CITY OF BIÑAN
6-YEARS COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN
2018 - 2024

Foreword

The City of Biñan’s 6-Year Comprehensive Development Plan, 2018 – 2024 aims to
level up the status of the City to greater heights of socio economic development
under my stewardship.

With a rich historical past dating, back during the Spanish Period, Biñan had a
robust local commercial and trading economy ahead of other municipalities in
the Province of Laguna. The challenge for Biñan is to regain its former glory days
over the medium and long term focused on commercial, industrial and tourism
development.

In cooperation with other government agencies, private business sector, local

and foreign, non-government organizations, and the local people and other
stakeholders of Biñan, I am confident that we will overcome all challenges and
succeed in our vision and mission thru the implementation of the CDP.

I wish to thank all the people and offices of the City Government who
participated in the formulation of the CDP.

“Sa Biñan ang Tao ay Maasahan”

Acknowledgement

The completion of the City of Biñan 6-Years Comprehensive Development Plan

(CDP) would not have been possible without the full support of all City of Biñan
departments, offices and units by providing inputs – data and information - as
basis for the sector analysis and sector plans formulation. Other technical data
and information came from regional government agencies (DTI, DOST, LLDA,
DPWH, DEPED, TESDA, others) and the private business sector.

The Local Government Code of 1991 mandates the formulation of the CLUP,
CDP and Zoning Ordinance.

IN THE CITY OF BIÑAN

1.1 COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING IN THE CITY OF BIÑAN

With the signing of the consultancy contract between LandExcel Consulting Inc. and the City
Government of Biñan in May 2017, work started in updating the City’s Comprehensive Land Use
and Development Plan (CLUDP), 2000 -2015 formulated by Urbis Philippines in 1999 with financial
and technical assistance from NEDA Region 4 – A and the World Bank.

The complete revision and upgrading of the old planning documents was spearheaded by the
Office of the Mayor – CPDO Task Force in collaboration with the SP Committee on Land Use and
all the concerned departments, offices and Barangay Councils. The major task is to prepare the
new Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), 2018-2028, the implementing tool-Zoning Ordinance
(ZO) and the companion document - Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), 2018 -2023.

Said planning documents will serve as the roadmap in the future development of the City of
Binan providing the rationale in the preparation of the Local Development Investment Program
(LDIP), the Executive Legislative Agenda (ELA) and the Annual Investment Plan (AIP). By doing so,
Binan shall be fully compliant with the DILG’s Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).

1.1.1 RELATIONSHIP WITH NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND PROVINCIAL PLANS, PROGRAMS AND

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

The region has a bustling metropolis with high profile knowledge, technology and
service based industries, a livable industrial region and a model for sustainable living. It
is integrated with a revitalized and renewed countryside communities. The region is
served with excellent inter modal land, air and sea transport networks and efficient
communication facilities thereby making it a leading center for education, innovation,
culture and ultra-modern tourism sites.

Its citizenry – who are God fearing, creative, influential and highly capable of
competing in the global market, environment conscious and disciplined – live in peace,
security and progress.”

Spatial Strategy divides Calabarzon into two development zones – Urban Growth
Center (UGC) and the Resource Based Area Development Cluster (RBADC).

Biñan belongs to the UGC with a hub of economic activities in the region in terms of
industrial, commercial, financial, and services with minimal activities in agriculture,
characterized by efficient use of existing land, compatible mixed land uses, higher
density development, urban renewal, complete with transport and communication
linkages. Parks, open spaces, urban forest, buffer zones are maintained and preserved.
Lakes and rivers are properly managed.

The UGC strategy that will apply to Biñan entails the following:
Update land use plans to determine the best use of agricultural land in the area, identify
land for urban expansion to reduce land speculation and prevent premature land
conversion, delineate environmentally critical areas and guide location and intensity of
urban development through strategic infrastructure development.

Review existing land use conversion guidelines as they apply to highly urbanizing areas.

Manage land development through strict and consistent enforcement of land use
regulations, fiscal market incentives and disincentives.

Encourage the LGUs to perform their mandate in managing the urban environment,
particularly adopting policies and measures to mitigate pollution and address other
environmental concerns.

Enhance support services, direct population movement, and allow higher density
development.

Encourage investment in non-polluting industries that utilize raw or semi

processed/processed materials produced in the non-urban growth cluster.

Optimize utilization of various industrial estates while limit the establishment of light, non-
polluting industrial activities in areas adjacent to highly productive cropland and fishing
grounds.

Increase accessibility within the urban growth cluster through upgrading and efficient
use of existing infrastructure (transport and communication) and improve access to
unutilized and potential urban expansion areas.

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Improve the linkage of the urban growth cluster with their neighboring regions through
better access to international airport and ports, extension of the railway system to the
region and the upgrading of the main transport backbone that links Luzon with the
Visayas and Mindanao (the Manila South Road – Maharlika Highway and the Strong
Republic Nautical Highway).

Biñan is part of the Western Laguna Sub-Cluster to include San Pedro, Biñan, Santa
Rosa, Cabuyao, Calamba, Los Baños and Bay. Under the Plan, Biñan is positioned
to expand its traditional trading center function to include major commercial and
wholesale trading to serve nearby towns as well as Metro Manila’s wholesale buyers. The
existing flow of agricultural commodities from the agricultural towns of Cavite Province to
Biñan shall be sustained. The upgrading of the Pala Pala Highway would economically
allow the transport of agricultural products from the rest of Laguna province to Biñan.

The major infrastructure projects that will greatly improve the mobility to and from,
and within the sub cluster are the Calamba – Los Baños By-Pass Road, North Rail-South
Rail Linkage Project Phase II (Alabang-Calamba), CALA East West Roads (Daang Hari-SLEX
Linkage, CALA North South Road, CALA Expressway), among others.

 CALABARZON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN, 2017-2022

 LAGUNA PROVINCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK PLAN (PDPFP), 2010-

2020

The PDPFP is the primary technical guide to the development of the Province of
Laguna.

The Vision: “Laguna by year 2020 has a balanced and sustainable rural-urban
economic growth where people are given more productive employment and
business opportunities in an orderly and peaceful society, and a safe environment
and habitation conducive for growth and development”.

The First District of Laguna and Biñan Sole District is more developed and industrialized
due to nearness to Metro Manila focused on commercial and industrial development.
Biñan should however complement the agricultural status with thriving MSMEs of the
third and fourth districts. Hence, the preferred strategy of Laguna is agro industrial
development wherein industrialization will grow hand in hand with agriculture.

Biñan should go along with Laguna Province striving for economic self- sufficiency,
balance growth and equitable distribution of development benefits while at the
same time ensuring the protection of the environment. It should provide easy access
to food, employment, housing, health, education, welfare and other human needs;
reduce disparities in income and resources, and maintain quality of air, water and
land.

Biñan should focus on three (3) major concerns: Settlements, Infrastructure and
Resource Management.

In Biñan, the conversion of prime agricultural lands to industrial and residential uses
have resulted in the decrease in land areas for agricultural productivity. Biñan should
ensure the protection and preservation of its natural environment addressing issues
and concerns related to water resources, air quality and waste management.

With the growing population and increase in the establishment for industries, Biñan in
the province of Laguna has to provide more infrastructure support services.

 LAGUNA DE BAY BASIN MASTER PLAN: 2016 AND BEYOND, LAGUNA LAKE DEVELOPMENT
AUTHORITY

Vision – “An abundant, living and sustainably developed lake that optimally benefits
all sectors of society in the Laguna Lake Basin”.

Medium Term Development Directions with Implications to Biñan

1. Intensify waste and pollution control towards through adaptive waste

management system primarily for domestic and agricultural sources.
2. Rationalize water zoning to harmonize all uses within the lake including
navigation and water related waste management infrastructure.

3. Promote security of lakeshore communities from flooding, health risks and

minimize economic displacement through effective flood control programs
and resettlement plans.

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

4. Rationalize watershed and shoreland specific management policies based

on validated threshold and vulnerability to sustain their ecological functions
based on incentive based regulation and adaptive co management systems.

5. Rationalize service and infrastructure based network for environmental

management and sustainable economic uses of lake basin resources.

6. Rationalize eco-tourism potential as development driver and promote lake

sensitive eco-tourism developments.

7. Adopt innovative financing schemes beyond regulatory fee collection.

8. Maximizing market based instruments and PPP schemes.

Recommended Long Term Development Directions. Need to expand development

directions in order to:

1. Improve eco system based performance monitoring and data

management.

2. Intensify community based and incentive focused waste management

systems for lakeshore settlements.

3. Upgrade quality control for lake water suited as source of freshwater of the
region and parts of Metro Manila.

4. Promote adaptive co management systems on critical areas in the

shoreland consistent with rationalized water zoning.

5. Create opportunities for sustainable livelihoods through PPP schemes suited

for upland communities and lakeshore.

6. Intensify development and use regulations for highly extractive economic

activities with primary focus on restoration costs.

7. Pursue measures that will create buy in culture for critical environmental
protection and regulation policies.

8. Comprehensive and continuing retooling of LLDA personnel.

9. Promote PPP as means of financing major investment programs and

projects.

 CAVITE LAGUNA (CALA) SOUTHERN LUZON EXPRESSWAY PROJECT

It is a Php 48.5 Billion project of Metro Pacific CALA under PPP with right to collect
fees for 35-year concession period.

It will involve the construction of 44.9 kilometer four lane expressways via the
Mamplasan Interchange linking CAVITEX to SLEX to be operational by 2020.

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

It will greatly ease movement of goods services in the area further boosting
economic activities in the Southern Tagalog Region.
Implications: The Laguna section of the project will start at Mamplasan in Biñan that
most likely spur the development of Biñan as a major hub for industry, commerce and
transportation linked to the other provinces, cities and municipalities in Cavite,
Batangas, Quezon and Rizal. It can become a new growth center and corridor of
development of Biñan. The nearby area host locator industrial estates – Laguna
Intenational Industrial Park (LIIP), Greenfield Industrial Park (GIP) and Ayala
Technopark INC. (LTI).

 NORTH SOUTH RAILROAD PROJECT (NSRP)

NSRP South Line aims to deliver a reliable, safe and environment friendly transport
service to currently underserved areas in Southern Luzon and encourage more
productive activities.

The Project is comprised of two components:

1. Long Haul Passenger Rail Operations from Manila to Legaspi City in the
Bicol Region with extensions to Batangas City and Matnog in Sorsogon
(478 km main line with 175 km for extensions).

2. Commuter Rail Operations from Manila to Calamba City, Laguna (56 km).

3. Project Cost: Php 170.7 Billion

4. Project approved by the NEDA Board 16 February 2015.

Implications: The railway line will traverse the City of Biñan from Barangay Platero to
Barangay Canlalay with train stations for passengers and freight cargo. It has
implications on the migration of people coming from Metro Manila and the provinces
of Quezon, Batangas and Bicol Provinces; the transport of agricultural and other
products would increase trade and commerce in Biñan; the possible establishment of
food terminal area in Biñan would revive the city as local product distribution center
servicing the neighboring cities and municipalities of San Pedro, Santa Rosa,
Cabuyao in Laguna and Carmona, Dasmariñas, Silang and GMA in Cavite.

CHAPTER 3
COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CDP) AND
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (CLUP) INTEGRATION

3.1 THE CLUP GROWTH CENTERS

(Refer to Development Framework and Structure Plans, Volume 1 CLUP)

1. Heritage Town
The Poblacion Area called “kabayanan” has been the old urban center of the City of
Biñan comprising the original “municipio” established during the Spanish Period
converted now into a City Museum. There is also located the pilgrim Roman Catholic
church of San Isidro and the activity area of the public plaza with covered court.

Notable are the presence of Spanish type “bahay na bato” ancestral houses of the
descendants of old families of Biñan. The old narrow road network has not been
widened and expanded. The centuries old public market was the commercial and
trading hub of the neighboring towns in the Calabarzon Region.

With the transfer of the City Hall Government Building in Barangay Zapote about 5
kilometers from the Poblacion Area, the Kabayanan will eventually evolve into a
secondary urban center focused on historical heritage tourism. The old Public Market
with a myriad of small commercial establishments in the vicinity will most probably retain
its original character serving the food needs of the local people despite the emergence
of modern malls and supermarkets outside the city center.

The Kabayanan Area requires urban renewal and historical-heritage re-development

focused on restoration, conservation, protection and beautification to prevent from
further marginalization and depreciation.

2. Light Industrial Complex

Barangay Mamplasan situated west of the SLEX link the City of Biñan to the larger
national, regional and global economy with industrial and logistic companies exporting
and importing products and services in a value chain operation. The companies in the
PEZA accredited economic zone – Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP) and Laguna
Technopark Inc. (LTI) benefited much from income tax holidays, tariff free import of
capital goods, among others. They stimulated the local economy with multiplier impact
on secondary and tertiary sector. Location wise, it is strategically situated at the entrance
of the forthcoming 45- kilometer Southern Luzon Expressway (CALAX) going to the
commercial and industrial areas of the Province of Cavite.

The future challenge for these PEZA registered companies is to encourage them to retain
their business operations and productions instead of shutting down and pulling out.

33

Downloaded by Secret Admirer (triciapadre@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Locator companies should find ways expanding their operations by scaling up its
production capacity. They can diversify their products and services through innovation
and start-ups. The Retention, Expansion and Diversification (RED) policies and strategies
of the government’s DTI, BOI and PEZA should be complemented with appropriate
incentives, fiscal and non-fiscal. The positive impact will be security of quality
employment with salary and income for the workers thereby sustaining the growth of the
local economy.

3. Government Center
The establishment of the Annex City Hall situated in Barangay Zapote opened up the
areas as a mini hub one stop shop operations of government agencies like GSIS, SSS,
DOLE, DTI, LTO, RD, BIR, among others, that can provide front line services to the private
business sector and workers in the economic zones of LIIP and LTI. The area has excellent
social amenities of housing and shopping areas, road network, telecom facilities, land
transportation and easy access to the SLEX. The Sports Arena and Track and Field Area
near the City Hall are added attractions to do business. The CALAX Road will connect
the government center to Cavite Province.

4. Major Commercial Zone

The forthcoming construction of the 400-kilometer North South Railroad from Tutuban,
Manila to the Bicol Region traversing Laguna, Quezon with spurline to Batangas Port will
open up opportunities in the trading and shipment of farm products, hats, shoes, slippers,
native food products from Biñan. To take advantage of this business opportunity, a food
terminal complex can be established along the railroad station in Barangay San Vicente
linked to the Public Market and MSMEs areas of DeLa Paz, Malaban, Casile and Platero.

The City of Biñan can therefore emerge as the hub of agricultural trading with products
coming from Bicol, Quezon and Batangas in the South connected to the neighboring
cities of San Pedro, Santa Rosa and Cabuyao and the areas of Cavite Province thru the
Southern Luzon Expressway. This concept was envisioned in the Calabarzon Regional
Development Plan, 2017-2022. The said complex will enable Biñan recover its former glory
as hub of agricultural trading just like the old times.

It can be a joint venture arrangement between the private land owners and the private
business sector that can be part of the feasibility study and business plan.

5. New Town Development

The presence of De La Salle University Science Complex in Barangay Biñan is very
strategic for the City of Biñan. In California, USA, Stanford University provides academic
technological innovation to technology companies in Silicon Valley.

In the same manner, De La Salle University Science Complex can become a university
town and agent of catalyst in next level technological and industrial development of the
local economy of Biñan. De La Salle University can establish a center for start-up
innovation/incubation business as center piece tripartite program of the government,
university and industry.

The feasibility study will define the respective roles of each party particularly: De La Salle
will host the center with faculty, laboratory and curricular program; the association of
industry to provide the funding requirements with tax incentives from the government
benefiting from the commercialization of start-up technologies and skilled workers; and

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Biñan can provide stipend and tuition fees from its scholarship programs for Biñan
residents.
Bo. Binan has the ambiance of social amenities, excellent road and telecom
infrastructure to host this kind of undertaking. It has easy access to the SLEX, CALAX and
the Santa Rosa Silang Tagaytay Road. LIIP and LTI with multinational company executives
and workers, the residential gated and middle income families in the vicinity and the De
La Salle Campus students will sustain the viability of the new business district.
It can be master-planned as a self-contained community of malls, supermarket,
restaurants, entertainment and recreation linked to Barangays Loma, Langkiwa,
Mamplasan and Timbao as consumer market and source of service related workers. The
under developed and under-utilized area will complement and eventually merge with
the commercial hub of Paseo de Santa Rosa and Nuvali. There are also plenty of
expansion areas for land development in the nearby areas of Silang, Cavite.

6. Waterfront Development
Laguna Lake is the new frontier of mixed use development for the City of Biñan given its
limited land area for future growth and development. The shoreland of Barangays DeLa
Paz, Casile and Malaban can provide opportunities in the establishment of lakefront
development with access to the National Highway.

The UN concept of Planned City Extension (PCE) master-planned for residential,

commercial, institutional, recreational uses are the current models that can be adapted
in the said areas. The City Extension can be connected with multi modal transport system
of ferry boats, buses, three wheeled motorbikes and jeepneys.

The master-planned community can be constructed in stilts and/or land recovery in

Laguna Lake addressing the problems of flooding, environmental pollution, among
others, based on the standards of the LLDA, DENR, PRA, DPWH, among others. It can be
undertaken under the PPP or Joint Venture Arrangement.

7. New Business Complex

The Southwoods Area can become a BPO IT Hub of Biñan with the high end commercial-
residential-recreational development being spearheaded by the Megaworld
Corporation. The popular tourist destination – Splash Island – provides water park related
recreation especially during the humid summer season. The Southwoods Golf Club has
condominium and hotel facilities.

The area covers sprawling portions of the land in Biñan, Carmona and San Pedro with
plenty of land for expansion. Area has access points to the SLEX, Carmona, San Pedro
and Biñan excellent road network leading to residential, commercial and industrial areas
for greater connectivity and mobility.

3.2 THE CDP SECTOR DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS AND STRATEGIES

Biñan opts to adopt combined development options as they play significant functions in the
existing local economic structure that will transform it into a well-developed City.

 Balanced Commercial/Industrial and Heritage

The City of Biñan is for medium to high level commercial-industrial development strategy
without neglecting its historical and heritage tourism industry located at Barangay

35

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Poblacion and nearby areas as the major concern of the secondary and tertiary levels
of the local economy.

In essence, the strategy aims to modernize and level up the commercialization/trading

center and urbanization of Biñan. With this thrust, the commercial base will be intensified
thus strengthen its functional role in the Province of Laguna as upcoming metropolitan
center focused on trade, finance, support service center, sports and recreation and
business process/outsourcing center.

Biñan shall ensure the availability of facilities, utilities, measures and incentives to
encourage investors to further retain, expand and diversify increasing its investments to
the City.

Mitigating measures shall be put in place to address the impacts of intensified

commercial activities such as solid and liquid wastes, traffic management, worker’s
housing, health, and hospital facilities, among others.

The light to medium industrial sector companies operating in the City will be poised for
the retention of their manufacturing operations, their possible capacity expansion in
products and services, and their diversification into related production areas (RED)
making use of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives provided by PEZA, BOI and the City
government.

There shall be support services, facilities and utilities required such as power, water, roads,
telecommunication and efficient solid and liquid waste management system.

Mitigating measures should address the impacts of industrial operations taking

advantage of processing activities. This will complement and further increase the outputs
of other productive sectors like commerce and trade.

Historical and heritage tourism also has the potential for reinvigoration to national level
standards of the DOT, NHC and TIEZA. This should be carefully planned so that the rich
heritage of the City will not be lost even when the City is already highly developed.

The strategy will create jobs for the people of Biñan and even bring about an increase in
migrant population to Biñan particularly professional and technical manpower from
other provinces. As to its impact on the City economic structure, private services and
wholesale-retail trade activities as well as manufacturing will dominate the local
economy.

The Biñan road network system proposed for upgrading particularly the industrial
Barangays and the implementation of Road Traffic Circulation Master Plan consisting of
loop roads spanning the whole of Biñan Barangays and the National Highway will open
up business opportunities for the commercial and light industrial sectors including the
development of Laguna Lake shoreland. Likewise, master planning of the drainage and
flood control system will make Biñan safe from flash flooding.

As envisioned in the Laguna Development and Physical Framework Plan, 2010 – 2020
(DPFP), Biñan has a big role and envisioned to become a Secondary Metropolitan
Center linked to Metro Manila, the cities and small towns of Laguna.

The following may be considered in establishing development strategies:

36

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

 Strategy 1: Full Commercialization

The strategy is projected to go towards full commercialization. It will entail the putting up
of more high-end secondary and tertiary level business establishments like super malls,
super markets, five star hotels, gourmet restaurants, branded coffee shops and fast food
outlets, banks and financial institutions, high rise condominiums, new government centers,
religious and heritage institutions, transport, recreation and sports facilities.
The intensified job-creation in the City will improve the economic status of its people and
would even lessen the movement of people going out of the City to other CBDs in
nearby cities. It would mean knowledge and creativity employment based service
industries that pays well like IT BPO companies particularly in the Southwoods – Mega World
Area and Asia United Bank Jubilation Cyber Park.

The establishment of a Food Terminal Complex connected to the Train Station in San
Vicente for upscaling under the North South Rail Project from Tutuban, Bicol and
Batangas, and the Public Market will further boost the character of Biñan as a regional
center of commerce and trade in Calabarzon.

 Strategy 2: Commercial – Industrial and Micro, Small and Medium

Scale Enterprises

For Strategy 2, Biñan will concentrate its efforts in improving the quality of life of its
residents by adopting a well-balanced lifestyle of work, live and play to enjoy the fruits of
modernized commercial and light industrial development. Whereby the manufacturing
industry in the industrial estates is retained, expanded and diversified, the commercial
service sector will be stimulated for further growth.

The old micro, small and medium scale enterprises of the past represented by the hat
making, shoemaking, food industry of puto, pinipig, others, will be revitalized with
appropriate interventions – financial, marketing, technical assistance- to create more
employment opportunities with supplier chains of materials, marketing and trading.

 Strategy 3: Historical, Heritage Tourism and Sports and Recreation

Conceptually, Strategy 3 would entail the development of cultural historical sites Biñan is
known for. They include the old Spanish type ancestral houses such those where Jose
Rizal studied owned by old families (Potenciano, Gonzales, Yatco, Almeda, Yaptinchay,
Alberto, Garcia, others). It also includes the school where Jose Rizal studied. It would also
mean the rejuvenation of the historical milestones of Binan such as slippers and hat
making, gourmet of native foods (puto, pinipig, kutsinta, pospas).

The establishment of the Alonte Sports Arena, Track and Field and People’s Park ushers in
the development of sports and recreation. It can host national, regional and local sports
events including concerts, conventions and exhibits.

The Biñan Government Center in Barangay Zapote with the new City Hall Building, Sports
Arena and People’s Park can be expanded to include hotels, pocket parks, mini
shopping mall, satellite offices for government and private business sector will further
stimulate the said areas for business growth and development.

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Biñan has to provide the required infrastructures to support, improve and strengthen its
tourism thrust. With the planned Laguna Lake waterfront development, measures will be
needed to conserve its coastal areas to ensure that economic activities and ecotourism
will not cause the degradation of the lake environment and harm or affect the local
customs/traditions.

For this, a tourism master plan to layout the detailed activities, programs and projects
that support the thrust.

CHAPTER 4
SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The social sector covers the following subsector:

 Demography
 Health and Nutrition
 Education and Manpower Training
 Housing and Resettlement
 Protective Services
 Social Welfare Services
 Gender and Development (GAD)

4.1 Situation Analysis (Issues and Concerns), PPAs and Legislative Agenda
To achieve Biñan’s vision, the social well-being of the local people must be ensured by
addressing the key issues and concerns, come up with goals and targets, identify PPAs and
formulate legislative measures.

4.1.1 DEMOGRAPHY
o Based on the 2015 Census of Population and Housing (CPH), Biñan posted a population of
333,028 persons. This is bigger compared to its population of 283,047 persons counted in the
2010 CPH. This increase is equivalent to an average annual population growth rate (PGR) of
3.49 percent.

o Population density is quite high at 77 persons per hectares per person based on the 2015
CPH. Biñan is rapidly urbanizing, commercializing and industrializing due to in- migration,
higher birth rate and increasing life expectancies as experienced in the 1st and 2nd District of
Laguna.

o The increased growth rate and high density are attributable to internal migration rather than
natural birth as Biñan attracts more people and workers from the provinces, cities and
municipalities including Metro Manila for employment in commercial and industrial
establishments.

o The doubling of population in 23 years (2041) at more than 3 percent annual growth rate will
be more than 600, 000 requiring new housing units, resettlement sites, sites and services to
accommodate the population increase due to natural birth rate and migration with possible
scarcity of land for housing.

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

Key Issues and Concerns

 With the rapid growth of population of Biñan comes increase in the working age
population. This would mean that the proportion of dependents would decline that
would range from 75 to 50 young age dependents per 100 working persons. However,
old age dependency would remain from 6 to 7 persons per 100 working persons.

 Biñan is assured of continuing supply of young labor force which will be able to
support the manpower needs of various industries in view of the high population
growth. However, the quality of labor force should be addressed to ensure the
needed human capital would match the industry requirements.

 The prevalence of underweight children able to complete primary and secondary

education should decrease when they go to higher education as they will later
contribute to the future labor force. Labor force coming from malnourished children
will not be able to contribute much to greater productivity and quality output.

 Adoption of Population in Development Approach focused on family planning,

health, education, social welfare, responsible parenthood, among others. With the
lifting of the technical restraining order through the long-delayed decision of the
Supreme Court, the family planning program using the approved methods can now
be implemented.

4.1.2 HEALTH AND NUTRITION

o Biñan has two Health Centers, Barangay Health Stations and an Emergency Hospital. To
provide sufficient health services, it needs the following:

o There is 100 bed capacity community hospital at Golden City providing emergency and
lying in services to patients. There a two-medical hospital – Perpetual Help and Biñan Doctors
– and about 25 private medical clinics.

o Records of the Health Centers show ten leading causes of morbidity from 2010 to 2015
namely: unspecified acute lower respiratory infection (11,278), essential primary hypertension
(3,345), influenza (2,005), infectious gastro and colitis (1,459), disorders of urinary system
(1,218), rash and specific skin eruption (1,448), asthma (1,103), and vitamin deficiency (1,186),
among others.

o On the other hand, mortality in 2015 was caused by: cardiac arrest, senility, pneumonia,
pulmonary, renal failure, among others. There were deaths such as infant, maternal and neo-
natal. To watch is the incidence of HIV AIDS in Biñan in view of the rising incidence
nationwide and region wide.

o In 2016, there were underweight children (390), severe underweight children (145) and
overweight children (226).

Key Issues and Concerns

 As in other communities, there are under nutrition problems among the children of Biñan
especially those belonging to the low-income groups. This is due to insufficient child
nutrition given to the school going population (7 to 12 years old) such DEPED has feeding
program though inadequate in terms of budget allocation. The CSWD on a limited scale
also provide supplemental feeding program in the day care centers of the barangays.

39

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

 Children have poor food choices for lack of information given to them. Many low-
income families suffer from food insecurity for lack of money. This is aggravated by the
lack of family planning services given to the couples. Childcare are not given priorities
by families to address their feeding peculiarities. Lactating mothers seldom practice
breast feeding due to work related activities.

 It could be that the City Local Nutrition Community and Population Committee lacks the
full capacity in the implementation of health and nutrition programs due to limited
budget, lack of personnel, and logistical support to plan and implement nutrition and
population related programs.

 Prevailing communicable diseases such as tuberculosis are the usual morbidity pattern of
family members. Lifestyle diseases such as cardio vascular are emerging related to food
habits. HIV AIDS are being detected among the young and the old due to risky sexual
behavior. It could be that there is better detection system. Also, media advocacies
reduce the social stigma towards HIV detected patients.

 The temporary restraining orders on the use of contraceptive products and supplies
somehow contributed to the decrease in contraceptive prevalence but it may pick up
its momentum.

 Health manpower to population ratio range from low to high despite the manpower
augmentation by the DOH due to uncontrolled annual population increase.

 Informal sector families are in migrating and squatting along rivers, esteros, shoreland,
railroad tracks, and right of way areas. They have no sanitary toilets and access to safe
water including decent housing.

The hidden problem of mental health in a rapidly urbanizing environment is a growing

concern such as cases of suicide, depression, Alzheimer’s disease and dementia
especially the poverty stricken low income family members.

4.1.3 EDUCATION AND MANPOWER TRAINING

o The literacy rate is high at 99.68 percent based on the DEPED records. There were 26 public
elementary schools and 8 national high schools offering basic education. Private schools
offering secondary education are plentiful such as Lakeshore and Sta. Catalina. There are
notable higher education institutions such as Brent International School, San Agustin,
Perpetual Help University, St. Michaels College, among others.

o Biñan public elementary school needs 258 classrooms to reach the national standard ration
of 1:50 due to increasing student population. In the secondary levels, about 167 schools are
needed. Another 138 classrooms are also needed for the next 5 years.

o PUP admissions and graduates in various higher education courses are performing well in
board examinations. Due to limited budget, PUP can only accommodate limited number of
slots depriving other deserving but low income students whose families cannot afford quality
private higher education.

o TESDA admissions and graduates in technical vocational education courses gives

opportunities for low income students for immediate employment, local and foreign.

Key Issues and Concerns

40

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

 It is possible that net enrollment rate and achievement rate in public elementary and
secondary schools are declining despite high completion rate and cohort survival rate.
This can be attributed to high student to teacher ratio, overcrowded classrooms,
insufficient teachers training, distractions due to technologies like mobile phones, tablets
and social media, among others. Students have easy access to computer shops with
games causing distractions among learners.

 The quality of higher education institutions in Biñan can be questioned if there are low
passing percentage in professional and sub professional civil service examinations. This is
so despite the increasing number of tertiary level graduates in various courses. The
provision of adequate and quality higher education still remains.

 There is better employment opportunities among workers in Biñan due to the strong local
economy. However, there is the problem of underemployment for workers (receiving not
enough income) causing dissatisfaction resulting in low morale, tardiness and
absenteeism.

 The presence of unemployed but educated people may be attributed to the mismatch
of skills produced by the education sector and the skills required by the emerging
industries. There is competition from in-migrants job seekers. For example, higher
education courses are driven by the foreign market of medical workers rather the local
need. The business process outsourcing industry like medical transcription can employ
graduates of medical professionals working abroad without living their country in
different time zones.

 The working age population is faced with many challenges. There is the threat of early
and unplanned teen age pregnancies. HIV/AIDS cases are spiking. Illegal drugs are
proliferating. There is in-migration of unskilled labor. Skilled labor tends to work abroad.
The millenials have work preferences and attitudes not attuned to good work ethics.

 The role of the PUP in providing quality higher education for the youth of Biñan especially
the low-income students are constrained by limited enrollment due to budget
requirement and educational facilities. Performance of PUP graduates are outstanding in
board examinations while employers have preference for PUP graduates attributed to
their quality learnings and work attitudes/ethics (See program courses and graduates of
PUP).

 TESDA programs in Biñan on vocational technical education and training needs

expansion in courses and admission for skills needed by the industries and service sector.
Short term courses are very relevant with minimal skills mismatch and affordable to the
unemployed and out of school youth. (See program courses and graduates of TESDA)

4.1.4 HOUSING AND RESETTLEMENT

o Biñan’s middle to high end residential subdivisions provided housing accommodation for
both local and migrant population including those working and commuting every day to
and from Metro Manila. Transient workers rent housing accommodation

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

o The backlog of housing composed of doubled up household, unacceptable housing units,

and makeshift/salvage/improvised dwellings are increasing over the years without clear cut

41

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

government socialized housing program for the low-income families who cannot afford
open market housing of the private sector.

o The tenement housing, community mortgage program and land banking for housing can
address the problem of providing socialized housing.

Key Issues and Concerns

 Socialized housing as in other places may prove to be difficult to implement. The

financial barriers discouraged informal settler families (ISF) in availing of the program.
This may also be attributed to inadequate post relocation services including
livelihood and utilities. An inter-agency approach by NHA, DPWH, DOH, DEPED,
others has better chances of success in the delivery of sites and services.

 The local shelter program does not respond to actual housing backlog. Assistance
under socialized housing is demand driven or determined by application from
communities interested in the housing program. They are not provided because
people needs housing.

 The need is for access to affordable, adequate, safe and secure shelter in well
planned communities.

4.1.5 PROTECTIVE SERVICES

o Biñan’s protective services are being provided by the PNP for crime, BFP for firefighting and
BJMP for jail management. It has augmentation from the 24 village guards called Barangay
Tanods.

o Central Police Headquarter is located in the City Hall compound in Zapote, police outposts
and firefighting facilities in the 24 Barangays and central jail building in the Poblacion.

o The City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office (CDRRM) is located in the City Hall
compound with rescue vehicles and equipment in case of emergency. Evacuation centers
are situated in various barangays.

4.1.6 SOCIAL WELFARE SERVICES

o Social welfare services are being provided by registered social workers and assistants for the
disadvantaged population – women, children, disabled, senior citizen, others. There is no
institution based services for abused children and women, others.

o Poverty incidence or families living below the poverty line in the Calabarzon Region
especially the affluent cities of Laguna were declining based on the NSO Family Income and
Expenditure Survey (FIES). In Biñan, the informal sector families like those staying at PNR
railroad tracks were estimated at 3,400 excluding those squatting along the lakeshore of
Laguna de Bay as well as creeks.

Key Issues and Concerns

 Family Welfare Program

program.

4.2 Project Profiles and Concepts

4.2.1 TENEMENT HOUSING

Rationale and Concept of the Tenement Housing

The Tenement Housing would be a socialized housing for the informal settlers squatting in
danger zone areas such river banks, canals, under bridges, along roads and railroad tracks.
Biñan has already tagged squatter families for relocation in Langkiwa Resettlement Area.
Many settlers along the railroad tracks in Sto. Niño and San Antonio in fact have been
resettled and given socialized housing units under the NHA program. Some returned to
squatting for some reasons.

The tenement housing scheme would be similar to the tenement housing of President
Diosdado Macapagal in 1963 funded by the Japanese Reparations Program. The 1,000
families occupied 700 studio type accommodation paying 200 pesos per month except
water and electricity affordable to the residents. Value added component of tenement
housing is the provision of livelihood self-employment schemes, commercial areas of retail
trade and assistance to employment facilitation as OFWs.

NHA can consider the costs and benefits of the land and space consuming tenement
housing as compared to single detached row type housing which is land intensive. Land is
getting to be a expensive and scarce in urban areas especially for residential use competing

45

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

with commercial and industrial use. There should be common areas for playground, schools,
church and public market.

Geographic Location and Availability of Land

The NHA relocation areas in Barangay Langkiwa would be the ideal site of the tenement
housing program. The 10 hectares vacant private land in Barangay Tubigan is another
prospect for tenement housing.

Road Access, Transport and Power Supply

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

Master Plan Preparation

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

4.2.2 PROTECTIVE SERVICES

 The law enforcement duties of the PNP policemen are being questioned by the human rights
advocates in view of extra judicial killings allegations promoted by media hype. The PNP
should highlight in the investigation the causes of deaths related to illegal drugs.

 Biñan just like other cities and municipalities in Calabarzon, is still facing the problem on
illegal drugs. The challenge is to make Biñan Barangays cleared of illegal drugs. There is a
need to revitalize and activate the Barangay Action Plan and Barangay Anti-Drug Abuse
Council with adequate budget allocation related to prevention, treatment and
rehabilitation.

 The objectives are to reduce continuously the index crime volume, improve crime solution
efficiency, increase police to citizen ratio (1:500) and decrease the illegal drug affected
barangays.

 The occurrence of disasters in Biñan threaten peace and security as they affect the
environment and the community. Disaster risks increased during the past years due to
climate change while the severity and scale of disasters resulted to economic and social
instability of the city. Infrastructures also pose as risks as some are not structurally sound or
disaster resilient making them more prone to damages and increased risk. Need to formulate,
update and execute the Disaster Risk Reduction Management (DRRM) including the
continuing training of individuals on DRRM.

4.2.3 SOCIAL WELFARE SERVICES

o The Family Income and Expenditure Survey (FIES) would indicate that the overall poverty
incidence has been declining especially in the affluent cities of Calabarzon like Biñan, Santa

Rosa, Cabuyao and Calamba as compared to depressed areas. However, the Pantawid
Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) implemented at the local level through the CSWD failed to
alleviate severe poverty incidence due to the limited slots, delays in beneficiary assessment
and the violations of some beneficiaries of program conditions.

o There is a need to improve the existing national poverty alleviation programs or develop
other interventions to lessen poverty in cooperation with the LGU. These social protection
programs should ease the vulnerabilities of population to economic risks, natural hazards
and human induced shock.

o The LGU of Biñan through the CSWD should see to it that the children as the most vulnerable
group would be protected especially during the first 1,000 days wherein brain development
is critical and would lay the foundation of future health. They are also vulnerable to violence
which refers to all forms of physical or mental violence, injury and abuse, neglect or
negligent treatment, maltreatment or exploitation including sexual abuse and economic
risks.

o The older persons also the clients of the CSWD are vulnerable due to their mental and
physical health as well as their economic status which are expected to increase due to the
rapidly ageing population. The differently abled persons (DAPs) are also vulnerable to many
risks because of attitudinal, physical and financial barriers.

o Workers in the informal sector (WIS) and the contractual or job orders (JOS) in the formal
economy are vulnerable to economic risks because of uncertainty of sources of income or
livelihood. WIS and JOs are not covered by social security services but are still provided
special assistance such as job facilitation and emergency employment.

o Natural hazards like strong tropical storms and typhoons can further set back already
vulnerable and poor population and those that are near the poverty line. Thus the timely
and adequate delivery of relief and other immediate and short term rehabilitation and
recovery interventions are essential to cushion the impact of natural hazards.

CHAPTER 5
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PLAN

5.1 Situation Analysis (Issues and Concerns), PPAs and Legislative Agenda
 Biñan is a first-class city which is basically urban. Hence, the industry and services sectors
of Biñan as the dominant drivers of growth are vital to the realization of inclusive growth.

 The primary sector of agricultural crops, livestock production in the western Barangays
and the inland fisheries of fish pen and fish cages in Laguna Lake are contributing small
portion to the local economy.

 On the other hand, the local economy has been dominated by secondary sector of
manufacturing, construction and electricity, gas and water supply; and the tertiary
sector of whole sale and retail trade, transportation and communication, finance,
insurance and related services; real estate, community and personal services and
tourism.

 The manufacturing sector is represented by the large PEZA registered industrial estates of
LIIP and LTI engaged in electronics, automotive, metals, food and beverage with
thousands of workers in the industry locators situated in the southwest. The tertiary sector
is situated in the central part along the National Highway and the Poblacion area with
commercial activities and the old public market.

 The local tourism industry has yet to increase its potentials in terms of same day and
foreign visitors going to San Isidro Pilgrim Church, fiestas/festivals, city museum and
ancestral houses. Recreational activities are provided by the Splash Island especially
during the summer months.

 The informal sector mostly concentrated within the area of the public market providing
income and employment to the low-income people. Recreation is provided by the
Splash Island along the SLEX. Tourism development has big potential in promoting the
historical legacy of Biñan during the Spanish period with ancestral houses located in the
old Poblacion area.

 It follows that employment both males and females are concentrated in the tertiary and
secondary sectors especially industry and services attributed to the presence of industrial
parks, manufacturing and construction activities, commercial establishments,

58

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

infrastructure logistics and institution based services like private universities, colleges and
schools.

 Business establishments, small and big, have been increasing over the years with the
robust local economy of Biñan. Taxes collected comes mainly from business tax and
license followed by real property tax.

 There are big tax payers on real property and business tax for companies operating in
the Laguna Techopark and Laguna International Industrial Park accredited by PEZA
entitled to income tax holidays, tariff free importation of machineries and materials,
among others.

 Values of real property assessment also increased with the fast pace urbanization which
requires land for business, commerce, industry and residences. Land speculation drives
artificial shortage of land that commands high market values.

5.1.1 Primary Sector - Agriculture

o SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS

As of 2017, Biñan’s agricultural rice land under cultivation has a total of 164.80 hectares with
a few rice farmers despite large tracks of existing green areas with a total of 741.55 hectares
for many reasons such as lack of irrigation water, pest infestation, high costs of farm inputs,
lack of farm implements, among others. Farmers and/or tenants would rather wait for the
right time and price for the lands to be bought by property developers and converted for
residential, commercial, industrial uses and institutional uses. The generation of rice
farmers/tenants are dwindling over the years with no new farmers/tenants from their family
members who would rather work in white collar or blue collar jobs and work abroad with
better benefits and compensation.

Table shows the distribution of the agricultural areas by barangays and the number of
farmers:

Downloaded by Secret Admirer (triciapadre@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

o Unproductive idle lands can be used as open spaces, green areas and buffer
zone. These are strictly no build zones for safety and are encouraged to become
green spaces with trees and plants rather than concrete development. Biñan
can decide on acquiring lands for future land banking while value and prices of
these lands are still low and affordable. Buffers are needed for hazard prone
areas such as National Grid Corporation (NGC) grid lines, fault lines, sanitary
landfill, cemeteries, urban agriculture, natural drainage and aquifer recharge.

o Rice farm production are dwindling with only a few farmers and workers.

o Livestock production (poultry, hogs) are no longer compatible with the land use
of Biñan. Fish harvest from Laguna Lake from fish pens and fish cages were not
sustainable to provide adequate income. The small fishermen and their families
with livelihood connected to Laguna Lake are engaged in tricycle driving,
construction works, retail trades, others.

o The shoreland of Laguna Lake of about 8 kilometers provides small quantity of

vegetable crops during the dry season when water receded about 500 meters
from the shoreline. These vegetables are sold in the public market and talipapa
of Barangay Malaban and DeLa Paz.

o PROPOSED LEGISLATIONS
 MOA with LLDA about shared lake management

o PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

 Short Term Vegetable Production in the Shoreland of Laguna Lake.
 Modern fishery culture system
 Coordination Linkage between Biñan and LLDA in lake regulation, fisher folks,
and income sharing from fish pen and fish cages harvest.
 Regulation of livestock and poultry operation for ecological purposes.
 High value crops production for small farmers.
 Organic agriculture Program
 Rice Program for food security

o URBAN AGRICULTURE
Biñan’s remaining agricultural land covers 164 .8 hectares or about 3.7 percent of
Biñan’s total land area. Rice farm production are dwindling with only about 74
farmers. There were no short term vegetable crops and fruit trees planted as in
the past when Biñan was a rich agricultural town with irrigated water both in the
upland and in the lowland. The remaining poultry and hogs in some areas are no
longer consistent with urban living but becomes a nuisance. Fish farming were
not fully maximized in Laguna Lake resulting in marginal harvests of fishes
by small fishermen but benefited more the commercial fish pen owners.

Given this scenario, there is a need to promote on a smaller scale urban

agricultural production using modern urban farm agricultural system practiced in
Israel, Japan and Korea. Agribusiness model of intensive farming high value quality
farm products like organic farming can be promoted. It can make use of
modern technology such as hydroponics even in farm buildings and
plantation of short term harvest years and oxygen producing fruit trees with
benefits to the environment.

CHAPTER 6
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

THE ENVIRONMENT SECTOR

The environment of Biñan can be categorized into the following ecosystems namely:

o Urban Ecosystems
o Freshwater Ecosystem
o Agricultural Ecosystem

There are no Forest and Mineral Resource Ecosystems.

Situation Analysis (Issues and Concerns), PPAs and Legislative Agenda

6.1 The Urban Ecosystem

o Biñan’s identified urban zone (commercial, industrial, residential, institutional and
recreational) occupies more than 90 percent of the total land areas in the northeast,
southwest and the central portion of the old Poblacion district in the eastern side.

o Commercial activities concentrate along the traffic prone National Highway, Gen.
Malvar Road, Canlalay Road, San Antonio Road and the central Poblacion area
consisting of wholesale and retail trade, transportation and communication, finance,
insurance and related services, real estate, community and personal services. The old
public market in the Poblacion still thrives in wholesale and retail trade business since the
early times.

67

Downloaded by Secret Admirer (triciapadre@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

o The industrial economic zones are in the western section of Barangay Mamplasan and
Barangay Biñan where the Laguna International Industrial Park (LIIP) and Laguna
Technopark Inc. (LTI) host multinational PEZA registered companies involved in
electronics, auto assembly and semiconductor assembly production, logistics, among
others. The science and technologically oriented De La Salle University near the area
provides an ideal mix of academe and industrial cooperation for innovation, education
and training.

o High end, middle and low income housing subdivisions are scattered in between the
commercial and industrial and institutional zones. There are schools, small colleges and
universities along the National Highway such as University of Perpetual Help and St.
Michaels while the recreational area represented by the Splash Island in the west along
the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX). Hospitals such as Biñan Doctors and Perpetual Help
Hospital operates along the National Highway. The New City Hall Building was relocated
from the Poblacion to Barangay Zapote in the western portion.

WASTE MANAGEMENT
 The solid and liquid wastes - are the focus of waste management as major components
of the urban and fresh water ecosystem of Biñan. The urban zone of Biñan covers nearly
90 percent of the total land area generating increasing volumes of solid, liquid, toxic and
hazardous wastes. It has links to the fresh water ecosystem of rivers, canals, Laguna Lake
and below the ground water.

 This is alarming in the absence of a treatment facility like sanitary landfill, controlled
landfill, fully operating MRF in barangays, top of the line waste to energy plant, septage
collection, black and gray water treatment plant. Noise, foul odor and air quality are
emerging concerns in the fast pace urbanization of the community.

 The Solid Wastes Management Act, Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act provide the
legal framework in addressing the issues, concerns and problems reinforced in the City
Environmental Code of Biñan. An array of policies, strategies, programs, projects and
activities have been identified, recommended and listed down in the CLUP and CDP to
implement the above cited laws and code.

 The City Government in partnership with the private business sector, local and foreign,
and guidance from the national government agencies such as the NEDA, PPP Center,
DENR and DOST can undertake wastes management projects through alternative modes
of joint ventures, build operate transfer, and its variants in view of high capital investment
costs required, economies of scale, use of appropriate technology, financial and
economic returns, organization and management, among others.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

 Biñan just like any cities and municipalities in the country generates a lot of thrash that
are not properly disposed. Maybe, we should consider the Swedish model of recycling
thrash and eliminating them. I have this seen this system works in Malmo, a small city near
Copenhagen while attending a University of Lund program on water and sanitation in
2010. Based on statistics, the Nordic country recycles 1.5 billion bottles and cans annually,
staggering amount for a population of about 9.6 million (2013). In terms of rubbish, the
Swedes only produce a small 461 kilograms of waste per year but less than 1 percent of
discard thrash ends up in landfills.

68

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

 This system has significant impact on electricity production. The Swedes participates in a
waste to energy (WTE) program with about 32 special plants for this. This is how it works:
the furnaces are loaded with garbage and burned to generate steam. The newly
produced gas is then used to spin generator turbines and produce electricity, then
transferred to transmission lines and the power grid. By doing this approach, the country
is able to reduce toxins that seep into the ground. We know too well that when waste sits
in landfills such as those in Montalban and Payatas, Metro Manila, leaking methane gas
and other greenhouse gasses, is not good for the environment. In San Pedro, Baka Valley
Company extracts methane gas in the land fill area operated by Pilotage which
generated 5 megawatts electricity that feeds to the grid of NGCP.

 Before incinerating garbage, it’s first filtered by home and business owners. Things that
cannot be recycled are separated (such as food scraps and paper products) and
anything that can be salvaged is set aside. Because would be waste is carefully
examined, it leaves relatively little for the waste to energy program. In fact, Swedes
imports garbage from the UK, Italy and other EU countries to ensure they stay up and
running the program.

 The traditional practice of throwing things away all together is not acceptable. Things we
see in the garbage bin such as clothing, shoes or bicycles would instead be repaired. The
burden put on the owner of these worn-out goods would give way to new employment
opportunities. There’s room in the labor market for people that can fix things. These are
skilled jobs don’t require a high level of education such that people can enter the job
force in a matter of months rather than years. People would still buy things that won’t be
repaired but it will cost them. Taxes would be imposed on these items to incentivise
consumers in purchasing items with a long life ahead of them.

 Of course, it would take feasibility studies, long approval process in the government and
capital investment from the private business sector in partnership with the national and
local government of Biñan before we can install this kind of system. But with no end in
sight in solving the thrash problems, we can consider this as urgent option.

o SITUATION ANALYSIS (Issues and Concerns)

 Waste management – (solid, liquid, toxic and hazardous), air quality and noise are
the focus of environmental protection. The increasing solid waste generation by
household, business and industry is alarming in the absence of treatment facility
like sanitary landfill and barangay based material recovery facility. There is
extensive collection and disposal of garbage paid by the city government
handled by a service contractor.

 Vehicle emissions including smoke emissions from three wheeled tricycles and
motorcycles may reach alarming rate in view of traffic congestion and heavy use
of the National Highway from Barangay Platero to Barangay Canlalay as well all
the local roads in barangays. With a high-density population in the urban
environment, there are heavy congestion of residential houses, commercial
buildings and vehicular traffic in Biñan.

 There are no system of waste water treatment and septage collection facilities
linked to households except poorly designed and constructed septic tanks (pozo
negro) serviced by private service collector. Industries have their own waste
water and chemical treatment facility for their by-products some hazardous with
some not complying with ECC and not applying discharge permits. Informal

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

settler families along river and lakeshore barangays directly dispose garbage and
waste water uncontrollably.

 Eventually, uncollected solid wastes and untreated waste water from household
and commercial establishments ends up in Laguna Lake through Biñan rivers and
small canals with Class C water sometimes contaminated with chemicals and
metals. The foul smell of Lake water, fish kill and algae bloom indicates the
degrading level of Laguna Lake waters quality.

 Based on the Pollution Load Model developed for Biñan River Basin (done by
Amaya, Gonzales, Hernandez, Luzano and Mercado, 2016) estimated the waste
loads to surface water by different sources. Results showed that about 9,592 MT
load of BOD which drops to 6,388 MT after undergoing purification or decay
processes that enters Laguna de Bay annually. Domestic effluents is 3,850 MT
followed by livestock sources at 1,446 MT. The industrial sources contribute about
747 MT.

o PROPOSED LEGISLATION
 Updating of the Environmental Code

o PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS

 Establish waste water treatment facilities by water concessionaires
 Establish shared solid waste disposal facilities with other LGUs
 Develop and adopt green infrastructure and technologies such as rainwater
harvesting or catching technologies
 Retrofitting of buildings, establishments and infrastructure according to climate
and disaster resilient building standards
 Establish database on disaster damages and losses
 Ground Meter Use Metering/Monitoring
 Septage Collection and Disposal Program
 Integrated Environmental Management Program for Toxic and Hazardous Waste
 Installation of Air Quality Monitoring Devices in Strategic Areas
 Community Sewerage System Development
 Bamboo for Life and Local Greening Program
 Sewage Treatment Plant

6.2 Fresh Water Ecosystem

o SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Biñan’s freshwater ecosystem consists of its surface and groundwater. Surface waters
consist of rivers, canals, streams, ponds and brooks. Groundwater is the body of water
found underneath the ground. Improving the recharge rates of the aquifers will ensure
sustainability of water sources by conserving and preserving the watershed areas.

o SURFACE WATER IN BINAN

Rivers and creeks traverse and separate Biñan from Santa Rosa, Carmona and San
Pedro. These surface water drains into the Laguna Lake from the upland watershed
areas southwest of Silang, Cavite until they reached Laguna Lake in the northeast. Biñan
River emanates from the western part of Barangay Santo Tomas and Langkiwa passing
thru the built-up areas in the midstream areas of Soro-Soro, forking into small rivers in
Barangay Tubigan as the boundary line with Carmona. In the south, Biñan shared river
with Santa Rosa as the boundary line. The northern side of Biñan is bounded by a creek
which separates it from San Pedro.

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

o SURFACE WATER QUALITY

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

o GROUND WATER SUPPLY IN BIÑAN

Biñan has a good groundwater development due to water bearing characteristics of the
alluvium and elastic rocks underlain with the highest groundwater capacities among the
lakeshore communities. Only portions of Barangay San Francisco and Barangay Biñan
are rated as having poor groundwater sources. It is for this reason that residents utilize
deep wells for their domestic water supply.

In August 2016, Laguna Water is sourcing ground water from its Laguna Well Field
consisting of 20 deep wells and four water reservoirs that can each hold five million liters
of water at a time with an investment cost of PhP 1.6 billion. From these reservoirs, water is
being distributed to customers in Biñan, Santa Rosa and Cabuyao, 94 percent by gravity
and 6 percent by pump fed. Tests showed the quality of water in this area is within the
limits of Philippine National Standards for Drinking Water. About 12,000 households in
Biñan have been connected to the Laguna Well Field.

o GROUND WATER QUALITY

In 2010, WWF assessed the public wells used for drinking in Santa Rosa and Biñan using
the parameters of total coliform and e coli following the Philippine National Drinking
Standards. In Biñan, there were 676 wells servicing 1,655 households. 11 of 47 sampled
wells (23%) failed the tests. Upon investigation, many wells were observed to be poorly
maintained, have cracked bases and susceptible to flooding. Others built on or beside
canals, near toilets, piggery farms and other sources of pollution.

o KEY ISSUES AND CONCERNS

o Prevent further deterioration of ground water quality as well as surface waters
needed by ways of waste water treatment, sewage treatment for highly utilized
areas and septic tank treatment for less urbanized districts.

o Public awareness of sanitation practices like protection from dumping of garbage,

animal/human wastes, effluent from industrial wastes and other pollutants that will
affect the quality of surface and ground water resource in the aquifer system.

o The Marikina Valley Fault System crossing Biñan extend directly down to the ground
water aquifer system as conduit of recharge water highly vulnerable to pollutants
and should be protected.

o Identifying illegal wells in order to regulate groundwater withdrawal or abstraction.

BASIN-WIDE POLLUTION CONTROL STUDY (WATER QUALITY MANAGEMENT)
PROJECT TITLE
PROJECT BRIEF Water quality degradation of rivers and Laguna Lake will in time become
a sensitive community issue for people living downstream. As such an
allowable pollution load by different pollution source will be estimated in
proportion to the composition of their run-off load with the end view of
reducing such load and complying with DENR set standards and
requirements. Provision of public sewerage systems in the case of
domestic waste, and formulation of operating procedures and
guidelines for the discharge of effluent by industries are means to
improve the water quality level. The study will provide recommendations
including financial requirements to achieve the environmental
objectives of the study area.

TOXIC AND HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT STUDY (THE WASTE
MANAGEMENT)
PROJECT BRIEF With rapid industrialization, pollution from THS is already a significant
environmental problem in the area. Due to lack of sufficient data on
existing industries, expected THS waste generation cannot be
calculated so as to draw up measures for safe treatment and disposal
facilities. The study will also include a review of on-site liquid and
sludge disposal facilities and of the waste handling of each firm in the
study area. Based on the result of the study, it will formulate a
monitoring program, which will provide the basis for the design and
the support for the identified need of a centralized treatment and
disposal facility.

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

7.1.1 Roads and Bridges

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

o Expressway
Binan is traversed by the SLEX with exits in Carmona, Southwoods and Mamplasan
making it highly accessible to vehicular traffic and transport of goods and services.
The east west CALAX superhighway will start in Barangay Mamplasan going to Emilio
Aguinaldo Highway in Imus, Cavite, an arterial road intended to alleviate traffic in the
SLEX.

o Railway
The PNR currently operates a commuter line from Tutuban, Manila to Cabuyao,
Laguna. But the construction and rehabilitation of the railway lines will be
implemented through the North South Rail Project (NSRP) with three components:

 The commuter train from Tutuban to Calamba;

 The Tutuban long haul passenger line going to Legaspi, Bicol;
 Spur railway line going to Batangas Port.
 There will be a railway terminal station in Biñan located at Barangay San
Vicente.

7.1.2 Social Infrastructure

Social infrastructure refers to physical assets and facilities that aid the delivery of social
services such as schools, classrooms, hospitals, health units and day care centers.

o Education
Over the past years, there was an increase in the number of classrooms in Biñan
funded through the Local School Board (LSB) program on school building program
funded by the Special Education Fund (SEF). Classrooms constructed can also be
funded in the Public-Private Partnership School Infrastructure Project (PSIP), the K to 12
Program and the Bottom- Up Budgeting (BUB).
The implementation of Senior High School (SHS) started in 2016 is the last mile of the K
to 12 Basic Education Program. To meet the classroom demand of the additional two
years in high school, SHS buildings were also constructed.

To cope with the increasing admission in public elementary and secondary schools,
the following table shows the growing need for school buildings and classrooms:

o Health
Biñan has a public secondary community hospital with a bed capacity of 100 It
complemented by private hospitals with tertiary or medical center level capability
such as Perpetual Help and Biñan Doctors.

o Social Welfare

77

Downloaded by Secret Admirer (triciapadre@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

The Barangays are mandated to provide basic social welfare services like Health
Stations, Day Care Center, among others. However, only a few have these kind of
building facilities such that there is need to provide multi-purpose buildings.

o Protective Services
It very likely in the future that the protective services agencies such as the PNP, BFP
and BJMP will need additional land and buildings to be effective and efficient in
crime suppression, accommodating detainees and fire-fighting. It appears there is a
need to establish satellite firefighting services in strategic barangays with emergency
vehicles augmented by the private companies. The detention cell located in
Poblacion must be relocated in appropriate area.

7.1.3 Sewerage
o Sewage is generated by residential, institutional, commercial and industrial
establishments. It includes household waste from toilets, baths, showers, kitchens and
sinks draining into sewers. In some countries, sewage also includes liquid waste from
industry and commerce. In the US and Europe, the separation and draining of
household waste into greywater and blackwater are being practiced with the
treated greywater being permitted to be used for watering plants or recycled for
flushing toilets.

o Sewage treatment is the process of removing contaminants from waste water mostly
from household sewage. It includes physical, chemical and biological processes to
remove these contaminants and produce environmentally safer treated waste water
or effluent. A byproduct of waste water treatment is semi solid waste called sewage
sludge that has to undergo further treatment before being suitable for disposal or
land application. Storm water runoff may be part of the treatment to remove
contaminants including soil particles, heavy metals organic compounds, animal
waste, oil and grease.

o The Biñan Sewage Water Treatment can be located in appropriate location where
sewage water can travel towards treatment plants via piping and in a flow aided by
gravity and pumps. The first part of filtration of sewage typically includes a bar screen
to filter solids and large objects which are then collected in dumpsters and disposed
of in landfills.

o Fat and grease is also removed before the primary treatment of sewage, secondary,
tertiary through filtration, lagoons or ponds, biological nutrient removal, nitrogen
removal, phosphorus removal, disinfection using chlorination, ultraviolet and ozone
application. The fourth treatment stage is the removal of pharmaceuticals,
household chemicals, or pesticides that will lead to water pollution. Odor control is
part of the treatment process.

o The establishment of an appropriate scale or capacity of the Biñan Sewage

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

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

7.1.4 Telecommunication, Cable TV, Broadband, Postal, Courier, Print Media

o Intelco has the franchise to operate telephone services in Biñan since the1960s but
has no direct dialing services to Metro Manila and the provinces. With the entry of
PLDT in the 1970s, land line telephone services were provided and expanded with
direct subscription line. Soon Globe, Smart and Digitel followed suit with mobile
phone and broadband internet services.

o As the city modernizes, it is linked to world through the facilities of satellite based
cable television providers such as Cignal, Skycable, Royal Cable and Dream TV with
local and international television programs such as CNN, BBC, Al Jazeera, TV France,
Fox TV, HBO, Discovery Channels, others.

o The internet provided opportunities for growth of on line social media like Facebook
that makes post office services obsolete in sending messages. Courier services in
sending money, letters, packages are the new lifestyle of urban life. There are no
broadcast stations and newspaper circulating except the tabloids printed in the
Region and newsletters in high end villages.

7.1.5 Information Technology and Business Process Management (IT BPM).

o Biñan needs to strengthen its Information Communication Technology (ICT)
infrastructure especially the broadband connection and to provide faster
communications for business processes and disaster risk information dissemination.
Despite the use of installed telephone lines by PLDT which must expand the area
coverage of the fiber optic lines, there is a huge demand for wireless phone
subscription as customers are shifting to wireless telephones or mobile phones. The
benefits are in costs, affordability, flexibility and accessibility. The number of tower cell
sites with broadband or internet connections has to increase. For smarter Biñan, it will
require faster and reliable internet connection for the transmission of large amounts
of data for daily personal transactions and business services for IT BPM industry.

o For this purpose, we have identified the best possible growth areas for the said
industry in the Southwoods Business Center spearheaded by the Megaworld with
dedicated buildings for the voice and non-voice services to start the IT BPM industry
of Biñan. Megaworld in Eastwood, Quezon City has done it. One Asia Business Center
within the Jubilation complex can also have locator companies involved in voice
and non-voice services. This significant development will place Biñan in the radar of
the Next Wave City program of the DTI, DOST and the Business Processing Association
of the Philippines (BPAP) for promotion, marketing and technical assistance.
o Appropriate fiscal and non-fiscal incentives in the Investment Code of Biñan are
needed to foster the growth of the IT BPM industry including the home-based
operation of small players. There is a need for sufficient number of quality talent for
further skills development especially English communication graduates of academic
institutions in Biñan knowing the selective hiring practices of companies such as
Convergys, Teletech, IBM, People Support, others.

7.1.6 Water Service Provider

o Except for some upland Barangays, Laguna Water, a subsidiary of Ayala owned
Manila Water has been providing potable water extracted from the Matangtubig
spring in Cabuyao distributed in its concessionaire areas in Cabuyao, Santa Rosa and
Biñan. Some residential subdivisions have deep well contained in elevated water

79

Downloaded by Secret Admirer (triciapadre@gmail.com)

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

tanks while some low income families still use shallow wells for household uses. Big
companies in the industrial estates extract bulk water deep beneath the ground with
permits from the National Water Regulatory Board (NWRB).

Bulk Water Supply from Laguna Lake

o Currently, ground water is being used as source of potable water by residents,
commercial and industrial establishments which are not sustainable 20 to 30 years
from now that may result in water crisis/stress. Ground subsidence, sink holes and
liquefaction have been experienced in several countries extracting huge quantity of
ground water that can happen also in parts of the country like Laguna, Biñan and
Santa Rosa.

o Laguna Lake with too much surplus water especially during the monsoon season
inundates the coastal cities and municipalities in Laguna and Rizal dislocating the
residents and affecting the livelihood of people especially the low-income families
and small fishermen. During the dry season, the lake water recedes but still
replenished by rivers, streams and springs around Laguna especially the Matang
Tubig spring in Cabuyao, Bucal spring in Calamba and Malinao spring in Majayjay.

o The answer to the twin problems mentioned above is to extract bulk water coming
from Laguna Lake, treat them to remove the contaminants using cutting edge
technology and sold to private water concessionaires such as Laguna Water, Manila
Water, Maynilad Water and water districts for use by the residents, business and
industries.

o Laguna Lake, the largest fresh water lake in Southeast Asia has a total surface area
of 84,000 hectares (900 square kilometers) with a water holding capacity of about 2.9
billion cubic meters. The total area of the watershed and lake proper is 3,813. 2
square kilometers with 22 major river sub basins around Laguna and Rizal. Ground
water also seeps out to Laguna Lake or discharges into streams which flow out to the
Lake. However, the Lake and its watersheds as protected areas with critical
environmental conditions must be sustained in the long term.

o The Paranaque and Pacific Spillway Projects will not be as cost effective if studies
undertaken as putting up this Laguna Lake Bulk Water Treatment facilities in strategic
areas of Laguna and Rizal that will answer the wanton extraction of limited ground
water resources and perennial flooding problems of coastal communities.

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

7.1.8 Bus Transport Company

o Biñan since the 1950s have been the hub of transport companies that travels to
Metro Manila, and the Calabarzon Provinces such as the BLTB buses. Many bus
companies today with transport terminals in Biñan have changed company names

80

 lOMoARcPSD|32826889

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

from Biñan Transit, Southern Bus, Laguna Transit, among others, many of them made
in Biñan particularly the Almazora Bus Body Builder, maker of Jardinera design. The
most visible bus companies now are JAM, JAC Liner, TRITRAN and BBL. Many modern
air conditioned buses were imported from Korea, Japan and Taiwan.

7.2 Key Issues and Concerns

o The national road in Biñan is experiencing traffic congestion due to heavy volume of
vehicles despite the widening undertaken and the relocation of obstructive utility
posts. Quality of road conditions has to be addressed in view of intrusion of water
seepage in pavements and the heavy loaded cargo trucks that ply along the road.
Load limits are not monitored due to the lack of weighing stations in strategic areas.

o Safety concerns along the road also need to be addressed such as flooding,
insufficient lighting and signage. Roads in industrial barangays needs widening,
drainage, lighting and signage. The national highway in the nearby Malvar Road with
traffic lights are traversed by three small roads causing traffic by public vehicles,
private cars, trucks, buses and three wheeled vehicles.

o Biñan needs to strengthen its Information Communication Technology (ICT)

infrastructure especially the broadband connections and to provide faster
communications for business processes and disaster risk information dissemination.
Despite the use of installed telephone (Intelco, PLDT), there is a huge demand for
wireless phone subscription as customers are shifting to wireless telephones or mobile
phones. The benefits are in costs, affordability, flexibility and accessibility. Number of
cell sites with broadband or internet connections has to increase.

o The issue of slow internet connections needs to be resolved as in other places. For
example, DSL has an average internet speed ranging from 1mbps with data capping
limitations and a minimum of 2 - year service contract/lock- in period. For a “Smarter
Biñan”, it will need faster and reliable internet connection for the transmission of large
amounts of data for daily personal transactions and business services for IT BPO
industry.

o Biñan should encourage through the provision of incentives to investors to put up

quality telecommunication infrastructure and office spaces to support the booming IT
BPO industry.

o There is a need to position Biñan for the impending operation of Laguna Lake ferry
boats with terminal stations in Barangays De La Paz and Malaban.

o Contributing to traffic congestion are the big number of motorized and non-
motorized three wheeled vehicles providing convenience to commuters in various
barangays. From those with legitimate franchise to operate, there are colorum
vehicles plying the roads, streets and highway of Biñan. There should be efficient
ways of regulating them.

7.3 Proposed Legislations

o Enactment of Traffic Code
o MOA with DPWH about road construction and improvement.
o Enactment of Flood Control and Drainage Improvement Code.
o Right of Way and Easement Code

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

Engineering designs and estimated costs for the proposed

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

Furthermore, technology transfer for the local staff will be most useful
in addressing future traffic management concerns. It should be noted
that this is crucial for the CLUDP in view of economic growth that is
realized from the development plans.
OBJECTIVES 1.To identify and look into the various traffic flow problems in the

CHAPTER 8
INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN

8.1 Situation Analysis (Issues and Concerns), PPAs and Legislative Agenda

o In order for socio economic development in Biñan to continuously flourish, it must be

complemented with a citizen centered, clean and efficient delivery of public goods and
services.

o Local government reports have been made more publicly available with the
implementation of the RA 9485 or the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 and RA 10155 Section 93
Transparency Seal. Biñan has complied with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP) portal posting as
this is one of the requirements for the availment of loans and conferment of the Seal of Good
Local Governance (SGLG). The FDP encouraged transparency and accountability of
financial and procurement transactions of the LGUs.

o The DILG mandated all LGUs to submit their respective ELA and AIPs. The ELA contains the
priority programs, projects and activities (PPAs) to be implemented within their 3 year term of
office based on the CDP, while the AIP is a tool to rationalize the utilization of resources.

o The DILG and the DTI are mandated to validate all LGUs who are compliant with the
standard number of signatories for both new and renewal applicants and consistent with the
requirements of the ARTA in the BPLS.

o The CSC are required by law to engage civil society organizations (CSOs) in crafting
programs and projects that will ensure inclusivity of the marginalized sector.

o Cities had to undergo the Citizen Satisfaction Index Survey (CSIS) which measures public
service delivery of the LGUs according to the awareness, experience and perception of
citizens. To promote gender equality, the RDC through its Gender and Development
Committee, initiated the Calabarzon Outstanding GAD Implementer Award to recognize
outstanding performance of different institutions in upholding the rights of women and
mainstreaming gender.

o The Gawad Kalasag is the country’s premier annual awards for outstanding contribution in
the fields of disaster risk reduction and management, and humanitarian assistance. It is the
principal mechanism through which the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
(DRRM) Council advances awareness of the best practices on DRRM and humanitarian
response and action.

o The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) has initiated the CMCI to rank the
competitiveness of cities, municipalities and provinces based on their economic dynamism,
government efficiency and infrastructure facilities.

However, it has achieved a debt service ratio with term loans from government
financing institutions particularly the Land Bank of the Philippines (LBP).

The prospect of increased income in the years to come are bright through tax collection
efficiency in real properties and business with the tax payments moratorium expiration of
PEZA registered companies operating in Biñan.

The City Government gives recognition to companies especially those paying substantial
business tax and license, real property tax, franchise tax and amusement taxes.

FOOD TERMINAL “BAGSAKAN” CENTER

Rationale and Concept of Food Terminal Center in Biñan

The Food “Bagsakan” Terminal in Biñan would be an agro-industrial-commercial estate of
choice in the Western Laguna Sub Cluster to include San Pedro, Biñan, Santa Rosa, Cabuyao,
Calamba, Los Baños and Bay. This cluster is part of the Calabarzon Regional Development and
Physical Framework Plan, 2004 - 2030. Under the said Plan, Biñan is positioned to expand its
traditional trading center function to include major commercial and whole sale trading to serve
nearby towns as well as Metro Manila’s wholesale buyers. It shall have commercial lots for
leasing, buildings for warehouse and small scale processing operations. It shall engage in food
trading, processing and storage catering to the needs of food producers, manufacturers,
exporters and other sectors in the food industry.

Geographic Location and Availability of Land

The available industrial and commercial lands situated either in Mamplasan, Timbao and Loma
can be the ideal site of the Terminal Complex. Mamplasan use of land is 15 percent commercial
and 40 percent industrial especially in the LIIP areas. Timbao has more than 15 hectares of large
undeveloped tracks of land owned by the families of Puyat. Loma also have available lands
owned by the Tamayo and Laperal families in the vicinity of the Laguna Technopark intended
for commercial and industrial uses. Due diligence study should determine the best location of
the Terminal Complex.

Road Access, Power, Transport, Telcos

The planned improvement of the Binan road network infrastructure particularly the road loop will
be a big help in the business development of Biñan. The CALAX Road will traverse the
Mamplasan, Timbao, Loma, Bo. Biñan going to the Cavite Province. SLEX goes all the way to
Batangas. Going south, National Highway will reach the second and third district from the first
district of Laguna. The PNR South Line will have train stations from Tutuban to Calamba then Bicol
Provinces including a spur line railroad route to Batangas Port.

The San Vicente Train Station should be expanded to accommodate freight cargoes coming
from Manila, Laguna, Quezon, Batangas and Bicol Provinces. The road and rail infrastructures will
effect greater connectivity and fast mobility of goods and services. The operation of the ferry
boat system in Laguna Lake in the near future will be a component of the inter-modal transport
system.

The power supply is reliable and more than adequate 24/7 distributed by Meralco under the
Makiling-Banahao Grid lines. Transport facilities of buses, jeepneys and cargo trucks covers the
entire provinces of Calabarzon. Landlines, mobile cellpnones, and broadband communications
of the internet and cable TV companies are available.

Biñan: 2018-2024 Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP)

CHAPTER 10
IMPLEMENTATION, FUNDING, MONITORING AND
EVALUATION MECHANISM
The Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) is the principal instrument for implementing
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP). It is a
document that translates the CLUP and CDP into programs, projects and activities (PPAs) and
selects those that will be picked up by the City Government for funding in the annual general
fund budget or through special fund generation schemes.

The CLUP and CDP 2018-2027 Investment Program serves as the link between the plan and the
budget, thus putting into effect the directive of the Local Government Code that says: “local
budgets shall operationalize approved local development plans” (Section 305 (i), RA 7160. The
Executive Legislative Agenda (ELA) consisting of programs, projects and activities (PPAs) is three
years coinciding with the tenure of office of the Local Chief Executive. Its annual component is
what is referred to as the Annual Investment Program (AIP).
The LDIP consists of impact short term projects, medium term and long term projects in the
Master Plan. There is an array of potential sources of funds such as the following:

 LGU funds (projected amount of funds for capital outlay and the surplus funds of the
preceding year).
 Potential local borrowing from GFIs and commercial banks.
 Potential grants from various government agencies (Executing Agencies, Provincial
Government, Congressional Funds).
 Potential grants from international funding institutions such as JICA, ADB, World Bank,
AUSAID, USAID, CDIA, others.
 Potential private sector participation arrangements such as JV, BOT and its variants.

Implementation Mechanism
The implementing mechanism will be the rationalized Planning, Programming and Budgeting
System (PPBS) integrating the CLUP, CDP, LDIP/Master Plan, ELA and AIP with funds allocation
from the General Fund and Special Fund of the City Government including foreign funds, if there
are any.

Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E)

Local development planning is a cyclical process involving coordination in implementation
including the monitoring and evaluation of the programs, projects and activities. It involves
tracking of programs and projects that gets implemented with budget allocation, assessing the
inputs such as the efficiency in the utilization of funds and the attainment of the goals and
objectives in terms of output, outcome and desired impact. Also, the identification of issues,
problems and concerns particularly slippages and shortcomings are part of monitoring and
evaluation during the planning and implementation stages.

The DILG has the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) Framework of the City Government
specifically the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) including the format to be used. It involves
determining the gaps, issues and concerns in meeting the objectives and program thrusts vis a
vis the accomplishments and its benefits and impact.
