CHAPTER 4- DATA PRESENTATION AND ANALYSIS

SITE INVENTORY

SITE SELECTION

Choosing site for the project proposal will be a very important factor for the research

study to be valid and significance for its target users. The proponent must exactly pin point the

right location, site, and assessment to be able for the project to be significantly functional for the

users who will be the most important factor of providing these project proposal, as well as the

relative contribution for the surrounding places and the effects on the larger coverage and

consent of the sites allocation.

SITE SELECTION CRITERIA

A. Major Site Criteria

Accessibility

Accessibility is the proponent thinks a very important factor that should be found

for the site to be chosen. Accessibility not only pertains on how easy or near and far the

project proposal will be found or drive through by the other neighboring Cities or

Municipalities, but the proponent trying to say is the large coverage of the selected site

to be chose in relation with the neighboring Cities or Municipalities. It also pertains on

the visibility of the project to the projected target users whether on the same locality and

with other neighboring places.

Strategic Location

It is the relative complement of the accessibility because it will tackles the inert

importance of the project beyond the significance of it to the target user. It not only

pertains on the large importance of the project to the same location that will be chosen

but also to the other neighboring Cities or Municipalities that will brought the two main

significance of the project, the Income Generating and Locality Development of the

chosen site or location. The two significance will get along if the tourism factor will set as

a primary consideration in relation on the strategic allocation of the project proposal. The

proponent must also think which will carry a large coverage in terms of users who will

brought these factors and significance to the project proposal

Size and Land Area

Since the proposed project will be covered a large development in terms of land

usage and target users who will use the design project, size of the land and its area

should sustain the following facilities and development that will be incorporate to the site

or the selected location. It should grow in case of future expansion which commonly

allotted for those recreational and leisure type of projects. The proponent should choose

the right and effective lot size or land area that would suit to the totality of the whole

project since it will comes into a complex and moreover, in a horizontal planning and

design development.



B. Minor Site Criteria

Land use

Since the proposal will classify into recreational or leisure projects, land use

should be properly considered in selecting the site or location for the complex. It should

cater large no. of tourist which would be market with other municipalities and cities

surrounding the chosen site. Allocating the project will definitely affects and makes an

impact in relation to the norms, culture, and existing condition of the community, so

choosing the right site or location should bring positive effect such as good development

and the total productivity of the locality that it will cover.

Utility

Utility comes into different types depending on its importance and its

circumferential effectiveness to the project. This may come into public and private

transportations, water supply, waste treatment system, drainage system, electrical

supply, communication system, and many more that will definitely needed by the

projects development as well as with the users of the said project.

SITE DATA

MACRO SITE DATA

A. Physical Profile

History Background

Rodriguez is the northernmost town of Rizal. It is a land full of history, culture and

wonders of nature. The name "Rodriguez" is given to the town in memory of the Former

Senate President, Eulogio "Amang" Rodriguez. The first name of this land comes from

the Spaniards who named this land Monte Alba, which means "White Mountain". The

Spaniards have given this name to this town because of what they saw on the Wawa

River, a river between the mountains, are white rocks. These white rocks are limestone

which gives the idea that this place was once before under the ocean. So, from the

Spanish term, Monte Alba comes the name "Montalban", a name which is used by the

most of the residents of the town.

Geography and Geology

Rodriguez is said to be the largest municipality in the whole Rizal province out of

14 existing municipalities of the town. It is the northernmost town in the province and

surrounded by Antipolo City, Quezon City, Bulacan, Quezon Province, and Marikina City

which comes after San Mateo. The town is located on the slopes of the Sierra Madre

mountain range and features many resorts. It is also one of the largest towns in Rizal

province with 172.85 km². According to the 2007 census, it has a population of 223,594

inhabitants (115,167 people in 24,524 households in census 2000). With the continuous

expansion of Metro Manila, the municipality is now included in Manila built up area which

reaches Cardona in its westernmost part..

Rodriguez rizal is under the Region 4- A CALABARZON wherein R stands for the

Rizal province. It was classified as 2nd dstrict and a 1st class, partially urban municipality

of Rizal which oriented to the 14°43' N, 121°7' E. It is politically subdivided into 11

barangays (7 urban, 4 rural): San José, Burgos, Geronimo, Macabud, Mascap, San

Isidro, San Rafael, Balite, Manggahan, Rosario, and Puray.

General Land Use

The broad land use categories of the whole town are orchard, grassland,

woodland/forest, built-up, quarry, and rice field/agriculture. There are 372 hectares of

orchards or 0.9 percent the total town area. These are mostly devoted to mangoes and

are located near the ricefields in Bgys. Mascap and San Isidro. The grasslands which

have widened through the years and intruded partly into the declared Marikina

watershed to the east total 16,218 hectares or 43.3 percent of the municipal area.

These are mostly cogonal and talahib lands with scattered/scrubby growth that are

underutilized as grazing lands. The woodland or forested area comprises 18,887

hectares or 50.4 percent of the town's aerial extent. The forest lands used to be much

more extensive (91.3 percent in 1980) but these have been reduced by shifting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philippine_municipality

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sierra_Madre_%28Philippines%29




http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barangays



cultivation, logging and mining. The remaining forested area lies in the east within the

Marikina watershed reservation which has been declared by EO No. 33 and Pres. Proc.

No. 1637 as a critical watershed that cannot be subjected to commercial logging and

other destructive activities. The municipality has only 791 hectares of urban or built-up

land or 2.1 percent of the town area. This relatively small urban area is located mainly in

Bgys. Burgos, San Rafael, Manggahan, Rosario, Balite, Geronimo and San Jose, with a

small portion in the southern part of Bgy. San Isidro. This portion is in the flat lands

close to Metro Manila. There are a number of sand and gravel quarry sites in the town

totaling 72 hectares or 0.2 percent of the municipal extent. The more significant

quarrying activities are in Bgy. San Rafael, particularly beside the Montalban River and

the Maly River. The agricultural or ricefield area covers 1,148 hectares or only 3.1

percent of the town's total expanse. The ricelands are scattered in Bgys. San Isidro,

San Jose, Mascap, Burgos and Macabud where flat lands are also found.

Urban Land Use

The more detailed existing urbanized areas of Rodriguez lie in the southwest

corner, particularly in the barangays of Burgos, Manggahan, San Jose, Rosario,

Geronimo, and Balite. They are located in the flat lands that are also accessible to

Metro Manila via Rodriguez Highway and Rizal Ave. and they roughly occupy 791

hectares or 2.1 percent of the total municipal area.

The most extensive urban land use is residential and these lie alongside

Rodriguez Highway, Rizal Ave., M.H. del Pilar St., A. Bonifacio St., Daan Bakal St. and

the north-south stretch of Tanguile, Forestry, Banaba, Sampaguita, Calantang and E.

Manuel Sts. near San Mateo River in the west. The squatter residential or temporary

housing areas are found mostly along the Montalban River in the west and north of the

whole built-up area. They are found in Bgys. San Jose, Balite, Rosario, Geronimo and

San Rafael.

Next to the residential use in extent is the industrial, which occurs either as agro-

industrial or light and medium industry. The more extensive of the two is the agro-

industrial use which are scattered in Bgy. San Isidro in the northwest, Bgy. Manggahan

in the middle and Bgy. San Rafael in the northeast--all being generally located in the

periphery of the residential areas. The light- and medium- scale industries are mostly

located in Bgy. San Jose on the western banks of the San Mateo River.

The business/commercial areas are mainly strung in ribbon development along

Rizal Ave., Rodriguez Highway and M.H. del Pilar St. where they service the densest

grouping of residential areas. The Central Business District (CBD) lies around the

intersection of Rizal Ave. and Rodriguez Highway.

The public and government land uses are scattered over the whole built-up area.

Government and quasi-public institutional uses such as the municipal hall are located



near or just a little above the CBD. Near the municipal hall are educational and

cemetery land uses, with other smaller schools scattered in the different barangays. A

large park/recreational area is found in Bgy. San Jose to the west in-between Calantang

and Banaba Streets.

It must be mentioned that surrounding the urban land uses are agricultural and

forest land uses, part of which are also located in the flat portions of the town. The most

extensive use in the plain areas are the ricelands in the north and south. Croplands

devoted to vegetables are scattered all over while the mango and banana plantations

are not so extensive and they lie mostly in the more hilly northern and western

peripheries. The whole built-up area is surrounded by a wide expanse of grassland with

scattered patches of broadleaf forests, brushes and scrubby growth.

Land Zoning

Residential Zone: Three types of residential areas have been designated for

Rodriguez--low-density (R-1) housing, medium-density (R-2) housing, and high density

(R-3) housing. This variety of residential densities is possible in Rodriguez because of

its large size relative to other municipalities of Rizal.

The low-density (R-1) housing sub-zone is located in Bgy. San Jose west of the

poblacion near the open lands of Quezon City and Caloocan City which occupies about

450.30 hectares. The medium-density (R-2) housing sub-zone can be seen as an

irregular block north of the town proper in Bgy. San Isidro and as a wedge in Bgy San

Rafael adjoining the boundary with Mascap and comprised by this housing type is

about305.72 hectares. The high-density (R-3) sub-zone surrounds the Central Business

District in Bgys. Balite, Geronimo, Rosario, San Jose, Manggahan and Burgos which

covered approximately 507.90 hectares.

Commercial Zone: Two types of commercial areas have been designated for the

municipality--the major commercial (C-1) and the minor commercial (C-2) areas which

run through Rizal Ave., M.H. del Pilar St., Rodriguez Highway, the proposed road going

to Bgy. San Rafael and then down through the extension of Rodriguez Highway in Bgy.

San Rafael.

The major commercial (C-1) area or the Central Business District (CBD) is

located around the intersection of Rizal Ave. and Rodriguez Highway and in a strip on

both sides of Rodriguez Highway from the above intersection up to the San Jose

Elementary School in Bgys. Manggahan and Rosario. This is an area where land values

are highest and commercial activity is intense particularly in terms of retail and

wholesale trade, professional, financial and related services as well as recreational

activities and covers an area of approximately 61.22 hectares. The minor commercial

(C-2) area can be seen in the northern, southern and eastern spokes of the whole

commercial zone, i.e., in strips along both sides of M.H. del Pilar St. and the eastward



and north-south extensions of Rodriguez Highway in Bgys. Geronimo and San Rafael.

This sub-zone is characterized by quasi-commercial and residential establishments

engaged in retail trade and service industries performing supplementary functions to the

major commercial area which encompasses an area of about 181.44 hectares.

Industrial Zone: The town has decided to have only one zone for the time being under

this land use category--the light industrial (I-1) areas. The light industrial (I-1) area is

located in the southwest corner of the town extending east and west of San Mateo River.

This zone which is already partly occupied by residential activities will be the first to

absorb the influx of industrial activities from the metropolis via the Rodriguez-Quezon

City Road. Allowed in this area are industries classified as non-pollutive/non-hazardous,

i.e., the relatively less environmentally destructive ones. The space reserved for this

land use covers 319.3 hectares, with the southwestern portion occupying 219.3 hectares

and the northern strip comprising 100.00 hectares.

General Institutional Zone: The conspicuous general institutional zone (GIZ) area in

the town is the spot where there is a concentration of local government, educational,

health, religious, civic and cultural facilities, and this is the area dominated by the

municipal hall and the multi-purpose covered court along Rizal Ave. after Bonifacio St.

going north. Small institutional sub-zones can also be found in the different barangays

in small neighborhood complexes usually containing the barangay hall, the elementary

school, the barangay health center and the chapel. These institutional structures are

supplementary to the functions of the major institutional sub-zone in the poblacion.

Roughly, the aggregate areas covered by institutional uses total about 9.70 hectares.

Parks and Recreation Zone: The parks and recreation zone (PRZ) include the

Montalban Memorial Park behind the municipal hall. Parks is designed both for

recreational pursuits and for the maintenance of ecological balance in the community. It

may be observed that the main multi-purpose hall of the town, the playgrounds of

elementary schools and the wide spaces and tourist attractions of the production forest

zone also constitute part of the parks and recreation zone. In the built-up part of the

town, this sub-zone covers about 6.4 hectares.

Agricultural Zone: The agricultural zone is divided into three sub-zones--the agricultural

zone used as riceland (AGZ-R), agricultural zone under CARP (AGZ-CARP) and the

agri-industrial zone (A1Z). These zones are found above the Montalban River.

The agricultural zone under rice (AGZ-R) is located in San Isidro immediately

above the Montalban River. These have to be retained as riceland as required by DA

Administrative Order No. 20, being irrigated and irrigable. However, this land may give

way to industrial uses in the near future and comprises 927.12 hectares. The whole of

Bgys. Macabud and Mascap have been declared as agricultural lands under the

Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (AGZ-C), is on predominantly hilly land that is

mostly under grass or scrub cover. Since the rolling topography limits the production of



lowland rice, this portion is better devoted to vegetables for which there is constant

demand from nearby Metro Manila and it covers approximately 2235.00 hectares. The

agri-industrial zone (AIZ) occurs northwest of the poblacion in Bgy. San Isidro close to

the boundary with Bgy. Macabud. This sub-zone is devoted to industries which are

agriculturally derived and have compatible uses which this sub-zone is estimated to

occupy 204.92 hectares.

Production Forest Zone: The production forest (PdFZ) in Bgys. San Isidro and

Mascap and as expansion area for orchard/production forest in most of Bgys. San Isidro,

Puray, Mascap, San Rafael and in most of the Marikina watershed. This zone covers

those areas between 18 to 50 percent and can be devoted to multiple uses such as

orchards, silviculture, grazing, tourism and recreation activities and small-scale mining.

This zone should be subjected to the forest development programs and projects

recommended by the DENR which observe sustainable development principles.

Included in this zone are areas within and outside the Marikina watershed, with those

within the watershed requiring more careful and less intensive use.

Protection Forest Zone: The protection forest zone (PtFZ) includes existing

woodland/protection forest within the Marikina watershed and as expansion areas for

woodland/protection forest in portions of Bgy. San Isidro and the Marikina watershed.

This zone pertains to areas above 50 percent in slope that should be put under forest

cover and withdrawn and protected from utilization, exploitation and development. This

zone includes areas within and outside the Marikina watershed. The total area reserved

for this zone which includes both the existing woodlands and the expansion area for

protection forest is about 8,566.94 hectares.

Tourism Zone: The tourism zone (TZ) mostly coincides with the Pamitinan Protected

Landscape as declared and delineated by Proclamation No. 901, dated October 10,

1996. The area is located in Bgys. Mascap and San Rafael and is highlighted by the

Pamitinan Cave, its surroundings and other cave ecosystems found therein. It was also

majorly covered the picturesque WaWa Dam nearby where people can bathe and hold

picnics. Other tourist activities in the protected landscape are mountain climbing,

spelunking, nature trekking, camping, fishing and bird watching. Because of the area's

ecologically fragile nature, it should be used on a regulated basis, where provisions for

tourist carrying capacity may be considered, for instance. This rectangular landscape

which measures 3,000 by 2,000 meters covers an area of 600 hectares.

Climate Condition

Just like with the other municipalities of Rizal province, Rodriguez has only two

seasons: the wet and dry. It is relatively dry from December to May and wet during the

rest of the year. Northeast winds prevail in the province. It is not directly hit by typhoons,

low-pressure systems, and strong winds.



B. Socio- Economic Profile

Population by Urban-Rural Distribution

Despite its proximity to NCR, Rodriguez still has a rural segment. Most of the

population lives in the urban areas, but still a significant percentage resides in rural

areas especially in the eastern portion of the town.

Population Age Structure Distribution

The population of Rodriguez is relatively young. Sixty-eight percent of the

populations are below 30 years old Potential labor force (15-64 years old) of the

municipality is 58.47% percent. Those outside of these age brackets belong to the

dependents. Thus, dependency ratio would be 71%, which means potentially the town’s

labor force can well support its dependents since it is below 100%.

Rodriguez.

Demographic Data per Barangay According to the Philippine National Statistic Office

Population Projection of Rodriguez (Medium Assumption)

This assumes that the present average annual population growth rate of 4.83%

will remain constant. This methodology is the safest (in fact this plan will use these as

the basis of demand projections). It assumed that the status quo will remain in terms of

the present level of policy and measures (or none at all) in managing the surge of in-

migrants and the rapid expansion of households in the municipality. It estimated that

Rodriguez’s population will double even before the year 2005. By the year 2015, the

town’s population would have reached the 200,000 level.

Recreation

There are two parks in this municipality. One is located in Brgy. San Jose and

its area is 40.404 square meters. The other one is the Town Plaza which has a total

area of 2,060 square meters including the school located within the perimeter. Also, a

total number of 15 basketball courts are available for use. Moreover, there is a cockpit

locally known as the Montariza Cockpit.

Tourism

There are 3 noted resorts in the area, namely: Le Arms, Rolling Hills in San

Rafael and Sabah in San Jose. Wawa River in Barangay San Rafael is also a potential

tourism site with its river, dam and nearby caves which can be developed for excursions,

picnics, hiking, spelunking and other outdoor activities. At Wawa may be found the

“naguumpugang bato” which legend says were prevented from bumping each other and

flooding the river by the legendary strong man Bernardo Carpio. They are actually two

hills whose sides slope at the river bed near Wawa Dam.

The hills and mountains of Montalban have been used as location sites for

moviemaking. The limestone rock formations north of Wawa Dam are presently used for

mountain climbing by various mountaineer groups. Puray has waterfalls that can attract

bathers. It is also a historic place during the Philippine Revolution where Andres

Bonifacio and his men fought battles and stored arms. General Emilio Aguinaldo - the

first President of the Philippine Revolutionary Government and a native of Rodriguez -

assigned General Licerio I. Geronimo as commander of the revolutionary forces in

Rodriguez who helped the former retreat to Biak-na- Bato. During the Filipino-American

War, Gen. Geronimo killed the famous American General Henry Lawton. The town has

statues of Gen. Geronimo which can be potential tourist attractions. Rodriguez has the

natural resources to develop a viable tourism industry that will cater to both local and

foreign tourists.

Utility Systems

Road Network

There are two major avenues that serve as access route of Rodriguez to Metro

Manila and its periphery. From the west, through the Constitution Hills in Quezon City,

the municipality can be reached via the Rodriguez-San Jose-Quezon City Road, which

has a total length of 3.55 kilometers. The road on the Rodriguez side is gravel-paved

such that only heavy trucks and jeeps can traverse it especially during rainy days. The

road on the Quezon City side through Payatas is concreted. One can also get to the

town by passing through Marikina via JP Rizal and San Mateo by way of the San Mateo-

Rodriguez Road which stretches 14.28 kilometers.

Among the different barangays, San Jose has the most extensive barangay and

municipal roads totaling 15.54 kilometers. This is followed by San Isidro with 14.39

kilometers and Mascap with 11.9 kilometers. However, comparing the ratio of roads to

land area, Rosario has the greatest road density at 37.35. Closely behind is Geronimo

with 34.99 and Manggahan with 31.93. There are also six (6) bridges within Rodriguez.



Each one is made of concrete. The largest bridge is the E. Rodriguez in Barangay San

Jose which is 120 meters long and 15 meters wide. Constructed in 1977, it is made of

concrete and has a loading capacity of 30 tons.

Modes of Transportation

The means of transportation in the municipality is only by land with vital access to

Metro Manila and the surrounding towns. The main thoroughfares are utilized by buses,

utility vehicles, trucks, motorcycles, tricycles, and private vehicles in transporting goods

and commuters. The fact that vehicles are mobile, a substantial number of them travel

to, within and from Rodriguez. A large volume of the vehicles traverse the two national
