BRIEF HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

1


Lapu-Lapu City is named after the first Filipino fighter who successfully defeated the Spanish invaders in the Battle at Barangay Mactan, which was fatal to the Spanish Leader, Magellan. Composed of nineteen (19) barangays in the mainland and eleven (11) barangays in Olango Island, Lapu-Lapu City (formerly the Municipality of Opon ) created under R.A. 3134 as Lapu-Lapu City on June 17, 1961 and became a Highly Urbanized-City through a plesbiscite on June 21, 2007. The City is separated from the province of Cebu by the Mactan Channel, however, at present it is connected with the Province of Cebu by two (2) bridges, known as the 1st Mandaue – Mactan Bridge and Marcelo H. Fernan Bridge. Lapu-Lapu City and Municipality of Cordova comprises the whole Mactan Island. These are connected by two (2) bridges, bound from Suba-Basbas, the Suba-Basbas-Gabi bridge and bound from Babag, the Babag-Pilipog bridge. Her proximity to a highly developed area which is Cebu City has resulted in a mutually reinforcing relationship. Lapu-Lapu City utilizes some of the facilities of Cebu City in the field of education (undergraduate and graduate studies) and communication (television, radio and newspaper). The Metro Cebu Water District has included Lapu-Lapu City in its distribution of water supply. It is the seat of Mactan-Cebu International Airport and considered as the gateway to the Pacific, on the other hand, Cebu City and the rest of Metro Cebu make use of the Airport for domestic and international air travel. The airport is a vital international gateway to the country’s economic prosperity and is the country’s second busiest airport. It services domestic flights to and from major cities of the country, as well as international flights to Japan (Narita), Sourth Korea (Inchon and Pusan), Singapore, Qatar (Doha), Taiwan (Taipei), Hongkong, China (Pudong and Kaoshiung), Thailand (Bangkok) and Malaysia (Kuala Lumpur). Lapu-Lapu City is noted for being tourist haven for her historical spots, her beautiful, pristine sandy shores and white sand beaches on one side of the island city, more particularly in the coastal barangays of 2


Marigondon, Agus, Suba-basbas, Maribago, Mactan and Pta. Engaño which also made Lapu-Lapu City a major destination attracting domestic and foreign tourists to spend their weekends and vacations. The other side of the island facing Cebu has no sandy shores. The deep harbors, however along this coast has made it the ideal location for the oil companies, for ship-building & repair, dry-docking industry, for the construction of the giant industrial complex like the General Milling Corporation and for the various industries in the Mactan Economic Zone. It is expected that more industrial establishments will move to LapuLapu City considering the convenience she can offer to investors plus the services extended by the industries located in the Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZ I & II) and Cebu Light Industries Park (CLIP). These economic zones serve as the base of operations of various multi-national companies engaged in the manufacture of electronics, apparel, iron and steel, electronics, camera and camera parts, binoculars, novelty items, processed food, plastic products, industrial chemicals gases, machineries, bags and luggages, fashion jewelries, wood products, paper and paper products, rubber products, watches, optical lenses, glass filters, electrical machinery, industrial gloves, auto wire harness, parts and accessories.

It is bounded on the north and west by the Mactan Channel, on the east by Bohol Strait, and on the south by the Municipality of Cordova. Lapu-Lapu City is geographically located at the following coordinates: Westernmost point: 123o59’55 (longitude), 10o20’6.115 (latitude) Easternmost point: 124o01’7.8971 (longitude), 10o19’5.4611 (latitude) The City is about 1.5 km. from Mandaue City and 8 km from Cebu City, although it is only about 350 meters from Cebu City at the nearest portion of Mactan Channel. The City is approximately 365 km or a one-hour trip by plane from Metro Manila. Access to the City is provided through two bridges, the Mandaue-Mactan Bridge and the Marcelo H. Fernan Bridge, which connect it to mainland Cebu. Ferry boat service is also available between Pier 3 in Cebu city and Muelle Osmeña in Lapu-Lapu City.

B. Slope Classification Lapu-Lapu City is topographically flat except for some areas in the northeastern part, which are slightly elevated. The land is made up entirely of hard coral rock. About 40% of the area is of rocky terrain. There are no major rivers or creeks in Mactan mainland and in the island barangays. The whole island has a ground slope of 0 – 3%. Basically, because of its geological formation and topography, the island is not susceptible to erosion.

C. Land Suitability There are four classifications of soil type in the City, namely: Bolinao Clay, Faraon Clay, Beach Sand, and Hydrosol. The geology of Mactan island is mostly coral based, with little top soil. It is mainly made up of alluvium deposits, and tertiary limestone, quaternary limestone and Cretaceous rocks in the whole island. The quaternary alluvium is prevalent in the south coastal area, with a large island intrusion west of Cordova. The porous character of the 17


soil makes the surface run-off seep through. It is difficult to undertake excavation work for pipelaying and canal works on the type of formation of Mactan. Controlled blasting is commonly done to excavate trenches.

D. Climatic Condition Mactan island falls under Type III of the Modified Coronas Classification of Philippine climates. It is characterized by a not very pronounced or distinct season. It is relatively dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year. Based on PAG-ASA-Mactan station records, the island receives 78% of its annual rainfall from June to December. The driest month is April, which receives 34.6 mm of rainfall, while the wettest is July with 189.4 mm of rainfall. The average annual rainfall is 1,470 mm. On the average, there are 130 rainy days in a year. The entire island is generally remote from the normal path of tropical cyclones originating from the Pacific Ocean.

The monthly prevailing wind in Mactan from October to May is northeast, while from June to September is southwest. Current patterns along the coastal region of Magellan Bay are influenced by the tidal force and wind direction. The wind speed is in the range of 2 to 3 meters-per-second (m/c). The highest wind recorded was 5.5 m/sec along the south direction on November 20, 1990. The average annual temperature in Mactan is 28.1oC. The coolest month is January with a temperature of 23.8oC, while the hottest period occurs in May at 32.9oC. Based on primary tide station 2002 data at the Port of Cebu, the following selected indicators show the average tidal ranges:

PHYSICAL/ INFRASTRUCTURES RESOURCES A. Transportation Network (internal and external linkages) While it can be said that Cebu is the hub of the Visayas, Mactan Island contributes a major role in this respect specifically because of the presence of the Mactan-Cebu International Airport which serves as one of the gateways of the Visayas. The Transport Sector Development is a matter of great importance in Lapu-Lapu City. For that reason, this section analyzes road, sea and air transport individually as well as integrally. B. Social Services facilities/utilities/amenities Large portions of land in Lapu-Lapu City are occupied by industrial, tourism and commercial establishments, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, MEPZ I and II, the Cebu Light Industrial Park, and the Mactan Benito Ebuen Air Base, thus limiting the land available for human settlement. The need for housing and the increasing number of squatters in public and coastal areas are indications of lack of land for the rapidly increasing population of the city. Lapu-Lapu City has seen an increase in the demand for housing subdivisions, both for upscale/high-end and socialized ones. Since 1995, twenty-nine (29) housing subdivisions were established in Mactan Island with a total land area of 121.9090 hectares. Of this total, 31.77 hectares are developed as socialized housing projects offering a total of 3,534 saleable lots. These residential subdivisions are mostly located on the central, eastern and western parts of the city. Certain areas in Lapu-Lapu City are home to informal settlers. Data provided by the City Planning and Development Office revealed that there are currently 1895 families living on land owned by government or other private citizens for 10 to 49 years already.

HEALTH FACILITIES: There are two government-run hospitals in Lapu-Lapu City. The Lapu-Lapu City Hospital, which is a secondary hospital that provides definitive care in the four (4) basic specialties, namely: medicine, surgery, obstetrics, gynecology and pediatrics. The second government-run hospital is located in Sta. Rosa, Olango Island. The Sta. Rosa Community Hospital is categorized as a primary hospital and serves the barangays in Olango Island. In addition, private health facilities are also operating within Lapu-Lapu City. However, there is still the perception that people have poor access to quality health services and that the city hospital have sub-standard facilities. Twenty-four (24) of the City’s 30 barangays have one Barangay Health Unit each, while six, owing to their large population, have more than one health facility. These are Barangays Babag with 2, Mactan with 3, Pusok with 2, Pajo with 3, Gun-ob with 3 and Basak with 2. EDUCATION: The educational institutions offering pre-school, elementary and highschool are well distributed throughout Mactan Island and the other island barangays. All barangays have their own public elementary schools, while most have their own public high schools. 38


Most of these schools are concentrated in Barangays Babag, Basak, Gun-ob, Looc, Pajo, Poblacion and Pusok. Total land area occupied by the publicly-ran schools is 43.31 hectares. PEACE AND ORDER: Peace and order situation in the City is stable with the presence of the 127-man police force, barangay tanods, private security guards and other volunteer civic groups that are so concerned with the security condition of the City. The assistance of these concerned groups is of great help to the undermanned Philippine National Police organization of the place. Police manpower of the city is inadequate, with only 127 personnel, a number which does not meet the population ratio of 500 to one Policeman. The National Statistics Office census report for the year 2007 shows that the City has a total population of 292,530. Based on the standard ratio of 1:500 the required number of uniformed Police personnel is 585. There is a gap of 458 police personnel to compliment the total required number, though every Barangay of the city has also its own Barangay Tanod Force. The City’s police force has one (1) headquarter and five (5) sub-stations distributed in the strategic locations of the City. There are seven (7) police service vehicles that are presently being used to monitor peace and order situation of the city. The Fire Station has a manpower compliment of eighty-seven (87) firemen distributed over the different fire sub-stations as follows: Central Fire Station, 41, Marigondon Fire sub-station, 7, Olango Fire sub-station, 14, Babag Fire substation, 12 and Mactan Fire sub-station, 13. There are also nine (9) firetrucks/equipments available which are all serviceable. Fire hydrants are installed in various parts of the City for the entire City of Lapu-Lapu the ratio of fire personnel over the population is 1:3,363.

SOCIAL WELFARE::

39


Generally, the main situation of the City’s social welfare services is seen to be inadequate as manifested by the absence of some facilities and personnel needed to cater to the needs of the lowly sector of the society particularly the needy families. Aside from the absence of social welfare facilities, the need to formulate a doable social welfare plan and to pass a stronger legislative measures to help the less privilege of the society is strongly recommended. SOCIO-CULTURAL: The City of Lapu-Lapu has been recently declared as a highly urbanized City. The City introduced and developed different sports and recreational activities such as : basketball, volleyball, softball, badminton, soccer, lawn tennis, swimming track and field and indoor games. Since Lapu-Lapu City is active in participating on the different sports activities sponsored by the different agencies, sport program is one of the priority programs of the City to keep its people always active, strong and healthy and to keep the youth away from illegal drug addiction. Inventory of cultural facilities in Lapu-Lapu City indicated that a number of these facilities (at least 2) are existing in each barangay. Covered basketball courts and so-called multi purpose pavements can be found in almost all barangays of the City. The newly constructed Lapu-Lapu City Commercial and Entertainment Complex (also known as Lapu-Lapu City Hoopsdome) is located in Barangay Gun-ob. A number of resorts have swimming pool facilities which are all located along the beach line of the City. 3.0

Utilities: Power, Water, Communication Network, Waste Management

Power dependable capacity for Cebu is much less lower than its demand. For the morning peak (1 am to 8am)) the power demand for Cebu is 480 megawatts and the dependable capacity is only 211 megawatts. Between 2 pm to 6 pm the demand reached 471 megawatts while the dependable capacity is only 225 megawatts. For the evening peak (6pm to 12 midnight0 the total demand is 505 megawatts against the dependable capacity of 225 megawatts This is the usual demand and dependable capacity from Monday to Friday, which goes down by only 50 MW during Saturdays and Sundays .

Although nearly all water used for urban purposes in Metro Cebu originate from groundwater sources, the wide variety of means by which households obtain access to that groundwater A not too recent survey conducted in Metro Cebu showed that about two thirds of the households rely solely on MCWD piped water connection. In addition, 3 to 4 percent of households also have MCWD connections but because of rationed supply, they also use other sources primarily its own wells. In fact, about 20% of households have two or more sources of water. These households use own well or vended water to supplement limited MCWD water for drinking and cooking from neighbors to supplement the less potable water from artesian wells and other vended water. The relatively high percentage of households with MCWD connections were located not far from the public transportation routes where most of the MCWD lines are, so the chances of getting MCWD services were higher. Aside from MCWD, small private waterworks catering mostly to residential subdivisions provide tap water to the rest of the households. A greater proportion of households are fully self-supplied using primarily deep wells. In line with its vision to “leapfrog” into the digital age, the city government of Lapu-Lapu will strengthen its computerization project and expand its computer literacy program to include elementary schools. The Mayor has envisioned making Lapu-Lapu City the Asia’s version of Silicon Valley. To do this, the city will first develop the human resources in the area by urging the local school board to expand local government computer literacy project. The City is also studying the expansion of its vocational technological program to be included in the city college. The City is inviting computer schools and colleges to put up campuses in the City to better serve the community so that the vision of the City to have computer savvy generation will be achieved. At present, 470 computer work stations have been distributed to different barangays to be used by high school students The City also identified the Mactan North Reclamation and Development Project as the site where the City will put up its version of he Silicon Valley. Although the project is still in its planning stage, the City government will pursue the undertaking since most school children are eager to learn. Aside from Information and Communication technology, tourism as a major growth driver has also been identified. With this, the City government will be

41


rolling our an intensified tourism campaign through a program dubbed “The Sunny Side of Mactan” The rapid increase in the population of Lapu-Lapu City and its burgeoning economy has made Solid Waste Management an urgent concern for the City. The establishment of three special economic zones (MEPZ I, MEPZ II and Cebu Light Industrial Park), the expansion of facilities like the Mactan-Cebu International Airport, the establishment of other commercial, industrial and institutional businesses have led to an increase in the volume of solid waste generated by the City. Add to these the changing lifestyle of the Lapu-Lapu City residents. Results of the waste characterization conducted by the Solid Waste Management Office of Lapu-Lapu City revealed that only 7% of the wastes collected are residual in nature, with 42% non-biodegradable and 51% biodegradable. Fig. 1. Nature of Waste Generated

There are four kinds of wastes generated by companies inside the MEPZ, namely: recyclables, toxic and hazardous wastes, kitchen wastes, and other wastes. Only the residual wastes are disposed through private garbage contractors to the LapuLapu City Controlled Dumpsite. On the other hand, the bulk of the waste generated outside the MEPZ is organic with high moisture content. Total average waste generation in the City is 47 tons per day.

Waste generators are required to segregate their garbage into compostable and non-compostable. These will have to be placed in separate containers that are sealed or tied. Garbage not stored in this way are not collected by the barangays or the city garbage collectors. The following table shows the inventory of equipment and personnel for garbage collection of the City.

Lapu-Lapu City has 14 garbage collection groups consisting of 1 driver and 3 collectors. Collection is done between 8PM to 5AM only, except for the public market where collection is done at daytime and evening. MEPZ companies have their own garbage collectors, as with big establishments like Mactan Shangrila, Plantation Bay, and General Milling Corporation. Collected garbage is disposed of in the City’s Material Recovery Facility located 4 km from Lapu-Lapu City proper. Straddling between barangays Mactan and Bankal, it has a total area of 2 hectares.

The Economic Structure 1.0

Revenue sources (Industries, agriculture, etc.) 43


The City of Lapu-Lapu plays a vital role to the overall development of Cebu Province and to Region VII as a whole. The Mactan International Airport provides the gateway of the region to the rest of the world and serves as transshipment point by air of cargoes and people plying to and from neighboring provinces in the Visayas and Mindanao. This factor favors the proliferation of airport oriented high value added industries. The historic significance of the city, its attractive coastline with world-class resort hotels makes the area a prime destination to foreign and domestic tourist. Considering that tourism enhances goodwill among nations, the city has become a show window of Philippines culture, products and sea sports activities. The presence of three progressive economic zones made Lapu-Lapu City an important industrial center of the region as well as the country at large. Geared to supply the needs of the modern world, it has become the melting pot of technology thus upgrading further the labor skills of Central Visayas. Lastly, receipts from tourism and export manufacturers contributed to the much needed dollar for our country to sustain development. Services sector includes economic activities related to transportation, storage, communication, wholesale and retail, banking and finance, real estate, private services (i.e. education, medical, hotel and restaurant, recreation and culture) business services, personal services and government services. Classified as a highly urbanized city having a tourism and industry inclined economy with very limited agricultural potential due to land constraint, services sector is the biggest contributor in terms of employment and production value. In the absence of Gross City Domestic Product Income Account, value of production of Lapu-Lapu City could not be ascertained. However, based on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) of Central Visayas, the service sector contributed 55 percent of total value of goods and services produced in the economy in 2005 growing by 9.00 percent annually in the last decade. Service sector in Lapu-Lapu City is dominated by hotel and restaurant, wholesale and retail, real estate renting, transportation and storage. In 2007, 654 service establishments were registered with the business permit and license office. . This increased to 801 in 2008 increasing by 22.47 per cent.

44


Significant growth is in transportation and storage increasing by 55.00 percent, followed by real estate development and renting (48.19 %), wholesale and retail (34.17 %), education (32.35 %) and health with 22.22 %. Agriculture sector covers the sub-sector on crops, livestock and poultry, fisheries, and forestry. Except for fishery, the development potential of agriculture for LapuLapu City is limited due to land constrain. With only 6,424 hectares of land area, the geology of the Mactan Island is mostly coral based, with little top soil for crop cultivation. Secondly, classified as highly urbanized city and part of the Cebu Metropolis urban type of development is appropriate. As the site of the second largest international airport in the country, a leading tourist beach destination, and houses one on the more important export processing zone in the Philippines, its comparative advantage is towards the development of the service and industrial sector. However meager is development potential of agriculture, a significant number of its population is still dependent on fishery and livestock production as their livelihood. The protection and rehabilitation of its marine resources will compliment the tourism thrust of Lapu-Lapu City. 2.0

Employment

Employment in the industry sector totaled 53,446 in year 2000. This increased to 72,455 in 2008 growing 3.87 percent per year. The sector is the major employment generator contributing half of the total city’s employment (Table 3.3.1). Employment is classified as local and transient workers. Local workers are those that reside in the city while transient workers are those residing elsewhere. In 2000, transient workers were estimated to constitute 30 percent of the total sectoral employment. This increased to 41 percent in 2008 to indicate that more workers residing outside the city are hired by local establishments particularly those located inside industrial zones. Employment in the service sector is estimated at 68,019 in 2008 contributing 46.00 percent of the total employment of the city (Table IV-21). These are mostly in the hotel and restaurant business, wholesale and retail trading, and transportation service accounting 65 percent of total employment in the service sector.

45


In 2008, the number of people engaged in agriculture as means of livelihood is estimated at 7,393 contributing around 5.00 percent to total employment of the city . These are mostly in fishery, and livestock production. 3.0

Existing Land Use and Land Use Trends

Urban and Commercial 46


The urban and commercial area for Lapu-lapu City is presently located at the Poblacion and Pajo area, to northward stretch of the Poblacion up to the MEPZ boundary and up to the airport boundary. Commercial establishments are also found along the 1st Mactan Bridge – Marigondon Road and some along Mactan East Circumferential Road, from Punta Engaño to the municipality of Cordova. Tourism The island of Mactan is bestowed by nature with beautiful beaches which has a bright appeal to international tourism. It has an area of about 120 hectares in a strip along the eastern shoreline, part of the total tourism land use of 1,356.15 hectares (12.11%). Most of the barangays along the shoreline enjoyed this natural beauty of nature where visitors can swim in the clear blue seas adjoining the beach fronts, dive underneath the surf where coral formations and marine life forms abound or just simply enjoy the Vista. These are found in Barangays Suba-Basbas, Marigondon, Maribago, Mactan and Punta Engaño. Environmental Protection Mangrove forests are natural land uses on an archipelagic chain of land like the Philippines. The total mangrove forest in Mactan is 85 hectares. This number is distributed at the shoreline along the barangays located at the northern and southern ends of the city. The other mangrove forest is located in Olango Island. The mangroves belong to the Environmental Protection Area of Lapu-Lapu City, which has a total land area of 471.40 hectares (7.34%). Industrial Industrial Land in Lapu-Lapu City is concentrated at the MEPZ I and II and Cebu Light Industrial Park. The zones are 100% industrial and the land use is strictly enforced by the authority although the prevalence of squatters at the southern and northern end in MEPZ I represents intrusion of residential land use into the zone. Total land area for industrial/SEZ is 208.31 hectares (3.24%).

47


Aside from the MEPZ areas, there are other existing firms located in the commercial and residential zones of the City. This highlights non-conformity of land uses.

Airport The Mactan Cebu International Airport has a total land area of 797 hectares which is shared by Mactan Benito Ebuen Air Base and extends from the northeast of Barangay Pusok to Barangay Bankal. It covers part of the areas of Barangays Pusok, Buaya, Basak, Bankal and Ibo. Further it comprises a strip of the area along the peripheral boundary of Pajac and Maribago.

 1.

The Concept/Structure Plan Socio-Economic Development Framework

54


The City of Lapu-Lapu will continue to play a vital role to the overall development of Cebu Province and to Central Visayas Region as a whole. The presence of the Mactan Cebu International Airport makes it the gateway of the region to the rest of the world. It serves as a transshipment point of cargoes and people plying to and from neighboring provinces in the Visayas and Mindanao. About 83% of the shipping industry in the country is based in Cebu. Industry and Tourism shall be prioritized as the lead sectors for expansion. The presence of the progressive special economic and/or export processing zones shall be maintained and enhanced in terms of optimization of output. Tourism activities shall likewise be improved and enhanced to make the city a show window of Philippine culture, products and natural beauty. The historical significance of the city, its scenic coastal waters with world-class hotels, resorts and the existence of ocean recreation facilities will make it a primary destination of both local and foreign tourists. On the overall, tourism and export manufacturers will be the major contributors to the much needed dollar for our country. Lastly, being and island city, Lapu-Lapu City mainland shall continue to supply the basic necessities of its islet barangays that also cater tourists and fishers. 2.

Population Development Framework

The population of Lapu-Lapu City is projected to grow by 4.0% to 3.5% per annum within the next decade. This population growth cannot carry the planned expansion of the economic sector/sub-sectors and needs the identification of residential areas within the city to serve the expected increase of population, which will be employed by economic activities within the island. The unprecedented high growth in population will result to the doubling of the city’s inhabitants by year 2021. This will put to limit the carrying capacity of the land utility resources to absorb the economic and housing requirements of the city. This necessitates the identification of expansion sites in the adjacent municipality of Cordova and the development of reclamation projects. An efficient housing development program shall be employed to produce low-cost affordable residences for the population living in the island. Housing shall be developed in such a way as to maximize the utilization of the available land allocated to residential land use.

55


For people lining outside the island, an efficient transportation shall be developed. This includes the establishment of ferry landing service in the pre-identified ferry points in the city to service between Mactan and Cebu and between Mactan and Bohol. And, the construction of a third bridge between Mactan and Cebu City. 3.

Environmental Management

Critical issues of concern for Environmental Management are described below: On Mactan Channel and Magellan Bay 

Disposal of untreated effluent from the surrounding industries which may contain highly polluting substances, affecting aesthetics and exerting oxygen demands in coastal waters;



Dumping of biodegradable and non-biodegradable, toxic and hazardous wastes into the channel bay; and



Siltation, particularly in areas along the port.

On Coastal/Marine Waters and Tourism Zones, Parks and Reservation Areas 

Illegal and destructive fishing practices still proliferate in the island and neighboring islets;



Deteriorating condition of the Coastal Zone areas due to massive extraction of coral reefs; and



Increasing number of settlement/squatter villages along coastal zone.

On Industrial and Domestic Wastes 

Presence of some polluting industries with no proper waste treatment facilities;



Improper garbage disposal and collection; and

 Lack of suitable dumpsite for industrial and domestic waste. Environmental Management Development Objective The main objective of the environmental management sector in the overall development of Mactan Island is to ensure that the proposed development framework does not harm 56


the ecological balance in the island and protect the environment from future degradation due to the influx of development interventions. Recommended Environmental Action Plan a) b) c) d) e) f) g)

Coastal Environmental Program Groundwater Utilization and Water Quality Industrial Pollution Control Managing Domestic Waste Managing Air Pollutants Emitted from Mobile Sources Beautification Projects Strict enforcement of environmental laws and policies

4.

Tourism Development Framework

Tourism development in Lapu-Lapu City shall be hinged on the development of the whole eastern seaboard as resort areas and in the creation of additional tourist zones in the proposed Mactan North Reclamation and Development Project. The tourism activities in the reclamation areas shall be specially developed to cater to world-class international clientele and shall be connected directly to the international airport by an expressway to pave way for the declaration of these areas as free port zones. The following strategies/activities are proposed: 

Increase its capacity with respect to the total number of visitor accommodation units and larger resort properties;



Upgrade the standard of its accommodations (3 to 4/5 star level);



Reposition itself towards business-conferences- incentive travelers, plus group/leisure travelers; and



Significantly broaden its base of visitor activities and attractions.

To support the above strategies, the following improvements are recommended: Infrastructure Requirements -

57


This includes improvement of the transportation system, water supply, power and communications. Additionally, drainage system, wastewater and sewerage system and solid waste system shall be improved to serve the requirements of the intended developments. Resort Character – An integrated tourism master plan shall be prepared for the development of the city’s tourism sector. An Integrated Resort Design shall be undertaken to shape the future environment of the tourism area. This shall include the type, category and character of the different resort precincts with harmony to one another; and the compatibility of the resort character to the social and cultural arrangements for the resort zone. 5.

Physical Development Framework

The physical development framework takes into account the salient points of the various sectoral frameworks as described in the above discussion. From the development framework, three alternative strategies were identified: Alternative Strategy 1 – The City of Lapu-Lapu envisions a modern industrial base economy. Given the international airport, the industry sector will be improved and enhanced over long term. The other sectors will just compliment toward sustainable urban development. Alternative Strategy 2 – The City of Lapu-Lapu will continue to be the leading tourist destination and a vital point of entry in international travel. Tourism will be the base economy and the Industry sector shall be the second priority for development. Alternative Strategy 3 – A combination of Alternative Strategies 1 and 2. Alternative Strategy 3 was chosen as the preferred development alternative for LapuLapu City (as indicated by the City Development Strategy Program in 1999-2020). When this was discussed during the two updating workshops (March 23-24, 2009 and July 2-3, 2009), the stakeholders adopted this as the preferred alternative for Lapu-Lapu City.

58


Adopted Alternative Strategy (Strategy 3) The City of Lapu-lapu envisions a modern industrial and tourism base economy complimenting each other towards a sustainable natural environment that supports ecotourism development. The City shall be a leading historic tropical island paradise in the Pacific amidst economic progress brought about by MEPZ, one of the most important industrial estates in the country. The presence of the Mactan Cebu International Airport serves as a gateway for tourists and of the production market. Tourism shall become a part of the global tourism network raking a substantial amount of tax revenues and foreign exchange earnings. It shall be able to respond to travel arrangement of every market segment as transportation and telecommunication systems become state-of-the-art. It should have created a modern and functional tourist and investment information centers operated by the combined efforts of the government and private sector. By the end of the planning period the city shall have a highly diversified environmentfriendly and socially responsive industry that provide employment openings, produce world-class products for export and domestic consumption, and enhanced retail and merchandizing business operating under the regime of industrial peace and sustained productivity. Certainly, the fast growth of tourism and industry should have improved income levels of those affiliated with the sectors faster than those employed elsewhere. Towards this end, the City’s comprehensive land use plan and city development strategy program will be designed to have a mix poverty alleviating program addressed to the marginalized segment of society. In terms of physical development, Lapu-Lapu City shall be an expanded growth center complete with updated ICT and inter-modal transportation facilities, sustainable water and power supply, effective drainage and sewerage systems and waste treatment facility with beautifully landscaped roads. Inter-local government cooperation is deemed necessary as Mactan Island is part of the Cebu Metropolis – where integrated urban infrastructure and common service facilities can be better managed. Public-Private partnership or joint-venture will increase investment for revenue-generating projects. Coordination with the national agencies and other implementing bodies will help achieve the development vision. This includes the monitoring and evaluation of on-going and pipe-lined foreign-assisted projects, line agency priority programs/projects and new proposals to be funded by private investors.

59


The adopted development strategy shall put in place measures to dictate where development shall occur. This is anchored on a development philosophy of compatibility, efficiency and sustainable urbanization. The development of tourism and industry is designed to ensure co-existency and complimentation over a long period. To achieve this, a well designed hierarchy of urban settlement pattern and sound land use plan shall be prepared and approved/adopted by legislation.



Land Use Plan

INTRODUCTION Lapu-Lapu City is fast expanding in terms of socio-economic activities due to the presence of the Mactan Export Processing Zone (MEPZ), CLIP and tourist area development. The MEPZ has been expanded with the establishment of MEPZ 2 and the Cebu Light Industrial Park. Tourism, on the other hand has likewise taken its hold on the whole island of Mactan the last five years. The shape of the beach areas are now overshadowed by plush beach resorts and high-rise resorts with elaborately manicured landscape and immaculate beach fronts. Lapu-Lapu City now is considered as a premier tourist destination and tourism has slowly become an economic base beside the MEPZ. Both industrial and tourism expansion propels the population growth of the island due to migration of workers for the two fast growing sectors. Both sectors also benefited the presence of the Mactan Cebu International Airport. But even with the airport, industrial and tourism expansion, the growth of the whole Metro Cebu Area is reason enough for the high population growth. The tremendous growth of tourism and industry as well as the concomitant growth of population are proven by the increasing demand for land for industrialization, commercial, tourism as well as housing subdivisions and residential needs. The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) for 2000-2009, has emphasized that each year the scarce resource of Lapu-Lapu City is being leveled off and developed to give rise to new establishments. The city is experiencing undirected development which could result to the unsustainable land use of the city. With this undirected land utilization, the City Government of Lapu-Lapu realized the major setback on policy making towards sustainable development. Thus, a major updating of the land use and zoning has been seen as a necessity.

60


1.

EXISTING LAND USE OF LAPU-LAPU CITY

The existing land use of the City is undirected and unregulated. The plan seems to be formulated in response to existing land uses at the time and with the desire of local planners to put up pockets of industrial areas in sparsely populated and developed areas without regard for harmony and compatibility. The existing land use map (see map) shows that the commercial establishments are concentrated on the western portion of the city and along the first Mactan-Mandaue Bridge to Marigondon Road Corridor. MEPZ 1 occupies the north western portion of the city, MEPZ 2 and Light industry in the interior portion. The beach resort/tourism areas are along the eastern strip of the island. The rest of the area are left for residential use, intermixed with the other pre-determined land uses. 2.

PROPOSED LAND USE OF LAPU-LAPU CITY

Land use planning is now the primary concern among development planners as the City of Lapu-Lapu, now a highly-urbanized city, gears toward the next century. The main issue is how to put Lapu-Lapu City in a better perspective for future development, in line with internalization strategy of the Cebu Integrated Area Development Master Plan while preserving and enhancing the natural environment consistent with the thrust of environmental protection, disaster-resillent and with consideration of being a prime tourist destination in the Philippines. In the updating of the Lapu-Lapu City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), there are basic considerations which were adopted so that full utilization of the land will be realized. One of these is the existence of the international airport at the heart of the city, the existing Mactan Export Processing Zones and the existing Tourism activities especially on the eastern coast of the Island. Other considerations also are the provision of commercial uses along the roads which will address the needs of its adjacent land uses. And the major consideration being adopted is the plan of the city to develop a reclamation project in the northern part of the city. In the preparation of the updated CLUP, the proposed land use plan must focus on the limited land area of the City and the heavy demand for utilities such as water and power. The demand and pressure exerted by both the industrial and tourism sectors needs prioritization of the issues, strategies under certain parameters. Commercial Area

61


The proposed urban and commercial area for Lapu-Lapu City is expanded from the present location at the Poblacion and Pajo to cover the entire stretch from the Poblacion up to the MEPZ boundary and widens up to the airport boundary. This area will service the commercial requirements for the industry and other support service sectors. Additionally, the presence of an international airport will create an international office hub in this area where international companies may put up their regional offices, especially those which cater to freight handling and communications business. The commercial area extends from the western portion traversing across the city, passing through Barangay Gun-ob up to Barangay Marigondon. Another commercial agglomeration will be set up in Marigondon, Suba-basbas, Babag, Canjulao, Pajac and Bankal areas to service the tourism zone at the eastern shoreline. This urban and commercial expansion will utilize strips of the areas on both sides of the Mactan Circumferential Road and City Roads. In Olango Island, a commercial district will be established at the heart of Barangay Sta, Rosa where the wharf/ferry landing is located. This will serve the commercial needs of the island. The commercial district will extend on both sides of the In the proposed reclamation project of the city, commercial districts will be developed to service the requirements of the tourism, housing and industry sectors of which the reclamation are mainly designed for,

Tourism Under the proposed tourism development, the eastern strip of Mactan Island stretching from Barangay Punta Engaño in the North to Barangay Suba-Basbas in the South covering portions of Barangays Mactan, Maribago, Marigondon and Agus are being reserved for tourism purposes. Likewise, a considerable area in the proposed MNRDP is also allotted for tourism development. The tourism zone will house world class beaches, resorts and hotels that may range from cottage type or low rise structures to high-density high-rise buildings catering to the high-end market. Other related support establishments will intersperse the area. The zone will cater foreign and domestic visitors. The zone will also have convention centers both for local and international conferences. The other side allocated for tourism is the eastern part of the island of Olango. The proposed area is along the eastern coastal zone of Olango Island facing Bohol Strait and the Islets of Caubian, Caohagan and Pangan-an. This site will differ slightly in land use 62


compared to that of the main Mactan Island in the sense that the preservation of ecology will be the prime concern in tourism development. This eco-tourism type of activity will promote sustainable development of the rich ecological system of the area. The Tourism area of Olango will be anchored on the adjacent environmentally protected area of the Olango Wildlife Sanctuary. To a greater degree than possible, tourism in this island should be limited to daytime visitors, prompting day tour arrangements, where visitors stay at mainland Mactan and visit Olango during daytime. In the long term, tourism activities in Lapu-Lapu City, especially on the high-end, international scenario will be concentrated on tourism islands to be reclaimed in the north. Residential Area The residential area of Lapu-Lapu City is proposed to be situated in Barangays Gun-ob, Canjulao, Babag, Calawisan, Bankal, Pajac, Basak, Maribago, Mactan and Agus. The residential area in the island of Olango, is proposed to be located at Barangays Sta. Rosa, Talima, Baring, Tingo, Caw-oy, Sabang and San Vicente. A socialized housing is also proposed to be developed in Barangay Canjulao. Environmental Protection The coastline of Barangays Suba-basbas, Basak, Babag and Calawisan facing the Municipality of Cordova shall be declared as environmentally protected zone. Recreational Area/Park/Green To preserve a wholesome and balanced land use, certain areas of the city will have to be kept open and green. These are designated as recreational areas and areas for parks and open spaces. A strip of land between the two bridges at the Mactan side is proposed for a new recreational park. Areas that are designated as green or open space including those found within residential subdivisions may also serve as a recharge area for the city’s underground water. Parks, greens and open spaces are also designated in the proposed north and south reclamation projects. Industrial/Special Economic Zone/ICT Park 63


The attractiveness of Lapu-Lapu City to export processing industries prompted the development planners to expand the present industrial land. Due to limited land for expansion, industrial areas are proposed in Mactan North Reclamation and Mactan South Reclamation Projects. Airport The present size and area of the Mactan Cebu International Airport is currently shared with Mactan Benito Ebuen Air Base with a total land area of 797 hectares. Institutional Institutional areas are where the schools, churches, government centers, hospitals and other related public and social service facilities are to be located, as projected on the future land use of the city. These facilities do not necessarily occupy so much large space.

Memorial Parks/Cemeteries The existing privately-owned memorial park should be preserved and should maintain its beautiful aesthetics. Cemeteries within the city will have to be enhanced and improved. Another proposed site to be developed by the city will be located in Barangay Subabasbas and Mactan to address the needs in the southern and eastern parts of the island.

Mactan North Reclamation Development Project (MNRDP) The MNRDP, established as a Special Economic Zone by the President is now on the pre-implementation phase. The proposed island-type reclamation is about 400 hectares and is divided into four (4) island-areas or lots separated by waterways. The breakdown of the general land use plan of the proposed MNRDP is shown below:
