3.1. Land Classification
There are two major classifications of land, Alienable and Disposable (A&D) and Forest
Lands, both of which are considered lands of public domain. Lands which have been
declared but not needed for forest purposes are considered A&D; while those lands in
the public domain that have been classified for forest use are public forest, permanent
forest or forest reserves, timberland, grazing lands, game refuge and bird sanctuaries,
and areas which are not yet declared as A&D. A&D land is limited to lands classified as
agricultural lands and may be further classified according to the uses to which they are
devoted.
Based on the CALABARZON Region IV-A 2017 Information Statistics, Batangas

Province has a total land area of 316, 581 hectares. Table 23 below shows that 85.65%
or 271,167 hectares of which is classified as Certified Alienable and Disposable Land
and 14.35% or 45,414 hectares is Forest Land. This forest land is divided into Classified
Forest and Unclassified Forest of which 37,691 hectares or 11.91% is Classified Forest,
wherein 28,784 hectares or 9.09% is Timberland; 8,537 hectares or 2.70% is National
Parks; 0.02% or 51 hectares is Military and National Reservation and 319 hectares or
0.10% is Fish Pond. On the other hand, 7,723 hectares or 2.44% is Unclassified Forest.

3.2. Land Use and Physical Framework
3.2.1. Existing General Land Use
By definition, land use is the manner of utilization of land, including its allocation,
development and management. It basically refers to human use of land; and includes the
arrangement, activities and inputs that people undertake and bring impacts on the land
e.g. settlement, production system, and infrastructure.
The major land use categories in Batangas, include: Built-Up/Settlement Areas,

Production Areas, Protection Areas, and the Special Uses. Data for the existing land
49
uses were gathered from the Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUP) of
cities/municipalities as well as from the records of the City/Municipal Offices of Planning
and Development Coordinator, Assessor, Agriculturist and Engineer.
3.2.1.1. Built-up Settlement Areas
Areas that include cities, towns, villages, strip developments along highways,
transportation, power, and communication, facilities, and areas occupied by mills,
shopping centers, etc. are considered built-up settlements. A total of 34,527.93 hectares
or 10.94 percent comprises the built up/settlement area in the Province. Residential,
commercial, and institutional areas such as schools, churches, hospitals, cemeteries,
parks and playgrounds are under this category. Also, the areas for facilities like
dumpsites/disposal facilities as well as road networks – that allow efficient movement of
people and production commodities – are included.
3.2.1.2. Production Areas
Under the category of production areas are the lands where productive activities are
being undertaken; basically, to meet the requirements for food security and economic
growth and development. Among the land uses under this category are Industrial/Agro-
Industrial Areas, Agricultural Areas, Pasture/Grassland, Tourism, and Mineral Land.
More than 75 percent of the total land area of the Province falls under this land use
category.
3.2.1.2.1. Industrial/Agro-Industrial Areas
Industrial sites start to thrive in the Province with a total of forty (40) economic zones and
industrial parks. Fifteen (15) are operating, three (3) are proclaimed and 22 are those
whose development are in progress as per 2016 Philippine Economic Zones Authority
(PEZA) data. A total of 1,015.36 hectares is being utilized by these operating eco-zones,
mostly Manufacturing Special Economic Zones (MSEZ). The Province has a total
industrial area of 5,000.35 hectares or 1.58 percent of its total land area.
3.2.1.2.2. Agricultural Areas
Batangas Province is dominantly Agricultural, with 71.53 percent of its total land area
devoted to agricultural activities such as planting of crops, growing of fruit trees, and
raising of livestock, poultry, and fish or aquaculture production. About three percent of
the Province’s total land area is used as Pasture/Grassland. Not all cities/municipalities
in the province have identified areas under this category. This land use is mostly found in
Calatagan, Balayan, Lemery, and Agoncillo.
3.2.1.2.3. Tourism Areas
Out of the 34 cities/municipalities, 22 have identified tourism areas. A total of 2,693.07

hectares (0.85 percent) of tourism area is noted in the province. The biggest tourism
area belongs to the municipality of Laurel, followed by Nasugbu and San Juan.
3.2.1.2.4. Mineral Land
Mineral lands in the Province are found in the Municipalities of Taysan, Tuy and Rosario,
and in the Cities of Lipa and Tanauan. Total mineral area comprises 0.14 percent of the
Province’s total land area. 50
3.2.1.3. Protection Areas
Protection Areas comprise the uses of land primarily for rehabilitation, conservation and
protection purposes, and for the promotion, of ecological and life support systems. These
include the Forest Areas/Upland Areas, Water bodies, and Swamps/Marshlands totaling
to 38,798.76 hectares or 12.29 percent of the Province’s total land area.
Included in the forest lands are lands on which the vegetation is characterized by more
or less dense and extensive tree cover. It also includes lands from which trees have
been harvested and the intent is to maintain the land for tree production or land with tree
cover set aside for the protection of other resource values.
It also refers to those lands for public domain which have been subjected to land
evaluation and classification and designated for multiple uses. Majority of the cities and
municipalities in the province have forest areas. Among these Municipalities are
Nasugbu, San Juan, Lemery, Lobo, Tuy and Mabini.
Land is resources found on the surface, below, and above the ground including inland
waters. Thus, water bodies and swamps/marshlands are also listed among the land uses
in the Province. According to the combined numbers of water bodies in the municipalities
based from the CLUPs, the province has a total of 5,141.93 hectares.
Meanwhile, the Province has only 1,232.16 hectares (0.39 percent) of

swamp/marshlands found at San Nicolas, Calatagan, Batangas City, San Juan, Balayan
and Lobo.
3.2.1.4 Special Uses
Other land uses aside from the aforesaid land use categories are included into the
special uses. Among the uses included in this category are the Reclaimed Areas, Military
Reservation, and Other Uses. A total of 1,948.33 hectares (0.61 percent) falls under this
category.
The reclaimed areas are found only at Bauan while the only military reservation is
located at Fernando Airbase, Lipa City and Mataas na Kahoy. About 0.64 percent of the
total land area of the Province is being utilized distinctively. Based from the CLUPs, the
municipalities of Calatagan and Malvar declared 871.08 and 589.98 hectares,
respectively, which are being utilized for Planned Unit Development (PUD).

3.3. Mineral Resources
Minerals are natural substances usually comprising inorganic element or compound,

having an orderly internal structure and characteristics, chemical composition, crystal
form, and physical properties. Any concentration of these minerals, with a potential
economic value that can be extracted at a profit, is considered a mineral resource.
The geological setting of Batangas Province is highly indicative of the occurrence of both
metallic and non-metallic mineral deposits with very promising economic potential.
Based on the geological surveys undertaken by the Mines and Geosciences Bureau
(MGB), occurrences of metalliferrous deposits containing gold, copper, lead and zinc are
evident in Cities of Batangas and Lipa and Municipalities of Lobo, Taysan, Mabini, Ibaan,
Cuenca and Maricaban Island. Cement raw materials such as limestone, shale and silica
deposits occur in huge quantities in Calatagan, Batangas City and Taysan while
construction materials or concrete aggregates consisting of basalt, andesite, sand and
gravel are abundant in the localities of Sto. Tomas, Lipa City, Tanauan City, San Juan,
San Luis, Calaca and Balayan. Industrial mineral deposits such as clays of various
types, barite, gypsum and pumice are present in Nasugbu, Calatagan, Batangas City,
San Juan, Lobo and Mabini; while fertilizer raw materials like guano and rock phosphate
can be found in Lobo.
A number of the known mineral deposits as mentioned above have been explored in
detail and some have been exploited or commercially operated by private companies.
The technical reports submitted by these companies combined with those prepared or
rendered by geologists and mining engineers of Mines and Geosciences Bureau (MGB) 52
have been collated to arrive at the current ore reserve estimates or mineral resources
inventory as indicated on the table below. However, some of these mineral resource
inventories are merely ―geologic or inferred‖ reserves based on rough estimates or
interpolated projection and cannot be considered as ―measured or positive‖ reserves
until they are confirmed by intensive diamond drilling and/or other detailed exploration
works. There are great potentials that these current mineral resource inventories may
increase or even multiply if extensions of known ore bodies or possibly new mineralized
areas are discovered as more detailed exploration activities are undertaken by the MGB
and/or the private sector.
3.3.1 Production of Non-Metallic Materials
By definition, non-metallic materials are materials that have no metallic luster and break
easily. This are also called industrial materials and are typically some form of sediment.
Non-metallic materials are not malleable. Sand, limestone, marble, clay and salt are all
examples of non- metallic minerals. They are not recyclable because they cannot be
reshaped significantly and repurposed, unlike metals that can be melted down and easily
reshaped into a new product. An exemption is concrete because concrete is often used
from a mixture of non-metallic minerals that have been crushed or ground into small, fine
pieces.
Table 25 shows several non-metallic materials such as Aggregates, base coarse,

cement, filling materials, limestone, sand and gravel and shale. The volume of
production for Andesite/Aggregates/Basalt, Cement, Filling Materials and Sand and
Gravel are obviously lesser compared for the past two years, while base course,
limestone and shale significantly increased over the year. The total volume of non-
metallic materials for year 2017 has increased to 34,234,280.00 from 33,808,788.25 in
2016.

3.3.3 Mines and Quarries
Mining and Quarrying includes the extraction of minerals occurring naturally as solids
(coal & ores), liquids (petroleum) or gases (natural gas). Extraction can be achieved by
different methods such as underground or surface mining, well operation, seabed
mining, etc. This also includes supplementary activities aimed at preparing the crude
materials for marketing, e.g. crushing, grinding, cleaning, drying, sorting, concentration
ores, and liquefaction of natural gas and agglomeration of solid fuels.
There is a total of 3,054.6432 hectares of existing mines and quarries in the province.
Municipality of Calatagan has the largest area of mines and quarries with 2,645.8912
hectares, followed by the Municipalities of Taysan and Lobo with 336.1400 hectares and
41.2680 hectares respectively. Limestone, Shale, Tuff, Silica Sand, Aggregates/ Base
Course, Filling Materials, Sand and Gravel are the top commodities being mined and
quarried in the Province.

3.3.5 Parks, wildlife and other reservations
Wildlife conventionally refers to non-domesticated animal species that live wild in an area
without being introduced by humans. Traditionally speaking wildlife encompasses
animals like birds, fox, bison, frogs, coyotes and so on.
Wildlife can be found in all ecosystems. Deserts, forests, rain forests, plains, grasslands,
and other areas including the most developed urban sites, all have distinct forms of
wildlife. While the term in popular culture usually refers to animals that are untouched by
human factors, most scientists agree that much wildlife is affected by human activities.
Religions have often declared certain animals to be sacred, and in modern times
concern for the natural environment has provoked activists to protest the exploitation of
wildlife for human benefit or entertainment.
Table 30 shows the different wildlife stocks in Batangas. Based on the records from the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR)-Mines and Geosciences
Bureau (MGB), there are a total of 1,814 registered wildlife stocks in the province as of

3.4. Forestry
Forest is a large area of land covered with trees. But a forest is much more than just
trees. It also includes smaller plants, such as mosses, shrubs, and wildflowers. In
addition, many kinds of birds, insects, and other animals make their home in the forest.
Millions upon millions of living things that can only be seen under a microscope also live
in the forest.
3.4.1. Location of Integrated Social Forestry in Batangas
Integrated social forestry is the national program designated to maximize land

productivity and enhance ecological stability, and to improve the socio-economic
conditions of forest occupants and communities.
Table 32 below shows the lists of integrated social forestry area in Batangas devolved by
DENR. San Juan tops the list with 468 participants with an area of 847.9 hectares,
followed by Lobo with 364 participants with an area of 984.316 hectares. Rosario has 59
participants, Balayan with 21 participants and Tuy with 54 participants with a total of 966
participants and a total area of 2,069.75 hectares.

3.4.2. List of Accredited Private Forest in Batangas
Forest is a large area of land covered with trees or other woody vegetation. Forests
account for 75% of the gross primary productivity of the Earth's biosphere, and contain
80% of the Earth's plant biomass. Although a forest is usually defined by the presence of
trees, under many definitions an area completely lacking trees may still be considered a
forest if it grew trees in the past, will grow trees in the future or was legally designated as
a forest regardless of vegetation type.
There are three broad categories of forest definitions in use: administrative, land use,
and land cover. Administrative definitions are based primarily upon the legal
designations of land, and commonly bear no relationship to the vegetation growing on
the land: land that is legally designated as a forest is defined as a forest even if no trees
are growing on it. Land Use definitions are based upon the primary purpose that the land
serves. Under such a Land Use definition, cleared roads or infrastructure within an area
used for forestry, or areas within the region that have been cleared by harvesting,
disease or fire are still considered forests even if they contain no trees. Land Cover
definitions define forests based upon the type and density of vegetation growing on the
land. Such definitions typically define a forest as an area growing trees above some
threshold. These thresholds are typically the number of trees per area (density), the area
of ground under the tree canopy (canopy cover) or the section of land that is occupied by
the cross-section of tree trunks (basal area). Under such Land Cover definitions and
area of land only be defined as forest if it is growing trees. Areas that fail to meet the
Land Cover definition may be still included under while immature trees are establishing if
they are expected to meet the definition at maturity.
Forests at different latitudes form distinctly different ecozones: boreal forests near the
poles tend to consist of evergreens, while tropical forests near the equator tend to be
distinct from the temperate forests at mid-latitude. The amount of precipitation and the
elevation of the forest also affect forest composition.
Human society and forests influence each other in both positive and negative
ways. Forests provide ecosystem services to humans and serve as tourist attractions.
Forests can also impose costs, affect people's health, and interfere with tourist
enjoyment. Forests plays a key role in the ecological system as these are also the
primary producers on which all other living beings depend. In Batangas, there are a total
of 23.16 hectares of Accredited Private Forest. These are located at the 3 rd District of the
province, particularly in Talisay and Tanauan City.

3.5 Water Resources
Water is an essential element of life. Every ecosystem depends on water for survival.
There are critical links in improving water resources management, access to water
supply and sanitation, poverty reduction, hunger mitigation, improved health and
education, gender equality and environmental sustainability.
3.5.1 Mangrove Areas in Batangas
Mangroves are shrubs or small trees that grow in coastal saline or brackish water.
Mangroves are salt tolerant trees, also called halophytes, and are adapted to life in harsh
coastal conditions. They contain a complex salt filtration system and complex root
system to cope with salt water immersion and wave action. They are adapted to the low
oxygen (anoxic) conditions of waterlogged mud.
Based on the Mangrove Mapping for Verde Island Passage (VIP), there are about
1,584.17 hectares of mangrove areas in the whole province which are mostly found in
the municipality of Calatagan with 506.76 hectares mangrove area and 27.5 hectares of
its part is declared as mangrove protected area. Another municipality with a large area of
mangrove is San Juan with a total of 496 hectares.

3.5.2 Coral Reef Areas in Batangas
A coral reef is an accumulation of dead corals and other organisms with a limestone
skeleton, cemented together by some algal species and by physical processes. The reef
builds slowly towards the surface of the water, at the rate of a few millimeters per year
for massive corals, and a few centimeters per year for branching and stag horn corals.
Once the reef reaches sea level, the corals cannot survive, and the reef grows
horizontally.
Coral reefs in Batangas province which is estimated at 2,727 hectares an estimated live
coral cover area of 750 or 28% of the total reef area. Most of the coral reef areas are
mixed areas of live corals, dead corals with algae and rock which is 977 hectares of 36% 65
of the total coral reef area in the province. Overgrown areas which are either dead corals
with algae or rock have a total area of 730 hectares of 27% of the total coral reef area.
Calatagan which has the highest coral reef area in the province with a total of 2,178
hectares has the highest live coral area of 560 hectares or 75% of the total live coral
area of the province as shown in Table 35.

3.5.3 Freshwater (ground, surface)
Fresh water is naturally occurring water on Earth’s surface in ponds, lakes, rivers and
streams, and underground as groundwater in aquifers and underground streams. Fresh
water is generally characterized by having low concentrations of dissolved salts and
other total dissolved solids.
Table 36 shows the total number of fish cages located in Taal Lake is 6,000, each with
an area of 100sqm. This resulted to a total area of 600,000sqm fish pens for the entire
lake area. Meanwhile the area of freshwater bodies is 240,000sqm. As computed, the
area of fish pens as percent area of the fresh water body in Taal Lake is 25%.

3.5.4. Marine Water
Batangas, known for its pristine water area is

teeming with marine life, plenty of coral
reefs and amazing diversity of fishes makes it
a world-class scuba diving sites and tourist
attractions. But this also comes with
responsibilities that should be considered.
One of this is the protection of marine life.
Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) has been
established in several municipalities in the
province mainly for the protection and
maintenance of the coastal areas.
Anilao,Batangas (planetphilippines.com)
3.5.4.1. Marine Protected Areas in Batangas
Marine Protected Areas (MPA) is protected areas of seas, oceans, estuaries or

large lakes. MPAs restrict human activity for a conservation purpose, typically to protect
natural or cultural resources. Such marine resources are protected by local, regional,
national, or international authorities and differ substantially among and between nations.
This variation includes different limitations on development, fishing practices, fishing
seasons and catch limits, moorings and bans on removing or disrupting marine
life. Quantifying the extent to which existing reserves meet conservation objectives and
identifying gaps in coverage are vital to developing systematic protected-area networks.
MPAs have the following benefits:
 Maintaining biodiversity and providing refuges for endangered and commercial

species
 Protecting critical habitats from damage by destructive fishing practices and other
human activities and allowing them to recover
 Providing areas where fish are able to reproduce, spawn and grow to their adult
size
 Increasing fish catches (both size and quantity) in surrounding fishing grounds
 Building resilience to protect against damaging external impacts, such as climate

change
 Helping to maintain local cultures, economies, and livelihoods which are
intricately linked to the marine environment
Based on the monitoring conducted by Environment and Natural Resources and

Biodiversity Management Division, compiled last February 8, 2017, there are a total of 42
marine protected areas which are about 2,092.891 hectares throughout the Province.
San Juan, being one of the richest coastal municipality in Batangas, has the largest area
of MPA with a total of 1,310 hectares, followed by the municipalities of Calatagan,
Nasugbu and Mabini with 178.53 hectares, 113.49 hectares, and 98.37 hectares areas,
respectively. Coral and artificial reefs, mangrove and seagrass beds are the habitats
protected by the declared MPA.

3.6 Air Quality
Air quality is the state of the air around us. Good air quality refers to clean, clear,
unpolluted air. Clean air is essential to maintaining the delicate balance of life not only
just for humans, but wildlife, vegetation, water and soil. Poor air quality is a result of a
number of factors, including emissions from various sources, both natural and human-
caused. Poor air quality occurs when pollutants reach high enough concentrations to
endanger human health and the environment. Driving cars and burning woods, can have
a significant impact on air quality. It is also the quality of outdoor air in our surrounding
environment. It is typically measured near ground level, away from direct sources of
pollution.
It is the DENR’s mandate to ensure good condition of air relative to the requirement of all
biotic species. There are three (3) classifications of sources of air pollution: a) stationary
source-any building or immobile structure, facility or installation which emits or may emit
any air pollutant; b) mobile source-any vehicle/machine propelled by or through oxidation
or reduction reactions including combustion of carbon-based or other fuel, constructed
and operated principally for the conveyance of persons or the transportation of property
or goods that emit air pollutants as a reaction product; and c) area source-relatively large
areas of specific activities that generate significant amounts of air pollutants.
Under the Linis-Hangin Program, vehicles are being tested for emission. A number of
establishments/industrial firms with Air Pollution Source Equipments (APSE) are being
inspected yearly.
Also, more than 30 Private Emission Testing Centers (PETC’s) in the region are being
monitored in close coordination with the Land Transportation Office (LTO).
71
Table 39 shows the air quality monitoring of the Provincial Government Environment and
Natural Resources Office (PG-ENRO) in eight (8) stations namely: San Pascual; Brgy.
Balagtas, Batangas City; Tanauan City; Brgy. Mapulo, Taysan; Tawilisan, Taal; Lipa
City; and Sto. Tomas. On the 1st half of the year conducted on the month of February,
2017, two (2) out of eight (8) stations are below the required Total Suspended
Particulates (TSP) set by DENR which is 300 µg/cu.m. while on the 2nd half of 2017,
seven (7) out of eight (8) stations are above the DENR Standard. Mapulo,Taysan posted
the highest TSP result which is 702 µg/cu.m. and 1,894 µg/cu.m. respectively on the 1st
and 2nd half of 2016. One of the reasons why it has the highest TSP result is that it is the
location of Republic Cement and Building Materials, Inc. engaged in manufacturing,
development and sale of special and blended cement.

3.7 Waste Management
Waste management is the precise name for the collection, transportation, disposal or
recycling and monitoring of waste. This term is assigned to the material, waste material
that is produced through human being activity. This material is managed to avoid its
adverse effect over human health and environment. The waste to be managed includes
all forms; one of this is solid wastes management.
3.7.1 Solid Waste
It is the policy of the State to adopt a systematic, comprehensive and ecological solid
waste management program. It is through this policy that, Republic Act No. 9003 or the
Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000 and its implementing Rules and
Regulations, DENR Administrative Order No. 2001-34 was enacted.
The intent of the law is to ensure the protection of public health and environment. Also
through RA 9003, the Government intend to maximize the utilization of valuable
resources and encourage resources conservation and recovery by setting guidelines and
targets for solid waste avoidance and volume reduction through source reduction and
waste minimization measures, including composting, recycling, re-use, recovery, and
others, before collection, treatment and disposal in appropriate and environmentally-
sound solid waste management facilities in accordance with ecologically sustainable
development principles.
The Provincial Government of Batangas enacted Provincial Ordinance No. 007-2012

known as the Batangas Environment Code, this ordinance delineated the roles of the
Provincial Government down to the barangay on proper solid waste management. This
also regulates the use of plastic bags in the province.
The proper Solid Waste Management will be put into practice in the Provincial Capitol
Compound, and in all offices of the Provincial Government of Batangas to be led by PG-
ENRO and the General Services Office. Waste segregation at source will be strictly
implemented in all offices and buildings; the collected biodegradable wastes will be
73
composted; the collected recyclable materials will be placed in a Material Recovery

Facility built within the Capitol Compound; and special wastes will be stored also within
the MRF, thereby reducing the volume of wastes that will be disposed in Batangas City
sanitary landfill.
The establishment of Material Recovery Facilities / Waste Processing Center in every

LGU is being enforced as an effective measure to generate resources, fund and
implement projects/ activities relative to solid waste management.
At present, the laws and regulations that govern Solid Waste Management (SWM) is
through the implementation of Republic Act No. 9003, the Ecological Solid Waste
Management Act of 2000 and DENR Administrative Order No. 2001-34 the Implementing
Rules and Regulations (IRR) of RA 9003.
The ecological SWM is the systematic management of solid waste which provides for 1)
waste reduction at source; 2) segregation at source for recovery of reusable, recyclable
and compostable; 3) segregated transportation, storage, transfer, processing, treatment
and disposal of solid waste; 4) all other waste management activities which do not have
in the environment.
Table 40 shows the percentage distribution of average waste per day. Among the three
cities in the Province of Batangas, the City of Batangas generated the highest average
waste of 167,199.42 kg waste disposal per day. Meanwhile, among the 31 municipalities,
the Municipality of Nasugbu has generated the highest average waste generation with
53,357 kg of waste per day, followed by Calaca and Sto. Tomas with 34,373 kg and
34,068 kg of average waste disposal per day respectively.

3.7.1.1 Industrial and Agricultural Wastes
The disposal of untreated industrial and agricultural wastes in tributaries and coastal
marine waters is caused by inadequate treatment facilities in both groups of industries.
Waste water treatment facilities are poorly functioning, having inadequate capacity or
simply nonexistent. This inadequacy contributes to pollutant loading in river systems,
creeks and waterway that ultimately drains into the bay. This is considered serious
especially among agriculture and livestock producers operating on a backyard scale and
is geographically dispersed, making it difficult, expensive, and uneconomical to put up a
common waste treatment facility. Residues from agricultural practices (fertilizer
application and pest control), animal wastes from piggery, poultry and other livestock
production activity contribute to nutrient loading of water bodies, cause sedimentation
and contaminate the seafood. The weak implementation of regulations on industrial and
agricultural wastes by enforcement agencies encourages polluters to be less vigilant in
their waste generation and disposal activities. Oil spills and discharges from industries,
whether accidental or intentional are also seen to create risks in view of the
petrochemical and energy industries along Batangas Bay and Balayan Bay.
Industries along Batangas Bay and Balayan Bay
76
3.7.1.2 Ship and Port Wastes
Shipping activities and expansion of port facilities have generated ship and port-related
wastes that eventually are dumped in the bay waters. This is considered an issue among
the three bays, but is more intensely felt in Batangas Bay. Related problems identified
are ship collision and oil spill due to increasing vehicle traffic. Illegal discharge of wastes
from shipping vessels have also been observed such as dumping of used oil and
ballasting water from boats, ships and other sea vessels passing or docking in various
ports located in the province. Ships and vessels generate considerable quantities of
blackwater, graywater, oil bilge, ballast water, solid wastes and hazardous materials. The
port authorities of Batangas recognize that one of the factors that might have
encouraged the illegal discharging of wastes is the inadequate collection and disposal
system of the international port.
Batangas International Port static.panoramio.com
The existing system just cannot cope with the demand of the increasing vessel and
passenger traffic. There are 27 companies which deploy 68 vessels providing services in
Batangas Bay. In Tayabas Bay, irresponsible disposal of garbage have been observed
to be committed by vessels plying the bay especially the San Juan coastal route
(Resource Combines, Inc., 2002). There is also the added risk of oil and chemical spills
especially in areas where most sea vessels carrying raw materials dock and transfer
their loads through jetties. Solid wastes, industrial and agricultural wastes and ship and
port wastes compromise the integrity of surface and marine waters if they are not
managed adequately and rationally. The result of water quality monitoring done for
Batangas Bay shows that pollution status in terms of oil and grease content has
worsened significantly. This parameter was recorded at 36.2 mg/l in 1997 and increased
to 41.13 mg/l in 2004. Statistical comparison across years showed that the increase in
pollutants is significant.
77
However, despite the rapid economic development occurring in the region, water quality
has not deteriorated significantly in terms of nitrates and phosphates. Likewise,
pollution status in terms of Dissolved Oxygen (DO) had improved. In 1997, DO was
measured at an average of 6.68 mg/l and this increased to 9.93 mg/l in 2004. Balayan
and Tayabas Bays are facing the same threat of pollution if economic activities around
the area are not rationalized. Palico River in Lian and Nasugbu has exceeded the
standard for Class C water due to pollution from households and from sugar mills and
alcohol distilleries. Bambang River in Balayan is severely polluted due to the discharge
of partially treated water from sugar mills. Pamintahan River in Lipa City is heavily
polluted given the wastes coming from households, hog farms and the public market.
