Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City

1.4 PHYSICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES 1.4.1 Transportation Network

Makati is a major traffic generator for the greater Metropolitan Manila Area because it is the primary Central Business District of the country. The City attracts a large amount of vehicle traffic due to its relatively large resident population and its predominantly service-oriented economy. Thus, the City regulates the in-bound and out-bound traffic during the morning and afternoon peak hours respectively. Mobility and accessibility, is one (1) of Makati’s most important requirements. However, continuing population growth, economic development, and corresponding increases in vehicular trips that are internally generated or passing through the City have constrained regional accessibility and local circulation. It is, therefore, a great concern that any further development in the City must be sustainable in terms of its traffic-carrying capacity, or programs are identified to mitigate potential severe congestion.

Road Network System The City’s road network is part of a system of circumferential and radial roads of Metro Manila (Figure 3). Traffic congestion within Makati is compounded by the fact that major expressways exist in north and south of Metro Manila but they are not interconnected. As a result, north and south through traffic is fed to major roads that are at the same time the major gateways to Makati. These gateways are Roxas Boulevard, Osmeña Highway, EDSA, and C5. Among these roads, EDSA is the busiest with 170,000 vehicles per day along the stretch from Guadalupe Bridge to Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. Next is C5 with 136,000 vehicles per day within the vicinity of Kalayaan Avenue and Fort Bonifacio. Osmeña Highway has 115,000 vehicles per day within the Don Bosco area, while Roxas Boulevard has 75,000 vehicles per day within the segment south of Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. Several projects were in place to improve gateways capacity to Makati City. These include the EDSA interchanges (Sen. Gil Puyat-EDSA northbound interchange, Ayala Avenue-EDSA northbound interchange, and, EDSA-Ayala-Pasay Road Interchange) and the Metro Manila Skyway (Don Bosco slip ramps, Pasay Road-Amorsolo ramps, and Sen. Gil Puyat Ave Ramps). Feeder roads to the City are J.P. Rizal Avenue, Kalayaan Avenue, Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Ayala Avenue, and Chino Roces Avenue. The roads combined with 435 kilometers of Makati roads (distributed among its 1,151 streets) provide travel space for both Makati and external traffic.

Traffic Volume and Demand Based on 2011 estimates, Makati generates 594,872 vehicle trips daily equivalent to about 13% of the 4.5 million Metro Manila vehicle trips. The major destinations of Makati City internal traffic reckoned from Barangay Poblacion are the Makati CBD and clusters of Barangays in Northwest and Northeast. Eleven percent of internal traffic crosses Epifanio Delos Santos Avenue (EDSA) making this a major traffic issue considering that EDSA is a 10-lane highway with commuter rail line at the center. For regional distribution of external traffic, 62% is northbound (including City of Manila), 25% is southbound (including Pasay City), and 13% is eastbound (Taguig, Pateros, Marikina, and eastern province of Rizal)

In terms of vehicle composition, of the total traffic generated by the City, 55% is car; 25% jeepneys; 6% buses; and, 14% trucks or goods vehicles. Jeepneys and buses are transit vehicles and they have fixed routes. Car travel is being managed through Number Coding scheme. This works in a manner where vehicles with plate numbers end in one (1) or two (2) are barred from city streets from seven (7) in the morning to seven (7) in the evening on Mondays, Three (3) and four (4) on Tuesdays, and so on. Truck traffic is also managed by way of truck ban. On major roads, truck ban extends from seven (7) to ten (10) in the morning and four (4) to seven (7) in the evening. Transit Network The transit systems in the City are road-based (jeepneys and buses) and rail-based (rail). For road-based transit, jeepneys are taken mainly for local circulation while buses, with the exception of Fort Bus, are regional in scope and service. Rail-based transit lines that serve Makati are all part of the regional system. This includes the LRT 1, MRT 3, and the PNR. (Figure 4) Rail Transit The Philippine National Railways (PNR), is a railway company owned by the Philippine Government that operates a commuter line service in Metro Manila and another line to the Bicol Region. PNR restored its daily Manila-Naga intercity commuter service to the Bicol Region, called the Bicol Express, in 2011. The PNR stations that service the City are located along Osmeña Highway with stations at Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Pasay Road, EDSA, and Nichols. In 2010, PNR carries 8,000 passengers daily through its commuter line service.

Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT1) originally operates from Taft Avenue to Monumento with 18 stations. In October 2010, its north extension project began commercial operations up to Roosevelt with two (2) additional stations. Soon, LRT 1 will connect with the EDSA MRT 3 at North Avenue. In 2011, LRT 1 has an average total daily passenger boarding of 435,121 with an average fare of 14 pesos. The Sen. Gil Puyat Station of LRT 1 directly serves


Makati commuters. In 2011, this station served about 6,000 commuters for one (1) peak hour. Mass Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3) is also known as EDSA MRT because it runs almost the entire stretch of EDSA. This is thus far the most important rail system that serves Makati since four of its stations are located inside the City. With estimated peak-hour passenger volume in 2011, these stations include Guadalupe (5,463 passengers); Sen. Gil Puyat (3,499 passengers); Ayala (6,247 passengers) and, Magallanes (5,130 passengers). For its entire alignment, MRT 3 has 13 stations and the average daily passenger boarding is about 427,000 in 2011. Majority of MRT 3 commuters are mostly employees. Light Rail Transit 2 (or LRT 2) has no direct impact on Makati Commuters except that it links with MRT 3 at Cubao Station and LR1 at Bambang Station (Recto). LRT 2 runs east-west direction, with eleven stations. LRT 2 is under capacity with only 177,000 average daily passengers boarding. According to surveys, LRT 2 commuters are majority students. Water Transport The water-based transportation that used to serve commuters through Pasig River is the Pasig River Ferry Service. The Pasig River Ferry Service has fourteen stations with two (2) stations located in Makati – the Valenzuela Station in Barangay Valenzuela and the Guadalupe Station in Barangay Guadalupe Nuevo. When it was still operational under SCC Nautical Transport Services Inc. (NTSI), its route was from Barangay Pinagbuhatan in Pasig City to Intramuros in Manila and vice versa. The boats have maximum capacity of 150 passengers, but the actual demand is much lower with only less than 2,000 passengers per day. During its run from 2007 to 2011, the boats ran at an average of 19 kilometers per hour (10 knots). (Figure 5). Other than the Pasig River Ferry System, informal boat system exists called “Tawiran” using a traditional boat to cross the Pasig River going to and from the adjacent City of Mandaluyong.

Air Transport Makati is very accessible to the commercial airports of Metro Manila. The usual route of EDSA-Tramo to the airport terminal is only about six (6) kilometers. Accessibility of Makati City to the airport was further enhanced with the opening of the NAIA Expressway Phase 1 (Figure 6). This is basically a set of ramps from of Skyway to Sales Avenue fronting NAIA Terminal 3. Helicopter service from most of the city’s hotels is also available as chartered service while top companies have their private helicopters for limited services.


Traffic Demand Management (TDM) Traffic demand management measures in Makati are aimed at providing rational traffic operations by increasing mobility. The TDMs are in the form of one-way street system and signalization. To encourage walking, the Central Business District of Makati also embarked on the construction of a pedestrian walkways network consisting of elevated, at-grade pedestrian-protected walkways (Figure 7).

1.4.2 Social Services Facilities, Utilities and Amenities

Health The good health status of the Makati can be attributed to its comprehensive health packages from womb to tomb which belongs to the City’s top priorities every year. For 2011, Makati allocated Php1.491B or 18.1% of the total expenditures. The effort of the City in making Makati a healthy city to live and work has gained recognition not only in the country but also abroad. Indeed, the Makati Health Program (MHP), one of breakthroughs on the City’s health development which was emulated by other local government units, has received its first international recognition from Dubai International Award for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment. The remarkable improvement of the City health statistics, as shown by the different health indicators, is due to its regular preventive and curative program done by different departments/offices. Each office works hand in hand to achieve the City Health sectoral mission that is to “maintain the Makati citizenry in an optimum state of wellness thru a health care system that is client-sensitive and financially sustainable that leverages and networks with private sector and other public agencies.” Dedicated to optimizing the health and well-being of its residents, the City continuously maintains a comprehensive health care program through its wide network of health facilities and personnel, as well as a health financing scheme that provides solutions to the perennial health issues related to access, quality, and cost of healthcare. A wide array of health programs and services are being provided by the City’s four (4) departments: Makati Health Department, Ospital ng Makati, Makati Veterinary Services Office, and Makati Health Program Office. Vital Health Indicators Makati’s Crude Birth Rate (CBR) has been on a decreasing trend over the last six (6) years. Gradual decrease in CBR has been noted from 2006 to 2007 and from 2008 to 2011. But between 2007 and 2008, decline was quite sharp at 31.2 to 22.33 per 1000 population. This declining trend can probably be due to increased contraceptive prevalence rate, from 27.0% in 2007 to 32.5% in 2009. Crude Death Rate displayed a fluctuating trend over the last five years. From 2006 and 2007, a slight increase was noted from 6.5 to 6.8 per 1000 population. However, it went down to 5.0 per 1000 population in 2008, but slightly went up to 5.3 and 5.5 per 1000 population in 2009 and 2010, respectively. In 2011, as compared with the figure in 2010, the rate decreased by only 0.14 point.


Maternal Mortality Rate was on a downward trend from 0.32 in 2007 to 0.27 per 1000 live births in 2009. The decline was due to the early detection of complication of pregnancy, accessible back up hospital, and prompt and efficient system for risk cases. However, an increase was noted in 2011 at 1.1 per 1000 live births. A generally increasing trend was observed in the City’s Infant Mortality Rate from 2006-2011. Data from 2006 to 2008 showed an increasing trend from 7.7 to 10.8 per 1000 live births. It slightly declined to 10.6 per 1000 live births in 2009 but moved up to 11.3 per 1000 live births in 2010 and to 11.7 in 2011. The increasing trend in Infant Mortality Rate in 2008 was due mainly to the upsurge of sepsis cases in Ospital ng Makati. Corrective measures, however, have been undertaken including intensification of breastfeeding advocacy and implementation of infection prevention and control measures. Nevertheless, Infant and Under-five Mortality Rates of Makati are lower compared to the 2006 national averages of 24 and 32 per 1000 live births. The Maternal Mortality Rate of Makati at 0.39 per 1000 live births was likewise lower than the 2006 national rate of 138 per 100,000 live births (or 1.38 per 1000 live births). Even then, such rate in maternal deaths should be addressed and further reduced given the existing modern facilities and services of the City. Malnutrition Prevalence Rate showed a decreasing trend over the 5-year period, thus, an indication of success in providing the residents the right approach and strategies in combating malnutrition among pre-schoolers.

Source: Makati Health Department Nutrition Table 11 shows the malnutrition prevalence rate of the City among children ages 0-6 years old. Data shows that a very satisfactory nutritional status among pre-schoolers in Makati. The figures in the table below reveal that pre-school aged children whose weight is within the normal range comprised 93.2% to 97.2% during the 6-year period. No wonder Makati is one of the cities with the lowest malnutrition prevalence and has been consistently cited as one of the healthiest cities in the country.


Furthermore, the percentage of overweight and underweight children was very low compared to the national figure, and such rate seemed to continuously decrease. Data further reveals that there were more overweight than underweight children. Efforts to reduce the number of overweight children should be done through monitoring, counseling, information and education campaign on the identified overweight children. Activities conducted to improve the nutritional status of children included monthly monitoring of identified underweight and overweight pre-schoolers, micronutrient supplementation, food assistance, cooking demonstration, promotion and utilization of iodized salt and fortified foods, home and community food production, income generating projects and nutrition education. These interventions helped reduce the City’s malnutrition prevalence. This current trend in nutritional status showed that the efforts of the City on the implementation of nutrition programs in coordination with all its barangays and the entire social development sector have remarkable effects in reducing malnutrition prevalence among pre-schoolers.

Makati Health Plus (MHP) Program The City has several programs and projects intended for the residents. The focus is not only towards development of the City but also the improvement of the welfare of residents and people who primarily render services for the development of Makati. One of the programs of the City is the Makati Health Plus Program whereby residents are given color-coded cards that give them discounts on hospital bills and consultation fees. Availing of this program reduces the patients’ burden of paying their hospital bills. The Makati Health Program Office is the overall in-charge of the program operations. As of 2011, the City has a total of 211,118 program beneficiaries. Of this total, more members are registered as MHP 1 or with yellow card, which entitles beneficiaries to 100% discount for bills amounting P5,000 or less, or pay only P200 for bills above to P5,000. The City Government Employees are automatically entitled to yellow cards. Low-income households and individuals


including senior citizens belong to MHP 1 or yellow card bearers. The MHP guidelines, however, on patient entitlements on MHP need to be reviewed and revised accordingly.

Veterinary Services Rabies prevention and control, stray animal operations and the quality control of meat, poultry and fish products are some of the major activities handled by the Veterinary Services Office. Makati has a dog impounding facility for strays and its Responsible Pet Ownership program may have contributed to the decrease in number of impounded stray dogs. Meanwhile, of the total 19,252 dog population in 2011, only about half were registered and immunized. Coverage of dog immunization reached 94% of total registered dogs. As a result, no death due to rabies exposure was reported within the period from 2007 to 2011, except for 2 cases in 2009.


Public Health Personnel Table 14 shows the health manpower of the Makati Health Department (MHD). In 2011, MHD had a total of 567 health personnel, composed of physicians, dentists, nurses, midwives, sanitary inspectors, medical technologist, nutritionist, barangay health workers and barangay nutrition scholars. Based on the national standard population to health personnel ratio, MHD lacks 13 sanitary inspectors, seven (7) nutritionist, and 16 barangay nutrition scholars.

Education, Culture and the Arts

Education is a basic constitutional right as stipulated in Article 1, Section 17 and Article 14, Sections 1-4 of the 1987 Constitution. Furthermore, Section 1 of the Republic Act 9155 states the policy of the State “to protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality basic education accessible to all“ and that “such education includes alternative learning system for out-of-school youth and adult learners”. Given its thrust of empowering its constituents and improving their capacity to engage in economic activities, the Makati City Government continuously provides and improves public education from pre-school to college. Provision of quality education extends to the out-of-school youths, undergraduate and unemployed adults, and the physically and mentally handicapped residents of the City. On arts and culture, the City has a variety of cultural resources for its residents and visitors to explore, thus the continued preservation efforts to ensure that the historic structures remain intact and other intangible cultural assets preserved and enhanced.

Education As a tool for congruent economic and social development of the City, the level and quality of education accessed by its residents should be attuned with the demands of both the local and foreign business communities. Furthermore, future impacts on the public school system must be monitored as school-age population grows in order to determine the capacity of existing educational facilities and manpower to accommodate such growth. Literacy Rate Literacy rate is the percentage of the population who are able to read and write. Makati has a high literacy rate of 98.93% as of 2000, slightly higher than the NCR literacy rate. Female literacy rate is slightly higher than male literacy rate.

Educational Attainment of Population

Based on the 2007 Census, the highest educational attainment completed by majority of the population in Makati was high school. This was comprised of 162,899 individuals, or 33% of the total household population 5 years old and over. Out of this number, 72% finished high school while 28% were


undergraduates. More females (56%) than males (44%) were high school graduates. Those who did not have any grade completed comprised only 3% of the population, while 18% had elementary education. More males than the females were without any formal education. Of those who have had elementary education, 51% were able to complete 1st to 4th grade only, 14% until 5th to 6th grade, and 36% were able to graduate. College undergraduates comprised 15% of the total population, while 21% were academic degree holders. Less than 1% of the population were Post-Baccalaureate degree holders. More females than males were able to achieve post-secondary education, complete college undergraduate courses and get academic degrees. However, for some reasons, more males were able to get post-baccalaureate degrees.

Education Sector’s Performance Enrolment Statistics 1. Formal Education Enrolment in Public Schools The number of enrollees in the City’s public schools for school years 2006 to 2012 showed an increasing trend although increases were negligible, except in SYs 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 when significant increases were observed. Annual pre-school enrolment has been confined to a level around 5,900 students from SY 2006-2007 to SY 2011-2012. Comparing the elementary and secondary levels, annual enrolment in the former level showed a downward trend from SY 2009-2010 to SY 2011-2012 but with only a minimal reduction of less than 1% each year. On the other hand, enrolment in the secondary level continuously increased during the same period. One reason for this downward trend in elementary enrolment could be the diminishing numbers of Grade I entrants during the recent years. Table 19. Public School Enrolment Level

Enrolment in Private Schools The total number of enrollees in the City’s private schools for school years 2006 to 2012, as shown in the table below, exhibited a fluctuating trend. The same trend was also observed in the enrolment levels in pre-school and elementary levels. At the secondary level, however, enrolment was on a rising trend from SYs 2007-2012.

Enrolment in the University of Makati The number of enrollees at the University of Makati from school years 2006 to 2012 displayed an increasing trend, although the increase was more pronounced during the more recent school year when enrollment rose by 10.1% during SY 2010-2011 over the previous year’s figure.

Yabut Elementary School, Gen. Pio del Pilar National High School and Fort Bonifacio High School. The total number of SPED enrollees of these school showed an increasing trend, except during SY 2008-2009 when the enrolment dropped to 88 from the 116 enrollees of the previous year. Enrolment, however, picked up in the succeeding two (2) school years. There was a 112% increase in enrolment during SY 2009-2010, and a 73% increase during SY 2010-2011. Fast learner students enrolled in Pio del Pilar Elementary School and N. Yabut Elementary School were included for SY 2011-2012. Accordingly, the increase is attributed to transfer of students from private SPED institutions. Meanwhile, it can also be observed that SPED enrolment in the high schools was relatively lesser than in the elementary schools.

Open High School Enrolment The number of enrollees in Open High School System was at its peak in SY 2011-2012 due to pilot schools with blended open high school such as San Antonio National High School, Bangkal High School and Fort Bonifacio-Tibagan High School Annex. In Makati High School, enrolment sustained an increasing trend, while enrolment figures in Benigno Aquino High School and Fort Bonifacio High School were both on a fluctuating trend during the period 2006-2012. These two high schools have shown decreases in enrolment in the recent school year (SY 2010-2011).

2. Non-Formal Education (NFE) Programs Non-Formal Education Beneficiaries The non-formal education programs offered in Makati City are the following: Vocational Training, Food, Special Programs and Literacy Programs. The number of beneficiaries of these programs from school years 2005 to 2011 was on a fluctuating trend. Number of completers likewise followed a fluctuating trend. Data also indicated that many beneficiaries of all the programs were not able to complete the program they have enrolled in. There were more beneficiaries of the Special Programs compared to the other programs. Food-related programs have the least number of beneficiaries. Completion rate in the NFE programs was highest during SY 2007-2008 with 80.2%, and lowest during SY 2006-2007 with only 43.6%. Among the NFE courses/programs, Food related courses posted the highest completion rate in the recent school year with 87%. Public School Performance Indicators Participation rates at both levels, elementary and high school, displayed a fluctuating pattern during the school terms from 2005 to 2011. The cohort survival rates declined from 70.4% in SY 2007-2008 to 66.6% in SY 2010-2011 at the elementary level, and from 70.9% to 63.6% at the secondary level during the same periods. Generally, the trends in the drop-out rates and cohort survival rates at both levels indicate that many students failed to finish elementary and secondary education.

Absenteeism, poor health and employment were the common causes of dropping out from school. All these factors were related to poor economic conditions. Failures in grades, however, could be attributed to absenteeism, tardiness and slow or poor mental ability. Data shows a continuous reduction in the completion rates in the elementary level during the school terms SY 2008-2009 to SY 2009-2010). At the secondary level, completion rates displayed a fluctuating trend, with a significant reduction of 9% during the SY 2006-2007 from the previous school year’s rate. Low repetition rates at the elementary level were constantly displayed during the entire 2005-2011 period, although the rate experienced a falling trend from SY 2006-2007 to SY 2010-2011. At the secondary level, repetition rates were notably higher but going on a downward trend in the past years until it manifested an increase to 3.7% in SY 2008-2009 from 2.7% during the previous school year.

Educational Facilities and Personnel 1. Pre-School Level Table 25 clearly indicates a big class size for the pre-schoolers. A ratio of 1:40 to 1:47 is a big class to be handled by a teacher. Moreover, data also shows that one (1) classroom holds about 2.5 classes, which indicates a shortage of classrooms. Teacher-Pupil Ratio appears to be small, which may be due to the implementation of the shifting schedules. The City can very well provide teachers for pre-school children but the problem of lack of classrooms to house additional pre-schoolers is a big obstacle. Most of the pre-school classes are housed in the elementary school buildings which have enough classrooms just for the elementary grade schoolers. To address this concern, a two (2)-hour class schedule was tried on a pilot basis starting SY 2008-2009. While the scheme indeed increased the number of classes that were accommodated, it adversely affected the efficiency of the teachers involved in the pilot study. For them, holding three classes in a row is taxing. This brings the issue of providing quality education.

Big class size and congested class schedules can be some of the primary factors of poor performance among students. Except for Makati Science High School, San Antonio and Makati High Schools, all high schools in Makati have class size of 50 and above, and all adopting two (2) shifts as shown in Table 27. The City’s public secondary level students and many elementary graders are packed in small rooms and need to finish their classes in six (6) hours to give way to the next batches of classes. Because of the lack of space for more classrooms in the City, there is a need to continue in an intensified manner the remedial programs for slow learners particularly the slow readers and the numerically illiterate students. It also has to be expanded to cover more students needing remediation. These problems are exacerbated by problems of alarmingly fast turn-over of teachers -- either they are retiring at 60 or younger, resigning, or transferring to schools or work (i.e., schools abroad, call centers). The City is losing top-calibre teachers because of this problem. In addition, due to the salary standardization law, there is a growing demoralization among teachers who have more teaching loads but are getting the same pay as those who have lesser loads. A performance-based incentive program may be needed to motivate them to perform better. In anticipation to the implementation of the K12 program of the national DepEd., freshman subject teachers will have no teaching load for the first two (2) years of implementation of the program. This may pose a serious problem and therefore immediate attention by DepEd.-Makati is needed.

3. Tertiary Level

A 1:40 teacher-student ratio was achieved in both the 1st and 2nd semesters in SY 2004-2005 and SY 2005-2006. However, in succeeding years, as student population rose above the 10,000 mark, the number of teachers did not increase proportionately. During the 2nd semester, with student population dropping by approximately 10% and teacher population maintained, a 1:40 ratio was achieved in the last six (6) years. With student population expected to rise by at least 5% every year, there is a need for a more responsive augmentation of teacher complement to achieve the targeted ratio. This becomes even more imperative particularly in UMak as it continues to lose good faculty members. The lack of budget for specialized training for academic personnel in the tertiary level is discouraging faculty members from staying in the university. The university’s facilities also need to be expanded, and its equipment and manpower upgraded to attract more students enrolling in the university. Likewise, the university’s dormitory has to be made available not only to scholar athletes, but should also cater to other students needing accommodation.

Condition of Educational Facilities Based on the data presented on Table 28, it appears that educational facilities in most public elementary and high school in Makati were in good condition as of SY 2009-2010. At the secondary level, only Fort Bonifacio High School had no complete educational facilities such as Science Laboratory, HE rooms and IA workshop areas. All the other schools did have these educational facilities in good conditions as of SY 2009-2010.

Culture and the Art Through the signing of RA No. 7854 by President Fidel V. Ramos in January 2, 1995, Makati was converted into a highly urbanized City. To cope with the demands of the new organizational structure of the City Government, City Ordinance No. 96-052 was passed upgrading Makati Tourism and Cultural Affairs Division into the Museum and Cultural Affairs Office (MCAO) with 2 divisions: Museum Division and the Cultural Affairs Division. Its objectives are: (i) promotion and enhancement of culture and the arts, (ii) preservation of the City’s historical and cultural heritage, (iii) mounting of events in partnership with the private sector, NGOs, and other LGUs, and (iv) enhancement of people’s pride of the country by their involvement in the activities.

Cultural and Arts Facilities The Museo ng Makati, aside from serving as repository of artifacts, treasures and relics of the City’s magnificent memoir, serves as a venue for mounting art works/exhibits, storytelling and art workshops. It will soon be undergoing renovation as part of improving and preserving the City’s heritage structures. The Museum is situated in the heart of the planned heritage restoration area of the City. The masterplan for heritage restoration considered the redevelopment of Plaza Cristo Rey, Poblacion Park, J.P. Rizal and Museo Plaza, as well as the pedestrianization of D.M. Rivera Street. Private structures considered as heritage have been already mapped and will be part of the overall conservation strategy of the City. Apart from the tangible cultural preservation, songs, traditions, cuisines and other intangible cultural assets will also be preserved as laid out in the Makati Poblacion Heritage Conservation Project. The current activities of the City Library aim to address the widening of client base, with the inclusion of high school and elementary students as well as persons with disability. Through the Outreach Program, the people in the community are made aware of the library’s existence and importance through, i.e. public library day celebration, national book month, national children’s book day, library anniversary. Public


participation is encouraged through contests, programs, seminars and the organization of groups to help the public libraries, e.g., Makati Librarians’ Association, and Friends of Makati Public Libraries, Inc. Focus is also given to the Children’s Corner, where Day Care Services are provided to employees’ children. Services include scheduled story-telling, video film showing and library of children’s books for pre-school and primary grades students. Social Welfare Social welfare services generally include programs and projects on child and youth welfare, family and community welfare, women’s welfare, welfare of the elderly and disabled persons, street children, juvenile delinquents and victims of drug abuse, as well as livelihood, subsidized housing and other pro-poor projects. The City implements a Comprehensive Social Welfare Program that aims to uplift the quality of life and well-being of its citizens. Social Welfare Programs and Services

The Makati Social Welfare Department (MSWD) is the social welfare and development agency of the City Government of Makati mandated to “care, protect, and rehabilitate the segment of its society which has the least in life in terms of physical, mental, and social well-being.”1 To be able to achieve its goals and mandates, MSWD adopts a Sectoral Clientele System wherein there is one (1) section of the department that looks after the needs and concerns of a specific sector of society (i.e., children, women, persons with disability, elderly, etc.).

PhilHealth ng Masa Program Another social security program of the City for families is the PhilHealth ng Masa Program, which is designed to provide medical health insurance to indigent Makati residents. Since its inception, the number of PhilHealth cardholders has been increasing. From 69,803 PhilHealth cardholders in 2006, the number has been increasing by about 9% annually. The increase in the number of PhilHealth ng Masa cardholders is attributed to the City Government’s “No PhilHealth Card, No Yellow Card, No Subsidized Health Service” policy and the intensive campaign to avail of PhilHealth services. In 2011, the PhilHealth ng Masa Program had a total of 100,263 beneficiaries, which notably were not all indigents. To ensure a Universal Health Insurance Coverage, the City allowed the self-employed residents who do not have a stable and permanent income to be enrolled in the program.

Day Care Services The City is already 100% compliant to DSWD Order No. 82 series of 2003 mandating one (1) day care center per barangay. Meanwhile, the number of day care enrollees has been increasing every year. In 2011, Day Care Services benefited a total of 3,580 children aged 3-5 years old. In spite of this increasing trend, Makati’s target to hit 100% completion rate has not yet been achieved because of incidents of drop outs usually of those recipients aged 2½ to 3 years old. The day care service provides avenues for children to show their talents and gain self-confidence through Paligsining and Children Month Celebration for Day Care Beneficiaries. Aside from this, every year, day care recipients are given a chance to go on a one (1)-day field trip. Capability building activities are also provided to day care workers to update and upgrade their skills and knowledge in handling sessions on child and classroom management.

Senior Citizen’s Benefit Cards Senior citizens in Makati receive various benefit cards which they can use to avail of additional benefits: the OSCA National Card Program (White Card), Makati Health Card Program (Yellow Card) and the famous BLU Card. The White Card entitles the senior citizen to 20% discount in the purchase of medicines and some basic commodities. They also enjoy limitless free movies in all Makati cinemas. On the other hand, through the Yellow Card, they have benefits of free hospitalization at the City Government-owned Ospital ng Makati. For the past five years, the number of senior citizens availing benefit cards has been increasing. However, the number of elderly who availed National ID Card, Makati Health Plus Card as well as Medicine Booklet slightly decreased in 2011.

When created in 2002, the BLU Card Program did not appear attractive to older persons as it only aimed to provide 3,000 pesos burial assistance to families of deceased cardholder. However, the expansion of the BLU Card benefits include the annual 2,000 pesos Cash Gift which is intended to help them defray some of their day-to-day expenses, especially on food and medicine. The number of senior citizens availing of BLU Cards has been increasing each year, from 36,602 in 2006 to 41,275 in the following year. In 2008, a total of 4,727 new BLU Cards had been issued and 5,715 in 2009. In 2010, an additional of 5,880 new BLU Cards had been issued to persons who turned 60 years old that year so that the number of BLU Cards issued from the time of its inception until the end of 2010 would be 57,446 to 51,435 actual BLU cardholders as of the end of 2011.

Aside from the Burial Assistance and Cash Gift, the BLU Card grants senior citizens the privilege to use their vehicle anytime of the week in Makati even if it is “coded.” This is to ensure that senior citizens have easy access to medical services during the day when their vehicle is not allowed to travel. Furthermore, BLU Cardholders are given Birthday/Golden Wedding Anniversary Cake on their birthday/50th wedding anniversary.

In partnership with SM Foundation, Inc., the SM Felicidad Sy Center for the Elderly was established. It provides a recreation area for senior citizens, temporary shelter for the lost or abandoned and wellness services. In 2010, the Center hosted a number of functions or activities of the City’s senior citizens and provided temporary home care to four lost and abandoned elderly. Poor Families and Informal Settlers Poverty incidence in the City has been constantly low compared to that of the entire country and in the whole of the National Capital Region (NCR). Based on the 2003 City and Municipal Level Poverty Estimates issued by the National Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the City of Makati marked a 1.86% poverty incidence.2 This means that only about 9,618 individuals in the City belonged to the poor category. By merely looking at the figures presented, one could tell that there were only a handful of individuals in Makati considered living under the poverty line. Another poverty measure is poverty gap which measures the total income shortfall (expressed in proportion to the poverty line) of individuals with income below the poverty line divided by the total number of individuals. This provides information as to how much, on the average, is needed by each individual for them to become non-poor. The poverty gap in Makati means that on the average, the per capita income of families living in the City is only 0.13% short of the poverty threshold. By means of the poverty measure which is the severity of poverty, it was determined that Makati has a severity of poverty value of 0.09%. Severity of poverty estimates the inequality among poor. This measure is sensitive to the

2 Report on Poverty in Makati issued by NSCB.


distribution of living standards among the poor. A high value indicates that the distribution is worse or that poverty is severe. Obviously, the poverty situation among the Makati poor is not severe. Based on this report, poverty in Makati has been characterized as being not prevalent, not severe, and it is relatively easy for the poor in Makati to escape poverty. Despite the “better” situation of poverty in Makati as compared to other cities and municipalities in the country, the City does not treat this issue with mediocrity. In fact, the Makati, through the MSWD, will undertake an ambitious attempt to reduce to zero the number of poor people/families by 2019. These families will be identified in a poverty mapping to be conducted by MSWD. Considering the aforementioned characteristic of poverty in Makati and its commitment and capacity to end poverty, the zero poverty target by 2019 is not an impossible dream.

The City has been implementing anti-poverty programs. Children avail of free and state-of-the-art elementary and secondary education, while tertiary education at the local government-run University of Makati is highly subsidized. Through the Makati Training Placement and Livelihood Consortia (MTPLC), residents get access to skills training, job placement and livelihood assistance for free. MSWD is a member of the MTPLC and is responsible for the provision of various skills training. Informal Settlements Reduction and Management One of the priority objectives of the City is to achieve zero informal settlers. It was for this reason that the City had purchased two (2) properties; one in San Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan (3.2 hectares) and another in Calauan, Laguna (40 hectares) and developed these into subdivisions where the informal settlers would be relocated. The relocation site in Bulacan is called “Dreamland Ville” while the one in Laguna is called “Makati Home Ville.” Makati has Gawad Kalinga (GK) as its partner in this Relocation Program. The City purchased and developed the relocation site, GK, on the other hand, is responsible for the construction of houses and Community Development. The City also helps raise funds for the construction of the GK houses. In 2011, the City has a total of 7,675 informal settlers which is 9.5% more than the 2010 figure of 7,009 informal settlers. This increase can be attributed to at least two (2) factors: i) the establishment of new households by members of informal settler families, and ii) the influx of new informal settlers. As regards provision of assistance to displaced informal settlers, MSWD assisted a total of 1,401 families who were affected by demolition activities in 2008. Of this


number, 571 families availed of the Relocation Program: 94 in NHA-Calauan and 413 in Dreamland Ville. In 2009, MSWD assisted an additional 1,846 families whose houses were demolished. Some 816 of them were relocated to Makati Home Ville. No demolition activity had been undertaken in 2010 while 316 families were affected by demolition in 2011. In total, the City had relocated 1,390 informal settler families by the end of 2011.

Source: MSWD The success of the demolition and relocation activities in Makati is primarily due to the clarity and frankness of the dialogues conducted among the representatives of the City Government, the Barangay and the informal settlers. Another factor is the strict compliance to the provision of RA 7279 of the Urban Development Housing Act along with the availability of logistical requirements for the relocation. In this endeavor, the challenge is to ensure that no relocatees return to Makati as informal settlers again. In this regard, livelihood programs are being strengthened in the relocation sites. In 2009, a Rag Making Livelihood Project was established in the Dreamland Ville. In the following year, a Cooperative was also established there in cooperation with the Makati Cooperative Development Office. The Cooperative operates a grocery store where the community members can purchase affordable basic commodities. In partnership with the Agriculture Department of San Jose del Monte, a number of families put up gardens to cultivate crops with its produce either sold or consumed by family members. Social Welfare Facilities An inventory of existing social welfare facilities in Makati is presented on Table 35. Such facilities, which are strategically distributed among the barangays, include Day Care Centers, Senior Citizen Center, Rehabilitation Center, Women’s Center and Social Development Center. The Social Development Center located in Barangay Olympia is called the Mapagkalinga Drop-In Center. The other Social Development Center in Tejeros is one that caters to abused women and children.


As far as their current physical condition is concerned, most of the social welfare facilities have been assessed to be in good condition. In fact, all the 13 Senior Citizen Centers and two (2) Social Development Centers were reported to be in good condition. However, of the total 36 Day Care Centers in the City, eight (8) were reported to be in poor condition and presently in need of improvement. These facilities are located in Carmona, SDC Tejeros, La Paz, San Isidro, Rizal II, Rizal Pabahay, Pembo I, and East Rembo Bahay Bulilit. Among the current major issues and challenges in the social welfare services sub-sector that has land use implications are:

• Densely populated areas show high incidence crimes against persons; • Poor condition of some existing facilities; • Rising number of informal settler families which could be attributed to the

establishment of new households by members of informal settler families, and influx of new informal settlers;

Housing Under the Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279), the State shall undertake, in cooperation with the private sector, a comprehensive and continuing Urban Development and Housing Program which shall, among others, uplift the conditions of the underprivileged and homeless citizens in urban areas and in resettlement areas by making available to them decent housing at affordable cost, basic services, and employment opportunities. Section 21 of the Act further states that socialized housing or resettlement areas shall be provided by the LGUs or the National Housing Authority, in cooperation with the private developers and concerned agencies, with the following basic services and facilities: health, education, communications, security, recreation, relief and welfare, potable water, power and electricity, sewerage facilities, efficient and adequate solid waste disposal system, and access to primary roads and transportation facilities. Lot and House Ownership Based on the 2007 Census results, 43% of the households in Makati City had their houses built on lots that they owned or being amortized. Houses of another 41% were built on rented lots. Lot ownership was higher in NCR with 49%


compared to the City with only 43%. Conversely, the proportion of households residing on rented lots was higher in Makati (41%) than in NCR (33%). Housing Characteristics On the whole, Makati recorded a ratio of 105 households per 100 occupied housing units. This implies a backlog of 5 housing units per 100 households in the City if the housing program goal is ‘one house for each household’. Among the 115,594 occupied housing units in the City in 2007, the most common construction materials used for outer walls were concrete/brick/stone (58%), half concrete/brick/stone and half wood (27%), and wood (11%). As to the construction materials of the roof, 81% of the 115,594 occupied housing units in the City had roofs made of galvanized iron/aluminum in 2007. A few of the housing units had roofs made up of a combination of galvanized iron and concrete (8%) and concrete/clay tile (6%). Household Utilities Based on Census 2000 results, large majority of households (94%) in Makati used electricity as the main source of lighting.

Source: NSO, 2000 Census of Population and Housing Makati Housing Program Through the Makati Housing Program, the City Government continuously provides decent and affordable housing to its residents. The Makati Homes I in Barangay Tejeros, which benefited 316 families from 1990 to 2008, is currently undergoing renovation. The Makati Homes II, on the other hand, which is composed of three 5-storey buildings located at Milkweed St. in Barangay Rizal,


was completed in 1998 and is being occupied by 469 families of Makati residents and City Government employees. The occupancy status of the Makati Homes II from 2005 to 2010 is presented in Table 39. There is a noticeable decrease of 5% in the Occupancy Rate from 2007 to 2010. This is mainly because of the continuous annual increase on rental fee for the housing units. Most of the qualified applicants backed-out upon learning the high monthly rental fee for a low-cost housing project. Another reason for the decrease is the fact that most of the vacant units have unpaid utility bills (electricity and water), especially those padlocked units. Tenants of the padlocked units have left without informing the office, thus leaving their utility bills unpaid. There is a three percent (3%) increase in the occupancy from 2009 to 2011 because of the current and temporary moratorium on the imposition of rental fee increase.

Improved payment collection efficiency for the Makati Homes II units is noted in 2008 which can be attributed to the efforts of the City Government’s Housing Division to collect and oblige tenants to enter into a compromise agreement and its continuous and early advisory among tenants on the rental due dates and amounts. The series of padlocking contributes to the increase because tenants were forced to pay their arrearages. For City-employee tenants, automatic salary deduction scheme is strictly observed. In response to the relocation of the informal settlers, the City through its Off-Site Resettlement Program also provides housing and builds communities outside Makati, as shown in Table 40. These resettlement areas are the Dreamland Subdivision in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, and the Makati Home Ville in Calauan, Laguna. The Dreamland Subdivision, a 32,000-square meter property purchased by Makati, is currently occupied by 416 families relocated from informal settlements in the City. The village has been equipped with well-paved and well-defined road system and drainage system. As of end of 2010, 140 housing units costing P100,000 each have been completed and awarded to the recipient families for free. The counterpart contribution of the relocatees is in the form of labor in the construction of their respective housing units.


The Makati Home Ville is a 40-hectare lot purchased by the City in 2007 and being developed into a village for the relocated informal settlers. As of 2010, a total of 954 families have been relocated to the site.

Aside from the provision of basic utilities (water, electricity and water-sealed toilet) and facilities (school, chapel, community center, covered court), various livelihood and social development projects are being implemented in both resettlement areas with the support of the business sector and non-government organizations.

Sports and Recreation Another important aspect of social development, aside from the general population’s access to quality health care, education and decent housing, is the presence of and access to recreational opportunities in the locality. The availability of parks and other amenities for recreational and sports activities plays an important role in the perceived quality of life of one area over another.

Sports and Recreational Facilities Makati boasts of its multitude and variety of sports and recreational facilities, both publicly and privately owned. The most popular recreational facility in the City is the karaoke bar, which numbered 143 in all as of 2010. Movie houses, covered and open courts, gymnasiums, and parks and playground also abound in the City. Parks and other recreational facilities are strategically distributed around the City, which provide easy access to residents and visitors from all walks of life. The City has numerous sports and recreational facilities intended to develop the youth’s potential on sports. These venues for sports activities are organized by


the various offices of the City, youth groups, and the private sector found in the different barangays. The City through the Youth and Sports Development Department (YSDD) and SK Federation in coordination with other departments and offices should use these facilities in developing future athletes who will represent the City in any sporting events, and will be known locally and internationally. The YSDD and the SK Federation, in close coordination with the MSWD, work hand in hand in undertaking various programs and projects that will help the youth become independent, empowered and useful citizens of tomorrow. These programs include youth training and leadership programs (i.e., Youth Leadership and Volunteerism, Peer Counseling, Lakbay Aral, ISKOLAR BOS) and socio-cultural activities such as Inter-Barangay Sports Tournament, Inter-High School and Inter-Elementary Sports Tournament, Himigsikan and Dance Billboard, Himig Pasko, Mr. and Ms. Teen Makati, etc.. Other programs also focus on services and special education programs such as Iwas Droga, Balik Eskwela, Barangay Computer Enhancement, Brain Olympics and JESB Community Outreach Program. Despite the numerous sports and recreational facilities in the City intended to develop the youth’s potential on sports, one opportunity to strengthen sports development in the City is the creation of Makati Sports Development Committee. The Youth and Sports Development Department, however, is looking into this. The initial step deemed to be practical is to fast track the formulation of the Makati City Sports Development Plan, which up to the present has not progressed.

1.4.3 Protective Services Security to life and property is a fundamental right of every Filipino citizen and it is, therefore, the duty of the State to protect it. This is explicitly stated in the Article II Section 5 of the Philippine Constitution, to wit: “The maintenance of peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and property, and promotion of the general welfare are essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings of democracy”. The City, through its network of efficient and effective police, emergency and rescue, and firefighting force and facilities continuously strives to create a safe and secure living and working environment. The following departments, offices and council are in-charge of law enforcement and various protective services in Makati: Makati Police Department enforces law in order to prevent/control crimes, maintain peace and order, and ensure internal security with the active support of the community;


Makati Fire Department is responsible for the prevention and suppression of all destructive fires, investigation of their causes, enforcement of the Fire Code and provision for medical and rescue services; Makati City Jail administers the operations of the City Jail and the provision of services to inmates; Makati Rescue is a multi-functional emergency response office with the responsibility of providing a broad range of emergency services to the community; Makati Traffic Enforcement Unit enforces traffic laws and regulations, and apprehends traffic violators; Public Safety Department, also known as MAPSA, was organized primarily to assist the local police force in providing public safety within the City. Specifically, it is tasked to provide traffic assistance, secure the City Government’s premises and properties, and maintain peace and order at the barangay level; and Makati Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is responsible in the formulation and implementation of programs/activities as part of the preparedness, mitigation, response and rehabilitation in case of occurrence of disasters in the City. Index and Non-Index Crimes: Incidence and Solution Efficiency From 2006 to 2011, the number of index crimes exhibited an erratic trend. The number increased two (2)-fold in 2011 as it rose to 1,112. Within the span of 6-years, theft and robbery remained to have the highest incidence. However, robbery cases climbed to 468 in 2011, or 200 % increase from 156 in 2010. Incidence of physical injury rose to 150 in 2011 from only 66 in 2010. Other crime incidences reported were murder, homicide and rape. The annual target of 5% reduction in crime incidence was obviously not met during the 6-year period. Likewise, incidence of non-index crimes exhibited an increasing trend from 2006-2008. In 2009, the number dropped to 164 from 242 in 2008, but it rose again in 2010 to 238 and climbed to 358 in 2011. Crime incidence related to drugs had the highest number among non-index crimes, although it started to decrease during the last two years. Incidence of violence against women and children significantly decreased by more than 50% while estafa showed tremendous increase in 2011. Carnapping incidence increased significantly from eight in 2007 to 29 in 2008, but it diminished in 2009 to 2010 and further rose to 142 in 2011. Violence against women and children, malicious mischief, use/possession of illegal drugs, acts of


lasciviousness, and estafa/falsification accounted for the majority of the non-index crimes committed in 2011. Crime solution efficiency during the last six (6) years was high for both index and non-index crimes. However, for index crimes, the percentage of efficiency went down to 76% in 2010 from 91% of the previous year. Likewise for non-index crimes, crime solution efficiency fell to 86% in 2010 from 94% in 2009. Over-all, the solution efficiency has been declining in the last 6 years, especially during the recent year. This can be attributed to the change in crime reporting method as directed by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), under NAPOLCOM Memorandum Circular Number 94-017, also known as “Unit Crime Periodic Reporting” put into effect nationwide on June 1, 2009. The circular provides for the declaration of all types of crime reported at the grassroots level, in the barangay, Police Community Precincts (PCPs), and headquarters, even for record/documentation purposes only, or blotter. For some of the crimes, the perpetrators and victims are non-Makati residents who do not have the interest to pursue their complaints, thus, most of them have not been resolved. Table 41.

Police Police Facilities and Equipment Makati has a total of nine (9) police precincts scattered in different locations within the City, a police headquarters (main) and a traffic management group, with a total of 489 personnel, 57 vehicles and 33 motorcycles, which were all assessed to be currently in good condition. With a total population of 529,039 in 2010, the Makati Police needs additional police personnel to meet the standard police-population ratio of 1:500. The deficiency in police force is heightened during the daytime when the City’s population is estimated to increase six (6) to eight (8) times because of the presence of non-resident workers and students as well as tourists and shoppers.

Jail Management The City has one (1) City Jail with a cell area of 1,236 square meters. Inmate population continued to fall from 592 in 2008 to 507 in 2010. With the average jail population of 510 inmates, each inmate occupies roughly 2.42 square meters. This falls below the United Nation Standard of three (3) square meters per inmate, and has a 25.3% congestion rate. On the other hand, the Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) sets the National standard of two (2) square meters per inmate as ideal capacity, and one (1) square meter per inmate as maximum capacity. Based on this national standard, the City Jail is above standard with a variance rate of 20.94%, meaning, the jail size is adequate. The present jail facility is composed of 10 cells.

Fire Incidence and Prevention During the last three (3) years, the most number of fire incidence occurred in Barangays Palanan, Poblacion, San Lorenzo, Bel-Air, Bangkal, San Antonio and Guadalupe Nuevo. Areas with the least incidence of fire were in Barangays Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, and Post Proper Southside. This could be attributed to the increase in fire safety awareness and consciousness among the residents and local leaders of these three barangays. Fire occurrences showed a fluctuating trend during the last three years. From 231 in 2008, the number decreased by 9% in 2009, but it rose again sharply in 2010 by 45%. Lectures and seminars on fire safety and prevention have been increased, and being handled by fire safety educators of the Fire Station, and coordinated by the Public Information Service of the City. Increased education activities are also being conducted during the Fire Prevention Month (March). Among the activities conducted are fire drills, distribution of fliers on fire safety, and the Oplan Paala-ala, wherein sub-station personnel do house-to-house visitation and inspection around their areas of responsibility.

Fire Protection Services, Facilities and Equipment Fire protection facilities and equipment include a fire station (main) and 10 sub-stations with 119 fire protection personnel, 11 fire trucks and one (1) ambulance. Each fire station is equipped with a fire truck, but eight (8) of these fire trucks are no longer in good condition. The operational capability of the Makati Fire Station to suppress all kinds of fires is therefore being constrained due to lack of equipment in good working condition. Moreover, the station needs additional skilled drivers and mechanics. Such personnel and facility deficiencies compels the Makati Fire Station to tap the Barangay First Responders to augment the existing firefighting personnel. Fire brigades are also available, with some of them housed in the BFP fire stations. Barangays Guadalupe, Poblacion, Forbes Park and Singkamas have their own responding teams, ready for deployment not only in their area of responsibility but also within the City if need arises. The response team of the City’s Fire Station is technologically supported and guided by a world-class Command, Control and Communication System (C3). The team provides responses to emergencies in coordination with other responding groups such as the Makati Rescue, Traffic Unit of the PNP, and the Public Safety Department. Makati has been cited ten times since 1992 as the Local Government Unit in the National Capital Region (NCR) with the Best Fire Station.

Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement The Public Safety Department (PSD), also known as Makati Public Safety Assistance (MAPSA), and the Makati Traffic Enforcement Unit (MTEU) has operational traffic jurisdiction over the whole City that includes ten (10) main thoroughfares, thirty five (35) major intersections, forty four (44) signalized intersections and thirty four (34) areas considered bottleneck areas during peak hours, not to include secondary and tertiary roads, which are likewise busy. Their joint thrust is to improve road safety and to enforce the City’s Traffic Code. Traffic Violations Table 47 shows a decreasing trend in all types of traffic violations committed from 2007 to 2011. Overall, the number of traffic violations posted a 33%


increase in 2011 from the previous year’s 36,544 violations. Non-use of seatbelt consistently recorded the most number of traffic violations during the 5-year period, with 27% share of total violations in 2011. This was followed by disobedience to traffic control and signals at 10%, and violation of vehicle volume reduction scheme (VVRS) at 10%. Violations on jaywalking sharply increased from 1078 in 2010 to 3,874 in 2011, and violations on urinating/defecating/spitting ordinance leaped from 448 to 775 during the same period. The overall decrease in the violations can be attributed to the strict implementation of the City’s traffic regulations. Programs were also implemented to lessen accidents in the City such as distribution of leaflets to motorists and pedestrians on how to avoid traffic accidents, and conduct of Road and Safety Seminars, which educate attendees on traffic laws, rules, and regulations, ordinances, and other safety tips on preventing accidents.

Anti-Drug Abuse Operations The Makati Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) was conferred a plaque of recognition by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for its exceptional contributions in preventive and control strategies in combating the drug problem in the City. From 2006 to 2008, anti-drugs operations conducted increased from 468 to 618. However, in 2009, the number of operation dropped down to 471. As the number of operations diminished, so were the number of individuals apprehended which totaled to only 86 persons in 2009 from 139 in 2008. The number of individual cases filed started to decline in 2008 from the previous year’s 351 cases to 217, and further to 139 in 2009.

Makati Rescue Services

Makati Rescue Services provided include Emergency Medical Services (EMS), response to fire incidents and vehicular accidents, K-9 services, paneling, patrol/posting services, and response to bomb threat incidents. Response to emergency medical concerns has the most number of services rendered throughout the five-year period. The number of services rendered to such concern has been increasing every year. From 2006, the number increased in 2010 by more than five times. This increase could be attributed to the escalating requests from different departments, barangays and other constituents of the City on the transportation of non-emergency patients to and from the hospital.

EMS is being provided in coordination with Ospital ng Makati and Acute Care Center. It is considered vital in responding, evaluating and intervening in potentially catastrophic events. EMS co-manages initial scenes in many medium-to-large scale incidents involving large number of casualties. Response to vehicular accidents is the second most rendered rescue services during the five-year period, with slight increases noted every year. Their numbers were only about one-fourth to one-sixth of the number rendered to emergency medical services. Paneling services and response to fire incidents rendered were lesser in number, while patrolling/posting and response to bomb threat incidents were the least rescue services rendered. The Makati Rescue Team managed to maintain its average response time of 5-7 minutes from Rescue Base to any point of Makati, which means that the team was able to respond to any emergency situation at the shortest possible time.


Makati’s Rescue Team can be considered the most equipped with the acquisition of modern tools and devices.

In terms of logistics, Makati Rescue has one (1) Rescue Truck, which is fully equipped with air, sea and land technical rescue equipment, one (1) fire truck, two (2) advance cardiac life support ambulance, two (2) utility pick-ups, one (1) K9 van. The annual increase in the number of medical and technical equipment boosted the response ability of Makati Rescue.

1.4.4 Utilities: Power, Water, Communication Network, Waste Management

Road Improvement All roads in Makati have been concreted since 2004 and meet established standards on structural design. Current road-related improvements include landscaping and provision of street lighting for the safety of motorists and pedestrians. Other improvements being considered are related to improving levels of service through the expansion of road right-of-way (RROW) by expropriating land and through other means such as the allocation of additional lanes during the development of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) in exchange for the relaxing or waiving of certain development restrictions.

Source: DEPW, 2011 Ancillary Road Facilities In addition to road networks are ancillary facilities throughout the City. Sidewalk The City has a total sidewalk length of 304.406 km. Out of the total length of sidewalk, 301.399 km. or 99.01% is walkable based on 2010 data. In order to attain 100% walkable sidewalks, the City continuously implements the rehabilitation and sidewalk beautification program which includes: landscaping and sidewalk improvement; demolition of structures encroaching the sidewalk; repair and maintenance of damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutter, and manhole covers; installation of railings, bollards for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs); recovery of government lots; removal of idle/dilapidated lamp posts and pedestals; and, strict implementation of ordinances on the proper use of sidewalks. Streetlights For the safety of the motorists, residents and transients during night time, the City through the DEPW implemented street lighting programs. Since the beginning of the program in 2003, 252.54 km. of streets have been lighted, including major thoroughfares and secondary roads. This is equivalent to 67.60 % of total 373.59 km. target. There are on-going projects for 48.49 km. of street lighting corresponding to13.0% of the total. The remaining 72.56 km. is already in the pipeline.


The City has also adopted street lighting projects which also concerns the protection of the environment. One of these is through the use of an Energy Efficient Lighting System (EELS) in all of the existing streetlights which not only provides better lighting, but also saves on the amount of energy being utilized. Another program being explored by the City is the utilization of modern streetlight equipment through a computerized central monitoring system to further ensure street lighting efficiency. This monitoring system improves the cable clearing operations being implemented by the City in coordination with concerned telecommunication and cable utilities. Parking facilities Makati, having one of the busiest streets in Metro Manila, is prone to traffic congestion particularly during busy hours. Illegal parking on both sides of the streets in various areas adds burden to motorists. To address this, the City has programmed the following: • Construction of parking facilities in selected barangays (i.e. Pembo, Bangkal,

Guadalupe Nuevo, Carmona, and San Antonio) • Modernization and upgrading of existing sports facilities wherein the ground

floor as the parking area and second floor as the sports facilities. • Utilization of idle lots (either public or private) and open public school grounds

as parking area in the evening to minimize street parking. • To draft an Ordinance and submit to Sangguniang Panglungsod regarding

carpooling, park-n-go and elevated walkway (walkalator) is another option. • Introduction of other means of transportation like cable cars along Pasig River

easement.

Waiting Sheds There are 37 waiting sheds which are distributed throughout the City. These waiting sheds have been erected to alleviate some of the discomforts brought about by climate conditions to public commuters in the City.

Source: DEPW, 2011 Road Markings Like other countries, proper use of lane markings contributes to the smooth flow of vehicular traffic and promotes discipline to the public with regards to proper use and courtesy. Thermoplastic lane markings are conducted every year to help the Protective Services Sector lessen traffic congestion. Water Supply Manila Water Company and Maynilad provide water service in Makati City through several primary distribution mains. Raw water, however, comes from the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa water system, an external source that begins in Norzagaray, Bulacan and supplies the whole of Metro Manila. Water supplied by the Manila Water company is treated at the Balara Treatment Plant while Maynilad treats its water at the La Mesa Dam. In 2011, 97.50% of households in Makati were considered to have access to safe drinking water. Data from the Makati Health Department from 2009-2011,


however, indicate a decrease in the total number of households served from 2010 to 2011. Table 56. Percentage of Households with Access to Safe Drinking Water

Given the above information, there is still a need to improve the existing water supply services in the City to ensure that safe drinking water is provided to all of its constituents. Continuous coordination with water service providers is necessary to ensure that their programs are parallel with the needs of the City. Power

Electric power supply connections in all barangays of the City are provided by the Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), which is the sole electric distributor for Metro Manila. MERALCO gets its bulk supply from the state-owned National Power Corporation (NPC). Transmission lines that bring power to Metro Manila are operated and maintained by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines. In as much as all of the City’s barangays have access to electricity, existing distribution lines and facilities must be closely monitored to maintain reliability of service. This is especially important considering serious business disruptions are often brought about by power outages. Telecommunication Telephone Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) and Globe Telecom are the major providers of land-based telephone services in the City. Smart Communications, Globe Telecom, and Sun Cellular are the major mobile phone service providers operating in the City. Record Carriers There are four (4) international record carriers and stations in the City, which includes Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc., Globe Telecom, Philippine Global Communications and Capitol Wireless, Inc. Postal services are provided primarily through four (4) postal offices: a central postal office in Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue and three (3) other postal offices located in Districts I and II.


Radio, Television and Publication There are five (5) FM radio stations, three (3) AM radio stations; two (2) cable operators and two (2) satellite television providers in Metro Manila servicing the City. There are also two (2) television stations and six (6) publishing houses based in the City. Existing telecommunication facilities meet the standards set by the HLURB and show that the City’s communication level is adequate. These, however, must be continuously improved in order to be at par with the fast modernization of telecommunication facilities and innovations that are available globally. Drainage and Sewerage Makati is prone to flooding because of its topographic and hydrological conditions characterized by low-level areas and the low gradient of the Pasig River combined with the prevalence of heavy rainfalls associated with tropical cyclones. The City has three (3) types of drainage channels: open canals, reinforced concrete covered pipes, and improved box culverts. Domestic and industrial wastes are discharged into storm drains and into the nine rivers and creeks that extend from Del Pan Street to San Jose, Guadalupe. During the period 2009 to 2011, improvements were made to the City’s drainage system. Open canals were converted to improved box culverts and reinforced circular concrete pipes (RCCP). By 2011, 419.238 kms. or 66.07% of City streets have improved box culvert systems, 208.54 kms. or 32.87% are lined with RCCP drainage while only 6.75 kms. or 1.06% remain as open canals.
