FOREWORD
Planning is very much essential to foresee what a local government unit perceives to
achieve. It anticipates problems and set immediate solutions to what these problems may
give. It collaborates budgeting of funds, formulating resolutions, setting procurements,
tabling constructions, designation of personnel and other functions involving the totality of
an entity. In addition, Planning should be consultative, inclusive and participatory.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan stands as a pillar of ideas that scribes data, plans
and solutions to different developing sectors: Social, Economic, Environmental,
Infrastructure and Institutional. The CLUP presents the quality of the people as individual
and as a country, states the local economy, states the natural and environmental
situations and manifests the capacity of the local government and its leadership.
As required by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB), the CLUP shall
cover 10 years of plans of the local government for the five developing sectors stated in
the preceding paragraph. This also presents different usable and updated maps of the
locality with different reference functions. These maps are necessary in plotting plans,
determining of locations, land uses and the like, setting current situations of such location,
and serves as simple reference to other relevant purposes.
On the other hand, the CLUP serves as basis of other plans of the LGU, which includes
but not limited to the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP), the Local Development
Investment Plan (LDIP), and the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA), the Gender and
Development Report (GAD) and others. This also encloses basic facts and data
regarding the locality being presented.
Generally, the focal person for the preparation of the CLUP is the Local Planning and
Development Officer/Coordinator with the help of concerned offices and its manpower.
This CLUP shall serve as reference material to local officials, employees, planners,
students and researchers.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Comprehensive Land Use & Development Plan, which wascrafted in order to
develop and adopt a land use plan, sets the course on the changes of the Municipality’s
zoning and development regulations. The goals and policy recommendations in this plan
are based on the understanding that both public and private actions shall shape and
develop the places defining our existence every day – the places we live, work, and play.
It establishes a vision for future public-private-partnership projects and investment on
buildings and infrastructure. Moreover, it encompasses the power to regulate the way a
municipality adopts to its developmental needs – from the macro level of major corridors
and interactions with surrounding municipalities to the micro level of neighborhoods,
streetscapes, and individual blocks.
The specific goals and policy recommendations in this plan are organized according to
five overarching goals based on five subject areas:
Environment
Promote environmentally sustainable land use patterns, transportation options,
site plans, and construction practices.
Regulatory Process
Ensure that development processes and decisions are efficient, consistent, and
transparent.
Generally, the need to integrate greenery into living environment by the improvement of
existing parks and establishing additional recreational areas and recreation, and to
protect the existing agricultural zone shall be identified in order to sustain a high quality of
living. Further, the need to ensure good living condition and to sustain a vibrant economy
with stable decent jobs shall also be determined.
The policy objectives and strategies included in this document will be a guide to the
Municipality’s transition to a form-based zoning code that ensures high quality
development in all areas. To this end, the plan and land use map of ’character areas’ will
describe the desiredplan. These form-based standards may be supplemented with more
specific designs, guidelines or overlay regulations in areas where these are desired.
This plan marks a shift in the way the Municipality adopts to development regulations of
reducing or eliminating parking minimums in some areas, emphasizing the pedestrian
experience in the way that designs and site plans are being related to streets and
thoroughfares, and embracing urban qualities of the neighboring LGUs including density,
historic architecture, and mixed-use on land uses. Furthermore, in order to achieve these
desired effects, this plan must be followed by the Municipality over 15-year-old zoning
code.
building forms, prescribed use (or mix of uses), and physical scale preferred in various
locations of the Municipality.
In addition, addressing the form-based standards across the municipality for the first time
will ensure that all new development prioritizes the pedestrian experience, encourages
walking and public transit use, and contributes to enjoyable public places throughout the
locality.

A. VISION
In addition, being an Artist’s Paradise, we still inject the primary goal of a Local
Government Unit—to provide efficient, effective and economical governance to which
the general welfare of the constituents is being upheld.
B. MISSION
Shall the Local Government set parallelism between its Vision and the present
situation of the locality, obtaining the basic applications from the Vision statement is
needed. Further, applications may be grouped according to the sector it is
incorporated weighed against the current reality. With this, based on the facts
presented in the matrix, the Comprehensive Development Plan is formulated.

D. STRUCTURAL PLAN
1. The whole stretch of M.L. Quezon Avenue and Manila East Road passing thru
Angono shall be considered as Commercial Area.
2. Flood prone with high susceptibility areas located atthe Lakeshore(Barangay
Kalayaan, San Vicente, Poblacion Ibaba and Bagumbayan) will be classified as
Park and Other Recreational Areas.
3. Road connecting Barangay San Isidro and Barangay Mahabang Parang along
Botong Francisco Avenue.
4. Road Network connecting Bgy. San Isidro, Mahabang Parang and Bgy. San
Roque.
5. Road Network as an alternative access from Taytay to Binangonan located
near Laguna Lake shoreline.
6. Major Commercial area on both sides of M.L. Quezon Avenue at Bgy.
Mahabang Parang
7. Public Market in Bgy. Poblacion Ibaba
8. Light Industrial Area along Taytay-Angono Coastal Road, Bgy. Kalayaan.
9. “Angonopolis” ensure high quality, attractive aesthetic architectural design
throughout the municipality in both residential neighborhood and commercial
areas.
10. Establishing new government center at Brgy. Poblacion Ibaba
11. Road network along Angono River, and establishing new tourist destination
such as spring called “Banyo ng Pari”.
In the instance that the aforementioned plan is not fully accomplished within the
planning period, the unfinished projects will be included in the next planning period
for its completion.
1. Built-up Areas
Built-up area includes residential, commercial and industril areas in the existing land use
of municipality. It appears that when one compares the land uses in Angono in 1995
and2016, there is significant change in the percentage distribution of built-up areas and
agricultural/grazing/forest lands, during the 16-year period (see Table 1& Map 1). This
goes against the trend of land uses in towns near Metro Manila which is characterized by
increases in built-up areas over the years. There is a difference of 244.42 hectares
because of the new working map of the Municipal Assessor's Office andthe 2016 area
was derived from Geographic Information Systemwhich was used as the base map in the
present plan.The built-up area was increasedby29.68% hectares and the agriculture and
grassland areas was decreasedby29.71%. At present, the land area in Angono that has
been used for other uses aside from Agricultural is increasing due to the continuous
development of residential subdivisions and commercial spaces.
In 2007, Mining in Barangay San Roque occupied a small portion of the land, but in 2016, it has
increased profoundly four times of its previous area of operation and even extended to adjacent
barangay of San Isidro. This may be the result of continuous expansion of its digging as per
permit/approval with conditions issued by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources. However, as an advocate of environmental protection and preservation, the LGU-
Angono is continuously seeking ways of controlling and monitoring the mining operation in the
Municipality. In Addition, the Residential area located in Barangay Kalayaan along the Angono-
Taytay coastal road has been converted in to Light Industrial as per Existing Land Use of 2016.
Considering the merit of harmony among adjacent Municipalities, Angono adapted to the
Industrial zone of Taytay, within the boundaries.
The area is based on 2016 aerial photographs using Google Earth and by the use of
Amellar Geographic Information System and Quantuam Geographic Information System,
the built-up portion occupies 939.3312 hectares or 77.05% of the total municipal area
(Table 1). The agricultural and grassland areas cover 279.7179 hectares or 22.95% of
the town area. These are found mostly in the middle section of the town, which have
steep slopes of over 18 percent and in the northeast corner which have elevations of over
200 meters, and on the western lakeshore area. A very large gravel and sand quarry
area covers 176.0122 hectares or 14.44% of the town area's extent. This is located in the
steep middle portion of the municipality surrounded by grasslands (see Map 1 & 2 of
Chapter VI,Volume III).
The municipality have built up areas exposed to flood hazard within high susceptibility
areas is 65.82 hectares or 5.4% of the total land area. In the event of flooding, half of the
commercial areas and almost 0.25% of the total agricultural areas are prone to this
hazard. While built up areas exposed to landslide hazard within high susceptibility area is
5.68 hectares or 0.47% of the total land area. It is therefore incumbent that government’s
effort, time and resources in mitigating measures and climate change adaptation be
concentrated on these area as the effects of landslide and flooding are evident and
predictable.
Potential land area for expansion refers to the rational and judicious approach of
allocating available land resources to different land using activities and for different
functions consistent with the overall development vision/goal of Angono.
The Proposed Urban Land Use Plan covers 1,219.56 hectares (Map 7)and is greatly
based on the Municipal-wide Actual Use (Map 5). In 2001, Angono prepared the
Approved Urban Land Use Map (Map 6) which was digitized on 2007. Considering the
10-year-based updating of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, this Agency, through
the Office of the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, conducted an
actual survey and inspection of the whole Municipal coverage to determine the actual
use and be compared with the previously approved map. Further, the adaption of the
areas, its slope, flood and landslide susceptibility, and resilience are significantly
considered for the updating of the CLUP. Furthermore, the said Office also gathered
data from the different concerned offices such as Office of the Municipal Assessor,
Business Permit and Licensing Office, Urban Settlement Development Office, Office
of the Municipal Engineer, Mucipal Disaster Risk Reduction & Management Office,
NAMRIA, MGB, HLURB, Manila Water, Meralco and other concerned offices and
agencies to further finalize by the Technical Working Group the proposed use of the
parcels.
Among the provinces of the country, Rizal is considered to be one of the most
competitive provinces as far as economic stability, disaster preparedness and
resiliency, social responsiveness, infrastructure, environmental advocacy, and public
service are concerned. The 13 Municipalities and one Component City of the Province
were joined hand-in-hand in reaching such commendation.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2016-2026 of Angono is clinched to what the
Provincial Government of Rizal dreams of. Each Plan drafted by this agency, through
the Office of the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, were designed to
fit what the present situation of the country demands.
a. In the Proposed Urban Land Use Map of 2016 (Map 7), most of the locations as
Residential Zone are being utilized as General Institutional in Barangay San Roque as
Vincentian Hills Seminary and as Artists’ Village, and in Barangay San Isidro as
Angono Municipal Cemetery, as Parks and Recreation in Barangay San Isidro as
Firing Range, and as Holy Gardens Memorial Park, and in Barangay San Vicente as
Lakeside Park, as Medium Industrial in Barangay San Isidro as Triple A Yab Design
as Light Industrial in Barangay San Isidro and Kalayaan as Meralco, as Agricultural in
Barangay San Isidro having vast coverage of trees and vegetation, as Mining in
Barangay San Isidro as reserved area of Concrete Aggregates Corporation, and
Commercial Zone in Barangay San Isidro as SM Center Angono, in Barangay
Mahabang Parang as Robinsons and LandmarkTo provide economic opportunities,
Angono plans of welcoming more investors to commit their businesses specifically in
Barangay Mahabang Parang where ample locations may be developed. This may
reduce the accumulations of establishments in Antipolo, thus, further promote the
business capability of the Angono’s upland area. This will serve as an additional
business hub of Rizal. These are being compared to the Approved Land Use Map of
2007(see Map6);
b. In 2007 Approved Urban Land Use Map, the Minor Commercial area in Barangay
Mahabang Parang is classified as Agricultural as per 2016 Actual Use due to the
land’s declaration as CLOA Areas to equate the usage of Angono’s land for mining.
Angono has designated and declared vast portion of the Municipality as environment-
protected areas, such as agricultural zones, parks and recreational areas, forests and
the like, where trees are to be planted and its vegetation be preserved. To enumerate
some—the almost-half area/portion of the upland Barangay Mahabang Parang; the
Angono Forest Park, the Angono Firing Range, and some portion of the Concrete
Aggregates Corporation property in Barangay San Isidro; the Angono Lakeside Park
in Barangay San Vicente; and the Angono Eco-park in Barangay Kalayaan, are the
focus areas on the LGU’s environmental projects and monitoring. This supports the
promotion of the Provincial Government’s environmental project of cleaning and
greening the province.;
d. The Light Industrial in Barangay San Roque is classified as Parks and Recreation
as per 2016 Actual Use due to the area is being utilized as part of the Eastridge Golf
Course;
e. The coverage of the Light Industrial area in Barangay Kalayaan was reduced due
to its actual covered area for its purpose.Light and Industrial areas are also located
along Taytay-Angono coastal road supplementing the Park and Recreation areas to
be established on the town’s peripheries near Laguna Lake for economic and
environmental purposes.
f. The High Density Residential (R-3) in some areas in Barangay San Isidro and San
Roque are considered as Medium Density Residential (R-2) in the 2016 Proposed
Use due to the sloping characteristic of the area. Further, the R-3 in the shoreline of
Barangay Kalayaan and San Vicente are considered R-2 in the 2016 Proposed Use
due to its susceptibility to floods and inundation.
To promote Tourism, Angono boosts programs on tourism, the arts, culture and
heritage. Considering the two National Artists from Angono, Francisco and San
Pedro, the LGU designated different tourist destinations that were accredited by the
Department of Tourism and being advertised globally. This may be visited by local
and foreign tourists and be fascinated by Angono’s evident beauty and rich culture.
Angono, as the Art Capital of the Philippines, will be Rizal’s Tourist Point on the Arts
and Culture.
Land supply is the land area available within a municipality for urban expansion. In the
situation of Municipality of Angono, after deducting the areas considered for
conservation (parcels obatined through Certificate of Land Ownership Award or
CLOA) (70.03 hectares) and water realted hazards (65.83 hectares), as well as the
built-up areas (939.33 hectares) from its total land area (1,219.57), the land supply for
urban expansion is determined at 276.03 hectares (see Table 4). This is 22.63% from
the total town land area.
6. PLANNING CONSIDERATION
CLUP is a tool of the Local Government Unit in setting and planning different projects
intended for the welfare of the constituents. Such plan embraces different sectors—
i.e. Social, Economic, Infrastructure, Environment and Institutional, that serve as
indicators to determine the timeliness and significance of each proposed project for
the public. CLUPs of the different localities shall be updated every ten years.
In the preparation of the land use plan of Angono, the planning team and the
Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator took into consideration certain
needs that bear on the physical, social, economic and political stability of the
community. These needs will be discuss below.
Generally to sustain a high quality living environment the following needs have been
identified:
For 2008, the municipality has a total of 122.5 metric tons of rice production with only
0.55% sufficiency level. Presently, tha municipality of Angono has no share in terms
of agricultural output among other municipalities in the province of Rizal. This is due
to incessant urban development and the conversion of agricultural land into non-
agricultural use. While there is necessity with land conversion in accordance within
the limits provided by the law and an actual justifiable need, control must be
implemented to protect whatever remains of the town’s prime non-negotiable
agricultural lands.
Not only are there existing limitations or inadequacies in certain areas of some of the
sub-sectors mentioned above; there are also dynamic, restriction factors that require
constant improvements and enhancements in the delivery of these basic services,
including population growth and movement, urbanization, economic growth, increase
in household incomes and environmental effects on climate change. The following are
some examples:
complementary flood contol structures such as dikes along Angono River, in the
light of previous floods which submerged most parts of the western part of
Angono.
In education, there is a noted lack of school facilities such as library, clinic
and school playground in both public elementary school playground, given the
governments limited resources, how to strike a balance between access and
quality is concern that the municipality has to contend with.
In housing, backlog covers the literally homeless households, the doubles-
up households and the displaced households who are composed of those that
need to be relocated because they live in danger zone or area prone to hazard.
Angono’s economy experienced rapid growth over the last six years which is perhaps
unequalled in its history. Municipality not only reasserted its leadership as the
NATIONAL COMPETIVENESS COUNCIL OF THE PHILIPPINES AND
DEPARTMENT OF TRADE AND INDUSTRY, but likewise primed itself for assuming
additional economic responsibilities as services and financial center.
The Municipality’s economy has built the needed momentum for private sector-led
growth that would boost it towards its objective. The entry of new banks, the advent of
commercial centers and the coming of Manila-based food giants---all these point
towards increased purchasing power and spending among consumers; renewed
confidence in the private sector; and the economic vitality and greater things in store
for Angono especially when its new business district rises.
But this growth momentum needs to be sustained. For one, the previous chapter has
identified as a threat political uncertainties rooted in what is generally perceived to be
a “short” three-year term of elective local officials. There is, therefore, a definite need
for institutional mechanism that would allow for long-term stability, including greater
people’s participation in local governance and the development process.
Development plans such as this document, which enunciates and operationalizes the
Angono vision for a greater Angono, also contribute to some extent toward such
stabilization.
Another area whose growth can help sustain that momentum is the industrial sub
sector, particularly manufacturing and processing, which---although not as weak as
agriculture--- has yet to reach its true potential. But this subsector has the capability
for more substantial value-added in an economy. As pointed out, there are existing
opportunities which, if taken advantage of, can jumpstart its development. These
includes the revised comprehensive development plan which look up to Angono as an
important, if not the main, anchor, where light industries can be convinced to locate is
likewise another fine opportunity.
Finally, there is also the potential offered by tourism under the MEDIUM-TERM ART
TOURISM DEVELOPMENT PLAN which prepare thru the assistance of ILO and
CIDA which seeks to accelerate the development of the tourism industry in Angono.
Where applicable, standards form various sources have been used in allocating future
urbanizable lands in Angono, the standard employed for commercial, institutional and
infrastructure land uses have been taken from the study made on the Laguna Lake
basin in 1978 by the Laguna Lake Development Authority (LLDA). For medium
industrialization, the norm used is that contained in the manual on industrial
standards prepared by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). For
residential use, the high-density housing of 600 persons per hectare is used. This is
based on a socialized housing density of 100 housing units per hectare which is
equivalent to a hundred 100-square meter house lots per hectare as provided for in
the implementing guidelines of the Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA)
(R.A. No. 7279). With 100 lots per hectare and at an average of 6 persons per
lot/housing unit, a hectare would accommodate 600 people. For parks and open
space, a commonly used standard of 5 percent of total residential area is employed.
The standards used, therefore, are:
Table 4 shows the urban land needs of Angono at 5-year intervals based on the
population growth rate of 1.78 percent. Industrial, infrastructure and residential
activities account for the most significant demands on Angono's land. The
incremental demand for urban land in the town from 1990 to 2025 is 572.60 hectares.
All in all, Angono will be needing almost 385 hectares for urban uses in 25 years by
the year 2025. Considering its area of only 1467 hectares, the municipality would be
hard put finding spaces for its urban activities, not to mention its need for non-urban
land uses. Congestion will be a prime problem by then and zoning ordinances would
have to be scrupulously implemented if problems will have to be avoided.
Absorptive capacity refers to the capability of the town area to absorb the project
spatial urban requirements of the municipality. The suitable areas for urban
expansion were derived by evaluating the factors of slope, elevation, soil and geologic
constraints - all in relation to the existing land uses. Using an overlay mapping
procedure, otherwise called the convergence approach or the eco-engineering
analysis, and doing this on the computer using the Geographic Information System
(GIS) software, the most suitable lands for urban and other uses were delineated.
As shown in the general land use plan, 716.91 hectares or 47.1 percent of the total
municipal area are already under urban uses. For 1995, for instance, Table 4 shows
that for a projected population of 60,552, the town would require 396.62
hectares for urban uses, most of these being industrial, infrastructure and residential
uses. Actually, there is a current excess of 332.20 hectares of urbanizable land
scattered all over the town as shown in the general land use plan. This land can still
absorb the projected population of 79,684 and area of 521.93 hectares by the year
2000. After this, space for urban expansion could become very scarce and the
existing ricelands and even the steep orchard areas may be converted -- at the
expense of the town's ecological integrity.
Described below are laws and policies related to land use planning that have been
observed in formulating the urban and general land use plans as well as the overall
comprehensive plan for Angono.
a. The Local Government Code (LGC) or R.A. No. 7160 of 1991 which mandates
local governments to formulate a "comprehensive land use plan" and provides for
a reclassification mechanism of agricultural or CARP lands to other uses after five
years from the enactment of the code, with economic non-viability being
considered the strongest rationale for land conversion.
b. Executive Order No. 72 of June 1993 which provides for the preparation of
comprehensive land use plans of local government units pursuant to R.A. 7160 as
well as the mechanism procedure for the review and approval of the plans, citing
the administrative levels and government agencies involved.
c. The Urban and Housing Development Act (UDHA) or R.A. No. 279 of 1992 which
provides for the proper planning and treatment of squatter and slum communities
(including a moratorium on eviction/relocation) as well as the apportionment of 20
percent of a subdivision's area for socialized housing.
e. The Comprehensive Agrarian Land Reform Law (CARL) or R.A. No. 6657 of 1987
which protects existing agricultural lands from further diminution and
environmental degradation as well as provides for the conversion of CARP lands
after a lapse of five years from their award and land use ceases to be
economically viable for agriculture in a situation of rapid urbanization and
industrialization.
f. The revised Forestry Code or P.D. No. 705 of 1975 which provides for the first
broad land use classificatory policy stipulating that lands below 18 percent in
slope should be classified as alienable and disposable; lands between 18 to 50
percent should be used for production forest and grazing; and lands above 50
percent should be reserved for protection forest.
The physical strategy that appears to be appropriate for Angono is the bi-polar pattern
of development particularly as dictated by the trend of urban development and the
topography of the municipality. The western portion of the town close to Laguna Lake
is the more developed and urbanized part while the eastern portion is less developed
and with many areas still vacant although already preempted especially by residential
uses. In terms of topography, the western portion has gradual slopes below 18
percent while the eastern part is generally more sloping and elevated.
These sectoral and physical controls suggest a bi-polar physical strategy that
involves, on one hand, containment and slow down of urban activities in the
congested and environmentally stressed western portion. On the other hand, urban
expansion will be encouraged but on a very regulated basis in the eastern portion,
considering the limited relatively flat areas and the ecologically fragile nature of
sloping and denuded areas. The mix of land uses in the eastern half will depart from
the predominantly commercial, industrial and residential uses in the west and will now
include more protected forest areas and production orchard lands along with
residential and industrial activities.
East-west movement between the western and eastern portions will be effected by
lateral roads such as the Don Mariano Santos Ave., Carlos Francisco St. and Col.
Guido St. Aside from other north-south roads proposed for improving circulation in
the middle of the town, the existing Manila East Road-Quezon Ave. route in the west
and the Darangan-Antipolo Road in the east currently provide external circulation.
The commerce flowing along these major arteries should be caught by Angono and
transmitted to its relatively undeveloped middle portion. What is envisioned for the
town is a local cellular economy connected by a circular system of roads that will
allow multiplier effects and minimization of factor leakages. The vertical connections
will act as conduits for attracting capital especially from Metro Manila through the
town's space and natural resources as well as its agricultural and industrial products.
Considering Angono's highly urbanized nature due to its proximity to Metro Manila as
well as to the preemption of vacant lands to urban/residential uses, its proposed land
use plan may actually be labelled an urban land use plan. This is readily seen in the
predominance of proposed urban uses over production and/or protection forest uses
in terms of hectarage (Map 4).
1. The residential zone. Two types of residential areas have been designated
for Angono -- medium-density (R-2) housing and high-density (R-3) housing.
Because of its urbanized character and limited area, low-density (R-1) housing
areas can no longer be proposed for the town.
The high-density (R-3) sub-zone is found in the western half of the town in
Barangays. Kalayaan, San Vicente, Poblacion Ibaba, Bagumbayan, San
Pedro, Sto. Nino, San Isidro, Mahabang Parang and San Roque. Allowed in
this more congested section is a population density of more than 250 persons
per hectare as well as mixed housing types and high-density housing, line
walk-up apartments and flats with community auxiliary uses increasingly
commercial in scale. This residential type occupies a large area of 460.43
hectares.
The major commercial (C-1) area or Central Business District (CBD) is located
at the southern bend of Quezon Ave. in Barangays. Sto. Nino, San Pedro,
Bagumbayan, San Isidro and San Vicente. This is an area where land values
are highest and commercial activity is intense especially in terms of retail and
wholesale trade, professional, financial and related services as well as
recreational services. This commercial sub-zone occupies an area of 32.95
hectares.
The minor commercial (C-2) area can be seen as strips along both sides of the
upper part of Quezon Ave. and along the Manila East Road in Barangays. Sto.
Nino, Kalayaan, San Roque and San Isidro. This commercial sub-zone is
characterized by quasi-commercial and residential establishments engaged in
retail trade and service industries performing supplementary functions to the
major commercial area. This big area but commercially minor section covers
5.63 hectares.
3. THE INDUSTRIAL ZONE. There are two sub-zones under this land use
category -- the light-industrial (I-1) and medium-industrial (I-2) areas. These
are found close to the eastern boundaries of the municipality where a number
of industries have already located themselves as well as on the upper
unflooded portion of the lakeshore area. Their peripheral location minimizes
the spread of industrial pollution on the residential areas as effected by the
northeast and southwest monsoons. It must also be mentioned that only light
and medium industries are proposed for Angono since it is still within the 50-
kilometer radius (from Manila) ban on heavy industries as stipulated in the
Presidential Memorandum Circular of March, 1973.
The light-industrial (I-1) sub-zone lies along Angono – Taytay Coastal Road in
Brgy. Kalayaan and Don Mariano Santos Avenue in Brgy. San Isidro.Allowed
in this area are industries classified as non-pollutive/non-hazardous, non-
pollutive/hazardous and non-pollutive/extremely hazardous. Thus, the
industries permitted in this sub-zone are the less environmentally destructive
ones. The space reserved for this land use activity covers 32.65 hectares.
The medium-industrial (I-2) area is found in southern Part of Brgy. San Isidro
along M.L. Quzeon Avenue near Veterans Park..occurs as large blocks in the
northeast and southeast corners of Barangay. The industries proposed here
are those classified as pollutive/non-hazardous, pollutive/hazardous and
pollutive/extremely hazardous. This standard description of medium-industrial
land use should of course be qualified for the lakeshore area in terms of
limiting the industries there to at least the pollutive/non-hazardous ones. This
industrial sub-zone occupies 5.54 hectares.
seen in every Barangays. This land use zone takes up only about 25.93
hectares of the town's total land area.
5. THE PARKS AND RECREATION ZONE. The parks and recreation (PRZ)
zone is found in every open spaces of the subdivisions, resorts in Bgy.
Kalayaan and San Isidro, golf course at Bgy. San Roque, covered courts,
firing range at Bgy. San Isidro and parks at Bgy San Isidro and San Vicente.
Other parks and recreation is located in the southwestern tip in the vicinity of
the river mouth in Barangays. Poblacion Ibaba, San Vicente and
Bagumbayan. The one along the Manila East Road is accessible while the
river mouth portion can only allow non-intensive or limited recreational
activities as it is often flooded. A linear park-cum-embankment is proposed
along the lakeshore stretch of the town. This will complement the river mouth
recreational area. The parks and recreation zone occupies 56.88 hectares.
6. THE MINING ZONE. The mining zone (MZ) occurs in the middle southern
section of the town, mostly within Bgy. San Roque and Bgy. San Isidro. The
proposed mining area actually refers to the contract area awarded to Concrete
Aggregates Corporation now known as Lafarge Holcim Inc. by the Mines and
Geo-Sciences Bureau (MGSB) under a Mineral Production Sharing
Agreement. The mining firm extracts basalt for construction purposes and in
the process of doing this, it has already created a deep and wide pit in the
middle of the town. This mining operation, despite the revenues it provides to
the municipality, has resulted to such undesirable effects as: the siltation of the
Angono River, air and noise pollution, the destruction of the town’s main
roads, and creation of cracks in the archeological petroglyphs nearby with
continuous dynamite blasting of rocks. The area leased to Lafarge Holcim Inc.
is 211.99 hectares but as shown on the GIS map and Table 3, it has only
176.53 hectares within the boundary of municipality. Buffer areaeither orchard
or protection forest in the adjacent area of the mining zone in an urbanized
area is idealfor the ecological health of the municipality.

1. DEVELOPMENT GOALS
2. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
“In the spatial terms, the CALABARZON region, as a matter of tourism, will have to
continue to accommodate the overspill of population from Metro Manila. At the same time,
the decentralization of economic activities is another major thrust of national development
policy, which will have to be reflected in the Region’s spatial development in the future.”
“Another expected role of the CALABARZON region, partly implied by the first role of
industrialization, is to attract foreign and domestic investments and contribute also to export
promotion. In addition to political stability, which is largely beyond the control at a regional
level, the provision of better natural and human environment will be the general expectation
of prospective investors, supported not only by better physical infrastructure but also by
capable people and an efficient social system.”
“The area in Rizal to the east of Metro Manila has been a main receiving area of the
spillover industries from the capital region. At the same time, fringes of this suburban area
have been developing rapidly as “bedroom communities” for those commuting to Metro
Manila and its immediate vicinity. The population growth rate of Rizal is the highest in
CALABARZON.”
“This trend will continue but at a reduced rate. Lack of land suitable for
industrial/urban uses will be a main constraining factor. The further encroachment on limited
lowland agricultural areas along the Laguna Lakeshore should be prevented. More
employment opportunities should be created in the upland areas without causing further
The Rizal inland agro-industrial park has dual objectives of developing inland areas
of the Rizal province and conserving environmentally vulnerable upper catchment areas.
Specific objectives are (1) to provide the means of livelihood for rural people by creating
productive agro-industrial area in the upland of Rizal; (2) to promote proper management of
land resources to prevent erosion and other environmental problems; and (3) to prevent
unorderly urbanization/industrialization into the Marikina watershed.
The town would need to control the proliferation of subdivisions especially those in
the upper slopes. It will also have to control squatting in its lakeshore areas. Eventually in
the future the town would have to fully urbanize with the complete conversion of agricultural
lands into built-up uses. The town’s role in Rizal is that of a secondary service center in the
league of Tanay but is secondary to centers such as Cainta, Taytay and Antipolo. In this
manner it would have to expand its commercial area. This includes the expansion of the
public market. Another role for the town is that of a location of small and medium
enterprises that caters to exports. At the same time they may serve as downstream
industries of the large industries within the town, and to those of Taytay and Cainta.
Angono is also a potential tourism area. It is the birth of famous Philippine artists and
an activity base for many contemporary artists. Several art galleries are open to the public,
and a new art and craft center is planned. Several resorts have been established in the
Laguna north area along the national road.
Angono, aside from its treasury of artistic creativity and welcoming citizenry, has a
wealth of natural, cultural and man-made attractions endemic to its municipality which will be
tapped for additional tourism development. Tourism product and service development has to
be stimulated, strong institutional framework, legislation and organizational structures in
place.
