 CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION

Brief Profile of the Municipality

Brief History
It is believed that Angat got its name from the Tagalog word “Angat” which means an elevated piece
of land or a community living in prominence during the Spanish era.

History related that Angat was a tributary to the town of Quingua (now Plaridel). This can be shown
by the fact that Angat River links to the town of Quingua. After being a tributary of Quingua, it
became a part of San Miguel. In 1776, it was made a part of Bocaue when the administration of Sta.
Maria de Pandi estate was placed under the Dominican Friars. This transfer was made possible
through the efforts of the Dominicans who owned most of the fertile lands in the place.

When the Spaniards came to the town it brought a different way of life to the whole community. The
people were made to embrace the catholic faith by force rather than by conviction. And the
inhabitants were subjected to forced labor particularly in the construction of the church and the
presidencia.

Until today, there were remaining Spanish houses that can still be found in the municipality. The
Catholic church of the municipality bears engraved roman numerals “MBCXII” which, according to
the old people was the year when Angat was converted into a regular municipality. (Source: MPDO)

Demographic Profile
The demographic profile provides general information on the population composition and distribution
of the area, and provides the basis for social and economic planning considerations such as labor force
and dependence, school age population, economic centers of population, urbanization trends and
growth points.

Overall Municipal Population, Overall Province Population. Official data from the National
Statistics Office (NSO) records the total provincial population of Bulacan at 2,919,433. Population
Size and Structure. The 2010 census on population conducted by the National Statistics Office
shows that Municipality of Angat has a total population of 55,332 having an average annual growth

5|Page
rate of 1.83% between 2000 to 2010.There are 12,304 households with an average household size of
4.5.

Sulucan continues to have the highest population at 5,935 or 9.71% of the total population. Sta. Cruz
has the most number of households (1,503 HHs). On the other hand, Baybay has the least population
(887), representing 1.45%% of the total population, and has also the least number of households (216
HHs). This can be attributed to its mountainous topography, inadequate infrastructure and poor
transportation network in the area.

A. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This feasibility study is a proposal for a manufacturing plant to be located at an industrial

zone outside Metro Manila. My goal is to find a suitable site for construction of a manufacturing plant

where I can use for my feasibility study a site that can provide by itself and to justify it with

supporting documents, I gathered during the interview I conducted at the Municipal Hall.

11 | P a g e
 I have chosen Angat, Bulacan as my target municipality where I will locate a suitable site for

a manufacturing plant. The lot they recommended is located at Encanto Angat, Bulacan. It is under

industrial zone which makes it suitable for a manufacturing plant.

The study involves data gathering and actual site visit. In data gathering part I went to Angat,

Bulacan and I conducted an interview with the municipal officials. In actual site visit part, I used the

data I gathered from the municipal hall to locate the actual site that I will be using in this study.

All data and information I gathered throughout the interview are considered in the

development of the study to make a feasible proposal.

B. INTRODUCTION

A factory, manufacturing plant or a production plant is an industrial site, usually consisting of

buildings and machinery, or more commonly a complex having several buildings, where workers
manufacture goods or operate machines processing one product into another.

Factories arose with the introduction of machinery during the Industrial Revolution when the capital
and space requirements became too great for cottage industry or workshops. Early factories that
contained small amounts of machinery, such as one or two spinning mules, and fewer than a dozen
workers have been called "glorified workshops".

Most modern factories have large warehouses or warehouse-like facilities that contain heavy
equipment used for assembly line production. Large factories tend to be located with access to
multiple modes of transportation, with some having rail, highway and water loading and unloading
facilities.
12 | P a g e
Factories may either make discrete products or some type of material continuously produced such as
chemicals, pulp and paper, or refined oil products. Factories manufacturing chemicals are often called
plants and may have most of their equipment – tanks, pressure vessels, chemical reactors, pumps and
piping – outdoors and operated from control rooms. Oil refineries have most of their equipment
outdoors.

Discrete products may be final consumer goods, or parts and sub-assemblies which are made into
final products elsewhere. Factories may be supplied parts from elsewhere or make them from raw
materials. Continuous production industries typically use heat or electricity to transform streams of
raw materials into finished products.

The term mill originally referred to the milling of grain, which usually used natural resources such as
water or wind power until those were displaced by steam power in the 19th century. Because many
processes like spinning and weaving, iron rolling, and paper manufacturing were originally powered
by water, the term survives as in steel mill, paper mill, etc.

C. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Officers. Data gathering is required to justify the proposal.

Site analysis must be provided in the proposal to complete the study.

14 | P a g e
E. PROPOSAL FRAMEWORK

Proposal Framework describes the methodology of how I gathered the necessary information

and data that will be used in the entire study. It also explains the guidelines used for the proposal and

everything that justifies the feasibility study.

INTERVIEW/DATA GATHERING

Through the interview I conducted with the municipal officers I am able to obtain documents

necessary for the completion of my feasibility study. Those documents are the following;

 Comprehensive Land Use Plan

 Municipal Ecological Profile

 Climate Change Vulnerability and Disaster Risk Assessment

 The Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance of the Municipality of Sta. Rita, Pampanga

 Tax Declaration of Real Property

 Zoning Certificate

SITE SELECTION

I followed a site criterion in choosing my proposed site in this feasibility study. This site

criteria will be explained and elaborated in chapter II of this feasibility study.

 CHAPTER II
SITE SELECTION CRITERIA

A. CRITERIA FOR SITE SELECTION

Site selection is the process of examining multiple options and assessing their relative

advantages and disadvantages. Site selection comes after the need’s assessment is completed. If you

select a site before the need’s assessment, you may compromise on key design aspects due to site

limitations.

Before choosing a piece of property or a building, confirm that the zoning allows you to

occupy that site. This should be investigated during the due diligence period prior to closing on the

selection. Other due diligence items include verifying that adequate public utilities are available,

determining that there are no environmental hazards on the site, and conducting a geotechnical (soils)

investigation if new construction is planned.

These are the criteria I have considered in my proposal;

Site Selection Criteria

LOCATION

 Is the site accessible to target student demographics? Can the site serve as a community hub?

 Is the site accessible by public transportation and convenient for workers and staff?

 Are nearby traffic levels acceptable?

 Is the site visible to passersby on foot or in vehicles?

 Are adjacent businesses appropriate?

 Is there a history of crime or vandalism in the area?

 Is the area suitable for proposed events?

17 | P a g e
SITE/LAND

 Is there access to utilities (e.g., electricity, sewer, water, gas, and phone)?

 Will the site require heavy maintenance (e.g., topography, drainage, retaining walls, or

geotechnical issues)?

 Is the proposed use for the project permitted by zoning? (For example, can you build the type

of project you want on the site?)

 Is there adequate space for parking?

 Are the soil conditions conducive to the project’s structural needs?

B. MANAGEMENT ASPECT

Management is one of the problems that one will encounter after the project has been

completed. This should be addressed prior to the start of construction to avoid problems appearing

after the development is completed.

I have addressed three (3) factors that will affect the project if not analyzed early and those

are;

 ROAD NETWORKS

 BRIDGES

 WASTE MANAGEMENT

 RESOURCES SUPPLY

ROAD NETWORKS

18 | P a g e
 Road networks decides whether a site is accessible or not, site bounded by roads has

advantage to another site that is not.

Sites bounded by roads will have faster deliveries, faster and better transportation system of

supplies, and easier egress/ingress activities.

Transportation Network

Roads
Angat is traversed by a national road connecting the central part of the municipality in
Barangay Sta. Cruz to the municipalities of Norzagaray to the east and Bustos. Aside from Sta. Cruz,
it also passes Brgys. San Roque, Marungko, Sulucan, Taboc, Donacion and Niugan (Bustos end). The
national road is under the jurisdiction of the DPWH’s Bulacan 2nd District Engineering Office. The
cemented road has a total length of 10.95 km within the municipality and is open to all types of
vehicles, including trucks that carry heavy loads such as aggregates and earth sourced from the
various quarrying sites in Angat and Norzagaray.

Other roads in the circulatory system of the town include provincial roads (15.87 km.),
municipal roads (8.61 km.) and barangay roads (3,368.35 km). Shown in Table __ below are lengths
of the various roads (per category) with respect to the type of road surface. These roads are open to
two-way traffic.

Provincial roads are also under the jurisdiction of the Bulacan 2nd District Engineering Office,
and serve the interior barangays of Angat and are tributaries to the national road. The provincial roads
traverse barangays Sta. Cruz, and Encanto, and directly connects to the town of Pandi. Another
alignment serves barangays Sta. Lucia, Binagbag, Baybay and Banaban. A third provincial road
serves as a circumferential road in barangay Marungko. From these national and provincial roads,
barangay roads of various widths and type of road surface are connected.

19 | P a g e
Industrial operations in Angat and nearby towns of Norzagaray and Doña Remedios Trinidad, which
include earth, sand or gravel quarrying require the constant use of these roads, causing breakage of the
road pavements.

Barangay roads make up 98.96% of the total road length that service the daily needs of Angatenos.
However, only 22.56% of these barangay roads are topped with asphalt or concrete, and many have
been left incomplete during the development of private “residential subdivisions”. Rains contribute to
the deterioration of the unpaved roads as the road surfaces become potholed and muddy. The
unfinished road surfaces also have left poor drainage of the runoffs that accumulated on the
carriageway and caused localized flooding.

Many roads still lack road safety signages and pavement marking to guide road users and regulate
speed. This can pose serious hazards most especially at night time.

20 | P a g e
Bridges
Bridges are important components of road projects at river or creek crossings. Angat is incised by
network of creeks and rivers that all flow to the Angat River. These bridges are in good physical
condition. Assuring the structural integrity of these bridges is crucial in keeping the serviceability of
these bridges to all types of users. Table __ shows the bridges with lengths ranging from 6 meters to
35 meters.

Regulation on the use of these bridges must be aided by a notice to the public of the maximum load
(bridge capacity) certain bridges can carry. Further, the regulation sign should help in averting any
accident that may be attributed to the weakening of certain structural member of the bridge. All
bridges in Angat are made of concrete. Regular upkeep of these bridges are done on a periodic basis
or as the need arises. Regular monitoring of the bridges is shared by the DPWH 2nd Engineering
District of Bulacan and the Office of the Municipal Engineer of Angat.

Regulating the use these bridges is not possible without the bridge capacity signages.

21 | P a g e
Transport terminals
Means of travel between points in and outside Angat include any of the available public transportation
vehicles: bus (long-distance travel), public utility jeeps (PUJ) between towns and tricycle. Such public
transportation is available in the urban areas of the municipality. Tricycles and jeepney terminals are
located within the immediate vicinity of the Angat Public Market.

These terminals occupy street carriageways surrounding the public market, further reducing the
capacity of the roads.

Buses that travel to and from destinations outside Angat wait for passengers at a bus terminal along
M.A. Fernando street (Alejo Santos Highway). The bus terminal, however, does not have facilities
such as toilets, sitting area for waiting passengers, and appropriate sheds to protect the waiting
passengers from heat and rain.

Buses entering and emerging to and from the bus terminal temporarily cause road congestion in their
immediate vicinity. At any time, only two buses can be accommodated in the bus terminal.

As of this writing, 37 units of buses serve the town (to and from Cubao and Divisoria), 158 public
utility jeepneys serve as inter-town transportation to nearby Norzagaray, Baliuag (via Plaridel
bypass), Angat to Doña Remedios Trinidad and Pandi-Sta. Maria. Transportation is dominated by the
tricycles totaling 660 units. Transportation services in the town become scarce after 8:00 o’clock in
the evening.

C. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECT

Manufacturing is an important part of the government because it creates high-paying jobs,

drives technological innovation, and generates more economic activity than any other sector. If the

government supports the development of the proposed manufacturing plant, they will both share the

risk and the economic growth that will take effect depending on the success of the manufacturing

plant

Construction of Manufacturing Plant in the area will open the opportunity for the local people

to get a decent job. This will not only help the people of the area but also the municipal as a whole in

projecting economic growth.

23 | P a g e
D. ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECT

We all know developing a site requires the inevitable destruction or modification of

environment around the chosen site. Construction requires excavating the land which can cause the

removal of trees and vegetation present in the area.

However, the chosen site only possesses few trees located at the rear of the site all damages

would only be inflicted to grasses in the site

B. S-W-O-T ANALYSIS

Other than the Site Criteria mentioned in the earlier chapter there is another method in

selecting the suitable site for the manufacturing plant. It is called SWOT Analysis which is consist of

Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats.

The SWOT analysis helps the feasibility study in determining if the selected site is suitable

for the proposed manufacturing plant.

STRENGHTS

The chosen site has its strengths and weaknesses which we can address or take advantage.

The site having bounded by a provincial road makes it easy for accessing the site thus making the

delivery or transportation easier. The site is in elevated part of the city making it almost immune to

floods

WEAKNESSES

The only problem in the proposed site that I think will not affect it massively is the lot shape.

The site being long and narrow will limit the movement of vehicles that will enter the site.

OPPORTUNITIES

The proposed manufacturing plant can open job opportunities for the local people. It can

increase the area’s economic growth if it becomes successful.

THREATS

30 | P a g e
 The only threat that will become a problem would be the distance of proposed site to the City

facilities. The selected site is located at the outskirts of the city to isolate it from the people and

resulting it to be a bit far from facilities like Hospitals, municipal hall, police stations, and markets

As a sustainable municipality, the principles of sustainable development shall be very

apparent in the everyday life of the average resident. This shall be seen on the attitude of the citizens
towards solid waste management, on their heightened awareness on the implications of activities on the
quality of the environment, on the calculated utilization of chemicals in primary production activities,
and in their active participation in decision-making for the pursuit of economic activities using local

economic development initiatives and activities shall not impair future generations’ abilities to engage
in similar activities.

In this future scenario, the use of solar panels or of biogas digesters shall be common sights.

More specifically, this zoning ordinance aims to:

 Direct higher value-adding economic activities, such as commercial, manufacturing and
industrial activities, towards areas where the negative impacts on settlements and food
production areas shall be minimal while providing the economies of scale required of such
economic activity;

 Provide for settlement development or expansion to accommodate the increasing

population towards areas where there will be minimum pressure on the integrity of the
environment or on highly productive agricultural lands, and away from areas exposed to
natural hazards thereby minimizing physical vulnerabilities of families;

 Improve intra-municipal and inter-barangay physical mobility of goods and the people;

 Identify key infrastructure projects for which the support of Angat’s development
stakeholders shall be rallied;

 Provide a policy environment that is predictive and a solid basis for objective
implementation to attract new investments through the adoption of a zoning ordinance and
effective institutions for its implementation; and

SECTION 9. Interpretation of Zone Boundaries. Where uncertainty exists with respect to the boundaries of
any of the zones in the zoning maps, the following rules shall apply:

a) Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of streets or highways,
street lines or highway right-of-way lines, such centerlines, streetlines or highway lines shall be construed
to be the boundaries.
35 | P a g e
 b) Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall
be construed to be the boundaries.
c) Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the centrelines or
streetlines of streets, or the centrelines or the right-of-way lines of highways, such zone boundaries shall
be construed as being parallel thereto and at such distance there from as indicated on the zoning maps.
If no distance is given, such dimension shall be determined by the use of the scale of the zoning maps.
