This proposed Comprehensive Land Use Plan covers the period 2014-2023. Being a
municipality straddled by several watersheds, a large portion of the town, in particular its
upland areas, has been classified for protection and conservation purposes. These watershed
areas include portions of the Upper Marikina River Basin Protected Landscape and
Kaliwa Forest Reserve, as well as the locally declared Masungi Rock Protecd Area. Also, being
richly endowed with natural attractions and locations with breathtaking scenery, Tanay has set
its vision to be a tourism mecca in the region. Consistent with this vision, large specific areas of
the town have been declared as Parks, Recreation and Tourism Zone. But still, the general
character of Tanay remains to be largely agricultural, and this is in consonance with the Rizal
Provincial Physical Framework Plan.
By the end of the planning period, Tanay’s population, growing at the average 2.64% per
annum, is expected to reach 146,703. As such, expansion areas for housing purposes have been
identified, particularly at Brgys. Plaza Aldea and Tandang Kutyo. New roads are also being
proposed to be developed for greater mobility. Finally, risks associated with natural and
manmade hazards were also identified and addressed accordingly in the plan.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
o Pre-Spanish Occupation
Like most of the inhabitants of the Philippines, the first settlers of Tanay came from the
South Sea, particularly the Malay and Indonesian race. The original Tanay settlers stayed in
Daraetan for a long time due to abundance of wild life deer, baboy damo, musang, alamid and
monkeys.
o Spanish Occupation
Monte Tan-ay, now known as INALSAN, was the first known settlement when the Spaniards
arrived in 1571. The inhabitants fiercely resisted Christianization by the Spaniards. Beginning
from 1573, Monte Tan-Ay formed part of and was under the jurisdiction of Pililla.
Some twenty (20) years later, San Antonio (Pantay) was also destroyed like the old town,
Inalsan. People were forced to transfer to another place, the present site of the municipality.
The town at its current location was founded in 1640.

o Philippine Revolution
Tanay figured significantly during the revolution against the Spain. During this period, the town
was the second zone of the military arm of the Philippine Revolutionary Government under
General Emilio Aguinaldo. A “primera compana” composed of Tanayans was organized to
augment the government forces under General Aguinaldo.
A year after the fall of Tanay, the provinces of Morong and Manila were merged into one and
named “Lalawigan ng Rizal” (Province of Rizal). Baras was still part of Tanay in 1906. However,
it became independent and was declared as a separate town in 1920.
Philippine Independence from American colonization was declared in July 4, 1946. Back then the
Province of Rizal had twenty six (26) towns including Tanay.
o Tanay At Present
Today, Tanay is one of the thirteen (13) towns and one (1) component city that comprise the
Province of Rizal. It is located in the eastern part of the province. It is becoming an extension of
Manila’s urbanization along with the city of Antipolo, towns of Cainta, Angono, Taytay and
Binangonan. It is about 54 kilometers away southeast of Manila and has a land area of 33,466 hectares.

Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
Declared as a first class municipality since 1996, it has a total population of 98,879 inhabitants
based on the 2010 National Statistics Office Census of Population. Tanay has nineteen (19)
barangays, nine (9) in the town proper and ten (10) in the upland area. At present,
a 20th barangay is being considered for creation by the Sangguniang Panlalawigan of Rizal. This
proposed barangay, to be named “Madilaydilay,” is located at the town’s boundary with
Sta. Maria, Laguna.

Age-Sex Distribution
o There was not much variation on the distribution by sex with the males and females in
2010. Male (HH) population was posted at 50.56 %, while female (HH) kept pace at
49.44%.
o Sex ratio is 1.02: 1, which revealed an equivalent of 1.02 male for every female.
o The young dependents, ages under 1 to 14 got a 37.41 % of the population; old
dependents, from 65 to over 80 years old, has a 3.17 % and working age group, 15 to 64
years old, with a 59.42 %.
o The greatest fraction of the population is on the categories of young dependents and
working age group, with a lesser proportion in the old age category
o Working Age Group is about 58,254 of the total household population; 50.47% are male
and 49.53% are female
o Given such statistics, investment on education and health sectors, employment and
housing opportunities is highly inevitable to respond on the requirements of the larger
percentage of the population.
Population Density
o As of 2010, the most populated and the biggest barangay in Tanay is
Barangay Sampaloc. It has a land area of 8,899 hectares, resulting into an allocation of
only 2.64 or 3 persons per hectare, out of its estimated household population of 23,483.
It is located in the upland area and considered as the center of progress of other upland
barangays due to its close proximity to the town proper.
o Following Barangay Sampaloc on being the most populated are Barangays Tandang
Kutyo and Plaza Aldea. They both located in the town proper.
o The most congested is Barangay Wawa. It has a very limited land area of 87 hectares to
accommodate such huge household population of 6,700, thus posting a population
density of 77 persons per hectare.

46 Elementary Schools (32 public / 14 private), 19 schools for Secondary Education
(11 public / 8 private), Colleges / Universities / State University (3 private/ 1 public),
Vocational / Technical Schools (3 private)
o Existence of SPED Program for elementary and secondary levels are being offered in
Ilaya and Sampaloc Elementary Schools and Tanay National High School. These schools
cater to visually impaired children and likewise children with multiple disabilities.
However, it has been noticed that dwindling number of students participate on the said
curriculum.
o The Alternative Learning System (ALS) under the Department of Education for
elementary and secondary levels is also available in Simeon Bendaña Memorial
Elementary School, Sampaloc, Nayon and Daraetan Elementary & National High Schools.
Housing
o Administrative mechanism to address the multiple requirements of housing services is in
place. Mass housing projects and acquisition of new properties to be used as relocation
sites are actively being undertaken by the municipal government, as population (and
migrants) increases rapidly.
o In 2013, the town has an existing 10 relocation sites located in Barangays Plaza Aldea,
Tandang Kutyo and Sampaloc. They were funded either by the Tanay Municipality for IFS
and people who are living along the danger zones/areas of the community, other local
government which the IFS to be housed came from and NGOs / Foundation like the
Araneta Foundation and Gawad Kalinga. They are as follows:
Barangay Tandang Kutyo (6)
Tanayville (1995) and San Marcelino Village (2005) - all lots awarded
already for the Manila East Road IFS
Gabihan Relocation Site (2010) - houses the Typhoon Ondoy victims,
Gawad Kalinga (GK) and CSP beneficiaries

those who doesn’t have the capability to have their own. For this is only ideal for
salaried employees or families capable of availing housing loan packages.
Protective Services
o Tanay – Police Station supervises the maintenance of peace and order of the
community. The PNP-Tanay has a total workforce of 45 policemen as reported by the

2,377 residents of the town, based from the projected population of 2013.
o It is divided into 6 different sections, namely the personnel section, operation section,
intelligence group, investigation section, traffic patrol group (day and night shifts) and
the police community services.
o Police stations are situated in the municipal government office (poblacion) and also a
sub-station in Barangay Sampaloc to be able to extend protective assistance to people
from upland barangays.
o In spite of the obvious inadequacy in the number of policemen, efforts were obviously
being undertaken to ensure the peace and safety of the community. Police visibility is
satisfactory enough, thus discouraging lawless people to engage themselves into
criminal acts.
o Meanwhile, Tanay Fire Station is consists of 20 active personnel. It has 3 functional fire
trucks, 2 stationed at the municipal government office, while the other 1 is in Tanay Fire
Sub-Station, Tanay Public Market. Other logistics were also identified, though some of
them were found to be useful, there are few that were found to be ineffective already.
o The municipal government is currently using the services of employees under the Job
Order Basis, the recruits of Peace and Safety Action Force. The intention of such
employment was created by the municipal government, to complement with the duties
and responsibilities of the police force regarding provision of protective services for the
community. They may be utilized for additional job responsibilities, whenever the need
arises.

F. LAND RESOURCES
Land Classifications
Tanay has a total land area of 33,466 hectares. Its land resources are classified into two (2),
Alienable and Disposable Lands (A & D) and Forest Reserve (Kaliwa and Marikina Watersheds).
Alienable and Disposable Lands refer to lands of the public domain declared as not needed for
forest purposes, normally it refers to built-up and agricultural areas, while Kaliwa Watershed
Area/ Forest Land refers to proclaimed watershed areas under the Presidential Proclamation No.
573, issued 1n 1973. This protected area is on both sides of two (2) provinces, Rizal and Quezon.
It has a total land area of 27,608 hectares, with Tanay having 16,600 hectares based from the
information given by CENRO, Rizal Province. A small portion of upland Tanay falls within the
Marikina Watershed area.

G. MINERAL RESOURCES
Mineral resources found in Tanay are Limestones, Silica, Shale, Marble, Iron, Copper, Gold,
Manganese, Wash Sand, Crushed Gravel and Filing Materials.
H. FRESHWATER RESOURCES
Tanay has several bodies of water that could be tapped for certain purposes. Among these are:
Tanay River, the Lanatin River and its various tributaries, Lumutan River, Sampaloc River,
Rawang River, Daranak and Batlag Falls, Bukal Spring and Pupot River. The Tanay River is being
utilized as source of irrigation water for hundred of hectares of rice fields surrounding the
poblacion, while the Lanatin-Lumutan Rivers in the upland areas have long been eyed by the
national government as source of drinking water and electricity for Metro Manila thru the
construction of a 130-m high dam with hydro-power component.
Groundwater Resources
Tanay rates fair to excellent for groundwater development. It is interesting to note that areas
with alluvial deposits are excellent sources of groundwater. While those good to fair
groundwater supplies, either have the pyroclastic alluvial combinations or volcanic alluvial
combinations.

Natural Drainage
Drainage refers to the frequency and duration when soil is free of saturation. It is a
criteria requiring critical consideration in evaluating soil suitability classification for crop
production and other non-agricultural uses, since it invariably affects land utilization. The Tanay
sub - watershed and the poblacion portion of the municipality are principally drained by Tanay
River into the Laguna de Bay basin. In addition, there are a number of small intermittent
streams, which serve as irrigation channels during the summer months. A small portion of
Tanay, the mid-western section, is being drained by the Marikina River and the southeast part by
the Pililla River. In the upland territory of the town, particularly inside the Kaliwa Watershed, the
Lanatin River is the principal waterway. It is joined by the Lumutan River from General Nakar,
Quezon, at the junction of Daraitan and Laiban. The confluence of these two (2) huge rivers
form the Kaliwa River which drains towards the Quezon Province and ultimately to the Pacific
Ocean in the east. On the other hand, Barangay Sampaloc is drained by the Sampaloc River
which joins the Kaliwa River at Daraitan.`

I. CLIMATE
Based on the seasonal rainfall distribution, the climate of Tanay is classified as follows:
a. Type I has two (2) pronounced seasons. It is generally dry from November to April
and wet during the rest of the year.
b. Type III, has no pronounced seasons, but it is often drier from November to April.
Soil Erosion
Soil Erosion is the process by which soil particles are detached and primarily transported by
run-off water. It is an accelerated process that commences the moment man cultivates and
removes its protective covering.
The factors affecting the rate of erosion are slope, amount and intensity of rainfall, land use and
type soil. With the other factors remaining constant, long steep slopes accelerate erosion more
than gentle and short slopes. Heavy, prolonged and frequent rainfall, likewise promotes
accelerated erosion.
The different degrees of erosion in the municipality vary from none to slight, moderate and
average depending on the amount or extent of soil removed from the surface or substratum.
This erosion class is characterized by the removal of less than one fourth of the original surface
soil. This occurs on level to gently undulating areas where erosion takes place despite of the
favorable relief condition due to faulty farm management practices.
This class of erosion can be corrected by single erosion measures and good soil
management practices.
MODERATE EROSION
Erosion of this class is characterized by loss of 25% to 75% of the surface soil and normally at the
starting stages of gully formation. The productive portion of the soil at the erosion is already in
the advanced stage of depletion. It would require the application of the appropriate control
measures, either mechanically or vegetation or a combination of both to minimize further soil
losses.
19
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
SEVERE EROSION:
This pertains to areas where all of the surface soil and part of the subsoil have been eroded with
some gully formation. This kind of erosion is identified in rolling, hilly and mountainous or steep
areas, where shifting cultivation or remnants of overgrazed areas have existed.
Based on the Land Limitation Map, eroded areas comprise about 749 hectares, while erosion –
prone shallow soil areas consist of 1,855 hectares.
Flooding Hazard
Flooding hazard is one consideration in the suitability interpretation of the area for agriculture,
built-up and other functional uses. Flooding hazard has been categorized into slight-seasonal
run-off flooding and moderate to severe seasonal flooding.
This flooding hazard accumulates shallow run-off flood that subsides within a short period,
ranging from few hours to three days. This occurs in low to moderately low flood plains
positions. Floods are due to run-off accumulation coming from surrounding elevated areas, low
physiographic position, and poor infiltration / permeability characteristics and drainability outlet.
Such areas however, have been rated as fair for urban uses, as flood limitation could be
minimize by proper planning on draining unnecessary water.
It is characterized by more frequent and deeper run-off water, which may take a week, or a few
months to subside. Areas affected by this flooding hazard have been rated as very poor to
non-suitable for urban development. These areas normally situated in low or depressed sites,
which acts as the recurring catchments of water coming from higher areas. They are
characterized by having poor drainability outlets, slow to very poor infiltration and hydraulic
conductivity characteristics. Although, carefully designed facility / structures can be constructed
on reclaimed areas, it is believed that such may not be economically feasible to undertake. There
are portion of Barangays Kay Buto, San Isidro, Pinagkamaligan, Plaza Aldea, and the whole of
Wawa are affected by this type of flooding hazard.

The above table was based from the actual flooding occurrence, during the onslaught of
Typhoon Ondoy. No flooding pertains to areas with higher elevation specifically mountain
barangays. Slight seasonal run-off flooding happens to areas with lower elevation and usually
occurs during heavy rain, due to problem with the drainage system. Moderate to severe
seasonal flooding occurs in communities along river banks and coastal area, more so if level of
water in Laguna de Bay rises up due to typhoon and heavy rains.
Typhoon
The Philippines is located within the typhoon belt. The mean percentage of frequency of the
passage of typhoons over the area ranges from 11% - 20%. This means that out of 19 typhoons
that enter the Philippine area of responsibility annually, about 2 – 4 typhoons are expected to
pass over at Tanay. Generally, the typhoon season begins from June to November, although the
rest of the year is not entirely free of typhoons, as they arrive in the country anytime of the year.
The map below indicates the extent of actual flooding caused by Storm Ondoy in 2009.
Both sides of the Tanay River was inundated with floodwaters beginning at the Sitio Batak area
in Brgy. Tandang Kutyo, then to the Tanay poblacion and finally along the lakeshore area.
Floodwaters immediately receded at the poblacion / town center after the storm; however,
floodwaters remained for several months in barangays along the Laguna Lake, specifically
Barangays Wawa, San Isidro and Kay Buto. During the Habagat of 2012, the same lakeshore area
of Tanay was once again subjected to prolonged flooding, though none on the other areas of
the poblacion.

The whole of Tanay, with the exception of the poblacion and its surrounding rice lands, is a huge
watershed area: the Kaliwa Watershed at the northeastern portion, the Marikina Watershed at
the mid-western section and the Laguna Bay-Tanay Watershed at the mid-southern area of the
municipality. The presence of these watershed areas result in the occurrence of rain-induced
hazards- landslides and flooding.
22

1. HYDRO-METEOROLOGICAL HAZARDS
By topography, this area has generally a very steep slope. But patches of flat lands can be found
in areas along the banks of the Lanatin River, and these are the locations of the barangays
within it. The Lanatin River drains the watershed towards the Pacific Ocean in the east. The
Kaliwa Wateshed barangays of Tanay with the official 2010 population are as follows:
Majority of the local population are engaged in farming and in the harvest of minor forest
products. Among their produce are rice, corn, cash crops, vegetables, fruits and bamboo.
The steep slope of the general area and the presence of this major river system make the
barangays highly susceptible to two natural hazards: rain-induced landslides and flooding.
FLOODING
With most of the population of the above-listed barangays residing at the barangay proper, as
much as 80% of their respective population face the risk of being exposed to flooding during
heavy and prolonged downpours. With the Lanatin River swelling twice its normal size during
monsoon rains and heavy storms, water leaps off the riverbank and encroaches on the
residential and cultivated areas. Exempted are the houses located at the sitios, in the upper
portions of the watershed, relatively distant from the river.

LANDSLIDES
Surrounding all of the barangays are mountainous areas with slopes of as much as 45%. These
are extremely vulnerable to landslides as shown by maps provided by Phivolcs. Cracks along the
upper portions of the mountains, particularly at Cayabu and Sta. Ines have been observed to
develop. The possibility of these cracks resulting into an actual slip of the land during heavy
rains cannot be ignored.

Also, with the exception of Barangay Laiban, all of the Kaliwa Watershed barangays can be
reached thru a single artery: the Samlay Road. This is a 5- km. steep road originating from the
Marikina-Infanta Road at Sitio Batangas, Cuyambay, snaking thru the mountainsides until it
reaches the first watershed barangay of San Andres. Several times already, this road was cut
due to landslides during the rainy season. During these times, all of the said barangays become
inaccessible to both public and private vehicles. Travel therefore and the transport of goods and
farm inputs and products are affected.

While relatively much smaller in area compared to the Kaliwa Watershed, development within
the Tanay-Laguna Bay sub-watershed area has a huge impact to the municipality.

The Tanay River which drains this area of approximately 4,500 has. traverses thru the town
proper. Typical of most town propers throughout the country, the Tanay poblacion is the seat of
the local government and the location of the commercial center, other government offices,
institutions, schools and the general residential zone. Originating from Cuyambay in upland
Tanay, the Tanay River covers a distance of thirteen (13) kms. and drains towards the Laguna
Bay.

HAZARDS:
The poblacion area of Tanay is exposed to two kinds of rain-induced flooding:
1. FLASH FLOODS
Heavy rains, similar to what the town experienced during Ondoy in 2009 and Habagat in 2012,
can cause flooding at the poblacion barangays of Tandang Kutyo, Plaza Aldea, Wawa,
Tabing - Ilog, Kat-Bayani, Mag-Ampon, Pinagkamaligan, Kay - Buto and San Isidro. These
barangays have a combined population of 61,8926 based on the 2010 census. But most
vulnerable to flooding hazards are the residents along the banks or very near the Tanay River.
These are those from barangays Tandang Kutyo, Plaza Aldea, Tabing Ilog, Pinagkamaligan and
Wawa.

2. GEOLOGICAL HAZARD
GROUND RAPTURE
Maps provided by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau reveal the presence of fault lines
traversing the upland territories of the Tanay. A fault line is a separation or crack in the earth's
crust. It is the line where two or more of the tectonic plates in the earth's crust butt against
each other. An earthquake occurs when these plates move against each other. The fault lines
are located at the Tanay portion of the Marikina Watershed (Pinugay area), parts of Cuyambay
31
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
and Sampaloc, and within the Kaliwa Forest Reserve, particularly along the barangays of
Sta. Ines, Tinucan and Mamuyao.

The following is the result of the geo - hazard assessment conducted by geologists from the
Mines and Geosciences Bureau conducted in Tanay in 2012. Each barangay was rated low,
moderate or high based on the following parameters:
High
Presence of active and/or recent landslides
Presence of numerous and large tension cracks
Areas with drainages that are prone to debris damming
Areas with numerous old landslides/escarpments
Steep slopes
Presence of weak/rock slope materials
Structures(joints, beds) dipping towards the slope face
Nearness to faults
Moderate
Areas with indicative and/or old landslides
Presence of small tension cracks
Moderate slopes
Low
Low to gently sloping
No evidence of mass movement
The rating of each Barangay, unless specified, refers to the Barangay proper. The barangays
were presented with a Landslide Threat Advisory, when appropriate. The Advisory informs the
barangays of their susceptibility to landslides and contains the corresponding recommendations
particular to the barangay.
In terms of flooding susceptibility, the barangays were defined in the terms of the depth and
frequency of flooding.

Information obtained from the Phivolcs indicates certain areas of the municipality having
tendency towards liquefaction. The areas identified are the Tanay poblacion (with high
liquefaction susceptibility), the area situated near the Pililla River but inside Tanay (moderate
susceptibility) and the upland areas/barangays located along the Lanatin River system inside the
Kaliwa Watershed and areas near bodies of water within the Upper Marikina River Basin inside
Tanay (low susceptibility).

Fire Hazard
The Tanay poblacion, densely developed and thickly populated is vulnerable to fire hazard. It
has to be noted while the poblacion comprise less than 5% of the town’s total land area, 62% of
the town’s total population reside here. Residential houses, government facilities, commercial
buildings and several other vital structures crowd the urban/poblacion landscape.

Population growth result to expanded social and economic activities. Consequently, changes in
land uses also inevitably occur. This means that as population increases, there follows the need
for additional areas for housing, schools, commerce, health facilities, industries and many other
land uses.
Land must be judiciously allocated, used and managed. Land is finite resource and most often
than not, it lends itself to possible conflicting uses owing to its physical or natural
characteristics. While flat agricultural lands are also suitable for residential, commercial or
industrial purposes, the municipality needs to ensure that its land uses are viewed within
a larger context and development concerns like environment protection, sustainable economic
and human development and food security.
A. OBJECTIVES
The proposed land use plan aims for the optimum utilization of land considering among
others, the following major factors:
a. Physical (i.e., slope characteristics, land capability, soil type)
b. Socio-economic (projected population, food requirements)
c. Environment (i.e. ecological balance)
61
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
B. PLANNING PROJECTION
Population Projection
Tanay is a municipality with a large territory but with limited population. Officially, Tanay has a
total of nineteen (19) barangays, and the official national census of 2010 showed Tanay with a
population of 98,879. Most of it concentrated in its urban area. The poblacion, with a total of
nine (9) barangays, is the most populated area at 61,826 which accounts for more than
63 percent (%) of the total population (the official result of the 2015 census of population has
not yet been released as of this planning document preparation).
There are ten (10) other upland barangays in Tanay though Madilaydlay, also an upland
community, is hoped to be an added barangay (the 20th) to the municipality. Its area is the
subject of jurisdictional dispute between Sta. Maria, Laguna and Tanay, Rizal. Sampaloc is the
town’s biggest barangay in area (close to 9,000 has.) and population of 23,483.
To abate the effects of the expected increase of population in the urban areas in the future,
such as over - crowding, the proliferation of informal settlers, breakdown of services,
development must be dispersed to adjacent and outlying barangays, particularly at upper
portion of Plaza Aldea, Tandang Kutyo and at Brgy. Sampaloc. This may be done by distributing
infrastructure and economic activities opportunities and other services to these barangays.
The population base/reference used for this study is the 2013 projected population of Tanay at
106,921. Based on the 2000 and 2010 actual populations of the town, Tanay has an annual
population growth rate (APGR) of 2.64%. By the end therefore of the planning period of
2014 - 2023, adopting this APGR, Tanay will have a total population of 146,703.

From the 2000 and 2010 figures which are official census results from the National Statistics
Office, the annual population growth rate of the town is computed to be at 2.64%. The
projected population of Tanay from 2014 to 2023 therefore based on the said APGR is as follows:

For the projected population for 2015, an additional number of 6,450 were added to
accommodate the informal settlers from Pasig City who were relocated at the recently
developed Southville 10 housing project of the National Housing Authority at Sitio Daong,
Plaza Aldea.
Provincial Level
Tanay is a major commercial and trading center in eastern Rizal. Its large public market attracts
consumers and traders from neighboring towns in Rizal and even in the provinces of Laguna
and Quezon. It has also a vast tracts of agricultural lands and is thus envisioned in the Rizal
Provincial Framework Plan as a major source of agricultural products, particularly fruits and
vegetables, for the province and even the Metro Manila area.
Tanay also aims to be the first municipality of Rizal to host an export processing zone in the
province. The Rizal Provincial Government has a long-standing proposal to develop a 320-ha.
industrial estate at the Palayan ng Bayan in upland Tanay. The board resolution of the
Philippine Export Zone Authority for this proposed project has already been secured, and only
the Presidential Proclamation is being awaited for the industrial estate development to
proceed.
As the seat of the main campus of the state-owned University of Rizal System, Tanay is also a
significant player in the provision of tertiary education in the entire province. But with many of
the course offerings at this campus aligned towards agricultural development and
environmental management, this school in fact attracts students even from other neighboring
provinces, particularly from Laguna and Quezon.
Regional Level
nd
The 2 Infantry Division of the Philippine Army is located at Camp General Mateo Capinpin at
Sampaloc, this municipality. This being the case, Tanay is the de facto center of Southern Luzon
defense command of this service of the Armed Forces of the Philippines.

Tanay is also fast becoming a regional tourist destination site. The town abounds with numerous
natural tourist attractions and places of interest. The Daranak Falls is a popular tourist spot.
Former President Joseph Estrada’s resort which has a hotel, library, museum and conference
center is drawing visitors and guests. Similarly, the Regina Rica, a huge shrine of the Virgin Mary
recently erected at the hills of Sitio Aguho, Barangay Sampaloc and accessible via the Marikina-
Infanta Road attracts devotees all year round.
The area of the Kaliwa Watershed abounds with natural attractions, in particular caves, wide
and clean rivers and waterfalls which gives the place a huge potential for eco-tourism. There
are a lot of other interesting places to visit in Tanay, both natural and manmade. And with the
almost completed 100-km. Marikina-Infanta Road, almost 30 kilometers of which traverse the
upland territories of the town, Tanay has become even more accessible both from Quezon and
Laguna at the east and Metro Manila at the west.
National Level
The town is also envisioned by the national government to host the 130-m high Laiban Dam.
However, this proposed project will submerge in water Tanay’s seven (7) upland barangays and
therefore is encountering stiff opposition from to-be-affected residents. This hydropower dam
is intended to supply 1,900 million liters of water each day to Metro Manila and provide 30 MW
of power. The dam is planned to be located inside the Kaliwa Forest Reserve and will harness
the waters of the Lanatin and Lumutan River systems in Tanay and General Nakar, Quezon.
A smaller dam, the Kaliwa Dam, is also being proposed to be constructed in General Nakar,
Quezon, immediately adjacent to Brgy. Daraitan, Tanay’s south-easternmost barangay. But
while this 65-meter high dam is outside of Tanay, the 113-ha. lake of impounded water
(of Kaliwa River, a confluence of the Lanatin and Lumutan Rivers) will stretch in close
proximity to the Daraitan barangay proper. This project too has elicited negative reactions
from the local population. The twin projects of Laiban Dam and Kaliwa Dam have been named
as New Centennial Water Supply Project.
In 2006, former President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo issued Proclamation No. 1158 which
reserved a parcel of land under OCT No. 3556 titled in the name of the Republic of the
Philippines as new site of the Bilibid Prisons (270 has.) and field office site of DENR
CALABARZON (30 has.). The proposed area is at Brgy. Cuyambay, Tanay along the
Marikina-Infanta Road, adjacent to the 130-ha. eco - residential housing project being developed
under Presidential Proclamation No. 776. This proposal however has encountered stiff
opposition from the local government and the local population. The proposed site, consisting of
huge pillars of limestone formation, has been developed into an eco - tourism site and was
declared as a Local Protected Area by the municipal government of Tanay.

Development Constraints
Topography
Approximately 95% of Tanay lies within the Sierra Madre Mountain Range. The balance of
Tanay’s area is nestled at the foot of this mountain range, along the shore of the Laguna Bay.
The predominantly rising hills and mountainous topography of the municipality is to some
degree a limiting factor to its development. Of the municipality’s total land area of 33,466
hectares, Tanay has a total of 24,000 hectares of alienable and disposable lands as estimated by
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources. More than 18,000 hectares are within
the Kaliwa Forest Reserve and classified as public forest, part of the public domain which are
considered as environmentally critical areas. About 4,000 has. in turn are inside the Marikina
Watershed and thus area also subject to restrictive regulations being part of the protected area
systems. Of the more than 24,000 has. of A & D lands, about 95% are in the upland and
mountainous territory of Tanay. A measly 5% is flat: the area of the poblacion and its
surrounding prime agricultural lands.
Geographical Location
Tanay is 54 kilometers southeast of Manila. It has bearings 14 degrees 30 minutes North
Latitude and 121 degrees 17 minutes East Latitude. It is bounded north by Antipolo and Baras,
east by General Nakar, Quezon, south by Sta. Maria Laguna and Pililla, Rizal and west by the
lake. Its considerable distance constraints it to be a spillover area for development activities
in the Metro Manila area.

Table 17
SWOT Analysis
70
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
In a span of 15 years from 1999 up to 2013, the general land use reveal that the built-up areas of
the municipality increased by 587 hectares from 2,225 hectares to 2,812 hectares. The built-up
area of about 2,812 hectares represents about 8.4 percent of the municipality’s total land area.
At the Tanay proper, it is very significant to note that development occurred mostly at the
town’s agricultural lands and the immediately adjacent hilly areas of Plaza Aldea and
Tandang Kutyo. Irrigation water for the rice fields used to be supplied by the Salang Matanda
Dam, an old irrigation dam erected upstream of the Tanay River. But it is estimated that less
than 50% (about 200 has.) is being served by the municipal irrigation system.
The dam collapsed at the height of Storm Ondoy in September 2009. Since then, rice farmers
were reduced to being totally dependent on rain as source of irrigation water. With farms
laying idle and unproductive most of the time, many farm landowners were lured to
subdividing their properties into smaller parcels (residential lot sizes), and sold to interested
buyers. There is no dearth of buyers since the areas are flat and very near the urban core.
The irrigable lands at the town proper was reduced by approximately 10%, or by 5 hectares.
Thru representations from the local government, the dam was rebuilt in 2012 thru funds
provided by the Department of Agriculture.
In sum, the developments within the whole town are largely for residential and commercial
projects. The Garden Cottages residential subdivision in Barangay Cuyambay, a joint project of
the Department of Environment and Natural Resources with a private developer has an area of
130 hectares. The built up area of Sampaloc, Plaza Aldea and Tandang Kutyo also continue to
increase as more residential and commercial structures continue to be built. Significant
development also take place at the Manila East Road (Sagbat – Pillila Diversion Road),
Tanay-Sampaloc Road and the Marikina-Infanta Highway. Facilities, namely restaurants, lodging
houses, resorts and hotels have been sprouting at these areas. Several agro-industrial farms,
particularly poultry and piggery farms, were also established during this period.
Built-Up Areas
Built-up areas either compact or clustered grouping of structures found in a barangay. A mix of
residential, commercial, institutional, open spaces and light industrial land uses characterizes
the physical setting. The built-up area of Tanay urban core comprising of nine (9) barangays is
approximately 88 hectares or 2.60 percent of the total land area. This is generally concentrated
along the poblacion and along major road networks and barangay centers.
71
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
Apart from the urban core, Tanay has ten (10) scattered upland barangays which also form part
of the over-all built up areas of the entire town. To be added to this also are the upper
territories of the poblacion barangays of Plaza Aldea and Tandang Kutyo. These barangays
have a combined estimated built up area of 1,932 has., making the total built up area of the
whole of Tanay at 2,812 has.
Agricultural Lands
Tanay is predominantly an agricultural municipality. Based on data from the agriculture office,
around 658 hectares are actually being devoted to rice (lowland and upland); 580 has. for
vegetables and root crops; 300 has. are for agro-industrial uses, notably poultry and piggery
farms, and 6,376 has. are for orchards/ agro-forestry farms. Aside from rice and corn, Tanay is
also a producer of mangoes, coconuts, citrus, coffee, bananas, peanuts, gabi, sweet potatoes,
cassava and leafy vegetables. Total area actually devoted to agriculture / agro-industrial uses is
7,914 has.
But the town has huge tracts of lands in private hands which are either idle or under - utilized.
Mostly, these are unproductive grasslands. Roughly estimating, these grasslands have a total
area of close to 4,640 has. These lands have a huge potential for agricultural production though
because of the acidic character of their soil, considerable intervention is needed to make them
productive. These are mostly in the upland areas of Tanay.

The barangays of Plaza Aldea, Wawa, Tandang Kutyo, San Isidro, Pinagkamaligan,
Tabing - Ilog, Mag-Ampon, Kay-Buto and Kat - Bayani constitute the urban core of the
municipality. The urban side of the poblacion has an area of about 825 hectares. The remaining
portion of the Poblacion is currently being used as agricultural area.
The total existing (2013) residential land area is approximately 1,574 hectares at the poblacion.
There is a marked concentration of residential structures near urban amenities like schools,
public market and churches. The structural component of residential buildings are made of
concrete, wood and mixed type. But apart from the poblacion, the town has several dispersed
barangays, each constituting built -up residential area and commercial areas. Except for
Sampaloc, the urban areas of the rest of the mountain barangays (Cuyambay, Daraitan, Laiban,
73
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
San Andres, Cayabu, Tinucan, Sta. Ines, Sto. Nino and Mamuyao) occupy a relatively small area.
Residential subdivisions scattered at various locations within the municipality which were
previously approved by the Sangguniang Bayan will continue to be classified as “residential” in
the land use plan. These are enumerated as follows:

The existing commercial area in the urban center occupies fourteen (14) hectares. Commercial
establishments are mostly concentrated in the public market area and along the national roads
particularly Manila East Road (FT Catapusan St., Plaza Rizal, MH del Pilar St.), Tanay - Sampaloc
Road and the Sagbat – Pililla Diversion Road (Manila East Road). The latest major commercial
establishments to be developed are the Tanay Town Center (which houses the Save More
Supermarket and an assortment of restaurants, stores and boutiques, a bank and a clinic) and
the Puregold Supermarket. Popular fast food restaurants like Jollibee and Chow King are
located within the said strips, along with other food outlets, convenience stores, banks, drug
stores, gas stations, motorcycle outlets, pawnshops and many other more.
Approximately 350 hectares are devoted for industrial and agro-industrial purposes, but these
uses are scattered and located away from the poblacion. These include 32 poultry and piggery
farms, a cement factory (now idle), an adhesive company, a yarn firm, PVC factory and
ammunition factory (also idle). These are interspersed at Plaza Aldea, Sampaloc and
Tandang Kutyo.
Institutional area covers approximately 220 hectares. The area accommodates the municipal
building, private and public schools, hospitals and health centers, barangay halls and other
multi-purpose structures. The largest institutional land uses are by the University of Rizal System
campus at Sampaloc with 92 hectares; Camp Capinpin / 2nd Infantry Division, Philippine Army
with 44 hectares; the Bureau of Soil and Water Management with 30 has., and the National
Training School for Boys of the Department of Social Welfare and Development with 8 hectares
in area.
The existing transport and road network spaces in the urban core and rural areas are estimated
to reach 237 kilometers. The town is traversed by several national roads: Marikina-Infanta Road
(32 kms.); Tanay-Sampaloc Road (17 kms.), Sagbat-Pililla Diversion Road (Manila East Road)
/4.1 kms.), and the Manila East Road (MH de Pilar St., Plaza Rizal and FT Catapusan St. /
4.6 kms.)The rest are provincial, municipal and barangay roads. Roads within the town proper /
poblacion are concreted; at the upland areas however, these are mostly gravel surfaced.
Currently, the Tanay public market area at Sitio Pasipit, Brgy. Plaza Aldea serves as the
transportation terminal for buses, vans, FX’s, jeepneys, trikes and tricycles.

The Rizal Provincial Government owns approximately 2,300 hectares of land at Barangays
Cuyambay and San Andres in upland Tanay. Collectively, this area is called as Palayan ng Bayan.
Part of it is along the Marikina-Infanta Road, but a huge portion fell within the Kaliwa Forest
Reserve. A study conducted by the Singaporean consulting firm SINCONSULT as commissioned
by the province proposed the establishment within the area of a 320-hectare export processing
zone. To date though, this remains unrealized.

The municipality will need approximately one hundred thirty five (135) hectares for built-up
areas, specifically for residential, institutional, commercial, parks and open spaces. This is based
on the prescribed policy of the municipal government and its proposed programs and projects.
As framework for physical development, land use plans are by nature long-term planning
documents. Land is allocated in accordance with projected needs, with the local population
growth as principal consideration. However, the municipality is adopting a policy of
assimilating external population on a limited scale. To be more precise, it is open to
accommodating relocatees from the Metro Manila area as its way of contributing towards
finding solution to the problem of overcrowding in the metropolis and in the clearing of their
public areas and danger zones of informal settlers. The resultant increase in the population of
Tanay on the other hand is expected to generate / stimulate economic activities which will is
expected to contribute to the growth and development of the municipality.

BUILT-UP AREA
At the end of the planning period, it is envisioned that Tanay will have about one hundred fifty
(150) hectares allocated for development/expansion of built-up areas. Out of the total urban
expansion, 50 hectares are proposed for residential use, 16 hectares for commercial use,
18 hectares for institutional use, and 6 hectares for open spaces.
The proposed site for the establishment of a socialized housing pursuant to RA 7279, otherwise
known as the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA) is located at Sitio Gabihan,
Brgy. Tandang Kutyo. It will have an area of ten (10) hectares. This is reserved for the settlers
occupying the municipality’s danger zones.
Another area of ten (10) hectares at Sitio Dalawang Kawayan, Tandang Kutyo is intended to be
acquired and developed principally as housing village for employees of the government and the
private sector in order to ease pressure on the town’s irrigated rice lands. This is
approximately five (5) kms. away from the town proper.
An additional fifteen (15) has. are being proposed to be utilized as relocation site / housing
project at Sitio Daong, Plaza Aldea. This is along the Tanay - Sampaloc Road, about five (5) kms.
distant from the town proper, very close to the industrial zone. Additionally, another area of
fifteen (15) has. at Sitio Waray, also at Plaza Aldea is being allocated as housing expansion
area.
Six (6) hectares will be utilized as site for a national government center where an annex of the
Rizal Provincial Hospital System will be constructed along with an extension campus of the
University of Rizal System. Additionally, it is envisioned to be the location of a warehouse of
the Department of Social Welfare and Development as well as municipal and regional trial
courts and a public park. The area is along the Sagbat – Pililla Diversion Road
(Manila East Road).
Portion of the two (2)- hectare municipal property at Dalawang Kawayan, Tandang Kutyo, will
be developed into an agricultural field office, nursery and municipal training center. It is located
approximately three (3) kilometers away from the municipal proper, and used to be the town’s
dump facility. It has been closed and rehabilitated since then.
Areas for the establishment of public elementary and high schools are also proposed at the
following site: Sitio Dalawang Kawayan, Tandang Kutyo: 2 hectares; Brgy. Sampaloc,
84
Comprehensive Land Use Plan, 2014-2023 Municipality of Tanay, Rizal
2 hectares; Sitio Bathala, Plaza Aldea: 2 hectares; and Sitio Tablon, Cuyambay : 2 hectares;
Wawa 1 ha.
The cemetery located at the town’s boundary with Baras along the Sagbat – Plilla Diversion
Road (Manila East Road) will be expanded in area by another half (0.5) hectare in anticipation
of the additional space requirements. But a separate public cemetery at Sampaloc will also be
developed with an area of 1 hectare for the use of this and its immediately adjoining barangays.
The Plan incorporates the increase of residential areas for housing needs in response to current
and future increment over the years. This includes the unmet housing requirement and
unacceptable dwelling units evidenced by the presence of urban poor settlers/dwellers and the
future housing needs demanded for additional areas due to the population increase and
in-migration. The following are allocated for this purpose:

Rice lands surrounding the poblacion and covered by DAR Administrative Order No. 20,
or the non-negotiability for conversion of irrigable areas will be preserved, except those
which have been converted into urban uses. These areas are situated at Barangay Plaza
Aldea, Kay Buto, San Isidro and Wawa, and have an approximate gross area of four
hundred (460) hectares. Taking cognizance of the fact that the importance of
preservation of agricultural lands is no longer confined to the issue of food security
but to climate change and disaster preparedness as well, the municipality is
reverting back to agricultural use areas previously designated as residential zone.
These are prime agricultural lands located at Brgys. San Isidro and Wawa which have
an estimated area of ten (10) hectares. The municipality recognizes that flat
agricultural lands effectively serve as flood plains where flood waters may freely run,
mitigating floodings in built-up areas.

These are areas with slope ranging from 8% to 18%. Agricultural lands within this zone
will be devoted to cultivation, raising and growing of staple crops, such as rice, corn,
camote, cassava and the like. Growing of diversified plants and trees, such as fruit and
flower bearing trees, coffee is allowed, as well as silviculture, mushroom culture,
fishing and fish culture. Residential structures and ancillary dwelling units/farmhouses
for tillers and laborers are allowed here.

AGRO-FORESTRY AREA
With the exception of the Tanay town proper and the flat, prime agricultural lands that surround
it, the topography of the rest of the town is generally characterized by hilly to rugged terrain.
Except for the declared watershed/protected areas, built-up areas and other purposes as
classified in this plan, these areas, generally with slope of above 18%, will be allocated for agro-
forestry use. These will be planted to production trees such as mahogany, gemelina, ipil trees
and fruit-bearing trees such as mangoes, cashew, star apple etc. In this manner, the land
becomes agriculturally productive, the soil is protected against erosion and the agro-forest
cover will serve to protect Tanay’s low-lying district from flooding.

In line with the municipality’s vision to be a major tourist destination site, several sites are
identified as tourism zones. These are: 1.5 -km. radius from Daranak and Batlag Falls at
Brgy. Tandang Kutyo and Plaza Aldea, covering the Rawang and Calinawan Caves at Tandang
Kutyo; Tanay Grotto at Aldea; one (1)-km. radius from the Regina RICA Shrine at Sampaloc;
Lakeshore Drive at San Isidro ; Tinipak White Rocks at Daraitan. Five hundred (500) meters
from both sides of the Marikina-Infanta Road from this road at the Pranjetto Resort area at
Sampaloc to the Garden Cottages area at Pinagtarangkahan, Cuyambay, and 200 meters on
both sides of the Tanay-Sampaloc Road from Sitio Balimbing Bridge , Plaza Aldea until
Sitio Bayucan, Sampaloc will also be designated as parks, recreation and tourism zone.
The previously designated recreation zones at Sitio Bayucan (172 has.) and at Sitio Masalat
(118 has.), both at Brgy. Sampaloc, will be retained. Allowed uses will be resorts, hotels,
restaurants, theaters, camp sites. Along the stretch of the Marikina-Infanta and Tanay -
Sampaloc Roads PRTZ, maximum height limit will be two (2) stories to preserve the view of the
lake and the mountain range. The half-hectare Tanay Park at the heart of the Tanay poblacion is
included under this zone.

The Kaliwa Watershed, a declared forest reserve under Proclamation 573, will remain to be
designated as a protected area in consonance with R.A 7586, also known as the National
Integrated Protected Area Systems Act. The Tanay portion of this watershed consisting of
about 18,000 has. are where seven (7) mountain barangays of the municipality are located.
Consistent with DENR Administrative Order No. 26, it will be zoned into strict protection zone
and multiple use zone. This area will be managed in strict compliance to the provisions of the
said law and its Implementing Rules and Regulations.

The restoration and protection of the natural habitat will be a foremost concern within this
watershed. Existing communities will be encouraged to become partners in the protection of
the area’s resources; the encroachment of new settlers and development of new settlements
will be strongly discouraged. While there are known deposits of iron ore and manganese at the
area, mining is prohibited. Destructive agricultural activities and practices (such as kaingin
farming) will not be allowed. Because of the presence of large tracts of arable lands and natural
attractions such as caves and waterfalls, not to mention the clean and wide Lanatin River,
the watershed will be promoted as an agri-eco tourism area.
This is located at the central portion of the municipality. Covering an area of 1,623.84 hectares
as surveyed by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources R-IV-A Land Evaluation
Party, the site has been declared as a “Local Protected Area” by the Sangguniang Bayan.
The headwaters of the Tanay River which cuts across the poblacion and irrigates the town’s
prime agricultural lands are located here.

It is very significant to note that the renowned Masungi Rock formation, a landscape of
towering pillars of limestone formation, is located here. This is perceived to become a top
tourist drawer for the town on account of the karst formation’s unique beauty. The area teems
with wildlife, both flora and fauna with some found to be included in the list of threatened
species by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature. The area is under
co-management agreement between Tanay and DENR-CALABARZON. As a protected area,
prohibited acts as listed in the NIPAS Act (RA 9175) apply. The Masungi Rock Management
Council, a multi-sectoral body chaired by the mayor, is the area’s governing and managing body.

The municipality will continue to utilize its property of three (3) hectares at Sitio Tulay,
Barangay Tandang Kutyo, where the MRF is located. This is approximately five (5) kilometers
away from the town proper. It will continue to be used as processing site for bio-degradable
waste materials into organic fertilizers and non-biodegradable wastes, particularly plastics and
styrofore, into useable finished products such as pavers and plant boxes. Production of
charcoal briquettes made from leaves, twigs, coconut husks and other waste materials,
as opposed to traditional charcoal production which involve environmentally destructive
cutting of trees, is also to be undertaken here. The site also serves as sorting area for residual
waste prior to their transport to the sanitary land fill at the neighboring town of Morong.
