Eight of them are made of reinforced

concrete while two are concrete-piped.

These have a total span of 161.50 meters,

all classified as national bridges. All of

these bridges are in good condition and

passable for all types of vehicles. Four

footbridges are identified in some

barangays namely, Camachile,

5.1.3. Public Transportation

Air-conditioned and ordinary buses are

the major inter-regional and intra-regional

modes of transportation in Orion.

Although there is no direct trip from

Manila to Orion, there is Manila-Mariveles

bus route that passes Orion via Roman

Highway. Also, Manila-Balanga bus route

serves as alternative trips in going to Orion

or Manila since Balanga is only about 8

kms. away from Orion. Trips from Manila to

Orion and vice-versa are served by air-

conditioned and ordinary buses from

early dawn till late evening. For other

origin or destination outside Metro Manila,

there are trips within Region 3 that pass

Orion. These are Tarlac – Mariveles,

Baguio – Mariveles, and Cabanatuan –

Mariveles which being served by air-

conditioned and ordinary buses.

In intra-provincial setting, there are

ordinary mini-buses and public utility

jeepneys passing Orion which can be

availed of Orion’s residents in their daily

activities. There is mini-bus route that ply

Balanga-Mariveles via Roman highway

while the jeepney route of Balanga-

Lamao passes via National Highway.

These are operating daily from morning till

nighttime. As new player in the field of

public transportation, “van-for-hires” and

“shuttle utility vans” are plying directly

from Orion to Mariveles and vice-versa.

These are air-conditioned vans, FXs,

highlanders, and other similar vehicles

which service workers from Orion to

export processing and industrial hub of

Mariveles, Bataan.

Within Orion, there are motorized tricycles

available for residents in their intra-

municipal movements. As of now there

are approximately 1500 franchise units

awarded to operators and drivers. These

tricycles ply from poblacion to barangays

of Orion in regular basis. To avoid stiff

competition between and among tricycle

drivers, tricycle units are informally

distributed to operate within designated

zones or barangays of Orion.

5.1.4. Land Transport Terminals/

Passenger Facilities

There are no formal terminals for public

transportation found within Orion. Since buses,

whether air-conditioned or ordinary, passes via

Roman Highway, bus passengers on their trips are

being picked-up or dropped-off at the

intersection of Roman Highway and collector

road leading to poblacion of Orion. However, for

public utility jeepneys, there are designated

jeepney stops found at Orion Public Market and

another one at Poblacion. These are on-street

jeepney stops. In the same manner, tricycles have

informal terminals found near the crossing of

Poblacion of Orion. These are located at

sidewalks of national road and other major roads

of Orion. Table 5.6 below presents inventory and

location of terminals (informal).

5.1.5. Port

Orion has municipal port located at barangay Puting

Buhangin, southeastern portion of Orion. The port is

being renovated and upgraded to comply with the

new program and policies of the national

government for seaports, which must include “RORO”

operations (roll-on, roll-off).

As a backgrounder, the RORO system is a network of

interconnected land and water transportation modes

which aims to link the islands of the Philippines. It

allows for land-based transportation modes to board

upon ships. Orion’s role in the network is the

connection between Manila and the Central Luzon

area (See Figure 5.7). As of this time, RORO operations

in the Orion Port has not yet been fully implemented

since the Orion port still lacks some of the necessary

facilities and supporting infrastructure. As of the

completion of this report, there have already been

talks between the municipality and national agencies on the

improvement of the infrastructure within the port area.

As of now, most of the facilities are for passenger operations. This

includes, among others, a booking/ticketing office, a passenger

waiting area, commercial stalls, vehicular parking and a covered

walkway connecting the passenger area to the ferry docking

area. There is also public transportation available in the port, which

includes tricycles and shuttles, to transport the passengers to and

from the port.

The Orion municipal port is being used as an alternative transport

for passengers in going to and coming from Metro Manila. The port

on the Metro Manila side is located in the Cultural Center of the

Philippines Complex in Manila. The sole operator in the Manila-

Batangas route, Mt. Samat Ferry liner has six trips daily from 6:30

a.m. to 5:30 p.m. It is a 180-capacity passenger vessel. Its actual

average number of passengers per trip is 100. Table 5.7 shows

PENELCO is the cooperative which distribute electricity to

municipality of Orion and some parts of Bataan. The source of

power supply comes from the TRANSCo, formerly NAPOCOR. As of

2004, there are 7,291 out of 8,735 households or 83.47 percent

being supplied by PENELCO in all barangays of Orion. Only few

sitios or households have not yet been connected due to right-of

way problems and inaccessibility. At present, PENELCO’s policy in

connecting power supply to outlying households is there must be

enough applicants, more or less 10 households so that it would be

economically viable to lay-out transmission lines in that area.

Barangays which have achieved its 100% electrification program

are Calungusan,

Balagtas, Lusungan, and

Wakas. Barangay Wawa,

Balut and Daan Bago

are below 70 percent of

the total households

connected with power

supply.

5.1.7 Irrigation

Although there is no

National Irrigation

Administration operating at Orion, there is a communal pumping

irrigation run by farmer’s cooperative at the upland barangays.

The communal irrigation system serves the 422-hectare of irrigable

land at barangays Gen. Lim, Bilolo, Acacia, Laon, Sabatan, Daan

Pare, San Vicente and Balut. However, there is an effort to

upgrade the existing irrigation system so that more agricultural

lands will be supplied.
