CITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IN THE PHILIPPINES: AN ENABLING PLATFORM FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE AND IMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY
The CDS3 Project is a technical assistance grant funded by Cities Alliance and
supported by the Asian Development Bank, Japan International Cooperation
Agency, UN-Habitat, and the World Bank. The CDS project was developed
in response to the need to introduce an integrated, comprehensive, and
participatory approach to urban management. Founded on the principles
of livability, bankability, competitiveness and good governance, the CDS
process guides the cities in the preparation of comprehensive, long-
term development strategies, where the city government involves local
stakeholders in the entire strategic planning process-assessment, visioning,
strategy formulation and project prioritization and capital investment
planning-through a series of consultations.
The World Bank implemented the pilot phase in the 1999 with 7 cities.
Since then, the League of Cities of the Philippines, carried out 2 succeeding
phases, which expanded the program to 58 cities in all. In 2001, the Up-
scaling Poverty Focused City Development Strategies (CDS2) covered
31 new cities. In 2005, the project CDS in the Philippines: An Enabling
Platform for Good Governance and Improving Service Delivery (CDS3)
added 15 new cities to the roster of CDS cities in the Philippines. Under
the preparation grant for the City Development and Investment Project,
the League also carried out CDS for 5 new cities. As of 2008, 64 of 120 cities
have participated in the CDS program, including 3 cities assisted by ADB
under the Cities without Slums Project (Caloocan, Quezon and Taguig),
and the 3 cities that participated in the Local Environmental Planning and
Management Project of the UNDP (Lipa, Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran).

PREFACE
The City of Tanauan is grateful for being part of the City Development
Strategy (CDS) project. Our team in the city government has greatly
benefited from participating in its activities, trainings and workshops as
well as from the support we received from its group of consultants.
The city’s participation in the CDS process has enabled the city’s
policymakers and stakeholders to jointly develop a common short and
long term vision as well as in identifying social, economic, environmental,
urban and governance issues based on the present indicators of the city.
Multi-sector participation is not new to the City and the processes of
CDS have enhanced it and help elevate the collaboration of our leaders
and citizens to a new level. We do hope that more and more cities in the
Philippines will benefit from this project.
Hon. Sonia T. Aquino
City Mayor

INTRODUCTION
Tanauan is located on the northeastern part of Batangas province. It
is bounded on the north by the Province of Laguna, northwest by the
Municipality of Malvar, southwest by the shores of Taal Lake, and in the
east by the Municipality of Santo Tomas.
The City is composed of 48 barangays, 7 of which are in the Poblacion, with
a total land area of 107 Km2. The Poblacion is located on the southeastern
border of the city and is traversed by the Pres. J. P. Laurel Highway linking
Tanauan to Manila on the north for about 68 kilometers and to Batangas
City on the south for about 45 kilometers.
In 1996, Tanauan became a first class municipality and after five years
became a city. By virtue of republic Act 9005, which was signed into law
by President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo on February 2, 2001 and through a
plebiscite held on March 10, 2001, the proposed city hood was duly ratified
and approved.
Tanaueños have displayed characteristics of personal independence
and nationalism since early history. The town or city is called the due to
its contribution to the revolutionary movement of its sons Apolinario
Mabini, the brains of Katipunan, and later by the great statesman
Pres. Jose P. Laurel .

SITUATION ANALYSIS
LIVABILITY
The City of Tanauan has a population of 117,539 as of 2000, with an
annual growth rate of 2.97%. Seventy-seven percent (77%) of the 21,912
household are homeowners, while twenty-three percent (23%) are not.
Out of the 23%, 3% are informal settlers while 7% are occupying their
residences free with consent of the owners. Of the total informal settlers,
2,062 families are living along the riverbanks and railroads tracks.
Ninety five percent (95%) of household have access to water supply and
electricity while eighty five percent (85%) have access to toilet facilities.
In the public elementary school, the teacher-student ratio is 1:36 while
the classroom-student ratio is 1:34. In the public secondary school, the
teacher-student ratio is 1:45 while the classroom-student ratio is 1:56.
The enrollment participation rate in the elementary, high school and
colleges is 91%, 81% and 11%, respectively. The cohort survival rates for
the elementary and high school are 77% and 85%, respectively. Almost all
public elementary and secondary schools do not have basic facilities like
library, laboratory, computers, playground and clinic.
The general medical consultation rate of Tanauan is 420 for every 1,000
population and the hospitalization rate is 34 hospitalizations by every
1,000 population. The leading causes of morbidity are acute respiratory
tract infection, diarrhea and hypertension while the top causes of mortality
are heart disease, pneumonia and malignant neoplasm. The city extends
its health services through the 200 Barangay Health Workers, 48 Barangay
Nutrition Scholars and 28 rural Health Midwives. There is a 25-bedroom
government provincial hospital, J.P. Laurel Memorial Hospital located
in Barangay Santor and 5 private hospitals with a total capacity of 207
bedrooms.
Segregation at source is not yet in effect in Tanauan City. These solid waste
generated in the urban barangays are collected, transported and disposed
by a private hauling contractor while rural barangays take care of their own
solid waste. The average daily volume of the urban barangays is 30 tons
with 47% household, 23% industrial, 12% market, 10% commercial, 3%
hospital and 5% others. The solid waste in the rural barangays is disposed
by burning, 47% and placed in open pit, 14%. The liquid waste in the city is
disposed through the open canal.
The total demand for policemen in Tanauan is 254, but with only 41 enlisted
policemen, the city needs 213 additional policemen. Every barangay has
at least 20 barangay tanods who act as peace keepers in their respective
barangays. The city has maintained 51 Traffic Management Officer to
maintain the smooth traffic flow in the city and 96 Civil Security Unit to act
as security guards in the public market. The city started the installation of
streetlights all over the city as a deterrent to crime on the public area.
COMPETITIVENESS
All of the roads in the city are paved with cement or asphalt. The open
canal road system poses a problem because it virtually reduces the width
of the road right-of-way, increases water surface run-off during heavy
rain and hastens the road deterioration. The challenge is to connect the
radial roads to shorten the distance of travel from one barangay cluster to
another without the need to return to the urban center.
The Batangas Electric Company (BATELEC II) is the franchise distributor
of Tanauan power supply coming from the National Transmission
Corporation. Ninety four (94%) of the population is served by electricity
with the remaining using kerosene and candle.
Tanauan is a major producer of fruits and vegetables with 1,062 and 1,030
hectares planted to these, respectively. It is also a major producer of poultry
products including the tasty native chicken and Batangas beef known in
the country for its quality. It is also recognized as a trading center for
vegetables and fruits and livestock coming from Southern Tagalog and
Bicol region, and fresh water fish from Taal Lake. The Tanauan auction
market is the second biggest in Batangas next to Padre Garcia, the biggest
in the country.

The northeast portion of Taal Lake encompasses to 6 barangays of
Tanauan. Taal Lake has an area of 26,368 hectares, shoreline of 38 km. with
a sanctuary area of 1,289 hectares. While the shores of Taal Lake is shared
by 11 towns and cities, the resources of Taal Lake is accessible to the most
aggressive lakeshore settlement.
Tanauan has 56,844 gainfully employed workers, which consist of
52.06% of the whole population of the city. Likewise, the city has a strong
entrepreneurial group of self-employed persons representing 37% (32,526)
of gainfully employed workers. Tanauan has its 10% share of its population
working and living abroad as Overseas Filipino Workers.
The tourism industry in Tanauan is very limited with only the Mabini
and Laurel shrines to visit. However, Belle Corporation, the developer of
Tagaytay Highlands and Tagaytay Midland and a major player in the resort
industry has heavily invested in Tanauan. Its Tanauan Lakeland project is
complete with golf course, hotels, conference center, spas, marine and high-
end housing. Puerto Atalaya, a 15-hectare subdivision resort development
cum boat and country club is pioneering in the development of tourism in
the shores of Taal Lake.
BANKABILITY
The City of Tanauan has been experiencing steady growth in revenue since
its creation as a city with total revenue increasing from P248M in 2002 to
P363M in 2006. Tanauan City therefore qualifies as a first class city. The
revenue contribution from IrA has consistently been going down from
64% in 2002 to 53% in 2006, indicative of the city’s capacity to generate
its revenue internally from business taxes, economic enterprises and real
property taxes. The potential for continuous increase in income maybe
generated largely from efficient collection in business, property and
economic enterprises.
GOOD GOVERNANCE
The City Development Council and City School Board have private sector
representation who are not only competent but also active participants
in the preparation of the development fund and special education funds
budgets. The private sector is likewise represented in the Bids and Awards
Committee as observers, as well as appointed consultants whose estimates
are used as the basis for the maximum bid price. Their participation has also
created the Infrastructure Inspection Committee consisting of competent
professional consultants to act as program manager to assure compliance
of contractors to plans and specifications at all stage of the construction.
The main challenge of cultivating a sense of integrity and honesty from
the elected officials down to the government employees is a continuing
challenge which the city government is addressing time and again.
VISION & CITY BRAND
The City of Tanauan continues to pride itself as the “THE STAr OF
CALABArZON.” It’s vision for the next ten years is:
“Tanauan City, the Star of Calabarzon in sustainable agricultural,
industrial, commercial, and tourism development; people
empowerment and well-being; and good governance.”
In support of this vision, the City’s mission states:
“Tanauan City vigorously pursues sustainable agricultural, industrial,
commercial, and tourism development; attracts people and
capital through world-class infrastructures, quality environment,
and progressive policies; empowers its people for livelihood, civic
responsibility, and values enhancement; and promotes citizens’ well-
being through affordable quality education, housing, health, and
other social services; under a regime of good governance.”
Strategies
1. Prepare a road map for the growth and development of Tanauan in the
21st century through a master city plan covering all sectors and areas
of the city. The output of a master city plan is a detailed sectoral and
spatial city plan complete with land use plan and zoning ordinance.
