1. Demographic Data
a. Present Condition
Central Luzon is composed of nine provinces namely Aurora, Bataan, Bulacan, Nueva
Ecija, Pampanga (excluding Angeles City), Angeles City, Tarlac, Zam-bales(excluding
Olongapo City), Olongapo City. Of these nine provinces, Pampanga is the second most
populous next to Bulacan. However, before the eruption of Mt.Pinatubo in 1991 Pampanga
used to be the most populous province in Region III.
Table 2.1.1-A and 2.1.1-B shows a summary of the provincial populations in Re-gion III
while table 3 presents more detailed information on domestic trade, labor and employment,
business and industry, family income, and other statistics.
The Clark Special Economic Zone is situated within the boundaries of the prov-inces of
Pampanga and Tarlac with a total population of 2,226,444 and 1,243,449 respec-tively,
based on 2007 census. Among the provinces in Central Luzon, Pampanga has the highest
density with about 1,080 people per square kilometer.

Table 3-1 shows census years population and the annual growth rates in between census
years. The highest increase in population is between the census years 1948 and 1960 at
6.41% while the lowest is at 1.25% between census years 1876 and 1903. There was a
slight decrease in population, apparently due to the Mt. Pinatubo calamity and the voluntary
withdrawal of the American Military Forces from Clark Air Base, between census years
1990 and 1995, at -0.01%.

serves as passage from Mexico to Angeles City. Olongapo – Gapan Road on the other hand,
connects transport vehicles from the municipality to provinces like Bataan, Zamballes and
Nueva Ecija. The main transportation means in Mexico are jeepney and tricyc e vehicles.
Associations exist among jeepney and tricycle drivers and operators. Buses are also
available for provincial transport. A parking area in front of SM in Lagundi serves as stop-
over for buses traveling to Olongapo, Baguio, Manila, Cabanatuan and other provinces.
Communication is revolutionized by telecommunication technologies like
telephones and cellular sites. PLDT and DIGITEL are the major telephone systems which
operate in the municipality. The main office of PLDT is located in San Antonio while
DIGITEL is in Sto. Cristo. Cell sites for Service Providers like SMART, Globe and Sun
are situated in severa barangays across the municipality to provide signals for mobile
communication services. Internet services thru Digital Subscription Lines (DSL).
LOCATION
In this report, the planning area is understood to cover the whole territory of the
City of San Fernando, Pampanga covering some 6,900 hectares. It is bounded on the north
by the Highly Urbanized City of Angeles, on the east by the Municipality of Mexico, on
the south by the Municipality of San Matias and on the west by the Municipality of Bacolor.
The prevalence of external factors that may bear on the land use mix of the City makes it
imperative for the said municipalities for consideration in the analyses.
The mode of public transport in the City of San Fernando is purely road-based
consisting largely of jeepneys for primary routes, tricycles, pedicabs and kalesas for feeder
routes. Buses are available for long-distance travels. There are bus companies serving the
City inward to other destinations such as Victory Liner Inc., Genesis Transport Service,
Inc., Bataan Transit Co., Inc. (BTCI) among others. The buses load and unload passengers
in the city central terminal and in the parking area of Robinson’s Starmalls (for Victory
Liner buses) and the Mexico side parking area of SM Mall. Taxi service is not that well-
established, however, there are some groups operating independently.
The City also serves as a terminus for jeeps plying routes from the rest of Pampanga
such as Lubao-Guagua-Bacolor, Apalit, Arayat-San Juan- Mexico, Angeles, and Dau, and
from neighboring provinces such as Bataan (Balanga-Hermosa-Dinalupihan), Nueva Ecija
(Cabanatuan-Gapan-Cabiao), Tarlac (Tarlac City-Capas-Bamban).
Climate
Scientists and experts say climate change is now happening as manifested by the
increasing frequency of higher intensity climatic events worldwide. In the case of San
Fernando, resiliency to climate change and its impacts is a major concern of the local
government considering its location and large number of residents and visitors, the high
value of physical capital within its territory, and the potential impact of climate change on
regional economic development.
d.) Porac
Location
Porac is 26 kilometres (16 mi) west from the provincial capital San Fernando, south
of Angeles City and north of Floridablanca. A portion of Mount Pinatubo is in the
municipality.
Porac has a hilly to mountainous terrain in the majority of its plains. Most rivers, if not all,
are heavily silted by mudflow due to the eruption of Mount Pinatubo and succeeding lahar
flows. Tourist spots include Darabulbul Falls (nicknamed Dara Falls) in Jalung, Miyamit
Falls in Sapang Uwak, and the hot springs of Sitio Puning, accessed through Sapang Bato
in Angeles City. Babo Pangulo offers a view of Porac and Mount Negron.
POLITICAL DIVISION
Porac is politically subdivided into 29 barangays.

MICRO SITE
ANGELES CITY
Source: https://philippinescities.com
Angeles City, before it was known as such was but a small settlement led by Captain
Mayor of San Fernando, Don Angel Pantalion de Miranda. It was named as “Culiat”, which
name derived from a woody vine that was abundant in the area at that time. People who
inhabit the place were the Negrito Tribesman.
Barrio Culiat continued to be part of San Fernando for 33 years wherein a chapel,
primary school and some industries were established, like sugar mill and wine distillery,
which helped the economy of the barrio to flourish at that early time. On December 8,
1829, the barrio became a separate town from San Fernando after Don Angel paid the
necessary amount required by the law at that time for the separation of Culiat. After that,
the name of the town was changed to “El Pueblos de los Angeles” in honor of its patron
saint Holy Guardian Angels and to the name of its founder, Don Angel.
The first American government of Angles was established by General Frederick D.
Grant on January 1, 1900 and 64 yeas later from that day, Angeles City became a city.
Boundaries
Angeles City is located in the Province of Pampanga, Central Luzon Region,
Philippines. It is bounded byMabalacat City in the north, Mexico in the east, City of San
Fernando in the southeast, and Porac in the southwest. Figure 7-1 belowshows the
immediate environs of Angeles City with respect to the province of Pampanga, Central
Luzon, and the Philippines.
Municipality
In 1977, the estimated built-up area of Angeles City was 1,390.12 hectares
representing 22.36 percent of its total land area. In mid-2009 or 32 years after, this has
doubled reaching about 2,986.47 hectares which is equivalent to 48.03 percent of the city’s
total land area. This left the City with approximately 2,388 hectares of patches of
agricultural lands distributed across its territory. Note that Angeles City has an estimated
population of 170,575 and 330,059 for 1977 and 2009, respectively. If the present
population growth rate of 2.44% based on the 2000 and 2007 censuses on population
will not change, Angeles City’s population will double in 28 years or come 2035. As such,
its remaining agricultural lands may fully give way for urban expansion. Moreover,
settlement pressures on forest reserves and environmentally constrained areas will remain
strong.
Historically, Angeles City is the most important urban center in Central Luzon
complemented by the neighboring city of San Fernando and the municipality of Mabalacat.
This function is expected to be further enhanced due to the interplay of improving
infrastructure stock, growing economic base, expanding population, and rising income.
Said urbanization and development trends will pull Angeles City from all directions. These
require better planning and land use management to effectively direct and control
development. This updated comprehensive land use plan was prepared to effectively carry
out and sustain the planned development of Angeles City.
Barangays
Among the 33 barangays comprising Angeles City, barangay Balibago was the
most populous. Its population size was 9.9 percent of the total population of the city.
Malabanias came in second in terms of population size with 7.1 percent share, followed by
Cutcut with 6.6 percent, Pulung Cacutud with 5.6 percent, Cutud with 5.1 percent, and
Pampang with 5.0 percent. The rest of the barangays contributed less than 5.0 percent each.
The least populated barangay was Virgen Delos Remedios with 0.5 percent share
to the total population of the city. It was also the least populated barangay in 2000.

As of June 2009, the total built-up area of Angeles City equals to 2,986.47 hectares
(Built-up plus DMIA Complex) which account for 48.04% of the city’s total land area. Its
remaining agricultural lands sum up to 2,387.26 hectares which comprise for 38.40% of
the total area of Angeles City. The remaining area accounts for the Abacan River and
watershed cover, among others.
Does this mean, that the urban land requirements of Angeles City amounting to 948.21
hectares should all come from its remaining agricultural lands? Definitely No. As revealed
in the 2007 topographic map of NAMRIA, the Satellite Image of Angeles City from Google
Earth, and the result of the urban land use survey, there are still vacant or idle lands in the
present built-up areas that can accommodate urban expansion.

following categories:
a) Residential e) Park/Playground/Open Space
b) Commercial f) Industrial
c) Institutional g) Vacant Planned Unit

In 1977, the estimated built-up area of Angeles City was 1,390.12 hectares

not change, Angeles City’s population will double in 32 years or come 2042. As such, its
remaining agricultural lands may fully give way for urban expansion. However,the city is
determined to resist settlement pressures on forest reserves and environmentally
constrained areas.
Historically, Angeles City is the most important urban center in Central Luzon
complemented by the neighboring City of San Fernando and the Mabalacat City. This
Figure 7-2Map of Angeles City with contour lines, and a west to eastslope section
The highest elevation of Angeles City is about 440 meters above sea level located
at Sapangbato. However, the slope section shown above did not hit this contour. It started
at 340 meters above sea level, peaked at 380 meters, and slowly descended as it moved
going to the eastern border. As it moved towards the east, the elevation descended to 120
meters along Friendship Bridge, went down farther to 90 meters in the Abacan Bridge area,
fell to about 70 meters near the approach of Pandan Bridge, before it finally leveled at 60
meters below sea level along its boundary with Mexico. This shows a very defined west to
east slope or elevation gradient that generally followsthe drainageflow ofAbacan River.
Soil
Angeles City has two distinct soil types: Angeles Coarse Sand and Angeles Fine
Sand. These soils are well drained and friable which make them suitable both for
settlements development and agriculture. Sandy soils being porous have high water
absorption capacity and easily drains after a heavy downpour. The estimated compositionof
fine sand, silt and clay for the different soil types of Angeles City is found in Table 7-1.
In addition to organic matter or humus, a soil consists of three particles: clay, silt,
and sand. Clay particles have an estimated size at the maximum of 0.002 millimeters
across. The size of silt ranged from 0.002 – 0.05 millimeters. Sand, on the other hand, has
a width ranging from 0.05 - 2.00 millimeter. Angeles Coarse Sand is made up of 94.5%
sand, 2% silt, and 3.5% clay. On the other hand, Angeles Fine Sand is composed of 79.5%
sand, 14% silt, and 5.5% clay.
These textural descriptions of the top soils found in Angeles City indicate that the
area drains well internally. Yet the city experiences localized flooding during rainy season
and this is caused by the new land cover –concrete pavement. As lands are being covered
by concrete, rainwater can no longer percolate into the sandy soil but goes to the storm
drainage canals, which unfortunately have limited capacities. Some recommendations and
doable solutions to this concern are found in the environmental management chapter of this
document. In brief though, the city must implement water-sensitive urban development
designs that will not hamper the penetration of rainwater into the soil, such as the use of
permeable paving blocks, construction of infiltration ponds and canals, among others.
Hydrography
As previously discussed, the general slope direction of Angeles City follows the
west to east orientation. The city’s main drainage outlet is the Abacan River (the other
rivers and water channels found in Angeles City are shown in Figure 7-6). The interaction
of slope, sandy soil, and presence of numerous creeks and a relatively large river, make
Angeles City well drained and flood-free. However, due to existing land uses and human
activities, localized flooding is being experienced in some parts of the city during the rainy
season.
Being highly urbanized, most of its lands in the built-up areas are already paved.
Paved surfaces cannot absorb rain water and therefore deter infiltration into the soil no
matter how sandy it is. Storm drainage canals constructed several years back now easily
overflow because they have already reached their peak flood capacity. These inherent
weaknesses are amplified by other factors which include but not limited to: i) encroachment
of road right-of-way (illegal and formal settlers), ii) siltation of water channels, iii)
indiscriminate disposal of garbage, and to certain extent,iv) unplannedand unregulated
property development.
Natural Hazards
In a vulnerability assessment study of Pampanga in 2012, Angeles was found to
be susceptible to several natural hazards, including typhoons, rain-induced landslides,
and volcanic and seismic activity.
Due to its topography provided by the Abacan River and various creeks evenly
distributed around the city, Angeles is less prone to flooding.
The city’s built areas, however, are fully paved; and the capacity of existing
drainage and flood-water canals is no longer sufficient to accommodate peak flooding.
In September 2014, the Angeles City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management
Office conducted a Barangay Hazard Mapping and Risk Assessment which identified 15
barangays located along the Abacan River as susceptible to flooding during rainy
seasons.
The river and creeks in Angeles are susceptible to erosion and riverbank failure
due to the absence of slope protection and river training works.
Climate
Angeles City has a Type I climate based on the Modified Corona System of
Climate Classification (Figure 7-3). This type has two (2) pronounced seasons, rainy
season from May to November. In 2016, the maximum rain period is from May to
October with the heaviest rainfall registering in the month of August at 514.30 mm. The
dry season starts on December to April with March registering the least rainfall at 0.50
mm. The average hottest temperature was 29.90C registered in the month of April and
May.
The principal wind regimes affecting the area are the northeast wind flow from
January and February, and the southwest wind flow from June to September. The annual
prevailing wind in the area is southwesterly. In 2016, there is no direct hit of typhoon for
Angeles City. But the city was affected by three (3) tropical cyclones which were
Typhoons Karen and Lain in October and Tropical Storm Nina in December.

Governance is viewed as the means for providing the common good. It includes the
process by which those in authority are selected, monitored and replaced, the capacity of
the government to effectively manage its resources and implement sound policies, and the
respect of citizens and the state for the institutions that govern economic and social
interactions.
In this context, governance is “good” when it allocates and manages resources to
respond to the collective problem. There is good governance if every centavo is spent by
the state with full accountability and transparency to efficiently provide public goods of
necessary quality to its citizens. It should also promote gender equality, sustain the
environment, enable citizens to exercise personal freedoms, and provide tools to reduce
poverty, deprivation, fear and violence.
Public governance in the Philippines at the local level is governed by the Local
Government Code of 1991 (R.A. 7160). The Code provides for the powers, functions, and
composition of LGUs necessary for the coordination and delivery of public goods and
services.
As in any LGU, the city in particular, the operation and governance in Angeles City
is led by the city mayor assisted by the city vice-mayor, the Sangguniang Panlungsod, and
the various executive departments. The Code mandates the city mayor to exercise the
powers and functions provided therein for the efficient, effective and economical
governance of the city to provide for its inhabitants’ general welfare.
On the other hand, the city vice-mayor together with the Sangguniang Panlungsod
form the legislative body of the city with the mandate to enact ordinances, approve
resolutions and appropriate funds for the general welfare of the city and its inhabitants as
stated in Sec. 16 and Sec.22 of the Code.
city veterinarian, city social welfare and development officer, and a city general services
officer.
The Code, however, gives the city mayor the option to appoint a city architect, a
city information officer, a city agriculturist, a city population officer, a city environment
and natural resources officer, and a city cooperative officer as he deems necessary. It also
gives the Sangguniang Panlungsod the authority to maintain existing offices not in the
aforesaid list, create other offices as may be necessary to carry out the purposes of the city
government and consolidate the functions of any office with those of another in the interest
of efficiency and economy.
The Executive is under the leadership of the President, while the Legislative has two
chambers—the Senate, which is the upper chamber and the House of Representatives as
the lower chamber. The Judicial power is vested in the courts with the Supreme Court of
the Philippines as the highest judicial body.
In the local level, on the other hand, the executive branch of the city government is
headed by the city mayor in the person of the Honorable Edgardo D. Pamintuan, together
with the following city government departments and office heads, as shown in Table 2-1.

Social Services
Housing
The image of Angeles City as a place of economic opportunities (for employment,
business, etc.) has resulted to manifold of effects, both positive and negative. To-date, there
are more than a hundred subdivisions known in the city (see Table 3-9) and many more are
expected to be developed in the future. These subdivisions range from the socialized class
to the exclusive or first class that would satisfy even picky property owners to be.
The potentials the city has resulted to many land developers to invest in commercial
and residential development leading to the scarcity of available land for both uses. Such
situation has pushed land cost to soaring levels making it difficult for our ordinary working
man to reach. Thus, many are forced to make do with make-shift houses built on, more
often than not, hazardous areas like riverbanks or flood-prone areas, near railway tracks,
etc.
The problem on informal settlers has been a continuing challenge to the city
government. The national government has done its part in giving decent housing to these
people particularly those affected by the Mt. Pinatubo disaster and those displaced by
national projects like the proposed North Rail Project.

4) Sports and Recreational Facilities, 5) Shopping, 6) Customs and Tradition, 7) Special
Event, 8) Health and Wellness, and 9) Others. It is really fortunate that Angeles City has

attractions that can draw tourists. The Sibol and Puning Hot Spring, all in Barangay
Sapangbato, are worth visiting. With other types of tourist attractions, it has a galore of
them. All tourists, regardless of age and preference, will surely find something of interest
to them in the city. In addition to these tourists’ attractions the City initiated the
construction and development of people’s parks. To date, there are 6 of these parks

tilapia production in 2014 and 2015 are still the same. The top producing barangay is Sto.
Domingo (8,000 kgs.) and the smallest volume of production is Brgy. Margot (250 Kgs.)

barangay by providing it with an aqua tank with aerator. This kind of facility provides
better oxygenation to the fish so that the fish remain fresh when brought to the market.

Case Study # 2
AUFMC formally opened on May 25, 1990. The construction of the first building was
made possible through the Hospital Loan Program of the Philippine Social Security
System. The initial acquisition of hospital equipment was financed by the Development
Bank of the Philippines and additional equipment, furniture and supplies were donated by
hospitals in California, USA.
AUFMC also won a bid to acquire the entire St. Anthony’s Family Medical Center in
Milwaukee, Wisconsin, through the intervention of Cardinal Jaime Sin, Archbishop of
Manila and the Archbishop of Milwaukee.
RECOMMENDATION
Since the project is a health care facility, it deals more on the physical well-being
of the people. It is also concerned with their mental and emotional health so in designing
the structures, local design should be incorporated in the proposed project to speed up the
recovery process of the patients and can even improve the health of the other users of the
hospital.
For instance, the use of healing colours in the development will help the patients
feel at ease, relieved and less stressed because these colours can contribute to their faster
recovery and it can also affect their moods and behaviour in a good way. Landscaped
gardens and other greeneries also contribute to the better design of the building which has
good effects on the well-being of the patients and other users of the hospital.
