Chapter 1
Subic Then and Now
History

The early inhabitants of Subic were the Negritos of Zambales (more popularly known as Aetas). At the
end of the Pleistocene, seafarers from the Malay Peninsula of the Asian mainland sailed to the
Southeast Asian islands, establishing pockets of population. The Malays were the first migrants to
reach Zambales and drove the Negrito aborigines from the plains and valleys to the mountains. They
found themselves at the western coastal plain of Luzon between Subic Bay and Lingayen Gulf.

The town of Subic was founded by the Augustinian Friar, Father Rodrigo de San Miguel in 1607. The
Spanish government christianized the Negritos and made them subjects of Spain. However, there were
resistance by the Negritos and they continued to defy the government. In 1884, King Alfonso II issued a
Royal Decree officially declaring Subic Bay as a naval port and Subic became Spain’s stronghold in the
Far East. After the Spanish-American war, which erupted in April 25, 1898, the U.S naval forces took
over Subic and its Bay, whose deep harbor was regarded by Admiral George Dewey as having no
equal in the Philippine Islands.

In 1901, the U.S. Navy designated Subic Bay as a repair and supply naval base site. U.S. President
Theodore Roosevelt issued an executive order in 1903 designating 70,000 acres of land including
Subic as an American military reservation because of its strategic importance. Nearly 50% of Subic’s
original land area became part of the military reservation area.

Subic was in ruins after the Japanese bombers and fighter planes attacked Subic Bay and Olongapo on
December 14, 1941. During the Japanese occupation from 1942 to 1945, Subic served as a monitoring
and defense facility of the Japanese Imperial Army until the end of World War II. On January 29, 1945,
40,000 troops landed in Zambales and advanced through Subic Bay to regain control of the base.

Olongapo, a barrio of Subic and part of the U.S. Military Reservations was turned over to the
Philippines and converted into a municipality by virtue of Executive Order No. 366 issued by then
President Carlos P. Garcia in December 7, 1959. Based on census data, this milestone in Subic’s
history resulted in the drastic reduction of the town’s population by more than half, from 25,233 to
12,985 in 1948 and 1960, respectively.

The U.S. Navy had utilized Subic Bay as a base under the 1947 Military Bases Agreement. However, in
1991 the extension of this Agreement was rejected by the Senate of the Philippines and the U.S.
facilities were turned over to the government in 1992. Republic Act No. 7227 or the Bases Conversion
and Development Act of 1992 formulated the Subic Special Economic and Freeport Zone (SSEFZ) and
established the administrative organization named the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). The
SSEFZ includes the Municipality of Subic. SBMA anticipates a gradual expansion of the Freeport Zone
with Olongapo City and Subic Town as the initial areas targeted for immediate development. Subic
today as a town is separate and distinct from SBMA and from Olongapo City.

Ecosystem Analysis
This chapter presents studies conducted by various national agencies to help the Municipality develop
a better understanding of its ecosystem’s interrelationships from the mountains to the seas. It includes
the analysis of Subic’s forest and costal resources, as well as the potential impact of climate change
and various natural hazards.

Source: Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2001-2010, Socio-Economic and Physical Profile

The description for the various soil types is given below: (Subic Conversion Sub-Program Vol. 4, 1990).

Quingua series: The surface soils of this series appear as light brown, yellowish brown, to brown silt
loam to fine sandy loam with abundant red to chocolate brown streaks. The surface soil is loose and
somewhat porous. The subsoil, on the other hand, is light brown silty clay loam to clay. It is one of the
highly priced agricultural land in Zambales.

Antipolo series: The soils in this series appear as red or reddish brown and believed to have
originated from volcanic igneous rocks, which are mostly andesites. The Antipolo clay type under the
series occupies lower elevations of mountainsides and foothills of Subic, which for the most part is
under second growth forest. Fruit trees and diversified annual crops are grown. Due to its undulating to
rolling topography, the soil is susceptible to erosion. Antipolo clay soils are slightly acidic and low in
phosphorous. To reduce erosion in cultivated areas, contour tillage, strip cropping or terracing are
desirable.

Hydrosoil type: This miscellaneous soil type is found in the coastal areas, of Subic and therefore,
could be under water throughout the year. Although, these soils are not suited for cultivation of
agricultural crops, they are suitable for growing mangroves and mangrove-associated species such as
nipa palms. They can also be used as substrate for fishponds and saltbeds.

Mountain soils, undifferentiated: This soil series is called as such because they occupy the sites
which have not been fully classified nor surveyed. This soil series is found in heavily forested and the
rugged terrain which makes them inaccessible during site inventory.

Topography, Slope, and Elevation
Subic’s topography is characterized by rolling and rugged mountainous terrain. Based on landscape

Land Cover
1986 data showed only four (4) land covers: brush/shrubs, grassland, inland water, and perennial
wherein brush/shrubs cover around 55% of the total land area. Correspondingly, 1.90% of the total
land area of 25,391.66 covering 482 hectares showed no data (Figure 6). On the other hand, seven
(7) additional land covers were identified by the DENR in 2010: built-up, fishpond, wooded grassland,
mangrove forest, open forest, and open/barren. Grassland and open forest covers make up 28.47%
and 26.53% of the total land area, respectively (Figure 7). Comparing the 2010 and 2015 DENR data
on land cover, brush-shrubs registered the largest increase in percentage from 14.76% in 2010 to
33.48% in 2015 (Figure 8).

Land Cover
Definition
Classification
Annual Crop Land cultivated with crops with a growing cycle of up to one year, which must be newly sown or planted
land for further production after harvesting.
Brush land An area characterized by discontinuous cover of shrubby and noon wood vegetation including grasses.
Built-up Composed of areas of intensive use with much of the land covered by structures. It includes cities,
towns, villages, strip developments along highways, transportation, power, and communication,
facilities, and areas occupied by mills, shopping centers, etc.
Fishpond Bodies of water surrounded by land
Grassland Areas predominantly vegetated with grasses such as Imperata, Themada, Saccharum spp., among
others.
Wooded Areas predominantly vegetated with grasses, such as Imperata, Themeda, Saccharum and where
Grassland the trees cover between 5 to 10% of the area and their height may reach 5 meters at maturity.

Inland Water The bodies of water surrounded by land (e.g. rivers, lakes, streams, mudflats, ponds or fishponds, dams
and reservoirs).
Mangrove Forested wetland growing along tidal mudflats and along shallow water coastal areas extending inland
Forest along rivers, streams and their tributaries where the water is generally brackish and composed mainly
of Rhizopora, Bruguiera, Ceriops, Avicenia, and Aegicera spp.

Open Forest Forest formations with discontinuous tree layer but with coverage of at least 10 percent and less than
40 percent. They are either managed or unmanaged forests, in initial state of succession. Generally,
there is a continuous grass layer allowing grazing and spreading of fires.

Open/Barren Land not covered by (semi-) natural or artificial cover. This includes among others, sand dunes, river
wash, lahar-laden areas and rocky or stony areas.
Perennial Land cultivated with long term crops that do not have to replanted for several years after each harvest.
Cropland Harvesting components are not timber but fruits, latex and other products that do not significantly harm
the growth of the planted trees or shrubs.

Faults

According to a study conducted by


Rimando & Rimando (2020), there are
some active faults passing through
Central Luzon and Northern Luzon, such
as Coastal Thrust Fault (CTF), Philippine
Fault Zone (PFZ), Vigan-Aggao Fault
(VAF), Pugo Fault (PF), Tebbo Fault
(TeF), Tuba Fault (TuF), Digdig Fault
(DF), East Zambales Fault (EZF), and
Marikina Valley Fault System (MVFS)
(Figure 9)

This information could indicate a


considerable possibility for the
occurrence of earthquakes in these
areas. A more detailed map of active
faults in Central Luzon is shown in
Figure 10.

Subic is located near the Manila Trench lying west of the Luzon Island. The North Luzon Ridge and
North Luzon Trough forming a focal mechanism of strike-slip type characterizes this trench.

On the other hand, there is only one active fault in Zambales, the Iba Fault, which passes through the
municipalities of Botolan, Iba, Palauig, Masinloc, Candelaria, and Sta. Cruz (Figure 11). Dasol Fault in
the Province of Pangasinan also traverses the northern portion of the Municipality of Santa Cruz. The
East Zambales Fault (EZF) can be traced in the provinces of Pangasinan and Tarlac.

Water Characteristics

Physical Oceanography

Recent physical oceanographic study for Subic Bay reveals a weak circulation that is mainly driven by
the wind and the tide. Observed surface currents during moderate wind conditions ranged from a very
low velocity of about 3 centimeters per second to a maximum of about 21 centimeters per second. This
shows very little or almost no stratification within the water column during the dry season. Temperature
and salinity changes with depth (about 2 degrees centigrade and 2 parts per thousand, respectively)
during an actual field measurement are insignificant to cause stratification in Subic Bay. These
oceanographic characteristics of the area imply a well-mixed coastal sea and an almost homogeneous
dilution of pollution loads in the water column. Furthermore, pollutants are transported slowly away from
the source. Because of the weak circulation in the bay, sediments accumulate in many areas and could
result to a potentially harmful siltation problem. Pollutants such as nutrients and total suspended solids
emanating from agricultural, domestic and industrial sources could also accumulate inside the bay
especially within the eastern coastal areas where flushing is apparently minimal. Nutrient accumulation

eventually could lead to a net eutrophication and excessive algal growth in the bay (Municipality of
Subic, 2001).

Watersheds

Subic has four (4) identified watersheds (CLUP 2001-2010):

The Malagan watershed has an area of 2,700 hectares, about 80% of which has a slope greater than
18%. About 78.8% of the area has an elevation range of 0-300 meters above sea level. It is traversed
by 3 kilometers of major streams and 41.5 kilometers of tributaries. The land is predominantly savannah
and brush land with only about 5.8% constituting the build-up area. The catchment area has soil types
classified into 60.6% Antipolo clay loam, 32.2% mountain soils, and 7.2% Quingua silt loam.

The Calapandayan watershed has an area of 1,500 hectares. The topography is generally flat to
moderately steep with 36.0% and 63.8% belonging to 0-18% and greater than 36% slopes,
respectively. More than 85% of the area has an elevation range of 0-300 meters above sea level. It is
traversed by 2.5 kilometers of major streams and 20 kilometers of minor tributaries. The catchment
basin is mainly savannah and brush land which constitutes 94.8% of the area. Its soils are classified as
Antipolo clay loam, mountain soils, and Quingua silt loam at 70.2%, 22.8%, and 7.0% distribution,
respectively.

The Quinabucsan watershed is located in Barangay Cawag with an area of 1,200 hectares. The
topography is generally rugged with more than 90% of the area having slopes greater than 18%. About
85% of the land has an elevation range of 0-300 meters above sea level. The basin is traversed by 1.25
kilometers of major streams and 24 kilometers of tributaries. The area is predominantly grassland with
about 60% covered with cogon. Only 26.8% of the watershed is forested. Its soils are classified under
the mountain soil series. About half of the area is highly susceptible to erosion.

The Basilio watershed is also located in Barangay Cawag with an area of 3,200 hectares. The terrain
is generally rugged with about 80% of the area having slopes greater than 18%. About 74.6% of the
area has an elevation range of 0-300 meters above sea level. The basin is traversed by 1.5 kilometers
of major streams and 42.5 kilometers of tributaries. The catchment basin is predominantly grassland
with only about 6% classified as forested. The soil types found in the area include Antipolo clay loam
(37.8%), mountain soil (49.4%), Quingua silt loam (12.2%) and Hydrosol (0.6%). About 70% of the area
is highly susceptible to soil erosion.

Furthermore, Subic, particularly Barangay Batiawan, is situated to four (4) watersheds outside its
jurisdiction, namely Olongapo Watershed Forest Reserve, Mangan-vaca Watershed Forest Reserve,
Sto. Tomas River Watershed and Pinulot-Caulaman River Watershed (Figure 17).

The Sto. Tomas Watershed is considered as one of the critical watersheds located at the southern
part of the Province of Zambales, which covers the municipalities of Botolan, San Felipe, San Narciso,
San Marcelino, Castillejos, and Subic, with an approximate aggregate area of 26,245.67 hectares
(CENRO, 2022, p.1, 3). About 1.83%% or 480.41 hectares are located in Barangay Naugsol (CENRO,
2022, p. 83). Sto. Tomas Watershed has a perimeter of 146.28 kilometers, a basin length of about
34.25 kilometers, and an average width of 23.26 kilometers. Its elevation ranges from 0-1,740 meters
above sea level – the lowest elevation located at the main stream or watershed outlet in San Felipe

Fishing was once a major source of livelihood as indicated by the presence of fish port called
“Bulungan” near the public market area. But since Subic became part of the Subic Special Economic
and Freeport Zone (SSEFZ) by virtue of Proclamation No. 532 in 1995, which was established pursuant
to Republic Act No. 7227 or the Bases Conversion and Development Act of 1992, more industries are
coming in, which gradually shifts Subic into a “highly commercialized and industrialized” municipality
(Municipality of Subic, 2014). But in spite of the many challenges being brought about by the
industrialization, Subic aims to bring its constituents an improved quality of life through sustainable
development. Hence, seven (7) municipal ordinances and resolutions were enacted to protect and
conserve Subic’s coastal resources.

In the Foreshore Zone Map, foreshore areas are classified into six (6) zones (Figure 20). The
Commercial/Recreational/Tourism Zone is located within the northern and eastern part covering the
shorelines of Cawag, Calapandayan, Calapacuan, and Matain. On the other hand, a portion of
Wawandue’s shoreline (Subic Fishport) in the northern part was classified as Fishport Zone and Agro-

In 2011, Subic has established its Marine Protected Area (MPA) containing an area of 118 hectares,
which is divided into the core zone and the buffer zone. It covers the vicinity adjacent to the Sneak
Island and includes the remaining strip of seagrass habitat found within the northern part of the main
island (DA-BFAR, 2022b).

Habitat Assessment

In 2009, a Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) was conducted by the municipality led
by the Department of Agriculture-Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources (DA-BFAR) to assess the
status of the six (6) coastal barangays. This assessment also resulted in the identification of protected
area and fish sanctuary.

Coral Reefs in Coastal Barangays


“Coral reefs are warm, clear, shallow ocean habitats that are rich in life. The reef’s massive structure is
formed from coral polyps, tiny animals that live in colonies. When coral polyps die, they leave behind a
hard, stony, branching structure made of limestone. Coral reefs are compared to rainforest in terms of
productivity, diversity and ecological complexity. Coastal communities also depend on this ecosystem
as a source of food ranging from daily subsidence to commercial scale and various ornamental
products. But due to adverse human impact, the resources in the coral reef area are being degraded
and nearly in great danger.”(DA-BFAR, 2009). The following criteria on coral reef condition were used
in all the studies conducted by the DA-BFAR for the Subic coastal resources.

Table 14: Criteria on Coral Reef Condition


Condition Criteria
Excellent 76-100% hard coral cover
Good 51-75% hard coral cover
Fair 26-25% hard coral cover
Poor 0-25% hard coral cover

The overall coral reefs condition of Subic in 2009 was classified as poor (Table 14) with an average of
12.83% hard coral cover (Table 15). Coral reefs were found in Calapacuan, Cawag, and Matain
wherein Cawag has the largest percentage of hard coral cover (19.50%) while Matain has the lowest
percentage (6.50%). No data were generated from Baraca-Camachile, Calapandayan, and Wawandue
due to the absence of coral reefs during the assessment. Some of the contributing factors include
dynamite fishing, cyanide fishing, trawl fishing in municipal waters, and quarrying of stones and dead
corals, which are destructive to the coastal resources. On the other hand, there is a large percentage
of sand or silt (42.43%) visualized in the area, which was due to the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo (DA-
BFAR, 2009, p.33-34).

Coral Reefs in Subic MPA


On March 23-25, 2022, DA-BFAR conducted a Rapid Resource Assessment (RRA) of the Subic MPA)
wherein a significant reduction was observed in the percentage of average live hard coral cover from
35% in 2011 to 18% in 2022. These figures may be attributed to several factors such as occasional
illegal and/or destructive fishing activities, and relative effects of strong storm surge over the past
decade (DA-BFAR, 2022b, p.5).

Non-living (27.93%) components such as sand and rubble comprise the majority in the assessed area.
The prevalence of algae (21.25%) and dead corals with algae (18.67%) were also observed.

Land Use Development

Created in 1607, the town of Subic is considered one of the oldest towns in the Philippines. Recognized
for its deep natural harbor and protective ring of rolling rugged mountain ranges that slopes down to the
bay, Subic’s land utilization since its creation has been defined by its strategic location as a military
outpost. The Municipality today, however, has evolved into a bustling dormitory town capable of
providing land for expanding social and economic activities emanating from neighboring Subic Bay
Freeport and Olongapo City. The town’s potential land utilization continues to reflect its level of
economic development. As an evolving agrarian community, Subic has tremendous potentials of being
transformed into a growth center for agri-industrial development in the Province of Zambales.

Pre-Spanish Period

The early inhabitants of Subic were the Negritos of Zambales, also known as Aetas or Agtas. Early
accounts reveal that these people lived wholly on hunting and depended entirely on the vast forests of
Subic for their daily sustenance. Although they are not known for their agricultural practices, Aeta
settlements were established in areas were food was readily available. Establishing their temporary
shelters in the forested plains and valleys of Subic, the Aetas hunted deer, wild boar, monkeys, birds,
bats, wild cats, snakes and large lizards for food. Other forest delicacies that made up their diet include
palm cores, bamboo shoots, edible ferns, mushroom, fungi, rattan fruits and assorted fruits such as
guavas. With the arrival of the first wave of migrants in Zambales, mostly seafarers from the Malay
Peninsula, pocket settlements were established in areas where Aeta communities were located.
Through time, they were eventually pushed away from the low lands towards the uplands. Subic then
was a stretch of rolling rugged and thickly forested mountain ranges that formed a ring around to the
bay.

Spanish Colonization

Spanish colonization in the Philippines was successfully waged through the work of the missionaries
who did much in laying the foundation of colonial rule. The exploration and eventual conquest of
Zambales by the Spaniards began in 1572. In that year, Captain Juan de Salcedo, youthful grandson
of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, founder of Manila, went on an expedition to explore the western coast of
Luzon and to collect tributes for the Spanish King, Phillip II. They sailed along the coast of Bolinao and
arrived in Subic Bay. In a report to the King, Salcedo observed that the deep waters of Subic Bay
provided sheltering anchorage and that its strategic location was ideal as a naval outpost. Until the 19 th
century, Subic then was made up of small sparsely populated fishing villages. Much later, after
Salcedo’s exploration, the Augustinian missionaries were mobilized to organize the Province of
Zambales, one of the first provinces created by the Spaniards. The new province of Zambales
encompassed the coastal plains and mountain ranges from Subic to Bolinao along the Lingayen Gulf.
In 1607, Subic became one of the earliest new towns to be established along with Masinloc (1607), Iba
(1611) and Sta. Cruz (1612).

In his book “Provincia de San Nicolas de Tolentino de Agustinos Descalzos,” Augustinian Friar
Reverend Father Rodrigo de San Miguel, founder of the town of Subic, describes the environment then:

“… The climate is healthful, and its products are rice and farinaceous plants. There is an abundance of
drinking water which flows in their vicinity east to west of two rivers called Baliti and Wawandui.

In its forest are found different classes of wood (lumber) which are known in other points of the island.”

The Recollects were instrumental in organizing parishes that later became the pueblos or towns. To
successfully push through with their town settlement program, the Spaniards adopted a strategy known
as reduccion wherein people were uprooted from scattered settlements and forced to resettle in
compact villages comprising of between 2,400 and 5,000 people.

Deeply impressed with Subic Bay’s natural endowments and strategic location, the Spaniards
constructed an arsenal in the area. The establishment of a small Spanish fort in Subic may be
considered as the first event that marks a long history which recognizes Subic’s strategic importance
specifically for naval purposes. In 1884, King Alfonso II issued a Royal Decree officially declaring Subic
Bay as “a naval port and the property appertaining thereto aside for naval purposes.” Subic thus
became Spain’s stronghold in the Far East.

After the Spanish-American war which erupted in April 25, 1898, the U.S. naval forces took over Subic
and its bay, whose deep harbor was regarded by Admiral George Dewey as “having no equal in the
Philippine Island.”

American Period

In 1901, the U.S. Navy designated Subic Bay as a repair and supply naval base site. Because of its
strategic importance for such purpose, U.S. President Theodore Roosevelt issued an executive order in
1903 designating 70,000 acres of land including Subic as an American military reservation. Nearly 50
percent of Subic’s original land area became part of the military reservation area. A year later, the
Subic Naval Station became operational and provided support to the US Asiatic Fleet. Prior to World
War I, the station was considered the largest US Marine Corps Training Facility in the world. The
station provided dry-dock services through the Dewey Dry-dock from Virginia, U.S.A which arrived in
Subic Bay in 1906. The facility handled ships up to 20,000 tons or the largest American ships at that
time.

Till about the end of the 1930s, much of Subic’s rugged mountain ranges were forest-covered with
abundant tree species such as hard wood, bayog, baito, yantok, bayabas and buho.

Setting up of Sawmill Operations

In the 30's, a mustachioed Filipino named Luciano Soriano, also known as “Mr. Bigote” established a
sawmill in Subic to capitalize on a burgeoning logging industry. The Luciano Soriano Sawmill brought
workers and many young people who found work in logging. The company had to establish temporary
roads in the logging areas. Eventually, economic activities spurred by logging operations made a few
local individuals and families very rich. Logs were sold to Soriano who in turn processed them into
lumber and other wood products that were sold either locally or in Manila. The logging trails that were
established made travel to the interior areas accessible and less dangerous. In time, the sawmill
operations as well as logging activities encouraged more homesteaders to settle in Subic. Many of
these homesteaders came from nearby provinces such as Ilocos and Pampanga and were engaged in
clearing virgin forests. The sawmill became the center of various activities in Subic.

During this period, the dominant sources of employment were farming and fishing. Rice production was
the main agricultural activity on land. Agriculture and inland fisheries were the dominant land uses
along the coastline. Settlements were concentrated in barangays Ilwas, Wawandue, Asinan Poblacion,
Calapandayan, Calapacuan and Matain. Mangrove areas dominated much of Subic’s coastal areas
especially in barangay Cawag.

During and After World War II

On December 14, 1941, Japanese bombers and fighter planes attacked Subic Bay and Olangapo.
Subic was in ruins after the bombings. During the Japanese occupation, from 1942 to 1945, Subic
served as a monitoring and defense facility of the Japanese Imperial Army until the end of World War II.
During this period, the people of Subic proved their resilience by engaging in farming and fishing
despite the dangers. The forest-covered mountains and rugged terrain of Subic served as the hideouts
of guerrilla forces. People were forced to resettle or concentrate in barangay Manganvaca as the
Japanese increased their presence in Wawandue, Asinan Poblacion, Ilwas and Calapandayan.

On January 29, 1945, forty thousand (40,000) American troops landed in Zambales and advanced
through Subic Bay to regain control of the base. This marked the beginning of the Reconstruction
Period and the proliferation of logging operations in Subic. The demand for wood and wood products for
construction resulted in the rampant exploitation of Subic's virgin forests. The damage, from the plains
to the highlands, was irreparable. Logging operations mushroomed all over Zambales. Fishing and
farming however continued to be the people’s main sources of income and employment.

The opening of the American Sub-marine Station in Sitio Agusuhin in Cawag attracted people from
Subic and neighboring towns who were looking for employment opportunities inside the new base.
Many locals were hired either as laborers or base employees. Subic town did not flourish economically
despite the presence of the U.S. bases. The lack of road infrastructure as well as poor road conditions
within the town hampered Subic’s development as a catchment area of commercial activities linked to
the expanding American military presence in the area. The presence of the U.S. Bases however
transformed barangay Calapandayan into the “Redlight” district of Subic where fun houses providing
nighttime entertainment dominated both sides of the national road that cut through it. These fun
houses essentially catered to American military personnel stationed in Subic.

On December 7, 1959, Olongapo, then a barrio of Subic and also a part of the U.S. Military
Reservations, was turned over to the Philippines and converted into a municipality by virtue of
Executive Order No. 366 issues by then President Carlos P. Garcia. Based on census data taken
during the years 1948 and 1960, this milestone in Subic’s history resulted in the drastic reduction of the
town’s population by more than half, from 25,233 (1948) to 12,985 (1960).

The 1960s and ’70s

More migration of people from as far north as the Ilocos regions as well as from Central Luzon rapidly
increased Subic’s population. Many of these people become engaged in farming and fishing. With
population increasing, businesses were established to cater to the needs of the growing populace.
Many small and medium-scale businesses engaged in the trading of farm products flourished along the
national highway. Trading eventually developed as the dominant economic base of Subic up until now.
Calapandayan became the main port of entry from Subic Bay. Fishing and farming persisted as the
town’s main economic base. In terms of land utilization, agriculture and inland fisheries were the
dominant land uses despite the stronger pull of base-related work which attracted farmers and
fishermen. It was during this period that Subic’s forest cover was rapidly diminishing at an alarming
rate because of years of unregulated logging activities. Likewise, mangrove areas which dominated
Subic’s long coastline were diminishing as they were being cut down and used as firewood. It was also
during this period that squatting and the proliferation of informal settlements along the coastline or
waterways were becoming emerging development issues as government officials were being blamed
for tolerating such activities.

The ‘80s and ‘90s

1981 Actual Land Uses


The 1980s seemed to have ushered the concept of mixed-land uses in the form of a haphazard
commercial – residential strip development along the national highway. The proliferation of incompatible
land uses in the reclamation area in barangay Wawandue become especially controversial when a
cement bagging factory, Bacnotan Cement, became operational amidst a wet market, institutional
centers and residential areas.

In terms of land uses in Subic, data reveals that, in 1981, about 76% of its total land area was still
devoted to forest use while the military reservation covered a far 13% only. Agriculture and pasture
were spread out over 8% of Subic’s land area while a measly 2% was considered built-up. Table 21
shows the general land use in 1981.

In terms of land uses, 71% of the total urban land area of 81 hectares, encompassing barangays
Asinan Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile, Ilwas and Wawandue, was residential. On the other hand,
institutional uses covered only 16% while commercial land uses made up only 9%. Despite its
abundance within the urban area, open spaces comprised only 2% of the total land area. Table 23

1997 Actual Land Uses


Based on an accounting of actual land uses in 1997, forest use still predominated in Subic
encompassing 67% of its total land area. This however represents a 13% reduction in terms of land
area based on 1981 data, equivalent to about 2,687 hectares. This downward trend can also be
ascribed to inland fisheries which lost roughly 10% of its 1981 land area or about 26 hectares.
Nonetheless, areas devoted for inland fisheries covered only less than 1% during both periods. The
built-up area occupied about only 4%. Compared to 1981 data however, the built-up area gained about
441 hectares more, an increase of about 74% from 1981. Land devoted for agriculture and pasture
reflected the biggest increase in terms of land area at 5,753 hectares, a 265% jump from 1981 data.

2000 Actual Land Uses

Based on the land use accounting prepared in 2000, forest lands still remained the dominant land use.
Table 25 reveals current land use data based on GIS technology. Accordingly, Subic’s forest cover
makes up roughly about 75% of Subic’s total land area. Although as observed, a significant portion of
this valuable land category is, in fact, denuded. Those that are vegetated are mostly second growth
forests. Agricultural lands make up about 7%, a dramatic drop from 28%in 1997. The built-up area,
which is just about only 5% of the total land area, increased by 16% (162 hectares) from 1997.

In the urban area, which is composed of eight (8) barangays, forest land use make up roughly 64% of
the total land area. Residential usage is estimated at only 29% while commercial land uses comprise a
measly 3%. The total urban area is estimated at 701 hectares, much bigger compared to its size in

Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction

The Municipality of Subic, being part of Zambales and Central Luzon in general, is a disaster-prone
area. The province of Zambales where Subic belongs is subject to habitual typhoons and flooding. The
municipality was also one of the badly-hit areas affected by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991. Proof
of this is the presence of several pockets of rehabilitation sites for eruption victims within the Subic
Municipality. Most of the river systems are also heavily-silted and thus, need extensive dredging.

Atmosphere

Climate data from 2019-2021 have been gathered from the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA), which will serve as a primary dataset supporting
various local government’s applications related to climate change, disaster risk reduction and
management, agriculture and fisheries, environment and biodiversity, infrastructure and construction
projects, health and safety, and soil and land use.
General Climatic Type

Subic municipality falls under the Type I climate of the Modified Coronas Classification of Philippine
Climate (Figure 50). This climate type is characterized by two pronounced seasons; wet (or rainy) from
May to October and dry (or summer) from November to April. The geographic features of Subic, which
is characterized by rugged and mountainous topography, significantly influence the climatic condition in
this area.

meters above the ground (Villafuerte, et.al., 2021, p. 57).

The mean annual temperature for Subic does not vary much throughout the 3-year period, ranging from
24.00C to 32.20C, with 28.10C as the mean. The hottest temperature is experienced during the months
of April and May recorded at 35.30C for the 3-year average. The coldest months are January, February,
and December but February remains the coldest with an average 3-year temperature of 22.20C.
Temperature fluctuations do not significantly affect the crop being grown in the agricultural lands
provided that there is adequate soil moisture in the area. Hence, a year-round growing of crops is
possible.

Evapotranspiration (or loss of water) by crops has a negative correlation with relative humidity. During
periods of low humidity, evapotranspiration is high and therefore, a greater demand for water by crops
is expected during these growing seasons.

Wind
The presence of high mountain ranges shields Subic from the Northeast Monsoon and tradewinds. This
is clearly evidenced by the relatively minimal occurrence of waves and currents along most of the Subic
Bay waters. However, Subic is open to Southwest Monsoons and some cyclonic storms.
Approximately 20% of the typhoons visiting the Philippines strike Central Luzon while Subic’s exposure
to typhoons is about 16% (FAO, n.d.).

The Subic 20-year Return Period Severe Wind Hazard Map (Figure 58) represents the 3-second peak
gust wind speed measured at 10-meter height (above ground) over open and flat terrain only
(PAGASA, n.d.). The regional severe wind hazard generated for the tropical cyclones that passed
through the Philippine Area of Responsibility (PAR) are expressed in terms of return periods, which
shows the probability of any given magnitude that may occur in any given year. Hence, there is a 5%
chance that Subic may experience the wind speed of 117.1-220 kph (PAGASA, n.d.).

Hazards

Baseline maps used in hazard mapping

In 2016, Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) Regional Office III utilized the following baseline maps
in their hazard risk assessment and finally in the production of hazard maps for the Municipality of
Subic. The Barangay Map (Figure 59) showing the area or location of each barangay, which clearly
revealed that Batiawan, Cawag, and Naugsol are the three (3) largest barangays, while Asinan
Poblacion, Wawandue, and Ilwas are the three (3) smallest barangays.

Generally, settlements were established in most of the barangays, particularly in those barangays
located in the poblacion area or Central Business District, along national highway, and in the coastal
areas, as shown in the Built-up Areas Map (Figure 60).

Barangays Asinan Poblacion, Ilwas, Baraca-Camachile, and Wawandue – all located within and in
proximity to the Central Business District – represents a compact settlement pattern. This is also the
case with Matain, Calapacuan, and Calapandayan, being coastal barangays, wherein a considerable
portion of settlements were found near the coastal areas. Relatively, some portions of these
barangays, have dispersed settlements especially in those areas with high slopes. Pamatawan,
Aningway-Sacatihan, Asinan Proper, and Mangan-vaca mostly have settlements dispersed within the
different parts of the barangay, notable settlements are areas in proximity to the residential
subdivisions, barangay halls, churches, schools, community markets (talipapa), and other social and
economic facilities. The remaining barangays – all mountainous barangays – showed a little fraction of
settlements compare to its land areas especially in Batiawan.

Note: The built-up areas were digitized by the MGB R3 from the Google map and other open sources and re-projected
based on the projections of the NAMRIA.

In Figure 61, the most densely populated barangay is Matain (red-shaded), followed by Calapacuan,
Ilwas, and Baraca-Camachile (blue-shaded). Those barangays with moderate built-up density consist
of Aningway-Sacatihan, Asinan Proper, Mangan-vaca, Calapandayan, and Naugsol. Conversely,
Pamatawan, Wawandue, and San Isidro have low built-up densities, while Cawag, Sto. Tomas, and
Batiawan have the lowest.

In terms of population, Cawag and Calapacuan are mostly populated (red-shaded) while Batiawan is
the least populated barangay (gray-shaded) (Figure 62).

The municipality’s river system traverses in all barangays as shown in Figure 63.

Existing hazards

Earthquake-Induced Landslide
As mentioned earlier, more than half of Subic land area (70.69%) has been classified to have a slope
range greater than 18% (Figure 3). This information, therefore, indicates the susceptibility of Subic
lands to erosion and landslides, particularly portions of Cawag and Batiawan (Figure 65).

Ground Shaking
Ground shaking is a disruptive up, down and sideways vibration of the ground during an earthquake
(PHIVOLCS, n.d.). Generally, all barangays of Subic are prone to ground shaking caused by
earthquakes of different intensities. Approximately half of the area of Subic is prone to Intensity VIII
and above, while almost half will likewise experience Intensity VI to VII earthquakes.

Liquefaction
Liquefaction is a phenomenon wherein sediments, especially near bodies of water, behave like liquid
similar to a quicksand (PHIVOLCS, n.d.). Highly-susceptible barangays with 50% or more of the total
land area susceptible to liquefaction, are Ilwas, Asinan Poblacion, Wawandue, and Asinan Proper. On
the other hand, those barangays with less than 50% of the total land area with liquefaction susceptibility
include Cawag, Wawandue, Baraca-Camachile, and Calapandayan.

Tsunami
Tsunami is a series of waves caused commonly by an earthquake under the sea (PHIVOLCS, n.d.). All
coastlines of Subic are prone to tsunami with wave heights ranging from 1.21 meters along Wawandue,
Baraca-Camachile, and Calapandayan to as high as 3.5 meters along the southwestern portion of
Cawag.

Vulnerability and Risk Assessment (VRA)

Geological attributes

Subic’s geology is predominantly of Quaternary origin and therefore, characterized by relatively young
soils. Soils in the plain areas along Subic have originated from recent alluvium, while those in the
uplands, hills, and mountains have developed from andesite, basalt-andesite, and basalt-andesite-tuff
parent materials. Because of its relatively young status, Subic soils can offer high productivity especially
if managed properly. The geological formations of Subic municipality include: basalt, diabase dike
complex, dunite, gabbro, peridotite, quaternary alluvium, quaternary plug, quaternary pyroclastics, and
undifferentiated volcanics (Figure 70) (Municipality of Subic, 2001).

Figure 70: Geologic Map


Source: Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2001-2010, Socio-Economic and Physical Profile

Accordingly, Mines and Geosciences Bureau [MGB] (2016) describes Subic’s geology as follows: “the
western coastal plains are underlain by unconsolidated alluvial deposits composed mostly of sand, silt
and clay with minor gravel to boulder along with 1991 tephra (ashfall) Pinatubo deposits mostly silt, clay
and sand with minor pumice granules. Coastal finger ridges are underlain by gabbro/diabase and so
are the mountainous eastern areas with the addition of basalts. Andesitic volcanic plugs intrude the
rocks in the eastern areas which are sometimes overlain by volcanic flows and pyroclastic rocks
eastward towards Mt. Balakibok and municipal boundary with Floridablanca, Pampanga. The nearest
major geologic structure is the north-northwest trending Subic Bay Fault which occurs offshore through
Pequeno Island and may extend north-northwestwards towards Mt. Namapagan in Castillejos possibly
passing the coastal ridge in Sitio Cabangaan, Brgy. Cawag, Subic.”

The MGB likewise emphasized that Subic’s geomorphology is complex but for the purpose of VRA,
geomorphology is classified as follows:

Exposure Analysis for Flooding

Built-up Areas Exposed to Flooding

The total built-up area in 2015 was estimated to be around 13.22 square kilometres (1,322 hectares)
representing 5.18% of the total area of Subic. Out of the total built-up area, 23.47% (3.10 square
kilometres) have high to very high flood susceptibility, 14.93% (1.97 square kilometres) have moderate
flood susceptibility, and 30.33% have low flood susceptibility.
In Figure 73, Barangay Cawag, Sto. Tomas, and Mangan-vaca have the largest built-up areas at risk to
flooding with high to very high susceptibility, which are equivalent to 0.60, 0.55, and 0.54 square
kilometres, respectively. In terms of percentage of flood susceptibility per barangay, Ilwas has the
highest which accounts to 86.03% of its total built-up area, followed by Wawandue (60.91%) and
Asinan Poblacion (58.31%) (see also Figure 74).

The maps from Figure 74 to Figure 76 show an overview of the exposure of built-up areas of Subic to
flooding. The intensity of the color of each barangay reflects the percentage of the built-up areas
exposed to flooding – the greater the color intensity, the greater is the percentage of built-up areas
exposed to flooding. The MGB used its hazard data from the Detailed Landslide and Flood Hazard
Map of Subic (Figure 72).

The maps from Figure 78 to Figure 80 show an overview of the exposure of the residents of Subic to
flooding. The intensity of the color of each barangay reflects the percentage of the population exposed
to flooding – the greater the color intensity, the greater is the percentage of population exposed to
flooding.

In Figure 78, Mangan-vaca and San Isidro generated the highest percentage of population with high to
very high flood susceptibility of 5.96% and 4.37%, respectively, with reference to the 2015 population.
Similarly, these barangays recorded the largest number of people at risk to high to very high flooding
(within the range of 2,776-6,242).

In Figure 82, about 69.14% or 36.36 kilometers out of the total road length of 52.60 kilometers exposed
to high to very high flood, represent barangays with the largest road length within the 2.13-10.14
kilometers range, which is composed of Cawag (10.14 kilometers), Mangan-vaca (9.33 kilometers), Sto.
Tomas (9.27 kilometers), and San Isidro (7.62 kilometers). The remaining road length (30.86%)
equivalent to 16.23 kilometers was distributed to the remaining twelve (12) barangays.

With respect to the percentage of road length susceptible to high to very high flood per barangay, Ilwas
topped the rank with a rate of 97.28% of its total road length of 1.72 kilometers. Next to Ilwas were
Asinan Poblacion and San Isidro with rates of 64.54% and 56.30%, respectively.

Out of the 25.00 kilometers road with moderate susceptibility to flood, 49.66% or 12.42 kilometers
represent barangays with the largest road length within the range of 4.24-8.18 kilometers, which consist
of Cawag (8.18 kilometers) and Mangan-vaca (4.24 kilometers) (Table 32 and Figure 81). The
remaining 50.34% represents the total road length of the remaining fourteen (14) barangays.
Moreover, the percentage of Baraca-Camachile’s road length susceptible to moderate flood to its total
road length was recorded as the highest (85.12%) among the remaining fifteen (15) barangays, which
only represents 35.46% and below out of the total road length of each barangay (Table 32). With
regards to the percent risk per barangay to the total road length of Subic, Cawag (3.52%) and Mangan-
vaca (1.83%) are within the highest range of 1.84%-3.52% (Figure 83).

In Table 32, 59.95 kilometers road was recorded as susceptible to low flooding, wherein 26.63
kilometers (44.43%) represent the largest road length within the range of 7.33-19.31 kilometers (Figure
84). This is composed of Cawag (19.31 kilometers) and Pamatawan (7.32 kilometers). In terms of
percentage of roads per barangay susceptible to low flooding, Matain has recorded the largest road
length, which is equivalent to almost 80% of its total road length. Next to Matain are Calapacuan and
Pamatawan, which represent 69.08% and 59.59% of its total road length, respectively. On the other
hand, there was no recorded road with low flood susceptibility in Asinan Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile,
and Ilwas as the whole area of these barangays are more prone to high to very high and moderate
flooding.

Calapacuan and Cawag


recorded as having the largest
population with high to very high
landslide exposure in 2015 with
1,621 and 1,312 people at risk,
respectively (Table 34 and
Figure 89). Looking at the rate
of exposure of the population
per barangay, Calapacuan
residents are the most at risk to
high to very high landslide
(11.33%) followed by Batiawan
residents (9.62%), and
Wawandue residents (9.38%)
(Table 34). On the other hand,
Asinan Poblacion and Baraca-
Camachile has no recorded risk
to any level of landslide
susceptibility as these are
located in generally flat areas.

The maps from Figure 90 to Figure 92 show an overview of the exposure of the residents of Subic to
landslide. The intensity of the color of each barangay reflects the percentage of the population
exposed to landslide – the greater the color intensity, the greater is the percentage of population
exposed to landslide.

In Table 34, with reference to the 2015 population, Calapacuan and Cawag recorded the highest
percentage of population with high to very high flood susceptibility of 1.55% and 1.25%, respectively.
Similarly, these barangays recorded the largest number of people at risk to high to very high landslide
within the range of 554-1,621 (Figure 90, see also map legend). Asinan Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile,
Ilwas, and Matain have no recorded risk to high to very high landslide.

On the other hand, Cawag and Calapandayan has the highest rate of population with moderate
landslide susceptibility of 2.38% (2,492 people) and 1.41% (1,482 people), respectively. These
barangays recorded the largest number of people at risk to moderate landslide within the range of
1,878-2,492 (Figure 91, see also map legend). There is no recorded risk to moderate landslide in
Asinan Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile, and Ilwas.

Asinan Poblacion has the highest rate of population with low landslide susceptibility of 3.57% (3,736
people) with reference to the 2015 population (Table 34). It also recorded the largest number of people
at risk to high to very high landslide within the range of 2,567-3,736 (Figure 92, see also map legend).
There is no registered exposure to low landslide in Asinan Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile, and
Wawandue.

three-fourths (74.70% or 18.53
kilometers) of the total road
length of 24.80 kilometers,
classified as at risk to high to very
high landslide (see Figure 93),
and can be seen as within the
2.80-18.53 kilometers range
(Figure 94, see also map
legend). The remaining road
length equivalent to 6.27
kilometers (25.30%) was
distributed to the remaining nine
(9) barangays. There were no
roads with high to very high
landslide risks were recorded in
six (6) barangays (Asinan
Poblacion, Baraca-Camachile,
Ilwas, Matain, Pamatawan, and
Wawandue).

As regards with the percentage of road length susceptible to high to very high landslide per barangay,
Cawag topped the rank with a rate of 21.72% of its total road length of 85.31 kilometers. The rest of the
barangays’ are within the rate of 0.73%-16.23% of its total road lengths which are susceptible to high to
very high landslide.

Generally, Cawag’s total road length at risk to high to very high landslide remains as the highest
contributor to Subic’s susceptibility to this hazard with a rate of 7.98%, which is nearly three times the
combined rate of the remaining barangays (2.70%), as shown by the greatest color intensity in the map
in Figure 94 representing the percent risk of 1.21%-7.98% (see also map legend).

Again, Cawag was recorded as the highest in terms of the total road length at risk to moderate landslide
(6.16 kilometers), which represents almost one-third of the total road length of Subic susceptible to
moderate landslide (18.89 kilometers) (Figure 95). This translates to a percent risk of 2.65%
contributed by Cawag to Subic’s total road length with moderate landslide susceptibility (see also map
legend).

On the other hand, the rate of Naugsol’s total road length to Subic’s road length at risk to moderate
landslide was registered as the highest (19.12%), followed by Calapandayan (18.60%), and Batiawan
(18.00%) (Table 35).

Out of the eleven (11) barangays susceptible to low landslide, Cawag has the largest road length of
22.99 kilometers representing 9.90% of Subic’s total road length of 232.23 kilometers. With regards to
the percentage of barangays’ total road length at risk to low landslide to its total road length, Cawag
have the largest percentage equivalent to 50%, followed by Naugsol (37.21%), and Asinan Proper
(30.01%).

Chapter 3
Demographic Profile
This chapter presents the municipality’s population composition and distribution as of the latest and/or
previous census of population (POPCEN) conducted by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
Population composition and distribution are sometimes both presented as the population and
household population. Population or the total population includes the institutional population, which is
why it is greater than the household population.

Population Composition

Population by Age Group and Gender

Subic has a population of 111,912 in 2020 – a 6.38 % increase from the 2015 population of 104,771,
although there were three (3) age groups that reflect a decline in population – 0-4 years old, 20-24
years old, and 25-29 years old with an aggregate decline of 2,072 individuals.

Population by School-age, Working-age, Voting Age, and Dependent Age Group by Gender

Out of the total population, more than 40% is composed of the school going population, almost two-
thirds belong to the working age group, nearly 70% are in the labor force, two-thirds are in the voting
age, and more than a third of the population are dependents (Table 38).

Looking at the participation rate of age groups in the school going population, those who belong to the
secondary age group comprised the largest share (35%) while those who belong to the tertiary age
group accounted as the smallest (18%). The table below also shows that, generally, there were more
males than females, as indicated by the sex ratios of higher than 100. However, the old dependent
population was dominated by females as represented by its sex ratio of lower than 100.

Also in 2015, urban population make up 92.07% of the total population and the remaining 7.93%
comprised the rural population. Of the sixteen (16) barangays, only three (3) belongs to rural:
Batiawan, Naugsol, and Pamatawan. These rural barangays, although transportation lines are present,
there are still areas which cannot easily be accessed particularly areas with rolling to very steep slopes.

With regards to the average household size, Matain has the largest (4.44), followed by Batiawan (4.35),
and Calapacuan (4.33). Urban barangays’ average household size (4.15) is higher by 0.03 points than
rural barangays (4.12), but the overall average household size remains at 4.15.

Urbanization Level

For the past 25 years, Subic has reached an urbanization level of 91.4 in 2020 – 31 points higher than
the 1995 urbanization level of 60.4. Censal years 2000, 2007 and 2015 reflected negative figures in
the average annual population growth rate of rural population, which denotes a continuously decreasing
rural population and a high level of urbanization. The tempo of urbanization was recorded at 10.84% in
2000, while it slowed down to 8% in 2007 and reached its momentum in 2010 and 2015, with 10.18%
and 12.06% urbanization rates, respectively.

include Ilwas and Calapacuan, which ranges from around 19,000 to
24,000 persons per square kilometer. In contrast, Batiawan and
Cawag have the lowest built-up density of less than 3,000 persons per square kilometer. This could be
attributed to the mountainous character of these barangays with large areas of high to very high slopes.

There were noted instances that the built-up area is larger than the land area, particularly in Sto. Tomas
and Wawandue (Table 42). This could be possible since the built-up area was computed based on the
total floor area of the structures in the barangays. Sto. Tomas has a built-up area of 1.17 square
kilometres while it only has an area of 0.83 square kilometer. Sto. Tomas, which served as an entry
from the south to the Municipality of Subic, highlights a considerable number of commercial
establishments and residential subdivisions in addition to the established residences and institutional
facilities. Similarly, Wawandue has a built-up area of 0.27 square kilometer while it only has a land
area of 0.19 square kilometer. This could be linked to its proximity to the public market and having

schools (Kolehiyo ng Subic and JFK-SPED), recreational facility (Subic Sports Complex), and fishport
along with the residential structures lined up in all parts of the barangay road, which also filled most of
the areas in both the lowland and coastal parts of the barangay.

Historical Growth of Population

Subic population grew from 3,955 in 1903 to 111,912 in 2020, an increase of 107,957 individuals over
the period of 117 years. An abrupt decrease in population was experienced in 1960, primarily because
of the creation of the then Municipality of Olongapo and was previously part of the Municipality of Subic,
which resulted to a decline of almost 50% of the 1948 population of 25,223 to the 1960 population of
12,985. But with reference to the 1960 population, Subic has a population increase of 98,927 in 2020.

Looking at the population growth rates (PGR) of Subic from 1970 to 2020, it was in 2010 when Subic
recorded the highest PGR of 5.67% at an increase of 2.85%, a figure slightly higher than the 2007 PGR
of 2.82%. Similarly, on that same year, Zambales recorded a 2.98% PGR, 1.19 points higher than the
2007 PGR of 1.79%. Although Subic and Zambales experienced an increased PGR in 2010, Central
Luzon and Philippines had a recorded PGR of 1.58% (a decline of 0.77 points from 2007 PGR) and
1.55 (a decline of 0.49 points from 2007 PGR), respectively.

Age-Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR)

Looking at the fertility pattern of age groups of women for the past five years, the graph in Figure 111
showed that fertility peaked at the 25-29 years old group except in 2020 where fertility was at its highest
in the 20-24 years old group. Furthermore, fertility pattern of 20-24 years old group was constantly
higher than the 30-34 years old
group except in 2022 where
fertility of 30-34 years old group Age Specific Fertility Rate (ASFR) is the average number of
was slightly higher than the 20-24 children that would be born alive to a woman (or group of women)
during her lifetime if she were to pass through her childbearing
years old group. On the other years conforming to the age specific fertility rates of a given time
hand, lower levels of fertility were period
noticed in the remaining age - Philippine Statistics Authority -

years old group. In general,
fertility showed a continuous
decline at 35-39 and 40-44
years old groups.

Marriage patterns and marital


fertility are some factors that
could affect ASFR.
Postponement of marriage
could be another factor, as
shown by the declining fertility
of the 15-19 years old group.

From the 4.98 infant mortality rate (IMR) or 5


infant deaths per 1,000 population in 2018, it has
recorded a sudden increase at 10.52 in 2019.
The IMR dropped at 3.04 in 2020, which made it
slightly lower than the 2018 IMR and maintained
a gradually diminishing trend from 3 infant
deaths per 1,000 population in 2020 and 2021 to
only 1 infant death per 1,000 population in 2022.

The above trend was highly contributed by the public schools data as depicted in Figure 127.

Figure 127: Enrollment in Public Schools (2018-2023)

In contrast, enrollment in private schools recorded a diminishing trend in both elementary and
secondary enrollments (except secondary enrollment in SY 2022-2023, which includes data of all
private high schools) (Figure 128). However, secondary school data in the first four (4) school years
were not conclusive as it only represents data from St. Anthony School of Matain, Inc.

Education Performance Indicators

Education performance indicators are important parameters in evaluating the educational performance
in different levels of the education system to monitor the effectiveness and efficiency in the delivery of
education services, to identify issues and concerns in attaining the education standards (DepEd-PS-
EMISD, 2022). In accordance with the Basic Education Development Plan (BEDP) 2030 of the
Department of Education, a guideline in computing education performance indicators has been
developed, which are categorized as Access Indicators, Efficiency Indicators, and Ratio and Proportion.
However, due to unavailability of the required data, only basic indicators (enrollment rate, graduation
rate and dropout rate) are presented using the projected school age population below.

Mortality

Top Leading Causes of Mortality


The municipality’s average number of death by cause of death for the past 5 years revealed that acute
myocardial infarction topped the list with an average number of 22 cases. More so, an average of 13
cases was recorded who have died from pulmonary tuberculosis and 12 from hypertensive heart
diseases. It has been noted that the cumulative averages of malignant neoplasm and malignant
melanoma (commonly known as cancer) totaled to 24 cases, which is a little higher than the number of
acute myocardial infarction cases. (Figure 129)

From 2018-2022, pulmonary tuberculosis was constantly placed within the top 3 leading causes of
mortality with 24 cases or 6.7%% of the total deaths in Subic in 2018 down to 6 cases or 1.8% of the
municipality’s total deaths in 2022. Similarly, the hypertensive heart disease was registered with 26
cases in 2018 (7.3%) and has declined to 4 cases (1.2%) in 2022. On the contrary, acute myocardial
infarction, although there was no registered case in 2018, showed an increasing trend from 10 cases
(2.9%) in 2019 to 34 cases (10.2%) in 2022. (Table 80 and Figure 122)

Infant and Child Mortality


Infant deaths peak in 2019 with 10 deaths out of 951 total live births, which resulted to a 10.52 mortality
rate while the lowest was in 2022 with only 1 death out of 830 total live births representing 1.20
mortality rate (Table 82). These figures translate to 11 infant deaths per 1,000 population in 2019 and
1 infant death per 1,000 population in 2022, which met the National Objectives for Health (NOH) 2015-

2022 target of 15 per 1,000 live births for Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) (Department of Health, 2018,
p.125).
Young child deaths in 2019 likewise generated the highest mortality rate of 2.39 (2 young child deaths
per 1,000 population) compare with the 2022 mortality rate of 0.53 (1 young child death per 1,000
population). However, these figures clearly indicate that Subic successfully met the Millennium
Development Goal (MDG) and NOH 2011-2016 targets of 25.5 deaths per 1,000 live births (Department
of Health, 2018, p.44).

For the past five (5) years, malnourished children are composed of around 21.41% to 30.35% of the
children

total number of preschoolers. Stunting, which is defined as “being small in size for their age”, has
become the sole indicator of malnutrition used worldwide (Mbuya, et.al., 2021, p. 4). The percentage of
stunting in Subic has been gradually increasing from 11.56% in 2019 to 14.93% in 2022. But because
of the Municipality’s efforts to improve the nutritional status of children, the percentage of stunting was
reduced by 5% from the 2022 rate of 14.93% to a rate of 9.93% in 2023. The 2019 rate of stunting
(11.56%) is much lower than the national rate (28.8%) and the regional rate (23.1%) (Mbuya, et.al.,
2021, p. 6).

On the other hand, underweight children or those “below the expected weight for their age” were
recorded at its peak (6.91%) in 2019 but reduced to 4.39% in 2023. The 2019 rate of underweight
(4.39%) is considerably lower as against the national data (19%). Similarly, wasting children or those
who are “being underweight for their height” showed a slightly diminishing trend from 3.65% in 2020 to
2.71% in 2023. The 2019 rate of wasting (2.71%) in Subic is lower by more than half of the national
rate of 5.8% (Mbuya, et.al., 2021, p.4).

Access to Sanitary Toilet Facility

The country’s progress to eliminate open defecation and achieve universal access to basic sanitation
by 2030 was rated as too slow, which generally needs “a five-fold increase in municipal annual targets
to end open defecation by 2025” (UNICEF, 2021). The importance of a toilet facility in every home is
being promoted by the World Health Organization (WHO) to improve the sanitation status of the whole
country. Unsanitary conditions contribute to the outbreak of diarrheal diseases especially among
children and exacerbate malnutrition.

Solid Waste Management

CBMS 2017-2018 data revealed that wastes from the majority of the households (75.96%) were
collected, while a slightly more than half of it (38.05%) were burned (Table 88). Diverted wastes or
those that have been composted and recycled account to 2.03% and 2.39%, respectively. An
aggregate rate of 5.27% of wastes were either dumped to open or closed pit or thrown in the river.
Segregated wastes account to only 3.32% of the total generated waste (Figure 136).

With reference to the Waste Assessment and Characterization Study (WACS) conducted in 2015,
Subic has daily per capita generation of 0.86 kg. This resulted to the current municipality’s waste
generation of about 110,110 kilograms or 110 tons per day, which translates to around 40,000 tons per
year (Solid Waste Management Plan 2024-2033).

Since the sanitary landfill facility (SLF) will only be constructed in 2029 and the start of its operation is in
2030, the projection of the waste disposal will cover 2030-2039. Assuming a waste diversion rate of
50% is implemented, the total waste generation after diversion is equivalent to around 26,000-33,000
tons per year for 2030-2039. This volume of waste requires about 15.3 hectares of land for a sanitary
landfill facility with a height of 10 meters and with 10 years residence time. The land area also includes
areas for open space and administration building.

To lengthen the lifespan of the sanitary landfill, as well as to minimize the overall cost related to solid
waste management, Subiqueños are encouraged to segregate their waste at source and divert into a
more practical and functional uses those wastes that can be composted or recycled.

Housing

Existing Housing Situation

An increasing trend in the number of occupied housing units were observed from 16,843 housing units
in 2007 to 29,712 housing units in 2020, which translates to a 43.31% rate of increase within the past
thirteen (13) years or an average of 3.32% annual increase. More so, there is an average ratio of 1
household per housing unit for the past four (4) censal years, and an average ratio of 4.25 household
population per occupied housing unit.

of increase in the number of occupied housing units, 2010 and 2015 showed a slight increasing trend
and dropped from 20.00% in 2015 to 16.67% in 2020.

Figure 139: Ratio of Households and Household Population to Occupied Housing Units for the Past Four Censal Years

In Table 91, about 76% of the total housing units in 2015 are owned or being amortized while 26% are
rented. On the other hand, non-owner households are composed of 13% who were occupying a
housing unit for free with consent of the owner while 0.25% were occupying a housing unit for free
without consent of the owner.

There is a slight increase in the percentage of owner households from 73.17% in 2010 to 75.91% in
2015. Renter households also increased from 16.81% in 2010 to 25.78% in 2015, which could be
attributed to a decreasing trend of households occupying housing units for free without consent of the
owner.

Resettlement Areas

Cawag Resettlement was originally established to provide shelter and rehabilitation services to victims
of the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in 1991 (Municipality of Subic, 2001). The site can accommodate a
maximum of 600 families. In 1999, there were a total of 283 families in the area, or a total population
count of 4,289. Two other resettlement sites were established, the Gala Resettlement in Aningway-
Sacatihan and Mangan-vaca Resettlement in Mangan-vaca (Municipality of Subic, 2001).

Housing Facilities

Housing facilities for the past two censal years (2010 and 2015) are presented in Table 94. However,
there was no data on water-sealed toilets and garbage collection system in 2015. Hence, comparison
of 2010 data with 2018 data based on the Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) 2017-2018 is
made in this section.

A decline in the percentages of households served by water supply, electricity, and water-sealed toilets
were observed from 2010 to 2018 while households served by garbage collection system attained an
increase of 11% from 2010 to 2018.

Current and Projected Needs

If the 2015 housing backlog of 4,233 is evenly distributed for the period 2023-2034, there are 353
housing units that need to be addressed annually. However, in addressing the future housing needs,
the annual increase in the number of households and the number of doubled-up households need to be
considered.

and a Rural Health Unit provide the necessary public services to the community. Other services include
counselling services, food for work, cash for work, supplemental feeding, self-employment assistance
and referrals for social services.

The Aetas are acknowledged to be one of the earliest settlers in the municipality. Historically, as
lowlanders came to Subic, Aetas were displaced and were forced to flee to the hinterlands. While a
number of Aetas have managed to be integrated within the mainstream of development activities in the
municipality, many have remained deprived of public services such as health, social welfare and basic
education. Aeta families are scattered in some barangays in Subic, such as Batiawan and Naugsol.

Current and Projected Requirement

The current policeman to population ratio is 1 policeman per 4,738 population, which does not meet the
minimum requirement of 1 policeman per 1,000 population. The current number of policemen is not
sufficient in handling the current estimated population of Subic and there is a current need of 105 more
policemen to efficiently carry on their services to Subic constituents.

Likewise, the fireman to population ratio is 1 fireman per 7,370 population, which is still short of the
minimum requirement of 1 fireman per 2,000 population.

Sports and Recreations

Sports and Recreation Facilities

Each of the sixteen (16) barangays in Subic has at least one (1) basketball court which provides for the
recreational needs of the residents. The Subic Sports Complex, which was established in 2022, aims
to provide a perfect venue for sports and recreational facilities to the public. The Subic Wellness Park,
a DPWH-funded project, which is currently under construction and located in Wawandue, will serve as
a family wellness park that is accessible to the public.

Current and Projected Needs

The minimum standard for a municipal park is 500 square meters per 1,000 population. Subic Park has
an area of around 9,000 square meters, which would only serve around 18,000 population. Following
the minimum standard for municipal park, presented in Table 103 are the area requirements for
municipal park.

Strategic Agriculture and Fishery Development Zones (SAFDZs)

The Republic Act No. 8435 or the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) mandates the
LGUs to delineate within their locality Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zones or
SAFDZs. These SAFDZs are intended for agriculture and agri-industrial development and are
designated for production, agro-processing and marketing purposes to help develop and modernize,
with LGU support, the agriculture and fisheries sectors in an environmentally and socio-culturally sound
manner. In this connection, the Sangguniang Bayan of Subic passed Resolution No. 90 on August 19,
1999 strongly adopting the SAFDZ Map of Subic in pursuance with RA 8435. Based on the approved
classifications adopted, the SAFDZ encompasses 26.80% of the total land area of Subic.
Comparatively, the built-up area is only about 10.12%, while the watershed area comprises 18.19%.

Forestry
Forestlands

Data on forestlands are discussed in page 15. However, there is a need for further coordination with
CENRO-Olongapo regarding the current data on forestry as there are forest activities being practiced
by the beneficiaries of forest tenurial agreements, particularly in Naugsol and Batiawan.

Commerce and Trade

Business Establishments

Strip commercial development is evident in the locality with the presence of commercial establishments
along the National Road and the major and secondary arterial transportation network. The public
market could be considered the influencing factor in the concentration of commercial activities within its
periphery. Other commercial activities concentrate in the southern portion of the Municipality, mainly
due to the presence of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA). The service sector could be
considered a growing sector with canteens, bars, nightclubs and other service establishments such as
motor repair shops, barbershops, and beauty parlors proliferating in the area (Nanusci).

Establishments inside and near the public market are mostly engaged in wholesale and retail activities,
establishments along the national highway, on the other hand, are mostly service-oriented, while there
are a few establishments that are engaged in banking and finance activities.

Presented in Table 111 are the number
of establishments and employment per
economic activities in Central Luzon and
Subic. Subic data was computed based
on the Central Luzon available data in
2018 and 2021.

A considerable increase of around 46% in the number of establishments in Subic was observed in the
wholesale and retail trade, repair of motor vehicles and motorcycle from 396 establishments in 2018 to
735 establishments in 2021. This phenomenon has a parallel effect in the number of employment
generated by this economic activity from 13,619 in 2018 to 25,543 in 2021, which represents a 47%
increase. The number of manufacturing establishments has also increased from 127 to 192, and the
accommodation and food service establishments from 170 to 182.

Similarly, a constant increase in the number of establishments and employment were also observed in
transportation and storage (3 in establishments and 338 in employment); human health and social work
(2 in establishments and 446 in employment); arts, entertainment, and recreation (1 in establishment
and 209 in employment); and information and communication (3 in establishment and 48 in
employment). Although the number of establishments in real estate activities and mining and quarrying

166
remained the same, these economic activities recorded an increase of 719 and 13 employments,
respectively.

Meanwhile, a sudden decrease in the number of establishments was noted in financial and insurance
activities from 135 in 2018 to 61 in 2021, which is equivalent to a decline of 122%. In terms of
employment, the administrative and support service activities registered the largest decline of 43%, a
decrease of 2,639 employments from 8,842 in 2018 to 6,203 in 2021. The economic activities that
suffered both a decline in the number of establishments and employment include those that engaged in
education (-42 in establishments and -2008 in employment); construction (-3 in establishments and
-586 in employment); and water supply, sewerage, waste management and remediation (-4 in
establishments and -3 in employment).

The town’s revenue on business and trade were identified based on the PSA’s Central Luzon data
captured from the 2018 Census of Philippine Business and Industry. Out of the Subic revenue from
businesses (Business Tax) in 2018 of about Php27.4M, the highest revenue was collected from
manufacturing establishments comprising around 40% or almost Php11.3M and from the wholesale and
retail trade, and repair of motor vehicles and motorcycles amounting to Php8.6M or about 32% of the
total business tax. These figures were supported by the fact that these types of businesses have the
highest recorded number of employment in 2018. Conversely, although the number of employment in
electricity, gas, steam and air conditioning supply has declined, it ranked third in terms of the revenue it
generated (Php1.7M).

Current and Future Requirements

Urban Road Requirements

In 2023, following the standard road to population ratio of 2.4 kilometers per 1,000 population and
considering the current urban road length of 44.1 kilometers, Subic would need additional 262
kilometers of urban road for the projected urban population of 127,580.

Rural Road Requirements

The standard road to area ratio for rural road is 1.5 kilometers per 100 hectares of agricultural land.
Subic would need additional 2.4 kilometers of rural road considering its arable land of 2,994 hectares
and the existing rural road length of 42.5 kilometers.

Water

Access to Safe Water

There are still 13.49% of households that has no access to safe water, according to the latest
Community Based Monitoring System (CBMS) census in 2017-2018. In 2023, converting this rate
would translate to 4,314 households out of the 31,978 total households that has no access to safe
water. Cawag has the largest share of nearly 50%, followed by 40% in Batiawan, and 25% in
Calapacuan. In terms of the number of households with no access to safe water, Cawag and
Calapacuan recorded the highest with 2,440 and 1,029 households, respectively.

On the other hand, there are six (6) national government agencies (NGAs) operating in the Municipality,
namely: Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR), Commission on Election
(COMELEC), Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), Philippine National Police (PNP),
and Philippine Post Office.

Planning Mandates and Structure

RA 7160 mandates LGUs to prepare a comprehensive land use plan (CLUP) (Sec. 20) translated into a
zoning ordinance by the Sangguniang Bayan (Sec. 458). It likewise mandates LGUs to prepare
comprehensive multi-sectoral development plans and public investment programs (Sec. 106 and 109).
These plans influence public and private sector investments, which could provide an improved quality of
goods and services to Subiqeños, thereby making them achieve an improved level of well-being.

For the Municipality to efficiently perform its planning mandate, its dual role – as a political unit and as a
corporate body – needs to be strengthened to become an NGA’s partner in the attainment of national
goals and to be able to promote the general welfare (RA 7160, Sec. 16) of Subiqeños, respectively.
The Municipality’s planning structure is summarized in the table below and further discussed in the
remaining part of this section.

support functions as may be necessary.

At present, the MPDO consists of five (5) personnel – two (2) permanent employees, one (1) casual,
and three (3) job orders. Given the active participation of sectoral committees in the planning process,
the Municipality still aspires to improve the MPDO organizational structure to efficiently perform its
functions and be responsive to the varied tasks assigned to it, through the reorganization of the MPDO
into a full-blown organizational structure (RPS, 2008, pp. 13 & 15), which features the following:
 A deputy coordinator who will be in charge in the coordination of the three (3) functional
divisions
 Two (2) staff support services
o Administrative support staff to provide secretariat services to the MPDO and the MDC
o Public information staff to educate the public on sectoral issues and concepts to

Human Resources

The Civil Service Commission recognizes the role of human capital as the Municipality’s most important
asset. Relatively, Human Resource Management Practitioners (HRMP) are tasked to recruit and
develop these workforces into high-performing and efficient civil servants as the driving force in the
achievement of the Municipality’s goals. This section highlights the trends in the Municipality’s
workforce.

Plantilla and Vacancies

For the three (3) consecutive terms of administration, the total number of plantilla positions ranges from
140 to 244, wherein the current administration reflects the highest number of plantilla positions of 244.
On the other hand, the number of vacancies, which ranges from 29 to 110 for the 3-term periods
revealed that the least and the most ideal percentage of vacancies is within the 2013-2015 term with an
average of 25%.

The Municipality’s average number of vacancies in the current administration comprises almost 50% of
the average total plantilla positions and it is pursuing to fill these up in consonance with the CSC’s drive
to fill up these vacancies before hiring contract of service (COS) and job order (JO) workers.

NGA-Mandated Plans

In order to efficiently perform the functions devolved to the LGU, the Municipality has formulated some
of the National Government Agencies mandated plans that are linked to the province’s and/or regional
development goals, to wit:
 Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2014-2024
 Comprehensive Development Plan 2019-2024
 Gender and Development Plan 2022
 Solid Waste Management Plan 2024-2033
 Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan 2022-2024
 Forest Land Use Plan 2021-2025

Public Financial Management

The assessment on the proper and efficient use of public funds needs to be regularly conducted by the
Municipality to support the delivery of basic services to Subiqeños. It aims to analyse the three (3)
critical areas of public financial management: generating revenues, allocating resources, and
managing expenditures. The criteria used in analyzing the results were based on the Enhanced Public
Financial Management Assessment Tool for Local Government Units (e-PFMAT for LGUs).

Revenue Generation

The Municipality’s income came from the two major groups of revenues, the Tax Revenue and the
General Income. Tax Revenue is composed of the local taxes collected from various sources including
fines and penalties. It also includes Shares from National Taxes (IRA, EVAT, and Eco Zone) while the
General Income consists of these income sub-groups: Service Income, Business Income, and Other
Income (COA, 2018, p.23).

The average local sources from 2018-2022 represents Php80M or 18.25% of the total revenues while
external sources amount to Php360M or 81.75%. This shows that the Municipality is highly dependent
on the external sources, particularly the National Tax Allotment (NTA) or the formerly Internal Revenue
Allotment (IRA), which represents 67.37% of the total revenue. (Table 143 and Table 144)

The total revenue ranging from Php352M in 2018 to Php593M in 2022 have been increasing for the
past five years, except in 2021 which slightly lowered the revenue by Php2M or 0.50%. The 2018
revenue rose by 68.69% in 2022, which generated an average annual increase of 13.74%. This
indicates that the Municipality’s local revenue is improving although it only represents less than one-fifth
of the total revenue. (Figure 180)

Figure 180: Total Revenue, 2018-2022

Revenue from local sources has increased from Php69M in 2018 to Php115M in 2022, a total increase
of 67.68% for the five-year period or an average annual increase of 13.54%. There was a slight
downward trend in the 2019 to 2021 local revenues of around Php6M-Php8M primarily due to the
economic downturn brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, but it managed to regain previous
revenue levels and it reached Php115M by 2022 – an increase of 39.24% against the 2021 revenue
and the highest recorded level of increase for the past five years. (Figure 181)

For the period 2018-2022, taxes on Goods and Services have the largest average share of roughly
Php33M (40.84%) out of the Php80M total revenues from local sources, which consists of entirely
business tax. Service Income amounting to around Php17M ranked second with an average share of
21.33% followed by Property Taxes equivalent to Php15M (18.78%) and Business Income amounting
to Php14M (17.66%). On the other hand, those revenues with the lowest average share of the total
revenues from local sources are Community Tax (1.03%) and Other Income (0.36%). (Figure 182)

Resource Allocation

Multi-year fiscal planning and budgeting

The CLUP 2014-2024, a long-term plan for the built environment and land use change, serves as the
main reference in the overall planning and budgeting process of the Municipality. The programs and
projects identified in the CLUP were translated into programs, projects and activities (PPAs) in the
medium-term Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) 2019-2024. This ensures that PPAs to be
implemented are in consonance with the preferred urban form for Subiqeños.

The PPAs in the CDP were translated into a 3-year Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) and
Annual Investment Program (AIP), a public investment programming which links the plan to the

municipal budget (DILG, 2008, p.161). In choosing which programs and projects are to be included in
the LDIP/AIP, the Municipality endeavour to adhere to the following principles (DILG, 2008, p.162-163):

1. Put emphasis on asset-forming expenditures – It includes hard (infrastructure) and soft


(investment in people) projects;
2. Enhance the strategic nature of public investments – It must lead to improved public services,
influence private investments;
3. Strengthen the spatial basis of the investment program – It should support the realization of the
desired urban form in the CLUP;
4. Limit projects to those “owned” by the Municipality – It should only include those projects
wherein the LGU is solely or principally responsible, as enumerated in basic services devolved
to LGUs (Sec. 17, RA 7160);
5. Improve local fiscal management – It involves the adoption of other fiscal management
approaches in revenue generation and credit financing; and
6. Stress on participatory, consultative process – All sectors and areas of the Municipality should
be given the opportunity to be heard on all matters that affect their lives.
Annual Budget Preparation and Authorization Phases

All of the items of appropriation in the Appropriation Ordinance covering the Annual/Supplemental
Budgets were based on the approved AIP, which was enacted by the Sangguniang Bayan within the
specified period and approved by the Mayor prior to the start of the budget year. The Municipality also
follows the timely submission of the Appropriation Ordinance authorizing the Annual Budget to the
appropriate reviewing authority. For 2018-2020, the Municipality adheres to a fixed budget calendar for
budget and authorization phases as presented in Table 146.

Financial Self-reliance of MEEs

Municipal Economic Enterprises (MEEs) are income-generating establishments created for the
purpose of improving production and delivery of basic services, which includes income from Kolehiyo
Ng Subic (KNS), public market, slaughterhouse, and cemetery operations as well as fees collected for
garbage and hospital and rent and interest income. For the period 2018-2022, the average total
income generated by the MEEs amounting to around Php14M nearly covered half of its Php30M total
financial requirements. However, MEEs generated the highest income in 2022 where it was able to
cover almost 90% of its total financial requirements. This means that MEEs should exert their best
efforts in terms of income generation through various strategies such as regular collection of rentals
and imposing penalties for late payments.

Expenditures by Category/Expense Class

Analysing the expenditure of the Municipality according to the expenditure category/expense class for
the 5-year period, the highest amount was expended on Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses
(MOOE), which is equivalent to Php270M to Php399M, and accounts to 55%-67% of the total
expenditure. MOOE are those expenses which are used to support the operations of the Municipality
such as expenses for supplies and materials, transportation and travel, utilities, and the repairs, etc.
(DBM).

The five-year expenditure for Personal Services (PS) range from around Php74M to Php112M,
between 17% to 21% of the total expenditure, which is within the allowable spending limit of 45% of the
total expenditure. And lastly, around Php34M to Php105M or 7% to 22% of the total expenditure was
utilized for the Capital Outlay/Capital Expenditures (CapEx), which are expenditures for the purchase of
goods and services, the benefits of which extend beyond the fiscal year and which add to the assets of
the Municipality (DBM).

Figure 184: Expenditure by Category/Expense Class, 2018-2022

The highest expenditure by category/expense class for 2018-2022 was computed at Php313M or
almost three-fourths of the total average expenditure and was expended on Maintenance and
Operating Expenses (MOOE), while the remaining portion were spent on Personnel Services (Php93M)
and Capital Outlay (Php64M) (Figure 185).

Figure 185: Average Expenditure by Category/Expense Class, 2018-2022

Expenditures by Function
Another way to analyse the municipal expenditures is in consonance with the Classification of
Functions of Government (COFOG), wherein expenditures are classified according to the function or
socio-economic objective that the Municipality aims to achieve (DBM, n.d.). COFOG is an international
standard, which allows international comparison of expenditures categorized into ten (10) sectors, as
follows:

1. General Public Services – for general administration such as lawmaking, fiscal management,
foreign affairs, public debt transactions, and other governance or regulatory services, among
others.
2. Defense – for military defense, civil defense, foreign military aid, research and development for
defense, and defense against cybercrimes, among others.
3. Public Order and Safety – for police services, law courts, fire protection services, and
maintenance of prisons, among others.

Page invalid without the seal of En.P. PRC No. 450, Republic Act No. 10587 Section 5.(d) expert witness.
221
4. Economic Affairs – for general economic, commercial, and labor affairs; agriculture, forestry,
fishing, and hunting; fuel and energy; mining, manufacturing, and construction; transport; and
communication, among others.
5. Environmental Protection – for waste management, pollution abatement, biodiversity and
landscape protection, waste water management, research and development on environmental
protection, and other environment protection endeavours.
6. Housing and Community Amenities – Expenditures to support the housing needs, including
of the poor and those in disaster-prone areas. This sector likewise provides for another basic
human need — potable water supply.
7. Health – for hospital services, public health services and health insurance of indigents, and
medical products and equipment, among others.
8. Recreation, Culture and Religion – Expenditures to ensure the preservation of Filipino
cultural heritage and respect for religious diversity, as well as the promotion of sports.
9. Education – for pre-primary and primary education, secondary and tertiary education, and
school buildings, among others.
10. Social Protection – for programs and projects that cater to the poor and the marginalized
sectors, senior citizens, persons with disabilities, and survivors affected by disasters, and those
in conflict-affected areas.

For the purpose of analyzing the Municipality’s expenditure by function, Figure 186, which is a
summary of Table 148 and Table 149, shows that the Municipality is using six (6) expenditure
categories. With reference to Table 148 and Table 149, the amount for Debt Service was included in
the General Public Services, DRRM expenditures was categorized as Public Order and Safety, while
Economic Affairs include Development Fund expenditure since most of the development projects are
related to agriculture (farm-to-market roads), transport (roads and bridges), and construction (other
public facilities).

The chart in Figure 186 revealed that for the past five years, around Php312M or almost two-thirds of
the total expenditures were spent for the General Public Services. The Economic Affairs was computed
at a rate of 18% share of expenditure amounting to Php91M, while the remaining 19% were distributed
to Health at Php46M (9%), Public Order and Safety at Php23M (5%), Education at Php12M (2%),
Social Protection at Php8M (2%), and Others at Php6M (1%).

It is to be noted also that there should have been a recorded amount for the Environmental Protection
Sector, as the Municipality has spent tipping fee for solid waste collection. Another thing to be
considered by the Municipality is that the Development Fund and Others should have also been
categorized as social, economic, or environmental development projects.
National Fund Utilization

The Municipality benefits from the national funds to supplement the implementation of various
development and disaster risk reduction and management projects.

Relative to the above, the 20% DF was not optimally utilized in financing the Municipality’s priority
development projects, as evidenced by the percentage of utilization ranging from 33% to 98% for the
period 2018 to 2022 (Figure 188) with an average percentage of utilization computed at 69.93%. In
response to that, the Municipality is doing its best on the adequate planning and close monitoring of the
projects to ensure its effective and efficient implementation. Likewise, adherence to the following shall
be observed in the appropriation and utilization of the 20% DF (DBM-DOF-DILG, 2020):

1. The 20% DF shall be utilized to finance the LGU’s priority development projects, which should
be harmonized with the Regional Development Plan and the Philippine Development Plan;

2. The development projects that may be included shall be those that are necessary, appropriate,
or incidental to efficient and effective local governance, and those which are essential to the
promotion of the general welfare of the people;

3. The LGUs shall ensure that the development projects to be funded are well-planned and
procurement-and-implementation-ready.

There was a total of thirty-two (32) proposed development projects for 2022, twenty-eight (28) for social
development and seven (7) for economic development. The projects were mostly for the
construction/improvement/repair of roads and drainage, which accounts to nearly 69% of the total
number of projects. The remaining portion was utilized for construction/improvement of facilities such
as multi-purpose hall, public market, slaughterhouse, and Kolehiyo ng Subic.
LDRRM Fund
Section 21 of the Republic Act No. 10121 provides that the LGU shall appropriate LDRRMF amounting
to not less than five percent (5%) of the estimated revenue from regular sources to support DRRM
activities. The LDRRMF is composed of a thirty percent (30%) lump-sum allocation for Quick
Response Fund (QRF) upon declaration by the Sangguniang Bayan that the LGU is in a state of
calamity, and the seventy percent (70%) allocation for disaster prevention and mitigation,
preparedness, response, rehabilitation and recovery (NDRRMC-DBM-DILG, 2013).

The 70% Mitigation Funds


for 2018-2022 were utilized
for programs, projects and
activities such as those
related to (a) Covid-19-
and Dengue; (b) MDRRM
vehicles, equipment and
medical supplies; (c)
insurance of personnel;
and (d) relief goods.

Figure 188: 70% DRRM Fund


Utilization, 2018-2022

The average utilization rate of DRRM Fund was computed at 76%. It is the Municipality’s goal that the
70% DRRM Fund could be optimally utilized annually not just to ensure that Subiqueños are well
prepared before, during and after a disaster but also to minimize the socio-economic and environmental
impacts of disasters and climate change.

The Sangguniang Bayan, as the legislative body of the Municipality, has the authority to make policies
and rules in the form of ordinances and resolutions that promote the development and general welfare

In 2020, there were 98 resolutions and ordinances enacted by the Sangguniang Bayan, the greatest
number of the total resolutions and ordinances enacted for the past three years. On the other hand, the
sector with the highest average of the total resolutions and ordinances enacted is the institutional sector
(41), followed by the social sector (24) wherein 9 are relating to education sub-sector, 7 to health sub-
sector, 3 to social welfare and development sub-sector, 3 to public order and safety sub-sector, and 1
to sports and recreation sub-sector. (Table 153)

To ensure that the Sangguniang Bayan perform its mandate to approve ordinances and pass
resolutions necessary for the efficient and effective municipal government, it should also focus in
formulating policies, rules and regulations relating to the environment and special areas such as green
growth, urban design and development, heritage conservation, and ancestral domain.

LGU-CSO-Private Sector Linkages

Good governance does not solely depend on developing the internal capacity of the Municipality. With
regards to that and in adherence to the provision of RA 7160 to promote the establishment and
operation of people’s organizations, non-governmental organizations (both generally termed as civil
society organizations [CSOs]), and the private sector, the Municipality is constantly strengthening its
partnership with them. This partnership enables and empowers the citizens to actively participate in
the decision-making process, program planning and implementation, monitoring and evaluation, which
makes the Municipality more responsive and efficient in the delivery of basic services to Subiqeños.

The above mandate requires the accreditation of CSOs, which is being held starting first day of July
until the last day of August for the purpose of representation to the Local Special Bodies (LSBs),
particularly the LDC, Local Health Board (LHB), Local School Board (LScB), and Local Peace and
Order Council (LPOC). Presented on Table 154 are the applicable guidelines for the selection of LSB
representatives.

State of Local Governance

Republic Act 11292 otherwise known as The Seal of Good Local Governance Act of 2019 provides for
the recognition of the LGUs good performance in transparency and accountability in the use of public
funds, preparedness for challenges posed by disasters, sensitivity to the needs of vulnerable and
marginalized sectors of society, implementation of health programs, investment and employment
promotion, protection of constituency from threats to life and damage to property, and safeguarding the
integrity of the environment (RA 11292, Sec. 2). It aims to encourage LGUs to take on greater
challenges in efficiently delivering basic services for the general welfare of their constituents and in
enforcing existing laws. This section will tackle the Municipality’s performance in some of the criteria of
good local governance using the 2022 SGLG Technical Notes as the basis of the analyses.

Financial Administration and Sustainability


Objective: to uphold the practice of fiscal discipline and sustainability, and transparency and
accountability in the use of public funds.

The Municipality has been a Good Financial Housekeeping Passer for 2022 by complying with the
following indicators:

considered as not so significant relative to the Municipality's total operations.

 It is compliant with the Full Disclosure Policy, as previously discussed in page 217.

On the other hand, the Municipality also boasts for having a positive local revenue growth as evidenced
by the positive increase of 69.34% in 2022 amounting to Php47M from the local revenue of Php68M in
2021 to Php115M in 2022, which indicates its capacity to generate own financial source. For the
breakdown of revenue from all sources, refer to Table 143 and Table 144 in page 212-213.

Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness


Objective: Enable pro-competitive policies and interventions, and facilitate ease of doing business

229
3. amount of capital investment derived from registered new businesses for the past two (2)
years; and
4. number of employees derived from registered new businesses and business renewals for the
past two (2) years.
Disaster Preparedness
Objective: Prevent and prepare for disasters, whether natural or human-induced, in order to strengthen their resilience

MDRRMC
The Municipal Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Council (MDRRMC), which was reorganized
by virtue of Executive Order No. 12 Series of 2022 in compliance with RA 10121 (Philippine Disaster
Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010), approves, monitors and evaluates the implementation of
the MDRRM Plans and regularly review and test the plan consistent with other national and local
planning programs. They also ensure that disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation
strategies are integrated into local development plans, programs and budgets. In the time of disasters,
they also recommend the implementation of forced or preemptive evacuation of local residents, if
necessary. The MDRRMC meeting is regularly being held at a minimum of once every three (3)
months.
MDRRMO
The established MDRRM Office with seven (7) personnel – three (3) permanent, two (2) job orders and
two (2) labor – is headed by the MDRRM Officer with staff complement responsible for operations &
training, administrative & warning, and research, planning & evaluation. Likewise, Executive Order No.
33 Series of 2022 reorganized the Subic Public Order and Safety Office (SPOSO) Emergency
Response Personnel (ERP) as the Operations and Warning Division of the MDRRMO who are
responsible with the disaster assistance response and emergency cases incidents in the municipality.
MDRRM Plan
One of the functions of the MDRRMC is to formulate and implement a comprehensive MDRRM Plan,
which covers four (4) thematic areas: prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and
rehabilitation and recovery. It provides for the identification of hazards, vulnerabilities, and risks to be
managed, DRRM approaches and strategies to be applied in managing said hazards and risk, and
monitoring and evaluation system
Social Protection and Sensitivity
Objective: Demonstrate responsiveness to the needs of, and facilitate meaningful engagement with the vulnerable and
marginalized sectors of society.

Gender and Development (GAD) Mechanisms


Gender and Development (GAD) is a development perspective that recognizes the equal contribution of
women and men in all aspects of development. It involves a process of identifying interventions which
transforms unequal gender relations into opportunities which equally benefit women and men.

The enactment of the Municipal Gender and Development (GAD) Code in 2018 provides for the
Municipality’s support for gender equality and women empowerment. This “ensures that both men and
women share equal benefits by opening a wide arena for their active participation in the community
development process including the exercise of their rights and providing equal opportunity among
themselves” (COA, 2022, p.69). The need to update the existing GAD Code shall be guided by the
PCW-DILG-DBM-NEDA Joint Memorandum Circular (JMC) Nos. 2013-01 and 2016-01.

Page invalid without the seal of En.P. PRC No. 450, Republic Act No. 10587 Section 5.(d) expert witness.
230
There is also a GAD Focal Point System (GFPS) organized through Executive Order No. 02-2022 with
“the primary function of assisting in the formulation of new policies to address women’s concerns and
gender-based issues, leading and facilitating the Municipality’s aim to mainstream women
empowerment and gender equality, and ensuring gender-responsiveness within the LGU’s systems,
structures, policies, programs, process, and procedures (COA, 2022, p.69). For CY 2022, the GFPS
was compliant with the formulation and submission of the GAD Plan and Budget (GPB) and
Accomplishment Report. Along with the creation of the GFPS, the GAD Monitoring and Evaluation
(GAD M&E) Team was also established to assess GAD-related programs, projects, and activities.

Section 37 of RA 9710 (Magna Carta for Women [MCW]) Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR)
mandates all LGUs to develop and maintain the GAD database as source of information for gender-
responsive planning, programming and policy formulation. Annex B of PCW-DILG-DBM-NEDA JMC
No. 2013-01 provides for the data requirements, which will serve as a guide for the Municipality to
establish the GAD database. The existing Municipality’s database may be utilized plus other sources of
primary and secondary information such as surveys, studies, focus group discussions (FGD) results,
progress reports, and monitoring and evaluation results. The GAD database can be used for the
following purposes:

1. To aid in gender analysis of the LGU situation by surfacing gender gaps and/or differences
among women and men in terms of their access to basic services and facilities, control of
resources and enjoyment of rights, privileges, benefits and rewards;

2. To inform the LGU on the extent of implementation and/or attainment of gender equality and
women’s empowerment goals and outcomes; and

3. To provide baseline data on the status of women and men in the LGU as provided for in
Section 41 of the MCW-IRR.
Violations Against Women and Children (VAWC) Mechanisms

Section 9(d) of RA 9710 and Section 12(D) of its IRR provides that all LGUs shall establish a Violence
Against Women’s (VAW) Desk in every barangay to ensure that violence against women cases are fully
addressed in a gender-responsive manner. On the other hand, to ensure coordinated national-local
actions against human trafficking, violence and exploitation, the Municipality has established a VAW
Desk at the MSWD Office to monitor the implementation of RA 9208 (Anti-Trafficking in Persons Act of
2003) and RA 9262 (Anti-Violence Against Women and Their Children Act of 2004).
Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD)

RA 10410 (Early Years Act of 2013) aims to promote the rights of children to survival, development and
special protection with full recognition of the nature of childhood, the need to provide developmentally
appropriate experience to address their needs, and to support parents in their roles as primary
caregivers and as their children’s first teachers. The Municipality’s ECCD accomplishments include the
following:

1. 100% of ECCD Child Profile were encoded in the ECCD-Information System;


2. Complete data on ECCD Service Providers (Day Care Workers) and Facilities (Day Care
Centers) were provided to DSWD Field Office; and
3. 100% accomplishment rate in the implementation of the Supplementary Feeding Program
(SFP) Implementation Cycle.

231
Persons with Disabilities (PWDs) and Senior Citizens

The Municipality, with an estimated numbers of 665 PWDs and 8,142 senior citizens in 2022, is in
compliance with Batas Pambansa Blg. 344 (Accessibility Law) as evidenced by the presence of
structural features such as ramps with handrails and PWD toilet that is wheelchair-accessible,
particularly in the municipal hall, Rural Health Unit, and public market.

To further institutionalize the implementation of the programs and services for PWDs, RA 10070
(Magna Carta for Disabled Persons amending RA 7277), provides for the establishment of a Persons
with Disability Affairs Office (PDAO).

Environmental Management
Objective: Uphold the integrity of the environment

The Municipality has a functional Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB) that convened regularly,
with the membership composition which is in accordance with Sections 11 and 12 of RA 9003. An
ordinance for the comprehensive solid management program in the Municipality of Subic has also been
enacted by virtue of Regulatory Ordinance No. 2015-05, which provides for the local strategies,
incentives, and penalties relating to solid waste management.

The 10-year Solid Waste Management Plan has already been submitted to the DENR-EMB and waiting
for its deliberation for approval. The approval and adoption of the SWM Plan will fully capacitate the
Municipality in the efficient management of solid wastes, particularly the implementation of the identified
strategies to safeguard the environment and comply with the provisions of Sections 2 and 17 of RA
9003.

The Municipality has no central/municipal Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The responsibility on the
establishment and maintenance of MRF are left to the barangays. As of August 2021, all barangays
established its own MRF, which demonstrates the Municipality’s efforts in its compliance with Section
32 of RA 9003 in safeguarding the environment by means of establishing designated facilities for
receiving, sorting, processing and storing compostable and recyclable materials in an environmentally-
sound manner. However, most barangays don’t have the technical capacity to properly manage the
MRFs, which resulted to non-monitoring of the volume of waste received, transferred, and disposed.

The Municipality has allotted an area for Sanitary Landfill Facility (SLF) and it is still looking for
additional two (2) sites as required by the National Solid Waste Management Commission (NSWMC).
It is also open to other sustainable solid waste management disposal technologies such as waste-to-
energy facility. For the meantime, the Municipality has acquired the services of a private hauler, the
Metro Clark Waste Management Corporation (MCWMC), for the final disposal of solid wastes.
