Executive Summary
A. Context of the Plan and Formulation Process
This Plan, a five-year development plan called Local Road Network Development Plan
(LRNDP), is another update of the Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP) of the
Province that conforms with the requirements of the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2017-
159 dated November 21, 2017.
The primary effort went to the establishment of a GIS-based Road Network Inventory,
not only of provincial roads, but also of national, city, municipal, barangay, NIA, FMR and
other arterial roads. The same was done through the help of the twenty-nine (29) component
local government units of Cagayan that did the actual collection of data in their respective
jurisdictions through the use of GIS- and GPS–related technologies. The Provincial Geographic
Information System (GIS) Center of Cagayan manned by the Information Technology Division
– PPDO did the consolidation and rectification of data from the various component LGUs.
Series of meetings/workshops were done to finalize the GIS-based RNI – which was utilized
as the primary source in coming up with the baseline condition and supply and demand
characteristics of road network in the Province and other spatial analyses for the Plan.
The final draft of the LRNDP was then presented to the various component LGUs of
Cagayan last March 09, 2018 at Villa Blanca Hotel, Tuguegarao City, attended by their
City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (C/MPDCs), Municipal Engineers
(MEs), GIS Technicians and other technical staff for their comments and recommendations –
and the relevant and germane ones were then integrated in the final LRNDP prior to its
submission to the Provincial Development Council (PDC) for ratification/approval and
indorsement to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for adoption. It was also during this activity
that the Listing of Prioritized Core Roads was finalized.
The activities were done by the Provincial Government of Cagayan (PGC) in

partnership and coordination with the DILG – Cagayan Provincial Office all along.
B. Provincial Development Direction
The PRNDP Vision was adopted by this LRNDP which sees Cagayan to be “a peaceful,
progressive and self-sustained province; a center for education, tourism,
commerce and trade; whose citizens live in a healthy environment and enjoy the
full realization of their potentials through a dynamic, responsive and efficient
governance”.
a. Provincial Spatial Development Framework
To actualize the Development Vision of the Province as stated above, the “tri-
convergent growth areas” spatial development strategy was formulated. This
viii | Executive Summary

Province of Cagayan
development strategy is descriptively a hybrid or a combination of three (3) approaches:

1. “Agro-Industrial Development” – the primary strategy, 2. “Commercial Centers
Development”, and 3: “Eco-tourism Development”. The municipalities shall pursue in
creating growth areas giving due consideration on their competitive advantages in terms
of natural endowments, human resources, infrastructure and transportation and access.
These three approaches are all anchored on the strength, and are actually steps
forward, of the robust agricultural sector of the Province.
b. Road Network Development Framework
In support to this Provincial Development Direction and Spatial Development

Framework, and cognizant of its special role being the host of the Cagayan Freeport
Economic Zone, Regional Government Administration Center and a world-class Eco-
Tourism Hub in the Cagayan Valley Region, Cagayan needs to put up major infrastructure
to pursue its economic development. Infrastructure development is a vital component
in promoting and attracting investments to the Province especially now that the Cagayan
Freeport Economic Zone is scaling up its business operations and that adventure eco-
tourism has been consistently growing as a potential for international market. The
following priority major road network development projects were identified to support
and accelerate the above development direction and spatial framework, as follows:
1. Road and Bridge Development
o Establishment of the Cagayan Double-Looped Circumferential Road to provide

alternate routes to the Daang Maharlika both for the western and eastern parts of
the Province. This will be done by prioritizing the upgrading of some existing
strategic roads to an all-weather, concrete paved route bisecting Peñablanca,
Baggao, Gattaran, Lal-lo, Sta. Teresita and Sta. Ana to provide the alternate route
for the eastern part of the Province; and a route bisecting Tuao, Rizal, Sto Niño,
Lasam, Allacapan, Lal-lo, and Sta. Ana for the alternate route for the western
portion of the Province.
o Improvement of the internal circulation routes affecting access to production areas

by identifying and prioritizing upgrading of critical farm-to-market roads;
o Identification of key or critical routes for priority funding and implementation;
o Identification of locations and construction of bridges to serve not only as alternate

routes for Buntun and Magapit Bridges, the only two access points crossing the
Cagayan River, but also to connect the eastern and western parts of the Province.

Province of Cagayan
C. Situational Analysis
a. Road Network Baseline Condition
1. Road Classification
The road network of the Province which are classified as national and provincial
has a total length of 1,276.1503 kilometers. Viewed in its entirety, 852.5025
kilometers of this are classified as national roads and 423.6478 kilometers are
classified as provincial roads. Approximately 28 kilometers of the provincial roads are
located within Tuguegarao City and these have been maintained by the City
Government of Tuguegarao since 2002.
For the arterial roads on the other hand, out of the total 4,418.9074 kilometers,
there are 24.7996 kilometers of road segments classified as city, 621.1780 kilometers
as municipal, and 3,772.9298 kilometers as barangay where FMR, NIA Road, private,
and other unclassified roads are lumped with barangay.
Bridges also play a big role in supplementing roads in providing access and
transport of people and commodities. The Provincial Engineering Office is maintaining
55 provincial bridges with an aggregate length of 1,629.60 linear meters. Out of which,
50 are concrete, four are steel, and one timber.
2. Road Condition
Road condition for national roads within the Province is generally Good. Out of
the 852.50 kilometers of road segments, 711.86 or 83.50% is considered as Good,
109.2871 kilometers or 12.82% is Fair and only about a combined 31.36 kilometers
or 3.68% is considered as Poor and/or Bad.
The road surface condition of the entire provincial roads totaling to 423.6478
kilometers, spread over the 28 municipalities and one capital city are rated as follows:
216.1710 kilometers or 51.03% are “Good”, 69.1653 kilometers or 16.33% are “Fair”,
81.4765 kilometers or 19.23% are “Poor” and 56.835 kilometers or 13.42% are “Bad”.
Overall, the provincial road condition therefore is classified generally as “Good” based
on the newly conducted Road Network Inventory Mapping through Geographic
Information System (GIS) for Cagayan.
On the other hand, road surface condition for the various arterial roads of the
Province which includes city, municipality, barangay, FMR, NIA and other road types
reflects a more problematic picture. Out of the 4,418.9074 kilometers of road
segments, only about 1,031.5259 kilometers or 23.34% is considered as Good,
618.6855 kilometers or 14% is Fair, and a combined total of about 2,622.0353
kilometers or 59.34% are considered as Poor or Bad.
It is noteworthy, however, that all the 24.7996 kilometers city roads are
considered as Good.

Province of Cagayan
3. Road Surface Types
Out of the 852.5024 kilometers of national road within the Province, about
725.2709 kilometers or 85.076% is already concrete paved, 75.8172 kilometers or
8.893% is asphalt, 47.7959 kilometers or 5.607% is gravel, and only 3.6184 kilometers
or 0.424% is earth. The remaining roads with earth surfaces are located in Baggao
along Junction Gattaran-Cumao-Capissayan-Sta Margarita-Bolos Point Road (0.904
kilometers) and along Centro, Abulug-Linao, Aparri Road in Aparri (2.714 kilometers).
About 21 kilometers of the 24.69 kilometers graveled road segment located in Second
District along Junction Logac-Lasam-Gagabutan-Rizal Road is already currently being
upgraded by the DPWH.
On the other hand, out of the 423.6478 kilometers provincial road, about
244.4592 kilometers or 57.70% is already concrete paved, 40.567 kilometers or 9.58%
is asphalt, 124.6124 kilometers or 29.41% is gravel, and 14.0092 kilometers or 3.31%
is earth.
For city, municipal, barangay and other road classifications, out of the 4,385.65
kilometers of road segments, only about 926.1457 kilometers or 21.12% is concrete
paved. Majority are gravel and earth filled at about 2,325.95 kilometers and 1,002.93
kilometers or a combined 75.90%. All the 24.7996 kilometers of city roads are concrete
paved.
D. Supply and Demand Characteristics

With the intention of the Provincial Government of Cagayan to upgrade all its provincial
roads into all-weather roads, this Plan treats all provincial roads that are not yet concrete as
the demand. On top of these, the core road segments and major bridges identified in detail
in Chapter VII – Core Roads for Economic Drivers were also included. There are 124 core
provincial roads, three core arterial roads and five priority major bridges in this PRNDP.
E. Selection and Prioritization of Core Roads

As a result of the supply and demand characteristics of the local road network laid out
in Chapter IV, and application of the prioritization criteria for core roads, the PRNDP came up
with 64 prioritized provincial core roads, three arterial core roads and five priority major
bridges.
F. Plan Monitoring and Evaluation

The adoption of the Regional Project Monitoring and Evaluation System (RPMES)
established through Executive Order 376 dated 2 November 1989 will be given premium.
Towards this end, the reorganization and reactivation of the Provincial Project Monitoring
Committee (PPMC), together with its Secretariat, is to be prioritized.
The adoption of technologies on spatial data generation and analysis, like Geographic
Information System and information management systems, to facilitate monitoring and
evaluation was also emphasized. Geotagging was also mentioned as a key tool for effective
supervision, validation and evaluation of road network projects.

Introduction
A. Context of the Plan

This Plan, a five-year development plan called Local Road Network
Development Plan (LRNDP), is another update of the Provincial Road Network
Development Plan (PRNDP) of the Province that conforms with the requirements of
the DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2017-159 dated November 21, 2017. It supports
the efforts of the Provincial Government of Cagayan to improve and sustain its
growing economy through road network development.
The primary effort went to the establishment of a GIS-based Road Network

Inventory, not only of provincial roads, but also of national, city, municipal, barangay,
NIA, FMR and other arterial roads. The same was done through the help of the twenty-
nine (29) component local government units of Cagayan that did the actual collection
of data in their respective jurisdictions through the use of GIS- and GPS–related
technologies. The Provincial Geographic Information System (GIS) Center of Cagayan
manned by the Information Technology Division – PPDO did the consolidation and
rectification of data from the various component LGUs. The road network inventory
effort was done in coordination with the DILG –Region 02, Cagayan Provincial Office.
Said Road Network Inventory is the principal data source in the various analyses done
in this Plan.
The PRNDP and updated PRNDP of Cagayan, together with other provincial
plans like the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) and
Provincial Commodity Investment Plan (PCIP) were utilized as primary sources in the
formulation of this LRNDP.
B. Outline of the Plan

Using the recommended LRNDP contents as specified in DILG Memorandum
Circular No. 2017-159, this LRNDP has eleven Chapters, as follows: Chapter I –
Introduction, Chapter II Provincial Development Direction and Spatial Development
Framework, Chapter III – Sub-Sector Goals , Objectives and Targets, Chapter IV –
Situational Analysis, Chapter V – Economic Drivers, Chapter VI – Value Chain Analysis,
Chapter VII – Core Roads for Economic Drivers, Chapter VIII Development Issues and
Challenges, Chapter IX – Road Network Strategies, Chapter X – Road Network
Investment Program, and Chapter XI – Monitoring and Evaluation.

Province of Cagayan
C. Formulation Process
This LRNDP was primarily organized, formulated and integrated by the
Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO) with the assistance of the other
members of the Local Road Management Team (LRMT).
The Road Network Inventory (RNI), not only of provincial and national roads,
but also of all other arterial roads of Cagayan like city, municipal, barangay, FMR, NIA,
and private roads, was done with the help of the various component local government
units of the Province. Each component LGU went around to gather the spatial
information of the various road segments within their respective jurisdictions which
were then submitted to the Provincial GIS Center of Cagayan, Information Technology
Division – PPDO for rectification and consolidation. Series of meetings/workshops
were done to finalize the GIS-based RNI – which was utilized as the primary source
in coming up with the baseline condition and supply and demand characteristics of
road network in the Province and other spatial analyses for the Plan.
The final draft of the LRNDP was then presented to the various component
LGUs of Cagayan last March 09, 2018 at Villa Blanca Hotel, Tuguegarao City, attended
by their City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (C/MPDCs), Municipal
Engineers (MEs), GIS Technicians and other technical staff for their comments and
recommendations – and the relevant and germane ones were then integrated in the
final LRNDP prior to its submission to the Provincial Development Council (PDC) for
adoption and indorsement to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. It was also during this
activity that the Listing of Prioritized Core Roads was finalized. Said activity was
attended by Civil Society Organizations/Business Sector, spearheaded by the
representative of the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry – Cagayan
Chapter, who is also a member of the LRMT.
The activities were done by the Provincial Government of Cagayan (PGC) in

partnership and coordination with the DILG – Cagayan Provincial Office all along.

Province of Cagayan
Chapter II
Provincial Development Direction and Spatial Framework
A. Provincial Development Direction under the PDPFP
Vision
Cagayan is envisioned to be “a peaceful, progressive and self-sustained

province; a center for education, tourism, commerce and trade; whose
citizens live in a healthy environment and enjoy the full realization of their
potentials through a dynamic, responsive and efficient governance”.
With this vision, Cagayan is to play a significant role in the regional and national
economic development. This situation is mainly attributed to the strategic position of
the Province to attract foreign investments brought by the establishment of the
Cagayan Economic Zone Authority. Likewise, the Province’s vast natural endowment
potentials to pump prime the economy is also a major factor for achieving the vision.
This condition shall bring the Province into a physically developed state with a rational
network of agri-related industries and spatially accessible services while providing for
equal economic opportunities for its people.
1. Development Goals and Objectives
The Province’s primary development goal is to achieve an improved quality

of life of its residents. Guided by the vision, achieving a better quality of life is
characterized by enjoying a safe and secure environment, conducive business
climate, and increasing productivity and employment.
a. Development Goals
o To reduce the incidence of poverty in all areas of the Province;
o To improve farm productivity thereby sustained rise in the income and
sufficiency level;
o To optimize the tourism, agri-based and manufacturing industry;
o To provide sufficient and efficient transport facilities and structures for an
enhanced internal and external accessibility of goods and services; and
o To reduce the vulnerability of the population to disaster.
b. Sectoral Objectives
o Agriculture Sector
 To increase the income of farmers by 10% annually in 2018-2022.
3 | Chapter IV – Situational Analysis

Province of Cagayan
o Tourism
 To attain 50% rise in tourist arrivals by 2022; and

 To attain 50% annual average increase in tourism revenue in 2018-
2022;
o Industry
 In 2018-2020, to attain 50% increase in the number SMEs; and
 To attain 50% revenue growth in the manufacturing and service
industries by 2020.
B. Provincial Spatial Development Framework
To actualize the Development Vision of the Province as stated above, a Provincial

Spatial Development Framework was formulated and thoroughly explained in the PDPFP –
and the same is hereto presented briefly.
The path of development of the Province of Cagayan is leading to sustainable eco-

tourism industry, commercial expansion and agro-industrialization. The Province shall push
economic growth taking into consideration a balanced urban-rural growth, optimal utilization
of agricultural lands and natural resources while sustaining the stability and integrity of
protected areas.
Anchored on its vast natural capital and abundant human resource, Cagayan shall
adopt a “tri-convergent growth areas” spatial development strategy. This development
strategy is descriptively a hybrid or a combination of three (3) approaches: 1. “Agro-Industrial
Development” – the primary strategy, 2. “Commercial Centers Development”, and 3: “Eco-
tourism Development”. The municipalities shall pursue in creating growth areas giving due
consideration on their competitive advantages in terms of natural endowments, human
resources, infrastructure and transportation and access.
Interpreting the entirety of the PDPFP, however, the third approach is actually
“Tourism Development” – because it does not only include eco-tourism, but also agri-tourism
and historical and cultural tourism. An example of agri-tourism development are our Small
Water Impounding Projects (SWIPs) which were primarily developed to support our crop
production. They are also seeded with fingerlings to also support our fisheries. The immediate
vicinity of this SWIPs are developed by planting trees in the area to highlight their natural
beauties. They are then opened for tourism – where camping and fishing activities can be
done by our visitors. Another example are Farms propagating endemic and exotic species like
wild pigs and ostriches, as part of their farm operations, which are also open to visitors.
These three approaches are all anchored on the strength, and are actually steps
forward, of the robust agricultural sector of the Province.

Province of Cagayan
C. Road Network Development Framework
In support to this Provincial Development Direction and Spatial Development

Framework, and cognizant of its special role being the host of the Cagayan Freeport Economic
Zone, Regional Government Administration Center and a world-class Eco-Tourism Hub in the
Cagayan Valley Region, Cagayan needs to put up major infrastructure to pursue its economic
development. Infrastructure development is a vital component in promoting and attracting
investments to the Province especially now that the Cagayan Freeport Economic Zone is
scaling up its business operations and that adventure eco-tourism has been consistently
growing as a potential for international market. The following priority major road network
development projects were identified to support and accelerate the above development
direction and spatial framework, as follows:
1. Road and Bridge Development Projects
o Establishment of the Cagayan Double-Looped Circumferential Road to

provide alternate routes to the Daang Maharlika both for the western and
eastern parts of the Province. This will be done by prioritizing the upgrading
of some existing strategic roads to an all-weather, concrete paved route
bisecting Peñablanca, Baggao, Gattaran, Lal-lo, Sta. Teresita and Sta. Ana
to provide the alternate route for the eastern part of the Province; and a
route bisecting Tuao, Rizal, Sto Niño, Lasam, Allacapan, Lal-lo, and Sta. Ana
for the alternate route for the western portion of the Province.
The road network connecting Penablanca – San Jose, Baggao – Capissayan,

Gattaran – San Mariano, Lallo – Mission, Sta. Teresita which passes through a vast
production area provides added accessibility to Cagayan’s industrial and urban centers.
This road network also serves as an alternate route to the lone trunk line which is the
Cagayan Valley Road (Maharlika Highway) and also completes a circumferential road
in the eastern part of the Province. However, only a small segment of this road network
is concrete paved and construction on some portions are underway. The completion
of concreting of the road network will drastically increase accessibility to the eastern
portions of Cagayan which in the process will open a vast area for development.
To complete the Cagayan Double-Looped Circumferential Road, a strategic

route connecting the municipalities of Tuao – Rizal – Sto. Niño - Lasam – Allacapan –
Magapit, Lallo will serve as a western alternate route parallel to the Cagayan Valley
Road (Maharlika Highway).
These two road segments will establish a double-looped circumferential road

that will traverse the eastern and western parts of the Province. This will, more or
less, open the entire Province for more development.

Province of Cagayan
These western and eastern loops will merely involve upgrading of pavements
of already existing arterial roads and minimal opening of a new road segment in Santo
Niño, Lasam and Peñablanca.
o Improvement of the internal circulation routes affecting access to

production areas by identifying and prioritizing upgrading of critical farm-
to-market roads;
o Identification of key or critical routes for priority funding and

implementation;
o Identification of locations and construction of bridges to serve not only as

alternate routes for Buntun and Magapit Bridges, the only two access points
crossing the Cagayan River, but also to connect the eastern and western
parts of the Province.
Initially identified bridges that will cross the Cagayan River are: (a) Nassiping–
Dungao Bridge connecting Nassiping, Gattaran and Dungao, Santo Niño (b) Anquiray–
Pacac Bridge connecting western and eastern Amulung, (c) Catotoran, Camalaniugan
– Mabanguc, Aparri Bridge that connects the municipalities of Camalaniugan and
Aparri, and (d) Tupang – Afusing Bridge that connects the Eastern and Western Alcala.
Namuccayan-Tamucco Bridge in Santo Niño, a bridge that will cross the Chico River
to connect the southwestern and northwestern Cagayan was also identified.
These major bridges will complete the interconnectivity of the entire Province
by connecting the road segments in the southwestern, northwestern and the eastern
parts of Cagayan. This, as a consequence, will also ease up traffic in Tuguegarao City
and Lal-lo.
The above described spatial development framework is depicted in Figure II-1

in the succeeding page.

Chapter IV
Situational Analysis
This Chapter gives a brief profile of the Province and explains and discusses in detail the
baseline condition and development of road network in Cagayan. It will also delve on the supply
and demand characteristics of the provincial road network taking into consideration that of the
city, municipal and barangay roads. In the process, the internal circulation and external linkages
shall also be described in details.
A. Brief Provincial Profile
1. Demography
Population Size, Density and Growth
The total population of Cagayan as of the 2015 census is 1,199,320. It is

predominantly rural at 85%. With an average growth rate of 1.23%, the population
of the Province is calculated to double in 30 years.
Cagayan’s population density is 125 persons per square kilometer. Tuguegarao

City, the capital of the Province and also the regional center of the Cagayan Valley
Region, is the most populated at 153,502.
Population Structure
In 2015, the bulk of the population are concentrated in the 15-64 age group
at 709,672 or 63.20% of the total population. This age group also represents the
strength of the Province’s labor force.
The dependent age groups, ages under 1-14 and ages 65 andover comprise
36.80% of the total population.
2. Location and Boundaries of the Province
Cagayan lies in the north-eastern part of mainland Luzon and the Babuyan
Group of Islands is around 60 nautical miles to its north; the Province has coordinates
approximately at 17o30' north and 121o15' east (Figure IV-1). Cagayan is one of the
five provinces of Region 02, otherwise known as the Cagayan Valley Region, occupying
the lower basin of the Cagayan River. It is bounded by the Balintang Channel to the
north which also separates Cagayan from the Province of Batanes; the Pacific Ocean
bounds the Province on the east, Isabela on the south, and the provinces of Ilocos
Norte, Kalinga and Apayao on the west. The Cordillera and Sierra Madre mountain
ranges on the western and eastern part, respectively, border the Province making it a
valley. The Cagayan River, the country's longest river runs through the middle of the
Province, meandering slightly diagonal from south to north.

Province of Cagayan
Figure IV-1
Location Map
Tuguegarao City is the capital of Cagayan Province. It is located 483 km north

of Metro Manila. From there, it can be reached in 10 to 12 hours by land travel through
the Maharlika National Highway and in about an hour by air travel. Tuguegarao is the
only city in the Province and is its most developed area. This makes the city the place
of convergence for commerce, education, culture and religion in the Province. It is
also the regional center of the Cagayan Valley Region.
3. Political Subdivision
The Province of Cagayan is politically subdivided into three congressional

districts. it consists of one component city (Tuguegarao) and 28 municipalities
comprising 820 barangays (Figure IV-2). Of the 28 municipalities, four are categorized
first class, another four are second class, eight are third class, ten are fourth class and
two are fifth class. Based on the income classification used by the Department of
Budget and Management, the Province of Cagayan is a first class province. The Capital
City – Tuguegarao, is the regional center of the Cagayan Valley Region and place of
convergence for commerce, trade and education in the Province.

4. Physical, Environmental and Geographical Features
Land Resources
The Province of Cagayan, including the Babuyan Group of Islands, has an

aggregate land area of approximately 9,003 km2 or 900,270 hectares, constituting 3%
of the total land area of the Philippines. Among the five provinces in Region 02, it
ranks second to the Province of Isabela in size. Among the municipalities in Cagayan,
Penablanca has the largest land area with 1,193 km2 which accounts for 13% of the
Province's total land area. Penablanca is followed by the municipality of Baggao, with
920 km2, and Gattaran, with 707 km2. The municipality with the smallest land area is
Sta. Teresita with only 25 km2 (Table IV-1).

5. General Land and Water Characteristics
Topography and Slope
Of the Province’s total land area, 28.19% or 253,831 hectares are flat to nearly
level land. This consists of alluvial plains, river deltas, low wetlands, mangroves and
beaches. Major rivers traverse through the vast alluvial plains. The gently sloping and
moderately sloping lands constitute 6.08% and 13.48% of the total land area of the
Province, respectively.
Most of the rolling lands to moderately steep areas which account for 17.7%
of the Province’s total land area are found in the foothills of the Sierra Madre and the
Cordillera Mountain Ranges. Steep and very steep areas which constitute 10.44% and
24.73% of the Province’s total land area, respectively, are found along the Cordillera,
some parts of Sta. Praxedes, Claveria, Sanchez Mira, Pamplona, Lasam, Santo Nino,
and Rizal and some parts of Sierra Madre particularly in Santa Ana, Gonzaga, Lal-lo,
Gattaran, Baggao and Penablanca (Figure IV-3).

Slope Map
Water Resources and Wetlands
Cagayan has abundant water resources. These include the Philippine territorial
waters in the Philippine Sea and in the Pacific Ocean within its 15km municipal waters,
and the various river systems including the lower Cagayan River.
The major river systems include the lower Cagayan River which drains Cagayan
Valley River Basin, the Pared, Dummun, Pinacanauan de Tuguegarao, and Baua River
in the eastern part, and Abulug and Chico River in the western part. These river
systems are the source of water supply to the numerous existing irrigation facilities
and water utilities in the province. It can also be harnessed for Mini Hydro and eco-
tourism development.
Wetlands including mangrove areas are also found in the Province particularly
in the coastal municipalities of Sta Ana, Aparri, Sanchez Mira, Abulug, and Sta.
Teresita, Buguey (Figure IV-4). The most prominent and extensive is the Buguey
wetland.

Province of Cagayan
Figure IV-4
Wetlands and Inland Waters Map
Geological Features
The bedrock foundation of Cagayan is Miocene to Pliocene sedimentary

bedding which includes shale, sandstone, siltstone and limestone (Figure IV-5). The
Sierra Madre mountains and the Cordillera mountains have Cretaceous bedding made
of very extensive volcanic rocks composed mainly of coarse-grained igneous rock.
The lower relief areas of the Province have a bedding made of recent alluvium
composed of unconsolidated clay, silt, sand, gravel, and cobble.
On the whole, the Province is spared from major faultlines. Only the protruding
west portion of the town of Rizal along the Cordilleras falls along the Digdig Fault,
which is considered the country’s most active fault lines. There are, however, many
minor faultlines interspersed in the entire Province including minor offshore faultlines
between mainland Cagayan and the municipality of Calayan. (Figure IV-6).

6. Climate
Cagayan has three types of climate: Type II near the Apayao Province
boundary and Babuyan Group of Islands; Type III in most of the valley; and Type IV
in the eastern side of the Sierra Madre Mountains and near the Ilocos Norte boundary
(Figure IV-7). Type II climate prevails over most of Claveria, Sanchez Mira, Pamplona,
and Abulug. It has no pronounced dry season but has very pronounced rainfall from
November to January.
Type III climate is experienced in most areas of the Province within the valley.
There is no pronounced season; although, it is relatively dry from November to April
and wet during the rest of the year. The northeast monsoon brings dry and cool winds
from November to January. Being sheltered by the Sierra Madre Mountains, prevailing
winds are north and northwest in the valley floor of Cagayan. This part of the Province
is driest in the months of February to March.
Figure IV-7
Climate Map
Type IV climate prevails over the eastern part of Sierra Madre Mountains, in
Santa Praxedes, in western Claveria as well as in some parts of Ballesteros and
Allacapan. Rainfall is evenly distributed throughout the year mainly because of the
northeast trade winds. This further enhances the suitability of these areas to planting
various crops adapted to this climate type.

Province of Cagayan
Generally the driest months are January through April. Rainy months are June,
August, and September. These rainfall patterns determine the appropriate mix of
perennial crops that can be raised in specific period for optimal production.
7. Existing Land Use

The Province of Cagayan has four general land uses — protection, production,
settlements and infrastructure.
More than 50% of its total land is devoted to production. Protection lands, on
the other hand, accounts for about 37.95%. The remaining portion is allotted for
built-up areas, industrial and tourism sites, roads and easements, and others.
Cagayan is still a predominantly agricultural province. Agriculture remains to
be the major economic catalyst that provides most of the Cagayanos with livelihood
and daily subsistence. More than 82% is still rural and are engaged in crop cultivation,
particularly rice, corn, peanut, HVCC and fruitcrops. Livestock production, particularly
carabao, cattle, goat and sheep, is also a substantial activity considering that Cagayan
has vast grassland suited for grazing. Fisheries is also significant as supported by the
abundant inland waters, wetlands and coastal areas of the Province. Emerging land
uses include leisure and tourism related businesses particularly in the operations of
beach resorts and gaming activities, small-scale manufacturing, housing and
settlements, and support infrastructures.
a. Settlement Areas
The settlement or built up areas of the province cover a total area of about
105,647.55 hectares or 11.73 percent of the province land area. These areas are
mostly located within the flat plains with river systems. Notably, the primary
settlement concentrations are commonly located at the municipal town center and
along the National roads. Tuguegarao City and Aparri show congested built up
areas due to their limited areas and rapid economic growth.
b. Protection Areas
The Protection Areas of the province with a total area of 341,690.59

includes proclaimed protected areas under the National Integrated Protected Areas
System (NIPAS), buffer zones, wetlands, protection agriculture, and other
constrained areas.
Of the proclaimed protected area, the Penablanca Protected Landscape and
Seascape is the largest with a total area of 118,781 hectares of both the terrestrial
and marine ecosystems. Notably, the northern part of Sierra Madre, involving the
municipalities of Baggao, Gattaran, Lallo, Santa Teresita, Buguey, Gonzaga and
Santa Ana, was proclaimed as “Northeast Cagayan Protected Landscape and
Seascapes” as per Provincial Executive Order No. 11.
The province’s old growth natural forest that remains within the Sierra
Madre and Cordillera mountain ranges. The areas are very crucial to the economic

Province of Cagayan
development as they provide the ecosystems services for agriculture and industrial
use of the province.
The lands covered by the Strategic Agriculture and Fishery Development
Zones (SAFDZ) in municipalities are also classified as protection areas. As provided
by Republic Act 8345 (AFMA), SAFDZs are to be devoted strictly for fishery and
agricultural production purposes.
c. Production Areas
The production lands of the province covering a total area of about

456,421.37 hectares are devoted to crop production, wood production, agro-
forestry, grazing, mining, fishery and tourism. Most of these lands are within the
classification of alienable and disposable lands covering a total area of 353,195
hectares, and the rest are grassland/scrublands. Currently, the only industrial area
of province is the sugar cane plantation and milling operated by CARSUMCO within
the municipalities of Solana, Enrile, Tuao, Piat and Sto. Nino.
d. Infrastructure Areas
The infrastructure land which consist a total area of about 9,754.90

hectares cuts across or it is within the three major land use categories.
Infrastructure land is mainly composed of the right of way of all road systems,
irrigation canals, dams/reservoirs, airports and ports.

B. Road Network Baseline Condition
1. Traffic General Characteristics
One consequence of development and economic growth is the increase in the

number of motorized vehicles. This holds true to Cagayan. More than 200,000
registered vehicles ply Cagayan’s road network. This includes cars, SUVs, UVs, buses,
trucks, motorcycles, tricycles and trailers. More than 80% of that are tricycles and
motorcycles. On top of these are vehicles from other places that use Cagayan’s road
network to access Ilocos Region and northern parts of Cordillera Administrative Region
for north-bound traffic and Kalinga, Isabela and the rest of Region 02 for south-bound
traffic. Over the past years, the effect of this increase is very apparent. Traffic

Province of Cagayan
congestion is noticeable in various points of the Province especially in urban areas like
those of Tuguegarao and Aparri.
In Tuguegarao alone, there are more than 10,000 public tricycles with
franchise from the City Government – making it the primary mode of public
transportation in the Capital City. This excludes tricycles that are utilized for private
purposes. Although, the availability and affordability of these public vehicles
complement the presence of a relatively good integrated road network that facilitates
better movement of people, transport of goods and services, and access to services
within Cagayan, they also contribute to traffic congestions in the busy rural areas
which also lead to unproductive time and wasted resources. This is prevalent in major
hubs where business, commerce, academic/school services and major facilities are
present like Tuguegarao City and Aparri.
For the majority of the road network of Cagayan, however, there is a prevalent
low traffic volume and congestion which results to the significant improvement of
connectivity and accessibility of the different municipalities and major facilities of the
Province. Trucks and buses usually ply the Cagayan Valley Road because alternative
circumferential roads are still to be developed. Traffic conditions are also affected by
the varying status of roads.
It is observed that there are scattered terminals for public vehicles in the urban
areas and that there is an absence of sound traffic management system which
contributes to the traffic congestions during peak hours in the different urban centers
of the Province.
Tuguegarao City, however, is already doing the right interventions to solve

many of these problems like the passing of stricter traffic ordinance, increase in the
number of locally-paid traffic personnel, installation of metal street barriers,
reconfiguration of traffic flows, and installation of traffic lights in selected critical
intersections.
2. External Access Infrastructure
Cagayan is accessible by air, land, and water from any part of the country. It
has facilities such as paved highways, airports for domestic flights (and also for
international flights in a limited respect) and seaports for both domestic and
international shipping. Paved national highways spanning 725.271 kilometers
effectively connects Tuguegarao City, Aparri, CEZA – Santa Ana and other major hubs
of the Province to nearby provinces like Ilocos Norte, Kalinga, Apayao, and Isabela.
The 29 component LGUs of the Province are connected by paved national roads.
Internal access to CEZA, which is an important economic growth hub for the
Province, is relatively adequate. Currently, however, investors and tourists visiting

Province of Cagayan
CEZA have to disembark at Tuguegarao airport then proceed to CEZA through land
via paved national roads. To resolve this, an international airport is currently under
development in Lal-lo to further improve the accessibility of CEZA and the Province in
general. On the other hand, another international airport is being proposed to be
located within District III of Cagayan which is a more strategic location to cater, not
only the needs of Cagayan, but also that of Isabela, Kalinga and Apayao. These
international airports will make Cagayan an alternative gateway for our neighboring
countries in the north like Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong and Macau
and the rest of China; and even in the west like Vietnam, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos,
and others.
The Province is accessible in the northwestern part via the Ilocos Region
through the Magapit–Sta. Praxedes Segment of the Manila North Road. This road
segment links Cagayan with the rest of the country via the provinces of Ilocos Norte
and Apayao. Considering that there is an International Airport in Laoag, this same
segment also serves as another gateway of Cagayan to other countries. It has a total
length of 90.6 kilometers.
On the other hand, the Province is accessible from the southwestern part
through the Enrile–Sta. Maria Section of the Santiago-Tuguegarao Road which
provides access to the rest of the country via the different municipalities lying on the
western side of Isabela Province (i.e. Sta. Maria, Quezon, Mallig, Roxas, San Manuel,
and others). This road section has a total length of 15.10 kilometers. This also serves
as an alternate route for vehicles going to Manila.
The Province can also be accessed through the Maharlika Highway which
bisects the very heart of Isabela via Santiago City-Ilagan City-Cabagan-San Pablo. This
is the usual route of vehicles going to Manila.
On the western part of the Province is the Cagayan–Kalinga Road, which

connects Cagayan with the municipalities of Rizal, Bulanao, Dagupan, Tabuk and other
municipalities of Kalinga. This road segment has a total length of 14.4 kilometers. Also,
the Tuguegarao–Tuao Section of the Cagayan–Apayao Road links Tuguegarao City
and other western municipalities of Cagayan with the southern municipalities of the
Province of Apayao. It has a total length of 50.71 kilometers.
Furthermore, the road segments from Rizal, Cagayan to Conner, Apayao and
Junction Dibalio-Luzon, Claveria, Cagayan to Calanasan, Apayao also serve as strategic
external linkages to the Cordillera Autonomous Region (CAR) from the southwestern
and northwestern parts of Cagayan respectively.
The accessibility of Cagayan is however affected by bottle neck sections which

although outside of the Province are still along Maharlika Highway such as Dalton-
Digdig Section, Oriwong-Balete Section and Caranglan–Sta. Fe Section. These are

Province of Cagayan
prone to mud slides and road closures which greatly affect the accessibility of prime
commercial areas of the southern and western portions of Luzon.
3. Internal Access Infrastructure
In the northeastern part of the Province, the Dugo–San Vicente segment of

the Cagayan Valley Road provides access to the northeastern coastal municipalities of
Cagayan like Buguey, Sta Teresita, Gonzaga, and also the Cagayan Special Economic
Zone and Freeport (CSZFP) in Santa Ana. It has a total length of 70 kilometers.
Magapit–Mission Road, an arterial road connecting Magapit, Lal-lo and Mission, Santa
Teresita, provides an alternate concrete-paved route to CSZFP in Santa Ana with a
total length of 33 km.
In the northwestern part is the Magapit – Sta. Praxedes Segment of the Manila
North Road that bisects the different coastal municipalities of Ballesteros, Abulug,
Pamplona, Sanchez Mira, Claveria and Sta. Praxedes. This road segment links these
coastal municipalities to the rest of Cagayan.
The Cagayan Valley Road which traverses the Province following practically the
course of the mighty Cagayan River provides the main trunk for local accessibility. It
connects the different major urban centers of Cagayan, which, in the process also
passes through the different less developed municipalities of the Province.
Various arterial roads classified either as Provincial, Municipal, Barangay, Farm-

to-Market Roads, NIA Roads, and even private roads, bisects and crisscrosses the
different municipalities which increases the accessibility of the different settlement
areas and economic hubs in the Province. Close scrutiny of these existing road
segments, however, reveals their varying conditions. Their present surface conditions
severely affect the accessibility of various remote barangays and production areas
within the Province. Many of these arterial roads are not concrete paved or all-weather
and are merely graveled or earth paths.
Two bridges are critical to both the external and internal linkages of the
Province namely: Buntun Bridge and Magapit Bridge. As to their significance to the
internal linkage of the Province, Buntun Bridge connects the southwestern and the
southeastern parts of the Province, while the Magapit Bridge connects the
northwestern coastal municipalities of Sta. Praxedes, Claveria, Sanchez Mira,
Pamplona, Abulug and Ballesteros to the rest of the Province. On the other hand, with
respect to these bridges’ significance in the external linkage of the Province, Buntun
Bridge connects the Province to the rest of Central Luzon and Metro Manila via the
alternate route segment of Santiago-Tuguegarao. On the other hand, Magapit Bridge
links the Province through the Magapit – Sta. Praxedes Section of the Manila North
Road via the Ilocos Region. These are critical links of the Province to the Cordillera
Administrative Region.

Province of Cagayan
It is observable, however, that despite the improving road segments in the

south-western and north-western sides of Cagayan, their effect to the overall internal
accessibility are not maximized due to the absence of bridges crossing the Cagayan
River that will connect these road segments to the eastern side of the Province. In
fact, the south-western and north-western sides of the Province are also unconnected
because of the Chico River. It is high time therefore for the Government to consider
the provision of bridges that cross the Cagayan River as alternate to these two bridges.
This will partly be solved upon completion of Junction Logac-Lasam-Gagabutan-Rizal
Road connecting Lasam and Rizal.
The effect of this disaggregation of the Province’s road segments is further

magnified by the lowly developed transshipment facility/service crossing and plying
the Cagayan River. Thus, in addition to the development of our road network would
be the parallel development of ferry landings and ports from Aparri, Nassiping in
Gattaran, Lasam, Dungao Sto. Niño, Alcala down to Tuguegarao and Enrile. This
facility/service can also serve our local tourism for activities like Visita Iglesia
considering that century-old churches in Cagayan are actually located along the
Cagayan River.
4. Road Classification
Roads are classified as either national or local roads. The National Government
through the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) develops and
manages the national roads while the local government units have jurisdiction over
local roads.
Local roads are further stratified as provincial, city, municipal and barangay
roads, which correspond to the level of local government having administrative
jurisdiction over it (i.e., provincial governments over provincial roads, city and
municipal governments over city and municipal roads, and barangay councils for
barangay roads). Other road classifications like farm-to-market roads, NIA roads,
private roads and others shall be lumped with barangay roads in the various analyses
in this document.
The road network of the Province which are classified as national and provincial
has a total length of 1,276.1503 kilometers. Viewed in its entirety, 852.5025
kilometers of this are classified as national roads and 423.6478 kilometers are
classified as provincial roads. Approximately 28 kilometers of the provincial roads are
located within Tuguegarao City and these have been maintained by the City
Government of Tuguegarao since 2002.
For the arterial roads on the other hand, out of the total 4,418.9074 kilometers,
there are 24.7996 kilometers of road segments classified as city, 621.1780 kilometers

Province of Cagayan
as municipal, and 3,772.9298 kilometers as barangay where FMR, NIA Road, private,
and other unclassified roads are lumped with barangay.
Details per District is presented as Table IV-3 below.

(Road Classification)

Province of Cagayan
The Provincial Engineer’s Office (PEO) also classifies our provincial roads into
primary, secondary, and tertiary roads.
This criteria for classifying provincial roads are as follows:

􀁺 Class 1 (Primary) – Average daily traffic of more than 75 both
ways, major collector roads between
population centers, connects national roads
airport or ferry docks, preferably with all-
weather surface;
􀁺 Class 2 (Secondary) – Traffic ranges from 25‐75 normally serving
feeder roads, connecting Class 1 roads or
perhaps national highways, although some
interruptions may be acceptable in the worst
weather;
􀁺 Class 3 (Tertiary) – Traffic expected to be less than 25 ADT
providing a mainly local service and although
an all-weather surface is desired, some class
3 roads will become impassable sometimes.
Under this criteria of classification, 9.64% of the total provincial roads are
classified as Class 1, 60.10% as Class 2, and 30.26% as Class 3.
Bridges also play a big role in supplementing roads in providing access and
transport of people and commodities. The Provincial Engineering Office is maintaining
55 provincial bridges with an aggregate length of 1,629.60 linear meters. Out of which,
50 are concrete, four are steel, and one timber.
5. Road Condition
Road condition affects accessibility to economic centers, social facilities, such

as schools and health centers, and public service institutions. The better the road
condition, the more frequently it is used, but the heavier the traffic volume, the more
the road needs maintenance.
The PEO adopted ratings of the road’s overall condition based on the general
condition and extent and severity of distress. The road condition classification used by
the PEO is as follows:
 Good – Those needing no improvement;
 Fair – Those needing just routine maintenance or spot grading;
 Poor – Those requiring significant grading to improve drainage, repair ruts
and potholes, and improve road condition; and
 Bad – those needing reconstruction to provide improved access, repair
severe distress, and improve road to good condition.
National Roads
Road condition for national roads within the Province is generally Good. Out of
the 852.50 kilometers of road segments, 711.86 or 83.50% is considered as Good,

Province of Cagayan
109.2871 kilometers or 12.82% is Fair and only about a combined 31.36 kilometers
or 3.68% is considered as Poor and/or Bad.
Provincial Roads
The road surface condition of the entire provincial roads totaling to 423.6478
kilometers, spread over the 28 municipalities and one capital city are rated as follows:
216.1710 kilometers or 51.03% are “Good”, 69.1653 kilometers or 16.33% are “Fair”,
81.4765 kilometers or 19.23% are “Poor” and 56.835 kilometers or 13.42% are “Bad”.
Overall, the provincial road condition therefore is classified generally as “Good” based
on the newly conducted Road Network Inventory Mapping through Geographic
Information System (GIS) for Cagayan. Other details are found in Table IV-4.

Arterial Roads
On the other hand, road surface condition for the various arterial roads of the
Province which includes city, municipality, barangay, FMR, NIA and other road types
reflects a more problematic picture. Out of the 4,418.9074 kilometers of road
segments, only about 1,031.5259 kilometers or 23.34% is considered as Good,
618.6855 kilometers or 14% is Fair, and a combined total of about 2,622.0353
kilometers or 59.34% are considered as Poor or Bad.
It is noteworthy, however, that all the 24.7996 kilometers city roads are
considered as Good.

Chapter V
Economic Drivers
This Chapter discusses the top economic drivers and elaborations on their overall role in
the economy and the reasons why they are considered as top economic drivers.
A. Agriculture
1. Agriculture Industry Characteristics
About 130,521 hectares are currently cultivated to rice production and 61,784
hectares for corn production. The irrigated lands cover 93,274 hectares. While the
lands cultivated to High Value Commercial Crops like mango, peanut, vegetables,
sugarcane, legumes and other industrial crops cover approximately 3,107 hectares.
The province’s potential expansion area for crop production is estimated at

around 81,364 hectares. The expansion areas are the identified idle agricultural land
and underutilized grassland.
Based on BAS Survey, the total number of households engaged in agricultural
activities is accounted at 233,108; of which 164,194 or a little more than 71% are
engaged in farming.
Of the Province’s household population ages 15 years old and over - the bulk
of the labor force, estimated at 770,722, 75% are engaged in agriculture and related
activities.

Source: Office of the Provincial Agriculturist - Cagayan
a. Rice and Corn Production
Rice is the chief commodity of the Province, and followed by corn. These
two major crops are the flagship products of the Province which engaged
151,912 farmers, that is, 108,768 for rice and 43,144 for corn. It is estimated
that of the 233,108 total number of farming households in the Province,
65.168% are engaged in rice and corn production.
Considering the number of farmers involved in the value chain

development of the commodities, investments on infrastructures support
especially that links production to marketing are vital interventions to increase
their income. Moreover, Cagayan as a granary of the country, will play a
significant role in reducing importation of these staple commodities.
b. Dairy Production
Cagayan would like to take a niche in the dairy industry by concentrating

on this not-so-common milk source. Cagayan is one of the top producers of
carabao and this gives a significant edge in this dairy industry niche.
Dairy production and processing, a promising industry, is envisioned to be

a major income source. Cagayan would like to take a niche in the dairy industry
being a large holder of carabao inventory.
The dairy industry is particularly emerging in Tuguegarao City, Iguig,

Amulung, Alcala, Lallo, Enrile, Solana, and Piat, having competitive advantage in

Province of Cagayan
terms of number of dairy buffalos, institutional support, and area of land that
can be devoted to it. Smallholder producers remain the major player in the
market. However, the presence of the Philippine Carabao Center in Tuguegarao
City should be instrumental in optimizing Cagayan’s capacity for dairying.
In the implementation of the development interventions especially Farm-

to- Market Roads, it is expected that the number of dairy raisers and small scale
processors will increase, likewise, their income; small processors shall elevate
into large-scale enterprises.
Moreover, the dairy industry shall contribute to the livestock industry and
be a major employment generator in the rural areas. It is also expected that the
dairy industry will trigger the improvement of allied businesses like carabeef
production. Eventually, the industry will help in alleviating poverty in the Province
as it provides various livelihood opportunities.
c. Mango Production
The production and marketing of Carabao Mango is a growing agricultural

enterprise in the Province. The industry outlook is to have an established large-
scale processing hub with integrated tree farms, and consolidation centers
strategically dispersed/spread in the Province. It is envisaged that the Province
will become the “Carabao Mango Capital” in the Country. It is also foreseen that
Cagayan’s Mango will become one of the most popular in foreign markets.
The Mango industry in the Province involves 2,800 commercial growers

maintaining 135,568 trees, 19 consolidators – this is aside from the thousands
of backyard growers, with less than 10 trees, who derive additional income from
their produce. Commercial scale production of the commodity is foreseen to
generate farm jobs in the rural areas, thereby, contributing in the reduction of
incidence of poverty in the Province. Hence, improving accessibility is a needed
investment from government.
2. Selection of Agriculture as Top Economic Driver
Considering the number of farmers/raisers, rising agri-based industries, and the

extensiveness and suitability of production lands for crop production, agriculture is
therefore seen as top economic driver.
With interventions harnessing the value chain development – from production,

processing, and marketing, of the priority commodities namely: dairy, mango, rice
and corn, the number of agri-based enterprises and employment will increase.
Supported by infrastructure especially roads linking production areas to processing
areas and to markets, a higher return of investments and income will be attained,
thereby sustaining growth in the agriculture sector.

B. Tourism Industry, Service and Trade Characteristics
The comparative advantages of the Province’s Tourism Industry is characterized by

its diverse natural endowments like pristine beaches, ecological park, caves, unique
ecosystems of islands, and man-made attractions such as century-old churches, first
hanging bridge in South East Asia, historical buildings and landmarks, and resorts.

Center where Regional Line Agencies are located, has many large private establishments
that provide medical, educational, leisure and recreational services. Based on DTI
Registration, a total of 4,747 establishments are engaged in providing services from 2013-
to 2017. Also, there are 4 universities (1 state and 3 private), 7 colleges, 23
technical/vocational (TechVoc) schools operating in the province. On the other hand, there
are 23 (17 clinics 6 hospitals) private medical establishments.
Trading establishments and enterprises providing community/personal services are

practically located in urban areas of municipality or growth centers, specifically
Tuguegarao City. Based on the Registration of the Department of Trade and Industry
(DTI), the cumulative total of business establishments engaged in trading has reached
7,234 which comprise 56% of the total number of establishments – all class in year 2013-
2017. There are 60 banks (commercial and rural) in the province, of which 31 are
operating in Tuguegarao city and in commercially progressing municipalities.
1. Selection of Tourism Industry, Service and Trade as Top Economic Drivers
Given the Province’s natural endowments, heritage and cultural richness, and
picturesque sites, a tourism industry that is vibrant and sustainable is desired. The
tourism industry as economic driver is expected to serve as a major revenue generator
of the Province.
The proliferation of trading establishments and enterprises providing

community/personal services in urbanized municipalities contributes largely to building
up Province’s Growth Centers. The prominence of Tuguegarao City as the regional
center helps promote the service sector of the Province.
Roads interconnecting the municipalities to Province’s Growth Centers will

enable boost trading and sustain community/personal service businesses. With the
interconnection of LGUs, eventually, the small municipalities will economically grow,

Province of Cagayan
and existing growth centers will expand. Generally, the growth of the service sector
supports the goal of attaining inclusive economic growth.
Figure V-3
Tourism Support and Stakeholders Map
C. Manufacturing
Large manufacturing industries, except CARSUMCO, are inexistent in the Province.

Only medium scale feed milling enterprises do business in the Province. Notably, there
are 641 small manufacturing establishments which are predominantly engaged in food
processing and metalcraft. Compared to other economic sectors, manufacturing is least
prominent in terms of output.
1. Selection of Manufacturing Industry as Economic Driver
The low growth of manufacturing industries is attributed to low investments.

The state of investments for agribased processing and manufacturing ventures is
attributed to inadequate infrastructure support specifically road networks.
Interventions aimed harnessing investments and providing infrastructure

supports such as roads connecting agricultural production areas to industries, to ports,
to Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Free Port (CSEZFP), and to potential industrial

Province of Cagayan
areas are imperative to achieve agro-industrialization and significant contribution of

the manufacturing sector in the provincial economy.

Chapter VI
Value Chain Analysis
A. Value Chain Analysis Framework
This part of the Plan elaborates the Value Chain Analysis (VCA). The VCA rationalizes
the need of road investments in making and developing the different economic drivers work.
It also presents the bases and explanations in determining the road investments that will most
benefit, and produces impact or value. In the process, stakeholders and key players
particularly facilitators as well as beneficiaries and other stakeholders were identified and
mapped by sector.
The VCA justifies that road investments are paramount in agriculture sector. Further,
the tourism, service, trade and manufacturing industry need a developed road network for
them to optimize their operations and generate higher revenues.
1. Agricultural Development
The value chain development of the commodity emphasizes the links of the different
segments and the value adding activities by each segment. It therefore provides
explanation how primary producers are link to markets and to end consumers. As it
provides analysis on the specific commodity development’s potential economic impacts,
the tool likewise provides bases for prioritizing interventions for agricultural development.
In the Value Chain Analysis (VCA) of the agricultural development sector, the
Expanded Vulnerability and Suitability Assessment (E-VSA) was used to determine
primarily the suitability of the development activities of a select commodity and its
advantages.
The VCA in this Sector presents that there are large number of farmer-beneficiaries
in crop production; most municipalities have extensive production areas that will be
impacted by the road investments; and road improvements will help expand and intensify
crop production ventures.
a. Rice and Corn Development
The E-VSA for rice reveals that the twenty (20) component local government
units considered as large rice producers or key players for rice production in the
Province are Solana, Allacapan, Tuao, Aparri, Abulug, Lasam, Amulung, Buguey,
Gattaran, Camalaniugan, Ballesteros, Baggao, Enrile, Lal-lo, Alcala, Pamplona,
Claveria, Piat, Santa Teresita and Gonzaga. Notably, welve of these component LGUs
have more than 1,000 farmers involved in rice production; they are Camalaniugan,
Buguey, Peñablanca, Gattaran, Tuao, Lal-lo, Aparri, Iguig, Gonzaga, Amulung, Solana
and Santa Teresita.
48 | Chapter VI – Value Chain Analysis

Province of Cagayan
Figure VI-1
Rice E-VSA Map
On the other hand, there at least twenty (20) component local government units
identified as key players for corn production; they are Baggao, Amulung, Tuao, Gattaran,
Alcala, Piat, Abulug, Solana, Enrile, Rizal, Pamplona, Peñablanca, Tuguegarao City,
Allacapan, Gonzaga, Lal-lo, Lasam, Santo Niño, Iguig and Buguey. Of the identified LGU
corn producers, seven have more than 1,000 farmers involved in corn production; they
are, Amulung, Tuao, Gattaran, Alcala, Piat and Abulug.
Figure VI-2
Corn E-VSA Map

Province of Cagayan
b. Dairy Industry Development
The dairy industry involves 22,191 dairy raisers, 25 Cooperatives/ Associations

and 7 processor-enterprises operating and dispersed in the Province. There are sixteen
(16) identified component local government units which play important roles (key
players) in the development of the industry, namely: Solana, Peñablanca, Baggao,
Amulung, Enrile, Santo Niño, Tuao, Allacapan, Gattaran, Lal-lo, Rizal, Tuguegarao City,
Lasam, Alcala, Iguig and Piat. It is Peñablanca, however, that has the largest
pastureland at 15,334.70 hectares, followed by Lal-lo at 8,255.66 hectares, Allacapan
at 7,471.03 hectares, Rizal at 7,169.24 hectares and Solana at 7,126.90 hectares. The
Province has a total pastureland of 101,251.95 hectares.
Figure VI-3
Dairy Commodity Map
c. Mango Industry Development
On mango industry, the fifteen (15) LGUs identified as key players, practically
based on the number of their commercial growers and matured mango trees, are
Rizal, Lal-lo. Gattaran, Enrile, Iguig, Piat, Alcala, Peñablanca, Tuao, Solana, Santo
Niño, Abulug, Amulung, Lasam and Allacapan. The LGUs that have more than 10,000
matured mango trees are: Gattaran (25,072); Rizal (23,200); Lal-lo (14,821); Iguig
(13,356); and Enrile (13,039). As a whole, the Province has a total of 135,568 matured
mango trees from 2,800 farmer-growers.

Commodity Map for Carabao Mango
2. Tourism, Service, and Trade Promotion
The VCA results reveal that the business establishments are concentrated on
tourism, service and trade. It further presents that the Province has comparative
advantage in these activities. Hollistically, the sectors’ development requires road
investments especially that links tourist sites to Province’s growth centers, and to airports
and to the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport (CSEZFP).
3. Tourism
The tourism industry is providing and harnessing tourism products namely: a.

ecotourism, b. farm tourism, c. cultural tourism, sports tourism and culinary tourism.
LGUs with tourism comparative advantages play the roles of catalyst, promoter and
investment incentives provider in the development of the industry. Importantly, recreation
and accommodation service providers are key players especially in the coastal areas.
Also, the CEZA as administrator of the Cagayan Special Economic Zone and Freeport
(CSEZFP), entices locators to invest in leisure activities and amenities. It is, therefore, a
major promoter and contributor of the tourism industry. The two airports- Tuguegarao
Domestic Airport and Lallo International Airport are certainly key industry supporters.

Province of Cagayan
Tuguegarao City, Aparri, Sta. Ana, Claveria, and Tuao the Province’s Growth
Centers, serve as trading centers and hosts of service establishments.
The Regional Government Center located in Tuguegarao City is a prominent host

and major contributor in attracting community and personal service related ventures.
4. Manufacturing Industry
As to economic outputs, manufacturing is the least performer among the drivers in

the Province. Although the industry is least prominent, the VCA rationalizes that road
networks connecting farms to manufacturing firms or industrial zones are vital in attaining
agri-industrialization.
5. Manufacturing
The existence of CARSUMCO is significant in the Province for it is the only enterprise
categorized as large manufacturing firm. There are, however, medium scale agribased
industries in Solana and Enrile engaged especially in feed milling.
LGUs with industrial areas, as allocated in their Land Use Plan, play the lead role in
attracting investments in their respective jurisdiction. Further, the CEZA provides spaces
in the economic zone. It plays therefore key role in the agri-industrialization of the
Province.

Province of Cagayan
Chapter VII
Core Roads for Economic Drivers
In this Chapter, arterial roads which are critical to the completion of the proposed
Double-looped Circumferential Roads were identified for possible conversion to provincial or
even national roads. The current conditions of these road segments are either graveled or
earth-filled and their upgrading into all-weather roads is desired.
Bridges that will connect the otherwise disaggregated road segments of Cagayan due
to our large rivers are also identified. The proposed Double-looped Circumferential Roads will
interconnect the various growth centers of the Province – thus, also the local economic
drivers/players and important landuses like croplands and grazing lands.
Arterial Roads Identified as Core Roads

The herein presented identified arterial roads are considered as strategic local roads
with inter-provincial linkages and even national-local connectivity and with inter- and intra-
regional development implications. These shall be submitted to the Regional Development
Council, Region 02 and other appropriate national agencies for reference and possible
programming support – this effort shall be without prejudice to the possibility of allocating
local funds for the same.
Although there are many, three road segments were identified as priorities, as follows:
(a) Quibal, Peñablanca – Mocag, Baggao Road, (b) Namuccayan, Santo Niño – Centro Lasam
Road, and (c) Duyun, Rizal – Apayao Road. These priority core roads for conversion are shown
in Figure VII-1, below, and individually in Figures VII-2, VII-3 and VII-4.

Province of Cagayan
Figure VII-2
(Quibal, Peñablanca – Mocag, Baggao Road)
Figure VII-3
(Namuccayan, Santo Niño – Centro, Lasam Road)

Province of Cagayan
The two road segments will not only complete the alternate routes in the eastern and
western sides of our Province to Ilocos in the north, but will also pass through the vast
production lands of Cagayan and will support the dairy industry, mango industry and other
industries based on commodities like peanut, rice, corn, tobacco, banana, cacao, tilapia and
others which are produced in commercial scales in Cagayan enabling the entire Province to
economically advance and contribute in regional and national development. The Quibal,
Peñablanca - Mocag, Baggao Road is approximately 21.10 kilometers and Namuccayan, Santo
Niño - Centro, Lasam Road is approximately 23.5 kilometers.
Figure VII-4
(Duyun, Rizal – Apayao Road)
Duyun, Rizal – Apayao Road, on the other hand, will connect us, not only to the
Province of Apayao, but also to the entire Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Ilocos
Region via the southwestern side of Cagayan. This road segment is approximately 7.58
kilometers.
The road segment found at the western most side of Lasam and Santo Niño, which
was also previously included in the proposed Double-looped Circumferential Road in the
PDPFP and the Updated PDPFP is no longer included here because it is now converted into
National Road and the upgrading thereof by the DPWH is on going. The road segment is now
called Junction Logac-Lasam-Gagabutan-Rizal Road. Upon completion, it will serve as an
alternative road to the Maharlika Highway in that western most part of Cagayan.

Province of Cagayan
Major Bridges Across the Cagayan River

To complete the Proposed Double-looped Circumferential Roads, various bridges must
be constructed to connect the disaggregated road segments of Cagayan which were divided
by large rivers into northwestern, southwestern and eastern parts. Cagayan River is by far
the largest of these bodies of freshwater and Chico River, Pinacanauan River, Pared River and
Dummun River are the largest of its tributaries. Abulug River also disconnects the
northwestern part of the Province but required bridges were already constructed in that part
of the Province.
The presence of these rivers is both a boon and a curse/bane because while these
great rivers provide freshwater, fish and other bounties, they also disconnect or cut off
portions of Cagayan and hinders the development of some portions of the Province. The effect
of this phenomenon becomes more pronounced in the absence of major bridges in strategic
locations along these rivers.
So far, Buntun Bridge located at the southern part of the Province and Magapit Bridge
at its northern part are the only bridges along the Cagayan River. These two bridges are
almost 50 years old and were constructed in the 1970s.
The construction of new bridges in strategic parts of these rivers therefore is
imperative if we want the entire Province to develop and achieve its potential as a key
contributor to the regional and national development as a major agricultural commodity
producer.
Some of the identified bridges are:

o Nassiping – Dungao Bridge that connects the municipalities of Gattaran and Santo
Niño;
o Catotoran, Camalaniugan – Mabanguc, Aparri Bridge that connects the
municipalities of Camalaniugan and Aparri;
o Anquiray – Pacac Bridge in Amulung which connect the eastern and western parts
of that municipality; and
o Tupang – Afusing Bridge that connects the Eastern and Western Alcala.
The strategic significance of these bridges are further justified because they will link
the isolated portions of western Cagayan, known for their vast agricultural production areas,
to the more developed eastern Cagayan. The western areas that will be linked are known as
producers of various commodities like mango, peanut, rice, corn, tobacco, banana, cacao,
tilapia and others. It is also known for the large numbers of dairy buffalos, dairy cattle and
dairy goats that can serve as a significant source of raw material for the development of dairy
industry in Cagayan. The predominant economic activity in these areas are agriculture,
particularly, crop, livestock production and even fisheries.
Major Bridge Across Chico River

Another major bridge that is required to complete the Namuccayan, Santo Niño –
Centro Lasam Road, a proposed core road in this Chapter, which is actually a part of the Rizal-
Piat-Santo Niño-Lasam-Allacapan Road Segment – a road segment which will practically
traverse the entire western portion of Cagayan from the national roads in the southwestern

Province of Cagayan
part of Cagayan in Piat, and leading to roads that reconnect to the national highway in the
northwestern part of the Province in Lasam.
Along this stretch, the Namuccayan-Tamucco Bridge that will cross the Chico River
needs to be constructed. The construction of this bridge, together with the upgrading of the
Namuccayan, Santo Niño – Centro Lasam Road section aims to provide an all-weather road
that would be accessible throughout the year in the western part of the Province and will act
as a reliable alternate route to the Daang Maharlika which is currently the only way to Ilocos
Region passing through the eastern side of the Cagayan River.
These bridges will improve the overall internal accessibility of Cagayan and the
Province’s connectivity with other growth centers in Cagayan Valley Region and other
neighboring regions.

Chapter VIII
Development Issues and Challenges
A. Provincial Development Issues
The Province of Cagayan, as a lead player in the regional economic

development pursues a “Tri-Convergent Growth Areas” spatial development thrust.
As it carries-out the thrust, the Province seeks to address the following core
development issues:
1. Unbalanced local economy

The provincial economy is unbalanced. The agriculture sector highly dominates
the economy while the manufacturing is seemingly far behind in terms of outputs
and income. Productions of manufacturing industries are only at micro- and small-
scale levels. Notably, there is a low level of investments in agri-based
manufacturing industries.
2. Incompatible Land Uses

The increasing demands for land primarily driven by competing economic
activities pose threat to the physical and sustainable development of the Province.
The illegal conversion of prime agricultural lands to other uses has been
unrestrained.
3. Unmanaged Utilization of Resources

The Province’s natural resources are disturbed by exploitation and reckless
extraction activities. Wetlands are irresponsibly used for aquaculture or crop
production. Fishing and aquaculture in the long stretch of coastal lines need to be
commercially optimized. Illegal fishing and poaching by foreign, and even local,
fishing vessels still persist.
In the context of Province’s spatial development, the slow pace of agricultural,

tourism, agro-industrial development are imputable to poor roads and
inaccessibility. The thrust, therefore, shall address the inadequacy of efficient road
systems. The following challenges that relates to road network development are:
a. Inaccessibility of production areas and tourism sites;
b. Poor road link of production areas to industries, and to markets;
c. Inefficient/Deficient internal road network connecting growth centers and
major transport facilities;
d. Inadequacy of LGUs funds; and
e. Weak coordination, planning and management by the key stakeholders.
The stagnation of the rural areas and agriculture is attributable to the

inaccessibility of production areas. Farms are poorly link to markets and to agri-
processing industries. Observably, the inadequacy and poorly established farm-to-
60 | Chapter VIII – Development Issues and Challenges
Province of Cagayan
market roads is a chief factor contributory to slow pace of agricultural development.

Also, roads leading to sites endowed with natural attractions or potential tourist spots
are underdeveloped, if not inexistent.
The internal access of the province leading or connecting growth centers -

urbanizing and commercially growing municipalities, are ostensibly deficient.
With the expanding social services but meager income and revenue, LGUs are
being challenged in the allocation of funds. The Province and LGUs are hurdling to
fund road network development projects. On the area of administration, key
stakeholders and among LGUs manifest poor collaboration in road network
management. In the LGUs, Local Road Management (LRM) organizational structures,
information and resources, policies and plans, and monitoring and evaluation system
are incomplete or some LRM standard processes are lacking thereby indicating weak
capacity.
B. Road Network Development Issues and Challenges
Various development issues and challenges were identified and they were outlined as
follows:
1. Road Network Planning and Design
a. Political concerns and biases are the primary consideration in the prioritization of road
development projects;
b. There is no community/stakeholders’ participation in road development prioritization;
c. The existing road design is no longer applicable to the current traffic volume and
vehicle loads for some provincial roads;
2. Road Development and Maintenance
a. Insufficient and inefficient internal and external circulation routes due to varying road
surface conditions;
b. Lack of alternate routes for significant access points due to wide span of river banks
requiring long span bridges parallel to and proximate to the following bridges: (a)
Buntun, and (b) Magapit;
c. Poorly maintained circumferential roads connecting lateral roads from Peñablanca, to
Baggao to Gattaran to Lal-lo and inefficient routes leading to CEZA due to high cost
of investment, poorly maintained roads, unfavorable terrain and presence of rivers in
between existing lateral roads;
d. Insufficient funds to sustainably maintain provincial roads. Allocations are usually
concentrated only for petroleum, oil and lubricant expenses for regravelling works;
e. Inadequate road maintenance activities;
f. Inefficient allocation of resources for infrastructure services;

Province of Cagayan
g. Incidence of soil erosion and landslides in upland areas that further deteriorates road
conditions;
h. Vegetative approaches in slope control activities are not yet used as part of road
maintenance designs;
i. Inadequate installation and capacity of cross drainage in some provincial roads causing
the run-off water to overflow or spill on the roadway consequently loosening the
compacted road materials
j. Inadequate and outdated maintenance equipment;
k. PEO lacks material testing equipment like the Calibration Bearing Ratio (CBR)
apparatus to determine fitness of materials to be used in the road projects and
characteristics of the subgrade soil;
l. Lack of workforce competency in material testing particularly in load bearing capacity
of soil and toughness/abrasion of aggregates;
m. Lack of community participation in road maintenance;
n. Insufficiency of proper monitoring and supervision of road rehabilitation and
maintenance activities;
3. Road Repair and Rehabilitation
a. Limited budget allocation for road repair and rehabilitation;

b. Inadequate adoption of new techniques and methodologies on road repair and
rehabilitation;
c. Non-availability of material testing apparatus needed for field density testing and other
material testing activities; and
4. Road Safety and Traffic Management
a. Absence of Road Safety Council in the different levels of local governments;

b. Absence of functional inter-agency mechanism to lead and a committee to anchor road
safety administration;
c. Destruction of the road systems due to lack of enforcement of road regulations (the
actual load of vehicles utilizing the roads are heavier than the design load of the
roads);
d. Lack of road safety features, information and signages for provincial and arterial roads;
e. Poor traffic management systems within the urban centers of the Province;
f. Scattered public transportation terminals in the urban centers of the Province;
g. Inadequacy of properly trained responders to handle post-crash situations;
h. Inadequate medical response equipment in public hospitals and trauma centers;
i. Inadequate transport/mobilization for the responders;
j. Laxity in the imposition of existing laws, rules and regulations related to road safety
like truck overloading, seat belt, helmet, etc.;

Province of Cagayan
Chapter IX
Road Network Development Strategies
1. Road Development and Maintenance Strategy
Under this strategy, the following shall be emphasized:
a. Conduct of road condition survey and network inventory for better decision-
making;
b. Beef-up the Provincial Equipment Pool and procure necessary engineering tools
like material testing apparatus;
c. The practice of dividing the Province into more manageable Road Network
Development areas shall be continued;
d. Coordinate with the community for possible design of schemes/means for their
participation in road maintenance and come up with pro-forma MOA or MOU to
facilitate the same;
e. New road network constructions/upgradings shall take into consideration the
current traffic volume and vehicle loads for all provincial roads;
f. Instead of concentrating road network maintenance funds for regravelling, the use
of recycler/stabilizer machines shall be considered and prioritized. The existing
recycler/stabilizer machine of the PEO shall be repaired and additional units shall
be procured;
g. Come up with better schemes allocating local funds and also explore the possibility
of availing national or international funds for road network development;
h. Research and adopt new techniques and methodologies on road repair,
rehabilitation, maintenance and construction;
i. Procure material testing apparatus needed for field density testing and other
material testing activities of the PEO;
j. To ensure that road design shall be based on traffic volume and loads and not just
on road classification. As an example, even if the road is merely a provincial road
if the traffic volume and load would require national standards then requirements
for national road construction will be followed in its construction.
2. Implementation and Procurement Strategy
For rehabilitation and upgrading, the preferred service delivery mode is

through contracting out as it is more cost-efficient. Private contractors who have
proven track record in road service delivery will be invited to submit their tenders in a
competitive, transparent process and bidding shall be conducted using the provisions
of the procurement law.
For maintenance, service delivery mode may be through “By Administration”.
63 | Chapter IX – Road Network Development Strategies

Province of Cagayan
3. Prioritization/Selection Strategy
The Province’s core road network must be defined by the PDPFP, PCIP and
other provincial development plans, the Provincial Spatial Development Strategy,
location and directions of growth centers and settlements, and existing access
infrastructure supporting the Province’s development strategy.
New technologies like Geographic Information System (GIS), open source data
and software must be utilized for road prioritization and selection.
Road prioritization and selection must also be guided by the following core
principles:
• Transparency. Selecting the priority roads for maintenance, upgrading, or

rehabilitation requires a transparent process. Setting the criteria, assigning
points to each selection criteria, and the process of ranking should be done
in a transparent manner so as to clear doubts and confusions as well as
ensure that politicking and unfair advantage are avoided.
 Stakeholder Participation. It must be ensured that relevant

stakeholders in the management and maintenance of roads are consulted
in the process of selecting priority roads. These include local government
units, non-government organizations, national government agencies, the
business sector, the academe, and communities. Wider stakeholder
engagement means better appreciation of the situation to allow a more
meaningful and strategic ranking exercise.
• Relevance to Provincial Goals. While there are criteria to be agreed

upon by stakeholders, it is important that an overarching consideration is
the relevance of the prioritization exercise to the development goals of the
provincial government.
In the road selection process, the province ensures an updated road condition
survey and network inventory as a primary basis for road prioritization. This is led by
the PEO in close coordination with the PPDO.
Secondly, a stakeholder’s workshop is convened to ensure a participatory

process in road prioritization, and ward off the risks of politicization of the ranking
process and to ensure coverage of different perspectives. In the stakeholders’
workshop, the criteria as well as the corresponding weights and points are defined by
the participants.
Based on development trends and directions, forecasts on development

scenarios in population and land use, road traffic volume, road condition, and
alternative access points were also considered.

Province of Cagayan
4. Road Safety and Traffic Management Strategy

a. The establishment of a Provincial Road Safety Council and its counterparts in the
city/municipal levels shall be explored. The same shall be an inter-agency
institutional mechanism to lead in road safety administration and coordination of
road regulations;
b. Explore the possibility of coordination with DPWH on the monitoring of vehicles
loads to avoid destruction of road systems due to lack of enforcement of
appropriate regulations (i.e. the actual load of vehicles utilizing the roads are
heavier than the design load of the roads);
c. Motor Vehicle User’s Charge – Special Local Road Fund shall strictly be utilized for
road safety features, information and signages for provincial and arterial roads;
d. To adopt a Sangguniang Panlalawigan resolution encouraging urban centers of the
Province to establish their respective Traffic Management Systems and centralized
public transportation terminals;
e. To strengthen the PCCDRRMO personnel complement for responders and train
them to handle post-crash situations; and also explore the possibility of cascading
the knowledge/skills to their counterparts in the city/municipalities or even
barangays;
f. To equip district hospitals with medical response equipment for trauma;
5. Revenue and Expenditure Management Strategy

The adoption of the Public Financial Management (PFM) System is underscored
in this strategy. The Provincial Finance Committee adopted and implemented said
System through the assistance of the Department of Budget and Management. It is a
system of rules, procedures and practices for government to manage public finances
with the end in view of encouraging the LGUs to generate its own resources. Through
the PFM the province will ensure availability of resources to meet the priority needs
and at the same time it also encourages curbing spending and promote sustainability
of prioritized programs and projects. Identification weaknesses and opportunities were
done in order to address the threats in terms of fiscal capacities.
With the aid of the PFM System, the Province is encouraged to efficiently use
its provincial resources and promote accountability and transparency on public
financial transaction. With this financial management systems, policy and practices are
enhanced and at the same time officials of the Province are encouraged to come up
with greater initiative in the administration of its fiscal affairs in order to intensify its
fiscal capacity to finance its priorities particularly its provincial roads.
The provinces ability to finance development greatly depends on its capability

to raise the necessary revenues and income. To cope with the substantial increase in
the productive expenditure especially for infrastructure and social services, the
Province has intensified its collection efforts through the implementation of new

Province of Cagayan
programs and projects such as “Operation Suyod’’, conduct of public auction on real
properties and the like.
The Province remains committed to the implementation of expenditure reforms

that aims for strong and healthy fiscal position and bring about a more transparent
and accountable spending.
In programming, the Province has intensified efforts to weed out lumpsum

budgets. The Province also sticks to the current practice of two year validity of
appropriation on maintenance and capital outlay. With these policies the Province can
further utilize and maximize provincial funds for other infrastructure project.
6. Human Resource Management and Development Strategy

The development and management of a road network could not be achieved
without human resources capable and skilled to carry out the functions of the program.
It is thus imperative for the Provincial Government to enhance the capabilities of its
workforce to fully carry out plans and targets towards achieving goals and objectives
in the road sector.
To ensure that the skills of the staff match the requirements of program
implementation, a staff skills inventory shall be conducted every three years, the
results of which are analyzed to identify gaps and recommend necessary human
resource interventions and other capability building programs.
The success of the implementation of the programs does not only depend on
the capabilities of the human resources but also on the structures, systems and
processes adopted by the Provincial Government. To address this concern, an
assessment of the HR systems will be conducted spearheaded by the Human Resource
Plan. The results of the assessment will be the basis for the enhancement and
establishment of HR systems that are more responsive and relevant to the
achievement of the programs and the overall directions of the Provincial Government.
These human resource systems for recruitment, retention, promotion,

rewards, incentives, personnel relations, succession planning, retirement and other
processes ensure that the right persons are engaged to carry out program
implementation, and that adequate incentives and capacity development are provided
for employees to stay on the job and productively contribute to the attainment of the
province’s development directions.
The HRMDO shall undertake the following:
a. Design and implement the Human Resource Plan
 Identify appropriate strategies and methodologies to respond to HR
needs of the selected PRNDP Personnel;
 Formulate and develop medium-term Human Resource
Development Plan for selected PRNDP Personnel;

Province of Cagayan
b. Develop technical skills of personnel by conducting and/or coordinating

training/seminar of selected employees of the Engineering and
Planning Offices, to include selected IT personnel, on the following
areas:
 Specialized Areas on:
o Engineering
 Updates in Engineering
 Cost Estimates and Design
 Materials and quality Control and Testing
o Computer-Aided Designs:
 Auto CAD
 Civil 3D
o Administrative Areas;
 Strategic Management
 Supervisory Enrichment
 Technical Writing
 Project Management
o Planning:
 Development and Environmental Planning
 Urban Planning
 Project Development
 Project Monitoring and Evaluation
7. Information Management Strategy
The emphasis of this strategy is ensuring that current ICT systems and
infrastructure in the Provincial Government of Cagayan are robust and secure. The
upgrading of the existing Provincial Capitol Inter-departmental Local Area Network
shall be prioritized. It is aimed to electronically connect all departments within the
capitol compound, enhance the connectivity of each office and smoothen the sharing
of databases and various information generated by the Provincial Government. It is
also planned to interconnect all departments, district hospitals and field offices outside
the Capitol Compound through Internet. Interconnectivity of all departments and units
of the Provincial Government will ensure smooth information exchange and sharing of
data and better operations and monitoring.
In addition, this strategy embraces the creation of the ICT Department that
will provide an “umbrella” framework upon which all provincial ICT initiatives can be
incorporated.
The Provincial Government through the Information Technology Division of the

PPDO has been capturing Geographic Information System (GIS) related databases
which are important for more scientific spatial analysis as required in the formulation
of various development plans like PRNDP and PDPFP. Training in spatial analysis for

Province of Cagayan
development and infrastructure planning shall also be provided to further capacitate

the GIS personnel.
The IT Division – PPDO is actually the satellite Provincial GIS Center of the
Regional Geographic Information Network (RGIN) where the NEDA Regional Office
No.2 is the Secretariat. The policy agreement on data sharing between government
entities under the RGIN shall be supported and promoted. An Information Flow Model
between the different provincial departments shall also be developed to facilitate data
sharing.
8. Environmental Management Strategy
The Development Vision of the Province underscores sustainability and healthy

environment as a critical feature or aspect of the desired development. It seeks to
maintain, rehabilitate or restore, as the case may be, the natural ecological balance
and aesthetic quality being impacted by human activities, urbanization and population
growth.
Some strategies for maintaining healthy environment and degradation
mitigation measures are as follows:
a. Requirements of laws and policies that ensure the conservation of wildlife
habitat, protection of archaeological/paleontological finds, and protection
of environment prior to the implementation of road network projects must
be complied with;
b. Vegetative approaches in slope control activities shall be studied and used
as part of road maintenance designs especially in areas where incidence of
soil erosion and landslides are prevalent that further deteriorates road
conditions;
c. Protection or maintenance of the outstanding scenic views of sites along
road network projects must always be ensured;
d. Sites, structures and objects that have historical, religious and social
significance must be protected;
e. Conservation and protection of natural resources, including air, water and
soil from pollution or deterioration, which would dangerously alter
ecological balance and endanger human health must be avoided;
f. Ensuring that all quarrying of sand, gravel and rocks shall take place under
conditions which foster compatibility with existing surrounding land uses
and measures shall be provided for the restoration of quarry sites;
g. Establishment of new routes to access quarry sites must be avoided and
the nearest and most viable sites must be selected, not only for economic
reasons, but more so to minimize scarring of the natural landscape;
h. Formulation and enforcement of relevant/appropriate policies and local
ordinances on forest protection;
i. Devise/develop the most appropriate institutional mechanism for plan,
implementation, monitoring, evaluation and coordination on forest
protection;

Province of Cagayan
j. Proper storing of used oil, grease and other substances that can
contaminate surface and ground water;
k. Proper disposal of removed waste in the project site shall be done;
l. Enhance vegetative cover along steep slopes to control soil erosion;
m. Provision of signages at strategic points along the boundary of the forest
area (e.g. no cutting of trees, no bird hunting etc.).
9. Community Engagement Strategy
Cognizance to the provision of the Local Government Code of 1991 which

declares people participation and empowerment as a state policy for effective local
governance, core approaches should lead to engaging key stakeholders including the
civil society organizations, local communities, affected indigenous communities, road
beneficiaries and industry players in provincial road development.
More scientific processes for community/stakeholders’ participation in road
development prioritization shall be improved so that, as much as practicable, political
concerns and biases in the process shall be minimized or avoided;
Community engagement activities range from consultations, knowledge
sharing, extension works, information and education campaigns, private sector and
community participation in public processes, collaborative actions either in informal
groups or formal partnerships and other possible community involvements prior to any
development interventions. Schemes to institutionalize community participation in
road maintenance shall also be explored.
In these engagements, promotion of gender equity, cultural sensitivity and
social inclusion shall be emphasized.
10. Project Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy
Monitoring, evaluating and reporting on the implementation of the PRNDP are

crucial to assess the effectiveness and usability of the Plan. Evaluating the
performance is hinged on the following objectives:
a. To enable the Province to determine its status and progress against the
LRNDP targets, objectives, and goals, and provide actionable information
to stakeholders and decision makers; and
b. To enable the Province to improve LRNDP activities and subsequent plans,
making it more effective in delivering what it should deliver.
c. To enable the province to improve performance in terms of formulating,
designing and implementing policies;
d. To enable the province to enhance transparency and accountability of the
departments/agencies which implement the interventions.
Monitoring and Evaluation activities for the LRNDP are conducted within the
framework and structure of the Provincial Project Monitoring and Evaluation System.

Province of Cagayan
The methods and tools of monitoring and evaluation will make use of participatory
evaluation. This Monitoring and Evaluation approach is an evaluation method in which
representatives of project implementing agencies and other stakeholders work
together in designing, carrying out and interpreting an evaluation. In order to ensure
a fair representation of different needs, participatory evaluation emphasizes the
participation of key stakeholders, especially the intended targets.
Under this strategy, the use of new technologies like Geographic Information
System and information management systems shall be emphasized. Geotagging of all
road network development projects in the Province shall also be made obligatory.
Specific to the LRNDP, monitoring and evaluation shall be conducted jointly by
the implementing departments and the PPMC on road works and by the HRMDO on
capacity development.

Chapter X
Road Network Investment Program
A. Road Network Investments from 2008 to 2017
Strengthening the core road network requires budget allocations for rehabilitation,
maintenance and upgrading. These are funded mostly from the 20% Development Fund.
There are also other sources of fund purportedly utilized for such and these include, the
General Fund, share of the Province from the Collection of Burley and Native Tobacco Excise
Tax and the PDRRM Fund as well.
To ensure the unimpeded accessibility to economic centers, social facilities, such as

schools and health centers, public service institutions, and other urban trading and
commercial destinations within the Province, the Provincial Government of Cagayan has seen
the indispensable significance to keep the provincial roads in their best condition, hence, the
unceasing effort to ensure that funds are continually appropriated for the purpose.
Under this Plan, certain arterial road segments critical to the overall improvement of
accessibility within the Province and to nearby provinces were identified for possible
conversion to either provincial or national roads. Bridges that will connect the otherwise
disaggregated road segments of the Province were identified as well.
From 2008 to 2017, the amount spent by the Provincial Government for the
rehabilitation, maintenance and upgrading of these roads involved an aggregate amount of
P691,563,740.00. Out of which, P399,923,612.00 or 57.83% had been used for concreting,
50,640,128.00 or 7.32% for repair and rehabilitation, P210,000,000.00 or 30.37% for
maintenance and P31,000,000.00 or 4.48% for bridge, line drainage, box culvert and slope
protection.

It could be gleaned therefrom, that an average amount of more than P69,000,000.00

had been appropriated annually for road network development. It is worth mentioning that
an average amount of P3,100,000.00 per year was utilized for bridge, box culvert, line
drainage and slope protection to provide shield to these roads from gradual deterioration due
71 | Chapter X – Road Network Investment Program

Province of Cagayan
to scouring and other similar destructive causes as consequence of exposure to heavy

downpours and flooding.
Under the Philippine Rural Development Program (PRDP), in partnership with the
Department of Agriculture and World Bank, the Provincial Government of Cagayan is currently
implementing a project for the construction/rehabilitation of a 17.39 kilometers farm-to-
market road from Namabbalan Norte-Baliuag-Bical-Cabbo in Tuguegarao City with a total cost
of P200,613,846.10.
Under the same Program, Alcala East Farm-to-Market Road, with a total length of
13.35 kilometers amounting to P200,025,547.12; and about 20.254 kilometers of the Iraga,
Solana – Bayabat, Amulung Road amounting to P198,115,133.38 are being constructed.
These roads will significantly support the growing dairy industry and mango production
in the area, and agriculture in general, and will connect the farmers therein to market centers.
Under the KALSADA Program of DILG and DBM, it is expected that another 11.32
kilometers of road segments will be upgraded this year 2018, as follow:

economic drivers as detailed in Chapter VII, although not included in the above prioritization shall
also be considered as Priority Core Roads and Bridges, thus, aside from allocations from local
funds, they shall also be submitted to the Regional Development Council, Region 02 and
appropriate national line agencies for reference and programming support, as follows:

D. Summary of Proposed Road Investments, 2018-2022

Based on the Updated Provincial Development Investment Plan (PDIP), the Provincial
Government of Cagayan intends to pour P8,039,580,762.75 for road network infrastructure
development for five years spanning from 2018 to 2022 which includes internal and external
fund sources. However, compared to the overall fund requirement of the Province to meet its
road network development goal and demand, said amount is still quite meager. About 98.05%
of this will go to road improvement, 1.87% is intended for road maintenance, and about
0.08% is for capability development.
The proposed priority road investments culled from the Updated PDIP, CY 2018-2022
is shown in Table X-8 below:

Chapter XI
Plan Monitoring and Evaluation
A. Project Monitoring and Evaluation Mechanism
The formulation of the Provincial Road Network Development Plan (PRNDP) provides
greater opportunity for development in the province. The PRNDP highlights the importance of
investing in local roads and directs attention to the critical role of the Local Government Units in
improving the local road network. The importance of investing in local roads cannot be
underemphasized and the 1991 Local government Code has given the LGUs the task of improving
road service delivery.
Given the limited financial resources, the province is faced with the difficulties in
prioritizing road projects because of the high cost of such undertakings. For this reason, a sound
monitoring and evaluation strategies and frameworks should be established to maximize the use
of available resources and eventually assess how fully and how effectively a plan is being carried
out.
To carry out this function, the Province will adopt the Regional Project Monitoring and
Evaluation System (RPMES) established through Executive Order 376 dated 2 November 1989.
The system provides a scheme for monitoring and evaluating projects with the extensive and
active participation of various government agencies, and nongovernment organizations (NGOs).
The provincial Monitoring and Evaluation Strategy primarily aims to facilitate project
implementation, and devolve project facilitation, problem-solving, monitoring and evaluation in
the implementation of the Provincial Network Road Development Plan. Specifically, the aims to
achieve the following objectives:
 to provide a system for the integration, coordination and linkage of all monitoring
activities;
 to provide up-to-date information on the overall status of project implementation at
each level for planning and budget allocation, to include employment generation of
the various programs/projects expressed in man-days;
 to identify problems/issues which impede project implementation for remedial
actions;
 to provide information on lessons learned in project implementation for planning and
implementation of future similar projects;
 to assess and ascertain whether projects implemented are supportive of regional
development goals and plans as well as national development thrusts and priorities;
and
 to provide a venue for greater participation of nongovernment organizations (NGOs)
in the development planning progress.
86 | Chapter XI – Plan Monitoring and Evaluation

Province of Cagayan
Coordinative mechanism will be set up to ensure that the monitoring and evaluation
activities are coordinated in terms of information dissemination, submission of reports, monitoring
and evaluation of project implementation, feedback and problem-solving.
The operationalization of the RPMES will be undertaken by a number of units/entities

acting as coordinators, monitors, and project implementers. In the province, the coordination will
be undertaken by the Provincial Development Councils.
1. PPMC Structure/Composition
The reorganization of the Provincial Project Monitoring Committee (PPMC) will be

initiated. The Provincial Development Council (PDC) will initiate the creation of the PPMC
and has the discretion to expand its composition provided it satisfies the minimum
mandatory composition, to wit:
a. DILG Representative or Provincial Director assigned in the area

b. One Representative of NGO/PO
c. One Representative of NGO members in the Local Development Council
d. Four PMC members appointed by the Local Chief Executive from among the
nominees of the Local Development Council nominated out of the seven PMC
members
e. The Chairman will be appointed by the local chief executive from among three
nominees of the Local Development Council nominated out of the seven PMC
members.
2. PPMC Functions
The Chairman will be appointed by the Governor from among three nominees of
the Local Development Council nominated out of the seven PMC members. The PPMC is
tasked with the following duties and functions:
a. provide list and schedule of all projects to be monitored;

b. collect and process reports of implementers and NGO monitors on the status
of project implementation for the information of the development council;
c. pinpoint problems and verify information to be submitted for analysis and
actions of the development council;
d. provide feedback on the remedial actions of the development council and
follow up their implementation;
e. prepare and disseminate periodic project monitoring report on the status of
project implementation; and
f. elevate to higher level bodies problems/issues which are not resolved at their
level.

Province of Cagayan
3. PPMC Secretariat
There shall be created a provincial PPMC secretariat coming from the Monitoring
and Evaluation Division of the Provincial planning and Development Office (PPDO) who
shall be responsible in the following:
a. prepare the monitoring program to be undertaken by the PPMC during any

given fiscal year, which will include, among others, the list of projects and
schedule of implementation based on submission of implementing
department;
b. provide the Governor with information on the project to be monitored by the
local PPMCs; and
c. facilitate inter-agency, intergovernmental and field headquarters coordination,
whenever necessary.
4. Roles/Duties of Implementing Departments
The project implementers will be the provincial government of Cagayan (by

administration) or private organizations (by contract). They are required to comply the
following:
a. submit periodic reports to the monitoring committee on the status of project

implementation based on suggested reporting forms;
b. provide authorized monitors (PPMC Members) assistance in getting access to
more detailed information on project implementation (e.g., detailed work
program); and
c. implement/institute remedial measures on problems/issues identified as
suggested by the development council.
5. Monitoring and Evaluation Processes and Instruments
The monitoring and evaluation process starts with the planning, programming and
scheduling of monitoring activities. The following documents will be prepared:
a. Work and Financial Plan (WFP)

b. Monitoring Plan (MP)
c. Monitoring Work Program (MWP)
To continuously monitor the funds and physical accomplishment of the various

projects/activities under the LNRDP reporting formats will be devised or formulated to be
accomplished by the implementers and monitors. The Information Technology of the
PPDO will devise a monitoring and evaluation software to expedite and manage the
processing and repository of data and information.

Province of Cagayan
The frequency and timing of submission of reports will be on a monthly basis. This
will be reviewed and consolidated by the monitoring and evaluation division of the PPDO.
Once completed, the documents will be submitted to the PDC for information and
appropriate actions.
To effectively operationalize this strategy, regular problem-solving sessions should
be conducted following procedure stated herein:
a. PPMC will discuss the project implementation issue/problem and submit
recommendations to the PDC or its Executive Committee (ExCom) depending
on the urgency of the problem.
b. PDC or its ExCom will include a problem-solving item in its agenda to discuss
an resolve the problems/issues with the implementing agency during its
meetings. The implementer(s) of subject project(s) will be invited to attend
this meeting.
c. PDC or ExCom will refer unresolved problems to higher bodies (next level
Development Council).
d. Monitoring of the implementation of the remedial measures will be conducted
by respective PMCs.
6. Adoption of New Technologies
Add to this, latest technologies on spatial data generation and analysis like
Geographic Information System shall be adopted. Geotagging of all road network projects
shall be made obligatory to effectively supervise, validate and evaluate the road projects
in the Province. Local monitoring and evaluation processes shall also be analyzed and
studied to come up with information management systems that can automate and make
more efficient and effective the same.
