change Act of
2009, local government units (LGUs) were tasked to serve as frontline
agencies in the formulation, planning, and implementation of climate change
action plans in their respective areas. Cognizant of the fact that climate
change is a multisectoral concern, the involvement of all levels of government
in the urban resilience planning process is crucial in order to attain higher
probability of desired outcomes.
In relation with R.A. 9729, Executive Order No.09, “Organizing the Rizal
Provincial Climate Action Plan (RPCCAP) Core Team” was issued for the
formulation, planning and implementation of climate change action plans
consistent with the provisions of the Local Government Code, the
Framework, and the National Climate Change Action Plan. The Rizal
Provincial Climate Action Plan (RPCCAP) which outlines the specific
programs and strategies on food security, water sufficiency, ecological and
environmental stability, human security, climate-smart industries and
services, sustainable energy, and knowledge and capacity development, was
formulated and adopted through Resolution No.058, s. 2016.
3.2.3.1.2.3.2 Climate Change Scenarios (2020-2050)
Table below shows the climate projections under the mid-range scenario
because the future climates in the next 30-40 years will be greatly influenced
by past emissions, principally due to the long lifetimes of carbon dioxide
(CO2).
 All areas of the UMRBPL will get warmer, more so in the relatively
warmer summer months.
 Annual mean temperatures (average of maximum and minimum
temperatures) in all areas in the UMRBPL expected to rise by 1.9 oC in
2050
 In terms of seasonal rainfall change, generally there is a substantial
spatial difference in the projected changes in rainfall in 2050 in the
UMRBPL, with reduction in rainfall during summer season (MAM) making
the usually dry season drier, while rainfall increases are likely during the
southwest monsoon (JJA) and the SON seasons, making these seasons
still wetter, and thus with likelihood of both droughts and floods in areas
|
Physical Resources
where these are projected;

 The northeast monsoon (DJF) season rainfall is projected to increase;
 During the southwest monsoon season (JJA), a larger increase in rainfall
is expected, thus the repeat of Typhoon Ondoy in the future is a reality.

The projections clearly indicate the likely increase in the performance of the
southwest and the northeast monsoons in the UMRBPL exposed to these
climate controls when they prevail over the area. Moreover, the usually wet
seasons become wetter with the usually dry seasons becoming drier. These
could lead to more occurrences of floods and dry spells/droughts
respectively.
3.2.3.1.2.3.3 Climate-Induced Threats in UMRBPL
The greatest climate-induced threat to UMRBPL area will come from

landslides according to the results of the integrated geospatial analysis made
by the ADB –UMRBPL Ecotown Project. Approximately 73% (19,088.03
has.) of the UMRBPL is susceptible to landslide.
The second largest climate-induced threat is erosion and drought. A total of

5,050 has. or 19.33% are threatened. Almost three-fourths (3/4) of these are
seen in Rodriguez covering 3,728 has.
At the municipality and barangay levels, the greatest threat to landslides

among the UMRBPL communities is in Brgy. Calawis in Antipolo City with
5,768.74 has. or 30% of the total 19,000 has. of threatened areas in the
whole UMRBPL. In the case of erosion and drought, Barangays Mascap and
San Rafael in Rodriguez has more than 60% of all threatened areas in
UMRBPL.
The projections clearly indicate the likely increase in the performance of the
southwest and the northeast monsoons in the UMRBPL exposed to these climate
controls when they prevail over the area. Moreover, the usually wet seasons
become wetter with the usually dry seasons becoming drier. These could lead to
more occurrences of floods and dry spells/droughts respectively.
3.2.3.2 Non-National Integrated Protected Areas (NIPAS) Categories
There are several places in the province that require rehabilitation, conservation,
sustained development and management such as protection forest outside NIPAS
areas and in the second growth forest, buffer strips, freshwater swamps and
marshes. Most non-NIPAS in the province are public lands. These are located in
the municipalities of Rodriguez, San Mateo, Antipolo, Binangonan, Cardona,
|
Physical Resources
Baras, Tanay, Pililla and Jalajala.
3.2.3.2.1 Second Growth Forest
Categories under the residual forest are those with slope of more than 50 degrees
and an elevation of 1,000 meters above. These areas are found in Antipolo,
Rodriguez, Pililla and Tanay.
3.2.3.2.2 Buffer Strips along River and Protection Areas
These refer to strips of land with natural or established vegetation, which provides
an added layer of protection to the forest where restricted use is allowed for local
production of various benefits to rural communities. Government policies specify
that buffer zone shall be established in 20-meter strips of land along the edge of
normal high waterline of rivers and streams with channel of at least five meters
wide.
3.2.3.2.3 Environmentally–Constrained Areas
Environmentally constrained areas are areas, which are subject to natural

hazards, fault lines, coastal zone and Network of Protected Agricultural Areas, or
Network of Areas for Agricultural Development (NPAA/NAAD).
3.2.3.2.3.1 Erosion Areas
Rizal’s topography is characterized by a combination of valleys and

mountains mostly the rolling to hilly portions is found in the slope category
18 to 30 percent and these occur in the western portion of Antipolo, in
parts of Angono, Teresa, Baras, Cardona and the western half of Tanay.
The mountainous and very steep portions are accounted for by the 30 to
50 percent and over 50 percent slope categories and these can be found
in most of Rodriguez, in the eastern section of Antipolo and in the eastern
portion of Tanay.
A significant portion of the provincial area suffers from severe erosion. The
causes of landslides are usually related to instabilities in slopes considered
to be a factor in the vulnerabilities of slope to failure.
3.2.3.2.3.2 Active Fault Line
Marikina Valley Fault System (MVFS) is composed of two major northeast

trending faults. The east Marikina Valley Fault and the west Marikina Fault,
traverse the Marikina Valley and the adjoining municipalities of Rodriguez,
San Mateo, and Antipolo 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 still likely to occur. Movement along the fault line causes
earthquake with accompanying destruction of property and even loss of
live. An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by
the sudden movement of rock materials below the earth’s surface
(L.Bautista, 2008).
Earthquakes are caused either by the sudden movement along faults and
|
Physical Resources
trenches (tectonic), or by the movement of magma beneath the volcanoes.
A research conducted at PHIVOLCS revealed that there are two (2)

inactive volcanoes in Rizal Province which refers to Talim Island (part of
Laguna Caldera) and Sembrano (Jala-jala). Talim is located at Latitude
14.3500 and Longitude 121.2500. Nearby towns affected are the
barangays of Talim, Tabon, Malakaban, Kinagatan, Bongbong,
Kinaboogan and Janosa all in Binangonan area of Talim Island and
barangays of Bayansubay, Malanggam, Ganutan, Boor, Lambac, Balibago
and Tuna which is located in Cardona area of Talim Island. Sembrano is
located at Latitude of 14.400 and Longitude of 121.3667. Affected areas
are Barangays of Bayugo, Llanos, Punta, Naglabas, Bagombong,
Matiquio, Banilan, Mabitac, Quisao and San Diego all in Laguna area.
There is no historical occurrence of ground shaking, liquefaction and
earthquake.
3.2.3.2.3.3 Pollution-Threatened Areas
Pollution in Laguna Lake includes water and thermal erosion. The

province is a host to several potentially pollutive industrial firms. Aside
from those located near the lakes, there are industries whose discharges
go into rivers, which empty into the lake basin.
Contributing also a significant amount of pollution to the lake are urban

wastes from the squatter and non-squatter residents of coastal towns.
Agricultural practices like fertilizer and pesticide application further
constitute potent sources of pollution.
Today, the lake is but a shadow of its former pristine quality and charm.
As a result of the dumping of industrial, domestic and agricultural wastes,
the lake’s water has turned turbid, brown, dirty and smelly. The input of
nutrient from surrounding sources has made the lake highly eutrophic. It is
not surprising to hear fish kills, fish diseases, slow fish growth and
decreasing harvest and productivity.
Thermal pollution is another problem in the lake in the sense that

increased temperatures can affect the lakes biotic-abiotic relationships.
This kind of pollution would be traceable to industries around the lake
basin. Industries that have cooling systems use water as a cooling agent,
which is ultimately, discharged as heated water into the lake. Heated
water directly kills lake organisms or abets the natural growth of certain
organisms that disturbs the balance of the lake ecosystems.
Rivers are also polluted by mining activities such as the extraction of sand
and gravel and limestone and the industrial and livestock activities that
proliferate all over the province
For areas planted to palay for regular cropping, palay no longer grows
naturally thereby resulting to low production.
3.2.3.3 Network of Protected Areas for Agriculture (NPAA) Highly Restricted

Agricultural Land
Another category of protected land includes certain types of agricultural lands
|
Physical Resources
covering the network of protected agricultural land areas (NPAA/NAAD), and

some agricultural lands are protected against any form of irreversible conversion
such as urban uses. The principal purpose of such protection is to keep and
preserve the highly-suitable agricultural lands for the long-term food source and
security of the country.
Irrigated and non-irrigated areas planted to palay in the Municipalities of Morong,

Rodriguez, Tanay, Pililla, Jalajala and Antipolo are considered highly-restricted
from conversion considering these lands are the traditional sources of main food
and cash crops.
Moderately restricted from conversion are lands, which are potential for
agricultural development, or agro-industrial lands. Most of these are found in San
Mateo, Antipolo, Binangonan and Teresa.
Under the conditionally restricted from conversion are cover land which are
marginal to agricultural use therefore suited to agro-industry projects. The
conversion of these lands to non-agricultural use ensures the stability of upland
and adjacent lowland.

3.2.4 Areas Prone to Natural Hazards: Hazard Profile
Taal Volcano
From the start of the year 2020, the Philippines has been tried by various types of
natural disasters. The first one of which is the Taal Volcano eruption in Batangas
on January 12, 2020 that lasted for approximately 2 weeks. The “steam-driven” or
phreatic eruption of the volcano spewed ashes across CALABARZON, Metro
Manila, and some parts of Central Luzon and Ilocos Region. Phreatic eruptions
are volcanic eruptions which happen when water beneath the ground or on the
surface gets in contact with hot magma. The province of Rizal, which is in the
same region as Batangas, was also greatly affected by the ashfalls from the
volcano’s eruption. Since early 1991, Taal volcano has been restless, with
swarms of earthquakes, new steaming areas, ground fracturing, and increases in
water temperature of the lake. In addition, the volcano also is one of 15 “Decade
Volanoes” that have been identified by the volcanology community as presenting
large potential hazards to population centers (CALABARZON RPFP, 2017-2046).
As of July 2021, Taal volcano has been continuously emitting series of

phreatomagnetic bursts/eruption with sulfur dioxide. A phreatomagnetic eruption
is an eruption involving the interaction of magma and water and sulfur dioxide is
being emitted by volcanoes when magma is relatively close to the surface. The
possibility of pyroclastic density currents (clouds of hot gas, ash and other
volcanic debris) gets higher by every moment. People are advised in neighboring
areas and provinces to be vigilant and prepared for possible eruption and health
risks of the ashes the volcano can emit.
Super Typhoon Rolly
Typhoon Rolly’s landfall on October to November 2020 brought torrential rains,

violent winds, mudslides and storm surges in Luzon. It left extensive destruction
and damage in its path. It became at par (or greater) with its predecessor,
Typhoon Ondoy last September 26, 2009 in bringing massive destruction, heavy
rains and flooding in the country.
In the province of Rizal alone, 95 barangays, 2,892 families and 12,517 persons
were affected by the super typhoon (NDRRMC, Sitrep No. 12, 11 November
2020) and has put the province in Tropical Cyclone Warning Signal (TCWS) No.
3. An estimated Php20 billion or $369M is the worth of its damages for the
Philippines. According to UN-Philippines, there are 845,000 people who are in
need of assistance while there are 250,000 people targeted for assistance. As for
the CALABARZON Region, a total of 6,835.33 hectares of rice, corn, cassava,
and HVCDP are damaged with a total of Php616,489,119.00 costs of damages,
including that of irrigation. The total damaged area for the province of Rizal, on
the other hand, was 124.78 hectares with a total damage cost of Php
9,926,319.78 (OCD IV-A, Sitrep No. 12 for TS Rolly).
Typhoon Ulysses
Just days after the onslaught of Super Typhoon Rolly, Typhoon Ulysses
internationally known as Typhoon Vamco hit the Luzon archipelago, including the
province of Rizal, last November 11 to 12, 2020.
Typhoons Ulysses caused many areas in the province to be submerged in

floodwaters. The worst hit areas were the municipalities of Rodriguez, San
|
Physical Resources
Mateo, Cainta, Taytay, Angono and the lakeshore areas in Binangonan. There
were reported landslides in the municipalities of Cardona, Morong and Tanay as
well. The swelling of Laguna de Bay caused heavy flooding and the over
saturation of Sierra Madre led to more subsurface run-off along the headwater of
Wawa Dam reaching low-lying areas. Some areas such as Barangay
Sto.Domingo in the municipality of Cainta needed to evacuate its residents due to
the four-meter-deep flood. In the municipality of Rodriguez, some barangays are
deeply submerged in flood waters that only roof of one-story houses were visible
and stranded residents had to be rescued from the top of the roofs
(region4a.mgb.gov.ph, 18 November 2020). The LGUs of San Mateo and
Rodriguez have declared their municipalities under State of Calamity due to the
typhoon. The casualties under the municipalities of Rizal are fifteen (15) persons
with about Php9.7 million worth of damages (PDRRMO Sitrep No. 27 for Typhoon
Ulysses).

and is said to be an occurrence of dire potent and a preview of more destructive

typhoons to come. Typhoons Rolly and Ulysses are, according to the old timers,
are one for the books in the history of Rizal province. However, we also cannot
ignore the destruction brought about by TS Ulysses and the lives it have taken. It
has an estimated Php20.3 billion or $421M worth of damages. There are about
60,000 people in need of assistance and 18,100 people targeted for assistance
(United Nations Organization-Philippines, UN-Philippines).
3.2.4.1 Hydrometeorologic Hazards
3.2.4.1.1 Flood
Flood is an overflowing of water to land that is normally dry. It is a temporary rise

of the water level, as in a river or lake or along a seacoast, resulting in its spilling
over and out of its natural or artificial confines onto land that is normally dry. It is a
form of natural disaster when there is more water than the lakes, rivers, oceans,
or ground can hold. Floods are usually caused by excessive runoff from
precipitation or snowmelt, or by coastal storm surges or other tidal phenomena.
Floods are sometimes described according to their statistical occurrence. A fifty-
year flood is a flood having a magnitude that is reached in a particular location on
average once every fifty years. In any given year there is a two percent statistical
chance of the occurrence of a fifty-year flood and a one percent chance of a
hundred-year flood.
Heavy rains from tropical storms and hurricanes can cause floods or flash floods.
These floods can develop within minutes or hours depending on the intensity and
duration of the rain, topography, soil condition, and ground cover of the area.
Flooding in the province is often caused by the overflowing of the waterways like
creeks and rivers which traversed the low lying municipalities of Cainta, Taytay
and Angono. Other municipalities like San Mateo and Rodriguez suffered from
flashfloods due to over flowing of Marikina River.
The susceptibility levels of the areas affected were based on the map indicating
areas prone to flooding at varying susceptibility levels, sourced from the Mines
and Geosciences Bureau, scale of 1:250,000 converted to vector format and
processed using ArcGIS 9.3 (Map 12a). The towns which have areas highly
susceptible to the flood hazard are Angono, Antipolo City, Binangonan, Cainta,
Jalajala, Pililla, Rodriguez, San Mateo and Taytay. Moderately susceptible are
portions of Cainta, Rodriguez, Jalajala, Pililla and Taytay. No town has low
susceptibility to the hazard.
The total land area figure used in this document is based in the GIS generated
map using the barangay level (based on PSA data) which totaled 1,263.51 sq.km.
It should be noted that the total land area of the province is 1,182.65 sq.km. For
this purpose, the GIS generated data will be used as the basis.
In terms of land area, 112.52 sq.km or 8.9% of the province is susceptible to

flooding. Of these, 84.44% or 95.01 sq.km are highly susceptible and 15.56% or
17.51 sq.km are moderately susceptible. Taytay, Tanay, Rodriguez, San Mateo
and Morong, have the highest affected areas. Only the town of Teresa is not
susceptible to the flooding hazard. (Map 12a and Table 42)
From the TS Ondoy experience, it was reported that 70% of the province was
affected by flooding. The abnormally huge amount of rainfall brought by the
typhoon was the cause of widespread flooding.
|
Physical Resources
The basin like topography as well as being along Laguna Lake and the presence
of flood plain areas are some of the factors that contribute to flooding in the
province.

3.2.4.1.2 Rainfall Induced Landslide
A landslide or landslip is a geological phenomenon which includes a wide range of

ground movement, such as rockfalls, deep failure of slopes and shallow debris
flows, which can occur in offshore, coastal and onshore environments. The
causes of landslides are usually related to instabilities in slopes. Causes may be
considered to be factors that made the slope vulnerable to failure, that predispose
the slope to becoming unstable. In the majority of cases the main trigger of
landslides is heavy or prolonged rainfall. Generally this takes the form of either an
exceptional short lived event, such as the passage of a tropical cyclone or even
the rainfall associated with a particularly intense thunderstorm or of a long
duration rainfall event with lower intensity.
Based on the map indicating areas prone to rainfall induced landslide at varying
susceptibility levels, sourced from the Mines and Geosciences Bureau, scale of
1:250,000, converted to vector format and processed using ArcGIS 9.3 (Map 12b),
all the towns in the province except Cainta and Morong have highly susceptible
areas to rainfall induced landslide. All the towns except Cainta have moderately
susceptible areas. All the towns have low susceptibility areas.
The province is prone to rainfall induced landside with 1,471.78 sq.km or 97.89
percent of its total land area susceptible in varying degrees. Of this figure, 771.82
sq.km or 52.44 percent are highly susceptible, 349.81 sq.km or 23.76 percent for
moderate susceptibility and 350.15 sq.km or 23.79 percent for low susceptibility
(Table 43).
Eighty eight percent of the total land area of Rodriguez has high susceptibility to
rainfall induced landslide. Other towns with significant highly susceptible areas are
Antipolo with 46% and Tanay, with 33.6%. This may be attributed to the high
elevation of these areas.

3.2.4.2 Geologic Hazards
Geologic Hazards results from geologic processes acting on or beneath the

earth’s surface. These include movement of plates in the earth’s crust or from
local concentrations of heat and are a source of hazards to people and their
natural and built-up environment on the earth’s surface (Kramer, 1996). Geologic
hazards which will be covered are those caused by earthquakes (ground shaking,
liquefaction and earthquake induced landslides) and those caused by volcanic
eruptions.
3.2.4.2.1 Earthquake
An earthquake is a weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden

movement of rock materials below the earth’s surface (L. Bautista, 2008).
Earthquakes are caused either by the sudden movement along faults and
trenches (tectonic), or by the movement of magma beneath the volcanoes
(volcanic).In the province, there is the West Valley Fault System (WVFS)
composed of two major northeast trending faults (Maps 12c and 12d). The
East Valley Fault and the West Valley Fault, traverse the Marikina Valley and
the adjoining municipalities of Rodriguez, San Mateo, and Antipolo 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
still likely to occur. Movement along the fault line causes earthquake with
accompanying destruction of property and even loss of lives. An earthquake is a
weak to violent shaking of the ground produced by the sudden movement of rock
materials below the earth’s surface (L.Bautista, 2008).
A research conducted at PHIVOLCS revealed that there are two (2) inactive
volcanoes in Rizal Province which refers to Talim Island (part of Laguna
Caldera) and Sembrano (Jala-jala). Talim is located at Latitude 14.3500 and
Longitude 121.2500. Nearby towns affected are the barangays of Talim, Tabon,
Malakaban, Kinagatan, Bongbong, Kinaboogan and Janosa all in Binangonan
area of Talim Island and barangays of Bayansubay, Malanggam, Ganutan, Boor,
Lambac, Balibago and Tuna which is located in Cardona area of Talim Island.
Sembrano is located at Latitude of 14.400 and Longitude of 121.3667.
Affected areas are Barangays of Bayugo, Llanos, Punta, Naglabas,
Bagombong, Matiquio, Banilan, Mabitac, Quisao and San Diego all in
Laguna area. There is no historical occurrence of ground shaking, liquefaction
and earthquake
On July 16, 1990 Magnitude 7.8 earthquake struck Luzon area which caused
different patterns of damage in different parts of the island. The mountain resort of
Baguio and Central Luzon were most severely affected, probably because it had
the highest population density and many tall concrete buildings, which were more
susceptible to seismic damage. Because all routes of communication, roads, and
airport access were severed for several days, relief efforts were also the most
difficult. Relief efforts were further hampered by daily drenching of cold rains.
Rescue teams arriving from Manila and elsewhere in Luzon were able to decrease
mortality from major injuries. Surgeons, anesthesiologists, and specialized
equipment and supplies were brought to the area, and victims were promptly
treated. Patients requiring specialized care (e.g., hemodialysis) not available in
the disaster area were airlifted to tertiary hospitals in Metropolitan Manila.
Damage was caused by landslides in the mountains and settling in coastal areas.

Physical Resources
Relief efforts in these areas were prompt and successful, partly because the areas
remained accessible.
The Provincial Government of Rizal conducted earthquake modeling using the

Rapid Earthquake Disaster Assessment System (REDAS) software of the
Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS), raster maps
generated in REDAS further processed using ARCGIS 9.3. Five earthquake
scenarios were identified that generated ground shaking, liquefaction and
earthquake induced landslide.
The scenario is the West Valley Fault with simulation parameters of 121.11450
longitude 14.70 0 latitude epicenter, magnitude of 6.8, depth of 2 kilometers, fault
azimuth 1 of 23.5524, fault azimuth 2 of 205.346 using the past earthquake event
along the fault last August 19,1658.
3.2.4.2.2 Ground Shaking
Ground shaking is a hazard created by seismic earth movements. During an

earthquake, seismic waves travel rapidly away from the source and through the
earth’s crust. Upon reaching the ground surface, they produce shaking that may
last from seconds to minutes.
Based on the map simulated from REDAS indicating areas prone to ground
shaking at varying susceptibility levels, almost all of the total land area of the
province are highly susceptible to PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale (PIES)
Intensity VIII (Map 12f and Table 44). For Intensity VII, almost all of Canto and
more than ¾ of Tatary are vulnerable along with small patches or portion of
Morong, Tanay and Jalajala. The towns of Angono, Antipolo, Binangonan, Cainta,
Rodriguez, San Mateo and Teresa are also prone to this groundshaking level. If
and when earthquakes of these magnitudes struck the province, the provincial
economy will be greatly affected.
In terms of land area, 1,232.5 sq.km or 97.5% of the province is prone to ground
shaking with varying susceptibilities. Of this figure, 87.91 percent or 1,041.9
sq.km are susceptible to PEIS Intensity VIII and 190.58 sq.km or 15.46% for PEIS
Intensity VII.
The western part of Rodriguez, San Mateo, Cainta, Taytay and Antipolo City are
susceptible to PEIS Intensity VIII. All the towns are susceptible to PEIS Intensity
VII. The towns of Rodriguez, Antipolo, Tanay, Pililla, Jalajala, Binangonan and
Cardona are susceptible to PEIS Intensity VI.The province is not susceptible to
PEIS Intensity Lower than VI.

3.2.4.2.3 Earthquake Induced Landslide
The severe shaking in an earthquake can cause natural slopes to weaken and fail,
resulting in landslides. Depending on the degree of ground shaking, level of
susceptibility and soundness and structures, landslides can cause damage to
infrastructure, such as cracking, toppling and even collapse; burying of
settlements; or flooding in downstream areas due to deposition (Kramer, 1996).
Occurrence of landslides during an earthquake is determined largely by local

conditions. Many factors, including geologic and hydrologic conditions,
topography, climate, weathering and land use, influence the stability of slopes and
the characteristics of landslide. In general, landslides are likely to happen when
the following conditions are present: thick soils, weathered rocks in the slopes,
weak soils, steep slopes, highly saturated soils and strong earthquakes (Bautista,
2008).
From the five scenarios simulated from REDAS for earthquake induced landslide,
90% of the province has varying degrees of susceptibility. All the towns in the
province have highly susceptible areas. Except for Cainta and Taytay, all the rest
have moderately susceptible areas. For low susceptibility, the list includes portions
of Antipolo, Jalajala, Rodriguez, Tanay and Teresa.
Area wise, 1,146.29 sq.km or 90.5% are susceptible to earthquake induced

landslide in the province. From this, 958.96 sq.km or 83.6% is highly susceptible,
143.7sq.km or 12.57% for moderate susceptibility and 43.63 sq.km or 3.8% for
low susceptibility. (Table 45)
The towns of Rodriguez, Antipolo, Tanay and Pililla have low exceedance to
earthquake induced landslide. The towns of Rodriguez, Antipolo and Tanay have
moderate exceedance. For high exceedance, the list include the whole of Cainta,
Taytay, Angono, Binangonan, Cardona, Morong, Baras, almost all of Teresa and
significant areas in Tanay, Pililla, Jalajala, Antipolo, Rodriguez and San Mateo.

3.2.4.3 Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a process where particles of loosely – consolidated and water

saturated deposits of sand are rearranged into a more compact state .This results
in the squeezing of water and sediments towards the surface in the form of “sand
fountain” and creating a condition resembling “quicksand”. In this phenomenon,
the strength of the soil is reduced to a point where it is unstable to support
structures (Kramer, 1996).
The whole towns of Cainta and San Mateo are highly susceptible to liquefaction
hazard. More than ¾ of the areas of Rodriguez and Taytay are also highly
susceptible. Likewise, significant areas in Antipolo, Pililla, Tanay and Teresa are
also highly susceptible. Patches of highly susceptible areas can also be observed
in Angono, Binangonan, Baras, Jalajala and Morong. Except, Cainta and San
Mateo, all the other towns have moderate susceptibility as well as low susceptible
areas. There are also no exceedance areas in all of the towns except San Mateo
and Cainta.
Area wise, there are 1,136.68 sq.km or 89.72% prone to liquefaction. Of these
areas, 490.57 sq.km or 43.27% are highly susceptible, 409.2 sq.km or 36.01%
moderately susceptible and 236.91 sq.km or 20.67% for low susceptibility. (Table
46).
Some portions of all the towns in the province have low exceedance for
liquefaction. For moderate exceedance, these include Rodriguez, San Mateo,
Antipolo, Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Teresa, Binangonan, Morong, Cardona and
Baras. For high exceedance, the list includes Rodriguez, San Mateo, Cainta,
Taytay, Angono and Morong.
