1.0 HISTORY OF CABUYAO

1.1 From Tabuko to Cabuyao
The name Cabuyao originated from the word Kabuyaw, a citrus tree growing abundantly in the area
which is used then by the natives in washing hair and later evolved as the town’s location reference.
Adopted by Franciscan friars and Spanish officials, it replaces the town’s indigenous name of
“Tabuko”.
“Tabuko” or “Hangganang Ilog” which means boundary in the native tongue is one of the biggest
villages established in the western portion of the lake of Ba-i known today as Laguna de Bay. The
Lake of Bai was the exchanging point of commerce and trade between the natives and foreign
traders which clued among others, Chinese, Arabs and other Malay race. These foreign traders
established their respective villages around the lake of Ba-i, of which Tabuko was one of the most
prominent. Tabuko has no definite boundary except for natural landmarks such as the mountain,
hills and lake.
Under the Spanish colonization, Tabuko and the barangays of Malabanan (Biñan City), Sta. Rosa de
Lima (City of Santa Rosa), and Calamba (Calamba City) were declared as one “encomienda” or town
on 16 January 1571 under the leadership of Gaspar Ramirez, with Tabuko as the center of
government.
Tabuko, which was was later named as “Cabuyao” by Franciscan friars and Spanish officials, has
Tunasan as its boundary at the north, Ba’i at the south, Sungay at the west and Lake Ba-i at the east.
Towards the end of the 17th century, as the barangays became haciendas of the friars, the
barangays were separated from Cabuyao. The first to be separated was barangay Calamba as it
became hacienda de San Juan Bautista. In 1689, barangay Malabanan was separated and became
the town of Biñan, and was followed by barangay Sta. Rosa de Lima.
1.2 Cabuyao and Its Role in Philippine Revolution
In 1896, with the uprising of revolution against Spanish colonization, the people of Cabuyao joined
the national movement towards independence. As the news spread over Cabuyao that the province
of Cavite revolted against the Spanish government and anticipating the disorder it will bring to the
community, Lt. Isabelo Virtucio readily organized a volunteer group that will fight against the Spanish
government. He coordinated with the different leaders of the revolutionary groups and joined the
forces of Gen. Paciano Rizal, the brother of our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal. The group adopted
guerilla warfare in fighting the Spaniards such as ambush, surprise attack and putting up traps on the
roads used by the enemy. The revolutionaries fought the Spanish government until the latter
surrendered in 1898 and the Philippine independence was declared.

CABUYAO, LAGUNA
A year after its emancipation from the Spaniards on 1898, the town was then placed under
American regime and the first town mayor was appointed.
Resistance to colonization under Americans was very high in Cabuyao as the guerillas did not readily
accept the Americans. Capt. Sotero Batallones organized a company of soldiers and fought the
Americans who tried to conquer the town of Cabuyao. Unfortunately due to inferior equipment and
lack of resources, the Filipino soldiers lose many battles and retreated on the mountain called Kay
Sili (which is Barangay Casile today) at the western portion of the town.
With the strong resistance, peace and order became a problem in the early years of American
occupation of Cabuyao. During the Japanese occupation, Cabuyao people joined several guerilla
movements and later on fought with the Japanese during World War II towards liberation in 1945.
1.3 Industrialization to Cityhood
Beginning the late 1940’s, agriculture and fisheries were the major economic activities of Cabuyao.
Main crops were rice, garlic and watermelon while duck-raising prevails at the lakeshore areas.
Establishment of manufacturing industries began during the 1970s from which industrialization
started off. The town’s proximity to the National Capital Region attracted investments more
resulting to robust economic development and social change.
As Cabuyao progress rapidly, the people and its local leaders worked together towards cityhood. On
July 29, 2010, Hon. Isidro L. Hemedes, Jr. requested the Sangguniang Bayan for a Municipal
Resolution on Cabuyao Cityhood. The application for cityhood was supported by the Sangguniang
Bayan through Municipal Resolution 018-2010 issued on February 26, 2010. This was later filed,
endorsed and sponsored in Congress by Hon. Marc SB. Chipeco as House Bill 3811 (substituted later
by HB 4259) also known as the “Conversion of Municipality of Cabuyao into a Component City” on
February 22, 2011. Senator Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos sponsored the bill in the Senate with co-
sponsorship of Sen. Teofisto “TG” Guingona.
Republic Act No. 10163 which was signed into law by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III on May
16, 2012, converted the town of Cabuyao into a Component City, after the ratification through a
plebiscite held on August 4, 2012.
The City of Cabuyao is the 142nd city in the Philippines and the fifth (5th) component city in Laguna
along with the cities of San Pablo, Calamba, Santa Rosa, and Biñan.

2000 to 2010), the projected population of the City will reach 962,039 by 2026. During this year,
Barangay Mamatid will be the most populated barangay with a population of 194,444 while
Barangay Pittland will be the least populated barangay with 6,191. Assuming this growth rate,
Cabuyao City’s population is expected to double in 8 years (2018), taking 2010 census as the baseline
year.
On the other hand for purposes of comparison, below is the population projections that assumed
the province’s growth rate of 3.11 percent. The earlier growth rate (8.83 percent) is relatively on the
extreme end due mainly to massive relocation/resettlement programs of the national government
during that period. Thus it’s not reflective of the current rate of growth in the city. With the assumed
growth rate that of the province; the projected population of the City will reach 405,534 by 2026.
Barangay Mamatid will still be the most populated barangay with a population of 81,965 while
Barangay Pittland is projected to have the lowest population with 2,840. Assuming this growth rate,
Cabuyao City’s population is expected to double in 23 years (2033), considering the 2010 census
count as the baseline year.

4.2 Geology and Soil Type
Based on the Hydrologic Atlas of Laguna de Bay 2012 jointly developed by the Laguna Lake
Development Authority (LLDA) and Word Wide Fund-Philippines, the Bureau of Soils and Water
Management (BSWM) indicated four textural grades or soil types within Cabuyao City.
Loam Type can be found in the upland and southwestern portion of the city. This soil type also
covers the soils of the plains where urban barangays and agricultural areas are concentrated.
Agricultural areas are also dominated by the Sandy Loam Type. The Loam and Sandy Loam types are
also located along riverbanks, shorelines and on the westernmost tip of the city, near the Tagaytay-
Cabuyao boundary. On the other hand, Clay Loam covers the western and slightly elevated portion
of the city while Clay Type can be found at the eastern part of the city, proximate to the shores of
Laguna de Bay. These soil types are said to be generally suitable for agricultural use, specifically for
paddy rice, tree crops and diversified crops.

4.3 Hydrology
The hydrologic features of Cabuyao comprise 25% of the Santa Rosa Watershed, one of the 24 river
basins draining to the Laguna de Bay. The streams draining the Santa Rosa river basin can be
grouped into three sets, all of which exhibit a sub-parallel pattern. The northern set originates from
the plateau section of the basin, deeply bisecting the slopes and extending towards the east in the
area of Sta. Rosa and Biñan. The central and southern set originates from the base of the dissected
slopes and drains to certain sections of Sta. Rosa City and the City of Cabuyao.
Cabuyao City’s major tributaries draining directly to Laguna Lake include the Cabuyao River,
Salanglangka-Tiwaytiway River, Ilog Romana and the Baclaran-Mamatid River. On the other hand,
Diezmo River flows to San Cristobal River of the City of Calamba.
For the localities within the Laguna Lake Basins, the averages static water level is about 12.57 meters
below ground surfaces (mbgs) while the average specific capacity is approximately 0.89 liters per
second per meter (lps/m).

throughout the year with an annual mean of 81%. The relative humidity is measured at about 75%
from March to May and above 80% the rest of the year. The average annual mean temperature is
27.40C with highest being recorded in May at more than 290C and lowest in January at
approximately 250C.
4.5 Air Quality
As there are no toxic or hazardous emissions within the territorial jurisdiction of the city, Cabuyao
meets the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
4.6 Noise Environment
The present noise condition in the city still meets the Class A Standard considering that the
settlements are moderately growing.
4.7 Vulnerability to Geohazards
The City of Cabuyao, due to its geographic location, is prone to various types of hazards including
flooding, typhoon, earthquake, and landslides. Flood–prone areas in the City include some parts of
the Poblacion, lower portion of Sala, coastal barangays of Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod, Baclaran,
portion of Mamatid and areas along rivers especially in Barangay Banlic along the San Cristobal River
due to poor drainage system and heavy siltation.
Cabuyao also has eroded areas, which are in need of protection from further deterioration. These
areas are located in Barangay Bigaa, Casile and Banlic. Specifically, portions of Barangay Diezmo and
San Isidro are prone to rain-induced landslides. Certain portions of Barangay Casile have
susceptibility to earthquake-induced landslides due to an active fault line in the barangay.

allocated for poultry, livestock and cattle farms
• Institutional Land Use. Institutional land uses in Cabuyao accounts for approximately 20.54
hectares or 0.47 % of the total land area. This includes lands allocated for government
offices, schools, health centers, and different civic and religious centers.
5.1.3 Protected Areas
Open spaces and protected areas are also known as life support systems. They are not built over
and are best left in their current condition to maximize their function. Moreover, these areas
can serve as sources of food and clean air and water. Prime agricultural lands and water bodies
constitute the protected areas of Cabuyao.
• Prime Agricultural Lands/Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ). The
prime agricultural area of the City is comprised of the SAFDZ found in Barangay Marinig and
Gulod. This land use take up approximately 234.45 hectares or 5.41 % of the total land area.
SAFDZ are the network of protected areas for agricultural and agro-industrial development
to ensure that lands are efficiently and sustainably utilized for food and non-food production
and agro-industrialization. This remaining land area has suffered significant reduction from
the original 540 hectares (per records of Agricultural Land Management and Evaluation
Division of the Department of Agriculture) initially identified as SAFDZ in Cabuyao due to
pressures of ongoing industrial development.
The SAFDZ shall have an integrated development plan consisting of production, processing,
investment, marketing, human resources and environmental protection components.
• Water Bodies. Cabuyao City’s major tributaries draining directly to Laguna Lake include the
Cabuyao River, Salanglangka-Tiwaytiway River, Ilog Romana and the Baclaran-Mamatid
River. On the other hand, Diezmo River flows to San Cristobal River of the City of Calamba.
The hydrologic features of Cabuyao comprise 25% of the Santa Rosa Watershed, one of the
24 river basins draining to the Laguna de Bay. The streams draining the Santa Rosa river
basin can be grouped into three sets, all of which exhibit a sub-parallel pattern. The
northern set originates from the plateau section of the basin, deeply bisecting the slopes
and extending towards the east in the area of Sta. Rosa and Biñan. The central and southern
set originates from the base of the dissected slopes and drains to certain sections of Sta.
Rosa City and the City of Cabuyao.

5.1.4 Infrastructure Support Areas
Areas in the City taken up by infrastructure to connect and support the settlement and production
areas are known as infrastructure support areas. In Cabuyao, this policy area is made-up of its
existing road network, institutional facilities, and social service facilities.
• Roads. The existing road network of the City covers 240.51 hectares or 1.11% of the total
land area. The total road length is 282.142 kilometers, with the following breakdown: 10.122
kilometers or 3.59 % account for national roads; 25.95 kilometers or 9.20 % for provincial
roads; 12.602 kilometers or 4.47 % for municipal roads; and 233.468 kilometers or 82.75 %
for barangay roads. The combined length of the road network of the City is 77.44 kilometers.
This comprises of 5.98 kilometers of National Road, 38.2 kilometers of Provincial Road, 19.18
kilometers of Municipal Roads, and 14.08 kilometers of Barangay Roads. Almost all of the
roads are concrete. The National Road, which traverses the City starts from the Cabuyao-Sta.
Rosa boundary to the Cabuyao-Calamba boundary. This road serves as an alternative to the
South Luzon Expressway to connect the City to the rest of Laguna. The existing road system
accounts 6.98% of the total land area occupying 302.09 hectares.
• Other Infrastructure Support Utilities. Other infrastructure support utilities in the City refer
to cell sites, cemeteries, rail ways and other infrastructure. The cemeteries account 0.22% of
the total land area of the City accounting 9.66 hectares.
5.2 Land Use Trends
The 2015 general land use distribution of the City is based on the records of the City Assessor’s
Office, and City Planning and Development Office as verified by the technical working group (TWG)
for the updating of this comprehensive land use plan. Through a public consultation held for the
updating of the CLUP, the following land use shifts in the City in the last 10 years have been
identified:
• The total land area of the City is now 4,330 hectares from the 4,291.56 hectares indicated in
the old CLUP (2000-2010). The correction in the total land area of the City is based on
certification issued by the Land Management Bureau (LMB) in
September 2010 for Cabuyao’s cityhood. LMB noted that their data is based on 1979
Cadastral Land Survey. The land area of barangay Casile was adjusted to reflect the
additional 38.43 hectares.
• Land conversion has been observed in the City directed towards residential expansion as
evidenced by the following:
o Though classified under the 2000-2010 CLUP that Barangay Pittland is an industrial
area, the demand for residential areas encroached the barangay as some industrial
areas were utilized for residential expansion.
o In Barangay Marinig, agriculture areas were converted for residential use.
37 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
o Lakeshore Barangays of Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod and Balaran shifted

from agricultural to residential areas.
This conversion to residential use has been triggered by the increase in number of
subdivisions in the City. As indicated in the Local Shelter Plan, from 1994 to 2009, 73
subdivisions have been developed in Cabuyao; most of which are socialized and economic
housing units. After year 2009, only 11 subdivisions covering 114.43 hectares were
developed and approved by the local government. Most of these are high-end and
economic housing subdivisions.
As of end of 2015, the subdivisions in the City are now at 129 and cover more than 925
hectares.
• The Port Redevelopment Zone in Barangay Bigaa did not materialize as no port was
constructed in the area.
• Barangays Uno, Dos and Tres became the commercial center of the City. This shift
was in accordance with its classification as the Downtown Zone under the 2000-2010
CLUP. Commercial development was also noted in Banlic, San Isidro, Pulo,
Balaybalay.
• Resort developments were observed in lakeshore barangays under leasehold

agreement with the Laguna Lake Development Authority.
• Industrial development concentrated in Barangays Pittland, Diezmo and Niugan.

The City Government of Cabuyao reconstituted the City Solid Waste Management Board (CSWMB)
through Executive Order No. 18, Series of 2011. The CSWMB convenes monthly to discuss issues,
problems and concerns on solid waste management. In addition, a multi-sectoral Barangay Solid
Waste Management Committee was created in each of the 18 barangays. The City Environment and
Natural Resources Office (City ENRO) is designated as the CSWMB secretariat.
The city’s solid waste management scheme is detailed in a 10-year City Solid Waste Management
Plan (2016-2025). It envisions Cabuyao to have a proactive community-based solid waste
management system that is conducive to the challenges of sustainable, socio-economic and
environmental development. Specifically, the plan aims to:
1. Identify problems, issues and concerns in solid waste management to establish basis in
deciding appropriate strategies in addressing valid concerns;
2. Determine the character of waste generated for strategic planning and community
development;
53 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
3. Develop the framework of implementation among the barangays and provide appropriate
institutional arrangements and support;
4. Institutionalize and mobilize concerned sectors for the sustainable implementation of solid
waste management in the City;
5. Develop entrepreneurial solutions for sustainable solid waste management economics;
6. Ensure an extensive and proactive environmental education on solid waste management

and related environmental concerns through various media;
7. Ensure an effective waste collection and disposal services to secure public health and safety
for the establishment of an ecologically balanced community; and
8. Sustain the implementation of solid waste management programs and projects in strict
compliance with the key provisions of R.A. 9003.
A mixed waste hauling operation is implemented in the City. The R. C. Bella Waste Management and
Disposal Services is in charge of the daily garbage collection in the different barangays of the City.
Institutional wastes coming from educational and religious organizations are included in the
municipal wastes as well as those coming from commercial establishments.
Industries, shopping malls and private subdivisions have collection arrangements with different
garbage hauling companies. Hospital wastes are under contract with DENR-registered hazardous
waste treatment and recycling facilities.

The collected mixed municipal wastes are hauled directly to the disposal site since the City
Government does not have transfer station facility.
Early on 2013, Barangay Mamatid has established a temporary Material Recovery Facility in
compliance to RA 9003 and to effectively manage their solid wastes. Its operation was discontinued
due to various problems commonly encountered on pioneering waste disposal facilities. The area
was then finally closed and rehabilitated on the latter part of the year.
55 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
On the other hand, Barangay Gulod established and operates its material recovery facility (MRF)
with necessary components to cater activities of receiving, further sorting, composting, storage and
recovery of recyclable and re-usable materials. The facility received composting equipment from
Villar SIPAG, a non-government organization, in recognition of the Barangay’s commitment and
initiatives in the implementation of its Solid Waste Management (SWM) program.
• Final Disposal
The mixed solid wastes collected are directly hauled to a sanitary landfill located in Barangay
Bubuyan, Calamba City. The 5.7-hectare facility is owned by Suri Waste Management and
Disposal Services (SWMDS) and operating under ECC No. ECC-LLDA-2008-001-9200. It is
manned by eleven (11) office staff and fifty (50) accredited waste pickers.
The category 2-SLF has a total capacity of seventy (70) metric tons per day and
accommodates household, market, agricultural, commercial and mixed municipal solid
wastes.
Waste pickers at the disposal facility separate recyclables from the mixed municipal wastes
for recovery. They are temporarily stored at the MRF and later sold to accredited buyers and
haulers. Residuals then will be covered by soil and compacted daily. Regular disinfection
follows. Likewise, daily record of weight, types and sources of wastes are accomplished.
Committed to provide social development programs to the community, SWMDS residents of

Barangay Bubuyan as workers for the operation and maintenance of the SLF. They are
provided with protective equipment and adequate trainings on waste handling and
management. Gift-giving and tree planting are among the sustainable projects SWMDS
undertake in the community.
• Special and Healthcare Wastes
Healthcare and hazardous wastes generated in private hospitals are collected and hauled by
DENR-accredited waste treaters and recyclers. Medical, dental and diagnostic clinics as well
as lying-ins operating within the City and generating small amount of these wastes have
agreements with nearby hospitals with established healthcare waste collection and disposal
system. The City Hospital including City Health Units 1 and 2 and all barangay health centers
are likewise serviced by registered hazardous waste treater and hauler.
Special wastes from the industry and large commercial establishments are collected and
disposed off through DENR-registered private haulers while those coming from individual
households and small scale businesses go as municipal wastes which are then collected and
sorted at the Sanitary Landfill’s MRF prior to final disposal.

7.0 ECONOMIC STRUCTURE

7.1 Primary Sector
7.1.1 Agriculture and Fishery
Of the total land area of the City, 674.2 hectares are devoted to rice production and 318 hectares
are devoted to coffee and pineapple in year 2015. It is interesting to note that during the dry season,
areas planted with rice are diversified with other crops like squash, watermelon, garlic and upo.
Other agricultural areas are allocated for poultry, livestock and cattle farms.
Meanwhile, there are 456 farmers and 443 fishermen in the City of Cabuyao. These farmers plant
palay, coffee, fruit-bearing trees, vegetables and other high value commercial crops (HVCC).
Agricultural production particularly palay have decreased due to land conversion of agricultural
lands to residential/commercial use.
The major crop yield in the city are the following: squash, 15 metric tons/ha.; upo, 10 metric
tons/ha.; ampalaya, 10 metric tons per ha.; palay, 4.5 metric tons/ha. and garlic, 4 metric tons/ha.
The table below, meanwhile, shows the number of farmers in each barangay and rice area.

Of the City’s 18 barangays, 14 are agricultural barangays. Said barangays are engaged in diverse
farming activities with rice as the major crop grown particularly in the lowland area. Squash,
watermelon and other vegetable crops are used in rotation with rice. The upland section is planted
mainly with coconut and a variety of fruit-bearing trees like pineapple and rambutan.
Table 7.2: Crop Production in the City, 2015

Rice 674.2 3,357.5
Squash 128 1,750
Corn 65 78.7
Coffee 31 20.5
Pechay 30 82.5
There are 674.2 hectares of the agricultural land devoted to rice production. Other crops grown
include pineapple, coconut and coffee. Other agricultural areas are allocated for poultry, livestock,
and cattle farms. The remaining land is utilized for other crops and other agriculture-related
activities. It is interesting to note that during the dry season, areas planted with rice are diversified
with other crops like squash, watermelon, garlic and upo.
Agricultural production, particularly palay, pineapple and coffee have decreased due to land
conversion.
7.1.2 Livestock and Poultry
In 2015, the over-all production of livestock and poultry in the city reached 133,772 heads. Broiler
production registered the biggest share with total heads at 122,800 followed by swine at 5,567, and
ducks at 2,628. This is followed by cattle, goats and native chicken. Livestock and poultry production
partly sustain the demands of the growing population in Cabuyao and also serves as other sources of
income for the farmers and fisherfolks.
Occurrence of foot and mount disease (FMD) diseases that affected four-legged and other large
animals resulted to decrease in livestock and poultry production.

There is a rise in swine and poultry raising activities among low income farmers, fisherfolks and
backyard animal raisers. However, due to limited forage areas cattle and carabao raising suffers a
decline. Others adopt integrated farming for optimal farm resources utilization along with the
benefits from various government support programs.
7.1.3 Fishery
Around 0.6012 hectare is devoted for fishpond production generating a total volume of catch of 96
tons of fish.
LGU support programs increase fish catch significantly while aquaculture production is down by 85%
from 2010 (653 tons) to 2015 (96 tons) as a result of substantial damage brought about by typhoons
and polluted lake.
Illegal fishing is considered as one of the major factors that depleted the lake resources. Pollution
due to residential and industrial wastes also contributed to the decreasing production yield. At
present, the production of the fishing industry can supply the demands of the population. Additional
supply comes from the neighboring provinces, such as Batangas. Inadequate agricultural support
facilities contribute also to the present condition.

7.2 Secondary and Tertiary Sector
As opposed to the dwindling agricultural sector, the secondary and tertiary sectors are experiencing
growth. The components of the secondary sector are manufacturing and construction while the
tertiary sector are services like financial institutions, wholesale and retail trade, transportation and
communications, and other services like call centers and BPOs. These sectors contribute a
substantial income to the City.
The City Council passed a resolution for the establishment of Cabuyao Investment and Development
Authority or CIDA to facilitate economic growth and in return generate additional employment and
revenues for the City, employment and better standard of living for Cabuyeños.
Cabuyao is an industrialized City. As of 2015, it has a total of 4,683 registered business

establishments, 897 (19%) of it are newly established business in the same year. The combined gross
receipts of these businesses in 2015 alone amounts to Php 126.11 billion. The registered business
establishments are combination of manufacturing companies, commercial establishments and the
like. The rapid industrialization and increase in commercial activities in the cIty significantly accounts
to the internally generated income of the City Government, making it less dependent on Internal
Revenue Allotment of the National Government.

At present, there are many existing recreational facilities in the City as listed below. Aside from
these recreational facilities, there are also some tourist destinations like the Light Industry and
Science Park I in Barangay Diezmo, which is favorite destination of educational trips.
List of Tourist Destinations

1. Poor Clare’s Monastery
2. St. Policarp’s Parish Church
3. St. Vincent Ferrer Diocesan Shrine and Parish
4. Sta. Elena Golf Course and Country Club
5. Light Industry and Science Park
Barangay Casile, located at the western tip of the City, is considered to be a potential tourist area
because of its proximity to the Palace in the Sky in Tagaytay City. It is also the place where the noted
Twin Mansion of the Marcoses is located. However, because of the pending case between the Yulos
and the farmers, the City cannot introduce development projects in the place. Another concern of
the municipality is the utilization of the Twin Mansion since it is under the control of the Department
of Tourism.

7.4 Labor and Employment
The share of Cabuyao’s employment to Laguna increased in all sectors. It may be noted the increase
in the city’s share of employment in the manufacturing sector coincided with the uptrend in the
sector.
Although the employment in industries located in Cabuyao increased in the past years, it must be
noted that most of the workers employed are non-residents of the city. This is mainly due to the lack
of skills required by the industries located in the town. There is a need therefore, for programs to
upgrade/enhance the capabilities and skills of residents in the municipality focusing on the
requirements of the industries.

8.0 DEVELOPMENT CONSTRAINTS

These factors were derived mainly from the Strengths-Weaknesses-Opportunities-Threats (SWOT)
workshop conducted last 10 December 2016 attended by the Technical Working Group, local
officials and representatives of people’s organization. The results of subsequent multi-sectoral
workshops and data from existing institutional reports were also considered. In this plan’s context,
development constraints refer to weaknesses and threats.
The following are the identified constraints that may hamper the achievement of the City’s vision
and development goals. The CLUP has to ensure that effective management of these constraints as
well as the formulation measures that will mitigate the negative impact of these constraints.
• Susceptibility to natural hazards
The City of Cabuyao, due to its geographic location, is prone to various types of hazards
including flooding, typhoon, earthquake, and landslides. Flood–prone areas in the City
include some parts of the Poblacion, lower portion of Sala, coastal barangays of Bigaa,
Butong, Marinig, Gulod, Baclaran, portion of Mamatid and areas along rivers especially in
Barangay Banlic along the San Cristobal River due to poor drainage system and heavy
siltation.
Cabuyao also has areas exposed to erosion which are in need of protection from further
deterioration. These areas are located in Barangay Bigaa, Casile and Banlic. Specifically,
portions of Barangay Diezmo are prone to rain-induced landslides.
Lastly, due to the presence of an active fault line, certain portions of Barangay Casile have
low susceptibility to earthquake-induced landslides.
• Increasing population due to migrants and informal settlers
The City’s population is increasing over the years, with highest growth rate posted at
9.46% during the 2007 census. This was when the influx of low cost residential development
had started. Moreover, the city became host to various relocation projects of the national
government, thus the significant increase in terms of growth rate during that period. This
has also lead to an increase in the informal settlers in the City. The high population growth
would mean that the City would have a higher demand for social services.
• Limited land area
Majority of the City’s land is being used for production which accounts for 52% of the total
land area while 25% of the territory is used for settlement and 8% are used
68 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
by infrastructure and utilities. This would mean that there is only a limited area for
expansion and for other land uses such as recreational uses.
• Narrow road network and traffic congestion
The City has sufficient road network but there are some road sections that are in need of
widening which has resulted in traffic congestion. The traffic congestion could serve as a
constraint limiting the flow of people and goods within and outside the City. Some roads
would also need improvement if they were to be used as access to future development
sites.
• Weak implementation of the previous CLUP
Some aspects of the previous CLUP has not been implemented which could have been
caused by various factors. However, this has led to the City not fully achieving its full
potential.
• Lack of identity
There has been a concern that the City lacks a certain identity that differentiates it from its
neighboring cities which lessens the opportunity for people to recognize the City as a place
for potential investments. There has also been inadequate signage and landmark in the City
which could help make the City to stand out more from its neighboring cities.
• Lack of solid waste management
The City doesn’t have its own sanitary landfill which makes it dependent of city garbage
contractors and external sanitary landfills. There is also a slight problem in proper waste
management.
• Strict labor practices
There have been some issues regarding contractualization, which makes the employees at a
disadvantage. Strict labor policies or labor problems also needs to be addressed to make the
City more attractive to investors while also providing fair working conditions to the
employees.
• Political situation
It was noted that there has been political differences between the local executive and
legislative branch which resulted with the budget just being re-enacted since 2013. There
has also been a concern regarding a change in leadership with the projects not being
continued by the next administration.

9.0 COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES AND COMPETITIVE EDGE

The attainment of the City’s vision can be facilitated by the formulation of a comprehensive plan
that builds on its comparative advantages and competitive edge through its strengths and
opportunities.
• Geographic location and natural features
The City is strategically located between Metro Manila and the provincial capital of Santa
Cruz. It is located approximately 43 kilometers southeast of Metro Manila and 54 kilometers
from Santa Cruz. The presence of South Luzon Expressways and national roads provide
access to these areas. This provides access to facilities and economic opportunities for the
local residents.
The City is also blessed with natural resources. Its topography can be described as having
hilly to mountainous areas in the western section and it slopes down to the narrow plains as
it approaches the Laguna Lake in the east. The Matang Tubig watershed is located in the
western portion of the City and it serves as a major water source for the surrounding areas.
Even though the City is already urbanized, it still maintains several agricultural areas, which
make it stand out as compared to its neighboring cities. These agricultural areas can provide
the opportunity for growth in food production and organic farming.
• Social asset
The City is blessed with healthy citizens with high literacy rate and who are actively
participating in the contribution to the local economy through establishment of various
business establishments.
• Entrepreneurial economy
The city is considered to be an entrepreneurial city capable of becoming Number 1 in terms

of the economy due to its booming secondary and tertiary sector which experiences growth
every year which contribute a substantial income to the City.
In 2009, there were 29.43 business establishments per 100 residents in Cabuyao which
means that the local populace is actively engaging in economic enterprises. Majority of the
manufacturing industries are engaged in food processing, textile, garments and electronics
manufacturing. These are mostly located within the Light Industry and Science Park I in
Barangay Diezmo.
• Strong local government
The City has a strong leadership headed by the local chief executive (LCE) who is a visionary
supported by competent municipal officials and department heads. Aside
73 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
from having committed leaders, the LGU has been described to having proactive personnel
who know what to do and do it right and are capable of reporting daily balances which show
their transparency. The LGU was also described as to having a strong financial position.
• Strong partnership with the business industry
The City has good relations with the local business industry. The presence of the various
manufacturing industries and their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives has
greatly helped the City.
• National Government assistance and future government projects
The City should take advantage of PPAs and grants from National Agencies such as the BUB.
The Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike is planned to have two (2) exits in the City, which
will make the City more accessible to Metro Manila bringing with it numerous opportunities.

10.0 FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF CABUYAO CITY

The development of Cabuyao City as part of the Province of Laguna and CALABARZON shall in
accordance with the CALABARZON Regional Development Plan (RDP). The RDP is a document that
contains the regional policies and strategies that will help the region realize its vision as an industrial
and service center. Development objectives for the region include the following:
• A global economic hub and a focal point for investments/industrial zones

• Minimize poverty and maximize attainment of MDGs
• A clean and balanced urban-rural environment and ecosystem
• Growth with equity
• The most livable industrial region
The Plan however recognizes population growth, environmental degradation and land conversion as
the key challenges in regional development, as well as globalization and tourism.
Moreover, the development thrusts of Cabuyao City shall also in accordance of the Provincial
Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP). The Provincial Development and Physical
Framework Plan is one of the five guidelines on Provincial/Local Planning and Expenditure
Management (PLPEM) devised by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) with
the assistance of Asian Development Bank (ADB). It is mainly designed as a combination of the
Provincial Physical Framework Plan (PPFP) and the Provincial Development Plan (PDP). The PDPFP is
a document that provides the bases for identifying specific programs, projects, and activities (PPAs)
towards achieving growth and development primarily involving the province‘s objectives, targets
and strategies serving as major inputs to the provincial investment programming process. The PDPFP
is a document that translates provincial development goals, objectives and policies into a spatial
plan indicating the manner on which land shall be put into use during a ten-year period.
The PDPFP also serves as the Comprehensive Provincial Land Use Plan (CPLUP) for the province as
required under the 1991 Local Government Code. Under the 2010-2020 Laguna PDPFP, Cabuyao is
envisioned to one of the primary growth center of the province by year 2020, together with San
Pedro, Sta. Rosa, Calamba, Biñan, San Pablo and Sta. Cruz. The PDPFP noted the rapid industrial
development in the province. In order to capitalize on said development, it adopted an agro-
industrial development strategy. This means that industrialization should grow hand-in-hand with
agriculture. More industries should be encouraged to complement existing industries, as well as
increase agricultural productivity and farm income of the rural sector.

1.0 VISION, MISSION, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

1.1 Vision Statement
The vision statement of Cabuyao pictures what its people wanted for the City in the next 10 years
and beyond. It serves as the guiding framework for all it major plans, program and policies. It was
drafted in a multi-sectoral workshop attended by the local officials, city personnel and stakeholders
from the business sector and the civil society. It reads as follows:
City of Cabuyao in 2026: An entrepreneurial, industrialized and progressive
economic hub in the region which is environment-friendly and disaster-resilient
having service-driven, healthy, empowered and God-loving citizens.
1.1.1 Role of Cabuyao in a Wider Region
Cabuyao envision itself as the economic hub of Calabarzon housing the light to medium industries,
hosting both international and local companies, providing at the same time complete amenities and
facilities of a smart and sustainable city.
The City of Cabuyao will capitalize on its competitive advantage of its proximity to Metro Manila and
its accessibility via national highways and expressways, and the availability of land supply for
industrial and commercial expansion. To complement industrial development, the City of Cabuyao
will intensify its commercial base and strengthen its role in Laguna and in Region IV-A by
encouraging establishment of trade centers, financial and support service centers, education and
cultural centers, and business process/outsourcing center, among others.
It envisions hosting additional Science Parks and economic zones. It will provide industrial space for
industries shifting location from China and other countries to the Philippines.
The City will also optimize its potential to serve as the logistics hub to complement the national
project on Laguna Dike-Expressway that will be providing two expressway exits in Cabuyao.
1.1.2 Vision Elements, Descriptors and Success Indicators
The vision statement illustrates the desired qualities of the City in terms of five (5) major elements,
namely: 1) the quality of the people as individuals and as society; 2) the nature of the local economy;
3) the state of the natural environment; 4) the condition of the built environment; and 5) the
qualities of the local leadership.
a. Qualities of the people as individuals and as a society. The City of Cabuyao envisions
having a healthy and empowered population that is God-loving and
77 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
service driven.
• Healthy. The City recognizes the importance of health and total well-being of the
citizenry in its path to development. For Cabuyao, having healthy citizens mean
reduced maternal mortality rate and child mortality rate, fully immunized children,
and availability of food for every family. Also, this would mean as well that the city
government implements health related programs and projects aimed to train
barangay health workers, put up and expand health facilities in every barangays.
Moreover, there’s a capacity to control and contain disease breakout and related
cases.
• Empowered. Citizen empowerment and inclusion improves the culture of

community. Thus empowered citizenry means zero non-reader, improved
employment rate and improved job matching rate. Moreover, access to skills and
human resources training and development is readily available for city constituents.
Furthermore, there are equal opportunities for education and employment. Overall,
this means active involvement of different sectors in various activities that benefits
the community.
• Service driven. A service-driven citizenry serves as impetus to being inclusive. This

means improved social service delivery, improved school participation rate,
increased in Philhealth Membership (100% coverage) and establishing additional
one tertiary hospital.
• God-loving. A community of God-loving people espouses peace and harmony. This is

better exemplified in a community that has a low crime rate, strong family relations
and active participation in religious and cause-oriented activities. Above all, people
are warm and kind-hearted.
b. Nature of the Local Economy. Cabuyao’s local economy is envisioned to be

industrialized and progressive and is empowered by entrepreneurial opportunities
accessible to its citizenry. This shall be deemed attained when there is steady inflow of
economic investments which will become the reliable source of revenue stream. More
specifically:
• Having a progressive local economy means increased number of SMEs, increased

registered businesses, additional family members employed and additional home
based business opportunities. This also would mean high employment rate
registration compared to past years. Most job opportunities matches the local-
based skills. This is achieved by exposing the city constituents with the specialized
training for city-based industries, companies and locators. This also means active
role of the LGU through the establishment of local economic enterprise office and
strengthening of technical and vocational education especially designed for out of
school youth and interested individuals.
78 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Attaining the industrialized city status means the local economy is vibrant. The city
becomes less IRA dependent with locally sourced income increasing. Major business
and employment activities revolve around manufacturing and production. For
Cabuyao, this means increase in capacity and number of locators doing business in
the city where skills matches the job requirements.
• An empowered local economy is attained when more farmers/fisherfolks adopting

modern technology and therefore engaged in various livelihood activities. It also
means that more cooperatives engaged in entrepreneurial activities and more
economic enterprise established by the city government. All these can results to
increase in number of local business registrations and investments driven by
efficient business permit and licensing process and system. This triggers investors’
confidence in local economy where priority is given to improved infrastructure
support (e.g. access to water, power, communication and other support services)
and provision for incentives.
c. State of the Natural Environment. In recognition of the welfare of Cabuyao’s future

generation, it is necessary that the City ensures that its people live in an environment-
friendly and disaster-resilient setting. This requires strong commitment of constituents
to safeguard their environment both for present and future generations.
• Environment-friendly initiatives is manifested best by the enactment of a Local

Environmental Code. This provides a framework of action to better manage the
natural resources of the city in the context of resource use vis-a-vis development.
Specific programs should addressed issues on solid waste management and
wastewater treatment. Moreover, the threat of climate change and environmental
degradation is imminent thus a strategic environmental planning approach can lay
the ground towards sustainability.
• A resilient environment means that the impacts of hazards on the natural

environment are minimized through integrated disaster risk management. The city
should aim to establish its own Disaster Risk Reduction Management Office, whose
primary function is to develop measures for adaptation and mitigation for
implementation. This involves establishment of early warning system and
development of communication tools to improve local capacity and raise awareness
on disaster risk management.
d. Condition of the Built Environment. Cabuyao is envisioned to have a disaster resilient

and environment-friendly built environment with climate change adaptive
infrastructure facilities.
• Having a disaster resilient built environment means well informed citizens especially
on building code compliance. Resiliency also means evacuation
79 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
centers established, disaster facilities in place, improved road network system, solid
waste management policies fully implemented and well trained personnel to
support all of these initiatives. Local policies and legislations ensures integrity of
buildings and structures thereby raising the standards of public safety. Infrastructure
and public works plans should consider some adaptation measures in view of
climate change and sea level rise. The city should draw a DRRM plan to support
improve resiliency and ensure sustainability.
• The city is aiming to be environment-friendly. This entails solid waste management

programs such as segregation at source and establishment of MRFs for all barangays
in compliance of RA 9003. Moreover, it aims to be plastic and styrofoam free.
e. Qualities of Local Leadership. It is the desire of the people of Cabuyao to be led by

leaders with God-loving and service-driven motivation for the empowerment of its
constituency.
• God-loving. God-loving leaders are disciplined good followers of the rules &
regulations of the government. A God-fearing leader would always ensure upholding
peace, justice and equality. With this values in place in local leadership, lower crime
rate is achieved through improved police visibility, conduct of various values
formation activities and improved community support facilities that results to peace
and order.
• Service driven. Economic progress and inclusive local development can be attained
if the leadership imbibes a service oriented attitude to public services delivery. This
prioritizes common and societal benefits over individual interest and favor. It looks
at common good rather than parochial attention that favors selected few. This
requires inclusiveness in action and genuineness in motivation.
• Empowerment. Empowered leadership supports for active participation of Civil

Society Organizations (CSOs). Thus more NGOs and CSOs properly accredited by the
city government. Moreover, it facilitates proper implementation of bottom up
budgeting (BUB). Governance should be genuinely consultative and bottom-up in its
approach. Citizens’ feedback mechanism should be well-established. Accountability
and transparency in local governance are upheld.
The list of success indicators for each desired quality of the people as individuals and as society,
nature of the local economy, state of the natural environment, condition of the built environment,
and qualities of the local leadership is provided in the following table. Annual monitoring of these
indicators must be undertaken to monitor progress in the achievement of Cabuyao’s vision.

2.0 DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES

This section shows and examines spatial strategy options or the preferred urban form for Cabuyao
to achieve its desired development by 2025. In general, the term ‘urban form’ refers to the physical
arrangement and design of the built and unbuilt environment over a particular territory. As part of
the development of Cabuyao, different options for spatial development were identified and
considered at a workshop attended by local officials and stakeholders. Different options were
established by considering the current direction of Cabuyao’s spatial and economic growth such as
Do Nothing Scenario; Commercial-Industrial Development; Agro-Ecotourism Development;
Lakeshore Development; and Sustainable Multi-Center Development.
To explore and evaluate the above development options, the strategies were examined using the
following level of analysis: a) regional and provincial level; b) sub-provincial level covering the
neighboring cities of cities and municipalities of Sta. Rosa, Calamba, Biñan and Tagaytay; and, c) local
level including Cabuyao’s 18 barangays. These levels of analysis provide the basis for understanding
the existing pattern of urban and rural development within the City, as well as the extent to which
Cabuyao connects with other local government units. To evaluate the identified options, the PCT
and TWGs with the help of the consultants conducted several activities such as participatory
workshops, interviews with local experts, ground truthing, and GIS mapping. These methodologies
not only provide the existing situation analysis of Cabuyao, but also define the likely pattern or
direction of growth of the City in the near future. Of the three options, the selected strategy will
serve as the framework for the City in detailing and establishing priorities for action to guide the
land allocation of economic, social, environmental, physical activities, and infrastructure in the next
10 years.
2.1. Proposed Development Thrust and Spatial Strategies
2.1.1 Do Nothing Scenario
The Do-Nothing Scenario is a result of following the previous and existing trend of development with
limited or totally without intervention on the part of the local government. This option looked at the
present growth pattern of the City in the last ten years with the assumption that the same
development trend will proliferate in each barangay in the next 10 years. Possible results may
include rapid settlement expansion, uncontrolled conversion of agricultural land including SAFDZ
areas. The settlement areas may increase their coverage without proper development restrictions.
The uncontrolled settlement area expansion will likely result to doubling of population in the span of
eight (8) years.
The unavailability of spatial planning and management may also result to housing construction and
production activities in the protection and environmentally constraint zones. The expansion, which
may bring population outside the settlement zones, can be a
89 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
source of environmental and social pressures such as increased waste generation and greater
demand for basic social services.
2.1.2 Commercial-Industrial Development
This option assumed that the resources of the City will capitalize and focus on expanding the existing
industrial and commercial areas.
This spatial strategy option anticipates the development of Barangays Pittland and Diezmo as the
center of light industries with expansion area on portion of Sala, Niugan, Banaybanay, Pulo and San
Isidro. On the other hand, commercial activities are assumed to concentrate in Poblacion area, lower
portion of Banlic and along major thoroughfares.
2.1.3 Agro-ecotourism Development
This option recognizes the potential of the City to be the center of ecotourism and production areas
for high value and/or organic products. The natural resources and geographic characteristics of the
upland barangay of Casile were recognized as suitable for ecotourism and high value and organic
crop production. Lowland barangays with concentration on Barangay Marinig and Gulod were
recognized as suitable for development as the food basket of the City and its neighboring LGU. It
also aims to optimize the use of existing irrigation resources, which was put up by the National
Government. The formulated development programs for Agro-Eco Tourism will be included in the
tourism programs tourism master plan
2.1.4 Lakeshore Development
Under this scenario, a collaborative partnership with the National Government through the Laguna
Lake Development Authority is foreseen to be able to fully realize the resources available in Laguna
Lake. This scenario supports the ongoing trend of shifting the lakeshore barangays to be the center
of resorts and recreational activities. It envisions putting up of 2000-square meter multipurpose
facility, on stilt, in each lakeshore barangay to serve as economic and recreational center, as well as
infrastructure support to the lakeshore fishing livelihood. This scenario is also in support of the of
the National Government Plan to implement the Laguna Lakeshore Expressway Dike Project which
intends to put up expressway/dike 500 meters from the shoreline. The Environmental Code will be
drafted to address the needs and concern of the tourists that will visit the tourist area.
2.1.5 Sustainable Multi-Center Development
This approach is the application of reef-to-ridge planning principle. It recognizes the distinct physical
and geographical characteristics of each component of the City and the need to balance the
economic growth and sustainable development.
The Sustainable Multi-Center Development is a combination of three approaches: 1) commercial-
industrial development, 2) agro-ecotourism development; and 3) lakeshore development.
90 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
Under this approach, the City is subdivided into various centers, with each center playing their major
role in City’s development. These centers of development are all connected with each other to
provide synergistic growth and complement the services and requirements of each development
center.
Several considerations are evaluated to identify the appropriate centers: existing economic
activities; existing available services; geographic location; population trend; existing access; and the
nodes’ development potentials and their implications on environment. This strategy aims to a)
ensure that resources will be directed to the areas where economic potentials are high; b)
strengthen support on food production areas and activities; and, c) give special consideration to
areas where resiliency should be strengthen. Given that this approach examined the different facets
of social and economic development of Cabuyao, this could be considered as the most sustainable
option, which will accelerate the vision execution of the City.
2.2. Evaluation of Development Spatial Strategies
The evaluation of alternative spatial development options was carried out using three tools: Overlay
Analysis; Identification of places of significance and Hazard Assessment; and multi-sectoral
consultation.
2.2.1 Overlay Analysis
The spatial implication of the spatial options was evaluated using the overlay analysis. The objective
of this technique is to find the best spatial allocation of land for future residential, commercial, agro-
industrial, agricultural and forest development using the various geo-processing tools in GIS. The
tool demonstrated how the City’s land, social and economic resources will be affected by growth
when put into four spatial scenarios.
The process of overlay analysis requires the integration of several GIS layers or data sets to examine
the characteristics of geographic areas and land resources with potential for development. To
prepare the GIS map layers needed to come up with the model, maps from the DENR-NAMRIA
(National Mapping and Resource Information Authority) and various government agencies were
acquired. Major roads, built-up areas, open spaces, and agricultural lands were digitized from the
available 1:14,000 topographic, soil and land use maps from the agencies. Other map layers covering
the alienable and disposable areas were updated using the available GIS data of Cabuyao from the
Assessor’s Office. Finally, the layers for the facilities were plotted in Google Earth with the help of
TWG members.
Utilizing the existing land use map of Cabuyao as the base layer, the following results were
generated to guide the LGU, stakeholders and the PCT/TWG in determining the physical condition
and suitability of lands to accommodate future development.
a. The changes in land use within low land barangays have been very dynamic for the past
10 years.
91 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
Agricultural and open areas were replaced by residential subdivisions and industrial
facilities. Commercial establishments concentrated in the Poblacion barangays and in
major thorough fares, while industries aggregated in Barangays Diezmo and Pittland and
is sprawling towards the adjacent barangays of Diezmo
– the Barangays Sala and Niugan.
Establishment of golf areas in Casile and the sprouting of residential houses along the
major road of upland barangay were also observed.
Residential subdivisions were put up near industrial areas in Pittland. In the lakeshore
and inner barangays, rapid increase in subdivisions is sprawling towards the agricultural
areas, including SAFDZ areas.
Built up areas and good quality agricultural lands are concentrated in the barangays
where the slope is characterized as level and undulating to rolling (0-18%).
b. By overlaying the hazard and slope data sets, the following development constraint
areas are found:
• In locating flood hazards, all the lakeshore barangays: Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod
and Baclaran, as well as the inner barangays of Uno, Dos, Tres, Sala, Niugan, Banay-
banay, Pulo, San isidro, Banlic and Mamatid were all identified as susceptible to
flooding but with low susceptibility only. This is associated with their low-lying
terrain (0%-8%) and proximity to Laguna Lake. Most of the land uses and structures
that may be affected are prime and general agricultural lands, built up areas, main
roads, schools, barangay centers, church and other businesses. Flood–prone areas in
the City associated to due to poor drainage system and heavy siltation in the San
Cristobal River include some parts of the Poblacion, lower portion of Sala, coastal
barangays of Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod, Baclaran, portion of Mamatid and areas
along rivers especially in Barangay Banlic.
• The overlaid maps showed that ertain portions of Barangay Casile have susceptibility
to earthquake-induced landslides due to an active fault line in the barangay. The
susceptibility is however noted as low level only. The overlay analysis classified the
environmentally constrained areas which can protect human settlements and
economic activities from any risks. This result could be used in choosing the most
appropriate development strategy that respects the physical and natural constraints
on the growth of Cabuyao.
92 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
2.2.2 Hazard Areas and Culturally Significant Sites as Evaluation Criteria
In the stakeholder’s evaluation of spatial strategies workshop, several areas were defined as
historical areas of typhoon and inundation. The areas identified as having been flooded in the past 5-
10 years are barangays low-lying barangays including the lakeshore barangays. Most notable
however are in northeastern barangays of Bigaa and Butong. The flooding lasted for hours only but
affects farm to market roads, schools, settlement and agricultural areas.
Based on the stakeholders evaluation result, the spatial strategy to be selected should reflect the
vulnerability of the people of Cabuyao by identifying the hazard prone areas in the past that should
be given the right land use policies to guide its future social and economic growth.
The following were also identified as the areas with special meaning in the community or in the
Cabuyao culture which are considered as sacred or special/memorable to the people:
• Plaza (Pob. Uno)

• El Tore (Pulo private property)
• Old houses/ancestral in Poblacion area at Limcaoco St. and in various parts of the
City
• Twin Mansions Castle (special tourist area)
• Sakdalista Marker
• Churches: St.Vincent Diocesan Shrine & Parish in Barngay Mamatid; St. Polycarp
Parish Church and Monastery of St. Clare of Assisi in Poblacion
• Matang Tubig Watershed in Casile (water source of Cabuyao, and 3 LGUs).
• The value of said areas in the cultural development of Cabuyao has to be integrated
in the formulation of spatial strategies to promote their preservation or guided
development. Spatial strategies have to consider also the following areas where
Cabuyap people now go for relaxation or enjoyment: Marinig fishing port, and NIA
Road and memorial parks as jogging/zumba areas.
2.2.3 Multi Sectoral Consultation
Various workshops with stakeholders, PCT, TWGs and elected barangay officials were conducted to
determine the spatial strategies that have to be adopted which are directly contributing in the
attainment of the City’s vision.
In the stakeholder consultation conducted in February 2016, it was decided unanimously that the
City will be pro-active in directing its development, hence do nothing scenario will not be pursued.
Agreement was reached that the rapid population growth of the city has to be guided by spatial
policies and relevant programs.
The stakeholders also agreed on a consensus that the sustainable multi-center development
strategy be adopted for the City as it recognizes various development opportunities present in
Cabuyao and also because it is geared towards balancing economic growth and sustainability in
terms of food production and environmental preservation and protection.

3.0 DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND STRUCTURE PLAN

3.1 The Preferred Spatial Strategy/Development Concept
Among the four (4) spatial options, the Sustainable Multi-Center Development strategy has a clear
advantage over the Do Nothing and the Single Center Development in terms of meeting the vision of
establishing Cabuyao as a progressive and resilient City. This spatial strategy option represents the
most sustainable land-use development pattern that conforms to the regional and provincial
development goals and more importantly to the national mandate to adopt a set of land use policy
guidelines and growth strategies that will influence the utilization of land towards a disaster resilient
LGU.
Specifically, the Sustainable Multi-Center Development strategy calls for:
• The most rational use and protection of lands to ensure further development of sustainable
settlements and economic resources in Cabuyao.
• Availability of physical and social infrastructure such as roads, potable and irrigation water
supply, schools and health centers to serve the existing and proposed areas for development
in Cabuyao.
• Renewal and conservation of Cabuyao’s identity through architectural and design excellence
in buildings, landscape, open space, and public space; creative infill development solutions;
strengthening of cultural pathways; and tourism area development.
The preferred spatial strategy/development concept is based on interrelated and integrated

development centers and corridors, which interact to form the desired growth pattern of Cabuyao.
Centers are concentration of similar land uses, economic and social activities in a particular area
such as commercial, industrial, agricultural and eco-tourism. For the City to establish well-
functioning centers, transportation corridors should be present to ensure that services and facilities
are accessible and goods are distributed efficiently. However, the intensity of activities and
interactions taking place in the different development centers of Cabuyao are not the same. Thus, a
hierarchy of centers is proposed depending on the level of activities and investments currently in
place for the centers. The following hierarchy of centers is proposed for various areas in Cabuyao:
• Primary Centers
o Commercial-Industrial
o Agro-Ecotourism
o Lakeshore Development
• Secondary Centers:
o Commercial-Industrial

3.2 Spatial Strategy/Development Concept 1: Commercial-Industrial

Development
The City of Cabuyao will capitalize on its competitive advantage of proximity to Metro Manila and its
accessibility via national highways and expressways. It will be developed as the center of light to
medium industries, hosting both international and local companies, providing at the same time
complete amenities and facilities of a smart and sustainable city. To complement industrial
development, the City of Cabuyao will intensify its commercial base and strengthen its role in
Laguna and in Region IV-A by encouraging establishment of trade centers, financial and support
service centers, education and cultural centers, and business process/outsourcing center, among
others.
The City shall make available the facilities, utilities, measures and incentives to encourage investors
to further diversify and increase investments. The required programs and mitigating measures shall
be identified to address the impacts of intensified commercial and industrial activities such as
increased volume of solid and liquid wastes, demand for more parking areas, management of traffic,
workers’ housing, business/personal services, health facilities, warehouse/storage facilities, utilities
and telecommunication facilities, etc. A central terminal has to be established for effective traffic
management and facilitate intermodal transfer. The planning and establishment of integrated
drainage and sewerage system, as well as sewage and waste treatment system and facilities will be
prioritized.

Diezmo Sala, Niugan, Banaybanay and portions Barangays Pulo, San Isidro and Banlic. Existing heavy
industries will remain in Barangay Sala and Niugan; medium industries will be concentrated in
Pittland, Diezmo and western portion of Banaybanay, Pulo and San Isidro. Light industries will be
located in eastern portion of Sala, Niugan, Banay-Banay, Pulo and Banlic.
The Industrial Center is envisioned as a thriving, aesthetically-pleasing medium to light industrial

area that serves the City and the country’s requirements while resulting in little impact to adjacent
land uses. The Center shall be developed based on the Industrial Center Design Guidelines that will
be adopted by the City. It shall have an area characteristic which shall have unified themes for walls,
landscape and signage. The design characteristics of a surrounding area, including project design,
architectural styles, and established landscape shall be reflected in new development, including
expansions, renovations, and any exterior modifications. Setback treatments for new buildings from
streets should provide a positive image to the existing streetscape. Generally, transitions between
existing and new buildings should be gradual. The height and mass of new projects should not create
abrupt changes in close proximity to existing buildings, unless the area is clearly transitioning to a
more intense development pattern
97 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
3.2.2 Commercial Center
Commerce and support business activities will be concentrated in the entire poblacion area, which
includes the barangays of Uno, Dos, and Tres, Barangay Banlic and in both sides of major roads in
the City such as the Cabuyao National Road, Pulo-Diezmo Road, Poblacion-Marinig Road and Gulod-
NIA Road.
The development of the commercial centers is envisioned to contribute to a strong sense of City
identity. Commercial facilities shall be organized in a linear pattern along major roads and/or
concentrated in areas at intersections or interspersed with predominantly residential uses with high
quality design which shall consider the following:
• Enhancing the quality of the pedestrian experience along commercial corridors

• Nurturing an overall active street presence
• Protecting and conserving the neighborhood architectural character
• Establishing height and massing transitions between residential and commercial uses
• Maintaining visual and spatial relationships with adjacent buildings; and
• Optimizing opportunities for high quality infill development that strengthens the visual
and functional quality of the commercial environment
a. Commercial Center No. 1 (Poblacion: Commercial-Institutional). The Poblacion Area

comprised of Barangays Uno, Dos and Tres, will serve as the Commercial-Institutional
Center of the City with high-density commercial facilities and establishments. It shall
house the city government center, as well as wholesale and retail establishments, banks,
academic institutions, hospitals, food establishments. Key government offices will be
centralized in this Center for administrative efficiency in service delivery.
This Center shall be considered as the City Business District (CBD).
b. Commercial Center No. 2 (Banlic). The area in Barangay Banlic adjacent to the City of
Calamba and in both sides of the Cabuyao National Road shall serve the as Commercial

would cater to the requirements of the adjacent residential areas of both the City of
Cabuyao and Calamba.
c. Commercial Center No. 3 (Major Thoroughfares). The 50-meters space from both sides
of the following major thoroughfares will be developed as commercial centers: Pulo-
Diezmo Road, Cabuyao National Road, Poblacion-Marinig Road, Gulod-NIA Road, and
Local roads in Mamatid and San Isidro. These commercial centers shall be developed as
light density commercial areas except for commercial areas in both sides of the National
road where it shall be developed as medium density commercial area.
98 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
The Gulod-NIA Road shall be developed as a commercial area in anticipation of the exit
that will be established by the Laguna Lake Dike Project. After the 50-meter space, the
next 100 meters may be considered as expansion area for industrial development once
the Dike Project has been completed.
3.3 Spatial Strategy/Development Concept 2: Agro-Ecotourism Development
3.3.1 Agro-Industrial Center
The City of Cabuyao will harness it ecotourism potentials and take advantage of tourism
development sprawl from the nearby Tagaytay City. It will also optimize its existing agricultural areas
by diversifying crop production in support of food sufficiency initiative for the City. It shall also
preserve and protect the Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zones (SAFDZ) to ensure
efficient and sustainable utilization of the land for food and non-food production and agro-
industrialization.
The ecotourism area shall be developed based on natural and/or cultural environmental and their
associated resource base. Tourism facilities and activities shall be designed to conserve existing
ecological, cultural and social balances within the area, as well as provide inside education to
tourists/visitors on the environment including flora, fauna and its associated communities. The
roads/paths should be maintained in a natural manner without disturbing the natural setting of the
area, with natural contours of the landscape being followed and high structures being avoided.
Colors should blend, not contrast with the colors of the natural environment and overall design
should be simple with minimum visual impacts.
The City is envisioned provide tourism facilities such as recreational parks, golf courses, cottage-like
resorts, retreat and spiritual houses, training and convention centers, and eco-adventure parks. Said
amenities shall be made available to address the requirements of the industries in Cabuyao and its
adjacent cities and local government units. The protected watershed area is targeted to serve as a
forest library of indigenous flora and fauna.
The agricultural areas in lowland barangays shall serve as the food basket of the City and will focus
on rice and high value crop production. On the other hand, the agricultural areas in Casile will be
developed as the center of organic farming and coffee plantation.
3.3.2 Agro-Ecotourism Center No.1: Casile for Organic Farming, Coffee Plantation and Eco-tourism
The cool climate and high elevation of Barangay Casile will be optimized with the strategy to develop
it as an eco-tourism area. It shall host tourism facilities such as recreational parks, golf courses,
cottage-like resorts, retreat and spiritual houses, training and convention
99 | P a g e

Laguna Lake Dike Project, the five (5) lakeshore Barangays of Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod and
Baclaran shall host lakeshore developments such as resorts and multipurpose economic and
recreational facilities. A 100-meter buffer zone of Laguna Lake shall be established. In order to
maintain the buffer zone of Laguna Lake and to prevent the impact of flooding due to water level
rise during heavy rains, the entire easement of the lake in Cabuyao will be declared as Waterfront
Development Zone (WDZ) which shall be used primarily for outdoor park and related activities and
supporting commercial, cultural, entertainment, and tourist-oriented developments.
Co-management with the Laguna Lake Development Authority will be established. The finalization of
the agreement of granting each barangay as 2000 square meter lakeshore property to serve as
multi-purpose economic and recreational area shall be pursued.
In support of this strategy, the roads towards the multi-purpose economic and recreational areas
shall be established and/or widened, as well as the road that runs parallel to all the lakeshore
barangays.

3.5 Development Corridors
3.5.1 Inter-regional movement
The network of the primary and secondary centers is reinforced by a system of development
corridors. The National Road, South Luzon Expressway and Philippine National Railway Road act as
the inter-regional movement corridor that supports Cabuyao’s strong urban growth node linkage
with its neighboring cities and the Metro Manila. The National Road also acts as the conduit of public
transport by connecting public transport facilities in the barangays. As a result, the road is seen as
one of the City’s future development focus areas for commercial development.
3.5.2 Intra-City movement
The intra-City movement corridor comprises of the provincial roads, NIA Roads and local roads (city,
barangay and subdivision road networks). These roads are critical for the convenient and efficient
flow of people, agricultural products and other services among the different development centers
and to the stimulation of the socio-economic development in Cabuyao. All major thoroughfares
identified for commercial development have to be widened. Although it is impossible to widen all
roads, additional efforts are recommended in managing the road network of Cabuyao—maintain
trees along sidewalks for an airstrip, and provision of coordinated transport facilities like terminals,
sheds, benches and lights.
3.6 The Structure Plan/Concept Map
All of the spatial strategies/development concepts discussed above are translated into a Structure
Plan or Concept Map for better analysis and visualization.
The Structure Plan will provide the City government of Cabuyao with the overall framework for the
preparation of the City’s Land Use Plan, which is discussed in the succeeding sections. Presented
through a map, the Structure Plan depicts the envisioned development concept, the visual outline,
and shape of the overall physical and development framework of the City of Cabuyao in the next 10
years.

4.0 THE LAND USE PLAN

The proposed land use of Cabuyao City is classified into four policy areas namely: protected,
production, settlements, and infrastructure. Given a scenario where the land use plan is realized as
envisioned, the resulting mix of the four (4) general land use types and their respective sub-types is
shown in Map 4.2 to 4.6 and the area tabulation in shown in Table 4.1.
Of the City’s total land area of 4,330 hectares, Production Area would obtain the largest portion
equivalent to 1,966.71 hectares (46%). It is followed by Settlement Area with 1,218.23 hectares
(28%), Protection Area with 661.71 hectares (15%), and Infrastructure area with 483.35 hectares
(11%) as shown in Figure 4.1.

4.1 Settlement Area
The Settlement Area of Cabuyao comprised all types of residential development within the City such
as self-built houses, private subdivisions, transient houses, and socialized/public housing facilities. As
discussed in the previous chapter, its current density is medium. To maintain it, an additional of
77.38 hectares will be allocated for residential purposes. Industrial and Agricultural lands adjacent to
existing residential areas are the prime candidates for conversion to accommodate the anticipated
demands of the population. Significant increases in residential areas are anticipated to occur in
Barangays Bigaa, Butong, and Mamatid as these barangays have still available space for expansion.
By 2026, settlement areas in Cabuyao will be 1,218.23 hectares, constituting 28 percent of its total
land area.
105 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
4.2 Production Area
Production Area in Cabuyao includes areas intended for commercial, industrial, and agricultural
lands.
Significant increase on area for commercial activities will be anticipated in the next 10 years. From
the existing 55.07 hectares, it will increase by 249.84 percent or 177.24 hectares in 2026. The entire
poblacion area, which includes the barangays of Uno, Dos, and Tres will accommodate such
increase, as these barangays will be zoned as purely commercial. Increase in commercial area will
also be expected in Barangay Banlic and in both sides of major roads in the City such as the Cabuyao
National Road and Pulo-Diezmo Road.
From the existing industrial area of 461.47 hectares, by 2016 it is expected to increase by 70.00
percent equivalent to 784.50 hectares. This is to realize the vision of the City as an industrialized city
in the next 10 years. Areas for industrial activities are predominant in Barangays Pittland, Diezmo,
Sala, Niugan, and Banaybanay.
Agricultural area in the City includes those areas used for crop production located predominantly in
the lowland barangays of Gulod and Marining, and in the upland barangay of Casile. By the end of
the panning period, agricultural area in the City will decrease by more than half equivalent to 937.38
hectares. This is to accommodate expansion of urban uses such as residential, commercial, and
industrial. However, the area does not include those classified as SAFDZ. Though it is classified as
protected, SAFDZ is also intended for crop production purposes.
4.3 Protection Area
The SAFDZ, watershed, buffer, easements, and parks, recreational and open spaces are those
composing the Protected Area in the City of Cabuyao.
• Among the proposed Protected Area subtypes, Parks, and Recreational Area comprised by
golf course, pocket parks, and plazas occupy the largest portion equivalent to 247.67
hectares or 5.72 percent of the total area of the City.
• SAFDZ, which is predominant in Barangays Gulod and Marinig constitute the 3.67 percent of
the total area of the City equivalent to 225.84 hectares. While it serves as a production area,
SAFDZ will be protected in the next 10 years.
• The legal buffer of Laguna Lake is also part of the Protection Area of the City. It constitutes 3
percent of the total area of the City, which is equivalent to 131.33 hectares.
106 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Part of the watershed system located within the jurisdiction of the City will also be protected
in the next 10 years. It has an area of 51.72 hectare or 1 percent of the total area of the City.
• Finally, the Open Space area of Cabuyao, which includes the 5-meter radius of the fault, the
10-meter easement of San Cristobal River, and the 3-meter easement of other tributaries
constitute 0.30 percent of the total area of the City equivalent to 2.57 hectares.
4.4 Infrastructure Area
All areas dedicated for major infrastructure and utility systems fall under the Infrastructure Area
classification. This classification includes infrastructure types such as transportation facilities and
utilities, economic, social, and administrative infrastructures.
Infrastructure projects include the construction of additional roads, widening of existing roads, and
socio-economic infrastructures such as hospital, health centers, schools, training and livelihood
centers, sport facilities, evacuation centers, government offices, among others. It also includes areas
for expansion of cemetery, provision of centralized parking, and waste management such as
material recovery facility (MRF) and sewage treatment plant (STP). By the end of the planning
period, Infrastructure Area will increase by 27.30 percent to make it 483.35 hectares from the
existing of 379.68 hectares.

5.0 Land Use and Water Policies and Major Development

Programs
This chapter weaves together the data gathered and analyzed the issues raised and deliberated
during the series of workshops; the expressions of the citizens’ aspirations vis-à-vis their realization
of the actual conditions of the City of Cabuyao; and the outputs of all planning activities conducted
in the past. Using the chosen spatial strategy as the organizing concept, this chapter translates these
learning and insights into a draft CLUP.
The CLUP’s four (4) component parts correspond to the major land use policy areas of settlements,
production, protection, and infrastructure areas. These four (4) policy areas put together will leave
no portion of the City territory without any covering policy, hence the term comprehensive. It also
aligns the City’s CLUP with the higher-level physical framework plans (NPFP, RPFP and PPFP).
To facilitate translation into the Zoning Ordinance, a comprehensive discussion of the policy areas in
terms of policy/legislation and development programs is presented in this chapter with the
indicative location of each policy area; however, a more detailed delineation of each policy area will
have to be made for purposes of zoning.
The desired intervention for each policy area is further classified into two (2) categories:
programs/projects and policy/legislation. The proposed policy/legislation will guide the Sangguniang
Panlungsod in determining what other legislative measures, in addition to the Zoning Ordinance,
they need to enact to support the implementation of the CLUP. The proposed programs/projects, on
the other hand, would be a good reference for the City Development Council in its preparation of
annual and multi-year public investment program.
5.1 Policies and Major Development Programs for Settlement Areas
Cabuyao’s settlement areas comprise primarily of the residential portion of the built environment.
They encompass all self-built housing sites, private subdivisions, socialized/public housing facilities,
and transient housing facilities. The general policies for settlement areas are the following:
• To accommodate the projected increase in population of the City, portion of agricultural and
open areas adjacent to existing residential developments will be converted into residential
zone;
• Maximize utilization of land through densification to minimize land conversion, facilitate

delivery of services, and enhance transportation flow;
• Development or construction of residential units along and within the
113 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
environmentally-constrained areas, easements, setbacks, and buffer zones shall be

prohibited. Informal residential units currently occupying the said areas will be resettled;
and
• All residential developments will be allowed to a maximum height of 18 meters (6 storeys)

regardless of location.
• For each residential type, the following policies are to be observed:
6.3.1 Self-built Houses
For self-built houses, the current density of 21 to 65 houses per hectare shall be maintained. Self-
built houses are allowed in all residential and commercial subzones. Public action will focus on the
enforcement of relevant provisions of the National Building Code. The Zoning Ordinance will provide
supplemental guidelines on such requirements such as setbacks, firewalls, open space, building
height and bulk, among others. To facilitate compliance, the Zoning Ordinance and its corresponding
IRR will be widely disseminated through implementation of creative information and education
campaign activities.
5.1.2 Private Subdivisions
For simple subdivisions involving areas less than a hectare in size, legislative action will focus on the
formulation of development guidelines indicating minimum requirements for all types of land
subdivision and development covering the following aspects: right-of-way, setbacks, lot sizes,
utilities systems, open space requirement, among others.
For complex subdivisions with areas of more than a hectare, public action will focus on the proper
enforcement and implementation of the provisions of Presidential Decree No. 957 and Batas
Pambansa No. 220.
All future private subdivision developments should adopt zoning classification for R-1 (Low Density
Residential). Restrictions on allowable uses and density should be strictly observed. For all existing
and future private subdivisions, development guidelines specified in PD 957 and other existing laws
related to subdivision development should be strictly enforced. Provision of Road Right of Way
(RROW) for basic utility services, necessary setbacks and easements, and open space requirement
should be observed accordingly.
5.1.3 Socialized/Public Housing
Due to influx of population from other LGUs as an effect of the resettlement programs of provincial
and national governments, the City Government of Cabuyao shall no longer accommodate any
resettlement initiatives from outside the City of Cabuyao. The City will prioritize the resettlement of
its residents who live in danger zones and environmentally-constrained areas, and the housing
projects for the employees of the City Government of Cabuyao.
114 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
In the implementation of these programs, the City shall formulate development guidelines in
resettlement sites touching aspects such as permitted uses, conditional uses, open space ratio,
firewalls, setbacks, fencing, building height/bulk limits, safety requirements, access, architectural
style, drainage and sanitation systems, and parking, among others. These development guidelines
will guide future shelter and resettlement developments in areas to be identified by the City
Government. There is also a need to require all housing projects to be accessible to transport lines
and other facilities like school, church, water, power, and protective services.
For existing socialized housing project, the City has to partner with financing agencies such as SSS,
GSIS, and Pag-ibig for amortization of housing units. A memorandum of agreement has to be
entered into for this purpose.
In recognition that the City Government is financially-constrained to invest on housing projects, it

will encourage/entice subdivision projects offering low-cost housing units. However, if funding
warrants, the City Government may acquire land for future City Government-initiated housing
projects (by purchase, donation, and expropriation). The City Government may enter into joint
venture or public-private partnership and may consider implementing the following:
• Housing Assistance Program – Provision of credit/loan to middle and low income families
through SSS/GSIS/Pag-ibig
• Socialized Housing Development Program – Construction of socialized housing
• Land Banking Program – Acquiring/Purchasing of private lots to be used for socialized

housing
5.1.4 Transient Housing
This type of housing which includes among others, hotel, motel, condotel, apartment, and appartelle
plays a significant function in the urban environment and in the development of ecotourism
destinations, as it caters to the City’s teeming population of tourists and other transients who seek
accommodation for a limited period in Cabuyao. Housing facilities in this type shall be allowed in all
residential and commercial subzones except in low-density residential zone.
Public action will cover the formulation of development guidelines for transient housing to ensure
their comfort, convenience, and safety. These guidelines will cover such aspects as minimum room
size, maximum occupancy, lighting and ventilation, fire exits and safety equipment, parking and
open space, and gender-sensitive facilities, among others.
115 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
5.2 Policies and Major Development Programs for Production Areas
Production areas are those with relatively few constraints to their continuing use for production
purposes. These areas are capable of sustaining intensive and multiple uses primarily intended for
the production of food and cash crops or the extraction of natural resources for their economic
value. Although these are not covered by existing conservation laws or policies, proper management
practices must accompany their utilization at all times so that these resources may continue to
provide socially desired outcomes without getting degraded or depleted. Through this CLUP, the
production areas of Cabuyao City will be used and managed according to sound environmental and
cultural practices. The production areas in the City include the commercial, industrial, and
agricultural areas.
5.2.1 Agricultural Areas
These agricultural areas will also form part of the City’s network of open spaces that serve as the
“green lungs” of the built-up environment. These areas will be maintained as much as possible to
serve as buffer zones between built environments, especially industrial activities. In case of
conversion, the City Government should conform to the provisions of R.A. 7160 (Local Government
Code of 1991) on land conversion.
The general policy for these areas is to maximize productivity through crop diversification and shift
into organic farming, taking advantage of the terrain, the remaining large vast tracts of agricultural
land, and the existing irrigation system and facilities. The City Government of Cabuyao shall also tap
LLDA for possible source of water from Laguna de Bay for irrigation purposes.
The low land barangays of Marinig, Gulod, Baclaran, and San Isidro, will specialize on rice production
and diversified with other crops such as squash, watermelon, garlic, and upo during dry season.
Barangay Casile in upland area will focus on mixed agricultural crops organic farming and eco-
tourism activities.
Owners of agricultural lands will be encouraged to invest in high value crop production through
government-initiated programs that provide them subsidies and facilitate marketing tie-ups with big
processing companies. Change in approach in production such as shift from traditional to organic
farming will be highly encouraged and supported.
To sustain and enhance crop productivity, the City Government of Cabuyao shall focus on
strengthening the institutional support to farmers. These supports shall include but not limited to
crop subsidy, credit/financing program for farmers, creation of and support to farmer cooperatives
and POs, crop diversification and development, improvement of irrigation facilities, construction of
farm products warehouse, and tie-up with big processing companies for product marketing.
Legislative action will focus on encouraging landowners to make their lands productive
116 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
again through the enactment of special levies on idle lands and ordinances that support public-
private partnerships in agricultural development.
5.2.2 Commercial Areas
The whole area of Barangays Uno, Dos, Tres, portion of Sala, and Banlic, and 100 meters on both
sides of national and provincial road traversing the City of Cabuyao will be the center of business
and commerce in the City. These areas shall be used principally for mixed-use and commercial
development intended for the community or the City’s needs as well as the province and the region.
Commercial activities allowed in these areas include wholesale and retail trade, banking and finance,
personal and community services, transportation and telecommunication, tourism-related uses, and
the like. Likewise, 50 meters on both sides of Pulo-Diezmo Road, Gulod-San Isidro Road, and
Poblacion-Marinig Road shall be classified as commercial area (low density). These areas shall be
intended for commercial needs of the community such as personal service shops, restaurants and
other food-serving establishments, short term special education, services stations, clinics, and the
like.
All commercial developments within these areas shall conform to provisions of the National Building
Code in terms of easements, setbacks, lighting and ventilation, fire exits and safety equipment,
parking and open spaces, and provision of utilities; and Zoning Ordinance in terms of location,
building height, and allowable uses.
To encourage commercial development in the area, the City, with the assistance of the province or
national government shall invest on construction/rehabilitation of the rail system, construction of
new roads, concreting of unpaved roads, and widening of all NIA Roads within the City.
5.2.3 Industrial Areas
All Industrial activities shall be allowed in areas west of Cabuyao National Road except those pockets
of light industrial areas in Barangays of Banclic, Pulo, and Niugan, which are located east of the
national road. Upon the adoption of this CLUP, no heavy industrial activities will be allowed to
operate in the City except those that exist at the time of the adoption of this CLUP. Provided that no
expansion will be allowed to these existing heavy industries. All future industrial developments
should adopt zoning classification for light and medium industrial zones.
The general policies for Industrial developments in the City are the following:
• Requirement on easement and buffer shall be strictly observed by the existing and future
developments. As required by P.D. 1067, the easement of Industrial zone from water
bodies shall be 100 meters. On the other hand, as agreed during the community
consultations, the buffer zone between the Industrial zone and all other zones shall be at
least 10 meters.
117 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• All pollutive and hazardous Industries shall be located away from environmentally-critical
areas such as watershed, area classified as prime agricultural land, SAFDZ, recharged area
of aquifers, potential tourist spot, among others.
• The proponent, before the issuance of development permits shall conduct technical
studies such as but not limited to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Traffic Impact
Assessment (TIA), Engineering, Geological, and Geo-hazard Assessment Report (EGGAR),
and Utility Impact Assessment (UIA).
• All developments shall comply with all the requirements of DENR and other applicable laws
for industrial developments.
• To encourage the putting up of private investments in identified industrial areas, the

Sangguniang Panlungsod shall revisit the City’s Investment Code to highlight incentives for
industry investors. The requirements for commercial activities to proliferate, in order to
attract industrial investment in Cabuyao, economic infrastructures such as transportation,
communication, and utilities shall be in place and in good condition.
5.3 Policies and Major Development Programs for Protection Areas
Protected areas or the life support systems in Cabuyao comprised of areas that are not built over but
are left in their open character because they perform their function best in that condition, i.e. as
source of fresh food, clean air, and safe water. This will also include areas that are environmentally
hazardous to human settlements.
In recognition of the vital role of open space both as an essential and life-sustaining resource and
land use that enhances and improves the overall quality of the urban environment, the City will
establish and preserve its open space system, which will comprise its protected areas. The open
space system shall be kept sufficiently vegetated for these areas to perform ecological services as
carbon sink and contribute to rainwater infiltration and aquifer recharge, to serve as protection
buffers around hazardous areas and infrastructures, and to be a source of opportunities for
recreation. Cabuyao’s open space system shall be composed of the following:
5.3.1 Buffers, setbacks, and legal easements
Buffer zones in Cabuyao include the 5-meter buffer on both sides the fault located in Barangay
Casile, 10-meter buffer of two conflicting land uses, and the 100-meter buffer between the Laguna
Lake and the built-up area of five barangays namely, Bigaa, Butong, Marinig, Gulod, and Baclaran.
The City shall also observed setback requirement in each structure/development as prescribed by
the National Building Code as shown in Table 5.1.

In terms of easement, the City Government of Cabuyao shall strictly enforce and shall adopt as part
of the CLUP the provision of PD 1067 or the Water Code of the Philippines. Specifically, Article 51 of
the code states that:
“The banks of rivers and streams and the shores of the seas and lakes throughout their entire length
and within a zone of three (3) meters in urban areas, twenty (20) meters in agricultural areas, and
forty (40) meters in forest areas, along their margins, are subject to the easement of public use in the
interest of recreation, navigation, floatage, fishing and salvage. No person shall be allowed to stay in
this zone longer than what is necessary for recreation, navigation, floatage, or salvage or to build
structures of any kind.”
To better guide human activities on the easement areas and to be able to ensure for the San
Cristobal River and its tributaries to perform their ecological function, the following strategies and
policies shall be implemented:
• Enforce the implementation of Article 51 of the Water Code to recover and or protect
legal easements.
• Reclaim riverbanks/creeks that have been destroyed or built-upon.
• Prohibit the construction of permanent structures along the riverbank.
• Redevelop portions of the bank/creeks into public open spaces such as linear parks.
• Protect the riverbank through tree planting and riverside/creekside vegetative protection.
• Ensure that riverside constructions along riverside roads should be at the side away from
the river and not on the river.

CABUYAO, LAGUNA
5.3.2 Lands for water supply such as ground water recharge areas, watershed reservoir
sites
Cabuyao has a watershed located in Barangay Casile, which serves as source of water for the
community. In the next 10 years, this area will be protected and no activity and development shall
be allowed except those intended for scientific exploration or for the protection of the watershed.
The City shall coordinate with the adjacent LGU of Calamba in managing the area.
5.3.3 Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zone (SAFDZ)
Cabuyao City maintains about 225.83 hectares or 5 percent of the total area of the City as SAFDZ.
Located in Barangays Marinig and Gulod, the SAFDZ area shall be protected in the next 10 years. No
conversion shall be allowed during this period, and the management and use of this zone shall be in
accordance to the provisions of R.A. 8435 or the Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA)
of the Philippines.
5.3.4 Agricultural lands
The City’s agricultural land which is composed of irrigated rice land located predominantly in the
barangays of Marinig, Gulod, Baclaran, and San Isidro shall not be converted into urban land uses
and shall be conserved to support a policy of maintaining some degree of self-sufficiency in rice. If
inevitable due to the rapid urbanization, conversion shall be allowed only after 5 years from the
adoption of this CLUP. Furthermore, conversion shall be in accordance to the provision of the R.A
7160 on land conversion. Specific guidelines on conversion shall be stated in the Zoning Ordinance.
5.3.5 Parks, recreational areas, and other open spaces
Parks, recreational areas, and other open spaces play a vital role in health, welfare and well-being,
provide visual amenity, and promote public safety. In order to ensure that the City’s open space will
not be threatened by urban development and expansion, these spaces will be preserved and
protected. Through this CLUP, open space is recognized as a vital component of an orderly urban
environment that serves many irreplaceable functions. In establishing and expanding the City’s
network of open spaces, the LGU will have to adopt the following measures:
• Conduct comprehensive inventory of existing and potential open spaces covering both
public and private lands.
• Develop planning parameters with emphasis on linkage and continuity.
• Consolidate past policies, plans, and programs that are still relevant to the formulation
and adoption of open space development program.
120 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Cultivate mass support for open space preservation.
• Integrate into the local building code innovative approaches so that building
developments become essential components of the Cabuyao’s open space system.
• Integrate open spaces into the City’s proposed road system development.
• Adopt a policy of cooperation and collaboration with concerned landowners to monitor

and guide future action or decision to protect, conserve or develop these resources.
Formulate incentive packages for voluntary open space conservation arrangements
between landowners and the local government. Acquire open spaces for public
recreational purposes.
• Refocus preservation on the following open spaces: natural drainage corridors and
waterways, flood prone areas, existing parks and playgrounds, aquifer and recharge
areas.
Parks, recreational areas, and other open spaces in Cabuyao City, which play a vital role in health,
welfare and well-being of the residents and provide visual amenity, and promote public safety,
include the following:
• Golf course in Barangays Casile and Pittland

• Cemeteries and memorial parks in Barangays Tres and Mamatid
• Parks, play lots, neighborhood parks and playgrounds distributed around the City
• Campuses and other institutional facilities around the City that provide recreational values
• Walks, trails, tracks for hiking, jogging, riding, and bicycling
• Sports fields for outdoor recreation
• Roads and highways providing scenic views
• Cultural centerpieces such as natural and man-made landmarks
• Landscaped gardens
• Plant nurseries and farms
• Open spaces that provide neighborhood and barangay identity
• Open spaces that serve as separators or buffers between conflicting land uses and,
between and around buildings such as greenbelts, greenways, wedges, corridor
separators, strip buffers, area buffers, etc.
• Power transmission line routes
• Planting strips, road island, and sidewalks
Areas in the City taken up by infrastructure to connect and support the settlement and production
areas are known as infrastructure support areas. In Cabuyao, this policy area is made-up of its
economic infrastructures, road network and utilities, and institutional/administrative and social
service facilities.

5.4 Policies and Major Development Programs for Infrastructures Areas
As a general policy, all infrastructure developments shall conform to the provisions of the National
Building Code in terms of firewalls, setbacks, fencing, bulk limits, safety requirements, ingress and
egress, architectural style, lighting and ventilation, parking and open space, and gender-sensitive
facilities, among others. In terms of size, the standards specified in the HLURB guidelines shall be
considered. All infrastructure developments shall also conform to the Zoning Ordinance in terms of
permitted uses, conditional uses, building height, and location.
Technical studies such as but not limited to Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), Traffic Impact
Assessment (TIA), Engineering, Geological, and Geo-hazard Assessment Report (EGGAR), and Utility
Impact Assessment (UIA) shall be conducted before the implementation of major infrastructure
development. No economic, social, and institutional/administrative infrastructures shall be
constructed along or near environmentally-constrained areas such fault zone, hazard prone areas,
and within the areas delineated as setback, buffer, and easement.
The following are the policies on the proposed infrastructure projects of City of Cabuyao to be
implemented in the next 10 years.
5.4.1 Road Networks and Utilities
• Widening and rehabilitation of NIA roads. All NIA roads with width below the standard
shall be widened to make it at least two lanes (15 meters). Unpaved and dilapidated roads
shall be improved and concreted/asphalted. Drainage system shall also be
improved/provided along with the road improvement.
• Bridge widening. Along with the widening of the roads, all affected bridges shall also be
widened accordingly.
• Road construction and opening. To facilitate mobility in the City and to ease traffic
problem, some roads will be constructed and opened particularly in Barangay Diezmo. As
anticipation to the Expressway-Dike project, portions of barangay Gulod and Marinig will
be reserved for road construction. The alignment of the proposed road shall be directed to
the location of the proposed exits within Cabuyao.
• Improvement of Irrigation Systems. Dilapidated irrigation facilities will be rehabilitated

to continuously supply the remaining prime agricultural lands and SAFDZ of the City. The
City government of Cabuyao shall also coordinate with the LLDA on the possible sourcing of
water from Laguna Lake for irrigation purposes.
• Construction of Retaining Wall and Slope Protection. To prevent destruction of the

riverbanks due to strong current of water during heavy rains, and to prevent flooding in
areas along the rivers, the City Government shall construct retaining walls and slope
protection in areas identified as critical.
,
122 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Provision of wastewater treatment. The City shall formulate a masterplan for wastewater
management in the entire City. Legislative action will entail the enactment of a local
sanitation ordinance and increase penalties for violators. It will also include the creation of
a plantilla position for a sanitary engineer who will serve as a member of the staff of the
building official. Public action will focus on regular inventory and monitoring of all
sewerage and sanitation facilities and check compliance with Sanitation Code, Plumbing
and Water Codes. To ensure proper maintenance of drainage system along national and
provincial roads, close coordination with concerned agencies on the conduct of regular
maintenance works has to be fostered. While the masterplan and ordinance are not yet
available, all existing and future major developments shall be required to provide their
own sewage treatment plant. Health facilities like hospitals and other large clinics shall
also be required to have their wastewater treatment facility.
5.4.2 Economic Infrastructure
• Establishment of Centralized Transport Terminal. For an effective traffic management, the

City Government shall establish a Centralized Transport Terminal, which shall be located
away from the downtown area to prevent traffic congestion in the center. The terminal
shall be large enough to accommodate all modes of transportation such as buses,
jeepneys, other PUVs, and tricycles.
• Construction of farm products warehouse. Despite having vast areas of prime agricultural
lands, post-harvest facilities such as warehouses and storage facilities are still inadequate.
As form of incentive for farmers, the City, in partnership with private sector and/or NGOs
shall invest in the establishment post-harvest facilities especially warehouses. These
warehouses shall be located near the source and should be accessible.
• Construction of animal evacuation center. In times of disasters, the City should have an
area where livestock and poultry can be temporarily housed. Location of this facility shall
be away from the residential area.
5.4.3 Social Infrastructure
• Housing Program for Informal Settler Families and Employees of the City Government of
Cabuyao. All housing developments shall consider the policies specified in the previous
discussion on Socialized/Public Housing. ISF from outside the city will not be
accommodated.
123 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Construction of additional school buildings. To accommodate additional increase in

student population and ensure that there would be enough space to accommodate
projected student population, expansion of existing schools through vertical development
will be encouraged. Priority shall be given to the construction of a Science High school and
a school building for Alternative Learning System (ALS). The local legislation will also
ensure that all schools are flood-free, i.e. elevated and provided with efficient drainage
system.
• Putting up of Museum/Library. In recognition of the role of the City in the Province of

Laguna, and national history and inline with the thrust of Cabuyao to preserve and
promote local history and heritage, legislative action will include the allocation of local
funds for the establishment of a Museum and creation of the position of a museum
curator. A program to modernize existing public libraries in the City and establishment of
new ones will also be adopted.
• Establishment of protective services facilities. This will include fire protection and peace
and order facilities, disaster management system, and traffic management system that will
be situated in strategic and visible locations to facilitate service delivery. Expansion of
lock-up cell/ jail and police station, and establishment of crisis center for youth will also be
prioritized by the City Government.
• Construction of evacuation centers. To further enhance its disaster response and

management capability, the City will prioritize the construction of evacuation center in
each of the barangay in accordance with its DRMM Plan. Evacuation center shall be free
from any environmental hazards such as earthquake, flooding, and landslide. It should also
be accessible by any modes of transportation.
• Sports Complex and Recreation Center. To address the need for sport facilities and
recreational areas for the residents of Cabuyao, the City Government shall purchase land
intended for such purpose. The City shall prioritize construction of these facilities, as these
will also serve other purposes such as evacuation center.
• Construction of hospital, barangay health stations, and other health facilities. The existing
hospital of Cabuyao shall be rehabilitated and its medical equipment including beds shall
be improved/augmented. At the same time, it is the priority of the City Government to
construct a new tertiary hospital for the residents who cannot afford the cost of
hospitalization and medical services in the private hospitals. Construction of new hospital
shall be in accordance with standards set
124 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
by the national building code, HLURB guidelines, and guidelines set by the Department of
Health (DOH) and World Health Organization (WHO). Likewise, to address the basic
medical needs of the residents of each barangay, the City Government shall establish at
least one (1) Barangay Health Station (BHS) per barangay. Each BHS shall be equipped with
medical equipment and manned by a health practitioner. The City shall also invest in
construction of birthing facilities to accommodate the increasing number of deliveries in
the City and to reduce the number of mothers who gave birth at home and attended by
non-medical practitioners like hilot.
5.4.4 Institutional/Administrative
• Redevelopment of the Government Center Zone. The government center zone, which
covers the current seat of the city government, will be redeveloped to include
construction of new city hall. The new city hall of the City of the Cabuyao shall
accommodate all offices of the City and offices of national government agencies,
otherwise all government agencies shall be relocated outside of the City hall. All income-
generating offices such as the Office of the City Assessor, Business Permits Licensing
Office, City Civil Registrar, and Office of the Treasures shall be provided with larger offices
and shall be accessible to the clients. As the center of government, no development within
the government center zone shall be constructed higher than the Cabuyao City Hall. As
much as possible the new City Hall/office shall be certified as green building.
• Establishment of Materials Recovery Facility. For an environment friendly Cabuyao, the

LGU will establish and develop materials recovery program that will cater waste
management activities. The MRF will create job opportunities and additional revenue
5.5 Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM)
As a signatory to the Hyogo Framework for Action, the country needs to align itself with
international standards through reforms in its institutions, policies, and legal frameworks for disaster
risk management. This emphasizes the paradigm shift from response orientation to pro-active
disaster risk reduction approaches. The disaster preparedness and mitigation measures shall be
underscored rather than dealing with emergency or post-disaster response.
As a response to the Hyogo Framework for Action, the National Law and Framework on DRRM was
put in place. The Republic Act 10121, or the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act
of 2010, was approved last March 27, 2010 to strengthen the Philippine DRRM System and provide
for the National DRRM Framework and institutionalize the NDRRM Plan.
In compliance with Section 12 of the Act, the City Government of Cabuyao has created its City
Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (CDRRMO) and funding was appropriated for its
operation starting fiscal year 2011. The City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
(CDRRMC) was also organized to spearhead all activities in the City related to disaster risk reduction
and management. Specifically, the CDRRMC has the following mandates:
125 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Approve, monitor and evaluate the implementation of the City Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Plan and annually review, test and develop the plan consistent with
other national and local planning programs;
• Ensure the integration of disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptable into local
development plans, programs and budgets as a strategy in sustainable development and
poverty reduction;
• Recommend the implementation of forced or pre-emptive evacuation of local residents, if

necessary; and
• Convene the Barangay Development Councils (BDCs) serving as the Local Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Councils as provided for by law.
In the same year, its first DRRM Plan was adopted on May 25, 2011 with the following objectives:
• To uphold the people’s rights to life and property by addressing the root causes of
vulnerabilities to disaster, strengthening the City’s institutional capacity for disaster risk
reduction and management, and building the resilience of barangays to disasters including
climate change impacts;
• To develop, promote and implement a comprehensive City Disaster Risk Reduction and
Management Plan; and
• To adopt and implement a coherent, comprehensive, integrated, efficient and responsive

disaster risk reduction program.
126 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
Figure 5.1: Organizational Structure of the CDRRMC
127 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
As part of the requirement of the law, the City shall also formulate and regularly update its
Contingency Plan. The Plan shall contain inventory of existing resources, projection of the needs
especially during disasters, and list of strategies, policies, programs, and activities.
5.5.1 Inventory of Resources
The City shall conduct an inventory of material and non-material resources available in the City that
could be used during disasters. Material resources pertains to the materials that could be used to
keep the people protected, fed and cared for, while non-material resources are skills of some
residents, which are essential during the onset of a disaster.
• As a general policy, all schools, barangay halls, covered courts, and day care centers shall
serve as evacuation centers in times of disasters. Hence, construction of future
infrastructure projects like these shall be located in areas safe from any natural hazards
such as fault zone, landslide, liquefaction, and flood.
• The City Government of Cabuyao shall tap NGOs and POs in the City such as the Philippine
Red Cross, Kabalikat Civicom, Rotary Circle, and Glory Guys Limited for possible assistance
during the events. Meetings and coordination with these NGOs/POs shall be done
regularly.
5.5.2 Needs Projection
The need to be prepared and be sufficient is imperative for the City to be fully functional and
confident in times of disasters. In this light, the amount and volume of materials needed to provide
for the basic needs of the people should be ready and fully provided. As part of the plan, the City
shall also conduct projection based on the standards set by the Office of Civil Defense (CDC), which
will be translated to local standards and definitions for easy understanding. The basic requirements
to be prepared include foods, water, latrine, evacuation center space, shelter, blankets, and medical
supplies and equipment, among others.
The projection shall be based on the worst-case scenario disasters, which occurred in Cabuyao or in
the country in general. It should also set on the needed resources for the potential population to be
affected. The City should determine if the available resources are enough to protect or supply its
expected population when disasters strike, otherwise strategies, policies, programs, projects, and
activities shall be identify to fill-in the gaps.
5.5.3 Identification of Strategies and Activities
Based on gaps identified, the City shall identify strategies, policies, programs, projects, and activities
to fill those gaps. In identifying the strategies, the four thematic areas of disaster management
namely, Mitigation/Prevention, Preparedness, Response, and Recovery shall be considered.
128 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Mitigation/Prevention. This covers measures that provide permanent protection

from disasters or reduce the intensity/frequency of hazardous event so that it will
not become a disaster.
• Preparedness. This involves measures taken in anticipation of a disaster to ensure

that appropriate and effective actions are taken during the emergency.
• Response. These are measures undertaken to ensure survival and prevent further
deterioration of the situation.
• Recovery. These are sets of operation and decisions taken after a disaster with a
view to restoring a stricken community to its former living conditions, while
encouraging and facilitating the necessary adjustments to the changes caused by
the disaster.

5.6 Climate Change Adaption
Like other LGUs in the Philippines, Cabuyao City is also prone to hydro-metrological hazards. Based
on historical records from 2000 up to the present, the City of Cabuyao has already experienced
hazards such as strong winds and floods due to typhoons namely, Milenyo, Ondoy, Pepeng, Basyang,
and Glenda. Enhanced monsoon rainfall also caused some parts of the City to submerge due to flood
particularly those that are located along Laguna Lake. Aside from typhoons and enhanced monsoon
rainfall, the City has also suffered prolonged drought or El Niño in 2009, which affected hectares of
agricultural lands.
To address this problem in general, the national government has crafted the National Framework
Strategy on Climate Change for 2010-2022 to ensure and strengthen the adaptation of the natural
ecosystems and human communities to climate change not only of Cabuyao City but also of the
entire country. It highlights the importance of adaptation, which needs to be translated to all levels
of governance to form climate-resilient communities. It provides guidance in the national and sub-
national development planning processes, specifically the formulation of the Local Climate Change
Action Plans at the local level and the integration in the CLUPs and CDPs (Figure 5.3).

6.0 IMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIES OF THE

This final chapter of the CLUP presents all major policies, programs, projects, and activities (PPPAs)
to be undertaken by the City Government of Cabuyao in partnership with all its stakeholders in order
to realize its vision and desired urban form in the next 10 years. This part also defines the role of the
City Government in orchestrating development efforts through optimum exercise of its legal
authority, which can influence, direct, or control public and private investments towards the
achievement of the desired pattern and direction of development. Among the most useful of these
authorities are 1) the power to regulate development derived from the inherent police power of the
state through the enactment and enforcement of zoning ordinance; 2) the power to spend public
funds through the local development investment program (LDIP) and its annual investment program
(AIP); and 3) the authority to guide private investments through private investment incentives
policies.
Finally, this part determines the phasing of implementation of the identified PPPAs to be done for
the duration of 10 years; capacity building program for concerned office personnel who are involved
in the implementation of CLUP and enforcement of Zoning Ordinance; social preparation of the
population; and the mechanisms on how monitor, evaluate, and update the CLUP.
6.1 Mandate of the City Government to implement the CLUP
6.1.1 The Zoning Ordinance
The LGU has the power to regulate developments within its jurisdiction through the enactment and
enforcement of zoning ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance translates CLUP into a legal document.
Land use classifications specified in the CLUP are being translated into zone boundaries. These zones
have certain provisions that will help the City in regulating the developments. Since the CLUP is the
plan for the management of local territories implemented through a zoning ordinance, this function
is pursuant to LGU’s status as a political unit. Hence, the adoption of the CLUP and its enactment
into a Zoning Ordinance are planning functions exercised exclusively by the Sangguniang Panlungsod
(RA7160, Section 20c, 447, 458, 468). This devolved function is being exercised by LGUs on behalf of
the national state, which is directed by the Constitution to “…regulate the ownership, acquisition,
use and disposition of property…” (Art. XIII, Sec. 1).
In addition to the legal mandate of the City Government to use zoning as a regulatory tool to
promote social justice and to safeguard the common good, there are also positive developmental
benefits accruing to society from zoning such as the following:
• Promotion of the optimum use of land based on suitability (e.g. the continued use of
prime agricultural land for agriculture purposes);
•
• Enhancement of public health and safety; ensuring convenience of access, and
protection of the people and the environment by making sure that adjoining land
uses are compatible;
133 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Preservation of the desired distinct character and corollary, the real estate values in
a particular district or zone;
• Mitigate the adverse effects of development decisions and actions that resulted
from the inappropriate location, use or design of land, sites and structures;
• Fostering an overall rationality and orderliness in the pattern of growth of the

community consistent with the chosen urban form; and
• Facilitating involvement of the City Government’s stakeholders in the

implementation and monitoring of the plan and ordinance.
In view of these mandates and benefits of zoning and upon approval and adoption of this CLUP, the
Sangguniang Panlungsod of Cabuyao shall initiate the process of enacting a new Zoning Ordinance,
repealing and replacing the existing one. The new Zoning Ordinance contains new features that are
not present in the existing one such as the following:
• Expansion of Residential Area. In response to the increasing population of the City,

residential area particularly in urban barangay such as Bigaa and Butong will be
expanded. Existing open spaces and agricultural areas in these barangays shall be
converted into urban uses to accommodate the population in the next 10 years.
• Expansion of Commercial Area. To complement with the increase in residential area,

commercial area will be expanded to include both sides of all major roads
particularly those closed to the poblacion area. Likewise, to balance the growth, a
concentration of commercial activities will be encouraged in the southern part of
the City particular in Barangay Banlic.
• Expansion of Industrial Area. The residents of Cabuyao envisioned the City as an

industrialized city comes 2026. To realize this, the new Zoning Ordinance will expand
the current industrial area to include those located at the western side of Cabuyao
National Road.
Building density limit and height regulation. The current density of the City is medium.
With the new zoning ordinance, residential area in rural barangays shall be
maintained as medium density. For newly major residential development, only low
density will be allowed. All developments shall not exceed to the allowable height
limit of 18 meters.
• Declaring the 100-meter buffer zone of Laguna Lake as Waterfront Development

Zone. To maintain the buffer zone of Laguna Lake and to prevent the impact of
flooding due to water level rise during heavy rains, the entire easement of the lake
in Cabuyao is declared as Waterfront Development Zone (WDZ). This zone shall be
used primarily for outdoor park and related activities and supporting commercial,
cultural, entertainment, and tourist-oriented developments.
134 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Delineating the Poblacion Area as the Central Business District (CBD) of the City. The
City identified the poblacion area composed 4 barangays namely, Uno, Dos, Tres and
Sala as its center for commercial activities. This zone shall be used principally for
mixed-use and commercial development intended for the community or the City’s
needs as well as the Province or the Region.
• Delineating area for Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zones (SAFDZ).
As mandated by law and to ensure food security, the City Government will retain
some portion of the City to be protected and use primarily for crop production. This
will serve as a center where development in the agriculture are catalyzed in an
environmentally and socio-culturally sound manner. Located in Barangay
Marinigand Barangay Gulod, allowable uses in this zone are limited to cultivation,
culture, production and processing of particular crops such as rice, and the like.
Aside from the new features, the new Zoning Ordinance ensures that the following elements are
satisfied:
• Conformity to the guidelines of HLURB and other standards related to land use
planning and land development;
• Reflective of recent developments and aspirations of the people. The CLUP, which
serves as the basis of the existing Zoning Ordinance has changed in concept, form
and content and has evolved into the present CLUP. The land use categories and
land uses, as well as the growth nodes have also been modified; hence, the zoning
classification will also be altered accordingly.
• Improvement in the implementation mechanisms through the following:
o Institutionalization and functioning of Cabuyao Zoning Board of Adjustment

and Appeals (PZBAA) and the Local Zoning Review Committee (LZRC).
o Institutionalization and functioning of a Zoning Division and

designation of a Zoning Officer who shall act as the enforcer of the ordinance
on behalf of the City Mayor.
o Imposition of penalties to those who violated the Zoning Ordinance

including those who undertake any improvement/development on their
properties without corresponding zoning permits/locational clearances.
For the purpose of repealing the existing Zoning Ordinance, a draft of the new Zoning Ordinance and
its corresponding Zoning Map (Figure 6.1) were prepared based on this CLUP for reference by the
Sangguniang Panlungsod.

6.1.2 Public Investment Programming
Zoning ensures that developments are located in the right place by subjecting all of these to zoning
regulation; however, these developments emanate from the private sector and are not always the
right type that complement achievements of desired spatial strategy. Hence, public investment is a
must to supplement zoning.
Investment in public infrastructure such as roads, bridges, public buildings, and utilities is a powerful
tool to shape and direct local development in accordance with the preferred spatial strategy
specified in the CLUP, as these facilities have the potential to shape the pattern of land use for years.
Public facilities can also shape development as they attract private investments in the same
direction. The synergistic effect created when both the public and private sectors are investing will
result to higher levels of social and economic well-being of the population in the community.
The preparation of the medium term and Annual Public Investment Program is one of the functions
of the City Development Council as mandated in the LGC (Sec. 109, a, 2). The public investment
programming is an intermediate process that links the development plan to the city budget. With a
functional LDIP translated into its annual investment program (AIP), local budgets can truly
operationalize the approved local development plan as directed by the Code (Sec. 305, i).
The concept of investment in public finance has almost the same meaning as in private or household
finance. It consists of that portion of income that is retained after satisfying all the expenses
necessary for the upkeep of the household or for running the affairs of the organization. In the case
of firms, the claims of investors for dividends must be paid as well as taxes, before “savings” can be
realized and converted into investments. In the case of the local government, investment is what is
left after deducting all expenses necessary to run the government machinery, to satisfy the claims of
creditors if public debt has been incurred, and to comply with statutory reserves. Hence, all public
investment programs should be in support of the CLUP and the choice of programs and projects to
be included in the three-year LDIP and the AIP should be guided by the following principles:
a. Prioritize investment programs with strong spatial impact. All programs and projects in
the LDIP and AIP should support the realization of the desired spatial strategy in the
CLUP. These programs/projects should be chosen according to their potential to shape
and direct the physical development of the City in accordance with the preferred spatial
strategy. Likewise, priority programming through project screening and phasing should
be done by the City following a set of guidelines/criteria.
b. Public investments should be made strategic. In addition to improved public services,

public investment projects must able to influence or advance huge private investments
in order to accelerate and expand the community’s capital build-up thereby, multiplying
the benefits that will accrue to the people.
c. c. A creative fund-sourcing scheme should be established. Investment programming

should avoid the conservative approach of restricting the number and nature of
projects/programs based on available funds from regular resources. Investment
programming should consider raising additional revenue from non-traditional sources
d.
137 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
such as improving collection efficiency in certain items where the City tends to under
perform, by strict and judicious watch on public spending, by tapping unutilized revenue
raising powers such as imposing special levies on real property, and by exploring the
feasibility of applying the various modes of credit financing as enumerated in Book II,
Title Four, Sections 295-303 of the LGC. The City Government may also venture with
various government enterprises such as operating markets, utilities, among others.
d. Encourage public-private partnership. In recognition of the scarce resources of the local

government, capital intensive may be done in partnership with the private sector that
has a broader financial resource base. This is also in support of the Public-Private-
Partnership Program of the National Government.
e. Open, participatory and consultative process of prioritizing public investments.

Opportunity should be given to all sectors and areas of the City’s constituency to have
their ideas heard on all matters that affect their lives. The open and participatory
approach used in the preparation of the CLUP must be institutionalized and ensured to
be followed in the selection, prioritization, implementation, monitoring and evaluation
of public investments. Sectoral Committees to take responsibility in the following must
be established: 1) Local Economic Development; 2) Social Development; 3) Infrastructure
and Land Use Development; 4) Environmental Management; and 5) Institutional
Development. These sectoral committees will serve as the mechanism to build in
participation and consultation and as channels for bringing in technical inputs as well as
ideas, feelings and aspirations of the people into the development plan and investment
programs. An executive order or some such formal issuance is needed to institutionalize
the sectoral committees to cover the entire term of the incumbent administration. The
City Planning and Development Office shall also assign at least one (1) dedicated staff for
the sectoral committees to properly coordinate their activities.
138 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
6.1.3 Guided Private Investment
It is recognized that there is scarce resources available for the City Government; hence, a guided
private investments is being advocated. The private sector is in possession of big investible
resources, which is much greater than that of the public sector especially at the local level.
Also, guided private investments are necessary since if left unguided, may lead to unsatisfactory
social outcomes. Private investors usually do not give primary consideration to the general welfare
as a factor in their decision-making. State intervention in private investment decisions is therefore
required to promote distributive justice, social equity, and the general welfare.
The City Development Council has been provided authority to guide private investments by Section
109 (a) (4) of the LGC through providing incentives to promote the inflow and direction of private
investment capital.
It is, therefore, recommended that the Sangguniang Panlungsod enacts a “Private Investment
Incentives Ordinance” after the City Development Council has conducted consultations and
discussions for this purpose. The said Code may include provision of incentive to business entities
that may locate on the respective growth nodes.
6.2 Phasing of the Programs
The physical development of Cabuyao within a time frame of 10 years in accordance with the CLUP
shall be segmented into four (4) phases. The four (4) phases and their underlying themes and
indicative dates are as follows:
• Phase I (2016 2018) - Institutional Development and Agro Tourism
Development
• Phase II (2019 - 2022) - Expansion of Commercial and Industrial Area

through Infrastructure Development
• Phase III (2023 2026) - Lakeshore Development
• Phase IV (2023 2026) - Full implementation of Local Shelter Plan
6.2.1 Institutional and Agro-Tourism Development
a. Institutional Development. Institutional Development will address issues and concerns of

institutional sector especially on the absence of institutional infrastructures such as
health, education, and social facilities. In the next three
(3) years, the City Government of Cabuyao will focus on the following projects:

6.2.2 Expansion of Commercial and Industrial Area through Infrastructure Development
By 2022, it is expected that Commercial and Industrial areas have already been expanded. The entire
poblacion area composed of Barangays Uno, Dos, Tres, and Sala will be purely high density
commercial. Barangay Banlic in the southern portion of the City and both sides of Cabuyao National
Road will be dominated by medium density commercial. Low density commercial will also be
proliferated in both sides of Pulo-Diezmo Road, Gulod-San Isidro Road, and Poblacion-Marinig Road.
In the same year, areas intended for Industrial zone located in the barangays of Pittland, Diezmo,
Sala, Niugan, Banaybanay, Pulo, and San Isidro, have already been utilized. To realize this, The City
Government should ensure that infrastructure and public works investments should be directed
towards these areas. In this phase, the City Government of Cabuyao will focus on the following
projects:
• Construction/rehabilitation of rail road

• Augmentation of road system
• Widening of NIA Roads
6.2.3 Lakeshore Development
The third phase, which is between 2023 and 2026, will focus on the Waterfront Development Zone.
The 100-meter easement of Laguna Lake traversing five (5) barangays, from Barangay Bigaa in the
northwest to Barangay Baclaran in the southwest will be developed into a linear park. The
development will include different components such as improvement of road network and internal
circulation, provision of various modes of transportation, promotion of commercial activities, and
maximization of the lake. Among the specific projects to be implemented during this phase are as
follow:
• Development of a 2000 sqm multipurpose economic and recreational area/port in each

barangay covered by the waterfront development zone
• Widening of roads
• Provision of bicycle lanes
• Development of Ferry System (Cabuyao – Manila and vice-versa)
• Development of Baywalk/Linear Park
6.3 Institutional Preparation of the City Government
Being the steward of development activities in the City, the City Government should acquire,
develop and enhance its capacity to manage its territory and constituency. In this section, only
institutional capability to undertake continuous planning and programming, program and project
development and management, resource generation, and development regulation are discussed.

CABUYAO, LAGUNA
6.3.1 Capacity for continuous planning and programming
Since the sectoral committees that were organized for purposes of CLUP preparation are just interim
bodies, it is recommended that the said committee structure be institutionalized and formalized
through the reorganization of Local Development Council. It is recommended that the Local
Development Council follows the recommended structure in Figure 6.2 and include the formal
establishment of sectoral committees as recommended in Table 6.1.
The creation of sectoral committees is optional but the Local Development Council of Cabuyao
should not miss the potential value of sectoral committees to give substantial inputs through their
continuing engagement in all stages of the planning and development process. These sectoral
committees, when properly created will ensure a comprehensive multi-sectoral coverage of the local
development plan and investment program. The Local Development Council should also make sure
that these committees draw membership from all societal sectors: government, private, academe,
religious, professions, and others. Even the members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, NGOs/POs,
whether accredited or not, and individuals without any group affiliations can be accommodated in
the sectoral committees. The fair cross-section of the local community and society for purposes of
planning and programming workshops or during public consultations could be obtained through
expanded sectoral committees. It should be noted however that in expanded Local Development
Council, though everyone have the privilege of a voice; only the regular members of the Local
Development Council have the privilege of a vote.

Figure 6.2: Functional Assignment of Sectoral Committees

CABUYAO, LAGUNA
To ensure the institutionalization of a cyclical planning process, the local planning body should focus
also on the strengthening of its capacity to monitor and evaluate not only of project implementation
but also of the programs and projects outcomes.
A critical factor in instituting a continuous or cyclical planning practice is the capability of the CPDO
to undertake its mandated functions. Hence, to better improve its capability to perform its
mandated functions, it is recommended that the CPDO staff and officers undergo capability building
on the following:
• Information management. It involves generation, processing, storage and retrieval of

sectoral planning information.
• Comprehensive and multi-sectoral planning. It involves preparation, update or revision

of the CLUP and the CDP.
• Investment programming. This involves pooling and prioritizing of programs and projects
from the different sectoral plans of the CDP, which are of local ownership and
responsibility to be included in the three-year LDIP and the AIP; as well as generation of
appropriate measures for attracting private investments into the locality for the
Sangguniang Panlungsod to enact.
• Public participation promotion. It refers to skills in organizing and coordinating public

consultations, seminars, workshops and other modes involving the different sectors of
society in all stages of the planning process.
• Secretariat services to the LDC. This involves keeping minutes and records, setting
agenda and related matters pertaining to the activities of the MDC.
In strengthening the CPDO, the present staff shall be maximized by assigning each person to the
function or service that best matches his/her qualifications and encouraging/supporting each staff to
pursue further formal education in planning and related fields.
6.3.2 Capability in program and project management
Since the CPDO was created to concentrate on performing its various planning and programming
tasks, it shall be freed from involvement in project implementation. Project management and
implementation should be the concern of the operating units. This will necessitate capability
building activities for operating units and in all aspects of project development and management.
This will prepare them to manage projects that will be implemented by administration. In case some
projects will be contracted out, the same officials and personnel should be equally conversant on
the mechanics of contract management.
146 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
6.3.3 Capability in resource generation
The function to recommend appropriate tax and other revenue measures or borrowings, which may
be appropriate to support the budget, is the responsibility of the Local Finance Committee (LFC). To
strengthen this Committee to be able to generate adequate revenue for the requirements of more
intensive public investments programming to implement the CLUP, the following shall be
considered:
• Enhancement of capability of LFC members;
• Expansion the LFC membership by including other officials who have finance related
functions like the City Assessor and the City Accountant; and
• Encourage participation of private sector especially from the investment finance

sub-sector to infuse innovative ideas into the LFC.
6.3.4 Capability in development regulation
In order to effectively implement the CLUP and its corresponding Zoning Ordinance, CDP and AIP,
the following shall be considered by the City Government of Cabuyao:
• Strengthening of the CPDO. The major chunk of development regulation tasks will
be concentrated on the Zoning Administrator once the Zoning Ordinance is enacted.
Hence, the strengthening of the CPDO, especially it’s zoning unit is a must. The
Zoning Administrator and its dedicated staff have to undergo training in zoning
administration and must work hand-in-hand with the City Engineer in development
regulation.
• Creation of Internal Audit Unit. To support the vision on ensuring transparency and
integrity, the creation of Internal Audit Unit must be done.
The organization and staffing of the proposed new offices may be done gradually. It would be a
more practical approach to make maximum use of existing personnel through proper matching of
their qualification to their tasks, enhancing their capabilities through training and further education,
and giving additional tasks to those who are under loaded before recruiting new personnel.
6.4 Social preparation of the population
Although the City Government is the orchestrator of events and activities in the City, it can only go
so far unless the city constituency is solidly behind the initiatives of the local government. A vital
factor in rallying the support of the people for the programs and projects proposed in this plan is
adequate information. To this end, the City Government of Cabuyao shall consider the following IEC
campaign strategies:
147 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
• Invest in a comprehensive IEC program. This could include coming out with a
popular edition of the CLUP, probably in Filipino;
• Production of attractive easy-to-read pull-out supplements; and
• Printing the land use map in calendar form to be distributed to every household and
establishment in the City. The possibilities for creative IEC approaches are endless.
• Uploading of all documents related to CLUP in the City Government web portal.

CABUYAO, LAGUNA
7.0 CLUP MONITORING, REVIEW, EVALUATION, AND

UPDATING
In order to make the CLUP responsive with recent developments and legislations, as well as with the
changing aspirations of the people, the CLUP will be regularly monitored, evaluated, and updated as
follows:
7.1 CLUP Monitoring and Evaluation
• The CLUP shall be monitored against the success indicators formulated for the realization
of the City’s vision and the spatial strategies and policies indicated in the plan. All CLUP-
related monitoring activities shall be integrated with the monitoring activities of the CPDO
but should be done at least once every six months.
• The extent of implementation and realization of spatial strategies has to be evaluated

annually to provide the Local Development Council and the stakeholders on how far is
Cabuyao from its desired urban form.
• CLUP monitoring and evaluation reports have to be submitted on a regular basis to

the Local Development Council, as well as to the Sangguniang Panlungsod and the Office
of the Mayor.
7.2 CLUP Review and Updating
• The 2016-2026 CLUP is designed to be a dynamic and responsive planning tool. To be able
to capture the changes in the aspirations of the people, policies of the government, and
the pace and direction of development which should be constantly reflected in the CLUP,
it may be updated every three years or at the start of every political term.
• All changes and updates have to be reviewed and endorsed by the Local Development
Council and approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod. The updating however should not
be used as a political venue to scrap the plans and development directions of previous
administrations.
7.3 Required Updating of Complementary Plans
• The effective implementation of the 2016-2026 CLUP necessitates the updating of the
Socio- Ecological Profile (SEP) and the alignment of the Comprehensive Development Plan
(CDP) and Local Development Investment Plan (LDIP).
• The existing Socio-Ecological Profile (SEP) should be updated regularly and be
149 | P a g e
CABUYAO, LAGUNA
made more comprehensive to include all aspects of development: Economic, Social,

Physical/Infrastructure, Environmental Management, and Institutional. This should serve
as comprehensive data base both for planning and policy formulation purposes.
• The plans and programs, as well as the sectoral objectives indicated in the CDP have to be
aligned with the revised Vision Statement and spatial directions and policies, as well as
the investment priorities in the LDIP.
