MUNICIPALITY OF ROSARIO, CAVITE
CHAPTER I. BRIEF PROFILE OF ROSARIO, CAVITE
1. BRIEF HISTORY
On October 22, 1845, Spanish Governor General Narciso Claveria promulgated a

Decree for the establishment of a new town comprising Salinas-Leiton and Tierra Alta of San
Francisco de Malabon, what is now known as the town of Gen. Trias. On the 27th October,
Don Juan Arlegui, Vicar-General of the Archdiocese of Manila informed the Politico-Military
Governor of Cavite Don Miguel Roca, that he was designated by the Governor-General to
look for a person of unquestionable integrity who will be entrusted with the money for the
construction of the church building.
On November 3, 1845, Presbyter Don Mamerto Ner, who was at that time one of the
best priests of the Curia of Manila, was appointed parish priest and served until December
1866.
The Municipality of Rosario was originally a part of San Francisco de Malabon

(now General Trias, Cavite). It became an independent municipality in 1846, one year after
the founding of the Santissimo Rosario Parish. Rosario was formerly called Tejero, which
may have originated from the word “tejer” (Spanish “to weave”) because weaving fish nets
was then the main occupation of the women. Rosario was also called Salinas derived from
the word “sal” (Spanish “salt”) during the Philippine Revolution because salt-making was a
prime industry of the town. The place was likewise called Marcella or “Marcelles” due to its
proximity to the sea (“mar” in Spanish).
Rosario was, finally, named in honour of their patroness Nuestra Señora Virgen del
Santissimo Rosario, Reina de Caracol (or Our Lady of the Most Holy Rosary). The second
smallest town in the province of Cavite, Rosario has now emerged into the "biggest" neither
in terms of its land area nor its per capita income but because of the great transitions that
occurred with the town's political, social, cultural and economic developments since 1845.
There are three religious versions for naming the town "Rosario." One version says,
the image of the Madonna and the Child was found one day floating on the water by a group
of kids playing along the seashore. They played with the image, using it as a toy and
afterwards hid it in the bushes near the sea. Every time they came back, however, they would
see the image already floating leisurely on the water, as if waiting for them. They thought it
strange, but could not explain how the image got back to the water.
Not long after their elders learned about the image and took it to an empty nipa hack.
Thus began a public adoration of the Madonna and Child. The hut was transformed into a
place of worship. News of miraculous happenings attributed to the image spread around.
The religious fervour was so great and the people were moved by the image that they
decided to adopt it as the patroness of the town and changed the name Salinas
Marcella to Rosario. However, the town’s original name “Salinas” is still cherished.

To date, the different names given to the town are remembered. Marcella exists as one
of the national roads of the town. Salinas is associated with the finest and famous smoked
fish (Tinapang Salinas) produced by the townspeople. Rosario as an agro-industrialized
fishing hamlet along the coastlines of Manila Bay, is occupied by productive, peace-loving
and God-fearing people who devotedly venerate the Nuestra Señora Virgen del Santissimo
Rosario de Caracol as their patroness.

2. HUMAN RESOURCE
The analysis of Rosario’s demographic data and its projection is based on the
Census of Population done by the National Statistics Office in the year 2000 and 2007. The
2010 projected population was processed using the computed participation rates of each
barangay as well as their respective growth rates considering that population growth was
found to be unique in different localities. Data were subjected to geometric formulas to come
up with the projected 2010 municipal population.
2.1 Population Size
Rosario’s total population, according to the 2010 figures of the National Statistics
Office, is 92,253. Rosario’s potential labour force comprises 59.25% of the figure given

above, with the majority engaged in fishing and trade activities. The average family size is at
4.21 per household. It remains to be the most densely population of the province. Its soaring
population attributed to the existence of Cavite Economic Zone, a favourite destination for
job seekers and migrants from neighbouring municipalities and provinces.
2.2 Growth Rate
The population growth of Rosario is largely being affected by in-migration. In-

migration was due to flock of workers from the Metro Manila and nearby provinces looking
for more liveable, cost efficient and accessible locations for their residences. A significant
number is also brought about by the efforts to eliminate informal settlers in other
municipalities and cities. They are able to find decent dwellings in various localities in Cavite
and/or cheap boarding houses around Rosario.
In the year 1903, Rosario had a little population of 6,601. This increased by 516
persons in censal year 1918. The biggest average growth was 3.91 percent recorded in 1970
where the population grows to 23,817. The trend continued up to 1980 where the persons
indicated numbers to 33,312. Between 1980 and 1990, there was a rapid growth of
population counted at 12,093 persons or 3.14% which were attributed to workers belonging
to locators inside Cavite Economic Zone.
Since the year 1990 up to the last census done in the year 2007, the population
growth rate of Rosario was highly ranged at 3.45%. However, in the year 2010, the
population growth rate started to show a downward trend as exhibited by the decrease of
1,975. The average growth rate per annum is 2.27% (Source: NSO 2010) which is due to
displacement of worker in the Cavite Export Processing Zone. These data on population
growth rate shows the uniqueness of demography characteristics in the Municipality.

 Urban Population
The industrialization peaks in Rosario during the 1990s with the arrival of more
investors in the Cavite Economic Zone and the presence of SM City after 2007, boosted the
municipality’s population and economy as well as helped in increasing its employment
opportunities, thus sustaining its 100 percent urban status .

 Tempo of Urbanization
We can proudly say that the Municipality of Rosario had improved tremendously
during the years in almost all aspects of life. From being a remote simple area it has now
transformed and became one of the highly urbanized first class municipalities in the Province
of Cavite, adjoining other first class municipalities. From being dominantly agriculture, it now
leads in industrialization.
First and foremost, the existence of the largest Eco Zone in the region, the so called
EPZA which stands for Export Processing Zone Authority is located and under the jurisdiction
of the Municipality of Rosario, contributed a lot to the huge influx of in-migrants and
increasing employment rate for our constituents. This is a good sign that there are more
opportunities and economic gain within the municipality.
These duly registered zone enterprise inside the Cavite Export Processing Zone
which comprises around 382 duly registered zone enterprises inside, which manufactures
export goods and renders services for the welfare of the people of Rosario and in-migrants
as well. Employment rate is increasing and this connotes a better way of life for everybody.
The basic need of man is being met by having money on the pocket. This lessens the craving
for the most vital source of life of humanity which is food.
Nonetheless, we have SM City Rosario that caters equal degree of purposes and
objectives for the people of Rosario. Its importance and great help to all cannot be denied
and set aside. Opens lots of job opportunities not only for Rosario residents but also those
applicants coming from nearby municipalities and provinces.
Providing the people with a very minimal low cost of land for housing is another way
of the Municipality of Rosario showing its intense desire to uplift the lives of the people.
So much that the roads, bridges, water supply system, power electricity, the needs
for hospitalization/medical including medicines, financial assistance, funeral assistance,
educational/scholarship grants senior citizens assistance, repairs and improvement of the
Municipal Market and the likes, these are just few among so many things to be mentioned
served and given to the people of Rosario, correlating with the slogan “Walang Sinumang
Squatter sa Sariling Bayan” which is our Municipal Mayor’s ultimate goal and objective for
his most loved “Kababayan.”
2.3 Density
Rosario is 100% highly urbanized according to the National Statistics Office

classification. It is one of the densest municipalities in the province of Cavite. It is known to
be the pioneer of concentrated manufacturing industry because of the presence of Cavite
Economic Zone which paved the way for Cavite’s industrial revolution. For this reason, in-
migration is a continuous phenomenon since the early 1990’s up to this date. People tend to
flock in areas where they can find employment and eventually decide to settle there with their
families.

 Population Density
The Barangays of Sapa II, Tejeros Convention and Wawa III have become
overpopulated due to the presence of informal settlers who were displaced in other places.
Thus, it has a present population density of 120 per square hectare.
As to household population, Barangay Sapa IV has the least number of household at

229 while Barangay Tejeros Convention has the most, numbering to 3,566. The average
family size of the municipality household is currently measured at 4.21.

entirety, 41,514 are males (45%) and 50,739 are females (55%) or a ratio of male for every
1.8 female.
The municipality has a very young population as per Age Distribution of the 2010
NSO census. An estimated 12.33% of the people are 14 years old and under (non-working
group), not a healthy indicator of a productive generations to follow.

Those in the production age bracket (15-54 years old) registered a large 47,203 or
64.07 percent of the total population. The senior citizens (60 years and above) remained
second at 21,771 (23.6%).

under constitute 12.33%; the working age group 15 to 64 years old, 47.20%; while the seniors
or 65 years old and above, 40.47%. Hence, the number of dependents (0-14 years old and
65 years old and over) or the dependency ratio reflected as to the working age (15 to 64
years old) is 52.80%. This dependency rate reflects that for every 100 working population,
there are 52.8 dependents in which 12 is coming from the young dependents and 40 comes
from the old dependents.
 Mother Tongue
Job opportunities have made Rosario the prospective destination among migrants.
Despite of in-migration, Tagalog remains the language spoken. However, certain ethnic
groups when among themselves speak their respective dialects such as Bicol, Cebuano,
Ilokano, Pampango, Waray, and Maranao. This is expected due to the influx of in-migrants.

3. PHYSICAL FEATURES
3.1 Geographic Location
The Municipality of Rosario, a

town in the Province of Cavite occupies
the North-Western section of the
province along the western coast of
Luzon. Its absolute location is within N
coordinates 120 degrees 50 min. 30
second to 120 degrees 53 min. 00
second East and 14 degrees 4 min. 00
second to 14 degrees 26 min. 00 second
North. Situated in the peripheral zone of
the metropolis, some 30 kilometers away,
it is bordered by the Municipalities of
Noveleta to the northeast, General Trias to the southeast and Tanza to the Southwest.
It lies 30 km south of Manila, and 17 km south-southwest of Cavite City. It is

accessible by land and water (sea) transportation. With the continuous expansion of Metro
Manila, the municipality is now included in Manila conurbation which reaches Lipa City in its
southernmost part. The Manila Bay and Corregidor Island are situated northwest of the town.
 Topographic and Physiographic Features
Confirmed along the coastal flats of the south-western section of Luzon, the
municipality exhibits minimal relief with a generally flat topography not exceeding five meters
in elevation. The area is characterized by physiographic monotony having slopes limited to
the 0-3 percent category. Together with other municipalities of Noveleta, Kawit and Bacoor,
it serves as a catch basin and discharge point of the watershed unit defined by the Tagaytay
ridge.
 Hydro-geologic Characteristics
Rosario may be described as deltaic plain. It is completely underlain with

unconsolidated deposits of gravel, sand, silt and clay. Studies by the Geosciences and
Mines Bureau reveal that these deposits are of recent area. While alluvium formations have
generally good potentials for subterranean water storage, these are modified by soil system
found in the locality.
The municipality is drained principally by two major river systems hose headwaters
originate from Tagaytay uplands. To the east, traversing the Barangays of Tejeros
Convention, Ligtong (II, III, and IV) and Bagbag I runs in Maalimango River whose
distributaries empty into Manila Bay. The larger and meandering Cañas River forms the
town’s south-western boundary with Tanza. It is responsible for unloading for unloading

large amounts of sediments which accounts for the observed shallowing of the port area.
This further enhanced by an active coastal erosion process. The effect of a long shore
current and the resulting beach drift phenomenon means an accumulation of depositional
features along the municipality’s north-western coast.
It may be noted that in the province, deposition may be observed in Rosario, Noveleta
and Cavite City. It was in fact actual water withdrawal or discharge rates are not available,
the local water demand supplied by 1,962 artesian wells (1995) and the water need of the
Cavite Economic Zone, there are two tanks with 400,000 gallons capacity within the complex
coupled with the volume withdrawn by 10 Maynilad pumping stations to serve the demands
of Rosario and Cavite City. It was obvious that the consumptive use of groundwater
resources is tremendous.
One problem associated with hydro-geologic regime of Rosario is flooding. The

extent of flooding in the municipality is a result of several factors interaction. First, the
dominance of clayey substratum in the soil horizon dive rise to poor permeability and water
percolation. This results in excessive surface run-off particularly during monsoonal
downpours which are characterized by heavy precipitation. Second, the generally flat terrain
and low gradient/slope contribute to slow water movement and localized water impounding.
Third, while flooding may only be slight and seasonal, this can be exacerbated by tidal
movements. The occurrence of torrential rains during high tide can wreak havoc to further
worsen the situation. Depicted areas affected by floodwaters include most coastal
barangays except Wawa III. Although flooding occurrence is only seasonal, it can be
regarded as a crisis of proportions.
 Rock Formations
The surface area of Rosario is underlain by a formation of sedimentary rocks. The

sedimentary rocks consist of alluvium formations which are made up of unconsolidated
deposits of gravel, sand, silt and clay.
Almost 99.9% of the land surface of Rosario is underlain by the alluvial formations.
 Soil Type
Four major soil groups are present in the municipality. The most extensive is the
Guadalupe Clay-Loam with 528.9559 hectares which covers approximately 68.84 % of the
town. Areas with this type of soil includes Barangay Tejeros Convention, Wawa III and
portion of Wawa II, Sapa I, Poblacion, Silangan I, II, Bagbag I, II and Ligtong III.

Figure 2. Distribution of Soil Type
Soil Type Area (Has.) Percent to Total

Quingua Fine Sandy Loam 14.5300 1.89
Guadalupe Clay Loam 528.9559 68.84
Guadalupe Sand 200.0200 26.03
Hydrosol 11.0000 1.43
Rivers 13.8581 1.81
Total 768.3640 100.00
Guadalupe Sand covers the coastal barangays and has an expense of 200.02
hectares representing approximately 26.03 percent of the total area. Near the Noveleta
boundary alongside the Maalimango River, are the Quingua Fine Sandy Loam and Hydrosol
types which, together account for 25.53 Hectares.
Since different type of soil possesses distinct characteristic and properties, each
would naturally exhibit varying degrees of suitability for different uses. Notwithstanding the
fact that the whole of Rosario is classified as an urban area, general suitability classes apply
for dominant uses.
In terms of agricultural use, areas most suitable for rice would be those underlain with
the Quingua Fine Sandy Loam and Guadalupe Clay Loam. Together, they represent 70.73
percent of Rosario’s land area with a total of 543.4859 Hectares. For diversified crops, the
Quingua Fine Sandy Loam will be the most suited while the Guadalupe series would only be
moderately suitable for diversified crops. In both instances, the Hydrosol would not be
suitable. But for fishpond development and other aquaculture ventures, Hydrosol would be
the best.
For urban uses, the most important quality of the soil which determines suitability is
its physical and structural property. That is, from the urban perspective, land as a resource
is not concerned with the fertility and locational significance.
In the case of Rosario, the absence of major physical constraints for urban land uses
which are underlain with hydrosol are unsuitable for urban development. Areas characterized
by Guadalupe Sand and Guadalupe Clay Loam are considered suitable unless they are
frequently inundated by floodwaters which render them only moderately suitable. An area
underlain with Quingua Fine Sandy Loam would be highly suitable. But if these areas are
frequently hit by floods, whether seasonal or otherwise, then they become only moderately
suitable.
 Climate
The climate condition in Rosario is characterized by two (2) pronounced seasons,

Dry from December to April and Wet from May to November.

 Athmospheric Temperature
The mean annual temperature is 27.7⁰C. The months of April and May are the hottest
with average maximum temperature of 34.5⁰C, while the month of February is the coldest
with average temperature of 26.0⁰C.
 Relative Humidity
The North-Easterly winds prevail in Rosario during the months of October to April
and June, while the South-Westerly winds prevail during the months of July to September
and May. The annual average wind speed is 6.2 kilometers per hour.
 Rainfall
The total amount of rainfall counts to 1,766.56 with a monthly average of 147.2 mm.
Maximum rainfall is observed during the month of August with rainfall mean of 533.4 mm.
On the other hand, the months of February and March have minimum rainfall with mean of
0.8 and 0,2 mm. respectively.
 Typhoon
Generally, typhoon develops in the North-western part of the Pacific Ocean between
180⁰ N and 100⁰ E. Approximately 20 tropical storm enters the Philippine Area of
Responsibility in a typical year and of these 6 to 9 usually make landfall. Tropical cyclones
usually account for at least 30% of the annual rainfall in the northern Philippines while being
responsible for less than 10% of the annual rainfall in the southern islands.
 Storm Surge
This abnormal rise of water generated by a storm shows the vulnerability of coastal
areas in the municipality. Thus, it is also expected that storm tide to follow and inundate
areas in the same location affected. Waves will continually break onto shore and water will
propel onto beach and inland.
 Flooding
Flood that swamped throughout Rosario is one problem which maybe noted to occur
but only during monsoonal downpour beginning at the 3rd quarter of the year. This is fuelled
by seasonal monsoon rains and tropical storms. Usually, affected areas include most coastal
barangays only, namely Ligtong I, II, and IV; Sapa II and III, Silangan I; Wawa I, II, and III;
Kanluran; Muzon I, and II. The most devastating flood that hit the community was the typhoon
“Milenyo” on 2006.

Figure 3. Flood Susceptibility
High Flood Areas likely to experience flood heights of greater than 1.0m and/or
Susceptibility flood duration of greater than 3 days. These areas are immediately
flooded during heavy rains of several hours; Include land forms of
topographic lows such as active river channels, abandoned river
channels and areas along river banks.
Moderate Flood Areas likely to experience flood heights of 0.5~1.0m and/or flood
Susceptibility duration of 1~3 days. These areas are subject to widespread
inundation during prolonged and extensive heavy rainfall or extreme
weather condition.
Low Flood Areas likely to experience flood heights of less than 0.5m and/or flood
Susceptibility duration of less than 1 day. These areas include low hills and gentle
slopes. They also have sparse to moderate drainage density.
Three barangays are susceptible to low-to-moderate (0.5~1.0m) flooding - Poblacion,

Sapa I and Sapa IV. The remaining 17 barangays are classified into moderate-to-high (1.0m
above) flood susceptibility (Source: Results of the Mines and Geosciences Bureau’s
1:50,000 scale geo-hazard assessment and mapping of the Municipality of Rosario).
Heavy rains caused the waters of the Manila Bay to swell and flood the town’s coastal and
low lying areas.

3.2 Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Management
Rosario, being a coastal town and the catch basin of watershed coming from the
uplands is very much prone to flooding. Its geographic location can easily sustain
confirmation of this life-long problem. Aside from flooding, the next common natural calamity
it endures is storm surge and monsoon rains brought about by the South-west Monsoon
(Habagat) during the rainy seasons and the North-east Monsoon (Amihan) during the dry
seasons. Likewise, there are no incidences of landslides and rock fall in the whole
municipality.
Affected residents of typhoons and calamities are usually evacuated in covered

courts of every barangay and to some extreme extent, in school premises. Food subsidies
are provided by the local government during this critical time.
Due to these alarming natural occurrences, Rosario was divided into four clusters to
immediately identify areas which are hardly stricken by calamity. These are as follows:
1. Cluster A - Tejeros Convention, Sapa I, Poblacion, Silangan I, Silangan II

2. Cluster B - Sapa III, Sapa IV, Wawa I, Wawa II, Wawa III
3. Cluster C - Bagbag I, Bagbag II, Ligtong I, Ligtong II, Ligtong III
4. Cluster D - Sapa II, Kanluran, Muzon I, Muzon II and Ligtong IV
These twenty (20) Barangay Units conducted workshops, forefronted by the

Municipal Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Council of Rosario with the assistance
of a Non-government Organization (the International Institute of Rural Reconstruction),
drafted a 5-year Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management Plan, which in turn served
as the foundation in constructing the 5-Year Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Plan.
Based from the analysis of the twenty (20) BDRRM Plans, the major cause of flooding
in areas illustrated from the Flood Hazard Map (see List of Maps) were due to clogged
drainage and inadequate outlet of flood. Forces of flood include garbage, sand, water, rocks,
trunk of trees and other dead domestic animals. Common warning signs observed by the
barangays are comprised of continuous heavy rain with strong winds, dark clouds, unnatural
crawling and flying of insects and high-tide. Upon analysis after the warning signs has been
observed, all cluster areas encountered flooding rapidly with approximate time of 30-45
minutes. Annually, the municipality of Rosario experienced flooding at least twice a year
within a period of June to December. The duration of flooding settle within the identified
flooded areas for approximately 1 hour to 1 day on average.
Lastly, the effects of flooding to the communities can leave devastation of household
equipments, sickness, unemployment, disturbance on water quality for household
requirements, increase of garbage, interruption to school activities and disturbance in modes
of transportation.

3.2.1 Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Assessment
Recent occurrences have manifested the effects of climate change in the whole
archipelago. For the past 10 years, typhoons have grown stronger from storm signal number
3 (with winds ranging from 100~185 kph) to storm signal number 4 (winds at the speed of
185 kph and above), which is very unlikely. Summer has gone hotter than the usual, with
temperature rising up to 39°C in Tuguegarao, Cagayan since the hottest temperature ever
recorded at 42.2°C, also in Cagayan. Last year, Metro Manila recorded its hottest at 35.3°C
on April 12, 2012.
The Municipality of Rosario is stricken by at least 20 typhoons every year. Taking

personal experiences into account, it can be asserted that almost half of these are what we
call as “super typhoons.” Risks of losing properties and life have become undeniably
inevitable. The town immensely suffered the wrath of nature on September of 2006 when it
was hit by super typhoon “Milenyo” having winds at the strength of 180 kph and heavy
downpour of rain causing dikes and rivers to overflow. Local Government Units,
spearheaded by the Municipal Social Welfare Development Office, (MSWDO) immediately
attended to the people of Rosario, aiding them with the necessities to survive the tragedy.
This incident ignited the local government to come up with a long term solution in coping with
this predicament. The Municipal Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Office (formerly
known as the Municipal Disaster Coordinating Council) is reactivated and was given enough
prioritization to meet the information and mitigation demands of the constituents.
The Disaster and Risk Reduction Management Act of 2010 and the Climate Change
Act of 2009 are strongly enforced by the MDRRMO. Seminars, workshops, assemblies are
convened in the entire municipality for proper information dissemination. As a whole, Rosario
is very much flood and storm surge-prone, especially the coastal barangays. The MDRRMO
is steadfastly working hand-in-hand with NGOs to fully transmit the ways and means during
times of disaster. And together with the Barangay units, preparedness and readiness plans
are integrated with the local government’s planning framework.
 Municipal Hazard Assessment
The municipal hazard assessment was based from the twenty (20) BDRRM Plans of
Municipality of Rosario. The first set of Participatory Disaster and Climate Risk Assessment
(PDCRA) was developed with the assistance of International Institute of Rural
Reconstruction (IIRR) and the support of United Methodist Committee on Relief (UMCOR)
through the “Modelling Climate Smart and Resilient Communities” project. The second set
of PDCRA was lead by the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office of
Rosario with the help of the community facilitators trained by IIRR. The twenty (20) PDCRA
were analyzed during the Municipal DRRM Planning that turned to the following results:

 Vulnerability Assessment
Vulnerability assessment is based on the location of the elements at risk to the site
of the hazard. In this case the primary hazard is flooding. As you noted from the above
assessment, majority of the identified elements at risk are highly vulnerable to floods. In a
worst case scenario of flooding or prolonged exposure to flood waters, it will damage these
elements at risk. The vulnerability assessment will assist the MDRRM office in identifying
how to protect and strengthen these elements at risks in order to survive the current flooding
and the future worst flooding brought about by climate change.

 Capacity Assessment
The capacity assessment is divided into 4 categories. These are capacities to prevent
the hazard, capacities to mitigate the hazard, capacities for individuals both people and non-
human (e.g. buildings) to survive the hazard and the capacities to save more lives and
properties during the hazard event. The capacity assessment was a consolidated
assessment results of the 20 barangay PDRA. The municipal LGU also did their capacity
assessments. In the assessment also, the existing capacities and the capacity gaps are also
identified. These will inform the MDRRM Office and the council on what programs, projects
and activities is needed to strengthen existing capacities and build capacity gaps.

3.3 Territorial Jurisdiction

Rosario, the second smallest town in Cavite has an approximate land area of
768.3640 hectares. This significantly differs with the records of the Land Management
Bureau (560 ha) and Land Classification Division of the National Mapping and Resource
Information Authority (540 ha). This however compares favourably from that of Pastora
project estimate (789 ha).
While boundary disputes between municipalities remain a controversial issue that

hampers the delineation of actual areas of jurisdiction, other factors which affect the accurate
determination of land area include cross-municipal property tax declaration/payment and
human errors in the area survey and measurement due to the nature of methodology and
technical employed. For this reason (and assuming that the base maps provided by MPDC
are correct), the computer-assisted Geographical Information System (GIS) software
generated 768.3640 hectares is adopted. Pursuant to Sec. 118 of the Local Government
Code of 1991, resolution boundary disputes rest with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan.
3.4 Barangay Subdivision

The municipality has 20 barangays, some of which came about only in 1990. Tejeros
Convention, the biggest barangay with 402.9201 hectares hosts the Cavite Economic Zone
(CEZ). Bagbag II has 49.5784 hectares; Ligtong III (28.5870 ha); and Ligtong II (20.7914
ha). Other barangays with less than ten (10) include Sapa II and Sapa IV.

4. PHYSICAL / INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES
4.1 Transportation Network
Land transportation is accessible from Metro Manila from the six (6) cities and from
the other sixteen (16) municipalities of the province. Traffic volume in Rosario is moderate
to heavy. Heavy traffics occur almost every day along the commercial areas extending up
to the industrial zone (PEZA), especially during rush hours.
4.2 Social Services Facilities/Utilities/Amenities
 Education
Rosario provides education from pre-school to graduate courses. Educational

institutions to date include 20 day care centers, 8 public elementary schools, 2 private
elementary schools, 2 national high schools, 1 state university offering secondary and tertiary
education, 3 private high schools, and 3 other prominent computer schools.
 Health
The health service is provided by the Municipal Health Office. At present, there
were about 21 public health stations with equivalent health workers to care for the needs of
the populace. In the same way, a municipal lying-in clinic was established to provide pre
and post natal services. The municipality also afford free laboratory test and x-ray in the
Hospital on Wheels.
 Housing
There are about 85% (78,451) living on personally owned dwellings. These include
single-detached units, multi-unit residences (apartments, condominiums and townhouses).
In the 17 subdivisions and business district areas, other housing units such as row houses,
commercial, and mixed-used are being used.
Areas that are considered danger zones for living are those located along Caňas
River in Barangays Tejeros Convention; Wawa I, II and III; and along the coast in Barangays
Sapa II, and III; Kanluran; Muzon I, and II; and Ligtong I, and IV.
The Urban Poor Affairs Office (UPAO) has been addressing the needs of the
marginalized and informal settlers to be relocated and acquire home lots through termed
payment.

 Transportation
Rosario is easily accessed by land means from neighbouring cities and towns. It is
only 12 kms from the provincial capitol and 30 kms from Manila. Travelling is even more
trouble-free as PEZA-Bacao Diversion Road is linked to Centennial Road towards Cavitex
Entrance in Kawit.
National Roads traversing the municipality are interconnected with Marseilla St. and
Gen. Trias drive. Combined, it has a length of about 4 kms. All roads totalling more than
32.331 kms.lead to 20 barangays.
The municipality is likewise accessible by sea transportation passing through Manila

Bay.
4.3 Utilities: Power, Water, Communication Network, Road, and

Waste Management
 Power
The Municipality’s power requirements are supplied by MERALCO. The demand for
power supply has not shown a remarkable increase since the last five periods. Commercial
sector is the second biggest consumer of electricity followed by residential sector.
 Water
Ground water is abundant in Rosario which is the major sources both commercial
and industrial uses. Water is supplied by Maynilad Warter Services Inc. (formerly
Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System), domestic deep well and shallow well are
used to supply the needs of the populace.
 Communication Network
Majority of households and business entities are using the services of PLDT for
landline services. Application for landline service is now easy due to the sudden outburst of
competitors like Globe Telecom and Digitel. Access to mobile services is also quite a breeze.
Smart Communication and Globe Telecoms are the stalwarts of this business line.
Telecommunications transmitters were constructed in various areas of the municipality
giving a wide-spread coverage of their network.
At present telephone requirements are provided by the Philippine Long Distance

Telecommunications Company (PLDT), Globe Telecom, Digitel and cellular phone
companies like Smart, Sun Cellular, Talk-and-Text Mobile for mobile phone services. Globe

transmission towers are located in the whole municipality while Smart and Sun Cellular users
are quite visible among the town residents.
Broadcast media (televisions and radio stations) continues to progress and provides
information, entertainment and relevant up-dates to the residents. Cable subscription is
offered by Sky Cable, and Cignal.
Newspaper, magazines are bulletin printed and circulated in the Metropolitan are
readily available to local residents.
 Road
The existing road network in Rosario provides mobility and accessibility to all parts
of the municipality at varying road width. It covers an area of 32,311 hectares.
 Waste Management
The garbage collection and disposal system being implemented by the municipal
government is on contractual basis, renewable on yearly period, with an annual appropriate
of 44 Million in the Municipal Annual Budget CY 2010, the amount includes payment for the
maintenance of dumpsite, and rental of bulldozer and other heavy equipment.
Five (5) trucks are made available, all of which are owned by the municipality and the
other two (2) trucks are owned and operated by a private contractor. Collection is done in all
20 component barangays on a daily basis. The current population of 92,253 can generate a
conservative estimate of 16 metric tons of garbage a day. As stipulated in the contract, each
truck has to haul at least 4 trips a day.
Some local households resort to composting and burning method of waste disposal.
There is a proposed Material Recovery Facility (MRF) located at Barangay Kanluran The
PEZA management operates its own separate solid waste management. The garbage of the
factories is collected and disposed of by junkshop concessionaries operating in the complex.

5. THE ECONOMIC STRUCTURE
5.1 Revenue Resources
Income of the municipality of Rosario comes from different sources and revenue
measures. Its financial profile is composed of shares Internal Revenue Shares (IRA) from
national government, local taxes and shares from Cavite Economic Zone and from the
provincial government.
5.2 Employment
Rosario has 34,015 (36.87%) of its population in the labour force. Of this, 31,023
(91.28%) are employed. This attributed to the presence of Cavite Economic Zone, SM Prime
Holding and the relative proximity to cities of Manila and Makati, which offers sufficient local
work opportunities.
Rosario, component of the growth corridor area, has its minimum wage workers
receiving 327 pesos (source: DOLE-National Wages and Productivity Commission).
5.3 Average Family Income and Expenditure vis-à-vis Poverty Level.
Family income sources are the salaries, wages, allowances etc. while expenditures
are the expenses made for items to be consumed. Average family income in 2009 is 206
thousand pesos while the average family expenditures is Php176,000.00. (These figures are
as of 04 February 2011 of NSCB 2009 Family Income and Expenditure).
In the same manner, NSCB reports of Php166,841.00 as the annual per Capita over
threshold, meaning, families whose income falls below it are considered poor.

6. EXISTING LAND USE, LAND USE TREND AND SEA USE
6.1 Existing Land Use
Rosario’s agro-industrial character has given way for the municipality to become
predominantly industrial. The combined area of the industrial and commercial zones account
for about 216.40 hectares or 28.16 percent. The arrival of more investors and expansion in
the Cavite Economic Zone, together with the number of commercial and business
establishments’ build-up along Gen. Trias Drive - the town’s major thoroughfare, where
PDMC, SM City Rosario and Costa Verde Subdivision are located, greatly induced the land
uses in Rosario.
Residential area is the next biggest land use with 207.3185 hectares or 26.98%,
followed by Industrial. These are within all barangays or near the downtown area and its
peripheries, but mostly in Barangays Tejeros Convention, Ligtong III and Sapa II.

6.2 Land Use Trend

By the present methodology utilized by the Municipal Planning and Development
Office (MPDO), all the 768.3640 hectares of Rosario is classified urban. A cursory
examination of the present allocation scheme indicates the predominance of non-agricultural
uses. To trace the evolution of land changes, field reconnaissance was conducted with the
assistance of some local officials and staff. The GIS Shape Filing System was supplemented
by some survey to validate information and allow rapid documentation. The result was then
compared with the 2001 land use base map.
The most noticeable transformation in the pattern of land uses was the reduction in
agricultural area. From a total of 32 hectares, this was reduced to just 27 hectares in 1999
and eventually zeroed presently. The high growth of urbanization translated to the rapid
disappearance of agricultural lands.

Municipal records show that to date, there are about 20 residential subdivisions
ranging from three to about fifty hectares in size, (e.g. Costa Verde Subdivision, a 32 has.
prime property). Industrial development continues inside and outside of Cavite Economic
Zone. Commercial and business establishments were thriving and increases demand, such
that even settings in secondary roads are now regarded as points of interest.
The urbanization prompted the development of mixed-income residential and

commercial to cater the middle and upper income market and meet the expected level of
demands attributed to population growth and employment opportunities.
Rosario’s 768.3640 hectares is relatively small considering that this represents only
0.40% of the province’s total land area.
6.3 Existing Use of Coastal Areas

Before the onset of industrialization period, Rosario is dominantly coastal in nature.
Much has been reckoned for its costal prominence such as the fish net weaving industry,
boat manufacturing and the famed “Tinapang Salinas”, to name a few.
There is an existing beach resort in Barangay Ligtong IV and a potential amenity in

Barangay Silangan I to promote the town’s natural shoreline splendour. Smoked fish-making
industry and traditional fishing is still a major source of income for residents of the nine (9)
coastal barangays of the municipality. A municipal fish port, which caters for retail and
wholesale trading for locals and businessmen, is soundly operational and provides
employment for the people of nearby barangays.
Fishing remains a major source of income among the locals of coastal barangays.
On the other hand, the industrial area of the PNOC property extends up to the coast
of the town. The pipeline of the Oil Depot passes through the jurisdiction of Barangay Wawa
II up to the territorial waters of Rosario. Mangroves can be found in the shore of Barangay
Ligtong I and Barangay Wawa III.

7. COMPARATIVE/COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
 1st Class Income Municipality with Flat Terrain Municipality
This topographic characteristics result to easy accumulation of local water demand.

In addition, construction of any infrastructure is less complicated. The weather observed is
regular at 28ºC, NE wind at 61 KM/H, and 74 percent humidity.
 Sufficient Power Supply.
Improved circuits reliability and flexibility as well as increased capacity by Transco

and Meralco are available for full operation of industries and residents’ needs in the coming
years.
 Proximity to Metro Manila
One major development potential of Rosario is its nearness to Manila and other major
cities and municipalities. It is approximately 26 kilometers to Manila via the newly opened
Cavite Expressway or Cavitex roughly less than half an hour travel. Accessibility to vital
institutions like government offices, air and sea ports are highly stressed-free.
 Improved Roads
Wide and connected, all national and municipal roads were linked to safely transport
people and produce, to markets, schools, works and places of concern.
 Skilled Human Resources
Young population, very friendly attitude people of about 57 percent dominates the
present populace with technical know-how and adaptability, ready for employment. These
young individuals were empowered by the Local DSWD and PESO by providing them with
adequate training making them a more important and useful assets of the municipality.
 Attractive Economic Zone
Within Rosario is Cavite Economic Zone, a fully developed 227.8796 hectares of land
to accommodate industrial establishments, with well-paved roads, water and sewer lines and
access to communication facilities and sewerage treatment plant-aeration type. CEZ,
considered the biggest/registered zone in the country, employs more than 79,000
management and production workers. Aside from these, an estimated 4,500 are employed
by brokers, banks, security agencies, canteens, subscribers and other offices.

 Numerous Investment Opportunities
Other than CEZ which is home to more than 382 industrial locators, 134 hectares of
PNOC properties is currently developed to be Special Economic Zone, industrial site and
low-cost housing. PNOC Gas and Oil depot is also located here. SM Prime Holdings, Inc.
opened SM City Rosario which covers 5 hectares of leisure and entertainment to the
municipality and nearby towns. It has generated employment growth further as retail; and
service is an important component to the municipality’s base. The trends introducing inside
and “urban format” supermarkets, and various stores, services, and restaurants that cater to
the convenience and day-to-day needs of the residential population, zone workers and SM
staff employment population in the Downtown, boosted the income of town’s income and
helped increase the employment rate.
 Abundant Fishing Turf and Industry
Due to its location as one of the lowland coastal municipalities, Rosario was noted
for fishing and “Tinapang Salinas” processing. The presence of two fish ports, (i.e. Municipal
Fish Port, and Ligtong Fish Landing) creates a systematic transport and download of fish
catch.
 Extended Coastal Shore Lines
Lengthy beach and adjoining areas are in consideration for reclamation. Some of its
shorelines are being developed to be tourist spot and beach resort, e.g. Isla de Bonita de
Salinas.
 Rich in History and Culture
Rosario is renowned for its Patroness, Nuestra Senora Virgen del Rosario and the
“Karakol Dance” in her honor. Located in Barangay Tejeros Convention is the Casa
Hacienda, where the first Presidential Election (Revolutionary Government) was held and
the establishment of the First Philippine Army.
A commemorative building was erected in the historic site of Casa Hacienda.

8. WEAKNESSES: PRIORITY ISSUES AND CONCERNS
 Rapid Population Increase
Based on the 2010 Census, the municipality registered a population of 92,253.

Growing at the rate of 2.2755 percent per year, this is expected to reach 115,531 by year
2020.
 Hasty Land Use Change
There is a need to regulate the rapid change from residential to commercial use along
major roads such as Marseilla St. and Gen. Trias Drive without regulations, these areas
become overpopulated with people (formal and informal settlers), more congested with traffic
and generates more waste which increases vulnerability of the community to natural
hazards.
 Continued Progression of Informal Settlers
The increasing number of informal settlers occupying idle lands and unsafe sites near
the rivers and coasts must be immediately addressed to prevent worsening the present
situation.
 Un-even Distribution of Population
Migration influences the reshaping of population distribution. People from other

municipalities becoming aware of the conveniences Rosario and the Cavite Economic Zone
can provide tend to migrate and eventually dictate the delivery of services, the resources
and markets for businesses and the potential for further opportunities.
 Shelter/Housing Needs
The need for using is becoming more and more pronounced and strict conformance
to building codes must be enforced to prevent a collapse due to earthquake and typhoon.
 Unsanitary and Inefficient Solid Waste Disposal
The proposed Material Recovery Facility located in Barangays Kanluran and Muzon
II poses serious health and environmental hazards to the ground water, sea water and to the
residents in the community.

 Traffic Congestion
Chokepoints are the intersection and routes along the stretch of Marseilla St. in
Barangays Ligtong III, and IV; Bagbag I, and II; Silangan I; Poblacion, and along the length
of Gen. Trias drive in Barangays Poblacion and Tejeros Convention.
 Flooding
This is one major problem which maybe noted to occur but only during monsoonal
downpour beginning the 3rd quarter of the year. However, affected areas include most
coastal barangays only.
 Land Conversion Effect
Rice and diversified crops are not anymore locally grown. Agricutural produce are
being imported from other municipalities and provinces for local consumption and trade, thus
compromising food sufficiency in the locality.
Rosario - a 1st Class Urban Municipality in Cavite, has converted from agricultural to industrial.

9. FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY
As a coastal municipality, Rosario served as the residence of ancient people. It was

also known as the first developed town in history because of its industry making craft and
fisheries. Today as a first class industrialized municipality, Rosario has shifted from an agro-
industrial based economy to one which is more productive and dominant in service. Since
the creation of Cavite Economic Zone in 1983, Rosario has strived as a leading contributor
towards economic growth of the province. High employment rate bring better social well-
being to its residents. Cavite Economic Zone is an important element in the development of
the adjacent municipalities to be suitable as logistic hub and another economic zone.
Rosario covers a total area of 768.3640 Hectares. It is home to about 382 locators,
responsible for employing approximately 79,000 persons living within the locality and
adjacent municipalities. Major industries include manufacturing for automotive parts,
electronics, textiles, fixtures, etc.
Nevertheless, industry excise was aided by income from marine catch and taxes due
from commercial enterprises. Equally, there are service-based economic activities that
include areas such as education, retail, finance, and government work.
In today’s “617 Challenge” of Cavite Province, towns and cities were strategically
joined to become part of the “New Triangle: Growth Corridors”, a defined development
direction by the Provincial Government. Rosario surely leads the province to
industrialization. Together with Bacoor, Kawit, Noveleta, Tanza and Cavite City , all of which
are near the coast with good economic and tourism potential and rich history, they are called
“Cavite El Viejo – La Llave de Manila” (Old Cavite – Gateway to Manila).
Cavite Economic Zone (CEZ) comprises 275 hectares of land encompassing the towns of Rosario
and General Trias, creating employment opportunities to Caviteños.

CHAPTER II. THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
This comprehensive land use plan is an endeavour to shape the future physical
development through the adoption of goals, objectives and strategies herein stated. This
proposed land use plan is to guide the Municipality of Rosario in its spatial directions over
the next ten years and overall growth towards attaining its visions of a historic, progressive,
center of investment and employment opportunities, able to direct environmental-friendly
land use for the achievement of sustained economic growth and protect its people from the
ills of urbanization.
The CLUP is a document embodying specific proposals for guiding, regulating growth
and development of Rosario. It is comprehensive because it considers all sectors significant
in the development process, (i.e. demography, socio-economic, infrastructure and utilities,
land use and land administration), within its territorial jurisdiction.

3. THE CONCEPT / STRUCTURE PLAN

Critical in future development of the municipality, this concept /structure plan provides
the Quality of Place framework in which Rosario, will further work together as a leading
marine-produced source, industrially prosperous, socially diverse and uniquely “green” 21st
century community.
Hence, the Planning Team opted to pursue the following development thrusts:
a. Industrialization
Development:
Industrial development in Rosario has grown steadily as evidenced by the

emergence of additional firms especially in the Cavite Economic Zone. Since the
approval of R. A. No. 7916 or otherwise known as “The Special Economic Zone Act of
1995”, creating the Philippine Economic Zone Authority, CEZ has surfaced from a mini-
industrial zone, to be the largest economic zone in the country. It is home to 376
registered locators and is just 30-minutes drive away from Manila, having close proximity
to commercial sea and air ports. Other than the economic zone are two industrial
establishments. They are FILOIL/PNOC and General Chemicals and Resin Consortium
Inc., located at Barangay Tejeros Convention.
Concept Plan:
There is a plan to expand the existing industrial zone. The local government shall
reclaim the area owned by FILOIL Development Authority located at the east side of
Barangay Tejeros Convention, near the border of the Municipality of Noveleta in the East
and the Municipality of Gen. Trias in the South, as per Proclamation No. 971 by the
former President Fidel V. Ramos, approved on February 13th, 1997. However, part of this
land is still under dispute with Gen. Trias. Also, some residential land (classified as
agriculture) adjacent to the industrial zone shall also be re-classified as industrial, for
future uses.
Structure Plan
Rosario has to ensure that support services, facilities and utilities required such
as power, water, roads, telecommunication and efficient solid waste disposals.
b. Commercial
Development:
A sound trading condition is the barometer of a progressive municipality.

Several years ago, commerce and trade transactions are concentrated in the Poblacion
area. It is the central business district of the town consisting of various retail and

wholesale stores, business entities and, other services. The Municipal Fish Port caters
for fish dealers and vendors. By mid-‘90s, commercial operations were extended up to
Barangay Tejeros Convention. This was due to the booming of the Cavite Economic
Zone. At present, business enterprises growth has become more prevalent in the latter.
A second market place was constructed, but is not fully operational yet. The latest
contribution to the previous planning period (2000 ~ 2010) is the SM City. Considering
this development, it can be defined that the central business district has shifted from
Barangay Poblacion to Barangay Tejeros Convention.
The present commercial area of Rosario extends from Marseilla St. in Barangay
Ligtong (II and III) stretching to Gen. Trias Drive in Barangay Tejeros Convention. The
said streets are part of the national road. A portion covering C. Abueg St. was also
classified as commercial area. It is however, restricted in the Poblacion area. The stretch
of C. Abueg St. is a potential area for commercialization because it serves as a
thoroughfare for the high-density populated barangays afar from the CBD. From
Poblacion, the commercial area shall be lengthily extended up to Barangay Sapa IV.
Concept Plan:
The Municipality of Rosario has a vision to lead the province to be the center of
industry, commerce, trade and fishery. The Local Chief Executive and the Municipal
Council are working hand-in-hand in turning this dream into a near reality. Sites for the
expansion of commerce and trade have been identified in the adjacent barangays of the
CBD, Barangays Sapa-I and Sapa-IV. Access to this area is convenient because it is
situated along C. Abueg Street connecting to the national road. This covers a span of 3.5
kilometers in length or an additional 2.5 hectares of commercial land area but then
decreasing usage of residential lots. There are sufficient means of transportation
available in the area to accommodate residents from barangays who are far from the
central business district.
Structure Plan:
Rosario, a first class municipality with high level of urban functions and services
should opt to intensify commercialization or leading center of growth. It should further
strengthen the commercial base. As development proceeds in other growth areas,
supporting commercial and retail requirements, foods and beverages needs would be
anticipated. It needs to ensure the presence of facilities, utilities measures and incentives
to encourage investors to further diversify and increase investment. It is required to
mitigate measures, identified with the impact of intensified commercial activities such as
increased volume of solid and liquid wastes, parking area requirements, traffic
management, housing, business/personal services, health facilities, etc.

c. Tourism
Development:
Rosario is rich in history and culture. Renowned for its Patroness, Nuestra
Senora Virgen del Rosario and the “Karakol Dance”, in Her honor. In Barangay Tejeros
Convention, the Casa Hacienda can be found. It is the former Recollect house where the
first Presidential Election (Revolutionary Government) in all of Asia was held and the
birthplace of the Philippine Army.
Concept Plan:
One of today’s acknowledged fastest growing industries, Tourism is a potential

industry to create jobs. Visiting relatives and friends craves for shopping, sightseeing and
dining out. Benefitting areas will be the La Isla de Bonita, a public beach under the
management of the local government of Rosario, and the current summer attraction. The
beach shows potential for skim boarding and swimming, beach goers can also enjoy the
zipline ride, which needs to be improved and promoted
Another important place is the parish Church of Nuestra Senora Virgen de

Caracol which is among the few of the most impressive baroque-style churches in the
country and has been considered a national treasure but its exemplary beauty and
historic significance is not known amongst Rosarians and the Cavitenos.
Structure Plan:
Tourism is considered an economic activity. Therefore, there is a need to develop

a heritage and conservation plan so that Rosarians can be aware of places of historical-
cultural heritage and connections with the past. Trained local tour guides will serve local
and foreign tourists and create commemorative signage. Side streets walkway for
pedestrians use should be provided. Parking spaces must be created and market stalls
relocated for night market activity. More importantly, upgrading tourism accommodations,
promotions and facilities compatible with existing development is required to meet the
demand over a longer period of time.
d. Coastal Areas
Development:
Rosario is potentially a natural attraction with long coastline and beaches and
with potential for water-based sports and recreation such as scuba diving, beach
volleyball, fishing, etc. The presence of extensive coastal and sizeable bodies of inland
water serve as a basis for a valid inclusion in the development options. It comprises
approximately 104.9482 hectares with over 5,613 households within. Commercial and

Industrial uses, including the Municipal Fish Port cover the balance of coastal area lands.
Overtime, it has served to accommodate commercial fishing and related transportation
uses.
Concept Plan:
The municipality must at the outset, conduct an inventory of its coastal resources
and ascertain existing risks and potential impacts to the locality. Current conditions within
the coastal zone suggest a number of opportunities to affect positive change, i.e.
decongestion and environmental issues. Rosario is considered a potential site to transit
people and fish catch between and around boundaries.
Structure Plan:
The municipality needs to adopt measures to protect and conserve its coastal
areas to ensure tourism will not cause degradation to the environment, or affect the social
and local tradition of the community. Rosario’s municipal coastline stretches 3,442.4520
meters. Its width however can be expanded to be used for walking and jogging and
include signages, landscaping, benches and picnic shelters.
3.1 Proposed Land Use
 Residential
There is an increase of 151.0215 hectares of land area to residential coming from

non-build-up areas of the entire municipality. The population is projected to be 115,488
persons for the next ten years. This additional requirement will be sufficient to meet the
housing deficiency. The proposed expansion will include Sapa II, III; Wawa III; Tejeros
Convention; and Ligtong I, II, III. Medium-rise residential or 4-storey buildings shall be
allowed within the barangays of Poblacion and Tejeros Convention to accommodate higher
population space densities and promote efficient urban space use. There is a need to fully
develop some of the socialized housing areas and open areas intended for low cost housing.
Other contributors would be titled lots under water at the moment.
Underwater lots along the coastal barangays of Muzon I, Muzon II, Kanluran, Sapa
II, Sapa III, Wawa I and Wawa II shall be reclaimed for residential purposes. Being
underwater it is currently considered as non-build up. This reclaimed area would suit the
housing needs of the municipality.

To ensure the safety and security of the residents in the coastal barangays, the Local
Shelter Plan is on-progress. It details the need for those living in danger areas, squatters,
homeless and the housing needs due to population growth.
 Commercial
The Municipality of Rosario is anticipated to further increase its residential, industrial

and commercial activities. The PNOC Development and Management Corporation (PDMC),
with the aid the Rosario Local Government Unit, has begun developing 134 Hectares of the
Philippine National Oil Corporation property into a special economic zone that will have an
industrial estate low cost housing, and a port to facilitate transport of products and services
to and from the eco-zone, SM City Rosario, a mall operated by SM Prime Holdings, Inc.
boosted the Municipality’s economy as well as helped in its employment rate.
However, they should be restricted to remain at present sites and minimum

provisions for expansion, except for providing adequate parking space to give leeway to
traffic flow and pedestrians.
To contain the traffic situation, commercial establishments shall be mandated to

strictly follow the Zoning Ordinance and restrictions such as providing easement for parking
spaces for clients and deliveries.
 Institutional
These areas include the existing Institutional areas. There shall be an expansion of
the institutional area in all Barangay. Considering the growth of the population, schools and
public offices will be needed drastically.
 Parks and Playgrounds
There is the decrease for the demand for parks and playground. The tennis court in
the Poblacion area will be transformed into a multi-purpose government building. However,
this decrease will not greatly affect the use for its purpose. Being multi-purpose in nature,
said government building has sports functionality in the second floor.
 Tourism
With its rich historical value, the Casa Hacienda in Barangay Tejeros Convention
remains as the main Tourist attraction in Rosario. Next, is the hospitable accommodation of
the Mount Sea Hotel and Restaurant which caters to tourists and expatriates visiting the
Cavite Economic Zone. These land areas are existing, thus the supply is sufficient to the
demand. There is an existing beach resort in Rosario – the San Isidro Beach Resort. It is
located in Barangay Ligtong I. But then again, it became less functional maybe to some

rehabilitation and promotional constraints. It is now reclassified as a tourist destination

together with the proposed “Isla Bonita de Salinas” – a public beach resort to be operated
by the Municipality of Rosario.
The local government initiated the development of this beach for it to be fully
functional. Land demand is sufficient because it is located at the coast of Barangay Silangan
I. The Isla Bonita de Salinas is a very promising location for tourist attraction. It can also be
converted into an eco-tourism park having close proximity to the protected marine area.
To ensure the health and safety of tourist and local residents against e.coli and other
forms of bacteria found in the Cavite waters, the sanitary team from the Rural Health Unit
and the MENRO shall regularly check the microbial levels of Rosario’s seawater and a
general indication of its sanitary conditions for the issuance of a beach advisory or possible
closure. Beach administrators shall be advised to distribute printable brochures in their
stations to keep tourists and residents aware of water-related illness due to possible e.coli
contamination.
The LGU is obliged to follow the 2008 Supreme Court mandamus on Manila Bay. It
shall be cleaned-up and kept as a wholesome environment. Its bay shall be rehabilitated and
its waters restored to class “B” level.
 Industrial
Two sectors shall comprise the reclamation of land areas; they are industrial and
residential. There is an available land area for industrial use situated in the east side of
Barangay Tejeros Convention adjacent to the industrial zone (CEZ). But this area is still
under dispute with the neighbouring municipality in the south. Nevertheless, this area is
suited for industrial utilization. Another area for industrial use is the idle land of the PNOC-
Filoil Properties and other residential lots classified as agriculture.
 Cemetery
The donated property of Petrochem in Barangay Tejeros Convention is proposed to

be a future site for a public memorial park. It is a 2,000 sqm. parcel of land beside the
Heaven’s Garden Memorial Park to cater all, including Muslim residents of Rosario. Part of
the existing Heaven’s Garden Memorial Park in Barangay Tejeros Convention shall be fully
developed and utilized. And since the public cemetery is already congested, a new public
cemetery away from the central business district is appropriate.

 Roads
Access Road shall be provided to decongest traffic at major intersection along

Gen.Trias Drive in Tejeros Convention and Marseilla St. in Poblacion.
The municipality is considering road widening or reconstruction to make it a

continuous road of sufficient width and strength to care adequately for future traffic needs. It
also considers the construction of a bridge that will connect Barangay Wawa to Barangay
Julugan in Tanza, Cavite to allow residents and vehicles to ply easily and ease traffic flow in
the main roads leading to the central business district and industrial zone.
Meanwhile, road development and canal reconstruction must be in accordance with

the standard measurement provided by the District Engineer’s Office.
 Infrastructure and Utilities
Though a Water System exists, the local government still has plans to install artesian
wells to the municipality. Said water system is not yet fully available to all the residents of
Rosario. And these artesian wells will serve as back-up source of water supply, especially to
those dwelling in the innermost parts of the community where pipelines cannot reach.
Installation of artesian well is less costly and can be readily available in one-week
time. These wells shall only serve for cleaning, washing and bathing purposes since
Maynilad and Rosario Water System is not available in the entire locality. Water distilling
Stations provide the potable water requirement of the populace. In ten years time, it is highly
anticipated that the Rosario Water System will be made available to the entire municipality.
Likewise, electrical facilities shall be upgraded. There will be a great demand for
additional posts for electrical purposes to support the zero-backlog target of the local
government.
 Material Recovery Facility
Pursuant to the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, the local
government of Rosario has established a Material Recovery Facility. It shall be located in
the reclaimed land in Barangay Kanluran near the coast.
This 0.1228 hectares facility shall suffice the need for solid waste management in the
whole municipality. It shall serve as the area for segregation of the municipality’s wastes
which later will be hauled by the authorized contractor for dumping at the sanitary landfill
located at Trece Martirez City, Cavite.
To prevent water contamination, the MRF must be equipped with modern

technologies and utilize approved mechanical and biological treatments in dealing with
wastes. And as a declared policy of DENR (A.O. 49, s. 1998), the municipality is awaiting

the technical guidance to adapt an environmentally-sound, technically-feasible and

economically-sustainable ten-year solid waste management plan.

3.2 Proposed Sea Use
The technical description of Rosario’s municipal waters was defined by the National
Mapping and Resource Information Authority (NAMRIA) on the 15th of January 2010. This
was confirmed by three Municipal Mayors namely: Atty. Jose M. Ricafrente, Jr (Rosario),
Hon. Marcus Ashley C. Arayata (Tanza) and Hon Enrico M. Alvarez (Noveleta). It stretches
15 kms. long and 4.5 kms wide from the shorelines of Barangay Wawa II until Barangay
Ligtong I covering an area of 6,764.03 hectares, bounded by the territorial waters of Tanza,
Cavite in the West and Noveleta, Cavite in the North-East.
According to plan, the municipal water shall be divided into four zones – Municipal
Fishing Zone, Marine Protection Zone, Traditional Fishing Zone and Buffer Zones. The most
vital of these is the Marine Protection Zone where artificial coral reef buds were planted. Two
Buffer Zones from both sides of this zone is established to prevent intrusion from fishermen
and passing tourists. The local government has initiated this advocacy for the propagation
of bio-marine diversities. It was a huge success that the methodology utilized was even
passed on to other province as far as Surigao in Mindanao.
To protect this sanctuary, the MENRO shall request the Sangguniang Bayan for an
ordinance or resolution, whichever is applicable, designating the water zone as Marine
Protected Area. To fully sustain its conservation and purpose, an Integrated Coastal
Management Plan shall be drafted and later implemented by the same agency.
There is also a plan to reclaim underwater lots for socialized housing and commercial
purposes. There will be a great demand for the expansion and rehabilitation of the Municipal
Fist Port more a more vigorous commercial activity in the coastal zone.
Rosario is in continuous adherence to the Supreme Court’s mandamus to clean the

Manila Bay. A regular clean-up drive is undertaken to the shoreline and waters of the town.
A potential tourist destination in Rosario’s coastline is being developed by the local
government – the La Isla Bonita de Salinas, a public beach owned and operated by the
municipality of Rosario. The beach offers various amenities to the people and neighbouring
towns and cities as far as Quezon City in the NCR. A new zipline traversing above the water
is connected from the beach to the adjacent Mount Sea Resort, Hotel and Restaurant and
vice-versa.
