centered early warning system necessarily comprises four (4) key elements: knowledge of the risks;
monitoring, analysis and forecasting of the hazards; communication or dissemination of alerts and
warnings; and local capabilities to respond to the warnings received. The expression “end-to-end warning
system” is also used to emphasize that warning systems need to span all steps from hazard detection to

Chapter 1 – Introduction
1.1 Rationale
The passage of the Local Government Code of 1991 mandated national government
agencies to coordinate, inform, and possibly involve local government units (LGUs) in the planning
and implementation of their respective programs, projects, and activities. Prior to designating and
enforcing public transportation routes, the Department of Transportation (DOTr), formerly known
as the Department of Transportation and Communications (DOTC), needed LGUs to produce a
certification that attests the need for public transportation services based on LGU development
plans. This procedure acknowledges LGUs' command of their own mobility and accessibility
requirements as well as of the regional laws and regulations that were put in place to deal with
regional transportation issues.Therefore, it is in LGUs' best interests to broaden their scope and
assume control over local route planning.
The Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) was created with the aforementioned
concept and given to LGUs in order to enable them to create route-oriented transportation plans.
The DOTr transfers the decision-making and provision of public transportation services
from the private sector to the public sector under Department Order No. 2017-011, also known as
the "Omnibus Guidelines on the Planning and Identification of Public Road Transportation Services
and Franchise Issuance." By giving LGUs more control over local, regional, and national
transportation planning, this action reduces LGUs' reliance on the private sector. The LPTRP will
assist LGUs in creating and implementing local public transit routes in order to carry out this
objective.
Therefore, it is the responsibility of the Local Government Units to plan, construct, and
implement local public transportation routes that are in conformance and integrated with the
Municipality's other local plans such as the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and the
Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP).
The Municipality of San Isidro's proposed public transportation plan aims to improve the
quality of life for those who live there now and in future generations. Environmental
considerations in this public transportation design will lower pollution, traffic congestion, and
accidents.
The Omnibus Franchising Guidelines (OFG) serve as one of the legal foundations for
developing the Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP). According to the aforementioned
criteria, "local government units plan public transport routes based on the current and projected
travel patterns in their respective areas. These routes will be contained in the Local Public
Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) of LGUs that will serve as basis for franchise issuance by the LTFRB.”
The Local Public Transport Route Plan Team was created by the Municipality of San Isidro
through Executive Order No. _62_ Series of 2022 in accordance with DOTr Department Order No.
2017-001 and DOTr-DILG JMC No. 001 series of 2017 dated June 19, 2017, which both state that
"There is a need to create the Local Public Transport Route Plan Committee." This team is
composed of the following:

The Municipality of San Isidro, one of the interior towns of Bohol, was originally called as
“Agbunan”,one of the biggest Barrios of the municipality of Catigbian during the Spanish regime in
the Philippines. During and at the end of the Philippine-American War, Catigbian suffered the
worst destruction of buildings and houses leaving the town devastated and sparsely inhabited.
The barrio continued to develop during the ensuing years, and residents’ economic, social,
and religious lives saw some division. However, vegetation, favorable climate and agricultural
lands attracted more people to come. Families moved to the neighborhood and built permanent
homes there, most of them from Cebu and nearby towns and provinces. The lay religious and
devote people were able to construct a barrio chapel with St. Isidore as their patron saint. In the
process, the barrio’s former name “Agbunan” was changed to “San Isidro”.
On June 17, 1949, the Municipality of Catigbian was transformed into a town, reinstating
all the barrios that were under its control before 1900, including Barrio San Isidro.
The effort to turn the neighborhood into a normal municipality was finally welcomed after
fifteen years. The initiative was led by Mr. Pedro L. Samuya, a teacher at a public school and
engaged community member. In a community assembly held in November 1964, the San Isidro
neighborhood leader and local officials finalized the petition asking the higher authorities to realize
their long-cherished dream. On December 30, 1965, San Isidro was officially recognized as a new
municipality by Executive Order No. 210 S-1965 issued by the Office of the President Diosdado
Macapagal with the assistance of Mayor Lucas Asotigue of Catigbian. On January 1966, the newly
established town's first group of elected authorities, led by Mayor Pedro L. Samuya, took office.
Sadly, the town's existence was short-lived as a result of the Supreme Court's ruling
declaring all municipalities established by executive order to be void. The Lower House of Congress
received House Bill No. 17118 on March 7, 1968, which established the Municipality of San Isidro
in the Province of Bohol. The town officials of Catigbian, the Honorable Provincial Board, Governor
Lino I. Chatto, and Congressman Jose Zafra, who wrote and sponsored the bill, served as
motivation for the most recent support.
By signing Republic Act No. 5662 into law on June 21, 1969, President Ferdinand E. Marcos
established the new Municipality of San Isidro in the Province of Bohol.
The following barrios were included in the political jurisdiction: Cabanugan, Caimbang,
Cansague Norte, Causwagan Sur, and Poblacion (from Catigbian), Abehilan, Baunos, Cambansag,
Cansague Sur (from Antequera), Masonoy, Candungao (from Calape), and (from Tubigon). A
special election was held in November 1969 to select the first group of elected town officials at the
same time as the general election. Vice Mayor Alejandro Burbano and Mayor Pedro L. Samuya
were chosen. Bernardo Cosmo, Cresencio Lumiguid, Rafael Mantabute, Pascual Mante, Pedro
Pagas, and Basilio Samocino were the councilors. There was a local election on November 9, 1971.
With the exception of the Vice Mayor, all of the aforementioned elected officials ran again without
opposition, and he still won.
Table 1 enumerates the name of the local official, their official positions and the period of
term of office. The period covers from 1969 to the present year 2022.

The San Isidro Municipality spans 6,003.50 hectares. A new town was finally formed,
bringing to fruition the long-cherished and arrogant goal of the residents of San Isidro.
1.4.1 Geography
The Local Government Unit - San Isidro, Bohol is a fifth-class Municipality. It is one of the
landlocked municipalities on the northwestern part of the province of Bohol bounded by the
neighboring municipalities of Tubigon on the north, Catigbian on the east, Antequera on the
southwest, and Calape on the west. The Sampilangon River (tributary of Abatan River) marks the
municipality’s boundary with Catigbian on the east. Further north of Tubigon is the Bohol Strait.
Further south of Antequera is Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol Province.
From Tagbilaran City and traveling northeast along the national road, San Isidro is about 32
kilometers road distance away. The center of the municipal government, Barangay Poblacion, is
centered at 90 51’36” N Latitude and 1230 58’12” E.
The location of the municipality of San Isidro is shown in the Map 1. The municipality
belongs to the 2nd District of Bohol’s Congressional Districts together with 13 other towns,
respectively, Clarin, Sagbayan, Inabanga, Danao, Dagohoy, San Miguel, Buenavista, Getafe,
Talibon, Trinidad, Bien Unido, and Ubay.

The Municipality of San Isidro is shaped almost like a tall triangle with the apex pointing to
the northeast. A large part of San Isidro, 89 percent, is classified as Alienable and Disposable and a
small of forest remain, about 11 percent or 635.8117 hectares (Table 2). Elevation ranges from 100
meters lowest to 475 meters highest. The central part is an elevated area that trends northeast to
southwest. The central part, comprising more than half of San Isidro, is situated at elevations
between 201 and 300 meters. The highest elevations reaching 400 meters are found in the north
(at the northernmost parts of Baryong Daan and Cabanugan) and southwest (Candungao near the
boundary with Calape Municipality). (see Map)
Approximately half of San Isidro has slopes of 0-18% (level to undulating and rolling). These
areas are situated mostly on the northern half of the municipality’s central portion. About one-
fourth of the land has 18% to 30% slopes (rolling to hilly). (see Map 3)

The total land area of San Isidro is 6,003.50 hectares comprising twelve (12) barangays as
set forth by Republic Act No. 5662 Series of 1969, an act creating the municipality of San Isidro
which was signed by then President Diosdado Macapagal.
Map 4 shows the distribution of area by barangay administrative coverage. The political
subdivision survey commissioned and initiated by the DBM through the LMB-DENR’s CAD 960-D,
was conducted from July 31, 1987 to June 01, 1988 to the twelve (12) barangays of San Isidro.
From the north going south, these are Brayong Daan, Cabanugan, Candungao, Masonoy,
Causwagan Sur, Cambansag, Poblacion, Caimbang, Cansague Norte, Cansague Sur, Abehilan, and
Baunos.
The only urban barangay of the municipality is the Barangay Poblacion which is also the
biggest barangay in terms of land area occupying 868.5907 hectares, representing 14.47% of the
total land area. The smallest is Barangay Baryong Daan with an area of 232.3296 hectares or
3.87% of the total land area. Table 2 shows the land area per barangay of the municipality.

Municipality of San Isidro has a total population of 9,909 based on the Philippine Statistics
Authority’s (PSA) population census in 2020. It is a sparsely populated municipality comprising only
0.71% of the Bohol’s provincial population of 1,394,329. Total number of households for the
municipality is 2,380 and the average annual growth rate in the last 5 years is 2.66 percent.
Of the total population of the Municipality of San Isidro, 2,289 or 23.10% households are
residing in the urban areas( Poblacion) and 7,620 or 76.90% are living among the 11 rural
barangays. Barangay Poblacion is the most populated among the 12 barangays with 2,289 with an
average annual growth rate of 1.44 percent. Following it is Barangay Candungao with a population
of 1,204 and an average annual growth rate of 6.12 percent. Barangay Baryong Daan is the least
populous barangay with a population of 326.
The three most populated barangays were Poblacion, Cabanugan and Candungao that
benefitted from their location along the national tertiary road and close proximity to the much
larger municipalities of Tubigon, Catigbian, Antequera and Calape. The relatively low population of
the municipality shows in its average density at around 1 person per hectare compared to 2.56
persons per hectare in the urban barangay of Poblacion. (see Table 3)

*note: red values indicates a percent decrease
Table 4 exhibit the projected population of every barangay of San Isidro for the years 2021
to 2027. The projected population was based on the average Municipal population growth rate in
order not to have a diminishing population of the barangays which have negative population
growth rate. The LGU’s population will continue to grow slowly from 2021 to 2027 with an average
population growth rate of 2.66% according to the PSA projections. From a population of 9,909
persons, in 2021, the municipality will grow to 10,173 persons, and by 2027, the municipal
population is projected to be 11,908 persons. In the year 2021,the municipality has experienced
in-migration reflected in the projected count of 10,173 and the actual population count of 10,281
(see Table 5). The significant increase is a probable outcome due to the COVID-19 pandemic where
some lost their jobs and decided to go home to their towns as they have also seen that there is
now a continuous development of the municipality that may lead them to different economic
opportunities.

MUNICIPALITY OF SAN ISIDRO, BOHOL 27
LOCAL PUBLIC TRANSPORTATION AND ROUTE 2022 - 2027
PLAN
The municipality of San Isidro has educational institutions at various levels, some of which
have primary and secondary schools. There are primary and secondary schools in a few of the
barangays.
The municipality has a total of sixteen (16) public schools, 12 of which are primary and
elementary grade school, and 4 secondary level schools , as shown in Map 6. Schools in San Isidro
with respective land area in hectares as shown in Table 6. The primary schools in barangays
namely: Baryong Daan (0.4991), Causwagan Sur (1.1917), and Masonoy (0.8229). Elementary
schools in barangays namely: Abehilan (0.9599), Baunos (1.0695), Cabanugan (1.0798), Caimbang
(1.0025), Cambansag (1.0000), Candungao (0.8309), Cansague Norte (0.6998), Cansague Sur
(1.0072), and Poblacion, the San Isidro Central Elementary School (1.1285). Two (2) Junior High
School in barangay Cabanugan and Cambansag (0.7010) and three (3) complete high school in
barangay Cabanugan, Candungao (0.5750 )and Poblacion, the San Isidro National High School
(1.5753). While other schools have nothing at all, some have vital amenities including clinics,
comfort rooms, playgrounds, and computer rooms. During emergencies caused by natural
disasters, some of these schools serve as evacuation centers.During the height of the COVID-19
pandemic, some schools are used as barangay isolation centers. San Isidro has incomplete learning
institution, it has no tertiary school at present.
School records show that the total student population for the year 2020-2021 is 149 in
primary, 1076 in elementary and 1239 in secondary level, which is higher than the enrolment
record of the academic year 2019 - 2020. The school year 2019-2020 has the lowest population of
students, partly because of the pandemic and the schools are using the modular type of learning.
While some continue their education, there are also parents and students who prefer not to enrol.
(See Table 7)
A student-teacher ratio describes how many "full-time equivalent" teachers are hired by a
school, district, or educational system in relation to how many students are enrolled in such
institutions. The objective and benchmark of one instructor for every student is a teacher-student
ratio of 1:30. Classes might be managed effectively and efficiently with that standard ratio.
In Table 8 is shown the student-teacher and student -classroom ratio by level for school
year 2020-2021. There are eight (8) public elementary schools with an aggregated school site
land area of 8.7781 hectares. With regards to facilities, there are a total of 58 classrooms with a
total enrolment of 1119, thus, the student-classroom and student-teacher ratio are 22:1 and 20:1
correspondingly. The male to female ratio is 591 males for every 528 females.
There are 4 public secondary schools. The School-Year 2020-2021 enrolment for secondary
level is 1240, 61 teachers and 39 classrooms. The student-classroom ratio is 32:1 while the
student-teacher ratio is 21:1. The male to female ratio of enrollees for secondary level is 668
males for every 5 females.
School Year
Type/Level
2018 - 2019 2019 - 2020 2020 - 2021
2.3 Employment
The municipality's ability to sustain its natural resources is essential to its ability to thrive
economically. San Isidro’s agriculture sector remains to be the major source of employment and
livelihood in the municipality. Agricultural activities in San Isidro are focused on the cultivation of
food crops such as palay, corn, coconut, fruits (mango and banana), vegetables and root crops
with rice as the major staple food in the province, raising livestock , poultry farming and in
fisheries. Commercial activities are concentrated in Poblacion and majority is sari-sari store.
Cottage industries such as basketry and furniture making and among others are available.
There were 2,968 members of the labor force as projected in the Community Based
Monitoring System (CBMS) result in 2015. Also according to the 2015 CBMS data, 1,166 are
underemployed of which 40.22% are males and 37.75% are females.
AS per BPLO’s record, the primary sector ranked the highest or supplied more employment
to the population specifically those engaged in agricultural activities. It is followed by tertiary
sector. Wholesale, retail, and public administration are the tertiary sector's top job-producing
subsectors. Due to a lack of data, it is impossible to estimate the number of people employed
locally. For this reason, we can only deduce, roughly, that some of these jobs in the tertiary
industries were not genuinely local.
2.4 Housing
Housing delivery in the Municipality of San Isidro remains a challenge because of the
increasing household population both from natural growth and in-migration coming from newly
formed households. However, for the past decades, San Isidro has demonstrated a slow or
minimal growth of population, hence, the issue is not considered a major problem to the planning
area.
The data used for analyzing the housing situation was based on the 2015 survey of the
municipality’s Community-Based Monitoring System due to unavailable survey on housing by the
PSA for 2020.
Data from the 2015 PSA Census reveled that of the 2,194 housing units 679 or 31% are
concrete/brick/stone, 617 units or 28% are wood, 584 units or 27% are half concrete/brick/stone,
12 units or 0.55% are galvanized iron/aluminum and 289 units or 13% are
bamboo/sawali/cogon/nipa while only 13 units 0.60% are makeshift or made of light materials,
trapal, and others. (See Table 9)
Table 9: Occupied Housing Units by Construction Materials of the Outer Walls and Roof,
Municipality of San Isidro, 2015
The total housing backlog is estimated at 488, of which 5 are from doubled-up housing
units, and the rest are from displaced families due to proximity to danger areas and
infrastructure projects. Displaced units or those that are in need of relocation are households
located in very high and high landslide and flood susceptible area. Housing backlog due to
population increase until 2029 is 668units or around 8 hectares. This is on the assumption that
each household will be allocated 120 square meters inclusive of area for road network, parking
spaces and open spaces. Hence, the municipality has delineated 8 hectares for Socialized
Housing area in Poblacion to address the current and future housing backlog.
Trading involves mostly of the basic goods needed by the people in the municipality. The
most common type of trading in San Isidro are sari-sari stores, food vending, rice retailing, and
vending of agricultural products. Most common wholesale and retail products are on meat, fish,
vegetable, dry goods, beverages, rice and feeds. The completion of San Isidro Public Market has
given rise to around fifty (50) market stalls. Some stall owners are also individuals who are
producing at the same time selling their products while some are basically engaged purely in
trading and selling.
In the municipality, there is neither a commercial nor a rural bank. They can pawn their
precious items at one Money remittance center, where they can use the money to start a business
or for their own requirements. There are also functional cooperatives that provide credit services
and charge their members fair interest rates. Friends and family are additional sources of credit in
the municipality, providing money to people at exorbitant interest rates.
At present, the existing commercial area of San Isidro is the Public Market and few
commercial strips adjacent to the market along the national highway in Barangay Poblacion. This
is usually the norm or setting of location for commercial areas wherein the center of economic
activities normally follows the location of government institutions especially along the main road.
Almost all institutions are situated in Barangay Poblacion, like the Municipal Hall Building, Police
Station, and Elementary and Secondary Schools.
The Municipality has four (4) road systems, namely: national, provincial, municipal and
barangay road. Another road type which commonly linked the rural barangays is the farm to
market road (FMR) road. ( see Figure 1 Road Classification Map and Map 7 Road Network Map).
The municipality is accessible through several modes of transportation. The most common
mode of travel to all barangays is the tricycles and motorcycles locally known as “habal-habal”.
Buses plying from Tagbilaran to Tubigon or vice-versa is another means of transportation in the
municipality. Habal-habal is an indigenous means of transportation usually used to serve upland
barangays where tricycles cannot stand rough, steep terrain and narrow roads. This is primarily
used in the municipality to reach households in the uplands. There are approximately ten (10)
habal-habal based on data provided from the transportation sector. Tricycle and habal-habal have
fare matrix ranging from ₱25 - 150, although rates may vary depending on the agreement
between the driver and the commuter.
The municipality has no Bus Terminal. However, areas near the public market serves as the
temporary parking/waiting areas of tricycles and habal-habal, and some just at nearby national
highways.

Protection Special Use 286.8239 4.779 286.8239 4.778 0
Agricultural Area
Areas allocated for agriculture is further subdivided into protection agriculture and
production agriculture. The protection agriculture are those areas under NPAAAD which can
be found in the entire municipality. The total land area of 3,384.7510 hectares (56.38%) for
the protection agricultural land is where rice and corn are planted. On the other hand, the
production agriculture area with total land area of 1,734.5480 hectares supplied the food
needs as well as serve as source of income of farmers in the Municipality. Agricultural
production areas are located in the entire municipality. Based on the demand from sectoral
and computed GIS needs, agricultural areas has been reduced to accommodate other
development needs.
Forestland Area
Forest lands include public forest and forest reserves. The planning area has a total area of
635.8117 hectares subdivided into forest reserve and production forest. There are no
proposed changes to its land area requirement as most of these forest areas are protected
and reserved. Forest reserve areas or Forest Protection areas are found in Barangays
Abehilan, Baunos, Cambansag, Cansague Sur, Cansague Norte and Caimbang. The forest
reserve will ensure the protection and conservation of the different species and the
ecosystems that can be used for scientific researches and provide preserved scenery for
enjoyment of the present and future generations.
These areas are intended for residential, commercial, industrial, institutional, parks,
infrastructure and utilities with total proposed land area of 236.6682 hectares.
a. Residential Area
The existing residential land use area consists of individual housing units largely concentrated
at the urban barangay of Poblacion and some clustered houses in core areas of the eleven
rural barangays. The approved proposed residential land area from the Municipality’s 1999
CLUP is 26 hectares and the updated existing land area this 2019 is 92.1730 hectares
To address the future housing needs of the study area, the local government shall allocate
and additional 2 hectares for residential area according to the sectoral analysis resulting to a
proposed land use area of 93.2137 hectares with an increase of 1.13%.
Proposed residential land use area of 93 hectares will be generally derived by taking into
account the areas which are utilized for residential purposes (urban/rural) distributed in the
different barangays. Residential areas particularly at the rural barangays are computed based
on the aggregate area occupied by clusters of more than five structures and where social
service facilities and economic activities such as schools, chapels, recreational areas, trading
post and farmland are present. Settlement areas agreed by the community shall consider the
hazard maps provided by the authorized government agencies as an additional tool in
regulating residential land use.
b. Socialized Housing
The approved socialized housing of 5 hectares from the Municipality’s CLUP in 1999 was
intended for the displaced families living in areas identified as hazard prone areas and
families that will be affected by future infrastructure project development in Baryong Daan.
There are no suggested changes or expansion to the proposed land use area.
c. Commercial Area
Commercial areas contribute considerable income to the Municipality which is being used
to fund the Municipality’s programs and projects as well as provide the basic services for its
jurisdiction. This consists of the public market, eateries, wholesale and retail stores,
pharmacy, bakeshops and other small establishments located at the town center in
Barangay Poblacion. The approved commercial area from the 1999 CLUP was 1.5 hectares.
Proposed land use area for commercial is 5.85 hectares. This will cover the new and bigger
public market in Poblacion and barangay trading posts from the rural barangays. Other
establishments in addition to the existing economic activities include, gasoline stations,
funeral parlor, beauty parlors, rice and feeds stalls, lending and remittance centers,
cooperatives, pawnshops, meat and vegetable dealers and string of commercial
establishments located on both sides of roads.
d. Institutional Area
With its vision to provide efficient and accessible public service to the people, an estimated
3.4621 hectares of the total land area of the Municipality will be allocated for institutional
area. Approved institutional area from 1999 CLUP was 6.50 hectares.
Institutional land use area consists of public and private institutions like government offices,
educational facilities, health centers and religious establishments. Institutions include,
municipal hall, barangay hall, police and fire stations, barangay health centers, nutrition
center, lying-in clinic, day care centers, primary and secondary schools, training center, and
others. The new institutional area has a sum of 17.5581 hectares, expanding by 24.56% from
the previous area of 14.0960 hectares.
e. Agri-Industrial
Light industrial areas or agri-industrial will have a role in economic growth of the
Municipality. At the same time the regulation of the operation of agri-industries in the
Municipality will help the protection of the environmental resources while maximizing the
agricultural production. This agri-industrial area consists of land intended for rice mills,
food processing, hollow block making, weaving and furniture making. At present, these
industrial activities are dispersed in some barangays where the industrial workers are living.
This is more of a homebased undertaking by family members and does not require to
relocate to Poblacion where the allocated industrial land use is located.
The approved industrial land use from 1999 CLUP was 1.50 hectares. The local government
allocated agri-industrial area in Poblacion to welcome potential investors in food processing
activities, hence the proposed land use for industrial is 3.7895 hectares to cover the future
requirements of the projected population in the next ten years.
f. Infrastructure
The primary strategy in the existing land use is to provide greater mobility and access in terms
of efficient transportation and circulation network. The need to develop additional roads,
especially those that would serve arterial functions to decongest the main and only highway
leading to Poblacion remains the primary priority. During the plan period, critical links are
Causwagan-Pawa Road (connecting municipalities of Catigbian and Tubigon), Poblacion-
Masonoy-Candungao Road (connecting municipality of Calape), and Caimbang Road,
( connecting municipality of Catigbian) which is already constructed but is not yet fully
concreted and narrow; hence, certain portions are unusable during inclement weather,
affecting the subject road’s efficiency.
Due to lack of terminal facilities allocated for public and private utility vehicles, street parking
is a very common scenario. Except for the terminal in public market area (15 slots), there are
no other appropriate terminals in the planning area currently utilized for public and private
utility vehicles. Along the thoroughfares of Antequera-Tubigon Road, PUVs line up to wait for
passengers either on the road shoulders or carriageways. This obstruction further decreases
the traffic capacity of the roads. Provisions for appropriate parking lots and amenities are
equally essential.
The existing land area for this category was 82.5750 hectares and this covers the different
categories of roads (national, provincial, municipal, and barangay), power utility areas, water
pipe areas, and transportation facilities like vehicle terminals and public waiting shed areas.
However, most of these utilities and facilities occupied the legal easements mandated by law.
Projected road requirement for urban is 6.12 kilometers while rural has enough roads to
provide mobility and accessibility within and outside the Municipality. These transportation
infrastructures are necessary to provide movement and/or in and out flow of people and
goods and services. The proposed land area of 105.5603 hectares is intended to cover
additional urban roads and vehicle terminal.
Open space, green space or parks and recreational areas are areas where permanent
building structures are not allowed. This includes municipal park, covered courts and other
recreational facilities such as basketball courts, and gymnasiums.
San Isidro has an existing land use of 0.2544 hectares. In addition to the existing park and
recreational areas located in the planning area, the Municipality intends to add to its open
space portfolio the barangay community parks dispersed to the twelve barangays.
Proposed land area for Parks and Recreation is 3.1354 hectares and intends to cover all the
eleven rural barangays of the municipality and the urban barangay of Poblacion. The
barangay community identified these areas intended for this category based from their
desired converging areas.
a. Cemetery/Memorial Park
There is no significant expansion proposed for public cemeteries and memorial parks. The
existing number of cemeteries and its land area (1.5 hectares) can accommodate the
projected deaths or the mortality figures of the Municipality for the next 10 years based from
the sectoral studies in CLUP volume 3. There are three cemeteries in the planning area, two
in Poblacion and one in Causwagan Sur
Hence, the proposed land area is 1.9165 hectares, and increase of 20.10 percent from the
existing land area of 1.5958 hectares.
With the goal of the Municipality to reduce waste at source and increase waste diversion,
the local government decided to allocate 3 hectares of land area to be used as Material
Recovery Facility to accommodate the solid waste to be generated by 2029. This will
serve as segregation area prior to final disposal of wastes to the designated disposal area
for clustered municipalities in Bohol.
c. Tourism/Ecotourism
Tourism areas have a land demand of 8 hectares. These areas are found around rivers in
between barangays Caimbang and Cansague Norte (Kilab- Kilab Waterfalls), springs in
Cabanugan (Oslob Spring), ponds and caves in Cansague Sur (Fishlayan and
Cantijong Cave), shrine in Cansague Norte (Fatima Hill), mountain scenic views in
Candungao and Baryong Daan (Candungao Peak and Virgin Media Trix Peak) and
many more. Various activities that will offered to local and foreign travelers include
swimming, caving, camping, nature walk and picknicking, mountain trekking and
extreme adventure in Cambansag. These tourism sites will help in the conservation,
preservation and promotion of the natural resources with direct direct impact to the
local economy.
Proposed land use area for tourism is 7.5831 hectares, an increase by 253% from the
existing land area of 2.1505 hectares.
This land use is primarily intended for road fillings. Proposed land use area is 18.3066
hectares located in Barangays Masonoy and Causwagan Sur.
e. Buffer/Greenbelt
Buffer areas are areas required to separate residential land uses or incompatible uses of
land to mitigate the impact of noise and pollution from vehicles, equipment, truck traffic,
and otherwise. These areas are actual figures that result from the delineation on the
maps using QGIS based from the HLURB/DHSUD guidelines. The proposed land use
area is 17.0798 hectares.
f. Easement
These are the legal easements along rivers, creeks and all waterways. Easements are
imposed on land uses sited along waterways as per PD1067 which requires 3 meter strip in
urban area and 20 meters for agricultural areas. These areas are actual figures that result
from the delineation on the maps using QGIS based from the HLURB/DHSUD guideline.
Proposed easement area is 192.2532 hectares.
The municipality is traversed by a major river on its boundary with Catigbian. There are also
creeks which serve as tributaries to these rivers. Approximately 53.3220 hectares or 0.88 percent
of municipal land area is occupied by water.
There is no demand to reduce or expand the surface of rivers and creeks. However, legal
easement are allocated to maintain and sustain the quality of the water. The existing surface area
of rivers and creeks is 53.3220 hectares or 0.88 percent of municipal land area is occupied by
water.

Development Thrusts
As stated in the vision of the municipality, San Isidro’s desired role is to be “A paradise
and a premier nature-based tourism destination ”.The combined development thrust which is
AGRI-ECOTOURISM are adopted since these thrusts play significant functions in the existing
local economic structure. These development thrusts reflect and consider the physical,
natural, economic, social, cultural and institutional conditions, assets and features that are
present in San Isidro that the LGU would want to anchor the realization of its desired vision and
goals. The combination of these development thrusts will further transform San Isidro into a
sustainable and developed municipality.
* Eco-Tourism Development
The development thrust builds on the natural endowment of San Isidro such as
waterfalls, springs, rivers, ponds, caves, forest areas, and scenic landscapes. To be
provided are the required infrastructures and regulations to support, improve and
strengthened the municipality’s tourism thrust such as tourism/convention centers, access
roads, tourism facilities, parks and recreational facilities, sports facilities and others.
Protection, conservation and management schemes for upland forest and waterways shall be
put in place since the natural landscape are integral part and add value to local tourism.
* Agricultural Development
* Protection Areas
* Private lands with slopes of 50% and above are at the upper ridges of
barangays Candungao and Baryong Daan.
* The irrigated rice areas of San Isidro are considered prime agricultural lands
and thus given protected status and zoned as NPAAAD and SAFDZs. These SAFDZ are
recognized as protection areas because they contribute to attaining food self-
sufficiency. These are designated as key production areas and are protected from land
conversion – except for areas identified for urban expansion in this CLUP. These areas are
concentrated mainly in barangays Cansague Norte, Cansague Sur, Abehilan, Cambansag
and Caimbang.
* The riverbank, and riparian buffer zones of the inland waters of the
municipality are protection policy areas. Areas within 20 meters of river banks in
agricultural areas and 3 meters in urban areas are restricted areas. These areas are
declared as “no dwelling zone” and “no build zone” except for the construction of
flood and erosion control structures.
* Production Areas
* The production agriculture areas are areas outside the rice areas or NPAAAD or
SAFDZ and declared for agricultural use. These are the existing areas planted to
perennial crops mostly coconuts and found in the entire planning area.
* The agri-industrial areas are being allocated in Poblacion area intended for rice
and corn mills, and food processing activities.
* Eco-tourism activities shall be concentrated at four cluster areas and shall serve
as the tourism hub of municipality since it hosts numerous nature-based assets,
like waterfalls, caves, scenic mountain views, and river pools.
San Isidro’s road network is composed of a national tertiary road, provincial road,
municipal and barangay road. The national and provincial road connects the municipality to
Bohol’s lone city and municipalities while the municipal and barangay roads provide access to
different barangays of the municipality. Total length of the municipal road network is about
115.419 kilometers.
Table 17 shows the different road sections with corresponding length (in km.) by road
classification and the type of pavement, per barangay.
The national road which has a total road length of 12 kilometers or 10.6 percent of the
total road network of the municipality is paved of about 60 percent of concrete and the remaining
40 percent is paved with asphalt. For the provincial road with 7.32 kilometers in road length, 8
percent of it is paved with concrete, and 92 percent are still unpaved. Then, 11 percent of 10.46
kilometers of the municipal road is paved with concrete, 11 percent is paved with asphalt, and the
remaining 78 percent are still gravel and earth filled. And for the barangay roads which constitute
almost 74 percent of the entire local road network has a total road length of 85.42 kilometers of
which only 7 percent are paved with concrete and asphalt while the remaining 93 percent are still
unpaved.
Overall road density in San Isidro is 1.91 km/sq. km. of total land area, significantly above
the national standard of 1.5 Km./sq.km. Rural road density is 1.53 which is slightly above the
national standard of road density in terms of 1.5 km/Sq.km. of agricultural land. Using the
planning standard of HLURB/DHSUD on road density for urban roads of 2.4 km. per 1,000 urban-
population, the municipality’s current urban road length is 24 km or 10.39 km/1000 population,
which is significantly far above from the required length of 5.544 km considering the urban
population of 2310.

The Municipality has no available public transport route that caters the transport needs
of the local. Most people opt to travel with their private vehicles since lesser public transport
options are available in the area. Tricycles and habal-habal motorcycles serve as the main public
transport mode in the urban areas. Most of their routes are going to the far-flung and
hinterland barangays.

CLUP Volume 1 The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Bus (Ceres Liner, Ejoc Lines, Cosmod Lines), tricycle, and habal-habal are also popular
ways of transportation, just like in any other minor townships and towns in the province. The
lack of a standard and functioning public terminal is due to the following factors: First, there is
still no land available for its development. The second factor is the local government's
constrained funding for both land purchases and building. The third reason is that there aren't
as many transport vehicles operating, mostly due to a decline in passenger demand.
The Local Public Transport Route Plan (LPTRP) Team, with technical assistance from the
Office of Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator (MPDC), has identified the following
challenges for the municipality's Local Public Transport System. Each challenge is briefly defined
and described in accordance with information obtained through surveys, interviews, and
observations.
Bus
As per data from LTFRB, there is only one public utility bus operating in the Municipality
of San Isidro. There are also vehicles operating as a PUV but without proper authority from the
Land Transportation Franchising and Regulatory Board (LTFRB) catering locals from the
municipality going to Tagbilaran City. There are occasions when the buses are overloaded with
passengers, usually around holidays, even though the municipality is not as crowded as other
highly urbanized municipalities. This increases the potential of accidents and injuries. Table
below shows the number of bus routes and their corresponding number of units operating.
During the COVID-19 pandemic year, commuters find it hard to travel because of the
travel restrictions and the limited number of passengers that are allowed inside a public utility
vehicle as well as the reduced frequency of bus trips. This resolves to people in acquiring their
own motorcycles especially those that are working outside the municipality.

Municipality of San Isidro
CLUP Volume 1 The Comprehensive Land Use Plan
Tricycle/Habal-habal
Tricycles and habal-habal motorbikes are still the main form of transportation in the
Poblacion and the other rural barangays in the Municipality of San Isidro, despite the fact that
they are not allowed on public roads or highways. This is because of the absence of jeepneys or
filcab operating in the area. Another factor is that only barangays that are on national roads are
traversed by bus lines. Thus, the commuters are attracted to take tricycles or habal-habal as
they go to the upland barangay areas. Commuters that are from the far-flung barangays would
have to ride habal-habal to the Poblacion market area where it also serves the transport
terminal if they want to ride the bus going to Tubigon or Tagbilaran.
There are only eight (8) tricycle units and five (5) motorcycle/habal-habal units owned
by different people in the municipality, according to data in the Municipal Treasurer's Office. As
per records by the survey conducted by the Office of the Municipal Planning and Development
Coordinator (MPDC), there are more or less five (5) tricycle units and ten (10) habal-habal units
that are currently operating in the area. The discrepancy between these units means that there
are operators illegally operating and does not contribute any revenue to the LGU. With further
survey and interview to the drivers conducted, it has been found that these drivers had
organized an association but was later dissolved because of unresolved issues and conflicts of
members, thus it was not registered to the appropriate government agencies.
Terminals
Due to a lack of transport vehicles operating in the area and a constrained budget from
the local government unit, there is no standard public terminal in the Municipality of San Isidro.
The tricycles and habal-habal motorcycles are concentrated in Barangay Poblacion radiating to
the other barangays namely, Abehilan, Baryong Daan, Baunos, Cabanugan, Caimbang,
Cambansag, Candungao, Cansague Norte, Cansague Sur, Causwagan Sur, and Masonoy. The
waiting shed near the public market serves as the waiting area for the drivers and passengers.
The public utility jeepney, bus/minibus, and UVs that would meet the municipality's
transportation demands are not available. When those transportation options are not available,
tricycles and habal-habal motorcycles—many of which are unregulated—take their place. The
end effect is frequently a subpar and risky transportation system. Tricycles and habal-habal
have no fixed routes and can travel wherever in the municipality as long as it is passable. The
average setting capacity is two passengers per trip. As long as it is navigable, tricycles can travel
wherever in the municipality (mainly in the lowland and upland barangays) without following
any set routes. They frequently move about the municipality picking up passengers rather than
waiting for them in the terminal/waiting shed. Six passengers can travel on average per trip.

As shown in Table, total passenger demand for Tricycles and Habal-habal is low. One of
the reasons for this low demand is that most of the people from San Isidro prefers to go to
different places for their shopping needs. Though Poblacion have some small sari-sari stores,
and a public market, still more people would prefer to go to Tagbilaran City or Tubigon because
it offers more choices for shoppers and evidently lesser prices for groceries and basic home
needs such as medicines and processed foods. Some people from Barangay Abehilan and
Baunos also prefers to go to the neighboring town of Antequera because it is near and has
goods that has lesser prices. Those from Barangay Candungao would also prefer going to its
neighboring town of Calape because it would take them thirty to thirty five (30 - 35) minutes
away from Poblacion while going to Calape only takes them ten to fifteen (10-15) minutes.

These are some of the transport issues and problems in the municipality:
San Isidro, a 5th class municipality, lacks the financial resources necessary to set
up systematic, modernized, and sustainable public transportation services. These
deal with construction of public terminals and opening of new roads parallel to
the national highway.
Some portions of the provincial, municipal, and barangay roads are vulnerable to
flooding due to heavy rains. There are also limited opportunities for road
widening due to structures built along the road sides of some portions of the
national road. Roads leading to possible tourism areas needs improvement, repair
and maintenance to further promote these areas and ease the travel of the
visitors/tourists. The transportation of agriculture products from the farm to the
market also takes place on these same highways. Habal-habal and tricycles are
used to travel on several of these roadways. These push up the price of output at
the expense of farmers. These items' high transportation costs ultimately burden
consumers and reduce farmers' profit margins.
The economic base of San Isidro’s economy is functioning under the primary
sector or the extractive industry. Most of the people are farmers and are into
activities that are basically agriculture or natural resource based, thus there is a
lack of investment capital of local transport operators to purchase/acquire Euro-4
compliant vehicles.

Translating the vision into reality, the municipality should adopt the strategies built on the
eight paradigms that make up the “New Thinking for Agriculture” formulated by the
Department of Agriculture(DA) as follows: Modernization of agriculture, Industrialization of
agriculture, Promotion of exports, Farm consolidation, Infrastructure development,
Roadmap development, Higher budget and investments for agriculture, Legislative support.

5. Address infrastructure requirements that shall directly reduce costs of production and
distribution of agricultural commodities.
Tourism
1. Establish Local Tourism Plan.
2. Develop and protect identified nature-based tourism sites like waterfalls, caves, and
scenic mountain peaks and hills, co-managed or co- stewards by the MLGU, BLGU and CSO.
3. Increase transport accessibility and support facilities and amenities.
4. Capacitate local residents to actively engage in tourism activities.
5. Encourage local investors for establishment of auxiliary businesses incidental to
tourism.
6. Develop alliances with emerging tourism destinations in neighboring municipalities and
ensure reciprocity of benefits between the parties involved.
7. Continue to promote the upgrading of tourism facilities and amenities to become more
competitive.
The municipality’s comprehensive land use planning's three main concerns are efficient internal
and external linkages, improved and equitable access to basic social services, facilities, and
economic opportunities, and the stimulation of desired physical growth and development.
Infrastructure studies aim to address these issues.
In support to the attainment of the municipality’s vision, key strategies and priority actions are
continuously being developed to ensure safety and security of the populace in terms of improved
accessibility to efficient transport system and basic services and facilities.
Identified among the priority development program for the municipality’s connectivity and
accessibility include the:
1. Road network development leading to identified tourism sites and agricultural plantations.
2. Regular monitoring of road and bridge conditions to encourage arrival of tourists and for safety
reasons.
3. Regulate encroachments to RROW.
4. Advocate for provision of drainage system.
5. Construction of Public Transport Terminal.
The main goal of the current land use is to increase access and mobility through an effective
network of circulation and transportation. The top goal still remains the creation of new highways,
particularly arterial ones that would relieve traffic on Poblacion's main and only highway. Critical
connections Poblacion-Masonoy-Candungao Road (connecting municipality of Calape),
Causwagan-Pawa Road (connecting municipalities of Catigbian and Tubigon), and Caimbang Road
(connecting municipality of Catigbian) are not yet fully concreted and narrow; as a result, some
portions are impassable during bad weather, reducing the subject road's effectiveness.

The creation and evaluation of any planning ideas depend heavily on the selection of
proper objectives. The goals for this research's transportation planning reflect the outcomes that
are wanted for the study area and for fostering economic development while preserving the
environment.
Based on the municipality’s comprehensive plans, the following are the strategies to
implement transportation-efficient development:
1. Establishment and operations of new transport terminals that will cater public utility
vehicles;
2. Adoption and implementation of local programs, projects and ordinances that will ensure
public interest and welfare;
3. Proper planning, programming, prioritization and implementation of roads, bridges and
drainage construction projects;
4. Proper maintenance of existing roads, drainage, bridges and signages;
5. Opening of roads for possible alternate routes to avoid road congestion;
6. Opening of roads for possible for linkages of mostly local roads to support ecotourism and
agricultural development thrusts and for barangays with no direct access roads; and
7. Installation of Traffic Warning Signs and Signages.
The main source of information used to create this draft plan came from the 2020 census
of population, actual interviews with drivers and commuters conducted by the MPDC planning
team, maps from the Municipal Planning Development Office, some information from the Office of
the Municipal Treasurer, an actual vehicle count by the Office of the Municipal Planning, and
surveys conducted during peak hours in the morning from 6am to 7am and in the afternoon from
5pm to 6pm. The survey was carried out at the Barangay Poblacion intersection near the Public
Market on the national routes leading to Tagbilaran City and Tubigon, Bohol, where people and
vehicles typically go to get to their destinations.
The survey was a manual tallying/counting of the volume of passing vehicles. There are no
Public PUJs that are operating within the Municipality while UV Express and Buses traverse going
to the adjacent municipalities. The Public Market serves as a temporary terminal and most of the
public transport vehicles operating within the municipality are the tricycles and the motor for hire
or habal-habal motorcycles for which they shall pass at the National Highway then going to the
different barangays.
For the duration of the survey dated November 2222222, 2022 (wwwwday) from 6:00AM
to 7:00AM, there were 229229833 vehicles that were recorded; from 5:00PM to 6:00PM, 4433355
vehicles.
Considering that San Isidro is a 5 th class municipality, the demand for new routes is very nil
throughout the planning phase. The municipality is also surrounded by four municipalities, namely
Tubigon in the north, Antequera in the south, Catigbian in the east, Calape in the west. Further
south of Antequera is Tagbilaran City, the capital of Bohol Province. San Isidro is about 32
kilometers away from the city. Given that the economic activity is somewhat focused in the several
adjacent municipalities rather than inside San Isidro itself, this is undoubtedly one of the
development challenges the municipality is currently facing.
Any intra-municipal route that is suggested for the municipality will not be financially viable
because it is unlikely to draw any transportation providers. The municipality's topography and
population both play a significant role. As we can see on Map No. 1, the use category in the
municipality is dominated by agricultural and forestal areas, which obviously suggests that there is
very little passenger travel in these areas. Additionally, it is thought that the western section is
hilly, therefore it is undoubtedly impossible to provide tricycle, jeepney, and filcab routes in this
region.
Joint Memorandum Circular No. 01 of 2008 specifies that "tricycle operations should only
be confined along the city or municipal roads, not along national roads and is limited to only
routes not traversed by higher modes of public transport," but the Local Sanggunian may grant
permission if there is no alternative route. Tricycles and habal-habal motorcycles are most of the
municipality’s mode of transportation. They traverse along the national roads when going to the
rural barangays since there are no available alternative routes for inner barangays.
The Monitoring and Evaluation indicators will be used by the LPTRP Team of this
municipality in accordance with LPTRP Manual requirements. The LPTRP must be reorganized in
order to include and actively solicit the participation of the many stakeholders who were present
at the time the plan was implemented. The potential transportation performance indicators listed
in Table XX can be used to assess the quality of the municipality's public transportation services.
The reporting and revisions of the LPTRP will be based by the comprehensive land use plan
for further updates and will be assessed yearly by the LPTRP Team. Timeframe is within 3 years
turn-based and will be designated with three assessments.
Given the justifications and data gathered, the LPTRP Team hereby resolves not to propose
any INTRA-MUNICIPAL PUBLIC TRANSPORT ROUTE, but instead to recommend to the Provincial
Government and to the LTFRB Region 7 to increase the number of bus units in the routes listed in
Table XX so that the frequency of bus trips passing through San Isidro will significantly increase,
addressing some of the minor problems in the public transport systems of this municipality and
giving convenience to commuters, paving a pathway to faster economic activities.
