1.0. COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLANNING IN THE CITY OF ANTIPOLO
In August of 2013, a Technical Working Group composed of members of various departments and
offices of the City Government was formed for the purpose of updating the City’s Comprehensive
Development Plan /Executive Legislative Agenda (2014-2016) aligned in the strategies and thrusts of
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2010-2020) which was crafted in 2010. This was the first venture
of the City Government to do an in-house plan considering the reorganized multidisciplinary team of
the City Government of Antipolo in general and the City Planning and Development Office (CPDO)
in particular.
1.1. POLICY CONSIDERATIONS
In the preparation of the Comprehensive Development Plan 2014-2016, the following national,
regional, and provincial framework plans were taken into consideration especially in the
reformulation of the City’s vision and goals.
Doing this ensures that the city’s vision and goals are in tune with the higher level plans.
1.1.1 National Framework Plans And Other Policy Considerations
1.1.1.1. Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP)
 RPFP intends to promote and establish a self-sustaining economic structure within the context of
an agro-industrial type of development
o Modernize agricultural sector

o Develop the urban sector
o Strengthen the interrelationships of the agriculture and urban sectors
 RPFP adopts two major spatial development strategies:
o Linear Urban Growth Corridor-cum-Agro-modernization Strategy
- This strategy shall be implemented within the first 15-year period of the 30-year plan
period
- Channel and limit industrial and population growth in selected urban growth corridor
cities and municipalities to control urban sprawl in the municipalities nearest Metro
Manila
- Improve and upgrade public facilities within these corridors to approximate urban
standards and to make the growth corridors an attractive catch basin for industrial and
commercial expansion.
o Integrated System of Growth Centers Strategy
- To be implemented in the second stage of the RPFP (2015-2020)

- Assumes that development of the urban growth corridor would have been optimized
- Urban growth would be more favorable if it could be concentrated at focal points, where
economies of scale and agglomeration would yield greater benefits
- Establishment of growth centers in strategic places to form a functional hierarchy
 Identify regional growth center, provincial service center, satellite towns

 The Plan identifies Antipolo as subregional or provincial service center – the growth
of Antipolo will promote the development of the other towns of Rizal
 Antipolo shall serve as the commercial, industrial and residential center for Rizal;
will also be the center for employment and shall provide the major types of services
to Rizal’s growing population
 Rizal Growth Corridor – the Plan recommends development to be channeled toward:
o San Mateo and Teresa where there are ample space for industrial expansion;
o Cainta, Taytay and Antipolo must control urban expansion and instead focus on urban
management to include urban rehabilitation or renewal.
 RPFP recognizes the importance of the Marikina Infanta Road, but recommends only low density
development along the road to protect the Marikina Watershed from further encroachment
1.1.1.2. CALABARZON Master Plan
 Aims to develop the Southern Tagalog provinces into an industrial area that will act as catalyst for
the development of Region IV
 Plan incorporates 2-pronged strategy:
o Focus on agricultural development – to make the sub-region the supplier of agricultural and
agri-related products needed by Metro Manila
o Promotion of export-oriented industrialization – to process the area’s raw materials and
absorb the labor expected to flow into the sub-region
 Plan aims to develop regional agro-industrial centers (RAICs) that will be economically linked to
the rural areas
 Rizal to be developed as the Rizal suburban industrial area
 Role of Antipolo and other similar towns will be changed from that of “bedroom communities” to
absorber of industrial overspill; agro-forestry, agro-processing, small and medium enterprise
(SMEs) like handicrafts, etc. will be encouraged
 Major infrastructure support is the Marikina-Infanta Road
1.1.1.3. MARILAQUE / RIZLAQUE Development Framework Plan (EO 197, Aug 29, 1994)
 Objectives
o Creation of “new towns” to decongest Metro Manila

o Forging of new economic linkages with eastern Luzon
o Promotion of resource-oriented industries
o Physical integration of geographically isolated towns
o Maintenance of ecological balance
 Spatial strategy : “Eastern Trident Growth Corridor” – features the development of a chain or
cluster of municipalities at urban growth centers along major transport routes: development starts
from eastern Metro Manila and the central portion of Rizal, northward to Aurora, further east to
Real, Infanta, and Nakar (REINA) and the Polillo Island group southward to the Atimonan-
Calauag area
 Rizal Growth Area: 2 functional districts to be formed
o Metro Rizal: Antipolo, San Mateo, Rodriguez, Cainta, Taytay, Angono, Teresa
o Sierra Rizal: Tanay, Baras, Pililia, Jalajala, Cardona, Binangonan, Morong
o Antipolo as designated center of Metro Rizal and shall provide for the services needed by its
satellite municipalities; shall serve as the administrative center of the province; in the long-
term, shall serve as the trade and service center for industry.
1.1.1.4. Regional Tourism Master Plan for Southern Tagalog (Region IV)
 Three best areas for tourism development
o Antipolo as a conference center (1st)

o Angono as a center for arts and culture
o Talim Island as a potential site for a Theme Park
 Plan cites the presence of numerous mountain resorts-cum-conference centers in Brgy. Sta. Cruz,
Antipolo City.
 Plan recommends the rehabilitation of the Hinulugang Taktak Falls to restore the glory of
Antipolo as a popular mountain resort
1.1.1.5. Provincial Physical Framework Plan (PPFP) for the Province of Rizal
 Division of Rizal into two districts:
o Metro Rizal – western section, closer to MM

o Sierra Rizal – eastern portion, closer to the Sierra Madre mountain range
 Antipolo and Tanay – will serve as the district centers for satellite towns and market centers
 Antipolo as the administrative and service & economic center of the province
 PPFP anticipates a growth corridor along Marikina-Infanta Road and the establishment of growth
centers in Boso-Boso and Sitio Pinugay
o Boso-Boso as a local service center

o Sitio Pinugay will be ideal for industrial estate development
1.1.1.6. Marikina Watershed Reservation and Rehabilitation
 Established in 1904, Executive Order No. 33 paved the way for the identification of the Marikina
Watershed Reservation to protect the Marikina River, being the most important source of water
supply for the City of Manila and to ensure water supply of the City;
 Watershed reservation practically occupies the entire eastern half of the City of Antipolo;
 Restoration and maintenance of vegetative cover through intensive restoration activities;
 Creation of a wildlife habitat that would enhance the natural aesthetic qualities of the area and
develop its potential for recreation and tourism.
1.1.1.7. Circumferential Road 6 Project
 C-6 will form part of the Metro Manila Toll way

 Outermost Circumferential Road in the entire road network of Metro Manila
 Will alleviate worsening traffic condition along with major arteries particularly along C-4
(EDSA) and along the former Manila South Expressway from Alabang to Manila.
1.1.1.8. Marikina Infanta Road
 Development corridor to the Lungsod Silangan Project, envisioned to become an urban,

commercial, industrial and upland agricultural area;
 Major infrastructure project of the CALABARZON Development Plan
 Upgrading the route to a four (4) lane highway with a 60m Road Right of Way
 MIR is expected to open up the still underdeveloped eastern part of Luzon as well as attracting
trade from across the Pacific.
1.1.1.9. Light Rail Transit (LRT) Phase II
 LRT Line II will continue from Santolan to Masinag, which will eventually extend to Cogeo Gate
II;
 There will be three (3) terminals (Sta. Inez, Masinag and Cogeo)
 It is expected that the project will boost the efficiency of the transportation system for the
commuting public and will ease the traffic along this area
1.1.1.10. Laiban Dam
 The proposed project is aimed at harnessing water from the Kaliwa River in Tanay to provide
industrial and domestic water as well as power to Metro Manila and Rizal Province;
 It will serve as a water treatment plant, a filtration plant and a distribution system consisting of
five (5) pumping stations.
1.1.1.11. Silangan Railway Express 2000
 The Silangan Railway Express, also known as the MARILAQUE Railway Project, involves the
construction of a new 95-kilometer railway that would link Manila to - Manggahan Floodway –
Taytay – Darangan - Tanay, passing through Cardona, Morong and Baras.
 The railway will link the Manila settlements to General Nakar.
1.1.1.12. Various Road Projects
In support of the RPFP, CALABARZON Master Plan, MARILAQUE Development Plan and PPFP,
the following road projects are expected to reinforce the role of Antipolo as the administrative and
economic center for the province of Rizal:
 Concreting of Kaysipot Road. The immediate improvement and concreting of this road will
facilitate movement between the Antipolo Poblacion and the proposed local service center at
Boso-Boso.
 Concreting of Morong (Lagundi) - Pinugay Road. This 5-meter road is concreted in its sloping
portions, while the other portions are gravel surfaced. The concreting of the whole length will
make the road an important artery to the Marikina - Infanta Road, particularly at its Pinugay
portion where an industrial estate is being proposed.
 Concreting of Tanay - Pinugay Road. This 12-kilometer road on rugged terrain is also another
access road from Tanay to the proposed Pinugay Industrial Estate and the Marikina - Infanta
Road. Concreting the road will open up space for development.
 Concreting of Baras - Pinugay Road. This 6-kilometer road is mostly earth and gravel, with some
portions asphalted. Improvement of this road will enhance access to the proposed Pinugay
Industrial Estate, and to the upland production areas.
 Concreting of Teresa (May-lba) - Pinugay Road. This 7-kilometer road of gravel and earth is
deteriorating and suffering from pavement side erosion. The improvement of this road will
facilitate linkage between Pinugay and the town of Teresa.
 Improvement of Boso-Boso - San Mateo Road. The improvement of the 15-kilometer Boso-Boso
- San Mateo Road will provide easy access to the towns of Teresa, Baras and Morong without
passing through congested Marikina. This will complement the proposed Fairview-San Mateo
Road in opening up Rizal's northern portion to development. The estimated cost of the project is
P8.75 million.
 Concreting of Angono - Antipolo Road. This road will greatly reduce travel time between
Angono and Antipolo. It is approximately 6 kilometers in length. About 2 kilometers are
already concreted, while the remaining 4 kilometers are gravel-surfaced. The concreting of the
gravel-surfaced portion is estimated to cost P18 million pesos.
 Construction of Darangan - Antipolo Road. With an approximate length of 10 kilometers, the

proposed road will complement the Angono - Antipolo Road in reducing the volume of traffic in
the Manila East Road.
 Construction of Pintong Bukawe - Rodriguez Road. To complete the circulation system of the
Antipolo cellular economy, the Pintong Bukawe Road will be extended to the Poblacion of
Rodriquez.
 Construction of Sta. Ines - Puray Road. The Sta. Ines Road along Laiban Dam reservoir will be
extended north, meeting the San Isidro Road, through the urbanizable Iands of Antipolo, and
finally to Puray in Rodriguez. This will be a long road winding through hilly areas and intended
to create a province-wide circulation system and to open up the resources of Northeastern Rizal.
1.2. LEGAL MANDATES OF THE LOCAL GOVERNMENT
Section 20 (c) of the Local Government Code of 1991 (LGC) provides that “the local government
units shall, in conformity with existing laws, continue to prepare their respective comprehensive land
use plans enacted through zoning ordinances which shall be the primary and dominant bases for the
future use of land resources. Provided, that the requirements for food, production, human settlements,
and industrial expansion shall be taken into consideration in the preparation of such plan”.
This provision is further affirmed by another pertinent provision in the Code particularly Section 458
(2), Items vi, vii & ix, which mandates the Sangguniang Panlungsod to “prescribe reasonable limits
and restraints on the use of property within the jurisdiction of the city”; “adopt a comprehensive
land use plan for the city…” and “enact integrated zoning ordinances in consonance with the
approved comprehensive land use plan, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations; establish fire
limits or zones, particularly in populous centers; and regulate the construction, repair and
modification of buildings within said fire limits or zones in accordance with the provisions of the Fire
Code”, respectively.
Regarding the preparation of the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), the Code has stressed the
role of the Local Development Council as provided for under Section 106 which states that “each
local government unit shall have a comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan to be
initiated by its development council and approved by its sanggunian…”
1.3. SECTORAL CONCERNS
In the preparation of the CDP, the five (5) development sectors were considered to come up with a
comprehensive plan. Each sector is discussed according to the current situation, key issues and
concerns, objectives, targets and proposed Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) including Policy
Complementation. An abstract of the five development sectors is provided hereunder:
1.3.1. Social Development Sector
The people is the object and subject of development and therefore, it is deemed necessary for any
local government to provide the basic social needs of the people via the Social Sector Development
Plan embodied in the CDP. It is concerned with changes in the area or community relative to the:
social characteristics of the area; population; overall quality of life; availability of and access to social
services; and social justice.
Social Sector focuses mainly on the following subsectors of social development:
 Demography
 Health and Nutrition
 Education and Culture
 Housing and Utilities
 Protective Services
 Social Welfare Services [women and children, youth, elderly and people with disabilities
(PWDs), indigenous people (IPs)
1.3.2. Economic Development Sector
The Economic Development Sector is mainly concerned with directing the economic prime movers of
the City. Its subsectors include: primary (extraction and production of raw materials), secondary
(transformation of raw/intermediate materials into goods) and tertiary (provision of services to
consumers and businesses) economic activities of a local government unit.
It is also concerned with the following general welfare goals:
 Encourage and support the development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific and
technological capabilities
 Economic prosperity
 Full employment promotion
 Food self-sufficiency
1.3.3. Environmental Development Sector
Environmental Management sector is concerned with:
 Ensuring that the proper measures to safeguard and conserve land, minerals, marine, forest and
other resources are enacted by the Sanggunian Panlungsod and enforced by the Local Chief
Executive.
 Sanitary condition of buildings and premises
 Regulate consumption, use and wastage of water
 Construction, repair, and maintenance of public drains, sewers and the like
 Efficient and effective system of solid waste and garbage collection and disposal
This sector also focused on the discussion of the Environmental Assessment:
Pressure – State – Response (P-S-R)
Pressure pertains to the different demands by human society on a given ecosystem for their survival
and well-being.
State refers to the existing conditions of the ecosystem as a result of the application of human
pressures as well as threats, human and natural, to the very survival of the ecosystem itself.
Response includes existing mitigation, rehabilitation, protection and conservation measures that
human society has so far devised to ensure the sustainable use and serviceability of the ecosystem.
1.3.4. Infrastructure and Utilities Sector
The Infrastructure and Utilities Sector is concerned with providing adequate physical base for social
and economic development for the current and projected requirements. It has the following
subsectors:
 Roads and Transport

 Support Services (Social, Economic, Environment and Institutional)
1.3.5. Institutional Sector
The Institutional Sector is likened to a calyx of a flower that holds all the other sectors together. It is
mainly concerned with the operations of the Local Government dealing with the following subsectors:
 Local Fiscal Management
 Organization and Management
 Legislative Output
 NGO/PO/CSO Linkages
1.4. METHODOLOGIES
The CDP had been made possible through the use of the following methods:
 Review of Higher Plans. Data, data analysis and maps in the Ecological Profile and
Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the LGU were used as references, in consideration of the CDP’s
role as the implementing arm and action plan of the CLUP.
 Barangay Mapping. The community or barangay mapping was done from November to
December 2009 for the purpose of mapping critical infrastructures both existing and proposed as
well as the existing land uses in the planning area. It was done in all the sixteen (16) barangays of
the City.
 Participatory Rural Appraisal, Focused Group Discussion and Face to Face Interviews. This
was also done during the conduct of Barangay Mapping. Group discussions from among the
stakeholders were performed with focus on the current issues and concerns of the stakeholders.
 Data Collecting Agents. These are usually secondary data coming from the internet.
 Sectoral development issues and concerns. The various sectoral issues and concerns,
implications and possible solutions were drawn with the aid of the intra- and inter-area and inter-
sectoral analyses performed during the CLUP preparation. The “Problem-Solution Finding”
analysis were also included.
 Sectoral development objectives and targets. The CDP goals and targets were mainly based on
the long-term scenarios of the CLUP. Useful inputs were drawn from the vision and goals of the
CLUP, vision-reality gap and general welfare goals.
 Formulation of sectoral strategies and policies. They refer to the principles and values that
guide the formulation and implementation of sectoral programs and projects. These principles
were taken from relevant policies of the CLUP and City Ordinances.
 Formulation of sectoral programs and projects. Programs and projects necessary to realize the
objectives and achieve the targets of the sector and sub-sectors are identified.
1.5. STAKEHOLDERS
The preparation/updating of the CDP involved a multi-sectoral group of individuals with varied
interests and expertise to make the CDP comprehensive. Among the actors involved are as follows:
 Local Development Council. The highest local special body in an LGU mandated to formulate
the CDP and Investment Programs of the City.
 City Council. The members of the City Council were also consultred to provide the legislative
complementation for the updating of the plan.
 City Planning and Development Office (Sectoral Coordinators). This is the secretariat of the
LDC composed of the City Planning and Development Coordinator and five (5) sectoral
representatives from the City Planning and Development Office.
 Departments/Programs Heads of the City Government. The Heads of departments and programs
provide critical socio-economic data and other pertinent documents relative to the formulation of
the CDP.
 Barangay Officials. Critical data from the grassroots are supplied by the barangays. These data
had been most useful during the conduct of the barangay-based mapping activities.
 Sitio Coordinators. They are the group leaders of various sitios in the City who had been
consulted during the conduct of the barangay-based mapping.
 Non- Government Organizations. These non-government organizations (NGOs) represent the

private sector group who also has a large stake in development.
 National Government Agencies. Like the departments and programs of the City Government, the
NGAs are also a rich source of information in various sectors of development.
Chapter 2
Comprehensive Development Plan and

Comprehensive Land Use Plan Integration
2.1. The Six Identified Growth Centers

 Poblacion as Tourism Center
 Masinag as Major Commercial Business District
 Gate 2 Cogeo as Minor Commercial Business District
 Pinugay as Agro-Industrial Center
 Cabading as New Administrative Center
 Boso-Boso as Local Service Center
2.0. COMPREHENSIVE DEVELOPMENT PLAN (CDP) AND COMPREHENSIVE LAND
USE PLAN (CLUP) INTEGRATION
Although the CLUP and the CDP may be prepared in an iterative way, it is highly desirable that the
CLUP be completed ahead of the CDP. This is to ensure that the location policies in the CLUP will
guide the identification, screening and prioritization of programs and projects in the CDP.
Considering that some public investments, especially of the “hard project” type, have a powerful
impact on the long-term structuring of the built environment and on land use change in general, such
projects should be properly screened to ensure that they are in consonance with, if not actually
supportive of the preferred spatial strategy for the community (Serote, E. 2006).
For the City of Antipolo, six (6) identified growth centers are likely to have great impact in the over-
all development of the City. Listed hereunder are the identified growth areas with a brief discussion of
each.
2.1. SIX GROWTH CENTERS
2.1.1. Poblacion
One of the growth centers in the City of Antipolo is the Poblacion. It is the old urban center and the
City’s administrative and tourism center. The Poblacion will always be the City’s major or premier
tourism center due to the presence of the old government center and the Antipolo Cathedral, the
pilgrimage hub.
Considering the various developments occurring in the City, including the development of a new
Administrative Center in Sitio Cabading, the Poblacion may be relegated to a minor role as a
secondary service center yet retaining its primary role as a tourism center due to the presence of
tourist spots and other tourist attractions in its vicinity.
2.1.2. Masinag
Masinag in Brgy. Mayamot is the second identified growth center. It can be considered as the Central
Business District (CBD) considering its strategic location relative to Metro Manila and as a catchment
for the spillover of urbanization from the Metropolis. The Masinag junction is predicted to become a
major urban center due to its strategic role as an inter-modal transport hub triggered by the proposed
construction of the LRT Line 2 and the high intensity commercial development in the area as well as
the presence of large residential subdivisions around it.
2.1.3. Gate 2 (COGEO)
Not far from the Masinag junction, about 4.9 kilometers meters away, is the City’s third growth
center. Commonly called Gate 2 within the COGEO area, it is Antipolo’s Minor Commercial Center
characterized by medium density commercial activities and a high-density residential development.
The growth of this area is primarily due to the increasing demand for service-oriented businesses to
serve the needs of a large residential population around the area. Over time, additional commercial or
shopping areas are expected to be built within this growth center.
2.1.4. Pinugay
The fourth growth area is Pinugay, identified as the Agro-Industrial Center for the city due to the
availability of large tracts of underutilized grasslands for industrial development. Pinugay’s potential
for industrial development is due mainly to its strategic location as well as the presence of
infrastructure to support it. Caution however has to be exercised in its development to protect its
environmental integrity due to its sensitive ecosystem.
Pinugay’s distinct advantage is it proximity to the Marikina Infanta Road, a major trade route that
shall serve as an economic catalyst for the transport of goods from the area to Metro Manila or to the
city’s neighboring towns. The industrial development of Pinugay will also trigger eastward movement
of people due to employment opportunities that will be generated. Because of this, Antipolo’s sphere
of economic influence will extend beyond its geographical boundaries and this development will
reinforce Antipolo’s role as an economic center for Rizal Province.
2.1.5. Cabading
The development of Cabading as an Administrative Center will spur growth and development in the
eastern part of the city. The concept of a new town development shall be a major undertaking by the
City Government to distribute equitably social services and economic benefits to the population in
that part of the city and to create a concentric administrative base for an efficient public service
delivery.
2.1.6. Boso-Boso
The industrial development of Pinugay and resultant employment opportunities will eventually create
a demand for services and commercial activities to support the needs of the population of the area.
The nearby Boso-Boso will eventually be a potential Local Service Center because of the industrial
development in the Pinugay area. Aside from its terrain that is ideal for urban development, Boso-
Boso’s proximity to the Marikina-Infanta Road, which is considered a major transport route toward
Quezon Peninsula, will be an advantage.

Development Goals, Objectives and

Target Setting
3.1 City’s Vision and Mission

3.2 Vision Elements, Descriptors and Success Indicators
3.3 Vision – Reality Gap
3.1. CITY OF ANTIPOLO’S VISION AND MISSION
Antipolo is a highly urbanized city in terms of industry classification. It is both rural and urban in
terms of land utilization. This unique character makes development planning for Antipolo more
challenging. Seen below is a glimpse at some of the Antipolo’s rural and urban images:
Figure 2 - Rural Images of Antipolo City
Figure 3 - Urban Image of Antipolo City
In the preparation of this updated Comprehensive Development Plan-Executive Legislative Agenda
(ELA) (2014-2016), stakeholders participating in a 3-day training workshop revisited Antipolo’s
vision to validate whether it is still in consonance with higher-level plans and in-step with the fast-
paced developments transpiring within the city and its surrounding municipalities and cities. The
participating stakeholders saw the need to enhance the 2007-crafted vision statement to align it with
the changing needs of time and with the general thrusts and direction of the new local administration.
Antipolo’s Vision

Social Sector Development Plan

(2014-2016)
4.1. Situational Analysis

4.2. Key Social Issues and Concerns
4.3. Objectives and Targets
4.4. Programs, Projects, and Activities
4.5. Special Programs and Projects
The object and subject of development are the people. It is then critical for local governments to
provide the basic social needs of the people via the Social Sector Development Plan embodied in the
CDP. It is concerned with changes in the area or community relative to: social characteristics of the
area population; overall quality of life; availability of and access to social services; and the
achievement of social justice.
The social sector mainly focuses on the following subsectors of social development:
 Demography
 Health and Nutrition
 Education and Culture
 Housing and Utilities
 Protective Services
 Social Welfare Services (Women and Children, Youth, Elderly and Persons with Disabilities, and
Indigenous People)
4.1. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
To achieve the city’s vision for a God-centered, empowered, and socially responsible citizenry
requires access to basic social needs to enable them to perform their functions and responsibilities to
the society.
4.1.1. Demography
Based on the 2010 Census on Population and Housing (CPH), Antipolo posted a total population of
677,741 persons as of May 1, 2010. This is larger by 206,875 persons compared to its total population
of 470,866 persons counted in the 2000 CPH. This increase in the population count translated to an
average annual population growth rate (PGR) of 4.39 percent. This is lower than the 8.67 percent
annual PGR of the city between the census years 1990 and 2000. It is higher than the provincial
growth rate of 3.82 percent and higher than the national growth rate of 1.90 percent.
The growth rate is not attributable to natural birth. Rather, its major contributor is migration. Due to
Antipolo’s proximity to Metro Manila, it hosts the overspill of Metropolitan Manila’s population.
Of Antipolo’s total population, migration accounts for sixty two per cent. The average household size
of 4.5 households in 2010 vis-a-vis the 4.83 average household size in 2000 shows no significant
impact in the City’s birth control program since only 38% of the populace is attributed to natural
birth. The city government shall give attention to a clear population management policy in terms of
migration.
4.1.2. Health and Nutrition
As of 2012, Antipolo has 30 barangay health stations and 3 health centers including the main
building located at the Poblacion. Manpower wise, fifteen (15) doctors, twenty nine (29) public
health nurses, seven (7) rural sanitary inspectors, ten (10) dentists, thirty two (32) rural health mid-
wives, and two (2) medical technologists serve the health needs of the Antipoleños. The City is
deficient however by 21 doctors, 7 nurses, 29 sanitary inspectors, 14 dentists, 4 midwives and 70
medical technologists. Support from health multipliers (191 barangay nutrition scholars and 65
barangay health workers) continue to augment the needed services.
The city has no public hospital of its own. Nevertheless, a provincial-run district hospital, five private
hospitals, 51 private medical clinics, and 33 health centers served the population in its absence.
Nutrition remains to be a challenge as Antipolo ranked second in malnutrition in CALABARZON.
4.1.3. Education and Culture
Antipolo has a strong advocacy on the value of education. It boasts of an average of 96% literacy
rating from 2008 to 2012 (DepEd Accomplishment Report, 2012).
Infrastructure development in the education sector raised the number of public elementary schools to
45 in 2012. The same number was added at the secondary level to raise the total to 21 in 2012. 240
classrooms were built for the period 2009-2013. In addition, 13 units of makeshift classrooms were
built to augment these classrooms. For teachers serving in the far flung areas, one unit of teachers’
quarter was constructed.
Average classroom to student ratio improved to 1:48 for elementary and 1:52 for the secondary level
from 1:55 and 1:88, respectively in 2004. Teacher to student ratio also improved from a high of 1:55
(2004) to 1:43 (2012) for elementary and 1:46 (2004) to 1:40 (2012) in the secondary level.
Despite these continued developments in the education sector, Antipolo still need 16 instructional
classrooms to reach the ideal or national standard ratio of 1:50 to complement our 133,140
students both in elementary and secondary level.
Eighteen (18) higher education schools, 90 private high school and elementary schools, and 201 day
care centers complement the public schools in serving the education needs of Antipolo’s increasing
population.
4.1.4. Housing and Basic Utilities
The 1987 Constitution mandated LGUs to undertake a continuing program of urban reform and
housing for the underprivileged. To put life to this mandate, Antipolo employs both the Community
Mortgage Program and the Direct Purchase Method to make housing affordable to the less privileged
constituents.
A total of 46 Community Mortgage Program (CMP) Projects were undertaken by the City
Government, with a total of 5,547 families as beneficiaries. Its average collection efficiency rating
of 104.4 percent in 2012 surpassed the national government requirement for LGUs of 75 percent for
CMP projects to be sustainable. For direct purchase, the city government has undertaken a total
of 76 sites. Nine (9) government relocation areas on the other hand, accounts for 1,296 family
beneficiaries. Housing backlogs however is still growing, as the rate of increase in the number of
migrant squatters is speedier than the rate of CMP projects.
Antipolo’s proximity to Metro Manila continuously spurred the growth of the real estate industry. By
2012, there were already 536 subdivisions compared to the 260 subdivisions in 2000. Consequently,
the influx of new residents put a lot of pressure for the city government in the provision of basic
utilities.
4.1.5. Protective Services
Antipolo’s protective services is being rendered by 187 Police personnel (CPDO Facts and Figures,
2012) for a projected population of 765,828 (2012). This is being augmented by 339 members of
BPATS in 13 barangays.
Crime solution efficiency for index crime in the City of Antipolo is pegged at 88 percent where 391
cases were solved out of the 442 total crimes recorded.
In terms of fire incidence, there is a 19.69 percent decrease in the incidence of fire with an
approximately PhP 4M cost of damage to properties. Effective IEC campaign is the main intervention
provided by the BFP under this subsector.
In terms of infrastructure, aside from the main police headquarter, there are seven strategically located
police substations, 192 sitio outposts, three fire stations, and one city jail. However, this is not enough
given the increasing trend in city population.
4.2. KEY SOCIAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS
SOCIAL ISSUES AND CONCERNS IDENTIFIED CAUSES
Inaccessibility and Insufficiency of Rapid Population Growth

Social Services
Insufficient Social Infrastructure Support
Insufficient Manpower for Health, Education and Protective

Services
Need to address concerns of the Representations from the vulnerable groups are not yet
vulnerable groups institutionalized;
Target setting for these groups need to be addressed
in planning for responsive programs and projects
Loss of Distinct Identity
Culture and Heritage Preservation
Disregard for Antipolo’s Heritage and Cultural Sites
Lack of Product Packaging
Basic Traditions are not practiced
4.2.1. Inaccessibility and Insufficiency of social services
 Rapid Population Growth. At an average of 6.3% percent annual growth rate from May, 2010
onwards, the city’s population will double in number by 2021. This early, the city government has
to have a clear policy on population management. Similarly, a policy measure is necessary to
mitigate migration trend since it accounts for about 61.8% of the total increase in the population.
This trend will require a higher demand for services that the city may not be able to meet.
Increasing number of in-migration results to increasing number of informal settlements, which
unfortunately is found mostly in critical areas such as along creeks, landslide prone areas, and
within the urban center that may contribute to the increase in social problems.
 Insufficient Social Infrastructure Support. Based on the sectoral standards as provided by the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), the City is deficient on the following
categories:
 Elementary School (2012): 863 classroom deficiency at 1:50 (1 shift); no classroom

deficiency at 1:50 (2 shifts)
 High School (2012): 457 classroom deficiency at 1:50 (1 shift); 16 classroom deficiency at
1:50 (2 shifts)
 Only one Health Center is accredited by the Sentrong Sigla
 Absence of a public hospital
 No CICL (Children In Conflict with Law) Center
 Only 14 women can be accommodated in the existing Bahay Kalinga
 Insufficient Manpower for Health, Education and Protective Services. Aside from deficiency in
facilities, there is also a need for adequate work force to deliver these services. To date, the City is
deficient in the following areas:
 Deficient by 21 doctors, 14 dentists, 7 nurses, 29 sanitary inspectors, 4 midwives, 70 medical

technologists, 6 nutritionists, 1,250 barangay health workers (BHWS) and 1,376 barangay
nutrition scholars (BNS)
 Deficient by 310 fire brigades and 491 police personnel
Implications
 Higher demand for social services. This puts pressure on the city government to provide more
facilities and services such as housing, health, education, solid waste disposal, among others.
 Compromised quality of education and health of constituents. Inaccessibility and insufficiency of

basic social services diminishes the quality of the city’s population when they are deprived of
education and health services.
 Possible contributor to the increase of social problems. The increasing number of in-migration
may results to the prevalence of informal settlements, which most likely may cause such social
problems as the health and sanitation, education and safety (crime incidence). It will also reduce
economic opportunities because of high demand for job opportunities in the City.
4.2.2. Need to address concerns of the vulnerable groups
Since 2006, the City Social Welfare and Development Office recorded an annual average of 145 cases
of child abuses and children in conflict with law. If not addressed, the situation could lead to high
incidence of juvenile delinquency and prevalence of street children and mendicants. Other vulnerable
groups require the same amount of attention and this include the Persons with Disabilities (PWDs),
Senior Citizens, and the Indigenous People (Dumagats). For the Dumagats, the preparation of the
Ancestral Domain Sustainable Development and Protection Plan (ADSDPP) and the delineation of
the boundaries that would protect them through a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title (CADT) shall
be secured.
Implications
 The vulnerable groups, if left on their own, will not be responsive partners for development.
Government programs to help empower and uplift their social and economic status shall be
formulated and implemented so that they become assets to society later on.
4.2.3. Culture and Heritage Preservation
 Loss of Distinct Identity. As recipient of the overspill of the excess population of Metro Manila,
Antipolo has become the melting pot of people from various ethnic groups. Hence, it has
developed a cornucopia of practices that are not truly Antipolo. There is a need therefore for the
city to resurface its distinct identity, especially its prominent religious and cultural practices.
 Disregard for Heritage and Cultural Sites. Many natural sites and man-made structures valuable
to Antipolo’s history are in deteriorating conditions. If left unprotected and not restored at the
soonest possible time, these places will forever be lost to oblivion, and with it goes Antipolo’s
unique identity.
 Lack of Product Packaging. It is just a matter of packaging and branding, says many marketing
specialists. For Antipolo, there is a need to package itself according to the city’s vision for it to
preserve and protect its cultural identity—a preferred destination of investment and tourism and a
pilgrimage city.
 Basic Traditions are not practiced. There is a need to revive old and forgotten traditions. This
includes the commemoration of the Road to Pinaglikasan and the traditional Arc Making for the
Quatro Kantos. Moreover, the culture and tradition of Antipolo’s native inhabitants, the Dumagats
shall be documented, preserved, and integrated as part of the city’s showcase of traditional
practices.
Implications
 Reduced Economic Opportunities. The loss of Antipolo’s cultural identity will result to loss of
interest in participating in cultural events that bring income to businesses. The City is rich in
culture and tradition and shall maximize them as a source of economic opportunities for the
government and the people. This entails not only enriching what are already being practiced for
many years, but also documenting such practices that are slowly being forgotten so that they too
can be recognized as part of Antipolo’s culture. At the same time, natural and man-made sites
should be protected and restored so they can be used for cultural tourism. What is distinctly
Antipolo, if surfaced, will be an attraction in itself that tourists and pilgrims alike will come to
love.
 Melting Pot of Culture. Because of its proximity to Metro Manila, it is no wonder that people
from different places not only come to visit the city but prefer to live as well. The role that it plays
for the province as a “bedroom city” also contributes to the City being a melting pot of culture.
Therefore, the City Government shall intensify its efforts in introducing Antipolo’s historical and
cultural heritage as well as artistic creations to the people, so that they can appreciate and be
motivated to support the preservation of these important pieces of the city’s history.

4.5. SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
4.5.1. Local Shelter Plan
This plan shall address the growing number of informal settlers residing in the city as well as the
increasing number of subdivisions that result in land conversions. Availability of lands and proximity
to Metro Manila are some factors that encourage the influx of migrants to target Antipolo as their
destination. If not prevented and controlled, their proliferation could result into such other social
problems as increased juvenile delinquency, increased number of out-of school-youths, presence of
street children and mendicants, increased crime incidence, and pressure to deliver adequate social
services, among others.
Objective To prevent and control the growing number of informal settlers

 Socialized housing program
 Zonal improvement program
Proposed Programs,  Slum improvement and resettlement program
Projects and Activities  Community Mortgage Program
 Social infrastructure support program
 Livelihood assistance program
 Inventory of informal settlers and current settlement areas
 Situation and affordability analysis, determination of resource
requirement, and resource availability assessment
 Installation and regular use of a community-based monitoring and
evaluation system
 Institutionalization of the Urban Settlement and Development Office
Policy Complementation (USDO)
 Population management policy
 Enforcement of existing relevant laws for private subdivisions
The community-based monitoring system shall be designed to:
a. To help policymakers, planners and program implementors in policy and program development
particularly on the number, characteristics, needs and origin of in-migrants;
b. To assist new residents in making initial adjustment in their new environment and provide them
with the necessary services and facilities; and
c. To have the means to monitor and abate the influx of squatters to the city.
The socialized housing program considers the provision of basic services and livelihood opportunities.
Its components include land acquisition; plan preparation (e.g., conduct of survey, documentation,
detailed architectural engineering, community organization, and social preparation); and
implementation.
For private subdivisions, the program thrust is to strengthen the enforcement of relevant laws such as
PD 957 and BP 220 that provide the guidelines on the minimum requirements for all types of land
subdivisions and development (e.g., right of way, setbacks, lot sizes, utility systems, open space
requirements, etc.). Another program thrust is the adoption and implementation of the Localized 20
percent Balanced Housing Ordinance of the City Government of Antipolo. It shall require developers
of subdivision projects to implement and set aside the twenty percent (20%) balanced housing
development within the City of Antipolo in any manner provided for under Article V Section 18 of
the Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 (R.A. No. 7279).
Active community participation reinforces community values and help build human and social capital
for long-term sustainability. The city government’s shall focus on capability building to come with its
housing projects to ensure effectiveness of the housing programs and pursue joint venture schemes, as
may deemed necessary, with the private sector as part of a continuing strategy.
While slum dweller-beneficiaries deserve the services they need, they also need to be educated on the
value of the program and be committed on their responsibilities as beneficiaries such as payment for
the services they receive among others.
4.5.2. Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan
Disasters frequently undermine development. Recurrent losses hamper efforts at greater expansion
and progress. The disaster risk reduction and management plan shall be designed to help prevent and
mitigate the occurrences of disasters, maintain preparedness to respond in case such disasters do
occur, and the population on such occurrences.

development is for all and that everyone in society, female or male, has the right to equal
opportunities to achieve a full and satisfying life.

addressing the pressing need in both private and public sectors for a set of protocols to aid lawyers in
the effective handling cases from the time the victim files his/her complaint to the actual hearing and
final disposition of the case. It shall address the need for extending legal support to victims of sexual
harassment through the refinement of existing protocols for the handling of sexual harassment cases.
It shall also be an aid for the facilitation and dispensation of justice for victims of sexual harassment
and may indirectly be a deterrent to sexual harassment through proper education among the public.
The development of a Training Module on Gender and Governance is a strategic role in the
achievement of the country’s policy and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) of gender
equality and women empowerment through mainstreaming Gender and Development.

Economic Sector Development Plan

(2014-2016)
5.0. ECONOMIC SECTOR DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Developing the economy to a sound state of health is one important responsibility of the local
government. On it depends the level of family income and employment, and hence, the level of well
being of its residents. 1 The Antipolo economic development plan for 2014-2016 embodies measures
that the local government intends to take to create a favorable climate for private investments, which
would assure the residents of steady supply of goods (adequate food and services) and of jobs and
household income.
5.1. SITUATIONAL ANALYSIS
Antipolo City is a first class, highly urbanized city. The local economy predominantly consists of
business establishments falling mostly under the secondary and tertiary category of economic
activities as per Philippine Standard Industry Classification. Economic activities under the primary
category however remain an essential part of the local economy as these help ensures food security
for the city.
Figure 4 – Distribution of Economic Activities
Primary
Secondary
Tertiary
As the primary growth center in the province of Rizal, the City of Antipolo is endowed with economic
opportunities waiting to be tapped for the benefit of its residents. Its urban area is currently home to
middle and high-end residential areas and subdivisions that cater to both local residents and migrants.
Its sizable number of commercial and financial establishments offers services and amenities one
would expect in a highly urbanized city.
In the rural areas exists a small but robust agriculture, poultry, livestock, and fishery sector that strive
to help ensure food security for the Antipoleños while acting as a buffer for urban development.
Antipolo’s mineral resources has attracted mining and quarrying companies while the City’s growing
industrial and manufacturing sector is already making itself known for its garments and handicrafts.
The commercial sector on the other hand has seen the increase in retail and service enterprises. The

First Edition, 2008.
city’s motto, “Tayo na sa Antipolo” (Let’s go to Antipolo) aptly serves as the driving force behind its
tourism sector.
5.2 KEY ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT ISSUES AND CONCERNS
 Availability of employment
 Declining agricultural and livestock productivity
 Undefined role of the city in mining and quarrying activities within its jurisdiction
 Absence of sufficient infrastructure support for the planned promotion of Sitio Pinugay as agro-
industrial area
 Insignificant contribution of the tourism sector to Antipolo’s economic growth, in spite of the
inherent tourism potential of Antipolo
5.2.1. Availability of Employment in the City of Antipolo
Antipolo just saw a dramatic reduction in unemployment rate when compared to national and regional
averages. However, despite this improvement, a 8.64 percent unemployment rate in year 2012 is still
high for a city with a large population. There is still the presence of employed residents working in
companies in Metro Manila, indicating insufficient employment opportunities to support its growing
population.

*previous rate in parenthesis
Viewed from a different angle, this could also mean that it has a large labor force available that can
support the growth of its economic sector. The final results of the latest Census of Population and
Housing conducted by the National Statistics Office in May 2010 posted a total population of
Antipolo of 677,741, representing an average annual population growth rate of 4.39 percent compared
to the 2000 census of population.
The proportion of household population in the working age group (15 to 64 years) was 64 percent,
young dependents (0 to14 years) comprised 33.2 percent, and old dependents (65 years and over), 2.8
percent. The overall dependency ratio was 56, which indicates that for every 100 working-age
Antipoleños, there are about 56 dependents (52 young dependents and 4 old dependents).
Compared to the results of the 2007 census of population, the 64 percent proportion of household
population in the working age group represents an increase from 62.5 percent in the 2007 census
owing to the slight decrease in the proportion of the young and old dependents, from 34.4 percent and
2.8 percent respectively.
Using CPDO’s 2013-projected household population generates the same results. The projected labor
force of the City constitutes 64 percent of the total household population while overall dependency
ratio is also 56.
Implications
The lack of sufficient job opportunities or lack of decent or more quality jobs accessible to the
residents has continuously driven a portion of the Antipolo labor force to seek employment elsewhere.
It could be assumed that this portion of the labor force could be a combination of the educated
(graduates of a 4-year course) and the skilled blue-collar workers, implying a brain and skill drain
away from Antipolo.
The decrease in the overall dependency age or the increase in the proportion of the working age
population augurs well for the local economy. First, the decrease in overall dependency age indicates
lesser burden to the economically active population to support and provide the services needed by
children and older persons who are dependent on them economically. In general, it indicates a
decrease in Antipolo’s population who are not of working age. Second, it indicates an increase in the
labor force, which in turn indicates an increase in income earners, given the availability of sufficient
job opportunities to absorb them, and therefore a consequent increase in number of taxpayers, and
ultimately an increase in tax collections of the city.
Strategies to address unemployment
It is imperative that the way towards the realization of the City’s potential for growth and
development be guided always by its vision—a “Preferred Destination (of both local and foreign
direct investments and tourists) at the Center of the Eastern Growth Corridor (where the six identified
growth areas are situated), with a flourishing globally competitive economy…” by striving hard to
making Antipolo the “Number One” in the region/province in socio-economic developments
(education, employment, and agro-industrialism), social welfare services (health and sanitation), a
clean, quiet and enticing environment (peace and order, environment-friendly), and an efficient and
transparent leadership that ensures an enticing “cost of doing business” in the city and ensuring that
the benefits of a progressive, holistic and sustainable development trickles down to all its residents,
making them “walk and stand with heads up”, and oozing with pride of these developments.
BPLO data as of April 2013 listed 10,740 businesses establishments for a 54 percent increase
compared to the same listing as of April 2009. A great majority of these establishments fall under the
tertiary classification of industries, are mostly small and medium-sized businesses, and mostly not
labor-intensive.
Economic development policies for employment generation
 The city government shall focus on attracting investments into the local economy, either local or
foreign, through the establishment of stronger public-private partnerships in development
projects. It shall install needed and appropriate social and infrastructure facilities such as
healthcare facilities, police stations and outposts, road networks, energy and telecommunication,
and utilities. In short, the city government intends to make the cost of doing business in Antipolo
competitive as well as making transaction costs with the local government investor-friendly.
 The City shall continue cultivating and promoting local entrepreneurship.
 It shall provide incentives and support services to existing manufacturers—which produce a wide
variety of goods ranging from consumer items to handicrafts, garments and leather products to
construction materials—to assist them realize their growth and expansion potential. These
measures will likewise attract new business entrants. This support services will be in the form of
job fairs, domestic and international trade and investment fairs, investment matching, and
financial assistance program to local entrepreneurs and livelihood assistance for the
disadvantaged workers.
 As an active participant in the One Town One Product (OTOP) program of the Department of
Trade and Industry, it shall further strengthen its participation through enhanced promotion and
support to the ceramics and ceramic products industry. There is currently seven (7) large ceramic
production and distribution companies operating in the City. Small entrepreneurs will be
encouraged to become major participants in the ceramics market through skills development
program, tax incentives, and marketing. It shall explore other markets for ceramics apart from the
traditional decorative and household items, given the increasing number of applications for
ceramic products in the fields of prosthetic medicine, automotive engineering, and personal
protection such as ceramic body armor.

5.2.2. Declining agriculture and livestock productivity
Agriculture sector
Rice remains the most widely cultivated crop while poultry and livestock production remain
significant owing to the presence of a number of small-scale or backyard breeders. There is also a
small fishery sector of 11 fishpond operators. As an economic activity, the primary sector remains an
important driver for development as it is geared towards agro-industrial production of a variety of
crops and livestock.
Rice Production. Rice production comprises 62 percent of the total land areas planted to agricultural
crops in 2012. Out of the 647.40 hectares of rice areas in Antipolo City, 563.9 and 253 hectares of
irrigated and rain-fed areas were planted to rice during the wet and dry season, respectively. These
involved 692 farmers (567 males and 25 females) for the two cropping seasons.
Figure 6 - Percentage of Land Areas Devoted to Agriculture, 2012
24%
Rice
Corn
14% High Value Commercial

62%
Crops
Average yield per hectare was recorded at 3.41 metric tons during the wet season and 3.61 metric tons
(dry season). The low production average during the dry season is attributable to insufficient supply
of irrigation water while natural calamities caused the low production during the wet season.
The 2012 average yield per hectare is lower for both cropping season when compared to the 2011
averages of 3.81 m/t (wet season) and 4.04 m/t (dry season) per hectare despite the fact that the total
rice areas planted to rice in 2011 is smaller (741 hectares).
This decline is also attributable to the following factors:
1. The decrease in available prime agricultural lands brought about by land conversion
2. The inability of farmers to purchase necessary items for planting such as seedlings and fertilizers
3. The lack of knowledge of the newest farming practices and access to modern farming
technologies; and
4. Insufficient agricultural support facilities.
Corn Production. A thriving small corn producers help augment the requirements for continuous
operation of poultry/hog farms in Antipolo City and Rizal province as a whole. For cropping year
2012, 156 hectares was devoted to corn production. The city government’s corn seed assistance
program in 2012 yielded an average of 5 m/t per hectare during the dry season and 4.5 m/t per hectare
during the wet season. Technical assistance on integrated pest and nutrition management in 2012
resulted in an expanded area for corn production.
High Value Commercial Crops Production. At present, High Value Crops (HVCs) such as fruits like
mango and cashew, and vegetables such as pole sitao and patola are already produced in Antipolo.
The city government shall encourage and support the production of High Value Crops (HVC) in line
with RA 7900 or the High Value Crops Development Act of 1995 to provide farmers alternative
sources of additional income, apart from the traditional crops such as rice and corn.
Two hundred fifty two (252) hectares of land was devoted to the production of high value commercial
crops in 2012, including areas cultivated for vegetables and root crops. Two hundred farmers were
involved in upland (leafy vegetables) and lowland (solanaceous and cucurbits).
In support of vegetable production, the city government distributed 100 kgs. of assorted vegetable
seeds to 1,698 farmer beneficiaries, yielding an average of 10 m/t per hectare. In the urban barangays,
vegetable production was encouraged through communal gardens, backyard home gardens, and
recyclable containers backyard gardening. Likewise, the city government provided technical
assistance and vegetable seeds to 1,000 urban beneficiaries. Initial harvest was devoted for home
consumption.
Fruit Production. The cooler climate in Antipolo has made it an ideal location for the production of
fruits such as mangoes, bananas, pineapples and cashew.
Aquaculture Production. Total areas devoted to aquaculture production were 7.3 hectares, involving
276 cooperators from eight barangays. To help increase farmers’ productivity and income, the city
government in cooperation with the DA-BFAR, Region IV-A continued the dispersal of tilapia
fingerlings to fish farmers and culturist.
Poultry, livestock and fishery sector
The poultry and livestock sector consists of small and large-scale growers found in both rural and
urbanized areas of the city. In 2012 there were nine major private livestock farms composed of five
(5) piggeries, three (3) poultry farms, and one (1) poultry and piggery farm. In addition, there were six
slaughterhouses and seven mini dressing plants operating in Antipolo City in 2012.
Incentives shall be provided to the small livestock growers found in urbanized areas who would
relocate to Sitio Pinugay, the designated agro-industrial development area. Although it contributes
income to many residents, their presence contributes to air, water and noise pollution. The relocation
program would enable the city government to centralize its infrastructure support facilities in line with
the requirements of poultry and livestock growers, make these businesses easier to monitor, and
provide small-scale growers to expand their operations with incentives and other support packages.
In the long run, a successful relocation program would signal the establishment of a biogas digesters
to extract natural gas from the waste products of livestock and poultry. This waste-to-energy program
would decrease the cost of electricity in the area. The agro-industrial area will also contain public and
private slaughterhouses or processing.
Lastly, the City Government will conduct growers education programs and feeds distribution for
small-scale producers to encourage growth and expansion.
Implications
Crops Vegetables and Fruits Poultry, Livestock and Fisheries

 Reduced income for farmers and agricultural  Backyard growers, especially those in urban areas,

 Reduction of food security and increased
dependence on external sources of food
Strategies to address the declining productivity
To address the issue of land conversion, the city will undertake programs to protect prime agricultural
land through relevant land use policies embodied in an updated CLUP, which is implemented through
a Zoning Ordinance. In addition, the City Agriculture Office will strictly monitor the implementation
of Administrative Order 20 on the Interim Guidelines on Agricultural Land Use Conversion.

5.2.3. Undefined role of the city in mining and quarrying activities within its jurisdiction
This issue is attributable to a seeming flaw in RA 7942 or the Philippine Mining Act of 1995 wherein
it does not categorically define the role of the city or municipal government in the conduct of mining,
quarrying and other related activities within its territory. The city has no hand whatsoever over the
approval, monitoring, and taxation of these activities although its direct effects (economic, social, and
environmental) are absorbed by the city and its citizenry.
Mining and quarrying activities in Antipolo is growing. Roughly 1,665.0924 hectares are utilized for
large-scale mining, quarrying and other related activities by six major companies. These mining
companies cater to the construction demands of Metro Manila while providing employment to many
residents. The duration of their contracts are mostly expiring between 2021 and 2032. Antipolo is host
also to one of the largest cement processing facilities in the region—Solid Cement—which
contributes 37% of all cement production in the region.
Implications
 Limited interventions on the part of the city including regulatory and monitoring functions due to
its undefined role in the permitting system in the mining industry. It is left only on the sidelines
while its mineral resources are being extracted.
 Lost revenue opportunity. These mineral resources are being extracted in the territorial
jurisdiction of the LGU and yet it does not derive any income out of these activities.
 Unsustainable depletion of Antipolo's mineral resources. This is one of the examples of an

irreversible land capability—an unsustainable practice that need to be regulated.
 Increase vulnerability to landslides, flooding, and other related occurrences

Development policies: mining subsector
 The city government shall foster good relations and partnerships with the mining operators to
encourage their support to mutually beneficial infrastructure development projects under their
corporate social responsibility. One such project could be road improvements around the city to
facilitate ease of travel both for residents and visitors as well as for the personnel and equipment
of these mining companies.
 It shall enact local legislation to provide greater support and monitoring of mining operations
while imposing a local tax based on the extent of resource extraction. In this way, the benefits of
the city’s natural resources could trickle down to the residents through various civic programs.
 It shall focus on regulating and monitoring mining operations to ensure that these do not cause
unforeseen consequences that can affect the city and its residents.
o During the evaluation and application process, it shall seek representation in provincial or
regional mining board to be well informed as to the company seeking mining permit, which
areas will be affected, what minerals are to be extracted, and for how long the extraction
operations will last. With this information, the city government can provide inputs to the
mining board as to the affected communities, whether the areas are environmentally critical or
are in line for development according to the CLUP, and whether such activities pose
significant disaster risk.
o Once a mining permit is granted, the city’s environmental office shall regularly monitor its
activities in conjunction with the Mining Geo-Science Bureau to ensure compliance with the
guidelines set by RA 7942.
 It shall seek dialogues with the mining operators to discuss possible partnerships on development
projects that they can support after the resources have been exhausted. This recognizes the
commitment of mining companies in mitigating the effects of their operations and showing its
support to the development of the city.
 It shall seek cooperation with the other municipalities for an oversight function over mining
operations. Together, the municipalities or their environmental offices can hold regular dialogues
to share experiences and strategies on monitoring, cooperation, and post-mining rehabilitation.
This could be a venue for LGUs to voice out their concerns and issues with mining operations at
the provincial level.

5.2.4. Absence of infrastructure support for the planned promotion of Sitio Pinugay as
industrial/agro-industrial area
The city recognizes the importance of the manufacturing industry as a major contributor of economic
growth. As of April 2013, there are 283 manufacturing companies operating in Antipolo City
comprising 3.01% of the total registered business enterprises. Most notable among these companies
are RC Cola, Wrigley’s, and Solid Cement. The rest are mostly small scale manufacturers.
One of the priorities of the updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan is to expand the investment areas
for industrial/agro-industrial use and to enhance the accessibility and utility support in the proposed
areas. Consequently, 2,000 hectares of suitable flat lands in Sitio Pinugay, Barangay San Jose has
been allocated for this purpose, with the provision that environmental impact be mitigated upon its
development, especially the pollution of the river system of Antipolo.
Sitio Pinugay is a rural area, devoid of such basic facilities and amenities as wet market,
hospitals/clinics, colleges, police station, convenience stores and banks. Deep wells are the current
source of water and cellular phones are only means of telecommunication at present.

5.2.5. Need to streamline the growing commercialization of Antipolo City
Antipolo’s urbanization runs parallel to its economic growth. There has been an economy shift from
the primary and secondary industries to the tertiary or commercial economic activities. There is
therefore a need to improve and strengthen the six (6) identified growth centers and commercial
development areas based on their designated roles in the economy of Antipolo.
Antipolo City’s geographic proximity to Metro Manila, its strategic location at the forefront of Rizal
province, and its designation as a service center for the Eastern Growth Corridor, has played a crucial
role in its economic development.
This economic development has resulted in greater urbanization and the emergence of growth areas
that would cater to the needs of individuals, businesses, and institutions. The city government has
identified the strategic impacts and roles of the following growth nodes in its economy:
1. Poblacion – Tourism center. One of the earliest growth centers of the city is the Poblacion or the
city center, also locally known as Old Antipolo. Previously the most bustling part of the city, the
Poblacion is being transformed into a tourism center with the Antipolo Cathedral and the city
square as the centerpiece of cultural and economic activities. The Poblacion comprises the areas
found within the Circumferential Road, which runs circle across portions of four (4) barangays,
namely San Isidro, Dela Paz, San Roque, and San Jose.
2. Masinag – Central Business District. The proximity of Antipolo to Metro Manila and the marked
improvement in travel and interconnectivity is the reason for the fast developing Masinag, in
Barangay Mayamot, as the central business district of the City. Masinag hosts many of the newer
and bigger commercial centers, entertainment areas, banks and financial institutions as well as a
number of manufacturing industries. The SM-Masinag Mall, the latest addition to the numerous
commercial establishments in the area, greatly enhanced the economic and employment
opportunities in the area.
As the gateway to the eastern growth corridor as well as to the Poblacion, its continued economic
growth will facilitate an increased economic activity throughout the City.
3. Gate 2 – Minor Commercial and Service Center. Gate 2 in Cogeo, located on the boundaries of
Brgys. Sta. Cruz and Bagong Nayon is a developing minor commercial and service center area.
The growth of Gate 2 can be attributed to the development of the Cogeo area as a transportation
hub for travel to the eastern parts of Rizal.
4. Boso-Boso – Local Service Center. The Boso-Boso area is designated as a local growth center
with a small number of commercial and financial facilities for residents and travelers. The
presence of the historic and centuries old Boso-Boso Church, which shall be proposed as a
heritage district shall also spur economic activity in the area through tourism.
5. Pinugay – Agro-Industrial Center. The City government has designated Pinugay as the
industrial and agro industrial area for Antipolo, the site for large-scale poultry and livestock and
other agricultural enterprises.
6. Cabading—Administrative Center. Located in the geographical center of the City, It is

envisioned to be the new administrative center where one can find the proposed government
center as well as a retirees’ haven and an area for Business Processing Outsourcing (BPOs)
centers or call centers.
Implications
 Unregulated development of growth centers can result in possible replication and lack of
specialization of the different areas
 Strategic site for industrial and manufacturing businesses outside the CBD
 Well-connected circulation network that will connect the growth areas to enhance economic
interaction among growth centers
OBJECTIVES, TARGETS, AND PPAs – GROWTH AREAS
OBJECTIVE: To strengthen economic activity and interaction of existing Growth Centers through an efficient
circulation system or road network.
 Conduct of investment promotion activities  Domestic and international Ttade and investment fairs

2.2.6. Insignificant contribution of the tourism industry to Antipolo’s economic growth, in spite of
the inherent tourism potential of Antipolo
With the continuous growth of the tourism sector in the country, most especially domestic tourism,
there is a clear demand for the development of new and unique tourism destinations. As a pilgrimage
city and as an envisioned convention center and eco-tourism destination, Antipolo will tap its rich
history, culture, and environment as well as maximize its potential to become one of the leading
destinations for local and foreign visitors. However, there are existing obstacles that need to be
cleared to pursue smoothly its tourism development.
 Absence of an institutionalized Tourism Office in the City's organizational structure. Though

the City had established the Antipolo City Culture and Tourism Promotions Office
(AnCCATPO), still there is a need to institutionalize the Office whereby a permanent Tourism
Officer shall be designated. To date, a consultant on a temporary basis is hired by the City
Government to run its tourism promotions.
 Absence of a tourism master plan. The AnCCATPO has already started the initial data gathering
phase for the crafting of the Tourism Master Plan for the City of Antipolo.
 Lack of businesses and sufficient facilities to respond to the needs of tourists. Infrastructure
support facilities must not be neglected to provide comfort and convenience to tourists.
 Insufficient promotion of Antipolo’s tourism sector including its history, culture and
environment
Implications
 Dwindling number of tourists visiting Antipolo
 Lack of an institutionalized tourism plan
 Inability of the city to market itself as a conference, seminar or retreat venue

Chapter 6
Environment Sector Development Plan

(2014-2016)
6.0. THE ENVIRONMENT SECTOR
The vision of the Environment Sector supports the city’s vision of a sustainably managed and safe
environment and expects a future that has ”Productive, sustainably managed, and ecologically sound
environment, with effective enforcement of laws, and people enjoying good quality of life”.
Several interrelated ecosystems categorize the environment of Antipolo City. These consists of (1)
Forest Ecosystem; (2) Agricultural Ecosystem; (3) Freshwater Ecosystem, (4) Mineral Resource
Ecosystem; and (5) Urban Ecosystem. In managing and directing the development of Antipolo City,
the city government shall give full attention to these ecosystems to avoid compromising their status
and quality and their adherence to the precepts of sustainable development.
6.1. THE FOREST ECOSYSTEM
6.1.1. Situational Analysis
Forest areas of Antipolo are large. About 17,680 hectares are classified as forestlands. The forestlands
assets of the city are currently covered by a few patches of residual forests occupying around 376
hectares of the forestlands. The forestlands are largely covered by brush lands and grasslands
interspersed with agro-forestry, cultivated and settlement areas.
Figure 7 – Land Cover Map
Deforested land and land converted to farmlands have been evident since the past 2
decades .Figure shows that 75% of forest lands decreased from year 1981 to present
decades.
This in effect will lead to insufficient capacity of the forest to regenerate or renew itself or even lead
to some irreversible situations such as the extinction of certain forest species or to environmental
destructive process such as flooding, siltation, erosion, landslides and the like.
Figure 8 – Comparative Forest Cover Map, 1981 and 2012
Another issue that forest ecosystem has been facing is the unsustainable management of remaining
forest cover. This is due to lack of adequate benchmark information on the actual conditions of forest
lands. Absence of wide-ranging information regarding forest covers will lead to deficiency/lack of
adequate forest protection and conservation measures. It was evident that a more focused wide-
ranging approach on stakeholders concerns and program implementation at the city level is generally
lacking.
6.1.2. Key Issues and Concerns
 Depleting Forest Cover
 Unsustainable forest system practices. The seasonal employment provided by the agriculture
sector prompts the forest dwellers to find ways on how to augment their income.
Unsustainable practices like “pagkakaingin” and “pag-uuling” are some of the practices that
need to be stopped for the forest resources to flourish.
 Land Development within the Forest Ecosystem. Tenure instruments being issued to
independent farmers are misconstrued as a land ownership where they can do anything about
the land. These tenure holders are usually without background knowledge in forest care. Lack
of monitoring on the part of the concerned agencies also attribute to the undirected utilization
(establishments of resorts) of forest resources.
 Unsustainable management of remaining production forest. A comparison of the 1981 and

current forest cover shows a decrease of about 75 percent of the forest cover. There is weak
institutional Capability for forest Management (to include communities, regulatory agencies
and support institutions)
6.1.3. Implications
 Susceptibility of forestland to erosion (0 to 18% gradients comprise 23,801 hectares or 68.8% of

the city's total land area – critical elevations susceptible erosion);
 Increase unproductive lands. The forestlands that are being utilized as resorts, relocation sites and
for purposes other than its original use may result in the decrease in the area of productive lands.
 More chances of flooding to occur in lowland areas. Forestlands are the life support system of the
lowland areas. Unsustainable utilization of these forestlands may lessen its capacity to absorb
rainwater thereby increasing the chances of flooding in the lowland areas, not only of the City but
the whole of Rizal.
 Irreversible land capabilities. Lands will not return to its original state. There are certain actions
that are irreversible like mining.
6.1.4. Objectives, Targets, and Proposed Programs, Projects and Activities

 Maintenance of good quality waterways and keeping them free from man-made pollutants for domestic,
industrial and irrigation uses
 Abandonment Plan for Mining Areas
6.2. AGRICULTURAL ECOSYSTEM
Antipolo City’s agricultural land has a total land cover of 7,908.84 hectares, about 20.32% of the
City’s land area.
The agricultural areas intended for raising rice, vegetables, cut flowers and cash or high-value
commercial crops—are located in the center of the city, particularly in Barangays Calawis and San
Jose. The portion in Brgy San Jose is on relatively flat lands below 18 percent in slope where
agricultural activities already exist. The Boso-Boso area to which the SAFDZ belong is historically
productive lowland traversed by the Boso-Boso River. These lands are presently underutilized but
possess high economic potentials because they are well watered, on low slopes, and near the Metro
Manila market.
The agricultural CARP zone occurs in small patches in the urban zone, particularly in Barangays Sta.
Cruz, San Isidro, San Juan and San Jose. These lands are planted to cash crops and fruits but may
have to give way to urban uses in the near future, being near the built-up areas.
Current situation affecting the agricultural ecosystem is the lack of an effective forest cover in a
certain area, thereby increasing the occurrence of erosion. The eroded materials are carried down by
surface runoff to creeks and rivers up to the Laguna Lake and Manila Bay and, in the process causing
damages to fishery and aquatic resources as well as lowland agricultural farms. The Tayabasan and
Boso-Boso rivers suffer from siltation as evidenced by their murky waters.
Erosion also compromises the productive capacity of the soil. As water erodes the soil surface, the
soil nutrients that support plant growth go with the surface runoff. The use of unsustainable
cultivation practices also contributes greatly to the lessening fertility and productivity of the area.
Antipolo’s grasslands receive lesser attention because of their low economic importance. Abandoned
mining sites are part of these areas, which readily become grasslands after all mineral deposits are
mined and the areas closed to such activities. More often than not, mining companies abandon these
areas without the benefit of rehabilitation as stipulated in the Environmental Compliance Certificate.
Because of the relatively large area of grasslands in Antipolo City, finding ways to make them useful
for development needs of the city is a good policy consideration. Grasslands are most suitable for
livestock raising, animal husbandry or ranching. However, a seemingly low carrying capacity exists
for natural grasslands and native pastures—the existing grass cover can only sustain a limited number
of animals. To optimize the livestock production potential of these areas, there shall be an
improvement in the use of forage species as well as in the type of pasture management and control
employed.
 Unproductive agricultural land
 Lack of programs that encourage integrated crop and livestock farming system—High value
crops like coffee and cashew is still unpopular in the city. These HVC is expected to increase
incomes and productivity of farmers. Moreover, coffee is a good anti-erosion tree.
 Conversion of agricultural lands into settlement areas—10.1 hectares of agricultural lands
have been converted for other purposes.
 Insufficient knowledge on sustainable agriculture—Tenure holders usually do not possess the
necessary knowledge in the proper utilization of agricultural lands.
 Insufficient support services such as irrigation, farm to market roads, and other harvest
facilities—although the city government provides these facilities, not all areas are provided
because of such factors as high input cost, insufficient funds, among others.
 Lack of market for agricultural produce—several trainings are conducted on income
generating projects such as food processing and agricultural by-products and handicrafts but
these endeavors do not flourish because of lack of market.
6.2.3. Implications
 Low crop production

 Primary agricultural lands are converted to a more economic value type of use (best use)
 Insufficient production of agricultural products

Objective: To sustain the existing capacity of the city for food production
TARGETS PROGRAMS, PROJECTS, AND ACTIVITIES
 Efficient support services to include incentives such  Land Degradation Assessment;
as irrigation, access roads to and from the  Farmer-based IEC on sustainable agriculture such
production areas, pre- and post-harvest facilities and as management training particularly in planning
the like to encourage cooperatives and stakeholders; and resource allocation & management to the

productivity-enhancing measures;  Establishment of Agro-Forestry Demo Farm in
 Increase non-farm employment for small farmers Barangays San Isidro, San Jose, Calawis and San
and the landless; and Juan
 Integrated crop and livestock farming system;
Policy Complementation
 Comprehensive management of grassland areas for productivity and other uses;
 Intensified utilization of idle grasslands in Antipolo City for possible conversion into either agricultural
lands or production forests;
 Implement programs that provide security of tenure such as community-based projects implemented through
a MOA with concerned stakeholders;
 Policy framework to stabilize food prices and reduce supply fluctuations without adversely affecting local
production; and
 Prevention of natural disasters through reforestation or short-term strategy of erosion protection through
establishment of vegetative covers
6.3. FRESHWATER ECOSYSTEM
Antipolo City’s freshwater ecosystem consists of its surface waters and groundwater. Surface waters
consist of brooks, streams, rivers, and ponds. Groundwater is the body of water found underneath the
ground. In an upland environment, freshwater supply for domestic, industrial, irrigation and other uses
can become difficult if no effort is exerted to put the land under vegetation cover. Reforestation of the
denuded watershed areas in shall improve the recharge rates of the aquifers.
6.3.1.1. Surface Water found in Antipolo City
Several minor rivers originate from the foothills of the Sierra Madre Mountains and form the
waterways of Antipolo City. Part of the Kaliwa River runs through some portions of the city going to
the area where the planned Laiban Dam will be constructed to augment the water supply of Metro
Manila. The other rivers flow in an east-west direction, although their source starts north of the city.
These are the Tayabasan, Boso-Boso, Tulakin, Kamias, Nangka, Pantay and Ilog rivers. From the
eastern uplands, they meander through the western half of the city and empty into the Laguna Lake.
The other water features found in Antipolo City are the waterfalls consisting of the Nagpuso Falls and
the famous Taktak Falls in Brgy. Dela Paz. Smaller streams, variously referred to as creeks, brooks or
rivulets also abounds Antipolo City. Some of these creeks are perennial while some are intermittent or
run dry during summer. Nevertheless, they are recognized as important waterways that drain the city
during incessant rainy periods.

6.3.1.2. Groundwater supply in Antipolo City
Based on the groundwater map of Antipolo City, one can find difficult areas and deep well areas. The
static water level found in areas studied registered 14.05 meters below the ground surface and the
average well depth was placed at 141 meters. The average specific yield, a measure of the yield of a
well per 1 meter drawdown, was estimated at 0.94 lps/m or 81.216 cu. m per day/m. A rough
computation shows that a well with a depth of 141 meters has a potential of 126.95 meters. If the
entire potential is not depleted, it can supply the needs of around 68,735 people while providing
around 10,310.37 cu.m. per day.
In some areas, the groundwater flows out and feeds springs, which become a clean source of drinking
water. These springs are the Mainit Spring in Brgy. Calawis, Kubling Kalikasan in Brgy. Cupang,
Puting Bato in Brgy. Sta. Cruz, Bubukal in Brgy. San Jose, Malalim in Brgy. Dela Paz, Inuman in
Brgy. Inarawan, Del Bano in Brgy. San Isidro, and Sukol in Brgy. Dalig. The southern portions of
Brgy. Calawis, Sitio Pinugay, and portions of Sitio Kanumay and Sta. Ines, Brgys. San Juan,
Inarawan, San Luis and San Isidro are Antipolo’s deep well areas.
6.3.2. Water Quality Situation
Being a part of the Laguna Lake Basin, the task of monitoring the quality of water effluents from
various sources in Antipolo City is assigned to the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA).
Resolution No. 33, which provides for an environmental user fee system in the Laguna De Bay
Region, regulates the quality of the water effluents. In addition, DENR Administrative Order No. 35-
91 on effluent standards prevails in the City.
Antipolo’s population of about a third of a million (2010 CPH) is considered the primary active
polluters of its water resources. Barangays De La Paz, San Jose, and Cupang are the more
environmentally stressed barangays in terms of domestic water contamination because of the size of
their population. Residents of settlements along creeks and rivers directly deposit their liquid and
solid waste into the water.
Agro-industrial establishments generate considerable organic wastes. Hence, it is important to ensure

that effluents from these establishments conform to certain standards to ensure the quality of the
receiving waters. Some of the establishments are enumerated below:

Commercial establishments also generate high organically laden wastewater, particularly the wet
markets. The following table lists some of the possible sources of the wastewater from the
commercial sector:

Inorganic pollutants are also a concern since some of the chemicals persist overtime and bio-
accumulate inside the bodies of animals and plants. Data shows that there are at least 26 different
types of chemically related industrial waste concentrations in the city. These are the places where
relative higher incidences of industrial water pollution may occur.
Deforestation, soil erosion, or poor farming practices cause siltation or sedimentation. Mining and
quarrying activities also contribute to the problem since these activities entail removal of soil
cover and soil disturbances. When water flows over these areas, it carries with it soil particulates
that increase the turbidity of the receiving waters. The table below shows areas with high potential
for water contamination by siltation and the possible contributors to the problem.

 Degradation and water contamination
 Absence of an over-all plan to protect water bodies—Fragmented efforts from various offices
characterize the past efforts to protect Antipolo’s water bodies. Since there are upstream and
downstream areas in any river or creek system, a holistic approach in clean up drives is the
best policy alternative.
 Wastewater generated by increasing residential, commercial and industrial establishments—

The growth in population consequently generates more wastes and therefore putting pressure
on waste disposal system, especially on those wastes disposed in the City’s water system.
Regular monitoring and clean up shall minimize the pressure.
 Not enough mitigating measures vis-à-vis generated wastewater. Insufficient monitoring and
strict implementation of PD 1586 provision on compliance with measures to mitigate
wastewater generation by various companies.
 Not all residential areas are provided or have their own septic tank—these are mostly found
in informal settlements areas, particularly at riversides or creek sides. There are also an
increased number of informal settlers residing near freshwater bodies.
6.3.4. Implications
 Exposure to health hazards/nuisance to nearest residence or establishment/s

 Clogging of waterways that contributes to flooding
 The use of freshwater will be limited as to what type of use would be applicable
 Extinction of aquatic species

 Mobilization of institutional and community support to enhance the quality of water draining to Laguna Lake
6.4. Mineral Resource Ecosystem
Antipolo’s designated mining zone (MZ) is scattered in small patches within the urban zone
encompassing an area of 183.00 hectares. Mining sites for construction/rock aggregate, lime, silica,
and marble are found in Barangays San Jose, lnarawan, Cupang, Bagong Nayon, and San Luis. Most
of these mining sites are along the Marikina-Infanta Road, although there is one big mining
concession of Solid Cement near Sitio Tagbak, Brgy. San Jose.
Since they are situated inside urban zones, possibility of land use conflict with residential areas poses
a potential problem. Nevertheless, these activities are considered temporary land uses which
ultimately shall be rehabilitated for residential and other urban uses after extraction.
Solid Cement Factory, which supplies the construction needs of Antipolo and other municipalities in
the province of Rizal is the biggest employment generator among these mining companies and
followed by Concrete Aggregates, which manufactures concrete slabs.
The nonmetallic aggregate quarrying industry supplies around 60 percent of the aggregate
construction material needs of Metro Manila. There are nine mining and quarrying companies
operating in Antipolo.

Quarrying activities are among the most active contributors to land degradation in the city. Activities
include stripping the land of its vegetation, excavation of minerals or mechanically destabilizing them
by use of heavy equipment, and controlled blasting. Regulatory measures for proper observance of the
requirements of their respective Environmental Compliance Certificates (ECC) within the grassland
ecosystem shall avoid degradation and underutilization.
A comparison of the slope map and the existing land use map shows that much of the above 18
percent sloped lands are grassland or shrub land. Under grassland or shrub land conditions, this above
18 percent-sloped land are more prone to natural erosion when exposed to heavy torrential
downpours. These erosion-prone areas are all over the city, including the built-up portion of the west
and the scattered cultivated areas.
Grasslands on areas above 30 percent in slope found in the middle and the northern sections of the
city are the most susceptible to fluvia erosion. This requires immediate reforestation particularly in the
more urbanized sections of the city. Coffee tree planting is a good option for this problem.
 Unsustainable Practices on Mineral Resource Extraction
 Absence of an over-all plan to protect mineral resources—any plan to protect the city mineral
resources will be an inutile attempt as long as the Mining Law, which granted the power to
grant mining permits to national agencies, is not amended. As it is, the city government will
remain helpless in this regard although the protection of mineral resources is vested upon it.
 Undefined role of the LGU in the permitting system for mining project
 Lack of compliance with PD 1586 (Philippine EIS System) vis-à-vies measures to mitigate
impacts caused by mining projects. There is a conflicting provision wherein the EIS requires a
development permit prior to its issuance while a development permit requires an EIS prior to
issuance.
 Excessive mining operations in various portions of the City (Bagong Nayon, Inarawan,
Cupang; San Jose)
6.4.3. Implications
 Disturbance to other ecosystems (forest-upland, protected areas)

 Soil erosion
 Soil disturbance and clogging of natural waterways
 Flooding to lowland areas
 Contamination of water bodies due to the mining activities

Objective: To protect and preserve mineral resources from massive resource extraction
 Require risk assessment for development  Formulation and implementation of an
applications to include the EIA study after the abandonment plan for mining areas
adoption of the Zoning Ordinance;
 Formulate Abandonment Plans in collaboration
with the mining companies and with adequate funds
to guarantee and undertake continuous
rehabilitation of mining affected areas
 Enforce Mine Waste and Tailings Fee and revise
provisions and compensation to include damages on
infrastructure such as irrigation, bridges and the like
to be included in the Zoning Ordinance

 Establish Multi-Partite Monitoring Team (MMT) initiated by the DENR and in coordination with the City
Government and stakeholders affected by the mining project;
 Monitor ECC compliance in accordance to PD 1586 for existing and proposed mining project ;
 Strict implementation of zoning ordinances focusing on mineral extraction;
 Deputize mining companies to protect forest in mining areas by entering into MOAs; and
 Full implementation of applicable laws such as the Mining Act of 1995 or RA 7942;
6.5. The Urban Ecosystem
Antipolo’s assigned urban zone (commercial, industrial, residential, institutional and recreational)
comprises the western and southwestern half of the city. This zone comprises Brgys. Mayamot,
Munting Dilao, Cupang, Bagong Nayon, Sta. Cruz, De La Paz, Beverly Hills, San Roque, Dalig, San
Isidro, San Luis, and parts of Inarawan and San Jose.
Also included here are the existing heavily built-up areas centered in Brgys. Mayamot, Munting
Dilao, San Roque, Dalig, the Poblacion, and the Bagong Nayon-Inarawan area along the Marikina
lnfanta Road. Most of this zone has been pre-empted for housing although they are presently under
grasslands. The zone is located on land with slopes below 18 percent and elevations lower than 300
meters.
The Freedom Valley Resettlement area and the proposed government center around the northeastern
development node, the industrial areas in the southwestern node and the central business district of the
four nodes are also included here. This urban zone covers 13,721.00 hectares.
Since the air environment is a shared environment, a polluting entity can affect the air of adjacent
areas. Dust particles coming from quarrying and cement plants are also a cause of concern to the
residents of the city. Although vehicle emissions have not reached an alarming rate, congested areas
may be suffering from local air quality problems.
The solid waste problem is also becoming a concern in the absence of a treatment facility. The
traditional means of mixed collection and without a proper waste minimization program compounds
the problem of non-existence of a treatment facility.
Localize traffic congestion is causing considerable inconvenience to residents as well as to tourists

and visitors coming to the city. Aside from revenue losses caused by traffic delays, the tourism sector
is also affected as visitors become less and less enthusiastic in visiting the city amidst the prospect of
heavy traffic and limited parking spaces.
Ecological risks have recently become a focus of attention in several land movement incidents in the
city, which claimed considerable lives and damaged properties as well. These situations have
compelled authorities to rethink their positions with regard to developing naturally constrained areas
particularly, landslide-prone areas occupied by certain subdivisions.
 Unsustainable development of urban areas
 There is no existing over-all plan on pollution prevention. There is a lack of

coordination/communication among concerned agencies in pollution prevention.
Air Pollution
 Insufficient logistics to facilitate monitoring of major industries and commercial

establishments. Monitoring requires a great amount of logistics.
 Existence of industries without pollution preventive devices
 Increasing number of vehicles. There are about 12,000 tricycles and 40 buses and jeeps in
the City that contribute to air pollution.
 Unsustainable practices by local residences. There are still residences that burn trashes
and contributes to the degradation of the ozone layer.
 Not all industrial establishments are complying with ECC and applying Permit to
Operate (PO) for industries generating higher TSP level. For reasons of economy, there
are still establishments who do not comply with the ECC and other environmental laws.
Water Pollution/Contamination
 Fraction of the settlements and most of the informal settlers do not have septic tanks;
 Insufficient wastewater treatment facilities for major commercial and industrial

establishments. The sewage treatment facilities are still being established by the Manila
Water Inc. at Sitio Pinugay.
 Unsustainable practices by local residences. Dumping of waste to nearest water body/ies.
 Not all commercial and industrial establishments are complying with ECC and applying
Discharge Permits (DP) for wastewater generation;
Solid Waste
 Increasing population. Every person generates waste. With an average annual growth rate
of 4.39 percent, Antipolo has to find a way on how to solve its increasing solid waste
generation.
 Increasing number of commercial and industrial establishments. Antipolo provides an

economic environment conducive for investments with cheap labor cost and abundance of
land. Hence, it is expected that commercial and industrial establishments will increase in
the future.
 Unsustainable practices. Throwing of garbage on areas not being hauled by dump trucks.
Hazardous Waste
 Inadequate mitigation measures for hazardous waste generation

 Not all companies (with hazardous waste generated) have complied with the required
ECC /not monitored to secure a Permit to Operate (in compliance to RA 6969)
6.5.3. Implications
 Increasing susceptibility to natural and man-made disasters
 Exposure to health hazards
 Less economic opportunities due to unsanitary surrounding
 Flooding due to improper waste disposal

Chapter 7
Infrastructure and Utilities Sector

Development Plan
(2014-2016)
7.0. Infrastructure and Utilities Sector
The Infrastructure and Utilities Sector is concerned with providing adequate physical base for social
and economic development for the current and projected requirements. It has the following
subsectors:
 Roads and Transport
 Support Services to Economic, Social, Environment and Institutional Development
7.1. Roads and Transport
Urban Road Density
The current road density of Antipolo is 1.01 kilometers per square kilometer (CLUP, 2000-2010).
This falls below the acceptable standard of 2.4 kilometer for urban centers. This seeming shortage of
537 kilometers of road length connotes the need for an increase of roads by 140%.
However, the current data on roads do not include those within subdivision. There are 528 residential
subdivisions listed in Antipolo, and collectively occupy around 31% of the total urban land. With a
residential land area of 8,005 hectares, and a residential subdivision road density of 25 km. per sq.
km., total urban road length would increase by 1,516 km. for a high 6.8 km. per sq. km. road density.
This is a more accurate representation of urban road density in Antipolo.
Rural Road Density
The eastern portions of Antipolo, specifically Brgys. Calawis, San Jose and San Juan have remained
rural. Its road density of 0.8162 kilometer per 100 hectares is way below the standard of 1.5 km. per
100 hectares for rural areas. This requires an additional road length 84.07 kilometers to serve the
population in these barangays.
 Poor Circulation and Accessibility. In the urban area, the major problem is the poor circulation
and lack of mobility due to unguided residential development. Since Antipolo is a popular
dormitory town, residential subdivisions mushroomed at a pace quicker than the construction of
public roads. With an anemic public road system, all the interior spaces were soon occupied by
residential subdivisions. Due to the exclusivity of subdivisions, access is limited and traversing
almost impossible. This condition puts undue strain on the few public roads, which are the only
means of circulation for the growing population. This development hampers mobility within the
City, resulting in traffic congestion and longer travel time.
External Linkages
At present, there are four major roads that allow access to Antipolo, namely, Sumulong Highway,
Marcos Highway, Ortigas Ave. Extension and the Provincial Road. The Provincial Road links the
city to Teresa, while the Ortigas Ext. links it to Taytay, Cainta and Metro Manila. When fully
completed, the MIR will establish its linkage to the east with Tanay. Sumulong Highway and the
Marcos Highway establish the linkage with Cainta and Metro Manila. Although access from the
east and west is sufficient, its northern and southern linkages need to be strengthened. It is clear
that its linkage with the other municipalities of Rizal is lacking. To be a successful and effective
district economic center, Antipolo must strengthen its external linkages, particularly with San
Mateo and Rodriguez on the north and Angono, Morong, Baras and Tanay on the south. Although
roads linking the above-mentioned municipalities are already existing, improvement of surface
pavement, widening and realignment must be conducted if they are to be effective.
7.1.3. Implications
 Decreased mobility
 Longer travel time and higher travel cost
 Congestion in major intersections has worsened air pollution

Objective: To ensure that movement of people and goods are made easier by an efficient transportation
network
Targets Proposed Programs, Projects and Activities
 Strengthen the link between the  Crafting of a Road Master Plan

 Enhance the City’s capability in traffic management
 Conduct a Comprehensive Urban Traffic Management Study
 Conduct a comprehensive Urban Traffic Management Study
 Improvement and expansion of the existing drainage system
 Adoption of a policy of prioritizing infrastructure projects, particularly roads and bridges
 Promote private sector participation in Infrastructure Development
 Traffic Impact Assessment for all the projects that will be established in the City
 Turn over of private roads to the local government for interconnectivity
 Formulate a traffic management scheme for the urban centers which includes:
o Policy that will discourage street side parking
o Policy that will encourage the use of bicycles and walking within the urban area
o Clearance of sidewalk obstructions and sidewalk vending
 Strict implementation of traffic schemes in the City by imposing heavy fines and giving seminars to errant
drivers
The focus of the programs, projects and activities shall be on the improvement of the existing traffic
conditions and in providing the required transport infrastructure for the proposed developments in
Antipolo.
Providing for a good quality and hierarchy of roads will promote efficient intra- and inter-area
movement of goods and people. Moreover, an effective transport and traffic management scheme can
provide for the needed accessibility among the barangay clusters. Examples of such schemes
considered by the city government are an on-street pay parking, observance of a one-side street
parking and removal of pedestrian hazards.
Adequate parking facilities and parking spaces, terminals for public utility vehicles and strategically
located pedestrian-oriented facilities that provide for an efficient vehicular and pedestrian traffic flow
are among the major investments being allocated for by the city government. With the proposed
improvement of existing and construction of new sidewalks, schemes for regulating on-street vending
can be rationalized.
7.1.5. Traffic Action Plan
To immediately address the existing traffic problems, the following measures should be undertaken:
 Vendors should not be allowed to sell on streets

 Both side parking should be prohibited on all roads in the urban district
 For tricycle terminals, it should be ensured that only one side of the street is used.
 With the relocation of the terminals for buses and jeepneys outside the built-up area, more loop
jeepney routes that will transport passengers to the main destinations within the CDB should be
introduced
7.2. Support Facilities
7.2.1.1. Water Utilities and Services
Water supply is one of the major problems in Antipolo brought about by rapid urbanization and by
depleting resource particularly within the city proper. For instance, the Poblacion sitting on the
Antipolo plateau is located at an average elevation of 250 meters, therefore needing complex facilities
in order to supply water if the source will be coming from Balara. This is aggravated by the poor
condition of the existing deep wells and pipelines which register 68% NRW in November, 1998.
Considering the fact that Antipolo has a static level of 14.05 meters below ground surface and an
average output of 0.94 liters per second per meter, it is imperative to target at least 80% of households
to be connected to a viable water supply system. The remaining may be serviced by communal water
system facilities. Priority areas should be the proposed growth nodes of the city inasmuch as it is
expected that these will develop into urban centers. It is noted that groundwater is sufficient in these
areas.
The Manila Water Company, Inc. (MWC), the company responsible for managing water and
watershed services for people in the eastern part of Metro Manila, is committed to provide water to at
least 78% and 97% of the population of Antipolo by the year 2001 to 2021, respectively. It is the task
of the City Government to continue monitoring the progress of this particular endeavor.
7.2.1.2. Drainage and Sewerage
The drainage system in Antipolo is available only in the urban areas and along the major roads such
as the MIR. In general, there is a lack of drainage systems in Antipolo, and yet, flooding is rare,
because the natural terrain of Antipolo allows for the constant flow of surface water. The presence of
numerous creeks for the discharge of surface water also helps control flooding.
The main problem is how to keep the rivers and creeks free from obstructions so that drainage can
flow freely. The absence of the required 3 to 4.5-meter easements on both sides of rivers and creeks
has been noted in the urban areas. This makes the waterway susceptible to clogging since it normally
becomes the recipient of solid waste generated by the adjoining land using activities. Cleaning and
declogging becomes doubly difficult since accessibility is hampered by the absence of easements.
7.2.1.3. Power
MERALCO is the sole supplier of power in Antipolo. It supplies power to all barangays in Antipolo.
All the barangays have electricity although only 76% of the households are energized
7.2.1.4. Telecommunications
Postal Services
There are two (2) postal offices in Antipolo, one located in the Poblacion, and the other in Brgy.
Mayamot. Nine (9) letter carriers serve the area with about 24 support staff. Assuming a population of
462,644, the ratio of letter carrier to the population is 1:51,400. Based on the standard set by the
Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLRB), it is most efficient to have 1 letter carrier to
service 5,000 residents. However, a compliance with this standard will certainly be hampered by
budgetary constraints. Thus, assuming a household size of 6 and a total population of 462,644, the
number of letter carriers should be increased to 15, at a ratio of 1 letter carrier per 5000 households.
Private courier services must also be encouraged in the City.
Communications
Aside from the cellular telephone companies, the main company rendering telephone services is the
Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT). With its Zero Backlog Program, PLDT has
installed thousand of new lines in the City not only in the Poblacion area but in lower Antipolo as
well. Coping with the challenge of a much needed new lines to augment the present demand for
additional lines, PLDT, PT&T and BAYANTEL have launched their respective programs in order to
render the much needed services to the people that would supplement the increasing demand for more
lines. PLDT has 7,766 installed units activated bringing the telephone density to 1.68 telephones per
100 persons and it expects to install 10,200 more lines by 2000. Considering the role that the City of
Antipolo will play in the Metro Rizal area, it is imperative that the telephone density be increased to at
least 1 telephone per 20 persons, which entails the installation of about 5,200 new units over the next
two years. Other telecommunication companies must be encouraged to invest in the area. Likewise,
public pay-phones may be installed in strategic areas especially in far-flung barangay and sitios with
tourism potential.
 Limited water supply. Antipolo has a very high elevation that makes it difficult to supply water. In
fact, in the Philippines, Antipolo is considered third highest in terms of elevation. Poor condition
of deep wells and pipelines Manila Water Company services urbanized growth areas (38% of
households) only while other barangays depend on the spring development projects of the local
government
 Poor drainage and sewerage. Drainage system are outdated and only found in urban areas.
Absence of river easements in urban areas. There exist a maximum utilization of buildable area
that blocks natural water run-off
 Limited coverage of electricity. Lack of distribution lines to some interior areas. All the barangays
have electricity although only 76% of the households are energized
 Limited access to telecommunication services. Lack of telecommunication facilities such as cell

sites in some areas;
 Insufficient social infrastructure support. 583 classroom deficiency at 1:40, ES (2008); 197
classroom deficiency at 1:40, HS (2008); Insufficient health centers that are Sentrong Sigla
accredited;
 Insufficient economic infrastructure support. Limited irrigation systems, farm to market road, post
production support facilities like grain drying and cold storage, slaughterhouse and markets.
7.2.3. Implications
 Decreased quality of life

 Increased susceptibility to natural disasters such landslides and flooding
 Reduced economic opportunities

Chapter 8
Institutional Sector Development Plan

(2014-2016)
8.0. INSTITUTIONAL SECTOR
The Institutional Sector is likened to a calyx of a flower that holds the entire sectors together. Like the
Infrastructure Sector, this Sector is also involved in all the activities of the other sectors in providing
the legal bases for all government transactions.
8.1. Situational Analysis
The Comprehensive Development Plan of the City of Antipolo (2000-2013) has come a long way in
Local Government Administration. Having identified the requirements for good governance, the City
Government of Antipolo had responded accordingly and put into place all the requisites to run an
effective government.
With the enactment of RA 9184 or the Government Procurement Act, the City recognized the need for
a Procurement Officer that shall oversee all procurement activities of the City Government in terms of
goods, services and infrastructure needs. A Tourism Officer on a consultancy basis was hired to tap
the tourism potential of the City.
For personnel development, a Reorganization Program was implemented in 2008 that aimed to
professionalize Public Service in the City Government. To date, there are 993 regular personnel and
1,097 casual personnel in the City as of 2012. The City Government is successful in its objective to
professionalize the service but fell short to reduce the number of casual employees of the City.
In terms of Investment Programming, the advent of the Rationalized Planning System in 2007 via the
Joint Memorandum Circular 001-2007 promulgated by the four agencies of development (DILG,
NEDA, DBM & DOF), paved the way to systematize not only the investment programming of the
City but the whole local planning process in general. Today, the City boasts of being one of the firsts
to be RPS compliant in the Province of Rizal and perhaps in Metro Manila. In addition, as mandated
by the LGC, the City has functioning technical working groups that support its active City
Development Council. Participatory approaches to planning made the formulated plans and programs
of the City more comprehensive.
For legislations, the City has enacted Ordinances and Resolutions reflective of the needs of the
people. However, outdated policies like the Revenue Code need to be revisited to respond to every
changing needs of the Society.
8.3. KEY ISSUES AND CHALLENGES
8.3.1. Local Fiscal Management
8.3.1.1. Soundness of Fiscal Management
 Low Level of Revenue Collection. The low level of revenue collection rate is attributed to several
factors, among them are the following:
a. Outdated Revenue Code
b. Unlocated real property tax owners due to wrong address provided, and unrecorded transfer
of CTC
c. Boundary dispute/encroachment of city properties by neighboring towns
d. Overlapping properties, Unlocated/untied properties
e. Sold properties by developers, but not yet transferred (CTC and Tax Declaration)
f. Abandoned subdivisions by developers
g. Properties under court litigation

3-day Workshop to Update the CDP/ELA for 2014-2016
 IRA Dependency. Historical trending of the City’s Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shows
Antipolo has yet to surpass the 60 percent mark in terms of IRA dependency. This is also the
result of the low level of revenue gained from the City’s economic enterprises. Further, the
adoption of the chartered cities at the national level will reduce the amount of IRA the City will
receive as there are more cities that will share the pie.

 Unstable annual per capita public services expenditure. The way the City spends for the needs of
its constituents also is reflective of the City’s responsiveness and program thrusts. The City
spends an average of PhP 1,286.36 per capita for the last three years, with 2012 at PhP 1,215.59
per capita being the lowest.
The top three objects of public services spending for the period 2010-2012 were 1) Nutrition,
Health, and Basic Social Services; 2) Infrastructure and Physical Development Programs; and 3)
Sanitation and Environment. The lowest three on the other hand were 1) Culture and Tourism
Programs; 2) Livelihood and Housing Programs; and 3) Agriculture Development. Education and
Sports Development, Resource Generation and Mobilization Programs, and Order and Public
Safety were packed in the middle of the ranking.

 Dependence on the natural increase in income. The natural increase in income may not match
population increases. Since resources are always scarce and unlimited needs and wants always
unlimited, relying merely on the natural income increases would always result to project
backlogs, unbudgeted programs and projects. Exploring other sources and ways to augment the
city’s income is always necessary to effectively serve the constituents. One such way is by
forging stronger relationship with Antipolo’s sister city in South Korea, Cheonan City through the
“big brother-small brother” relationship. Under this scheme, a city government delegation could
schedule a visit to Cheonan to promote Antipolo as a key investment site for possible economic
ventures. Moreover, Cheonan could be encouraged to provide donations in the form of buildings
along the city's thrust of education and health.

 Outdated Revenue Code & Schedule of Fair Market Values. The existing Revenue Code being
utilized by the city was adopted in 2000. Many changes have already transpired that the existing
Revenue Code could no longer respond to especially on the city’s needs. A draft legislative
measure updating the Revenue Code has been formulated and awaiting legislation.
 Fragmented efforts of the City in Resource Generation and Mobilization. For the past ten years,
the City initiated various efforts to address the need for additional funds that would support the
operational needs of the City. However, concerned agencies like the Treasury, BPLO, CEEO and
other income generating units of the City Government have fragmented efforts that may either
complement or contradict the effort of the other. A compendium of various legislations that are
only reactive to the pressing issues is attached to the already outdated Revenue Code.
Harmonization of these fragmented efforts may also be cost effective on the part of the City
Government.
8.3.1.2. Strengthening the linkage between local planning and local budgeting
In management, budgeting is a part of the planning process to ensure that the planned programs,
projects, and activities will have its corresponding budget for uninterrupted operations. Harmonization
efforts to forge a strong link between these two functions have to be continued and intensified until
the practice comes naturally. A strong plan-investment program-budget linkage will make the budget
an effective instrument in implementing programs and strategies.
8.3.2. Organization and Management
An organization is made up of people, tools, and facilities. An absence of one of these elements would
make the organization ineffective in realizing its goals.
8.3.2.1. Effectiveness of local government structures and facilities
 Human Resources and Management Office. One of the most important aspects of development
is the human resource present in the organization that directs the development of the City. In this
regard, the HRMO is committed through the Personnel Selection Board to hire the most
competent and potential candidates for the city government workforce to ensure quality public
service. Mechanisms are in place to direct the strategic development of the workforce. A Rewards
System serves as an incentive to encourage personnel to work fruitfully. However, there is the
glaring absence of a Human Resource Management Plan. In 2012, high dependence on
consultancy services for the City existed and this reflects the inadequacy of the present personnel.
 Tools. With the thrust to hire a capable workforce and to some degree to lessen the dependency
on consultants, adequacy of modern technology tools like computers, photocopying machines,
survey instruments and the like will facilitate an efficient and effective workforce, thereby
creating savings in operations and delivery of public services.
 Facilities. Good governance is a two-way traffic. On the other end are the recipients of the
service, the constituents. Hence, care must be taken in providing the best facilities for the people’s
comfort and convenience. After all, a significant part of them is the taxpayers that pay for the
operation of the City Government. Some of the facilities of the City Government need to be
maintained and improved like the taxpayers’ lounge, public restrooms and facilities for the senior
citizens and the differently-abled.
8.3.2.2. Boundary Dispute
Historically, the City has a total area of approximately 38,911 hectares. However, the City’s Charter
reflects only 38,504.44 hectares while the National Mapping and Resource Information Authority
(NAMRIA) records only 29,000 hectares for the City’s territorial jurisdiction. Given these data, the
City must find ways to protect its declining territorial jurisdiction. The neighboring towns like San
Mateo and Taytay have conducted their own survey to protect their jurisdiction.
The Technical Working Group (TWG) created in 2009 for Boundary Disputes has come up with a
report establishing the legal claims for the Phase 1 of the said Program.
8.3.3. Legislative Output
8.3.3.1. Quality of Policies
In 2012, the Sangguniang Panlungsod enacted/passed 283 ordinances and resolutions pertaining to the
different development sectors. Below is a summary of these resolutions and ordinances categorized
per development sector or cross-sector groups:
Sector Resolutions/Ordinances
1 Social Sector 101
2 Economic Sector 14
3 Physical Land Use Sector 77
4 Environment Sector 8
5 Institutional Sector 74
6 Physical Land Use/Econ Sector 4
7 Physical Land Use/Institutional 1
Sector
8 Physical Land Use/Social Sector 2
9 Institutional/Social Sectors 1
10 Social/Economic Sectors 1
Total 283
Clearly, the main bulk of the legislations in 2012 focused on issues and concerns related to the Social,
Physical Land Use, and Institutional Sectors.
8.3.3.2. Effectiveness of information retrieval
At present, information retrieval in the Sanggunian Panlungsod is partially computerized. Though the
records can be retrieved from the digitized file, care must be taken in the storage of the hard copies
particularly of the attachments of enacted ordinances and resolutions (Deed of Donations, Lot Plans
etc.). The City can consider the use of modern methods of file storage system like digitized files,
microfilms, among others.
8.3.4. NGO/PO/CSO Linkage
8.3.4.1. Quality of participation of the private sector in government transactions
Quality of participation can be seen in various ways. One is the quality of participation in terms of
decision-making. However, representations of non-government organizations to local special bodies
are in place, their participation must not be limited to mere attendance to the various meetings
conducted by the City Government. They must be an active part of the planning process and decision
making on various issues.
The other kind of participation is seen in various development projects of the City Government. In
this regard, private sector participation is very insignificant as shown in the records of their
participation in the implementation of the 20% development projects of the City as reflected in the
Local Governance Performance Management System. More often than not, public participation is
limited to projects of small magnitude such as the feeding program, medical missions among others.
The private sector is a source of untapped resource that the City must explore in the future.
8.4. IMPLICATIONS
 Low level of income for an effective operation of the LGU. Unsound fiscal management results to
a level of income that is not sufficient to support a City with an annual growth rate of 4.9 percent.
 Limited services in terms of health, education, social welfare among others. With limited
available resources caused by low level of income comes limited opportunities to spend on
various issues and concerns faced by the constituents such as health, education, social welfare,
among others. Sound allocation of the meager resources to balance spending distribution to the
various sectors may be studied.
 Limited opportunities for the LGU to expand its services. Unless the City explores other economic
ventures and other sources of funds, its services will remain to be reactive to the pressing needs of
its people.
 Dependence on various consultancy services. Inadequacy of technologically- and technically-

skilled government personnel results to outsourcing of these skills that prove very costly to the
City Government.
 Limited opportunities to expand services rendered to the constituents. Unless the City will explore
other economic ventures and other sources of funds, its services will remain to be reactive to the
pressing needs of its people
 Quality of ordinances is compromised

 Limited opportunities for the City Government since it cannot respond to various issues without a
legal basis.

8.7. SPECIAL PROGRAMS AND PROJECTS
8.7.1. A Planned Unit Development: Antipolo City Government Center
BACKGROUND
Section 12 of Republic Act 7160, otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, mandates
Local Government Units (LGU) to establish their own Government Center where all LGUs services
are located. It is based on the concept of a “One Stop Shop” where constituents can avail of various
services within just a few steps apart.
In the City Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) for 2000-2010, the establishment of a
Government Center is one of the identified projects for Institutional Development. The project
conceptualization stage, however, started back in the ‘90s when the blueprint of the City’s
development was laid down through the national framework plan entitled, MARILAQUE Framework
Plan. Through the efforts of then DILG Undersecretary Atty. Victor R. Sumulong, Antipolo was
envisioned to be the Center of the Eastern Growth Corridor in the plan. With this, the City
Government started its internal preparations towards realizing the vision of being one of the major
cities of the Eastern Growth Corridor.
Part of these preparations is the establishment of a Government Center at the heart of the City, along
the eastern corridor of the Marikina Infanta Road. It is envisioned to serve the City’s constituents
while at the same time providing a catalyst for development in the dormant eastern portion of the
City. To realize this dream, the City Government is amortizing a sixty-three (63) hectare property
located at Sitio Cabading, Barangay San Jose where the Government Center shall be located, along
with several other developments projects like housing for employees, a multimodal terminal, a sports
complex, and a mixed-use development.
RATIONALE
The current seat of the city government is located at the city’s Poblacion where the Antipolo
Cathedral and the City Public Market are also situated. Congestion is a perennial problem as these
three establishments are major traffic generators. In addition, the existing condition of infrastructure
components like narrow roads and built up structures in the area contribute to the congestion
experienced in the Poblacion.
Given these conditions, the City Government opted to relocate the seat of government to Sitio
Cabading, over two other alternative sites, where major developments are still possible to serve the
multifarious needs of Antipolo’s growing population. The new location will pave the way for more
effective governance given its strategic location and allow the integration of the centrality concept in
the design. In this way, equitable distribution of economic activity will be given attention to stir the
dormant portions of the City.
Another factor that led to the decision to choose Sitio Cabading over the two other alternative sites is
the fact that it has been identified in the City’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) for 2000-
2010 as one of the growth centers of development along with the Poblacion, the Masinag Area, and
the Pinugay Area. These and other factors contributed to the development of the Government Center
at Sitio Cabading, Barangay San Jose.
PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
Goal Objectives
To develop a Master Site Development Plan for a 1. To assess the viability of establishing a
Government Center that will exemplify the Government Center through a site selection
aspirations of the City for more effective criteria;
governance through the accessibility of public 2. Specify the requirements of a One Stop Shop
services and other amenities to the people through established guidelines and related
projects;
3. To develop a Government Center with a
minimal impact on the environment.
4. Provide a mixed use environment that may
serve a model practice to other government
offices;
5. Integrate urban and rural fringes of Antipolo to
the over-all City development program by
promoting balance in the site development
6. Decongest the current poblacion from
pollution and traffic;
7. Increase Government Tax Revenues through
the consequent increase in land values in the
central and northern part of the City.
LOCATION AND VICINITY MAP
Sitio Cabading is located in Barangay San Jose, about 20 kilometers from the Poblacion. It is
accessible through the Marikina Infanta Road (formerly Marcos Highway). It is located at the very
heart of the City.

Vicinity Map
SITE ANALYSIS
Sitio Cabading was chosen as the site of the new Government Center because of the following
advantages:
 Centrality. The site is literally located at the heart of Antipolo as seen in the above vicinity map. It
will serve the purpose of situating the Government Center away from the congestion of the
Poblacion as well as stir development in the dormant western portions of the City.
 Accessibility. The site is easily accessible from Metro Manila through the Marikina Infanta Road.
Support facilities are found within fifteen (15) minutes from the site such as a market, hospitals,
and schools among others.
 Strategically located. The Marikina-Infanta Road links Sitio Cabading to the provinces/cities
of Marikina, Rizal, Laguna and Quezon.

PROSPECTIVE USERS
The following users are the expected users of the Antipolo City Government Center:
a. Antipolo Residents. The primary users will be the residents of the City of Antipolo. The project
will offer a one-stop-shop for securing all public service requirements of the residents, built
around a concept of a satellite city, this being in fulfillment of its mandates to serve its taxpayers.
This would hence bring about efficiency and accessibility in terms of public service provision.
Additionally the main targeted clientele of the commercial and recreation facilities are the
residents of the City.
b. Property Owners. These are residents or non-residents of Antipolo who own land or business
establishments in Antipolo. This group will transact with the city government on site development
activities and investment ventures.
c. Residents of Nearby Towns. As envisioned to be the main Service Center in Rizal Province,
national government agencies will definitely set up offices in the government center to continue
catering to the needs of the residents of the whole province. In addition, the commercial center
and recreation facilities that will also be constructed within the center will attract residents of
nearby towns, especially those from the eastern side of Antipolo. A proposed multimodal
transport terminal will likewise benefit the residents of nearby towns.
d. Students and Researchers. With the construction of the proposed Public Library and the Antipolo
City Heritage Museum, the government center will also be a venue for learning and research.
These two proposed structures will be a venue for educating Antipoleños and other interested
persons on the City’s culture and arts.
e. City Government Employees. Within the government center will also rise a housing project for
Antipolo government employees, thus making the government center the site of both their home
and their office. The commercial facilities would also be the logical choice for their recreation
making the center a live-work-play center.
f. Employees of National Government Agencies. The same requirement of the City Government
Employees applies to the employees of National Government Agencies. However, provision of a
staff quarters may be a necessity for these employees since most of them do not reside within the
City’s jurisdiction.
g. Workers, Tourists and Passersby. With the plan not only focusing on service improvement and
accessibility but also on economic activity, the incorporated commercial center shall serve as the
workplace for targeted BPOs and attendants of retail stores. With a commercial center bearing the
culture and historical pride of Antipolo, the site is expected to usher in tourists and passersby,
hence contributing to the overall economic activity of the City.
ACTIVITY ANALYSIS
Activities that the Government Center must take into consideration are as follows:
1. Government Transactions
ACTIVITIES
Local Government Unit  Social Services Related Activities – activities for the rendering of
services related to health and nutrition, social welfare services,
educational support services and housing and community
development;
 Technical Services – these are activities for the provision of

technical services like Engineering, Planning, Solid Waste
Management Services and Environmental services;
 Financial and other Institutional Services – these are services

intended for the city’s revenue generation and general operations
such as Executive, Legislative, Treasury & land Tax, Assessment
Services, Accounting, Procurement Services among others.
National Government Activities related to National Government Agencies will also be

Agencies given consideration. Most of these NGAs are service oriented that
there should be enough space for public waiting areas.
2. Culture, Arts and Tourism Related Activities – Services rendered in a Government Center should
not be limited to government transactions. Rather, the design should also take into consideration
the other general welfare goals like the promotion of culture and arts. Part of the development
should include facilities that will house activities for museum, library and other culture related
developments.
3. Mixed Used Development – This component of the Government Center offers a variety of
activities ranging from shopping, dining, sightseeing among many others.
4. Housing Related Activities – Housing activities ranges from sleeping, dining, family activities
and others.
ARCHITECTURAL CHARACTER
 Design Concept
“A Government Center of Antipolo City: A Civic Place in a Protected Area” (Adopted from the
Undergraduate Thesis by Ms. Joan Marie Tachado, U.P. Diliman, 2000).
a. A government center that imbues civic aspirations, culture and pride of the Antipoleños;
b. A government center that would promote efficient governance, equitable development and
delivery of public services to its constituents;
c. A government center that would be accessible to probable users.
 Over-all Design Considerations
a. The design should depict the local character of Antipolo City: An urbanizing city at a rural
setting;
b. Monumental in character as if imposing authority over the land of its territorial jurisdiction;
c. Simple elegance
d. High quality public realm that encourages participation among the people in the community;
e. Physically, it must be pedestrian, business and environmentally friendly facilities;

traditions, socio economic values, environmental quality and cultural heritage of the
region concerned towards evolving a distinct Filipino Architecture;
 The architectural character of public buildings/structure must fully express the nature of
their function, use or occupancy and should reflect their identity as public buildings or
structure.
Here are some of the images for the proposed government center.
Rizal Provincial Capitol
Antipolo City Hall Façade U.P. Mini Chapel
b. Housing
 Lot sizes shall be based on the status of the employee:
 Managerial – 120 sq.m
 Supervisory – 96 sq.m
 Rank and File – 50 sq.m
 A port'e cochere over the entrance porch that helps give the house and entrance a distinct
character and orientation.

Monitoring and Evaluation
PLAN IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND EVALUATION (M&E)
Planning does not only end in the formulation of plans. It is a cyclical process that involves
coordination, monitoring, and evaluation of the implemented development programs and projects. The
local planning structure provided by the Rationalized Planning System (RPS) considers the sectoral
bodies to perform the monitoring and evaluation of the planned programs, projects, and activities
(PPAs).
Planning and implementation should be followed by Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E). It is in this
light that the Monitoring and Evaluation (M&E) was formulated which serves as the performance-
financial management-based tool of governance, with this; you can identify programs, projects, and
activities if they get proper budgetary allocations. However, its purpose is not only to dwell on the
budget process but also to assess the efficiency of the proper utilization of the public expenditure to
contribute in realization of the output, outcome, and desired impact for the attainment of the general
welfare.
Further, planning implementation, monitoring and evaluation also involves the determination of the
problems in the implementation resulting in the slippages, shortcomings among others between its
planning stage and its implementation.
Below is the Monitoring and Evaluation Framework for the development plans of the City
Government specifically the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA):
Hereunder is the monitoring and evaluation (M&E) form in consonance to the ELA M&E Form of the
Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG):
