Volume No. 1: The Land Use Plan
FOREWORD
The Trece Martires City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of 2021-2030 is an
update of the previous TMC CLUP 2011-2020. The need to update the Comprehensive Land
Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance for Trece Martires City is underscored by its critical functional
role in the broader context of provincial and regional development. Aware of the importance of
having an updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance that shall ensure the
order growth of the city, the city government at its own initiative, sought technical assistance
from the Environmental, Land Use, and Urban Planning and Development Division of the
Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development (DHSUD), Region IV - A
(CALABARZON) and the Provincial Planning Office.
The CLUP 2021-2030 adheres to the Guidelines on CLUP and Zoning Ordinance
formulation issued by the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development.
Significantly, it was updated in compliance with two (2) landmark national laws, the Climate
Change Act of 2009 (RA 9729) and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010
(RA 10121), which require the mainstreaming of climate change adaptation and disaster risk
reduction in all national and local development plans including the CLUP, two new features that
were not present in the city’s previous CLUP.
Past and present developments as well as future normative development requirements
in relation to land use, socio-economic, infrastructure, local government administration and fiscal
administration sectors are presented in this document. The chapter on the land use contains a
discussion of the city’s natural features and land use analysis as well as the development
sectors follows s sequential pattern of presentation starting with a discussion of the existing
situation, followed by the identification of problems/resources, and sectoral recommendations.
It further emphasized that the figures/data contained in this plan are those that were
gathered during actual field survey as well as those made available by pertinent agencies and
individuals consulted during the plan preparation stage. Thus, the proposals/recommendations
presented are those which are deemed appropriate in the light of available information. Since
development is a dynamic process which may be influenced by unpredictable
social/economic/political factors and determinate government policies, some of the
proposals/recommendations may not be responsive to actual development needs. In which
event, revision/updating of the plan shall be necessary.
This CLUP is also a testimony that collaborated efforts were exhibited to ensure that this
local land use plan is not only forward looking but also adaptive and resilient to our constantly
changing environment.

SP RESOLUTION ADOPTING THE CLUP 2021-2030
1
INTRODUCTION
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The overarching theme of the Philippine Development Plan (2017-2022) revolves around
the strategy and goal of achieving inclusive growth. The pursuit of inclusive growth is perceived
as both a strategy and end-goal, and can be adopted as both the “means for and the ends of
development.
Localizing inclusive, therefore, means translating this concept into more concrete terms
that could be understood and operationalized at local government level.
This Comprehensive Land Use Plan 2015-2025 is anchored on the national framework
of development, particularly in its general aspiration of pursuing inclusive growth. Bringing the
benefits of this sustained growth to the level of communities involves translating this far-reaching
concept into tangible and effective strategies that are workable and appropriate for local
government units and their unique set of bio-physical, economic and socio-political features. It is
on this premise that the Comprehensive Land Use Plan was initiated and undertaken jointly by
the CLUP-TWG of Trece Martires City in collaboration with the Provincial Government of Cavite
thru the Provincial Planning and Development Office. The CLUP of Trece Martires City becomes
the official document adopted by the local government as a policy prime-mover that will serve as
a guidepost and blueprint in addressing pressing issues and concerns on various sectors of
development as well as physical and land use.
RATIONALE
This CLUP addresses current social-economic issues and concerns, support sectoral plans,
and provide local administrators, private interest groups, and the public with an integrated policy
framework to guide future land use action during the plan period. In detail, these plans allow
favorable scenarios, as follows:
i. Strengthened economic and social spaces interaction and linkages among the city’s
barangays, and between the city and the rest of CALABARZON and Metro Manila.
ii. Expansion of economic and social spaces toward areas suitable for human settlements
and away from environmentally-constrained or hazard-prone areas.
iii. Enhanced environmental aesthetics and improved community requirements such as
drainage, utilities, circulation, and recreational amenities, among others.
iv. Improved housing conditions through good, affordable and disaster resilient housing
projects
v. Minimization of land use conflicts.
LEGAL MANDATES AND ENABLING POLICY ENVIRONMENT

Comprehensive Land Use Planning (CLUP) is a constitutionally supported undertaking of
the State. The State declares its land use policies and principles in terms of relation to national
2
economy and patrimony as well as its police power for the promotion of public health, public
safety, public interest, public order, and general welfare
The comprehensive planning of Trece Martires City derives its legal basis from Republic
Act No. 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991. The LGC
envisions local government units (LGUs) to become “self-reliant communities as well as
effective partners in the attainment of national goals” (Section 2a). Through the national policy of
devolution, LGUs are to enjoy more powers, authority, responsibilities and resources with which
to manage growth and change within their territorial jurisdiction. The LGC stipulates that the
local government units shall, in conformity with existing laws, continue to prepare their
respective comprehensive land use plans (CLUP) enacted together with zoning ordinances
which shall be the primary and dominant bases for determining future use of land and other
natural resources (Section 20). Section 109 of the Code likewise mandates LGUs to prepare
long-term, medium-term, and annual socioeconomic plans and public investment programs.
To further reiterate this responsibility of the LGUs, the Department of the Interior and
Local Government (DILG) issued Memorandum Circular 2001-77 dated July 6, 2001 urging
LGUs to fast-track preparation of their Comprehensive Development/Land Use Plans. This was
followed by Memorandum Circular 2002- 30 dated February 27, 2002 providing guidelines and
prescribing time periods for the adoption, review and approval of CLUPs and zoning ordinances.
The 1987 Constitution

The 1987 Constitution is the principal enabling law that provides for the sustainable
management and development of all the country’s resources, particularly land. It provides for the
purpose by which the country’s resources should be managed, used, developed, owned and
disposed.
Article XII, Section 6:
“The use of property bears a social function and all economic agents shall contribute
to the common good. Individuals and private groups, including corporations, cooperatives,
and similar collective organizations, shall have the right to own, establish and operate
economic enterprises, subject to the duty of the State to promote distributive justice and to
intervene when the common good so demands” (Art. XII, Section 6).
Republic Act 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991)

The Republic Act 7160 (RA 7160) or the Local Government Code of 1991 provides the
mandate of LGUs on local planning, legislation, implementation, including budgeting, and
monitoring.
Section 16:
“Every LGU shall exercise the powers expressly granted, those necessarily implied
there from, as well as powers necessary, appropriate or incidental for its efficient and
effective governance, and those which are essential for the promotion of the general welfare.
Within their respective territorial jurisdictions, local government units shall ensure and
support, among other things, the preservation and enrichment of culture, promote health and
3
safety, enhance the right of the people to a balanced ecology, encourage and support the
development of appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological capabilities, improve
public morals, enhance economic prosperity and social justice, promote full employment
among their residents, maintain peace and order and preserve the comfort and convenience
of their inhabitants.”
Section 20(c):
“The local government units shall, in conformity with existing law, continue to prepare
their respective Comprehensive Land Use Plans enacted through zoning ordinances which
shall be the primary and dominant bases for the future use of the land resources
Section 447(2)(vii)/Sec. 458(2)(vii):
“Adopt a Comprehensive Land Use Plan for the municipality/city: Provided, that the
formulation, adoption, or modification of said plan shall be in coordination with the approved
Provincial Comprehensive Land Use Plan.”
Section 447(2)(ix) - Municipality/Section 458(2)(ix) - City:
“Enact integrated zoning ordinances in consonance with the approved Comprehensive

Land Use Plan, subject to existing laws, rules and regulations…”
Section 447(a)(2)(vi)/Sec. 458(a)(2)(vi):
Prescribe reasonable limits and restraints on the use of property within the jurisdiction
of the municipality (Sec. 447(a)(2)(vi)/city (Sec. 458(a)(2)(vi).
Section 444(b)(3)(vii)/Sec. 455 (b)(3)(vii):
“Adopt measures to safeguard and conserve land, mineral, marine, forest, and other
resources of the municipality” (Sec. 444(b)(3)(vii)/city (Sec. 455(b)(3)(vii).
Section 468, 2, Article III, Chapter 3, Book III:
“(vii) Review the Comprehensive Land Use Plans and zoning ordinances of
component cities and municipalities and adopt a Comprehensive Provincial Land Use plan,
subject to existing laws.”
4
Other related legal bases on CLUP formulation provided for under RA 7160 are found
under sections 106(a); 109, a, 1-2 and 458(2)(ix); 476(7).
Executive Order No. 72
Sections 1(a):
“(a) Cities and municipalities shall continue to prepare or update their Comprehensive
Land Use Plans, in conformity with the land use planning standards and guidelines prescribed
by the HLURB and to national policies.
Republic Act 7279 (Urban Development and Housing Act)

The Urban Development and Housing Act (UDHA) or RA 7279 gives a clear-cut
definition of a Land Use Plan which the LGUs are mandated to adopt.
Definitions Land Use Plan
– the “rationale approach of allocating available land resources as equitably as

possible among competing user groups and for different functions consistent with the
development plan of the area and the program under this Act” (Section 3(k) of RA 7279). The
extent of comprehensiveness and the focus of land use planning process as well as the
preparation of the CLUP document are defined within the bounds of “land resources” by this
provision of UDHA which must be “consistent with the development plan of the area.”
Climate Change Act of 2009 (RA 9729)

The critical role of LGUs in the country’s mitigation and adaptation strategy on climate
change is distinctly mandated in Sec. 14 of the CCA (RA 9729).
Sec. 14 of the CCA:
“The LGUs shall be the frontline agencies (boldface provided) in the formulation,
planning and implementation of climate change action plans in their respective areas,
consistent with the provisions of the Local Government Code, the Framework, and the
National Climate Change Action Plan (2010-2022).”
The CCA law mandates the municipal and city governments as “one of their regular
functions” and shall mobilize the necessary resources and personnel to implement their local
climate change action plans. Provincial governments on the other hand are directed, along with
national government agencies, to provide technical and resources, enforcement and information
management assistance to LGUs to implement local CCA plans.
National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act (RA 10121)

This Act declares that it is the policy of the government to mainstream disaster risk
reduction and climate change in development processes such as policy formulation,
socioeconomic development planning, budgeting, and governance, particularly in the areas of
environment, agriculture, water, energy, health, education, poverty reduction, land use and
urban planning, and public infrastructure and housing, among others. Under the Act LGUs are
5
mandated to establish a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO)
whose functions include the identification and assessment of hazards, among others. The
LDRRMO is also mandated produce a Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Plan
(LDRRMP) which will identify disaster risk reduction measures that should be integrated in
the Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Comprehensive Development Plan.
Other laws and policies

▪ RA 8435 (Agricultural Fisheries Modernization Act)- Agricultural lands
▪ RA 9003 (Ecological Solid Waste Management Act)- Solid waste
▪ RA 9593 (National Tourism Act of 2009) – Tourism development
On the other hand, there are also several laws that affect an LGU’s mandate in
performing its land use planning and management function. These include:
• PD 1076 (Water Code of the Philippines)

• Other Planning Guidelines from the national agencies:
a. DENR
b. DILG
c. NEDA
METHODOLOGY
The major activities undertaken in the preparation of the City’s Comprehensive Land Use
Plan includes the following:
a. Review and assessment of existing City Ten Year Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
and Zoning Ordinance (ZO)
b. Situational Analysis. The Ecological profile (EP) formerly known as the Socio-Economic
Profile (SEP) of Trece Martires City has been reviewed and updated. A comprehensive and
in-depth assessment of the sectoral situations of Trece Martires City were undertaken by the
stakeholders to highlight sectoral issues and concerns, identify opportunities and potentials,
define current efforts and priorities and spatially locate these priorities and efforts within the
city.
c. Vision and Mission. Revisiting of the current vision and mision
d. Analysis of Existing Land Use. One crucial component of the overall planning approach is the
update of the present land use to the most recent year. The City Planning and Development
Coordinator’s Office used the google earth imagery, series of ground surveys, and
information on land use provided by the City Assessor’s Office.
To delineate and likewise plot the existing general land uses of the city, foot survey
and use of google earth navigation was applied to obtain a clear pattern of development. The
Provincial Physical Framework Development Plan was also utilized to ensure alignment of
plans with the neighboring cities/municipalities and the province in general.
e. Preparation of Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance
f. Identification of Sectoral Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs). The proposed land use
plan has been translated into sectoral programs and projects. These are anchored on the
common vision that was collectively defined by the stakeholders.
6
g. Programming of the Sectoral PPAs. A full-blown LDC meeting and public consultation was
organized with different stakeholders to rank the sectoral PPAs according to the degree to
which they are expected to achieve the sectoral goals and objectives.
The above activities were undertaken in a public participatory approach by involving the
various stakeholders of the city and the staff of the City Government particularly that of the City
Planning & Development Office (CPDO) through a long series of meetings, workshops,
consultations, and communications.
LINKAGES/RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER PLANS AND PROGRAMMES

Philippine Agenda 21 This Guide advocates the principles of the Philippine Agenda 21
(PA21), which is the national agenda for sustainable development. It outlines the integrating
strategies for the country’s overall sustainable development and identifies the intervention areas
(Action Agenda) from the national to the regional level, along with the corresponding
implementing platforms and plans.
PA 21 envisions a better quality of life for all through the development of a just, moral,
creative, spiritual, economically-vibrant, caring, diverse yet cohesive society characterized by
appropriate productivity, participatory and democratic process and living in harmony within the
limits of the carrying capacity of nature and the integrity of creation.
Trece Martires City has been playing a key role in regional and national development.
This is reflected in the Provincial Physical Framework Plan (Cavite Province) for CY 2021-2030
and the Region IV-A: CALABARZON Regional Development Plan 2017-2022. These plans
consider Trece Martires City as one of the identified part of the Cavite’s Second Growth Triangle
or “Cavite Nuevo or New Cavite” with its role as the Industrial, Residential and Commercial hub
of the province, the city’s thrust will be Rapid Urbanization coupled with Institutional
Development, this being the Capital and Seat of the Provincial Government or the Administrative
Center of the Province.
And similar with other urbanizing cities in the province today, Trece Martires City is
currently facing the common problems of in-migration, traffic management, solid and liquid
wastes management, drainage, unemployment, and other social problems.
LAND USE PLANNING PRINCIPLES

Towards preparing the future land use plan of Trece Martires City, the planning team
was guided by the following principles of sustainable development stated as follows:
i. Primacy of developing full human potential because people are at the core of
transforming Trece Martires City into a modern, progressive, livable, environment-friendly
and self-contained city with a balanced mix of various land uses.
ii. Nurturing the cultural, moral and spiritual sensitivity of the different stakeholders is
primordial to harness their inherent strengths and core values.
iii. Nature is our common heritage and thus respecting its limited carrying capacity and
integrity in the development process is to minimize negative impacts of land using
activities on the environment.
iv. Self-determination through stakeholder participation ensures that the people concerned
decide the course of their own development.
7
v. Gender sensitivity is a way of recognizing the important and complementary roles and
the empowerment of both men and women in development.
vi. Peace and order secure the right of all to a peaceful and secure existence.
vii. Social cohesion and harmony through equitable distribution of resources and providing
the various sectors and stakeholders with equal access to development opportunities
and benefits today and in the future.
viii. Empowerment of all concerned sectors and stakeholders can be enhanced through their
participation in decision-making processes and consensus building activities.
ix. Sustainable development is a shared collective responsibility which calls for institutional
structures that are built around the spirit of solidarity, convergence, and partnership
between and among the different stakeholders.
x. Development founded on a stable economy where the benefits of economic progress are
equitably shared by the different stakeholders.
PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS
The plan in order to be effective and viable, inevitably takes the following factors into
considerations:
• Physical features and characteristics of the city such as soil suitability’s for certain
specific land uses in terms of favorable slopes ad elevation, soil types and vegetative
cover.
• Current and projected demographic characteristics of the city particularly its population
increase, density and distribution
• The inherent character of the city, its development constraints and opportunities as
discussed in the various sectoral studies.
• Functional role of the city as a satellite LGU of the province of Cavite, functioning chiefly
as institutional, and second growth corridor of the province
• Relevant government policies and legal instrumentalities on land use planning and
community development such as:
• PD No. 1152 known as the Philippine Environment Code
• PD No. 815 which controls the conversion of agricultural lands
• LOI No. 13 which regulates non-agricultural constructions on agricultural lands
• BP 220 known as the National Building Code
• Climate Change Act of 2009 RA 9729
• Other relevant/pertinent laws and ordinances
ECONOMIC TRENDS
The city has been undergoing rapid development in the past few years. Various
economic activities have been taking place in the city. One of the factors to which this economic
trend can be attributed to is the built and operation of the SM City Trece Martires in the CBD.
This was followed by mushrooming of small-medium scale commercial establishments in
evolving new city nodes of development in Brgy. Hugo Perez, Brgy. Luciano and Brgy.
Inocencio. A reality, however, is that development in rapidly urbanizing cities is usually
accompanied by certain challenges such as traffic congestion, waste management problems,
8
excessive in-migration, unemployment, and other social issues. Rapid urbanization has its
attendant benefits and blight. It is therefore imperative that these benefits be sustained and
further enhanced and the blight be addressed.

HISTORY OF TRECE MARTIRES CITY
Trece Martires City is a component city in the province of Cavite. It was the former
provincial capital, and still serves as the seat of the provincial government of Cavite, where most
of the provincial offices are located. Trece Martires City was named after the Thirteen Martyrs of
Cavite, a group of prominent Caviteños who were convicted of rebellion and executed by the
Spanish colonial government on September 12, 1896 in the old port city of Cavite during the
Philippine Revolution.
Trece Martires was one of the largest and most remote barrios of Cavite. Originally
named Quinta or Quintana, it was part of the municipality of Tanza, Cavite. The land was
basically agricultural subdivided into cattle ranches and sugar farms, with less than 1,000
hectares, at the intersection of the present Tanza–Trece Martires–Indang Road (Tanza–Trece
Martires Road / Trece Martires–Indang Road) and the Naic–Dasmariñas Road (now part of
Governor's Drive).
The city was established on May 24, 1954, under Republic Act No. 981 ("The Charter of
Trece Martires City") as approved by President Ramon Magsaysay. The Republic Act also
transferred the provincial seat of government from Cavite City to Trece Martires. The original
bill, House Bill 1795, was authored by Congressman Jose T. Cajulis (1954–1957) and Senator
Justiniano S. Montano (1949–1956).
Under the city charter, the Governor of Cavite is ex-officio mayor of Trece Martires; then-
Governor Dominador Mangubat was installed as the city's first chief executive. On January 2,
1956, the provincial capitol was formally inaugurated, the same day the newly elected Governor,
Delfin N. Montano (the son of former Senator Justiniano Montano) was sworn into office. He
served in both offices from 1956 to 1971.
On June 22, 1957, the original act was amended by Republic Act 1912 increasing its
territory to , more or less. Consequently, the municipality of Indang and the city of General Trias
had to yield parts of their respective areas to this territorial expansion.
On June 11, 1977, then President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Presidential Decree No.
1163 relocating the capital and seat of government from Trece Martires to the city (then-
municipality) of Imus. Governor Juanito Remulla requested Marcos in September 1979 to
transfer the capital back to the city, although it wasn't approved. As of 2011, the provincial
capital is the city of Imus, but most of the provincial offices are in Trece Martires — making
Trece Martires as a de facto capital of the province, while Imus as a de jure provincial capital.
10
On March 31, 1992, the Republic Act no. 7325 was approved by President Corazon C.
Aquino amending the charter of Trece Martires City, allowing the city to vote their own local

considered Alienable and Disposable in nature. As defined by the PSA, alienable and
disposable land refer to those land of the public domain, which have been the subject of the
present system of classification and declared as unnecessary for forest purposes. It is further
classified into production and Built-up area.
Water Resources
Trece Martires City’s bodies of water cover 234.33 hectares or 6.21% of the total area of
the city. Water resources come from the different rivers and creeks which are in existence in
various barangays. The well-known rivers are Pulonan River, Cañas River, Kay Alamang River
and Pansaysayan River.
Based on the geology of Cavite and of Trece Martires City, most of the ground water is
stored in the pyroclastic rock reservoir and little in the volcano and clastic rock. Potable water
was provided by TMC Water District/Prime Water, subdivision developers and from free-flowing
wells.
An Irrigation tunnel constructed during Spanish period called “Mina” located at Brgy.
Cabezas, also provides water for irrigation for the nearby municipality of Tanza and City of
General Trias.

high average precipitation. Because of the fact that it is not lying along the typhoon belt, Trece
Martires City is usually spared from the destructive effects of storms and typhoons.
EXISTING LAND USE AND LAND USE TRENDS
While the 2011 to 2020 Land Use Plan has served as the catalyst to spur some major
developments of the city thus accomplishing its objectives, some of its land devoted for the
purpose has remain unutilized making them idle and unproductive. Major developments have
been concentrated along major roads particularly the Governor’s Drive and Tanza-Indang Road,
and in areas where greater accessibility and major infrastructure facilities has been established
making other areas unproductive. Table 3 shows that Idle/vacant lands remain at 994.30
hectares or 25.38% of the city’s total land area.

COMPARATIVE/COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE
Trece Martires City is blessed with both God-given and man-made assets. It is a city with
numerous rivers and creeks and a potential source of potable and irrigation water. These river
systems can also be potential for tourism and hydro-power. But these river system is also costly
for road and bridge infrastructure. Philvocs also certified that the city is not prone to disaster with
Earth shaking and Rain induced landslide as its only hazards and also the reason why
residential, commercial and industrial developments are flourishing in the city. Its geographical
location is strategically located at the heart of the province making it accessible to and from its
surrounding cities and municipalities which is one of the factors contributing to its rapid
development. The City’s biggest chunk of its financial resources goes to educational
development, it is therefore home to an educated citizenry.
Trece Martires City has been benefiting from an efficient, driven, and strong local
leadership that has the support of the different strata of the populace. With a strong filial figure, a
strong people, and its God-given and man-made assets, the city is gradually competing among
provincial cities in terms of economic and social development.
DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALS
I. GEOGRAPHIC
1. STRATEGICALLY LOCATED IN THE HEART OF CAVITE
Due to its strategic location, the city is more accessible from all directions of the
province. Trece Martires City is home to various booming industries, such as banking,
warehousing, and finance and retail industries.
2. GOOD ACCESSIBILITY WITH GOOD ROAD CONDITIONS

The city can be reached from all points, through good road conditions through
Governor’s Drive and the Tanza-Indang National Road and through other road
networks.
3. ADMINISTRATIVE CENTER OF CAVITE – CAPITAL AND SEAT OF PROVINCIAL

GOVERNMENT
This being the center and the seat of the provincial government makes it more
advantageous because daily provincial and even national government transactions
take place in the city. Day time population of the city could even rose to a five-digit
mark, thus business also flourished.
II. LAND/WATER RESOURCES

4. 25.38% VACANT/IDLE LANDS
This vacant/idle can be used for agricultural production thus providing food
sufficiency of the residents and a possible source of income. This lot can also be used
for commercial and industrial developments thus increasing the income for the city and
employment of the community.
5. PRESENCE OF NUMEROUS RIVERS AND STREAMS
17
The presence of different rivers and streams can be used not only as a source
of potable water but also for irrigation. Water maybe pumped from these sources and
used to irrigate vegetable and agricultural plantations. Technology may also be
employed thus making these rivers as a source of hydro-power plant.
These rivers can also be used for fresh water fishing and other fresh water
sanctuary. Presently it is also being used for bathing by transforming these rivers into
public resort. Can also be explored its eco-tourism development potential thus
attracting more business ventures.
III. MANPOWER RESOURCES
6. SKILLED AND CAPABLE HUMAN RESOURCES, HIGH (64%) LABOR FORCE AND
HIGH LITERACY RATE OF 99.59%.
7. The abundance of skilled and literate workers has spurred the employment rate and
economic growth of the city. Given the 3 above attributes of the Treceño, investing in
the city is good because highly qualified human resources are available. Thus making
investment profitable and human resources manageable.
8. DIRECT PROPORTIONAL RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN POPULATION AND

CONSUMER
Investing in the city is good because assurance of consumer is highly
probable.
IV. INFRASTRUCTURE
9. 78% CONCRETE AND 7% ASPHALT EXISTING ROAD PAVEMENT NETWORKS
The road networks in the city are generally concrete and part of the city government’s
plan is open new-concrete roads for more accessibility.
10. ON-GOING CONSTRUCTION OF MULTI-LEVEL PARKING AND CENTRAL

TRANSPORT TERMINAL LOCATED AT THE CENTRAL BUSINESS DISTRICT (CBD)
This will greatly improve the circulation in the city and manage the traffic congestion by
not allowing any vehicles to park along the busy streets thus easing the flow of traffic
and creating income for the city.
V. GOVERNANCE
11. YOUNG, DYNAMIC, AND DEVELOPMENT ORIENTED LEADERSHIP, SEAL OF
GOOD FINANCIAL HOUSE KEEPING (2019) AND SEAL OF CHIL-FRIENDLY-CITY
AWARDEE (2016-2020)
These 3 attributes make the city on the road to progress and development.
12. RELATIVELY GOOD PEACE AND ORDER SITUATION, LOW-CRIME RATE, 100%
DRUG-CLEARED CITY, PRESENCE OF CENTRAL COMMAND CENTER,
PRESENCE OF SEVERAL ORGANIZED VOLUNTEER GROUPS AND
STRATEGICALLY DISPERSED OUTPOSTS IN EVERY ENTRANCE AND EXIT
POINTS OF THE CITY
18
These factors contribute a lot in making the city a good haven for investment
and commerce. The reason why several establishments are setting-up businesses in
the city.
VI. EDUCATION
13. PRESENCE OF SEVERAL PRIVATE SCHOOLS (PRE-SCHOOL TO TERTIARY)
OPERATING IN THE CITY
This complements with the public education sector backlog and the reason why
the city has 99.59% literacy rate.
14. ALL OF THE BARANGAYS HAVE PUBLIC ELEMENTARY SCHOOL AND DAY CARE
CENTERS (325% MORE THAN COMPLIANT WITH 1 BARANGAY:1 DAY CARE
CENTER), PRESENCE OF NINE (9) NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOLS, PRESENCE OF
TWO (2) SENIOR HIGH SCHOOLS, PRESENCE OF ONE CITY COLLEGE (CHED
CERTIFIED COMPLIANT AND AUTHORIZED) AND PRESENCE OF ONE CAVITE
STATE UNIVERSITY.
Being one of the priority sectors of the city, and as part of the “School in every
Barangays Program” the city is investing on education as a tool for human resource
development and preparing the future generation.
VII. HEALTH
15. PRESENCE OF LGU HEALTH FACILITIES, OTHER PRIVATE HEALTH FACILITIES
AND PROVINCIAL HEALTH FACILITIES and COMPLEMENTATION OF LOCAL AND
PROVINCIAL HEALTH PERSONNEL
This complementation of facilities and personnel between the city, province and
private hospitals make Treceño a recipient of Sentrong Sigla Awardee. This showed
that the residents are generally healthy individuals.
VIII. ENVIRONMENT
16. LOW SUSCEPTABILITY TO ANY HAZARDS
Trece Martires City is a low-susceptible to disaster, making it an ideal location
for businesses, residential and other developments.
17. 2021 OUTSTANDING PRACTICE ON SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

TECHNOLOGY “SOLID WASTE ON WHEELS”
An environment-friendly city with good Solid Waste Management System
promoting safe and hygienic environment for people and business
18. GAWAD KALASAG AWARDEE IN 2016. 3RD PLACE ON GOVERNMENT

EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (GEMS)
This attribute attests that the city has outstanding contribution in the fields of
disaster Risk Reduction and Management and humanitarian assistance, a strong
feature of the city is taking care of its people.
19
WEAKNESSES: PRIORITY ISSUES AND CONCERNS
As determined, the priority issues and concerns which constraints the development of
the Trece Martires City LGU identified are:
DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS
1. HIGH ANNUAL GROWTH RATE OF 7.87% WITH INDIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH

PROVISION FOR BASIC SERVICES
a. Health services
b. Education services
c. Social Welfare services
d. Cemetery etc.
As population increases our provision for basic social services like those
enumerated above will become insufficient.
2. PRESENCE OF MANY RIVERS WHICH REQUIRE HIGH COST OF BRIDGE
CONSTRUCTION THUS LIMITING CONSTRUCTION OF CIRCUMFERENTIAL
ROAD NETWORKS
While the city government intends to open new roads for better circulation,
this limits our intention because of high construction costs. This may also affect
accessibility for the city in the near future. The provincial and national government
must initiate program to address the issue.
3. LIMITED EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

despite the city government’s effort in creating more job opportunities, the
high growth rate of the city can still outpace this effort. Because, while job
opportunities are created numerically our population is increasing geometrically.
4. INSUFFICIENT PEDESTRIAN OVERPASSES AND ROAD RIGHT OF WAYS

The increasing population needs to have good accessibility and to address
this other than opening more roads and road widening activities, construction of
pedestrian overpasses and right of ways is necessary.
5. LOW TOURISM POTENTIAL

The city isn’t endowed much with both natural and man-made spots for
tourism. That’s why natural tourism sites present in the city are limited, the LGU has
constructed/rehabilitated/improved various tourism related projects like 13 martyr’s
monument, paliguang bayans as well as the on-going construction of the TMC
People’s Park to somehow stir its tourism potential. In addition, there is absence of
various modern establishments, facilities and several shopping centers of
international standards that will draw visitors into the city.
6. LIMITED FINANCIAL RESOURCES WHICH RESORTED THE CITY TO APPLY

FOR LOAN TO FINANCE VARIOUS DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS
The city government have several projects intended to be implemented but
this has not been done due to limited financial capacity and in order to implement
20
project to meet the demand of the time and the growing number of constituents, the
city resorted to loan facility provided by different financial institutions.
7. ABSENCE OF CENTRALIZED COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL ACTIVITY

Industrial activities at present were scattered almost in every barangays of the
city which in a way affects the residential areas. Proper zoning must be done to
confine industrial activities in one area in order not to affect residential areas and for
better environmental protection.
8. ABSENCE OF SANITARY LAND FILL (RA 9003 COMPLIANCE)

The present dumping facility must be upgraded to comply with the provision
of RA 9003 and to effect good environmental protection.
9. LOW LEVEL OF FOOD SUFFICIENCY

Agricultural lands being converted to other uses due to fast phase
development in the city. Moreover, several lands remain idle and unproductive
resulting to low level of food production. Other factor includes; land ownership,
people losing interest to farming, irrigation and funding which resulted to low
agricultural production.
10. E-PAYMENT SYSTEM NOT INSTITUTIONALIZED

Implementation of Electronic Payment System such as online payment
scheme, bank to bank e-payment system etc. is highly recommended to ease the
burden from the tax payers and collectors and to lessen the risk of virus (COVID-19)
transmission. This will also be in preparation for the LGU with its goal of becoming a
SMART City using technology as a tool to advance service delivery to people.
a. ABSENCE OF CENTRAL TRANSPORT TERMINAL AND INADEQUATE PARKING

SPACES
Proliferation of street parking/double parking and scattered public
transportation (tricycle, jeepneys, UV express and busses) terminals adding up to
traffic congestion
b. PRESENCE OF 4,896 INFORMAL SETTLER FAMILIES IN THE CITY

619 ISFs living in danger areas/hazard zones and 4,277 ISFs need tenurial
upgrading.
THE LAND USE PLAN OF TRECE MARTIRES CITY

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Trece Martires City covering the period 2021-
2030 will serve as a local framework for a more detailed land use planning of the city. It is the
guiding development concept on how the land resources shall be put and utilized into the proper
use in the next ten years and onwards. The plan shall serve as guide for putting up investments
in the current and future scenario. Any changes in a particular landscape shall be given high
21
importance particularly on the environment and the natural resources, so that all activities will be
in the context of sustainable development.
Moreover, this Comprehensive Land Use Plan supported by its Zoning Ordinance is itself
a policy to maximize opportunities for creativity, innovation and flexibility in land allocation in
consonance with the goals and objectives of the city which will guide the policy makers to
properly and sustainably manage and utilize land resource for the benefit of the existing and
future generation. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Trece Martires City contains the
proposed General Land Use.
In the context of general land use planning, objectives are determined by the land use
planning principles and standards, environmental policies set forth in the various rules,
regulations and legislations affecting the use of the land. In the urban land use planning, the
objectives are determined by the interplay of economic, socio-cultural and consideration of
public interests. Given the limited land and the constraint imposed by the presence of
development projects, it would be most appropriate for the city to make an efficient and optimum
use of its remaining land resources.

VISION – REALITY GAP ANALYSIS

In this section, the operative words of the city’s vision statement above are assessed
qualitatively to determine where the city stands at present. Interfacing with the Vision Statement
embodying the end-state of the city, the current situation in this section provides information and
appreciation of the required magnitude or extent of work and the expected results. The Vision-
Reality Gap has accorded the Planning Team the opportunity to arrive at the inputs that must be
put in place and the processes that must be observed to bridge the Gap between the vision and
the situation currently obtaining in the city.
Each success indicator is rated by stakeholders per current level of attainment with 10 if
the indicator is completely attained, 5 if half accomplished and o if nothing has yet been done
about the indicator. The Gap is the measure between the end state and the current state.

impact and Disaster Risks.
Heart of Cavite for Transportation, Commerce and Education
28
Transport Management:
Big chunk of the city’s budget on infrastructure development goes to
construction/improvement/rehabilitation of roads and bridges to improve movement of people
and goods in the city. This is evident on the yearly allotment for the said purpose. When we look
at the present condition of the city when it comes to traffic, there is still no centralized transport
terminals in the city, dispersed terminals heighten the congestion on scattered areas thus
encouraging more traffic. This is attributed to the long-time dilemma of absence of existing LGU
Traffic Management Plan.
Commerce:
Business-Friendliness and Competitiveness
Trece Martires City is considered one of the fastest growing cities in Cavite, in terms of
population size and tax revenues. It is the “De Facto” Capital of the province and the official seat
of Provincial Government and as such, serves as the location of the various provincial offices as
well as regional offices of the national government. Its accessibility by sea, air and land transport
to and from the rest of Cavite and nearby metro manila area and other surrounding provinces
make it a strategic location of choice for businesses to establish and grow.
The streamlining of BPLS processes and its implementation improved the quality of
processing business permits and licensing system. Consequently, the number of those
engaging in business is increasing, although these are small businesses engage in retail.
What is lacking in this service area is that there is no local government-supported
administrative body -Local Economic and Investment Promotion Office that is directly
responsible in the promotion of business and industry in the city. There is only a designated
LEIPO which is currently the City Planning and Dev’t Coordinator, adding up to his multifarious
tasks as city Planner.
It is also identified that long processing time in Development Permit and Building Permit
application are becoming a real issue among applicants that needs a sit-down dialogue and
polishing between and among agencies concerned.
Furthermore, despite the city’s prime geographical location, and its accessibility
advantage, there is still inadequate inflow of investments and low number of high-end investors
coming in. There must be an enhancement in the City Investment and Incentive Code to
address this problem.
Over time, the above situationer indicates that the “outward looking part‟ of the city’s
vision statement has gradually taken shape and is being gradually achieved.
Cities and Competitiveness Index (CMCI)
Out of the country’s 112 component cities enrolled in yearly CMCI assessment, Trece
Martires City ranked 101st and 76th in 2018 and 2019 respectively. The ranking is based on the
four (4) competitiveness pillars, namely, Economic Dynamism, Government Efficiency,
Infrastructure and Resiliency. Although the score improves every year, the city targets to at least
make it to the “Top 20 Most Competitive Cities” within 6 years.
Education:
29
Trece Martires City performs very well in providing support to education services. Factors
that contributed to this high performance include: establishment and operation of one (1) local
college (Trece Martires City College), one public state college (Cavite State University Satellite
Campus); eight (8) Public High Schools, two (2) Public Senior High Schools, sixteen (16) Public
Elementary Schools and Forty (40) Day Care Centers; complemented by Forty-one (41) Private
Schools that offer varying level of education that service the whole of the city.
However, performance gaps identified in this service area include: Absence of Public
Library and reading centers and very low enrollment rate in Early Child Care Development
(ECCD) or Day Care ages 3-4 years old. Also, increase in school-age population calls for
additional classrooms, teachers, and facilities.
• Safe and sound and disaster resilient community
Peace and Order
Trece Martires City is relatively peaceful. Efforts are made by the LGU together with the
national agencies and the community to ensure peace and order situation are manageable and
maintained. There is the newly constructed Bahay Pag-asa for Children in Conflict with the Law
(CICL), which is soon to operate as a transformational facility for CICL and Children at Risk of
Trece Martires.
Health Services
The existing capacity of the LGU specifically the CHO in performing the functions
devolved by the DOH is considered poor/needs improvement in general. With only few
personnel to function in the many tasks of the Local health office, and with the limited health
facilities available in the LGU, the delivery of health services in the city is indeed a work in
progress.
With the onset of this COVI-19 pandemic, the current capacity of the city health functions
and services has become extra challenging for the CHO being in the frontline, in fact, it clearly
has become the biggest challenge every LGU ever faced. Providing adequate health services
with limited health providers and meager resources is one big test of leadership nowadays
especially during this devolution.
There is a need to elaborate the organizational structure of the CHO to support its
readiness in accepting the newly devolved functions. The weight of this devolution is too heavy
to carry for the existing local health structure. Adding up to the pressure is the lack of capability
building program for the existing and proposed health personnel. With this in mind, the LGU
shall prioritize the health system of the city, its organizational structure shall be expanded and
shall develop skilled and trained professionals to hone their capacity to deliver services
effectively and efficiently. After all, there’s nothing more important than the health and lives of
the people.
Housing
Generally, the city performed fairly well in this area which is to address shelter and basic
utility needs of the constituents. This is manifested in the city resident’s access to potable water
and electricity. Further, percentage of households with sanitary toilet is also very high. However,
number of squatters continue to proliferate as in-migration of informal settlers increases.
30
However, due to continuous migration in the city, ISFs proliferates too now totaling to more
than four thousand families either living in danger areas or needs tenurial upgrade. Also,
absence of Local Shelter Plan is also a painstaking reality for the LGU. The LSP is supposed to
guide the city to effectively implement local mandates on shelter provision. It will also provide
the city with a grounded perspective of the shelter situation through a purposive analysis of
shelter issues and concerns.
Disaster Risk Reduction Management:
Fortunately, Trece Martires is not a Disaster-prone city. However, due to fast changing
climatic changes, the LGU couldn’t be too complacent. Resiliency against the challenges of
these climatic changes must be continuously improved and increase the city’s adaptive capacity.
A need to formulate a Drainage Masterplan for the city is imperative. Moreover,
strengthening the capacity of the CDRRMO and CENRO will be considered to make sure that
Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster Risk Reduction (CCA-DRR) are mainstreamed in all
development plans of the city.
The current capacity of the TMC CDRRMO to discharge its function is considered good.
Unlike other neighboring cities/municipalities, the geographical location of the city is not
disaster-prone which does not require intensive disaster initiatives for the LGU, however, with
the unpredictability of climate change and the increasing importance of mainstreaming the
Disaster Risk Reduction-Climate Change Adaptation (DRR-CCA) in all LGU planning and
programming, the LGU has to be disaster-prepared for whatever calamities and disasters that
might occur or affect our city.
DRRMO needs to build a database of human resource, equipment, directories, and
location of critical infrastructures and their capacities such as hospitals and evacuation centers.
Appropriation for the capacity development of responders will also be considered. Legislation on
the institutionalization of 911 will be supported and its actual implementation is warranted.
Furthermore, community participation and partnership with the CSOs, POs, NGOs and other
stakeholders shall be forged as advocates and force multiplier.
Environmental Protection:
The existing capacity of Trece Martires City to perform its ENR functions is good in
general. The build-up of LGU ENR competence has been generally credited to the creativity,
daring and innovativeness of our administration, however, some areas still need to progress in
order for the LGU to truly fulfill the mandate of the LGC 1991 and RA No. 9003 (Ecological Solid
Waste Management Act of 2001), RA No. 9275 (Philippine Clean Water Act of 2004), RA No.
8749 (Philippine Clean Air Act of 1999 and the RA No. 9729 (Climate Change Act of 2009)
The TMC LGU acknowledge the environmentally-sound practices as the new norm in
this era. Management of solid waste as any city in Cavite is considered a major environmental
concern of the local government. The Republic Act 9003 stipulates the law on proper ecological
disposal of solid waste, which is doing the least harm to the environment. In support of this, the
city government has enacted Executive Order No. 2019-058 which requires all barangays to
establish waste reduction and recovery schemes and the establishment of Material Recovery
Facility (MRF).
31
Function of the CENRO will all boils down to mainstreaming of climate change into
government policy formulations and establishment of the framework strategy and program on
climate change. This requires the city to plan, finance, and implement climate action/measures
and formulation of Local Climate Change Action Plans (LCCAPs). It also mandates the city
government to consider climate change adaptation, as one our regular functions.
The city government will mobilize and allocate necessary CENRO personnel, resources,
and staff capacitation programs to effectively implement their respective action plans for the
environmental protection.
• Proactive, responsive, just, honest and righteous leadership
Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).
This is currently a work in progress as far as the City Government is concerned. The
SGLG Assessment covers seven (7) governance areas according to the Department of the
Interior and Local Government (DILG) guidelines, namely, 1) Financial Administration, 2)
Disaster Preparedness, 3) Social Protection, 4) Peace and Order, 5) Business-Friendly
Competitiveness, 6) Environmental Management and, 7) Tourism, Culture, and the Arts. The
SGLG applies “ALL-in” system where the city has to pass all seven governance areas in order
for the LGU to become recipient of the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) award.
Result of the 2019 SGLG Assessment revealed that out of these seven (7) areas of
governance, the TMC LGU only managed to pass on three (3) areas specifically on Business-
Friendliness and Competitiveness, Environmental Management and Tourism, Culture, and the
Arts. The City Government aspires to be an SGLG recipient during the plan period.
Inability to approve Annual Budget and Annual Investment Program (AIP) on time/before
year ends
The resource allocation of the city meets the budgetary, statutory and contractual
requirements, and general limitations except the requirement on the approval of the City Annual
Budget. The gap in this sub governance area is identified.
Financial Performance of the LGU
Trece Martires City remains a 4th Class City in terms of Income Classification, being
such, it is largely dependent on the Internal Revenue Allotment. 2020 IRA allotment to LGU is
amounting to P 575,457,671.00 or 52.51% of the total income of the city. This comprised more
than half of the total LGU income.
However, the income of the city sustained its increasing trend as income have
substantially increased for the past 5 years. Despite pandemic in 2020 the LGU still managed to
increase its coffers from P875,227,757.04 to P1,095,993,965.73 or 20.14% increase as
compared to previous year. The increase is primarily brought about by the augmentation of
Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) shares which boomed by Php62,345,676.00 and increase
Local Taxes collection especially in the Real Property Tax (RPT) from P 130,093,897.58 to P
146,852,357.68 primarily due to implementation of Tax Relief Program.
The Real Property Tax is the most important source of revenue collections of the city.
Despite the challenge of pandemic of year 2020, the LGU’s Tax collection drive to collect
delinquent taxes were proven effective
32
Good Financial Housekeeping is one of the strengths of the city in terms of fiscal
management. In fact, the city is an awardee of Good Financial Housekeeping (GFH), a
component of DILG's Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) where an LGU's compliance with
accounting and auditing standards, rules and regulations are assessed.
• Sustainable Environment
Sustainable environment is anchored on three pillars, namely, economic development,
social development, and environmental protection. It presupposes the interconnection between
humans and their physical environment and that it ensures that none of the three pillars are
better off or worse off than the others. Therefore, efforts toward maintaining the environment to
be safe, orderly, and sustainable are consistently pursued within the plan period in order to
achieve the intended outcome of a healthy ecological system and functioning where people live
in harmony with the environment.
In terms of sustainability pillars anchored on economic and social development,
responsive programs/projects particularly in the city’s 12 urban and 1 rural barangays are
outlined in the economic, social, and infrastructure sectors of the plan. For instance, in order to
decongest the Central Business District (CBD) or core urban area, four (4) growth areas are
proposed to be established in barangays in the city, each with designated functions that are
intended to be complementary and mutually reinforcing.
The sustainability pillar on environmental protection within the plan context includes
efforts to fast-track the safe closure of the city’s -hectares old dumpsite in Barangay De Ocampo
and complete within the plan period the its conversion to Central Waste Composting and
Recycling Facility. Aside from ensuring appropriate waste disposal, other environmental
qualifiers given preferential focus are ensuring ambient air quality, securing the city‟s forest
resources, managing ecotourism sites, among others.
• Empowered Citizens
An empowered citizenry means that Treceños are able to assess their needs, contribute
to developing appropriate interventions, and watch or monitor their implementation. This will
lead to better management of public resources and fewer occurrences of corrupt practices.
The local community (NGOs, CSOs, POs and private sectors) is well represented in the
various special bodies in the city. These are either multi-sectoral or sectoral councils or
committees tasked to discuss a broad range of issues and formulate recommendations to the
City Government to consider and operationalize. Citizens‟ participation is considered an integral
part of the LGU‟s decision making processing. However, linkages of the LGU with the NGOs still
needs to strengthen to forge bigger alliances.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

Land Use Goals
In pursuit of becoming a progressive urbanized and industrialized city with a safe and
well-balanced environment, Trece Martires City LGU therefore is oblige to maximize its people’s
participation in local governance and to rekindle the moral values of its constituents.
Cooperation and teamwork are obligatory not just between the city officials but among the public
as a whole in order to achieve its goals. The overall goal of the land use plan of the Trece
Martires City is to:
❖ Optimize the use of its land resources while keeping abreast with changing growth
conditions in the region in order to achieve self-reliance.
❖ Develop its resources in a sustainable manner by utilizing both the natural and capital
resources with focus on the enrichment of areas potential to agricultural productivity and
agri-business; binding ecotourism and improving policies for commerce and trade.
❖ Further the welfare of people and their communities by creating convenient, equitable,
healthful, efficient, and attractive environments for present and future generations.

Major Development Goals

i. Decrease poverty incidence and reduce unemployment rate
Based on 2015 City Level Small Area Poverty Estimates conducted by the PSA, the
poverty incidence of Trece Martires City is 5.3%. To attain the goal of reducing the poverty
incidence, the TMC LGU shall provide measures to generate employment, addressing needs of
both employers and the active labor force. Likewise, development policies shall also focus on
development of micro-scale enterprises and formation of sustainable livelihood programs to help
people provide food on the table. Level of poverty is also a measure of level of living standard or
the ability to access and benefit from basic social welfare services available in the LGU.
Policies, on this matter, should also center on the upliftment of lives and protection of the
vulnerable sector of the community
ii. Ensure adequate and accessible social services

In order to uplift the quality of life of Treceños, comprehensive programs on health,
education, social welfare, housing and peace and order must be provided adequately and
sustainably to them. Although more had already done, yet the growth of provision of basic social
services seemingly couldn’t suffice as the population continuously increases. Effective delivery
of social services especially to the identified poor constituents must be given priority by the plan
to ensure that every constituent has his own share of the pie to cause social advancement and
in the long term, inclusive growth will be achieved and poverty will be eradicated.
The TMC LGU will also focus on promoting a more responsive health system not only
during this pandemic outbreak but also to ensure preparedness to unforeseen health crisis in
the future. Now, more than ever, preparedness is always better than cure. The ultimate goal of
the City Health programs and services is to set-up, implement, and sustain health policies and
programs that would strengthen and promote the well-being, healthy lifestyle, and safety of the
public, while ensuring that all individuals, especially the vulnerable, have fair opportunities for
better health without causing financial hardship through the organization of an integrated
healthcare delivery system.
iii. Promote a livable well-balanced and disaster resilient environment

Protection and conservation of natural resources- harmoniously blending urban and rural
development and maintaining a well-balanced eco-system. Implementation of stringent
environmental controls will be applied on all new developments, particularly in relation to solid
waste management practices, liquid waste discharges and air pollution. The significant element
of this land use plan from the previous one highlights the mainstreaming of climate change and
disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation (DRR-CCA) in all development plans of
the city. There is a need to consider long-term planning on the city’s environment to improve
resiliency of the locality.
iv. Uplift level and extent of social and economic infrastructure services
Inadequate infrastructure has been a major constraint in the realization of the vision of
the city. Inadequate transport facilities such as limited parking spaces and absence of
Central/Integrated Transport Terminal, insufficient alternate route to decongest traffic and the
54
like restrict further growth and development. Social services facilities are also lacking. Thereby,
staking to expanded public capital investments is a crucial approach in achieving sustainable
development. The absence of drainage master plan, problems on waste management, traffic
engineering, school and health facilities, and housing, requires engineering solutions that are
usually capital-intensive in type. However, policy solutions such as land use control, promotion
of community participation, information and education, among others are supporting measures
that are also necessary in accomplishing development targets. It is recognized that as
population increases, the local government is required to strategically manage investments in
the provision of safe, efficient and reliable infrastructures to catalyze the socio-economic
progress of the city.
v. Diversification of Economy
Though agricultural development plays an important role in any locality to achieve

sustainable food production, it is evident that revenue stream from agriculture despite
continuous development interventions in this sector remains sluggish due to external factors.
Therefore, a need to diversify the economy is a must. The favorable location of the city captures
the spillover of urban development opportunities of the surrounding cities and municipalities of
the province, hence allowing the city to emerge as a progressive trading hub. Therefore, there is
a need to intensify the expansion of the secondary and tertiary economic base by assisting the
growth of small and medium scale enterprises and to allocate land for urban uses by converting
idle agricultural lands to other uses.
vi. Promote business-friendly climate

The TMC-LGU aims to be a business-friendly city that creates and promotes an
environment conducive to growth of enterprises in the city. In addition, the LGU recognizes the
emerging importance of its Local Economic Enterprises (LEEs) as a life-support system
especially now more than ever, the city needs to manage well its fiscal resources. Pushing to
becoming a SMART City is also one of priority by starting with streamlining many of local
government’s processes and accelerate the adoption of technology to improve service
efficiency.
vii. Develop institution building measures

Development planning and management are tools that require a strong and effective
institutional mechanism that will assure sustainability and success of local development. Plans
must evolve on the formulation of continuous long-term capacity building especially on areas of
frontline services and development administration. Team building, multi-sectoral consultation
and capability upgrading are traditional strategies that are important to involve in performing
development works.
Moreover, the big challenge for the local government is to have a greater efficiency and
effectiveness in harmonizing existing poverty programs of the local government ensuring that
the targeted clienteles are being served. This requires fixing a database of these households,
and warranting that they are prioritized in terms of all poverty reduction programs of the city
55
government, such as housing, education, health and nutrition, microfinance, skills training,
livelihood and enterprise development, etc.
At the same time, it requires continuously broadening participatory and collaborative
governance mechanisms that will encourage individual citizens, households, organized groups,
local institutions and even neighboring cities/municipalities to partner with the local government
in realizing mutually beneficial goals.
Land Use Objectives
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan of the Trece Martires City is a document that will
provide guidance to policy makers, decision makers and the stakeholders on how to make
decisions on public and private land development proposals, the expenditure of public funds,
availability of tax policy (tax incentives), cooperative efforts and issues of pressing concern,
such as preservations of area for agriculture, impact on environment and the like. Its specific
objectives are the following:
❖ To encourage the most desirable and efficient use of land while enhancing the physical and
economic environment of Trece Martires City;
❖ To direct, harmonize and influence discussions and activities of private and public sectors
relative to the use and management of lands;
❖ To protect and enhance the viability, livability, and affordability of residential neighborhoods,
while integrating multi-family development throughout the city;
❖ To promote desirable patterns of land and prevent wasteful development, and minimize the
cost of public infrastructure and utilities and other social services;
❖ To preserve areas of ecological, aesthetic, historical and cultural significance;
❖ To balance open space and environmental preservation with the community’s development
needs;
❖ To provide an efficient, safe and connective transportation system that is coordinated with
existing needs and with plans for future growth; this system should be economical,
compatible and responsive to adjacent land uses.
Development Objectives
Development objectives are basic tools that guides all planning and strategic activities.
They serve as the basis for creating policy and evaluating performance. The development goals
of the land use plan are the following:
❖ To increase the income of the constituents from way below poverty line to a level where
they can provide their own basic needs;
❖ To strengthen agricultural productions despite rapid urbanization for food security;
❖ To provide adequate local infrastructure such that existing and future development can be
served;
❖ To ensure sustainability of the natural resources for a well-balanced and disaster-resilient
environment;
❖ To foster a positive, interactive relationship with the public, and encourage citizen
involvement in public financial management;
❖ To promote good health for all regardless of their status in life;
❖ To provide quality education for all school-age population;
❖ To provide justice for all and minimize the presence of all sort of crimes if impossible to fully
eradicate it;
56
❖ To provide safe, potable and sustainable water supply to ensure the health and well-being
of the populace;
❖ To provide opportunities for enhancing eco-tourism/agri-tourism areas and other potential
tourist attractions;
❖ To reinforce the city’s image and identity as a community of excellence for residents and
businesses through quality land use management and practices;
❖ To build up a sound financial management system so as to generate adequate financial
resources to meet the development needs of the city.
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT / STRUCTURE PLAN

To further spur sustainable development, a National Framework Plan has been
implemented wherein Four Policy Areas {areas for living (settlement), areas for making a living
(production), areas taken up by infrastructure, and life support systems (protected areas)} were
given due consideration.
For the 2021-2030 development strategy, and for the purpose of establishing the spatial
development concept or the physical growth pattern of the city to underscore its identified
development thrusts, approach to land use planning and management has been crafted using
two mutually reinforcing approaches, both ensuring alignment to the city's development vision as
well as to its economic, social, environmental and other multi-sectoral objectives: Multi-Nodal
and Linear Land Use Pattern will be adopted to anticipate the spillover of urban development
opportunities. (Please refer to Structure map). Taking into account the limited land area of the
urban center, congestion can be experience when commercial activities will be concentrated in
the area. Thereby a need for dispersal of growth across the city is very necessary to avert future
congestion.
In this development strategy, several nodes of development will be developed along the
main thoroughfares aside from the Central Business District located at Barangay San Agustin
where the present public market is located. These nodes will be situated in the following
specific locations namely;
a. Barangay Hugo Perez- located along Governor’s Drive and in the intersection going
to Barangays Cabezas and Lallana where the present 7-11, Puregold, AlfaMart and
various commercial establishments are located. And also, the proposed Socialized
Housing Project of the city will be located at Brgy. Osorio.
b. Barangay Luciano – where the present GEAMH, KPF Hospital, 7-11, Super 8
Grocery Store, Trece Martires City College is located.
c. Barangay Inocencio and Aguado – where the present Southville and AFP/PNP
Housing project is located.
d. Barangay De Ocampo – where the present MV Santiago Medical Center is located.
e. Barangays Cabuco and Aguado – where it is envisioned to become either Trece
Martires City Industrial Zone or any other major industrial zone, thereby it is being
defined as Planned Unit Development area.
f. Brgy. Conchu-Amadeo Rd. where the proposed warehouse will be located.
The identification of the development concept of the Trece Martires City is the
concretization of its vision and objectives set in this Comprehensive Land Use Plan. This
translation reflects and considers the physical, natural, economic, social, cultural and
institutional conditions, assets and features that are present in the locality to which the LGU
wanted to anchor for the realization of its desired vision and goals.
The major objective of this CLUP is to promote a livable and acceptable urban
environment for Trece Martires City. Advancement of an efficient land use pattern optimizes
57
public capital expenditures, which in turn improves private sector productivity. The uncontrolled
growth of built-up areas brings urban blight, contributes to propagation of slum areas, causes
traffic congestion, misspends common economic resources such as time and energy, and even
leads to jeopardizing life and property.
The Land Use Plan needs to produce a structural plan that is robust and flexible enough
to accommodate and adapt to a range of future circumstances and future scenarios. It is a
conceptual framework that has been designed to reflect the existing urban structure and identify
the common land-use patterns that will accommodate a range of population projections, and the
possible resultant housing, employment and service needs. The structure plan was developed
through a process which involved extensive use of existing spatial data and the creation of
several new layers representing key directions. The development of the structure plan was
guided by the natural growth pattern of the city’s 13 barangays.
This Land Use Plan proposes to develop Trece Martires City into a more urbanized city
and a new site for local and foreign investment zone which is distinct, economic viable, socially
responsible and in balance with the environment.
It took on the growth pattern which saw the major road intersection at the CBD that
serves as the spine of development stretching outward the city premise as a central node.
Future outward growth towards the urban fringe is anticipated to prosper with the continuous
emergence of new growth centers along the major highways. The structure plan seeks to
maximize the use of existing infrastructure and facilities an provide more to promotes future
growth in selected locations with capacity for additional growth, well served (or with the potential
to be well served) by appropriate transport corridors (e.g., alternate routes/access road for
industry; public transport for residential development) and other essential services and facilities
such as Information and Communication Technologies.
Targeting growth will also assist in protecting critical areas from inappropriate
development and can maintain and build upon the city's competitive advantages. The Structure
Plan continues the established cascade development to the 13 barangays. In particular, the
Structure Plan features a potential for increased focus on other nodes of development along
Brgy. Hugo Perez intersection, Brgy Inocencio intersection and other development nodes in the
city.
The proposed land use presents distribution of the land resources of the city, aims to
translate the sectoral requirements and concept plan into physical development. Although
planning standards were used during the plan preparation, this may prove to be inconsistent
with time, thus, the plan may be modified to suit the varied economic condition, physical and
financial resources and capabilities of the local government. However, revision shall be made
with proper approval of the concerned government agency/authority.

Mixed Use Land Development Strategy based on Compatibility of Adjacent Uses and
Strict Observance of Environmental Laws shall also be the guiding strategy of land use
development in the city. Being part of the Cavite’s Second Growth Corridor or “Cavite Nuevo
or New Cavite” with it’s role as the Industrial, Residential and Commercial hub of the province,
the city’s thrusts will be Rapid Urbanization coupled with Institutional Development, this being
the Capital and Seat of the Provincial Government or the Administrative Center of the Province.
The concept of sustainable development will also be integrated by also indulging in Agri-tourism
development. Compatibility of adjoining land uses on a project evaluation and environmental
impact of the projects will be the main criteria in land utilization. Compatibility, functionality and
observance of easements and buffer must be employed in determining construction erection of
subdivision projects, industrial estate’s structure and building. Planting strips, well-trimmed park
like lawns, off the street parking and other environmentally sound architectural developments
shall be required. Pollution control devices such as smokestack, treatment ponds, exhaust or
dumping sites shall be provided` and shall conform to the requirements of appropriate agencies.
Planned unit development can also allowed provided project-specific guidelines standards are
met (pls. refer to the Proposed Land Use Map of Trece Martires City)
In this land use concept, all areas within 1000 meters in depth along Governor’s Drive
stretching from Brgy. Hugo Perez in the East to Barangay Cabuco in the West (except for areas
covered by Planned Unit Development (PUD) in Brgy. Cabuco) and all areas with 1000 meters
in depth from the centerline along Tanza – Indang Road stretching from Brgy.De Ocampo in the
North to Brgy. Inocencio in the South will be delineated as Areas for Urban Development. All
developments that will be allowed in these areas are Commercial-Residential – Institutional -
Light Industrial Mix.
Furthermore, the whole area of Cityland in Brgy De Ocampo will also be zoned as Urban
Development Zone (UDZ). However, the small portion occupied by the existing agro-industrial
business in the area will be retained as agro-industrial zone.
The whole area of Conchu in the western side of the Conchu-Pangil Road will be zoned
as General Commercial Zone as well as the Eastern part.
For better circulation, accessibility and to decongest traffic to and from the city, several
roads will be opened and constructed. Specifically connecting Barangay Inocencio to Conchu
and Cabezas and from Hugo Perez passing thru Osorio, Gregorio and De Ocampo. Similarly,
construction of the Central Transport Terminal and Multi-Level parking at the Central Business
District will be prioritized.

❖ Cultivate the greatest asset: People’s Empowerment. This strategy recognizes that the
people are in fact the greatest asset of the city. That the ultimate goal of the plan is to create
a society in which all the basic needs are met and each individual is valued and given the
opportunity to contribute and to self-actualize. All sort of development must be focused on
providing a nurturing environment that teaches, promotes and reinforces behaviors and skills
needed to empower the people to become creative and productive. The plan must ensure
that the society evolves into one in which no one is left behind, where all are afforded equal
opportunity to access social services, and all Treceños, including the most vulnerable are
cared for and treated with dignity and respect.
❖ Deliver Good Governance and Service Excellence. Good governance and excellent services
are crucial to the achievement of the development thrusts. In fact, a governance structure
determines how we live; it affects our healthcare, jobs and determines whether we are safe
or not. The success of achieving our development thrust, from simply farming to operation of
large businesses - all are dependent on good governance and the delivery of excellent
public services, to some extent. As such, this strategy is on building the public’s trust in
government structures. This will be done through the promotion of strong and independent
public institutions that benefit from a professional civil service that meets our development
needs and inculcating a culture in which the people respect authority and the rule of law.
Good governance promotes strong public institutions, people who respect authority and the
rule of law and growth of businesses which in the long run ensure a high quality of life for all
citizens and the business expansions.
❖ Provide Quality Infrastructure and Social Services. A key feature of a developed city is
quality infrastructure and social services. High-quality infrastructure unlocks economic
potential, ensures an equitable distribution of growth and opportunities throughout the
locality and creates networks that bind
the people together. It also boosts productivity and competitiveness, allowing
businesses to grow and prosper, create employment and attract investment. Efficient and
climate resilient infrastructure enables global trade, powers businesses, connects workers to
their jobs, creates new opportunities for struggling communities, and reduces the
vulnerability of an unpredictable natural environment. Holistically, investment in
infrastructure, with emphasis on transportation and public utilities built to internationally
accepted standards, has the potential to impact positively on the level of development and
ultimately the well-being of the people.
❖ Placing the Environment at the Center of Development. As the Trece Martires City continues
on a sustainable development path with the population continuing to grow, there will be
increasing demands placed on the limited natural resources of the city. As such, limited land
resources must be properly and wisely use.
63
DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS
Primary Development Thrust
Rapid Urbanization
Commercial and Industrial Development. Anticipating the spillover of urban development
opportunities, the LGU must ensure that convenient and concentrated commercial development
is provided to support both the local and regional market. Protection of commercial areas must
be supported to encourage continued reinvestment and redevelopment. Appropriate
infrastructure which can support growth for the expansion of commercial opportunities in existing
commercial corridors or nodes must be given priority to promote opportunities for neighborhood
commercial and industrial activities. Peace and order must be maintained to further attract
investors.
Combined Development Options

Eco-Tourism Development.
Currently, Trece Martires City has low tourism establishments and activities, however, it
is endowed with various river networks that has tourism potentials as Paliguang Bayans once
fully developed for the purpose. This will somehow stir tourism development in the city which will
eventually yield revenue stream for the city.
Agri-Tourism Development.
Agricultural activities in the city gradually deteriorates as lands are continuously being
developed and converted to other uses. Yet it cannot be denied that due to our geographic
location advantage, being at the heart of the province, and with the booming of modern farming
and gardening techniques, agri-tourism development is one of the options identified to address
economic and physical shocks and stresses brought by pandemic. This strategy explores the
modern farming methods such as hydroponics and development of demo farms that will be
developed as Samgyup farms and resto.
DEVELOPMENT PROPOSALS
The proposed land use presents national distribution of the land resources of the city,
aims to translate the sectoral requirements and concept plan into physical development.
Although planning standards were used during the plan preparation, this may prove to be
inconsistent with time, thus, the plan maybe modified to suit the varied economic condition,
physical and financial resources and capabilities of the local government. However, revision
shall be made with proper approval of the concerned government agency/authority.
General Land Use Plan

The General Land Use Plan for the city features an overall increase in built-up area: a
net decrease in agricultural land and other idle private land and retention of water bodies.
Built-up Area
The total built-up areas including the urban core is projected to increase to a total of
1,540.71 hectares by year 2030.These include the land requirement for residential, commercial,
industrial, institutional, special uses and open spaces.
The Urban Core or the Central Business District Commercial activities being prominent
along the major thoroughfares will be expand for another 500 meters away from the major
64
national highway totaling to 1000 meters both sides of the road, considered as General
Commercial Zone.
Industrial Areas will be located in the identified barangays of Cabezas, Cabuco and part
of Hugo Perez. Likewise, industrial zone for barangay Conchu and Brgy. Osorio will be further
developed from the present location.
Ares for institutional purposes will occupy and coexist with the residential and
commercial zones. Other institutional facilities like school and other government facilities will
need an additional area of 5.53 hectares. These will be allocated in all barangays.
Open Spaces serving as playground in every barangay will be allocated an additional of
5.33 hectares.
The proposed Central Eco Waste Recycling Facility which is also classified as special
use/open space will have a requirement of 5.39 hectares. The site is located at the city’s old
dumpsite in Brgy. De Ocampo.
Agricultural Land. The total prime agricultural land and idle/private land will register a net
decrease from the existing 1,664 hectares to only 660.94 hectares of the total land area and the
agro-industrial shall have an additional need of 5 hectares. This will primarily be brought about
by the encroachment of idle agricultural land into built-up areas in the city.
Water Bodies. All water bodies approximate total of 234.33 hectares will be preserved
and kept intact.
