The city's economic sector is primarily divided into agriculture and fisheries, trade and services, and
industry. The city's agricultural sector focuses on rice and vegetable production, with two cropping
seasons per year. The city also produces mussels, cooked shells, bangus, sugpo, and tilapia. However,
the city faces challenges in maintaining its agricultural and fishery production due to urbanization,
population growth, and lack of capital.

The city's industry sector is divided into non-pollutive and pollutive industries. Non-pollutive industries
include furniture, food, and clothing manufacturing. Pollutive industries include those that produce high
levels of pollution. The city's industrial centers are located in the central and southern parts of the city.

eateries, hardware and construction supplies, and other service-related industries. These players are
concentrated in areas along national roads like General Aguinaldo and Tirona Highways.

potential tourist attractions related to nature. These attractions are accessible by land and near the
highway with an average distance of 2.6 kilometers. The city has identified five supplementary tourist
attractions that initially revolve around religious and historical festivals.
The city's tourism facilities provide recreation activities across the 14 barangays in the city. The city also
has potential tourist attractions that are related to nature. These attractions have the highest potential
for generating profit and have a good impact on citizens and the government. The city's tourism sector
has the potential to generate income and support the development of cottage industries in the coastal
barangays.

4.3 Environmental Issues

The city of Bacoor faces several environmental issues, including solid waste management, water quality,
and air quality. The city collects an average of 283.76 tons of solid waste daily, with most of it being
disposed outside the city. This practice can lead to flooding in river zones like Zapote and Imus. To
address this issue, the city should explore waste management schemes like water-to-energy programs
and promote composting and waste segregation.

In terms of water quality, the city has a high percentage of households using sanitary toilets, at 95%.
However, the city still faces the issue of perennial flooding and the need for a buffer zone along
riverbanks. The city should prepare for relocations of informal settlers and implement interim uses like
theme water sports facilities.

The city also faces challenges in managing air quality. While the air quality is currently acceptable,
population growth and urbanization can compromise air quality. The city should monitor air quality and
take measures to lessen potential polluters like vehicle smokes and industrial emissions.

To address these environmental issues, the city should:

1. Implement waste management schemes like water-to-energy programs and promote

composting and waste segregation.
2. Conduct a study on small water impounding systems to mitigate flooding in the Molino Dam
area.
3. Diversify water resources and lay pipes to cover the entire city.
4. Identify potential sites for desalination plants and rehabilitate the river system.
5. Monitor air quality and take measures to lessen potential polluters.

facilities.
7. By addressing these issues, the city can improve its environmental management and ensure
sustainable development.

water supply, and poor power distribution. To address these issues, the city should:

1. Implement traffic management measures, such as traffic enforcement, parking and terminal
facilities, and prohibition of on-street parking in major traffic roads during rush hours.
2. Conduct a study on small water impounding systems to mitigate flooding in the Molino Dam
area.
3. Diversify water resources and lay pipes to cover the entire city.
