COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN

MABALACAT CITY
Planning Period 2016-2024
Executive Summary

I. VISION

By 2024, Mabalacat City is envisioned to be the region's premier commercial-industrial hub with
healthy, disciplined, empowered and vigilant citizenry, living in a scenic, ecologically balanced,
and resilient environment and with an inclusive economy under a transparent, accountable and
responsive local leadership and governance

II. BRIEF PROFILE

Mabalacat was made into a city within Pampanga province on July 21, 2012 with the idea of
integrating its growth and development within the context of Central Luzon as an industrial
heartland, a green corridor and a potential tourism hub. Mabalacat has the natural competitive
advantages of vast lands and water resources to make this a reality. The weight of
implementing this plan is directly placed on local government units using a zoning ordinance to
promote general welfare and protect public interest.

1. Physical Profile

Mabalacat city is located in the northern part of Pampanga.  Tarlac’s Bamban municipality
bound it on the north, by Magalang on the east, and by Porac and Angeles Cith on the south. It
is composed of 27 barangays and has a total land area of 16.677 hectares. Most of the built-up
areas of the city are on the east side with an elevation of 51 to 100 meters. The areas within the
middle portion of the city, specifically within the Clark Freeport Zone, have elevation levels of
100 to 250 meters above sea level. The soil in the built in areas is composed of fine and coarse
sand.  Three major bodies of water traverse the city: Sacobia, Sapang Balen and Quitangil
rivers.

Several areas within the city are flood prone. Most of the landslide hazard would take place in
the mountainous portions of the city, particularly barangays Calumpang and Dau. The western
portion of the city is prone to erosion with erosion hazard ranges from slight to severe in the
mountainous areas of the City.

2. Impacts of Climate Change and Hazards:

In cognizance of the impacts of climate change and disaster risk, these issues were integrated
in the land use plan in order to form a resilient environment of the city through a detailed climate
and disaster risk assessment. Risk maps for Mabalacat City were processed for the five
exposure units- population, urban use, natural resource production, critical point facilities, and
lifeline utilities. The table below summarizes the risk areas for each exposure unit.

Risk Scoring for Mabalacat City

Exposure Unit Low Risk Moderate Risk High Risk
Population 156.12 355.73 192.67
Urban Use 60.23 134.32 479.44
Natural Resource Production 498.52 930.47 1099.36
Critical Point Facilities 9.87 11.15 3.29
Lifeline Utilities 40.99 94.57 38.00

3. Demography

Mabalacat City's population totals 215,610 based on the 2010 census. This accounts for 9.21%
of the province's total, and is the third highest after Angeles city and San Fernando city.  The
population growth rate has been consistent for the past 10 years.  In 2010, barangays Dau,
Dapdap, and Sapang Biabas had the largest population with 48,809, 35,386, and 25,800
respectively persons while Mangalit, Calumpang, Sapang balen had the smallest population
with 803, 792, and 166 persons respectively. In terms of population density, barangays Dau,
Dapdap, and Camachiles had the largest population densities in 2010 with 166.86, 120.98, and
34.66 persons per hectare respectively. Barangays Mangalit, Calumpang, and Sapangbalen, on
the other hand, had the smallest population densities with 2.75, 2.71, and 0.57 persons per
hectare.

Based on the population data from 2000 to 2010, the city maintained nearly the same growth
rate from 2000 to 2010. It exhibited the largest population growth rate of 2.5% from 2000-2007
and displayed its lowest growth of 2.0% during the period 2007-2010. This positive population
growth rate may be attributed to factors such as urbanization and urban sprawl of its
neighboring towns such as Angeles City. In 2007, the city had a total dependency ratio of 58.

4. Social Services

One government hospital and two private hospitals as well as 29 public and 20 private health
facilities supply the city's health needs. As of 2014, the city has a total of four doctors, one

Mabalacat City has 1:41 at the elementary level while it recorded a teacher to student ratio of
1:53 at the secondary level.

The cohort survival rates, based on the data from SY 2011-2012 are 95.3 and 87.7 for
elementary schools and secondary schools, respectively. In the same period, the completion
rates recorded were 93.6 and 85.1 for elementary schools and secondary schools, respectively.
The repetition rate for the elementary level was 2% in school year 2011-2012. At the secondary
level, repetition rates were considerably higher: 6% in SY 2011-2012, and 5% in SY 2012-2013.
For police facilities, Mabalacat City has one police station located at barangay Poblacion
serving as headquarters and four sub-stations located at Dau, Poblacion, Mabiga and Dapdap.

national housing target system for poverty reduction in 2011 indicate that there were a total of
2,688 poor households in Mabalacat City with Dapdap, Sapang Biabas, and Dau having the
largest number of poor households.

5. Economy

The city's economy revolves around its primary sector (agriculture, fisheries, livestock and
poultry), secondary sector (business establishments) and tertiary sectors (commerce and trade,
industries and tourism). Crop production is one of the main economic activities of Mabalacat
City. Rice and corn, the two main crops of the city, have contributed to its economic growth.
Twenty-one establishments provide post harvest facilities and support services in Mabalacat
City. Two of these are milling facilities located at Dapdap and Camachiles. The city further
boasts of 14 multi-purpose drying pavements found in several areas, three market centers.
located in Clark, Dau, and Poblacion, one warehouse in Mabiga, and one fish storage at
Camachiles.

In 2013, livestock production in the city consisted of cattle, pigs, and carabaos. Cattle and
carabao raising are classified backyard production while pig production is considered
commercial. Chicken production is classified commercial while duck production is categorized
backyard.

In 2014, the most prominent business type in the city is trading followed by services, lessors,
finance, and manufacturing. For five years now, the same rankings have been observed for
these business types in terms of the number of business permits issued by the City’s Business
Permits and Licensing Office. In terms of economic activities, the 2013 data reveal that
wholesale and retail trade have largest number of activities, followed by real estate renting and
business; financial intermediation; education; and communication.

There are 10 tourism establishments in the city. Of this number, two are considered historical:
Kamikaze East and Kamikaze (HODM), which are found in Tabun and San Francisco. Two are
religious establishments, namely, Goddess of Peace Shrine located in the Clark Freeport Zone,
and Our Lady of Parish Church found in Barangay Poblacion. Four are man-made
establishments: Capt. Colin Kelly Drive at Clark, Paradise Ranch and Zoocobia at Calumpang,
and Marina Golf and country club at barangay Dolores. Finally, two are natural establishments
found in Calumpang (Hanauan Falls and Sacobia River), considered protected areas in the city.
Mabalacat City has available facilities and services that support tourism. Most of these facilities
are inns, hotels, villas, and restaurants, which can be found in barangay Dau and inside Clark.

6. Physical Infrastructure (Urban development)

Mabalacat city has a total of 6 km of national roads, 7.8 km of provincial roads, 15.5 km of
city/municipal roads, and 3.4 km alley roads. All roads are made of concrete except two. There
are 6 bridges which are made of concrete and are all in good condition.

There are 12,484 urban households served with electricity in Mabalacat City while a total of
35,421 water connections serve 22 barangays according to the Mabalacat Water District. Of this
total number, 34,044 are domestic connections, 1,523 commercial connections, and 184
government and other connections. The average water consumption is 21 cubic meters per day
for domestic sources, 32 cubic meters per day for commercial, and 58 cubic meters per day for
other sources.

7. Natural Environment

Two Materials Recovery Facilities (MRFs) are located at barangays Duquit and Sapang Balen
within the city. The Duquit MRF collects garbage from barangays Dau, Duquit, and LakandulThe
city has also tied up with Holcim Philippines, Inc. on reducing the volume of waste, being
disposed at the landfill. Recyclable materials or “Holcimables” are collected by the company,
and used in cement production. Biodegradable wastes are turned into fertilizer, and are later
given to farmers. in this connection, only residual wastes are left and compose the only
materials hauled to the sanitary land fill, and this process redounds in reduced fees paid by the
city a while the central MRF in Sapang Balen collects wastes from all the other barangays.

8. Land Use Development Trend

Agricultural lands, which include idle lands for development and crop production areas, had the
largest area with 120.1 square km, comprising 71.98% of the total land area of the city. This is
due to the fact that only its eastern side has been developed. Infrastructure areas constitute the
smallest land area of 0.11 km, about .06% of the total land area.

III. DEVELOPMENT CONCERNS

The development concerns and constrains were derived from conducted situational analysis
and various participatory workshops. These are as follows:
 Environment: There is a need for improvement of solid waste management; pollution of
rivers and bodies of water; incidence of flash floods; worsening air pollution; and, soil
erosion in areas adjacent to bodies of water.
 Local economy: The local economy of the City relies heavily on its micro, small, and
medium enterprises (MSMEs) which are at risk of incurring losses due to competition
with bigger enterprises that enter the City or are located in nearby localities and adjacent
communities. In the same vein, local farmers need attention since most of the
agricultural areas of the city are being converted to other uses
 Physical: internal roads of the city are at risk of deterioration, particularly when used by
heavy-duty trucks coming from the Clark Freeport Zone. Traffic congestion happens at
the bottlenecks and chokepoints in various areas of the City, particularly in Dau.
Insufficiency of ancillary road facilities must be addressed to keep the City safe. Utilities
such as water and electricity, and communication services are very accessible in most
barangays of the City. But the upper barangays of Mabalacat are still deprived of water
services. This problem needs immediate attention.
 Social: High crime rate has been recorded in the City of Mabalacat. The Senior Citizens
are apparently not a priority of the City government. Issues in the health and education
sector are also not uncommon. Likewise, there are unemployment issues and housing
needs that have to be addressed.

IV. DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITIES

A growing number of professionals and skilled workers boost the city's economy. Clark Freeport
Zone generates the needed jobs through industry linkages and is good reason for the
government to create more technical-vocational courses and offer scholarship programs.

The completed 94-kilometer Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx) provides a vital lifeline

between three hubs of production and logistics that are actively pursued by both government
and private sectors. The merging of the hubs will most probably evolve into a competitive
Logistics Corridor in Asia. Aside from boosting the development potentials of the Subic Bay
Freeport Zone, the Clark Freeport and Special Economic Zone, and the techno-park in Tarlac
City, the SCTEx has also created opportunities for complementary industries along the
expressway.

One of the advantages of Mabalacat is the presence of major highways of Central Luzon: the
North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), the Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway and the MacArthur
Highway. This road system energizes the economic development of the City with a renewed
flow of goods and people. It is important, however, to maintain good traffic flow in the City so
that the steps to urbanization will be rendered smoothly and easily. Upgrading as well as
constant maintaining of roads is essential. Enhancing further the infrastructure of Mabalacat can
support not only the City’s growth but also Clark Freeport Zone’s needs.

V. MAJOR DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

The major development foals of the city highlights the proposed functional role fo the city vis-à-
vis Central Luzon which is for Mabalacat City to become its premier commercial-industrial hub
driven by:
 a healthy, disciplined, empowered and vigilant citizenry
 a scenic, ecologically balanced, and resilient environment- both built and natural
environment
 an inclusive economy
 a transparent, accountable, and responsible local leadership and governance

To attain the city’s vision, the following objectives have been identified:
 Strengthen SMEs in the City by providing access to micro-financing institutions for
capital and technical assistance
 Provide farmers with sufficient safety nets amidst competition from outside the City
 Maintain agricultural lands for self-sufficiency and food security
 Harmonize development activities of the City and its adjoining Clarkfield Freeport Zone
 Establish a greenbelt or open space in the City
 Develop potential tourist attractions
 Meet the required personnel-population ratio for social service personnel (health,
education, social welfare, protective services)
 Create long-term linkages with target companies for employment
 Reduce crime rates
 Implement and maintain an efficient and effective solid waste management system in the
city
 Promote clean air practices
 Protect settlements prone to flooding and soil erosion
 Create a sustainable public transportation system
 Create better vehicle circulation within the city
 Construct effective drainage system
 Develop adequate & strategically located ancillary road facilities
 Ensure that all households with access to power and safe drinking water
 Ensure that households are being served by local waterworks system
 Ensure that all households have sanitary toilets
 Provide all communities with telephone and communication facilities
 Increase availability of solid waste/treatment/disposal and method facilities in the city.

VI. DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS AND SPATIAL STRATEGY

To reflect the functional role of the City as stated in its vision (i.e. to become a premier
industrial-commercial hub in Central Luzon), the development thrust identified for the city is the
combination of commercial and industrial development thrusts. The spatial strategy for the city
follows a multi-nodal development scenario three major spatial growth centers or development
zones with reference to their respective characteristics suitable for their projected roles or
functions.

The proposed Industrial Zone comprises of the barangays of Bundagul, Paralayunan,

Mangalit, Sta. Maria, and Sapang Balen. In the area is the TECO Special Economic Zone where
Trust International Paper Corporation (TIPCO, a major player in the paper manufacturing
industry) is currently located.
The Agricultural-Tourism Development Zone will be composed of two sub-spatial
development zones namely: the Agricultural Zone and the Tourism Zone. The Agricultural Zone
will be located in the barangays of Bical, Duquit, and Sta Maria. The Tourism Zone, on the other
hand, shall comprise the three barangays near Clark Freeport Zone namely: Calumpang,
Macapagal Village, and Marcos Village.

The Commercial Development Corridor with its strategic location and proximity to the three
spatial development zones will further interconnect the entire City through an inter-nodal
circulation system. The Commercial Development Corridor comprising of the barangays of Dau,
Camachiles, Mabiga, Sto. Rosario, San Francisco, Poblacion, San Joaquin, and Tabun will be
the commercial business district of the City.

The Residential Zone shall comprise mainly the barangays of Dau, Camachiles, Lakandula,
and Duquit. In addition to these major spatial development zones as identified in the preferred
spatial strategy, several other zones are pinpointed to ensure sustainable development in
Mabalacat City. The concept of sustainable development sees the critical balance of economic,
social, and environment goals. In this regard, areas that are to be conserved or protected are
also identified in the structure/concept plan as Conservation Areas, to include the forest areas
having slopes higher than 18% and comprising the western side of Dau, Macapagal, and
Calumpang.
