V. PREFERRED DEVELOPMENT THRUST/OPTION
The development concept proposed for Silang stems from its recognition as an emerging
urban center, with its envisioned change of status from a large town into a small/medium
city; and its being a component of the Tagaytay-Silang Urban Growth Cluster
(CALABARZON RPFP 2004-2030), at the same time its great potential as the food basket
of the province of Cavite.
It is interesting to note t h a t Silang i s to serve both as an Urban Growth Center, with

recognized capabilities with levels and scales in alternative training, commercial services,
housing services, recreation services, education services and health services. It is envisioned
to be competitive; and coupled with its inclusion in the Metro Tagaytay area as tourism lane
and food basket.
The spatial development concepts identified for the municipality of Silang are the linear
urban form and multi-nodal form. The linear urban form, also known as the ribbon or strip
development is characterized by concentration of development along both sides of major
transportation routes. The multi-nodal urban form re-directs development away from the
urban core toward identified urban growth areas or nodes.
VI. PROPOSED LAND USES AND ZONING PLAN
The development thrust established for the municipality of Silang is Tourism cum
Agricultural Development.
For tourism development, potential areas are portions of Brgys. Buho, Malabag, Bucal,
Pasong Langka and Ulat, to be developed in the future for eco-tourism purposes without
sacrificing the agricultural activities of the area. Thus, agri-tourism activities shall be
encouraged. The existing Riviera Golf and Country Club has been retained.
Considering that majority of the total land area is devoted to agriculture, it is the concern
of the local government to enhance agricultural production. Prime agricultural lands should
be protected to ensure and address the local food requirements of its population. The local
government shall provide the required physical infrastructure and services such as irrigation
facilities and farm to market roads. Credit/Lending facilities, among others, should be readily
available to farmers.
On the industrialization aspect, aside from the existing industries operating in the
municipality, industries that are agricultural based should be encouraged as well light
intensity to medium intensity industrial activities. These industries should be encouraged to
provide or put in place mitigating measures to control pollution and address negative impact
from its operation. Protection of the community and the environment should be the concern
of the local government.
The whole barangay of Carmen has been designated as a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) area in anticipation of future developments with the opening of the proposed CALAX
Road.
As a member of the two (2) WQMA Governing Boards, Silang shall ensure the
protection of its watershed and water bodies that traverse the municipality.

PART 1: SOCIO ECONOMIC AND PHYSICAL PROFILE

1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
Early Beginning
Silang is believed to be one of the oldest towns in Cavite. Archaeological evidences show
that human settlement was already established as early as 14th century in what was once part
of Silang, barrio Pangil. Folk tradition also tells that the pioneers of the upland Silang were
Gat Hinguiw, his wife Kaliwanag, their four sons (Pandan, Pogpog, Palio, and Amatong),
and their three daughters (Mamagtay, Kalumala, and Amakit). They were Bornean priests
who parted ways due to intra familial feuds. Some went to Manila, while others lived in other
parts of Cavite.
One legend explains that the town was named Silang because it is located in the eastern
portion (Silangan) of the province. Another legend tells that the Roman Catholic Church was
born (isinilang) from the ground. Nonetheless, Vocabulario de la Lengua Tagala, one of the
first Tagalog dictionaries authored by Spanish friars, shows that “siláng” (stress in the second
syllable) is an old Tagalog word, which means to cross the road in between two high
landforms. Topography proves that, indeed, the roads of Silang are in between elevated
terrains.
Spanish Colonial Period
Silang used to be an encomienda of Diego Jorge de Villalobos. The Catholic parish

church was founded by Franciscan friars in 1595. Ten years after, they began the
evangelization. The civil government, however, was established in 1621 with the election of
Don Pedro Abogalon Monaksa as the first gobernadorcillo.
The doctrina of Silang extended to the other upland towns in Cavite and to Marinduque.
The polity, on the other hand, included Indang, Gen. Trias (formerly San Francisco de
Malabon), and Maragondon. Alfonso, Amadeo (formerly Masilao), and Mendez were sitios
of Indang, while Magallanes and Ternate were barrios of Maragondon. Tanza (formerly Sta.
Cruz de Malabon) was part of Gen. Trias. Indang separated from Silang in 1655;
Maragondon, in 1727; and Gen. Trias, in 1748. Carmona and Amadeo were declared towns
in 1857 and 1872, respectively.
Agriculture was the main source of income, considering the fertile soil and good climate
of Silang. Crops included rice, corn, sweet potato, banana, sugarcane, coffee, and wheat.
Coffee, recognized as one with the highest quality, was compared with Moka of Vietnam and
the coffee of Bourbon in several Spanish accounts. Other industries were barter trading with
the Chinese, weaving of hats and baskets, cattle raising, and quarrying in Tibagan, Malaking
Ilog, and Munting Ilog. Prominent businessmen were Petrona Poblete, Ysidora Montoya, and
Placida Cruz (all of them owned retail stores), Manuel Yu Chayco and Juan Chua Tanco,
both of whom sold fruits; and Lim Changco, who had a bakery.
Education was under the parish church. The early teachers were Franciscans and Jesuits,
and the classrooms were the church and the convent. The lessons included Christian
Doctrine, reading and writing, arithmetic, and Spanish history. In the 19 th century, educated
Filipinos were allowed to teach. Among those were Hilaria Sanchez, Nicolas Madlansacay,
and Pantaleon Garcia, who graduated with distinction from the Escuela Normal de Maestros
in Manila.
The first church, in the name of San Diego Alcala was made of bamboo. The second one,
built by the Franciscans in between 1585 and 1611 was made of wood. Both were razed by
fire. The present church was constructed in 1624 through polo y servicio under the
supervision of the Jesuit Juan Salazar. Materials used were stone and sand from the nearby
30
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
river, and hard wood from the upland forest. When the Jesuits assumed parochial leadership,
they named the church in honor of Nuestra Señora de Candelaria.
Silangueños made significant contributions to the struggle towards freedom from Spain.
They were one of the first to rise up against the injustices done by the Spaniards.
In April 30, 1745, they launched agrarian revolt against the Dominicans who attempted to
usurp Carmona, which at that time was the only irrigated rice land in Silang. Along with the
residents of the nearby towns, they took down the boundary the friars put up in Carmona.
The dispute ended with amicable settlement through which Carmona remained in Silang.
On September 2-4, 1896, they launched the first cry of revolution against the Spaniards.
Under the leadership of Gen. Vito Belarmino and Vicente Giron, they captured the parish
priest Toribio Moreno in Barrio Tatiao, and forced the guardia civil to surrender after one
day of exchanging gun shots.
Four days after, the Spaniards attempted to regain the town with the reinforcements from
Cuartel de Sto. Domingo. Firing between the Spanish troops and the revolutionaries
happened in Malaking Ilog, Pasong Guevarra, and Ilayang Silangan. Nonetheless, the
revolutionaries, headed again by Belarmino, were able to drive the Spanish troops out of
Silang.
Silang fell again into the hands of the colonizers one year after gaining freedom.
Governor General Camilo Polavieja sent General Jose Lachambre, the foremost military
tactician of Spain during that time, as the head of Spanish squadron. Lachambre prepared
three squads positioned in strategic locations: Zapote in Bacoor, Calamba in Laguna, and
Batangas. The Silangueños, together with reinforcements from Mendez, Amadeo, and Gen.
Trias, fought with exceptional bravery despite lacking in number and in arms. Silang and the
entire town was captured and burned on February 19, 1897, excluding the church and the
convent.
On June 9, 1898, Silang gained independence. The Katipunan in Silang was reorganized
with Jose Bayacal as the president and Lazaro Quiamzon as the commandant. Together with
the revolutionaries from Dasmariñas and Imus, they launched a nine-day battle against the
conquistadores with the latter surrendering to the valiant heroes of the town.
American Colonial Period
The Americans entered Cavite in 1898, and the war between them and the Caviteños
began in 1899. Early battles occurred in Zapote, Bacoor, Imus, and Kawit, all of which fell to
the Americans. Revolutionaries were forced to retreat and Silang became their headquarters.
The town of Silang was conquered by the Americans only after a bloody fight along
Sabutan River on February 6, 1900. Nonetheless, Silangueños continued to fight using
guerrilla tactic. On July 31, 1900, 50 Filipino soldiers attacked the Engineer Camp 3 located
three kilometers away from Silang. On September 18, 1900, the US detachment in Silang
was assailed by one hundred Filipinos. On March 3, 1901, a US wagon train was assaulted
by a group probably under the command of Victor Kiamzon. Vicente Giron, on the other
hand, joined Julian Montalan and Cornelio Felizardo as tulisan until their surrender in 1906.
Farming remained to be the main occupation of the people. Hemp replaced coffee as
main cash crop because rust obliterated coffee plantations in the entire Southern Tagalog in
the 19th century. When abaca was affected by an epidemic, the municipal government,
through the help of the Department of Agriculture distributed vegetable seeds (e.g.,
habichuelas, sicharo, papaya, sitaw, and labanos) to the farmers. Soon the market regained
its vitality and it became one of Cavite’s better markets.

Education improved vastly. The first school house made of bamboo and nipa was
inaugurated in the lot of Santiago Belardo in 1900. The first American teacher was Louisse
Miller and the members of the teaching force were Guillermo “Maestrong Emong” and
Antonio “Maestrang Tonia” Mercado. Jose Ambalada joined the teaching force a year after
and became the first district supervisor of the towns of Silang, Amadeo, Dasmariñas, and
Carmona in 1906. Among the first students were Luis and Domingo Ambalada, Alejandro
Bayla, Miguel Carramanzana, Jose and Isabelo Medina, and Venancio Toledo. The first
concrete school building, the “Gabaldon Building,” was built in 1915, while the intermediate
school building, another “Gabaldon Building,” was constructed in 1917. Public schools in
barrios including Lalaan, Malabag, Calubkob, and Pooc, Munting Ilog and Iba were built in
the following years to reach children who could not afford to study in the town proper.
Transportation was developed. The national highway connecting Tagaytay and Silang,
now known as Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Highway was constructed from 1933 to 1935 using
prisoners as construction workers. The road from Zapote to Tagaytay was made concrete in
1938 by President Manuel L. Quezon. The bridge connecting the town proper and barrio Iba
was built in 1931. The Silang Traffic Company, the first transportation company in Silang,
began running a network of buses to Manila and nearby towns in the 1930s. Through the
initiative of Pedro Giron, electricity was installed in Silang, second only to Cavite City.
Streets were opened, extended, and renamed in honor of the fallen heroes of the
revolution or the landowners who willingly gave the land. Calle Real became the J.P. Rizal
St. Calle San Jose is now the M.H. Del Pilar St. Zamora Street was extended from M. H. Del
Pilar to what is now P. Montoya St. M. Belen St. was extended to P. Montoya St. to facilitate
the transport of goods to the market.
The monument of Dr. Jose P. Rizal was inaugurated in Plaza Libertad on January 13,
1918. The project led by then municipal councilor Guillermo Bayan was one of the first in
the entire country. The government hall was transferred from P. Burgos St. to its present site
in the 1930s.
Protestantism was introduced in Silang in 1902 through Presbyterian missionaries: Rev.

James V. Rodgers, his wife Anna, and their children Ruth and Julia. Among the first to be
converted were the brothers Juan and Monico Estrella, together with their families, and
siblings Elias and Gabriel Naval. Monico, the first Silangueño pastor, along with the other
first converts, helped the American missionaries in evangelization in Silang and nearby
towns.
Japanese Colonial Period
The Japanese entered the town of Silang on January 2, 1942. They billeted themselves in
front of the houses lining the town plaza, took furniture belonging to house owners, shot hogs
and chickens at will, and slapped and beat Silangueños.
In response to Japanese’s cruelty, Silangueños formed a secret organization akin to

masonry, Anak ng Katipunan sa Pilipinas. The founders were Dominador Kiamzon, Isaias
Videña, Luciano Tibayan, Artemio Velazco, Miguel Bayacal, Luciano Cortez, Paulino
Centeno, Engracio Asuncion, Pedro Caragao, Filomeno Ramos, Jose Castillo, Jose Belamide,
and Celestino Asuncion. The aims of the organization were to (1) unite all the Filipinos and
redeem the lost freedom; (2) exterminate traitors to the cause; (3) exterminate violators of
peace and brotherhood; (4) help the destitute and the needy; and (5) defend Philippine
womanhood. They joined the 3rd Regiment Filipino-American Guerrilla Forces, and through
their combined efforts, they forced the Japanese to retreat to Mt. Makulot in Batangas on
February 2, 1945.

Forties to Seventies
As soon as Silang was liberated from the Japanese, the people regained their will in
improving their lives and developing their town.
Farming was still the main industry. The cash crop was coconut, and the catch crops were
rice, corn, root crops, and other fruits. Business and trading were vibrant. Among those who
were successful businessmen were Enrique Asuncion (coconut and copra dealer), Gaudencio
Poblete (banking and finance), Miguel Kiamzon (lumber and hardware), Geminiano Maranan
(electric plant and rice mill), Iñigo Marayag (bakery) and Florente Oliveros (lumber and
hardware).
The education advanced well. Elementary schools in the barrios including Balite, Ulat,
Biga, Batas, Carmen, Maguyam, and Paligawan were opened from the mid-forties to the late
sixties. Infant Jesus Academy, the first highschool in Silang, was established in 1945 under
the leadership of Fr. Michael Donoher. Cavite Institute, another secondary school, was
founded in 1947 by visionary Elisea Kiamzon Belamide. Soon Silang produced a lot of
professionals. Among them were Gaudencio Poblete (certified public accountant), Virgilio
Velazco (physician), Dominador Caparas (physician), Dorotea Bayan (dentist), and Conrado
Medina (lawyer).
Transportation and communication had improvements. More roads were made concrete.
Morning and afternoon dailies circulated. Batangas Transportation Co. and the Saulog and
Medina companies provided hourly trips to Manila.
The plaza was renovated. Light posts and bulbs were installed. Kiosk was built in the
center. Cemented tennis court convertible to a basketball diamond was constructed in one of
the sides of the plaza.
Eighties to Nineties
The development of Silang began in the eighties.
On March 14, 1980, the provincial government, headed by Governor Juanito Remulla,
issued Resolution No. 40. The resolution adopted the provincial land use plan, the first in the
Philippines. Majority of the land area of Silang was still designated agricultural, but the
portion near Carmona was classified industrial.
Nine years after, the municipal government of Silang issued Resolution No. 109-A-89
titled A Resolution Approving the Revised Comprehensive Development Plan of the
Municipality of Silang. It indicates that Silang was divided into eight zones: residential,
commercial, light industrial, medium industrial, agro-industrial, general institutional zone,
special institutional zone, and agricultural zone. The residential zone was the area bounded
on the north by the Philippine Missionary Institute and barangay road in Biga; on the east by
the Ilog ng Bayan; on the south by the Brgy. Tubuan-Lalaan I; and on the south by the By-
Pass road. The special institutional zone was the Camp General Mariano Castañeda in
Tartaria and the area bounded on the north by Ambalada and Toledo properties; on the east
by Rizal St. and Sandejas property; on the south by Cabria St.; and on the west by Brgys. San
Vicente-Sabutan boundary. The commercial zone included the Poblacion area and Brgy.
Buho, and the general institutional zone consisted of the compounds of La Sallete, Philippine
Missionary Institute, Adventist International Institute of Advanced Studies, Silang Parish
Church and Infant Jesus Academy, Municipal Government, Silang Central and West
Elementary schools, Camp. T. Capinpin, and Philippine Union College. The light industrial
zone was in Barangays Biga, San Vicente, Adlas, Lalaan I and II; while the Medium
Industrial Zone was in Barangays Inchican, Carmen, Puting Kahoy, Tartaria, Bulihan, and
Maguyam, and Sitios Gulugod Baboy and Apura in Brgy. Tibig. The agro-industrial zone
33
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
was in Brgys. Munting Ilog, Hukay, Pooc, Iba; and the agricultural zone was all the other
unmentioned barangays.
Two years after, the Sangguniang Bayan of Silang released Resolution No. 148-C titled
“A Resolution to Amend our Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance.” Silang was divided into the
same zones, and the barangays except for a few were classified in the same way as in the
previous resolution. Nonetheless, in this resolution, the agro-industrial zone was expanded to
include Tibig, Munting Ilog, and Hukay.
Because of the changes in land use, the economy was diversified. While agriculture
remained to be the source of income for the majority of the people, factories in industrial
parks located in Brgy. Maguyam and construction projects for subdivisions in Barangays
Inchican and Puting Kahoy attracted thousands of workers. Food stalls and retail stores lining
the streets and apartments for migrants provided extra income especially to women. By 1995,
there were already 9 subdivisions, 707 registered commercial establishments and 28
industrial establishments.
Because of population growth, what were once sitios were declared independent
barangays. Biga, San Miguel, and San Vicente were split into two; and Tubuan, into three.
Bulihan was subdivided into eleven barangays: Bulihan, Acacia, Anahaw 1, Anahaw 2,
Banaba, Ipil 1, Ipil 2, Narra 1, Narra 2, Narra 3, and Yakal. Pooc gave birth to Pooc 1, Pooc
2, and Hoyo. Toledo was separated from Malabag. Malaking Tatiao became independent
from Iba.
The needs of the growing population were addressed both by the local government and
the private sector. The government renovated the public market, constructed farm to market
roads, opened public elementary and secondary schools, and established rural health units in
the town proper and in Bulihan. The private sector, on the other hand, built hospitals, clinics,
leisure parks and golf courses, and elementary, secondary, and tertiary schools. By 1995,
there were 224 stalls in the market, 2 rural health units, 5 hospitals, 12 private clinics, 44
public elementary schools, 5 national high schools, 6 private elementary high schools, 5
private high schools, two private universities, 12 banks, 15 financing institutions and 2
resorts.
Twenty-first Century
The development of Silang continued in the twenty-first century.
During the first decade of the twenty-first century, the local government, under the
leadership of Mayor Clarito “Areng” Poblete, implemented programs and projects to improve
the economy. Investors were encouraged to establish business by improving the road
network, providing tax incentives, and securing peace and order. By 2010, top real estate
developers, such as the Ayala Land Corporation and Cathay Land Inc., either finished or
expanded their projects. In 2012, 2,562 commercial establishments and 73 industrial
establishments were listed. The commercial establishments were engaged in wholesale trade
and retailing, construction, and banking/finance. The industrial establishments were into
manufacturing of hardware and household products, and service industry.
The local government made huge investments in improving the delivery of basic services,
particularly education and medicine. Cavite State University-Silang Campus was established
in 2006, and its student population had grown to more than three thousand in 2014. Munting
Ilog National High School-Silang West Annex opened in 2009, and it has been recognized
for the high quality of education it offers since then. The Rural Health Unit in Silang was
transferred to what used to be the Caparas Hospital, while the Rural Health Unit Clinic in
Bulihan was renovated. Doctors and staff were also added in both centers to accommodate
more indigent patients.
34
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
Partnerships were forged between the local government and the non-government
organizations in Silang. A council of non-government organizations were created to handle
the activities for Christmas and fiesta celebrations. Heads of these organizations were also
consulted in making and implementing policies.
Mayor Emilia Lourdes “Omil” Poblete, the first lady mayor of Silang, has equaled the
efforts of her father and predecessor, Mayor Clarito “Areng” Poblete. Even just after a year
of service, people have recognized her contribution to the continued development of the
town.
Tax collection has improved. In the first quarter of 2014, Silang was the first in the
province in collecting both real property and business taxes. Only for that quarter, the real
property tax collection amounted to more than Php112 Million pesos, while the business tax
collection was more than Php46 Million pesos.
Because of the improvement in finances, government centers in various parts of the town
were either improved or constructed. Patio Medina was covered and converted into a multi-
purpose complex. Operation Centers were built in the town proper, Lalaan 1, and Inchican to
serve as headquarters of the disaster risk management team. The Senior Citizens Office was
renovated to make it a more conducive venue for the usual gatherings of the senior citizens.
Education remained to be a priority. Malabag Elementary School-Buho Annex was

opened in 2012, and it will be declared an independent school in 2015. Elementary schools in
Lungon and Buklod Bahayan, and the Dionisio Magnaye National High School in Ulat will
be opened in 2015 as well. Tech Voc. programs offering courses in manicure, pedicure,
cooking, and welding have accommodated more than a thousand students, most of whom
were out of school youth. Deserving students and teachers have been given financial aids to
help them finance their studies.
Silang will be propelled to meteoric rise soon. The seat of the provincial government will
be transferred in Lalaan 1, while a new municipal hall will be built in Biga 1. The Cavite
Laguna Express Way will pass through Batas, Adlas, Biga II, Sabutan, Malaking Tatiao,
Tibig, Munting Ilog and Carmen, and it is expected that it will invite investments therein. In
a few years, Silang might be declared a city, given its land area, population, and income; and
it will be recognized as a world class community, with its rich natural resources and human
potential.

2.2.6 Hydro-geologic Features
Ground Water Potential

Silang being a recharge zone for ground water plays a critical role in the production of
water not only for the municipality but also for the adjacent and downstream
municipalities/cities in Laguna. Majority of the areas in Silang is classified as having local
and productive aquifers leaving only small portions of Barangay Inchican and Barangay
Carmen with fairly extensive and productive aquifers.
However, some barangays such as Buho, Malabag, Bucal, Toledo, portions of Ulat,
Mataas Na Burol, Lalaan II and Santol are classified as without significant and/or limited
pumpable
water.

2.2.8 Natural Hazards
Typhoons
Typhoons have brought damages to crops, infrastructure and other properties in Silang.
Typhoon Frank (2008) damaged a total area of 588.957 hectares and production value of
Php3,226,626.00. Typhoon Ondoy (2009) damaged a total area of 928.78 hectares with
corresponding value of Php4,682,935.50. Typhoon Santi (2009) brought damages to crops
and damaged 2,029.26 hectares with a total production loss of Php11,366,423.00. Typhoon
Pedring (2011) damaged 871.5755 hectares with a total of Php18,126,375.00 damage in
production.
The major agricultural products that were affected were corn, root-crops, fruit trees,
banana, papaya, cassava, fruit and leafy vegetables. Typhoons can cause rainfall-induced
landslide, river overflow and flooding.
Rainfall-induced Landslide and Flooding
Being a watershed area, and having seven sub-basins, Silang literally collects water.
Extreme rainfall events, brought about by large fluctuations in climate variability, have
become a threat to areas that were not even visited by rainfall-induced hazards in the past.
With the recent events that made places used to be safe vulnerable to these hazards, the
municipality of Silang should be prepared for what is to come in terms of rainfall-induced
landslide and flooding.

2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
Silang as a whole has low susceptibility to landslide (Figure 11). However, a closer look
will reveal that there are areas highly susceptible to landslide.
Figure 11 Rain-Induced Landslide Hazard Map
Earthquake-induced Landslide
The West Valley Fault Line straddles along the northeastern portion of the municipality.
This fault line covers the Barangays of Kaong, Tibig, Inchican, Carmen & Puting Kahoy.
This makes the area vulnerable to earthquake and its consequences such as landslide (Figure
12).
Recommended minimum buffer zone from the fault is 5 meters as reckoned from the both
sides of the fault trace or from the edge of the deformation zone.

4. SOCIAL SECTOR
4.1 EDUCATION
Education is one of the basic services that should be prioritized by both the local and
national government. Access or right to basic education should be provided for those who
desire to undergo formal schooling especially the underprivileged sector. Based on the 2008
Functional Literacy Education and Mass Media Survey, about 58 million out of the estimated
67 million Filipinos aged 10-64 year old are functionally literate. Literacy rate is higher to
those who belong to the highest income group while largest number of those in the lowest
income group finished only the primary level. Those who have no formal schooling gained
functional literacy based on alternative learning sources such as media.
Committed to further improve the quality of education, the Department of Education

Culture and Sports mandated to provide an enhanced learning environment and resources
which would benefit children and youth in public schools implements its Adopt a School
Program (ASP) which aims to create multiple partnership with different business sectors,
NGO’s, foundations, individuals and other private entities here and abroad in order to
generate investments outside the funding mainstream and national budget by providing
assistance on a short term or long term basis in the upgrading and modernization of public
elementary and high school
4.1.1 Elementary School
Number of Enrollment by School
As a member of United Nations Education, Scientific, and Cultural Organization

(UNESCO), the Philippines is committed to achieve universal access to primary education
on 2015. The projected increase in school-going population demands not only retrofitted
and additional elementary and secondary schools to accommodate the need of the
71
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
population of Silang, but also requires an increase in the number of teachers to maintain
quality education.

Historical Enrollment for the Last School Years
The efforts of the national government in increasing the number of enrollees through
programs designed to enable school aged children belonging to underprivileged families to
continue studies are continuously in force.
In the Municipality of Silang, a highly noticeable increase in elementary enrollment

appeared on school year 2012 with recorded increased enrollment of 2,977. Although there is
likewise an increase in enrollment on school years 2010 and 2011, 942 and 959 respectively,
they are not as evident as on year 2012. (See Table below).

Teacher-Student and Classroom-Student Ratio
The number of teachers should be commensurate with the number of students to

ensure/maintain higher quality of education and at the same time to be able to guard as well
the welfare of the teaching force.
The teacher-student ratio of 1:50 which is a far cry from the ideal ratio of 1:25 disables a
teacher to closely supervise each of his students. The classroom-student ratio of 1:44 which
is way beyond the ideal ratio of 1:30 is not conducive for a learning atmosphere as it allows
room for inattentiveness, slow learning process and poor ventilation. (See Table below)

In the secondary level, there is a projection of continuing gradual increase in the

enrollment from year 2012 to 2020. This increase would also entail an increase in teaching
force and classroom which is a challenge the government is still facing. (See Table below)

Historical Enrollment for the Last Three Years
Similar to the enrollment trend in public elementary school, an increasing number of

secondary level enrollees were likewise registered for all the school years beginning 2009
until 2013. However, the most noticeable increase of 1,111 in enrollment is registered on
school year 2011-2012. But for school year 2012-2013, the increase in enrollment which is
370 is much lower compared to the previous year. (See Table below)

while overall classroom to student ratio is 1:68, both of which is a far cry from the ideal ratio.
(See Table below)
The ideal national classroom-student ratio for elementary and secondary public schools is
1:30 but due to the free education program of the national government this is still has not

Inventory of Educational Facilities
Basic education is crucial for any developing country fostering its human resources for
nation-building. Giving priority to basic education does not really compete with other
sectors, but supports their development. The Municipality of Silang fosters the importance of
providing education to its populace.
There are seven (7) public secondary schools in the municipality: Bulihan National
National High School, Gen. Vito L. Belarmino National High School, Lumil National High
School, Kaong National High School, Malabag National High School, Munting Ilog National
High School and Munting Ilog National High School-Annex. The largest of these schools is

4.2 HEALTH AND SANITATION
The Philippines is currently on track in pursuing the Millenium Development Goals

(MDGs) set by the National Government on poverty, gender and equity, child health, disease
control and sanitation. However, the Philippine Development Plan 2010-2016 (PDP) declares
that the country is lagging in its achievements in universal primary education, improving
maternal health, and combating HIV/AIDS. Satisfactory standing of health and sanitation
sectors are vital to facilitate growth and development. The populace general well-being has a
large impact on the local economy which in turn has consequences on the country’s
economy.
4.2.1 Health Resources
4.2.1.1 Facilities and Services Rendered
Basic health services of the population in Silang are being catered by two (2) public
health units located in Brgy. Tubuan II and Bulihan and seven (7) private hospitals and lying-
inn. Almost all barangays in Silang have their respective barangay health station (BHS).
RHU-Main which is now housed in a two-storey building in Tubuan II is bigger and has
good facilities. It also has ample spaced laboratory, dental clinic, consultation room and
waiting area, which offer a more relaxing atmosphere to its waiting patients than its previous
location. (See Table 31)

4.2.1.3 Mortality and Morbidity Rate
The crude birth rate of Silang has been very stable in 3.0 level in the past five (5) years.
However, an increase in mortality was recorded in 2011 and 2012 with 6.24 and 9.4
respectively. The increase in the number of death records can be attributed to the increasing
young child mortality rate which leaped from 0.73 to 3.8 in four year time frame. (See Table
33)

4.2.1.4 Nutritional Status
The World Health Organization cites malnutrition as the greatest single threat to the
world’s public health. Improving nutrition is widely regarded as the most effective form of
aid. According to the latest study of the Food and Nutrition Research Institute (2012), three
in every 10 Filipino children aged 5 and below are stunted or too short for their age while
two in every 10 children also in the same age range are underweight.
Silang has two recorded degrees of malnutrition for years 2010 to 2012, the first (1 st) and
third (3rd) degree. For 1st degree, an escalation of 186 from 2010 to 2011 is recorded.
However there is a slight decrease of 7 from 2011 to 2012. For 3 rd degree, there is an increase
of 92 from 2010 to 2011 and on 2012 it increased to 97. The erratic trend in the number of
malnourished children in the municipality for these years manifests irregular effort in
providing effective interventions to affected children. (Table 34 )

4.2.1.5 Projected Requirements for Barangay Health Facilities
Primary health care such as maternal, and child care, immunization, and basic nutrition
and family planning should be delivered at the minimum by the Barangay Health Stations
(BHS). Due to growing population of Silang, upgrading barangay health facilities and
increasing the number of health care stations in every barangay is but necessary. For the next
ten years, a projected increase of 71 percent in the number of BHs to support the increasing
population of the Municipality of Silang.
Expansion of local health facilities will facilitate easier consultation and dissemination of
health education. BHS are good venue to bring health care services to the community.
Operationalization of Botika ng Bayan sa barangay and provision of pre-natal and post-natal
care are envisioned to each BHS in the Municipality of Silang.

4.2.2 Sanitation
4.2.2.1 Household Distribution by Type of Toilet Facility
For many families in the Philippines, inadequate sanitation is a serious problem/threat to

health. Without access to improve
d sanitation, children and their families are at much greater risk of contracting waterborne
diseases, which kills many people every year.
Aware and cognizant of the importance of sanitation, more than one half of the
municipality’s total households or a total of 28,219 households have sanitary toilet facilities.
Only few or 20 households have unsanitary toilet facilities.

At present, there are eleven (11) cemeteries/memorial parks catering to the burial needs
of the municipality. Out of these eleven cemeteries, only 3 are operated by the local
government while the remaining are privately owned. These public cemeteries are all
congested, thus, there arises the necessity of opening up more of these to accommodate the
increasing need for burial sites.

4.2.4 Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities
Much have been written about the worsening problems of solid waste not only in Metro
Manila but in other municipalities as well, and different seminars, conferences have been
conducted to address this repeatedly occurring problem.
While there had been already efforts in the past to address and remedy the problem head-
on, the passage of Republic Act (R.A.) 9003, otherwise known as “Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000”, marked the turning point in national development agenda for
improved solid waste management and resource conservation.
87
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
The municipality in its effort to properly manage the disposal of its solid waste tasks the
Municipal Environment and Natural Resources Office (MENRO) to spearhead the collection
of the municipality’s solid waste. To enforce this task, the office uses its 7 compact trucks, 2
mini dump trucks and 1 forward truck to collect municipal waste from the different
Barangays and disposes them to an open dumpsite located in Bgry. Lalaan I.
4.2.4.1 Volume of Solid Waste generation by Source
The municipality’s collected mixed solid waste weighing 25 tons originate from both
domestic and commercial establishment and were disposed of in an open dumpsite. (See

The housing backlog is an estimate of the present housing need of the population. It is
composed of doubled-up household which means that more than one household occupies a
single housing unit, displaced households by reason of being subjected to location hazard or
located in danger areas, in private lands in danger of being evicted or due to government
infrastructure projects and the literally homeless. Most of the housing needs in Silang are
from housing in informal settlements.
Table below shows the number of housing units to be built annually for a period of 9
years, the larger number coming from the displaced households.

developments are from big developers like Ayala Land Inc. and Cathay Land Inc. These vast
developments are found in Barangays Inchican and Tibig covering a land area of more than
619 hectares.
The other subdivisions which cover a very small area have been developed under the
management of a government agency, the National Housing Authority (NHA).

4.5 PROTECTIVE SERVICES
Protective services include the current status of securing capability of a municipality–

availability of policemen, firemen and their facilities and equipment. Provision of good
protective services implies the degree of development of the local government as an
organizational unit (Table).
The Philippine National Police (PNP) headquarters of the Municipality of Silang, Cavite
is located at the Barangay Poblacion, occupying a lot area of 100 sq.m. There are 98
personnel (uniformed police personnel and non-uniformed personnel) for a ratio of one
police men serving 2,178 civilians. The ratio does not meet the minimum set standard police-
to-population ratio. The Municipality of Silang has one (1) patrol vehicle in good condition.
This limits the mobility and visibility of Police force. Office equipment includes 4 Desktop
computers, television, fax machine, base radio, telephone, and a finger print kit. There are
five (5) police sub-stations located in Barangay Lalaan II, Barangay Biga I, Barangay
Pasong Langka, Barangay Bulihan, Barangay Tartaria. The sub-stations are strategically
located around the Municipality to provide protective services.
According to R.A. 6975, the local government units at the municipal levels shall be
responsible for the fire protection and various emergency services such as rescue and
evacuation of injured people at fire-related incidents and in general, all fire prevention and
suppression measures to secure the safety of life and property of the citizenry. The law also
provides basis for the establishment of municipal fire stations. In Silang, Cavite the
Headquarters of Bureau of Fire Protection is located in barangay San Miguel II with 200
sq.m. area. They have 10 BFP personnel and 14 Fire aid. The ratio of their firefighters to
population is 1:8,895 which is way below the standard that is 1:2000. This greatly
diminishes the capability to prevent and fight fire incidences. They have 3 firetrucks that is
assigned to the main station although this is sufficient for the location of the main fire station
which is near the public market with very poor road access due to vendor stalls and
unloading of market goods. These are blockade during emergencies and can limit the
response time of the fire fighters. The fire sub-station is located in Bulihan with 200 sq.m.
area. They operate two (2) fire trucks although one is already in poor condition.
The municipal jail under the management of BJMP is located in Barangay Narra I with
337.5 sq.m. of land area. There are 11 personnel running the jail system. They have one
prison van being used for prisoner transport although it is already in poor condition. The
municipal jail is located in populous area although there are high walls that separate it from
other buildings.

The barangay tanods are the primary source of services of the community; there are 160
tanods for traffic management, 446 for peace and order, and 369 members for disaster
management. Facilities range from patrol vehicles to communication devices (radios or
cellphone) as well as peace keeping devices such as whistles and batutas, and uniforms.
Although most of the barangay have some of these facilities, it can be noted that other
barangays are lacking in even the basic materials and facilities for protective services. Other
facilities for disaster response are also inadequate for most of the barangays. (Table 58 ).

Fire Incidence for the Last 5 Years
Year 2009 has the highest record of 5 fire incidences which is a little higher than the four
incidences recorded in 2008 and 2010 (Table 60). The last 2 years (2011 and 2012) recorded
lower fire incidence at only 2 records per year. There is no specific barangay that showed high
fire hazard since all of the incidences in the last five years happened to different barangays.
The main causes of fire are mostly electrical malfunction or cooking related causes. Efforts by
the government to prevent and fight fire in the municipality should be continued.

4.6 SPORTS AND RECREATION
Indulging in leisure activities is important in Filipino’s daily lives because of their role in
Philippine culture. Sports and recreation is considered a social service for it develops the
psychosocial and physical aspects of the individual.
The 2011-2016 Philippine Road Map of the Philippine Sports Commission is now in
place. One of its features is the Focused Sports policy where several sports events will be
given utmost priority which includes boxing, tae kwon do, athletics, swimming, archery,
bowling, weight lifting and billiards.
The Municipality of Silang has several existing sports and recreational facilities housed in
the local government.
4.6.1. Existing Sports and Recreational Facilities by Barangay
Cognizant of the enthusiasm of the youth to engage in recreational activities and of the
health benefits these activities provide, most of the barangays here in Silang have their own
recreational facilities which have been utilized not only for sports/recreational activities but
for other programs of the barangay.
These facilities are mostly government owned but due to constant usage most of them are
in poor/critical condition and are in need of rehabilitation/repairs. The biggest of these with a
lot area of 516.653 square meters is located in Lucsuhin followed by Litlit with a lot area of
436.641 square meters, and the rest of the majority has an area of 364 sq. m. (See Table 63).

5. ECONOMIC SECTOR
5.1 AGRICULTURE
The Municipality of Silang was once an agricultural dependent town in the 19 th century
that agricultural production in Silang indulges progress and economic domination was
contributed by its major cash crops. But then, agricultural practices and services in the town
experienced depression during the first decade of American period due to some factors like
drought and the prevalence of cholera. Despite the depression, agriculture still played an
important role in the lives of Silangueños as well as to the whole province. At present, part of
the vision of the province of Cavite is for the Municipality of Silang to be one of the towns
which will lead in agricultural production specifically in terms of vegetable and fruit crops.
Silang at present has a total agricultural land area of 9,318.41 hectares. Majority of these
lands are devoted to pineapple, coconut and coffee production and the rest are allotted for
livestock and poultry production and other agricultural services (MAO Silang, 2011). From
the period of 2002 to 2011, there were about 101.8 hectares of agricultural lands which were
legally converted into commercial, residential, industrial, institutional and other uses.
Agricultural land conversion was basically a result of rapid urbanization in the town
including high rate of population migration and establishment of more commercial and
industrial areas. This also leads to drastic change in the number of farm families, agricultural
production and employment engaging agricultural production. Though 66 precent of the
barangays are still classified as rural, which constitutes to almost 23,000 of the whole
household population of Silang, there are only 5,777 which are identified as farm families
(MAO Silang, 2011).
The municipality still has about 3,552.24 hectares of land classified as development zone
for agricultural or under the Strategic Agricultural and Fisheries Development Zone
(SAFDZ). It covers 16 barangays of the municipality which are located in its southern
portion adjacent to the City of Tagaytay.
5.1.1 Agricultural Production
5.1.1.1 Crop Production and Land Utilization by type
Having 9,318.41 hectares or 59.58% percent of its total land suitable for agricultural
production, Silang produces many kinds of products yearly such as upland rice, corn (green
and yellow), pineapple, coffee, banana, coconut, cut flowers and other fruit trees. Factors like
favorable climatic condition, gentle to rolling slopes and fertile soil also contributes to the
continuous agricultural production in Silang. Through multi-cropping system, farm families
in Silang maximize the agricultural lands through the production of both cash and
subsistence crops. The cropping system usually has the pattern of coconut-coffee-pineapple,
coffee-pineapple and pineapple-sweet corn and vegetables. In 2012, a total of 5,173.63
hectares or 60.23 percent of agricultural land were devoted to agricultural crop production.
About 1,388.160 hectares was occupied by coffee, the major crop which has the largest crop
production in Silang. It was followed by fruit trees like coconut, guyabano, jackfruit, santol,
avocado and rambutan (1,358 hectares). Of all the fruit trees, coconut has the largest area
production which totals to 1,093 hectares. Another major crop is pineapple which occupies
837.67 hectares of the total agricultural crop production area. The declared area was also
planted by other crops such as rice, corn, mango, root crops, banana, vegetables, legumes,
black pepper and cut flowers which have a total land area of 1,562.19 hectares. (Table 65)

Among the agricultural crops, there is an evident increase in the area of production for
yellow corn equal to 66.05 from year 2011 to 2012. It was followed by upland rice which had an
increase of 50.5. Although an increase is apparent for yellow corn, the case is not the same with
green corn which had a decrease of 35.725 followed by coffee with decrease of 27.34. Normally,
as the area of production increases/decreases, the production volume increases/decreases also as
is shown in the table below. (Table 66)

When it comes to comparative area utilization of significant agricultural activities, it is

evident that there is a huge decrease in agricultural land area for crop production for 2012,
compared to 2011. Urbanization and land conversion, climate change are big factors in the

5.1.1.2 Livestock and Poultry Production
Aside from agricultural crop production, there are also farms or areas in Silang devoted
for livestock and poultry production mostly of which are for local market only. The locations
of this kind of production are mostly situated in rural barangays of the municipality. Almost
half of the number of barangays practices livestock (cattle and swine) production, mostly
backyard in sense. On the other hand, only few barangays are engaged in poultry production,
most of which are backyard and the rest are commercial / semi-commercial. (See Table 68)
When it comes to production, it was reported that backyard cattle and swine raising had
the highest recorded income of both 12,489,000 million for year 2011. It was followed by
commercial and semi-commercial cattle and swine production which both roughly produced
an income of around 50,000 to 100,000 for year 2011. It was reported that the municipality
earned a total of 156,168,000 million in livestock production involving 10,706 heads of
cattle and swine. Most of the livestock and poultry products are locally marketed to
neighboring municipalities.

5.1.2 Forest Lands

5.1.2.1 Area and Location
Forest Environment
The 2011 data from the Municipal Planning and Development Office (MPDO) of Silang
shows that the remaining forest cover of the municipality is about 208.2 ha. This protection
forest is located in Barangay Cabangaan southeast of the municipality. The field
reconnaissance revealed that the forest is mainly an open forest type of secondary growth
although some narra trees (Pterocarpus indicus) can still be found but mostly in privately
owned lands.
Forest provides a number of ecological services from microclimate control, filtering of

air pollutants, biodiversity of organisms, control of erosion to water recharge among others.
As such, reduction or removal of forest cover would reduce the environmental benefits that
we get from it.
5.1.3 Support Systems
5.1.3.1 Physical Infrastructure
Due to large decline in the production of rice and coffee brought about by land
conversion, climate change and other factors, support facilities like rice/coffee mills have
been reduced also with only 3 recorded rice mills located in Litlit, Lucsuhin and Batas.
Warehouses and village type dryer have the highest number, both of which is 23 located in
various barangays.

5.1.3.2 Credit and Finance
For financial support for farm families and agricultural businesses, different credit and
lending institutions are operating in Silang. These institutions aim to extend their services to
support the Silangueños in their farming operations. For 2012 there are 10 recognized credit
and lending institutions which offer agriculture-related finances in Silang. (See Table 70).

5.1.4 Areas Covered by National/Local Policies
5.1.4.1 Network of Protected Areas for Agricultural and Agro-Industrial

Areas for Development (NPAAAD)
The Network of Protected Areas of Agriculture and Agro-Industrial Development

(NPAAAD) map shows that Barangay Cabangaan, portions of Buho, Malabag, Bucal and
Ulat are classified as ecologically fragile land. It must be noted that the remaining forest
cover of Silang is also located in Cabangaan. Thus, given its classification as a fragile land,
any development activities such as agricultural must take into consideration of conservation
measures to avoid or minimize any negative effects on the whole ecosystem.
5.1.4.2 Strategic Agriculture and Fishery Development Zones (SAFDZs)
The municipality still has about 3,552.24 hectares of land which is classified as
development zone for agriculture or under the Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries
Development Zone (SAFDZ). It covers 16 barangays of the municipality which are located
in its southern portion adjacent to the City of Tagaytay.
The concerns and issues regarding agriculture in Silang include: a need for the
intensification of agricultural production and services in Silang as well as for the
maintenance of its agricultural lands.
5.1.4.3 CARPable Area/Lands
Silang has an area 945.51 hectares which are already covered by CARP and has a
total of 1,009 farmer-beneficiaries under this government program. There are three (3)
barangays namely Carmen, Maguyam and Pulong Bunga with a total area of 26.03 hectares
which are yet to be covered by this program. (See Table below)

5.3 INDUSTRY
Industry is a sub-sector of the economy which provides goods, commodities and services
to consumers. It provides employment and additional local revenue through taxation. It also
supports advances in scientific research providing the means for economic development and
the community as a whole.
Philippines had a GDP of US$188.719 billion in 2010. As a growing industrialized

country, the Philippines have been dominated by manufacturing and services. In 2010,
industry was responsible for 31.3 percent of Philippines' GDP. Major industries include
automotive, electronics, textiles, and food processing. Industry also employs 15% of the total
work force in the country.
Value added generated by all manufacturing establishments reached P1.0 trillion in

2010. Among industries, the top ten industries comprised 52.6% of the total value added of
the manufacturing sector. Refined petroleum and other fuel products led the top contributors
to value added with a combined value of P192.4 billion or 18.7% of the total. Semi-
conductor devices and electronic components ranked second with P115.7 billion or11.2% of
the total value added.
According to the Regional Physical Framework Plan of CALABARZON (2004-2030),

Silang belongs to the Tagaytay-Silang subcluster, one of the eight groupings of the Urban
Growth Clusters/UGCs of CALABARZON. These growth centers are highly urbanized
municipalities and cities whose capabilities with regards to levels and scales are competitive
and comparable with Metro Manila in terms of alternative training, commercial services,
housing services, education services and health services. One of the roles of these growth
centers is to act as a nucleus of economic development for the region, especially on
manufacturing and processing services. This growth of manufacturing industries was largely
attributed to improved infrastructure facilities and access to major market outlets in Metro
Manila. The existence of major road networks traversing neighboring municipalities and
cities around Cavite-Laguna area has encouraged the proliferation of industry–related
activities in the industrial centers in these provinces. Thus, it can be noted that most
industrial estates are located along or near the major roads, which have direct access to the
National Capital Region.
The passage of the Ecozone Act of 1995 allowed the growth of economic zones in the
CALABARZON region. Ecozones are specialized industrial estates with highly developed
area or those with potential for industrial, tourist, recreational, commercial and investment
purposes.
In Cavite, majority of the industrial establishments have been operating in District V

which includes Silang, Gen.Trias and Carmona.
Assessment of the Industry Sector
The industrial area in Silang covers three percent of its total land area of 15,641 hectares.
As of 2010, there are 73 industrial establishments in the municipality, 20.55% is engaged in
hardware and other related services. This type of service includes manufacturing of cables,
plastics and metals. It is followed by the service industry which includes activities like
repacking condiments, waste treating, packaging of various materials, storage, stamping of
metals, fabricating of auto parts and dressing (i.e. poultry), accounting to 17.81%.
Manufacturing of household products constitutes the least number of establishments with
only 1.37%.

C. COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGES (DEVELOPMENT POTENTIALS)
Silang is located 45 kilometers south of Metro Manila which makes it an ideal destination
for weekenders. It has a cool and invigorating climate ideal for short outdoor activities. Its
proximity to high end residential subdivisions and industrial parks of Laguna and Cavite
provinces provide comparative advantage in terms of tourism potential. It is strategically
located such that it serves as a gateway to Tagaytay City and other tourist destinations in the
province of Batangas.
Being a part of the CALABARZON industrial zone, the municipality has identified areas
for industrial locators; hence the presence of economic zones in identified suitable sites. For
environmental consideration, only light to medium intensity industrial activities shall be
encouraged. Locators are to comply with the clearances and other requirements of concerned
national government agencies. Its proximity to the international airport and availability of
infrastructure utilities makes it conducive for entrepreneurs to establish their businesses in
Silang. The proposed CALAX Road traversing barangays Batas, Adlas, Biga II, Sabutan
leading to barangay Tibig and barangay Inchican then to SLEX is a welcome project since it
will contribute to boost the economy of Silang.
Various development projects are ably supported by the national government and other
funding institutions. The competent local administration provides the basic social services to
its residents. The presence of adequate labor force can meet the requirements of the business
/ industry sector.
D. WEAKNESSES (PRIORITY ISSUES AND CONCERNS)
There are priority issues and concerns that need to be addressed in order to achieve the
desired vision of Silang by 2022.
The remaining agricultural lands, as much as possible, should no longer be converted to

other non-agricultural uses. Agricultural production must be intensified such that there will
be no decrease in the yield of crop production areas and other agricultural produce. Because
of the threat of natural calamities, mitigating and adaptive measures should be given utmost
consideration.
Because Silang is strategically located, in-migrants tend to increase over the years, so it is
the concern of the local government to provide residential areas to the increasing population.
Informal settlements should be properly relocated to areas that are not prone to hazards such
as flash flooding and erosion. An evacuation center should be established so that when
disasters arise, school buildings will not be utilized as such.
There are some barangays that have insufficient and irregular supply of water. Hence,
there is a need to provide more pumping stations to address the increasing need for water
supply.

E. FUNCTIONAL ROLE OF THE MUNICIPALITY PER PDPFP
The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan of Cavite ensures better
quality of life for 6 million Caviteños in 2017. Cavite must be a better place to live, work and
do business.
In line with this framework, Silang belongs to the Third Growth Corridor, along with
Alfonso, Mendez, Amadeo, Indang, Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, Magallanes and Ternate.
The

Historically,
• TAGAYTAY Tagged as “One of 1000 places to see before you die”
• Tagaytay is a one-day tour destination over looking TaalVolcano with
cool climate due to its high altitude
• Accessibility to Metro Manila with abundant places of interests and
accommodations
• Contiguous upland towns hardly
benefit from Tagaytay tourism
• Lack of an integrated and
progressive plan for the uplands
Being an agricultural community, Silang shall pursue intensification of agricultural

production given its functional role as a food basket. Agri-tourism activities shall be encouraged.

Part 2.2 THE COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN
A.VISION
A God-fearing, nature-loving and law-abiding citizenry living in a progressive, healthy

and empowered community governed by leadership with integrity, adaptive to change with
strong political will to ensure sustainable and stable ecological balanced environment
towards the development of equitable agriculturally-based economy to become globally
competitive.
B. DEVELOPMENT GOAL/S AND OBJECTIVE/S
The ultimate goal of the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of Silang, Cavite is to
serve as a primary and dominant basis for the future use of land resources both for short and
long term developments with no significant deterioration of the land resources itself.
Specifically, the plan aims to achieve the following:
1. To improve the quality of life in the area through the promotion of a safe, healthy,
and pleasant environment.
2. To strengthen the role of the town relative to the province and region.
3. To promote balanced and compatible land use relationship within the locality;
4. To promote adequate and suitable lands for industrial / agri-industrial
development; to widen/broaden economic opportunities in the locality;
5. To provide adequate and suitable areas for settlement expansion and other
functional uses.
6. To improve and upgrade development and policy administration in the local
government in order to respond to the needs of the citizenry and manage
resources for growth and development.
7. To integrate climate change adaptation and risk reduction in land use /
development planning through policies, actions, and tools for implementation
over the long term that will result in a reduction in vulnerabilities and hazard
impacts.
C. DEVELOPMENT THRUST/S AND STRATEGIES
The development concept proposed for Silang stems from its recognition as an emerging
urban center, with its envisioned change of status from a large town into a small/medium
city; and its being a component of the Tagaytay-Silang Urban Growth Cluster
(CALABARZON RPFP 2004-2030), at the same time its great potential as the food basket
of the province of Cavite.
It is interesting to note t h a t Silang i s to serve both as an Urban Growth Center,with

recognized capabilities with levels and scales in alternative training, commercial services,
housing services, recreation services, education services and health services. It is envisioned
to be competitive; and coupled with its inclusion in the Metro Tagaytay area as tourism lane
and food basket.
Thus, the development thrust for Silang is the combined development thrust of Tourism
cum Agriculture. Spatial development / strategies shall include:
a. Settlements development for both urban and rural barangays. Hence, the need to
establish the functional hierarchy of barangays given their intended roles. This will include
the proposed transfer of the seat of provincial government from Trece Martires City to
Silang, as well as the transfer of the Municipal Hall to Brgy. Biga I that would likewise
create future concentration along with Aguinaldo Highway.
162
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
b. Enhanced economic activities concerning agriculture, tourism, industry, and

commerce and trade. In support of Tourism development, commercial establishments are to
be encouraged along both sides of the major thorough fares along the By-Pass Road and
along the Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road. However, proliferation of non-tourism related
establishments shall likewise be controlled.
Infrastructure development in all areas concerning transportation, power, water, and

information-communication technology. Specifically, the proposed CALAX project
traversing Silang as well as the proposed road linking the municipality to one of the tourist
destinations (Nasugbu, Batangas) will support the combined tourism cum agricultural thrust
of the LGU.
a. Creation of liveable industrial areas with special attention to waste management,

pollution control and public safety.
b. Utilization and protection of natural resources with focus on the rehabilitation of

Silang as a watershed area, natural drainage patterns and available water resources.
D. THE CONCEPT / STRUCTURE PLAN
The spatial development concepts identified for the municipality of Silang are the linear
urban form and multi-nodal form. The linear urban form, also known as the ribbon or strip
development is characterized by concentration of development along both sides of major
transportation routes. The multi-nodal urban form re-directs development away from the
urban core toward identified urban growth areas or nodes.
For Silang, the Poblacion shall be the center of development. Developments shall be
allowed along major roads but limited to residential, commercial, tourism and institutional
uses only. These shall include Brgys. San Miguel I and II, San Vicente I and II, Biga I and II,
Tubuan I, II and III, portions of Lalaan I and Sabutan. This shall also be considered as Metro
Silang.
For the multi-nodal form, developments shall be allowed in almost all barangays of the
municipality. Another major growth center is considered in Brgys. Bulihan, Acacia, Banaba,
Yakal, Narra I, II and III, Ipil I and II and Anahaw I and II as influenced by the existing
industrial zones and because of their proximity to existing industrial areas of the
municipalities of Carmona and Gen. Mariano Alvarez. An additional major growth center is
likewise considered in Barangays Puting Kahoy, Inchican, Tibig, Hukay, Pooc I and II,
Hoyo, Munting Ilog and portion of Tartaria because of the presence of the Adventist
University of the Philippines (AUP), and proximity to major developments in Santa Rosa
City.
A Socialized Housing area is being identified in Brgy. Sabutan , in compliance to Section

18 of R.A. 7279.
As agreed upon during the concept planning workshop, developments for tourism
purposes shall be along major thoroughfares and adjacent to Tagaytay City.
The existing industrial areas in Brgy. Maguyam shall be retained where existing
industrial zones are in place; while agri-industrial activities shall be in portions of Brgy.
Batas and Litlit, where existing poultry and piggery businesses are already located. These
shall be exclusive of areas planted to rice.
The entire Brgy. Carmen is being identified as a Planned Unit Development (PUD) area
in anticipation of the spill over of developments in the proposed Growth Management Area
2. This will likewise be in preparation for the proposed CALAX Road.

Being an agricultural municipality, Barangays Balite I and II, Paligawan, Mataas Na

Burol, Pulong Bunga, Pulong Saging, Toledo, portions of Pasong Langka, Lumil and
Cabangaan have been identified as the SAFDZ areas. Intensification of agricultural
production should be the concern of the local government to address food security. It is being
recommended that existing idle/vacant lands shall be reverted to agricultural production and
selective conversion to other non-agricultural functional uses.

E. THE LAND USE PLAN
The development thrust established for the Municipality of Silang is Tourism cum
Agricultural Development.
For tourism development, potential areas are portions of Barangays Buho, Malabag,
Toledo, Bucal, Pasong Langka and Ulat to be developed in the future for eco-tourism
purposes without sacrificing the agricultural activities of the area. Thus, agri-tourism
activities shall be encouraged. The existing Riviera Golf and Country Club has been retained.
Considering that majority of the total land area is devoted to agriculture, it is the concern
of the local government to enhance agricultural production. Prime agricultural lands should
be protected to ensure and address the local food requirements of its population. The local
government shall provide the required physical infrastructure and services such as irrigation
facilities and farm to market roads. Credit/Lending facilities, among others, should be readily
available to farmers.
On the industrialization aspect, aside from the existing industries operating in the
municipality, industries that are agricultural based should be encouraged as well as light
intensity to medium intensity industrial activities. These industries should be encouraged to
provide or put in place mitigating measures to control pollution and address negative impact
from its operation. Protection of the community and the environment should be the concern
of the local government.
The whole barangay of Carmen has been designated as a Planned Unit Development
(PUD) area in anticipation of future developments with the opening of the proposed CALAX
Road.
As a member of the two (2) WQMA Governing Boards, Silang shall ensure the
protection of its watershed and water bodies that traverse the municipality.
The Land Use Plan for Silang will cover the planning period 2013 to 2022. The spatial
requirements of the various sectors have been considered.
E.1 QUANTIFIED LAND REQUIREMENTS
To come up with the quantified land requirements up to 2022, the HLURB enhanced
planning guidelines and standards were utilized. The increase in population from 2013 to
2022 would warrant an increase in land use requirements.
The net increase in population and households also served as bases for land
quantification.
Table No. 97 QUANTIFIED LAND REQUIREMENTS

2012 (current) 2022 Net Increase
Population
Urban 72,810 104,506 31,696
Rural 156,682 224,889 68,207
TOTAL 229,492 329,395 99,903
Households
Urban 15,594 24,638 9,044
Rural 34,416 54,374 19,958
TOTAL 50,010 79,012 29,002
165
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
The following standards were adopted in this plan:
Residential average lot size of 240 sq.m. per household for urban
and rural areas based on net increase in households
Socialized Housing - an average of 40 square meters per housing unit
Commercial - 3% of the built-up areas Functional Open Spaces
Municipal Park - 500 square meters per 1,000 population
Cemetery - 2.44 square meters per burial lot per death
MRF- 1 hectare per 30,000 population
Roads-Urban - 2.4 km. per 1,000 population

Rural - 1.0 km. per 100 hectares of agricultural land at 10 meters wide
Industrial - 2.5 hectares per 1,000 population to allow Light to Medium intensity
industries
E.2 THE PROPOSED LAND AND WATER USES
Residential areas will increase to 3,768.18 hectares. This will take care of the needs of the
projected 79,012 households. The standard used was 240 square meters per household, to
provide ample areas for residential and other accessory use. These will also serve as
benchmark for expansion consideration. This is inclusive of the proposed Socialized Housing
Zones in Barangays San Miguel II, Iba and Sabutan which allotted an aggregate area of
9.0102 hectares, utilizing 40 square meters per housing unit.
Commercial activities, particularly the major ones, are still intended for the urban core or
Poblacion area. It is one strategy to maintain and further strengthen the role of the Poblacion
as the Central Business District (CBD). Considering the growth nodes, additional
commercial areas shall likewise be allocated in almost all the barangays. Additional 150
hectares have been allotted for the purpose.
The existing institutional areas are adequate for the present population; however, the
influx of additional population may affect the efficient functioning of these institutions.
The aggregate area occupied by the different parks and playground within Silang is 17.2
hectares. Utilizing the standard of 500 square meters per 1,000 population, the requirement is
only 16.47 hectares. However, residential subdivision developers are required to provide
adequate open space for their buyers, as mandated by either P.D. 957 or B.P. 220.
While the current urban and rural roads would suffice up to the end of the planning
period in 2022, this does not mean that no more roads will be opened.
For economic reasons and in line with the thrust of the municipality, light to medium
intensity industries shall be allowed, additional 1,822.81 hectares shall be devoted for these
activities in portions of Barangay Batas. Thus, aggregate areas for industrial purposes will
now be 673 hectares.
About 85 hectares shall be allocated for agri-industrial development in portions of

Barangay Batas. Strict observance on the protection of the environment should be adhered to
by prospective locators.
166
2013-2022
Silang, Cavite
Being an agricultural municipality, the dominant land use is still agriculture. This is
inclusive of the SAFDZ areas of 2,287.62 which have been retained. About 49% of the total
land area will be devoted to agriculture. Hence, the need to intensify agricultural production.
Thus, the remaining agricultural areas after selective conversion will be 7,715.78 hectares.
For tourism-related activities, the existing facilities shall be maintained. Still undeveloped
tourism areas shall be given due consideration because of the functional role of the
municipality as a tourism lane. Eco-tourism and agri-tourism shall be encouraged. Heritage
areas are in portions of the Barangays in the Poblacion.
For solid waste management, there is an existing Material Resource Facility of 3.5
hectares in Brgy. Lalaan I. Additional 6.5 hectares has been identified in Brgy. Kaong.
The entire barangay of Carmen, with an area of 265 hectares, has been identified as a
Planned Unit Development (PUD). Prospective locators shall be required to submit
prescribed clearances from concerned government agencies.
The various water bodies that traverse the municipality occupy 1,032.31 hectares. These
are the areas occupied by the 17 rivers found in Silang. Easements set forth in the Water
Code of the Philippines shall be strictly observed.
The increase in the different land use categories total to 1,602.64 hectares. These areas
were taken from the idle/vacant lands of 1,857.16 hectares. The remaining agricultural lands
is still 49% of the total land area.
This includes the crop production areas and other areas reverted to agricultural
production which is 5,428.16 hectares; hence remaining aggregate agricultural lands is still
7,715.78 inclusive of the SAFDZ area of 2,287.62 hectares which have been retained. The
decrease is about 10% of the total agricultural land areas, which is allowed pursuant to
Memorandum Circular 54; Silang being a first class municipality. See Table 98 on the
proposed land and water uses.
