CHAPTER I
BASIC INFORMATION
I.
PROFILE OF ROXAS CITY, CAPIZ
The town of Capiz, as the seat of the provincial government, has its own officials
headed by a gobernadorcillo. Available records show that the first gobernadorcillo of
this town was Don Ignacio Quintin (in 1772) and the last was Don Juan M. Albar (in
1892). In 1893, Don Eleno Villaruz was named capitan municipal. Don Juan M. Albar
also became the head of the municipal government of Capiz at the outbreak of the
Philippine revolution.
Brief History
Roxas City is the provincial capital of Capiz, one of the four (4) provinces which
comprise the Panay Island in the Western Visayas Group. Before the coming of the
Spaniards to the Philippines, the existence of a progressive Malayan Settlement in
Capiz had been known far and wide.
This settlement has extensive commercial relations with the islands of Luzon, Masbate,
Cebu, Mindanao and even Borneo (Burnay). Products of the people of Capiz, such as
rice, piña cloth and wine (nipa wine), and minerals were traded for articles brought from
those islands.
During the Philippine Revolution, in 1899, the revolutionary forces in Panay led by
General Ananias Diokno captured the capital of Capiz Province and forced Governor
Herrero to surrender the province. The victory of General Diokno’s forces was however,
short-lived. The American forces had landed in Panay and by December 8, 1899, have
gained complete control of the island.
Not long after reaching Philippine shores, the Spaniards heard about the settlement at
the mouth of Panay River, the old Capiz Port. The great conquistador, Miguel Lopez
de Legaspi, came to this settlement from Cebu, where he found hostile natives,
shortage of food and the Portuguese enemy.
The Americans re-established a civil government in Capiz and allowed Capitan Albar
to continue as head of the municipal government until they appointed Don Mariano
Chiyuto to take over. From December 8, 1899 to December 8, 1941, the town of Capiz,
which had been the capital of the Capiz Province, made rapid progress. Schools were
established and education was made available to the masses. Roads and bridges were
constructed.
This was in 1569, four days after Legaspi landed in Cebu.
A sagacious man, Legaspi employed the policy of persuasion in Capiz – he would not
use force if he could get what he wanted by peaceful means. After one year, they
befriended the natives and converted many of them to Christianity.
To a great extent, commerce developed as a result of the enlargement of Culasi as the
port of the province, and road connecting Iloilo, Capiz and Aklan was built and the
Philippine Railway Company was established, with its terminal station in Capiz.
With the establishment of the Spanish settlement in Capiz, the stone bridge at
Banquerohan was constructed and several houses of stone were built. In these
constructions, Chinese labor was used.
During the American Regime, several sons of the town of Capiz rose to greatness.
Foremost among them was the late Manuel A. Roxas, the last President of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines and the first President of the Republic of the
In 1590, the navy of Acapulco from Mexico made Capiz Port its arsenal (naval yard).
Here, the Spanish Armada took shelter from strong winds and from Portuguese enemy.

Box 1. Past City Mayors
Japanese invaders, who had come to Romblon, landed in the swamps at the mouth of
Panay River and took the town of Capiz in the morning of April 15, 1942. During the
period of the Japanese occupation, little of historical importance can be said or
recorded. It is needless to state that, as in other areas occupied by the enemy, suffering
and desperation characterized the plight of the people of Capiz. For three long years,
Capiz groaned under the iron heels of the Japanese, even the guerillas were harassed
by the enemy here and there.

It was only late in 1944 when the guerillas, under the overall command of General
Macario Peralta, had the capacity to hit the Japanese harder.
Meanwhile, Mac Arthur’s promise (“I shall return”) had begun to be fulfilled in Leyte and
elsewhere in the country. The next few months saw the Japanese forces in the province
gradually withdrawing from the municipal garrisons, including that in Capiz. In October
1945, Capiz was free from the Japanese rule.
Immediately after the liberation of the Philippines by the American forces, the people
of Capiz moved to rehabilitate their own. Vice-Mayor
Libertad Conlu assumed active leadership of the municipal government upon the death
of Mayor Eduardo Pardo. She was succeeded by Mayor Arturo Jugo who was the last
Mayor of Capiz, Capiz.
On April 11, 1951, President Elpidio Quirino signed into law, Republic Act No. 603,
creating the capital town of Capiz into a city and on May 12, 1951, it became a
chartered city named “Roxas City” in honor of the first president of the Republic of the
Philippines, President Manuel Acuña Roxas. Honorable Lorenzo Arnaldo was
appointed the first City Mayor.

Roxas City, Capiz
is one of the best soil types for lowland rice culture, corn, sugar cane, camote, cassava,
bananas, some fruit trees and coconuts. Soils of this series were developed from recent
alluvial deposits washed down from the nearby hills and uplands. Surface soil, clay;
brown to dark brown with reddish streaks; granular structure; soft and slightly plastic,
does not become very hard upon drying; fair organic matter content; affords good root
penetration; boundary with the subsoil, diffused and smooth.
Vegetation
Vegetation is evident in the city. Nipa palm and mangrove swamps are found along the coastal
areas.
In the urban area, plants of varying kinds, both edible and ornamental, are mostly found in
home gardens. Most shrubs and plants growing in the city and the province as well have been
artistically planted.
b. Soils of the hills and mountains are Luisiana clay loam, Sapian clay and Faraon
clay. Luisiana Clay Loam were developed from highly weathered volcanic rock
materials. The soils thus formed are deep, sometimes about three meters or more. The
relief is rolling, hilly and mountainous. Upland rice is the main crop, corn, sugar cane,
coconuts, bananas, fruit trees, vegetables and root crops are also grown; Sapian Clay
is a small portion cultivated to upland rice, corn, coconuts, bananas, beans, mungo,
and fruit trees; rest is forest and cogonal. It is also good for grazing while Faraon clay
is a soil type occupies the limestone hilly areas. Upland soil is rolling, hilly and
mountainous. The soil developed through the weathering of soft and porous coralline
limestone. The limestone rock is generally grayish but upon weathering under the
forest conditions, it turns orange to dark yellowish gray. Erosion is serious in some
places. In a normal soil profile, the surface soil is 30 centimeters thick, black clay,
compact, very sticky and highly plastic when wet, but upon drying it becomes hard.
Upland rice and corn are principal crops; banana, coconut, citrus, and root crops are
secondary crops.
Wild ducks are sometimes found around rural barangays, especially in fishing villages. Birds like
the maya costal (small birds) have made the trees in the city their habitats. Most homes have
their backyard poultries and piggeries. There are also commercial piggeries and poultries in the
city.
Soil type
There are three group principal classification of soil like: Soil series wherein it has one or more
soil types defined according to texture of the surface soil next is the Soil type wherein it is the
principal mapping unit and it has the same general characteristics as the soil series except for
the texture of the surface soil while Soil phase is a phase or a type due mainly to degree of
erosion, degree of slope, and amount of gravels and stones in the surface soil.
According to the Bureau of soils there are three general groups of soil which Roxas City has:
a. Soil of the plains and valleys are San Manuel clay loam, San Manuel sandy clay
loam and Bantog clay. San Manuel Clay Loam is principally cultivated to lowland rice,
sugar cane, corn, coconuts, fruit trees, root crops, bananas and vegetables. The soils
of this series consist of brown to pale brownish gray clay loam to sandy loam developed
from soil materials derived from recent alluvial deposits. They occur on low lying and
flat areas thus they are subject to occasional floods; San Manuel Sandy Clay Loam
is apt to be deficient in organic matter. Lowland rice is the principal crop grown, corn,
coconuts, camote, cassava, beans, peanuts, bananas and fruit trees. The surface soil
is 20 to 25 centimeters deep and is brown to grayish brown. It is loose and friable. A
regular application of farm and green manures should be observed while Bantog Clay
c. Miscellaneous land types are Hyrdosol and Beach sand. Hydrosol is generally
characterized by a brackish aqueous horizon or surface water ranging in depth from 5
to 100 centimeters. It also use for fishponds, nipa palms/swamps and mangroves while
Beach Sand is a narrow strip of land along the seashore. The relief is level to very
slightly indulating. The profile is undeveloped so that to a depth of 150 centimeters from
the surface the layer is structureless, dark-gray to brown sand with low organic matter
content. It is good for planted to coconuts, corn, camote, vegetables, peanuts and fruit
trees such as atis, guayabano, siniguelas, casoy, breadfruits, nangka, bananas,
oranges and chico.

Bodies of the water and Surface Drainage
The northern part of the City faces Visayan Sea which serves as the natural boundary between
the Island of Panay and Romblon. It is a rich fishing ground which provides employment to
residents of the coastal barangays and those who engaged in fishing industry.
Igneous Rocks:
Volcanic / Extrusive Igneous Rocks
Sibala Formation (early Eocene)
Basaltic to andesitic Lava flows with intercalation of coarse pyroclastice, fine tuff and
lituic sandstone / greywacke.
Rivers and watershed resources serve the irrigation, transportation and water supply needs of
the City. The major river that drains the City from north to south passing through the very center
of the Poblacion is the Panay River. It branches out to several minor rivers and creeks. The
upper Panay River is the main water source of the Metro Roxas Water District (MRWD). A
watershed area of 85 hectares at Catao Dam also serves as a water source for the water district
and the Paslang River located at Panitan, Capiz.
Mineral Resources
There are sixteen (16) types of Rivers such as: Panay river, caligtigan river, guinalasan river,
anibong river, palina river, Banica river, sanglay river, balijuagan river, libotong river,
cadimahan river, mongpong river, culajao river, san anton river, lawa-an river, loctugan river
and tanque river while fourteen (14) types of creeks are as follows: Bantalinao creek, agbanban
creek, cagay creek, cadimahan/bangbang creek, caligtigan creek, dinginan creek,
canagdungan creek, libotong creek, lawaan creek, abatang creek, bagay creek, adlawan creek,
ilaya creek and guinalan creek.
Natural resources, such as metallic, mineral and mountain resources are negligible. Only a
small portion of the city is covered with forest growth and non-metallic mineral resources such
as rocks. The portion of the city with forest growth covers a total land area of 525.5062 hectares
representing 5.15% of its total land area. On the other hand two (2) barangays have potential
quarries. The aggregate quarry area of these two barangays totals to 13.8659 hectares or .14%
of the total land area of the city. Table 7 below shows in detail the area of these barangays.
These areas are the existing commercial quarries of the city.
c. Sedimentary Rocks:
- Quaternary Alluvium (Holocene – Recent)
- Unconsolidated deposits of sand, silt, mud and gravel along stream, beds, banks and
on lowlands.
Geology
Regional Tectonic Setting
The rock stratigraphy of Roxas City is classified into three (3) types:
Active Volcano is represented by Kanlaon Volcano in Negros Occidental and farther north are
two dormant/dead volcanoes, the Mt. Mandalagan and Mt. Silay. The formation of the
volcanoes is related to the Negros Trench situated at the west offshore area. The trench
probably extends at the west portion of Panay Island (North-South trend) and probably
connected to the Tablas fault north of Buruanga Peninsula. Other major faults are trending in
a roughly north-south direction in West Panay. Buruanga Peninsula is believed to be a part of
North Palawan Block, a micro-continent which collided with East Panay Island.
a. Metamorphic Rocks:
-
Buruanga Metamorphic Complex (Pre-Tertiary) Folded sequence of schists, phyllite,
quantizile, metasediments, metavolcanics and massive marble.
Other metamorphic rocks which occurs as river floats are glaucophane schist
(blueschist), amphibolitics and gneissic rocks.

and Northern Iloilo in the Philippines. The airport is classified as a class 1 principal airport by
the Civil Aviation of the Philippines.
In 2013, the national government has approved the Php 215 million budget for the expansion of
the Roxas Airport including installation of night landing facilities.
The airport has an existing facilities and equipment like Passenger Terminal Building with a total
area of 790.5 square meters wherein the old building was constructed on 1975 covering an area
of 558 square meters while the new building as built on 1994 covering an area of 232.50 square
meters where the Philippine Airlines (PAL) office, Cebu Pacific office, Air Transportation Office
(ATO), Pre departure and Arrival office are located. Hence, there is a need to construct a new
Terminal building and ATO Administrative building to accommodate a maximum passenger
seating capacity and to have wider space for an overcrowded area.
It has also a Control Tower that monitors and direct traffic of aircraft, a fire service station building
equipped with Crash Fire Rescue unit with five fire trucks, Air Traffic service, Air Navigation
service, Airport Civil Security, Airport Maintenance division, Jeep and other fighting equipment.
3,914
The airport has also a Navigational Facilities like communication antennas, PAPI light, distance
to-go-markers, roving beacon light, rotating beacon, two (2) wind beacon (under repair), two (2)
wind cone at both ends of runway, taxiway lights, runway markers, approach light, runway lights,
boundary marker, Very High Frequency Omni- Range (VOR) and Emergency Power Plant with
two (2) Generator sets: a.0 DEUTZ – 80 kilo volt amperes (KVA) and b.) CATERPILLAR – 90
kilo volt amperes (KVA).
Aircraft movement consists of concrete runway and has a length of 1,890 meters x 45 meters
equivalent to 85,050 square meters in area and width of 30.00 meters partially constructed is
below the standard length requirements of 2.00 kilometers for Boeing 737 and DC 9 aircrafts
needs a runway that has a width of at least 45.00 meters. The runway has landing lights that are
very essential during night landing and inclement weather. Thus, there is a need to expand the
29
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (2019-2027)
Roxas City, Capiz
runway of 110 meters x 15 meters dimension equivalent to 1,650 square meters in area to meet
the required standard for runway.
Aircraft Movement and Volume of Passenger
As previously discussed, the Philippine Airlines and the Cebu Pacific Airlines provides daily flight
bound to Manila.
It has also an airport apron with an area of 80 meters x 136 meters equivalent to 10,880 square
meter in area, parking ramp of 150 meters x 80 meters equivalent to 12,000 square meters in
area, a turn-around pad with an area of 45 meters x 60 meters equivalent to 2,700 square
meters, a macadam stop ways with an area of 65 meters x 30 meters equivalent to 1,950 square
meters, clearway with an area of 100 meters x 100 meters equivalent to 10,000 square meters
and two (2) taxiways with an area of 75 meters x 20 meter equivalent to 1,500 square meters.
For Philippine Airlines (PAL), flights are scheduled 5:0AM – 5:45 AM daily. In 2018, the average
flights for PAL is 60 trips taking the flight route Roxas-Manila vice versa. A yearly average of
4,231 incoming passengers (from Manila) and 4,186 outgoing passengers (from Roxas City)
On the other hand, Cebu Pacific has two flight schedules. The first flight plan is scheduled 4:355:30 AM Manila – Roxas Vice Versa. The second flight plan is scheduled 3:40 – 5:45 PM. The
monthly average incoming passenger for Cebu Pacific is 8,279 while the outgoing is 8, 358.
The concrete perimeter fence has a 700 meters in length partially concrete which needs to
complete the entire area of the airport for safety reason. There is also in need to expand the
aircraft parking apron to have a bigger turn – around space.
The pre-departure area which has a seating capacity of 96 passengers is not enough to
accommodate the 109-maximum passenger of the BOEING 737 aircraft for Philippine Airlines
and 110 to 115 maximum passenger of DC – 9 Aircraft for Cebu Pacific Airlines. The arrival has
also the vehicular parking area of 360 square meters which can accommodate about 100
vehicles is not enough to provide parking space for cargo vehicles. There is a need to construct
for an expansion of Pre-departure area and an expansion of vehicular parking area to
accommodate enough public utility vehicles.

taken from forty-four (44) barangays were catered in terms of garbage collection. Others are unserved barangays, which was contained their waste by open pit dumping in their respective
areas. Other barangays not being served yet are Barangays Li-ong, Talon and the island
barangay of Olotayan. The estimated uncollected garbage every month from these un-served
barangays is more or less 240 cu. m. per month or would breakdown to around 8.0 cu. m of
waste per day. The populace served was recorded to only more or less 166,620 individuals or
97% of the total population of 171,133 for year 2017.
At the present eight (8) Barangays namely Brgys. Cagay, Lawaan, Culasi, Baybay, Banica, Bato,
Dayao, and Libas were given by the Roxas City Government one (1) garbage truck each
barangay for them to manage their own barangay garbage waste collection.
The waste management, is under the Office of the Mayor and was previously
coursed through the General Service Office, however on September 11, 2000 an Executive
Order No.11, gave rise to the creation of the PROJECT MANAGEMENT OFFICE- (solid Waste),
which sole purpose is to handle the waste management affairs. Presently, the working force is
composed of 6 administrative staff, 97 sanitary technicians and drivers, 68 street sweepers
having all in all 171 personnel.

The percentage of component city allocated to health in 2017 was P74, 470, 611 or 11.16%
against the national target of 15%. Percentage of MOOE allocated to health was P 35, 356, 461
or 47.5% which was higher than the national target of 45% and the percentage of component
city expenditure was P70, 402, 072 or 94.53% against the national target of 100%.
GSO/SCOSI
The top leading causes of mortality in Roxas City Were Coronary Artery Disease, Hypertensive
Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer, Pneumonia, Diabetes Mellitus, Pulmonary Tuberculosis
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Diseases and Cirrhosis. Most of these diseases are lifestyle
related diseases and can be preventable and treatable.
Ten leading causes of morbidity were Acute Respiratory Infections, Animal bites, Hypertension,
Pneumonia, wounds, Acute Gastroenteritis, Tuberculosis, Diabetes Mellitus, Skin disorders and
Hypersensitivity reactions. For the past years there was no epidemic of any disease noted.

Health
Environmental and Sanitation in 2018 showed only 84.6% of household with sanitary toilet
facilities against the national target of 90%. However, percentage of household with access to
safe water and percentage of drinking water sources complying microbiological standards were
100%. Only 50% of the barangays were declared Zero Open Defecation and may attribute to
increased incidents of intestinal parasitism. This data showed that the need for improvements
on the provision of sanitary toilets especially in the coastal and rural areas. A more intensive
support from the Barangay officials and from the community is needed for this situation to
improve. The solutions to the problems of illegal settlers, inadequacy of the soil or location, lack
of funds for the construction of toilets and water supply connection can be addressed in the
barangay level. These problems on toilets were identified as priority program of the Department
of Health.
The strategic pillars of F1 Plus of the Department of Health to include Health Service Delivery,
Health Regulation, Health Financing, Good Governance and performance accountability to
which the Philippine government agreed to pursue for the coming years were used as a
framework in the drafting of goals, strategies and critical interventions.
City of Roxas with 47 barangays have 1 main health center and 38 barangay health stations.
Services offered include medical and dental consultation, family planning and counselling,
prenatal consultation and birthing and newborn facility, regular immunization and micronutrient
supplementation, dispensary and laboratory services, social hygiene clinic with HIV/AIDS
treatment clinic, teens, adolescent and mental health clinic, animal bite treatment, sanitation
services, TB-DOTS and TB MDR satellite Treatment center Stimulation and Therapeutic activity
center, Medico-legal and Ambulance services.

Roxas City, Capiz
All health service providers are trained on Basic Life Support. Health Emergency Management
is in place but needs updating. The CHO Surveillance team has been very efficient in reporting
and monitoring identified cases and maintains close coordination with the Provincial Health
Other zoonotic diseases must be given the same treatment as in its human counterpart to avoid
or decrease cases in humans and maintain proper health in animals.
The office of the City Veterinarian has only one veterinarian with very few technical staff assisting
in the implementation of its programs.
The top 5 leading cause of sickness in Roxas City were Acute Respiratory Infection, Animal
Bites, Hypertension, Peumonia and Wounds (Infections).
The City Dog Pound is one necessary support facility in the eradication and control of rabies
and other diseases in dogs. It can also cater to animal welfare concerns thru proper impounding
and adoption process. Proper elimination should also be observed strictly by hiring additional
veterinarian to focus on the above duties and responsibilities
The leading causes of death in Roxas City (in no particular order) were Coronary Artery
Disease, Hypertensive Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer and Pneumonia. Most of these
diseases are preventable and treatable, as they are related to the health risks, namely, tobacco
smoke exposure, unhealthy to the high incidence of respiratory ailments particularly pulmonary
and sedentary habits. Environmental pollution from toxic emissions of vehicles, and rampant
surface burning in some areas also contribute to the high incidence of pulmonary diseases.
Incidence of lifestyle related diseases have increased due to easy access to health services.

Zoonotic Diseases
Zoonotic diseases are animal diseases that are transferable to humans. Foremost of these is
rabies considering its highly fatal and non-treatable nature. Avian Influenza or Bird Flu is already
identified among the emerging zoonotic diseases and is now present in the Philippines. Other
zoonotic diseases include Leptospirosis, Salmonellosis, Brucellosis, parasitism and a lot more
are less fatal but proves to be easily transmitted to humans.

Zoonosis does not only endanger animal health but also that of humans. It is however given
less priority due to pressing human needs forgetting the implication of equal importance of
animal health. It is as if Veterinary Services is relegated as second rate government service.
Only one Veterinarian is hired for the whole City doing veterinary public and animal health
concerns not withstanding other related programs e.g. animal welfare, meat safety and animal
production.
Despite the consistent high accomplishment on animal rabies vaccination annually, intermittent
cases of animal and even human rabies cases continue to happen. Although vaccination is the
primary activity identified in rabies eradication program, other approaches must be done to
enhance its eradication and control.

DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK
A. VISION, MISSION AND GOAL
VISION
Roxas City as the cleanest, most livable, progressive and preferred sustainable
community that preserves its natural character and historical charm.
MISSION
Roxas City commits to provide excellent public service in a transparent, efficient, and
collaborative manner in order to build and sustain a preferred community to live, work,
play and invest in.
GOAL
Evolve into a Smart and Livable City by ensuring an excellent quality of life through an
enabling and competitive economy while preserving a clean and sustainable
environment.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (2019-2027)
Roxas City, Capiz
3. Clean and Sustainable Environment
Environmental sustainability ensures the long-term availability of resources
that are vital to Roxas City’s development because the city has to survive
with limited natural resources, especially
in terms of land area.
Therefore, environmental considerations should be incorporated into land
use plan through land use zoning.
The development framework of Roxas City, Capiz is tailored based on the development
goals in order to attain its vision, that is to become a clean and progressive livable city
that is preferred by all. It aims to achieve inclusive economic development while keeping
a sustainable, safe and resilient communities:
1. Excellent Quality of Life
It should be ensured that the negative long-term impact on the environment
of identified development zones will be minimal. Environment protection at
all times should not to be at odds with economic development and this could
be done by placing the right development thrust in the right places.
The goal of development is improving the population’s quality of life
including its social and psychological well-being. Thus, it is necessary that
general welfare services will be given support specially on the infrastructure
and spatial allocation so that the delivery of health, education, housing,
social welfare service and basic utilities will be efficient and will benefit all.
4. Good Governance
Safe and resilient communities show of an improved quality of life; hence,
Roxas City also seeks to improve its safety and resiliency as an urban
community by mitigating hazards, reducing local vulnerabilities, minimizing
exposure and improving adaptive capacity of local communities.
Good Governance serves as the platform that supports the three major
components of a Smart and Livable City. Each component has
corresponding policies, strategies and plans. It requires political will and grit
in order to be implemented. Thus, good governance strives and commits
the Local Government Unit to provide excellent public service in a
transparent, accountable and efficient manner, ensuring people’s
participation in governance in order to build and sustain a preferred
community to live, work, play and invest in.
2. Competitive Economic Conditions
A viable economic climate should be established in order to attract
investments and provide jobs so that the population will have the capacity
to achieve a comfortable life. Thus, there is a need to identify, develop and
promote new economic growth areas for priority investment. At the same
time, it will also strive to create quality jobs that will enable the city to further
reduce income poverty, especially in least economically resilient.

DEVELOPMENT THRUSTS/DRIVERS
1. COASTAL AREA MANAGEMENT
This involves managing coastal areas in order to attain a balance between the
environment, economic and human activities. Strategies under this thrust is
aimed to protect, preserve city’s coastal resources. It will also promote its
78
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (2019-2027)
Roxas City, Capiz
development and enhancement as well as restoration of those identified to be
threatened and needs rehabilitation.
Its benefits include provision of alternative or off-farming employment to
fisherfolks and farmers. The value adding and processing of raw materials will
also increase the demand for production and thus will add income to farmers
and fisherfolks, reduce poverty, minimize food insecurity and stimulate
economic growth.
This will ensure the maximum utilization of all resources provided by the coastal
area but at the same time minimize any conflicts and negative impacts to the
environment and other resources. It will provide linkages to all related sectors
and ensure an ecologically sustainable coastal area development.
Hence it is important to improve the infrastructures to support the activities such
as roads and utilities (electricity, water, communication) as well as storage and
packaging facilities and marketing and promotion.
2. COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT
The urban economy of the city is mostly distributed in the tertiary sector or the
service sector which involves mostly on the provision of services to other
business as well as consumers. It involves transportation, distribution and sale
of goods form producer to consumer.
4. SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE DEVELOPMENT
Based on the existing land use of the city, agriculture lands are still substantial
but it is underperformed spatially due to low productive use. In the next planning
period, promoting agriculture development is still feasible as it will be one of the
drivers for the city’s sustainable development. This needs greater clarity in
agriculture policy, especially in land conversion and protection of SAFDZ’s.
It is therefore logical to foresee that commercial development will be the primary
catalyst to sustain the economic growth of the city over years. It is thus vital that
the city will allocate spatial areas that will support the continued growth of this
particular sector.
Furthermore, for the sector to truly become sustainable, strategies for
agriculture development should be economically viable, socially supportive and
ecologically sound. Activities to be considered includes ensuring a healthy soil
through organic farming, provision of additional irrigation systems, and
implementation of farming practices such as crop rotation, diversified farming,
planting cover crops, integrated pest management, reduced tillage, smart
poultry and livestock integration to farms and agroforestry.
3. AGRO-INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT
This involves development of industries, enterprises, activities and institutions
that will receive raw inputs from the production areas (crop and fishery sectors)
and process or add value to it according to identified demands on the market.
79
COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN (2019-2027)
Roxas City, Capiz
It is therefore needed that all of strategies concepted to achieve the
development should always put into consideration the General Welfare of the
people and should always and must promote social justice and equity.
5. TOURISM, HERITAGE AND CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT
Tourism is seen as Roxas City’s untapped potential for its economic growth,
anchored increasing tourist arrivals and flourishing accommodation and other
tourism service facilities. The Tourism Development of Roxas City will focus on
Eco-tourism, Sand and Beach, Culinary and MICE.
Culture and Heritage conservation will also play an important component in the
tourism development since it will establish the Genius Loci (Spirit of Place/Diwa
ng Lunan) of Roxas City and establish its unique identity as a tourist destination.
The protection and preservation of our Coastal Resources and Mangrove
Forests as well as other environmental management strategies will support the
drive for sustainable tourism development.
URBAN FORM, DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND STRUCTURE PLAN
Urban Form
Multi-Nodal Urban (Combination of Centric-Nodal and Radial-Circumferential
Forms)
It is important that a strict conservation and preservation policy will be placed
and preserved the identified Mangrove Forest area. Conservation measures on
heritage site and areas should also be established. The coastal stretch of the
city are all potential Sand and Beach tourism sites. The areas around the
proximity of the River Tours are viable for development and be integrated to the
existing tourism circuits.
In this form, the major center provides specialized facilities and services to its nodes and
acts as its external linkage to the other development areas of the city. The nodes support
the major center as its captive market while providing neighborhood facilities and
services to its area of influence.
Under this urban form, a number of additional mixed-use growth areas will be developed
outside the urban center or existing center of development. In the case of Roxas City
which is a coastal city, the form will show a development channel fanning out from a
given center where points of activities and are interconnected by radial and
circumferential road systems which are potential development corridors.
6. LIVABILITY ENHANCEMENT
Roxas City as a Livable City. All development thrust and strategies are aimed
at one main target, and that is to improve the quality of life of the people of this
city. Hence the concept of Livability will always be the foundation of a Smart
and Happy City. It’s a common sense that all strategies for development will be
put into waste if you omit one crucial component: the human capital, the driving
force that puts all of these concepts into fruition.

of its important cultural properties and heritage are strategies that will be
implemented.
A livable city is a clean and healthy city; thus, a more rigorous solid waste,
wastewater and sewerage management system will be put into rolled out.
Providing more green spaces will also be implemented to improve the air quality
within the city.
DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT AND STRUCTURE PLAN
The Urban Core or the Central Business District will be the epicenter sending
the aftershocks of a livability and sustainability not only in Roxas City but the
entire Province of Capiz.
1. Urban Core/Central Business District
The Urban Core/Central Business District is the heart of Trade and Commerce
of the city. This is where important government, religious and academic
institutions are located. Majority of business establishments registered are also
situated here, highlighted by big shopping malls, department stores and the
Teodoro Arcenas Trade Center. Economic activity within the area, especially at
the downtown (Roxas Avenue) is flourishing, making it one of the biggest
employment generators in the province.
2. Residential, Mixed-used and Planned Unit Development
a. Peri-Urban Area Residential Mixed-Used Development
The emergence of larger enterprises and the limited land area in the Urban
Core, Central Business District gave factored in to the development of
Residential Mixed-used on the periphery of the Urban Core.
This development is without some adverse implications as the appearance of
urban blights is now recognizable. It is therefore necessary that appropriate
strategies and activities be implemented. Urban renewal, re-development,
tenurial upgrade for informal settlers and application of proper spatial use on
identified blighted areas should be implemented.
The spatial use within this area is dominated by residential use because most
of the people who work in the Central business District are settled within it due
to its proximity, making it more economical and convenient.
The 3 of the biggest malls in the city are located in the peri-urban area
expanding the growth area and distributing development outside the urban core.
It is understood that in order to attain the city’s vision to become the most livable,
progressive and preferred sustainable community, its urban core should be its
center piece and show window. Improving the mobility within the district,
redevelopment at establishment of it parks and open spaces and preservation
The opening of a new shopping mall in 2020 will be a factor for the growth of
the commercial area beyond the central business district. In the next 10 years

there is a possibility that most undeveloped residential area within the periurban along the urban core will be reclassified to commercial use.
diverse services in support to logistics enterprises, adding employment and
livelihood for the population in the area.
It is anticipated that within the planning period, the logistics hub can boost the
economic activity of the city. The Local Government Unit will just have to ensure
a good road connectivity, wide roads for sufficient free flow of two-way traffic
and sufficient truck and office parking space. At the present time, there is an
adequate space current development and for future expansion.
Meanwhile, some portion of the outskirts the of the peri-urban area are still
dedicated for production (either cropland or aquaculture). But as commercial
and residential developments are emerging, these areas will definitely be
reclassified into the intended development, except on some areas that belongs
to the SAFDZ and NPAAAD which is protected by law.
The establishment of an Integrated Logistics Hub Management board is
recommended for the general administration maintenance, spatial
development, security & waste management of the park.
b. Planned Unit Development
Planned Unit Development or PUD are encouraged as a development option
especially for large real estate owners and developers.
Allowable developments in the area are warehousing & cold storage facilities,
emergency services, banking and insurance and other service facilities such as
office space, housing and accommodation, food and another neighborhood
commercial establishment.
3. Logistics Hub
a. Culasi-Libas Logistics Hub Zone
4. Tourism and Eco-tourism
One of the comparative advantages is its geographical location. It is located
almost on the center or heart of the country and has a natural harbor. Culasi
and Libas has a landform where a part of a body of water is protected and deep
enough to furnish anchorage. Hence, it is of great strategic naval and economic
advantage for the city.
a. Bay Bay Beach
Having a wide coastal stretch is one of Roxas City’s competitive advantage for
Sand and Beach Tourism. The Baybay Beach, with its fine black sand can
attract tourists both domestic and foreign.
With such qualities, it’s feasible as a logistics hub or park. Development of the
area will focus on seaport logistics operations converging it with other modes of
transport. A wide variety of logistics facilities and logistics enterprise will be
established base on the spatial availability. This will lead to the emergence
The development of the area will be supported by placing proper tourism
support service facilities and amenities, redevelopment of existing parks and
open spaces, and placing protection and conservation policies on the foreshore.

The creation management and development body is highly recommended to act
as focal unit to oversee the improvements and implementation of proposed
development strategies, projects and policies
Provision of support additional tourism service facilities and amenities,
redevelopment of existing parks and open spaces (Roxas City Plaza, Roxas
City Promenade) and placing protection and conservation policies within the
Heritage Zone is expected be put in place and implemented within the planning
period.
b. Eco-tourism Sites
Roxas City has already established numerous Eco-tourisms sites due to its
richness of mangrove strips abundant along its main rivers. These attractions
are at Culajao, Palina, Cadimahan and Cagay.
5. Commercial Strips
Meanwhile, Talon shows a lot of potential due presence of various natural
attractions including the pristine Ayagao Beach.
A commercial strip development is linear pattern commercial area along the
National Highway of Roxas City outside the Urban Core. This development is
more focused on neighborhood commercial use and will provide a place for
convenience shops and businesses in residential neighborhoods.
c. Heritage Zones
In line with the provisions of RA 10066, also known as the “National Heritage
Act of 2009, Roxas City have designated, through an ordinance Heritage Zone
with in the Urban Core. It aims to protect the historical and cultural integrity of a
geographical area were tangible important cultural properties of the city is
located.
This development will be planned and controlled so that it will not compete with
the Urban Core and prevent urban sprawl. It will only deliver vital service to the
neighborhood in which it is located. This development will be located along the
national road within Bolo, Lanot, Loctugan, Sibaguan, Balijuagan, Dayao,
Cagay and Banica.

The designation of Dumolog as an Agro-Industrial Zone for fish drying will
level up the industry by providing adequate industry grade fish drying
facility and support infrastructures (warehouse, trading centers) as well as
raising the processing standards increase the processing output and allow
the export of the product.
Other value adding process can be introduced within the planning period
to further raise the economic conditional and uplift the livelihood of the
people on the said area.
