CALABARZON consists of fiveprovinces, 19 congressionaldistricts, 11 cities, 131municipalities and 4,009 barangays(Figure 2.1, Table 2.1). The elevencities of the region are Cavite City,Trece Martirez City, Tagaytay City(Cavite), Calamba City, San PabloCity, Sta. Rosa City (Laguna),Batangas City, Lipa City, TanauanCity (Batangas), Antipolo City (Rizal)and Lucena City (Quezon). Amongthe cities, Lucena City is the onlyhighly urbanized city. Quezon has themost number of municipalities andbarangays while Rizal province hasthe least.

1.2 Land Area and Land Classification

The region has a total land area of 1,622,861hectares or 5.4 percent of the country’s total landarea of 30 million hectares (Figure 2.2). The regionis the 6th smallest in terms of land area among the17 administrative regions of the country. Quezon hasthe largest land area with 870,660 hectares, whilethe province of Cavite has the smallest with 128,755hectares.

the province of Rizal, Laguna is an inlandprovince though not totally landlocked, as mostof its northwestern portion is along Laguna deBay while the hinterlands of the Sierra MadreMountain ranges from level to steep. The area’shighest peak is Mount Makiling. The provincehas seven principal rivers and ten mountains.

Boundaries: North-Laguna de Bay;South-Batangas; East-Quezon; West- Batangasand Cavite.

QUEZON

Topography: Located along the eastern portionof the Luzon seacoast, Quezon has a ruggedterrain with few plains, valleys and swamps.Only narrow strips of land along the coast andriver valleys are available for growing crops.The undulating lowlands along the coast arewell drained. The Sierra Madre range runs alongthe entire length of the province. MountBanahaw towering with 2,169 meters abovesea level is the most prominent peak of therange.

The province is very narrow, averaging about30 kilometers in its width, small coastallowlands rimmed by rugged highlands in theinteriors. There are also several islands, whichare part of the province. The largest amongthe islands is Polillo Island. The province hasfive principal rivers and 26 mountains.

Boundaries: North-Aurora and Bulacan;Southeast-Camarines Norte and Camarines Sur;East-Philippine Sea and South Tayabas Bay;West- Batangas, Laguna and Rizal

RIZAL

Topography: Situated at the Northernpart of Luzon, Rizal province surrounds

Metropolitan Manila. It has undulating hills anda few rugged slopes that make-up the southernfoothills of the Sierra Madre ranges. Easternportion is composed of gently rolling hillsbroken only a few ridges; western part is lowand flat.

The province has two principal rivers and 36mountains.

Boundaries: North-Bulacan; South-Laguna de Bay; East-Quezon; West- NCR.

1.4 Slope

Slope is one of the most important landcharacteristics being considered in land usesuitability evaluation. Slope controls the directionand often the quantity of surface drainage (or run-off) and influences soil erosion susceptibility andrainfall infiltration into the soil. It also determinesthe ultimate use of the land.

Lands with 0-18 percent slope are best suitedfor agricultural use, urban and rural settlements,industrial, institutional and infrastructuredevelopment. Those areas with 9-50 percent slopeare suited to perennial crops, pasture and agro-forestry; and those areas with slope gradient of morethan 50 percent are solely for forest development.

The region has a 59.73 percent land area withslopes ranging from 0-18. This presents opportunityfor agricultural use, urban and rural settlements,industrial, and institutional and infrastructuredevelopment. Slope distribution by province ispresented in Table 2.4 and Figure 2.3.

The province of Quezon provides moreopportunity for agriculture and agri-industrial-related production activities and for settlementpurposes, and the province of Rizal provides the leastopportunity.

1.5 Soil Physiography And Soil Suitability

There are three types of soil commonly foundin the region. These are: (a) clay (clay loam, loamand sandy loam); (b) fine sandy loam (silt loam,adobe and sandy clay loam); and (c) the soil of freshwater marshes, hydorosol found around the Lagunalakeshores. Approximately two-third of the total landarea is characterized by well-drained, deep, lowfertility acid soils, considered best for root cropsand agro-forestry.

In most part of Batangas, Cavite, including theWestern part of Rizal and Laguna, the types of soilrange from sandy loam to clay, loam generally suited

to upland crops (i.e. upland rice, corn, vegetableand fruit orchards). In the lower areas of these prov-inces, the soil is of clay loam type with fine sandymaterials good for rice farming. In Laguna, the hy-drosol type plus clay loam type soil with fine sandymaterials found in the lakeshore has given rise tofairly homogenous lowland rice farming pattern inthe province.

Soil types in the upland plains of Quezon andLaguna are characterized by the clay, clay loamand sandy loam suited to coconut agricultural pat-terns.

Figure 2.4 shows the Climatic type of the re-gion while Table 2.6 shows the Climatic Type,amount of Rainfall, Temperature and Relative Hu-midity by province.

The general climate condition in the regionpromotes agricultural activities except for someareas in Quezon, particularly for Polillo Island,which is classified as Type II. Most parts of Quezonis conducive to farming. However, despite having alarge land area that can be devoted for agricul-tural activities, Quezon’s terrain is almost equallymountainous and sloping. Some areas in Rizal couldalso be promoted for agricultural use. However,Rizal is similar to Quezon as most of its areas aremountainous and sloping.

Characterized by an even distribution of rainfall throughout the year, covering the central part of Quezon, including the islands of Alabat.

Type IV

Characterized by a relatively dry season from January to April and wet during the rest of the year. The areas covered by this type of climate are the eastern part of Batangas, Laguna and Rizal.

Type III

Characterized by a very pronounced maximum rainy period from November to January, with no distinct dry season. The areas covered by this type of climate are the easternmost part of Quezon province including the Polillo group of islands. The mean annual rainfall received by these areas exceeds 3,500 millimeters.

Type II

Characterized by a distinct dry season from November to April and wet season during the rest of the year. This type of climate covers the whole provinces of Cavite and Batangas, western parts of Laguna and Rizal.

area of 1.6 million hectares comprise theNPAAAD or agricultural lands, as of 2002.

More than half of Laguna’s total landarea or 55.3 percent is classified as NPAADareas a stark contrast with Rizal which has18 percent. On the distribution of NPAAD areasby province, more than half or 52 percent ofthese lands are located in Quezon, 20 percentin Batangas, 15 percent in Laguna and theremaining 13 percent is shared by Rizal andCavite provinces.

Between 1987 and 2002, aggregate areafor agricultural lands in the region increasedby 4 percent from 491,536 hectares to669,715 hectares. In contrast, the A & Dincreased only by 0.17 percent during thesame period. Rizal registered the highestincrease of agricultural lands at 11 percentwhile Batangas had the least at 1.6 percent.

The increase in A & D for cultivation ispartly attributed to the programs ofDepartment of Environment and NaturalResources (DENR) and Department of AgrarianReform (DAR). During this period, anestimated 38,796 hectares of alienable anddisposable (A&D) lands were opened up forcultivation and were released by the DENRfor distribution to farmer beneficiaries underthe Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program(CARP) of the government particularly inBatangas, Quezon and Cavite. Under the sameprogram, the DAR also was able to redistributea total of 132,294 hectares of agriculturallands.

DAR and DENR are the frontlinegovernment agencies tasked with theacquisition and distribution of agriculturalland the flagship program for agrarian reform,the CARP.

In addition, an increasing hectarage ofland was made available for agriculturalproduction activities through the government’scomprehensive agrarian reform program orCARP. Under the CARP, the government was ableto distribute a cumulative 116,695 hectares ofagricultural lands to agrarian reformbeneficiaries in the region from the period 1988to 2001. However, the conversion of agriculturalland to other uses is a common occurrence insome provinces of the region which areconsidered as producers of major agriculturalcommodities such as corn, coconut, swine andpoultry, among others.

The expansion of industrial activitiesbeginning late 1980s and the consequentmovement of population from rural areastowards the urban centers of the region arewidely seen to have influenced the increasingland requirements for settlement, industrialand commercial areas, particularly in theprovinces of Batangas, Laguna, Rizal andCavite. Hence, the incidence of agriculturalland converted to residential, industrial andcommercial use is relatively high in theseprovinces.

In a span of fifteen years from 1984 to1999, more than 12,000 hectares ofagricultural lands were converted mostly forresidential purposes indicating a quickeningpace of growth in the region’s urban andindustrial centers (Table 2.10).

The principal agricultural land usein CALABARZON is basically devoted tocrop production, utilizing close to 99percent or about 663, 823 hectares of itstotal agricultural land. About half of thisarea is located in Quezon province whileRizal has the lowest percentage share ofthe total cropland at only 3.6 percent.

Coconut is planted in more than onehalf or 376,760 hectares of the totalcropland area, while rootcrops use theleast area of 0.21 percent. The total landarea used to produce palay in the regionis 19.67 percent or 130,597 hectares,while corn, mostly grown as feed for theregion’s hog and poultry industry utilized

about 3.6 percent. Production of fruit crops/trees in the region utilizes 52,211 hectares or7.87 percent, pasture lands use 3.46 percentor hectares, and vegetables use 0.28 percentor 1,880 hectares of total cropland (Figure2.7).

Table 2.11 shows thedistribution and utilization ofcroplands for the production ofspecific major agricultural cropsby province. The data show thatmost of the region’s productiveagricultural lands are alreadyfully utilized (Table 2.12) TotalAgricultural Lands/NPAAD, TotalCroplands and utilization Rate byProvince, CALABARZON, 2002).

Batangas and Caviteprovinces have surpassed theircapacity levels indicating that crop productionactivities may already be utilizing marginallands and even upland areas. On the otherhand, Laguna province has at least 12 percentof cropland not yet fully utilized.

b. Distribution of the SAFDZ

Within the NPAAAD, lands were furtherdelineated and categorized into their bestclasses and have been placed under the

Strategic Agriculture and FisheriesDevelopment Zones (SAFDZ) intended mainlyfor agriculture and agri-industrial relatedproduction activities. For CALABARZON,agricultural lands comprising the SAFDZaccount for almost 60 percent or 401,304hectares of the total agricultural land area(NAPAAD areas) of the region (Table 2.13 andFigure 2.8). The proportion of SAFDZ areas vis-à-vis the total NAPAAD areas vary significantlyby region with Quezon recording the lowest

proportion at 31 percent and Laguna withalmost all or 98 percent of its NAPAAD areasare also classified as SAFDZ.

Eighty-one percent of the total primeagricultural lands in the SAFDZs can be foundin the provinces of Batangas, Quezon andLaguna. Cavite and Rizal account only for 19percent of the total SAFDZ area of the region.Specifically, Rizal has the lowest percentageshare with only 5.5 percent.

On the remaining NAPAAD areas, Quezonprovince has the biggest share, (242,945hectares) comprising 90.5 percent of theregion’s total. Laguna and Rizal recorded lessthan one percent. Almost all of the NAPAADareas of the two provinces are classified asSAFDZ areas.

Remaining NPAAAD lands are intended forfuture expansion of agricultural productionactivities. Intensification/Expansion ofagricultural production activities in the regiontherefore can be focused in these areas. Itshall be noted, however, cropland areas ismuch bigger than the SAFDZ areas indicatingthat the remaining NAPAAD lands are almostutilized.

2.1.2 Livestock and Poultry Production Areas

Under the SAFDZ, 4.7 percent or 18,844hectares are used for livestock and poultryproduction activities. For 2002, based on aninventory of 20.34 million heads of swine,poultry, ducks, goat, cattle and carabao, thetotal area utilized and required for thispurpose was estimated to total 1,163hectares. Chicken poultry inventory had thebiggest share in total inventory of about 85percent and swine inventory of 8 percent;occupy 44 percent and 40 percentrespectively of the total land area.

2.1.3 Fishery Resources

a. Major Fishing Grounds

The region is rich in marineresources. It has nine identified fishingareas, namely: Manilay Bay, Balayan Bay,Batangas Bay, Batangas Coast, VerdeIsland Passage, Tayabas Bay, b.Ragay Gulf, Labat Sound and Lamon Bay.

b. Municipal Fishing

Municipal fishery activities aretraditionally centered in Rizal becauseof the Laguna Lake, particularly on itsnortheastern shore bordered by themunicipalities of Binangonan, Morong, Baras,Tanay, Pilillia and Jala-jala. The average shareof municipal fishery harvest in this provinceconstitutes more than half of the totalmunicipal fishery output in the region (Figure2.9).

Other municipal fishing activitiesconcentrate along Quezon’s southeastern coastof Tayabas Bay and Ragay Gulf particularly inthe coastal towns of Sariaya and Pagbilao, andthe coastal towns of Pitogo, Gen. Luna, Unisan,Macalelon, San Francisco and San Andres in the

Bondoc Peninsula. These coastal towns havesignificant numbers of municipal fisherfolkpopulation, including the province’s northerncoastal towns of Infanta and Real. In Batangasprovince, major municipal waters utilized forfishing are the Balayan and Batangas bays, andTaal Lake.

The region’s coastal and inland waterscomprise the municipal waters, covering 95municipalities and 879 coastal barangays.

c. Municipal Fisherfolks

The region has an estimated totalmunicipal fisherfolks population of 73,071.Most municipal fisherfolks are considered poorand directly depend on municipal fisheryactivities for their livelihood. Ninety percentof the municipal fisherfolks can be found inthe provinces of Quezon, Rizal and Batangas.Quezon hosts the most number of fisherfolksin the region with about 45 percent of totalmunicipal fisherfolks. These are concentratedin the province’s southern tip of the BondocPeninsula and REINA (Real, Infanta and GeneralNakar) municipalities.

2.1.4 Highlight of Agricultural Performanceand Food Sufficiency

a. Crops, Livestock and Poultry

As an important economic sector of theregion, the agriculture sector is composed ofthree major production subsectors; crops,livestock and poultry, and fishery.

The combined production value of thesethree subsectors in 2003 was estimated at 27billion pesos (at constant prices). The livestockand poultry subsector contributed half of thistotal, while fishery and crops subsectorscontributed 27 percent and 22 percent,respectively.

In 2003, the production value ofagricultural crops reached an estimated 6billion pesos (at constant prices). The volumesof production in the crops subsector weredominated by sugarcane, coconut, palay,banana, mango, pineapple, rootcrops andcorn.

CALABARZON isone of the leadingproducers of swine,chicken and chickeneggs in the country. In2003, data showedthat about 13 percentof total hog inventoryin the country, 24percent of totalchicken, and 28percent of total eggswas contributed by theregion. Compared tothe country’s majorproducing regions,CALABARZON places

second to Region III in hog and chickeninventory and first in egg production. Overallthe value of the livestock and poultrysubsector in the region is estimated at 13billion pesos in constant prices.

b. Fishery Production Performance

CALABARZON region ranks fifth amongthe country’s major fishery producing regionsled by ARMM in 2003. During the period 2000-2003, total regional production averages334,945 metric tons with an estimated valueof P 7.6 billion (at constant prices). Amongprovinces, the combined fishery harvests ofRizal and Quezon constitute three fourths ofthe region’s average annual production.

The bulk of fish harvested in the regionis contributed by the municipal fisherysubsector, averaging 40 percent of regionalfishery output, while period 31 percent and29 percent have been contributed byaquaculture and commecial fishery,respectively.

c. Food SufficiencyLevels

CALABARZON is a net importer of majorfood and feed commodities, except carabeef.Rice is among the commodities, which theregion imports at a relatively high quantity.To meet the supply deficit for rice of almost amillion metric tons, it is estimated that morethan two million hectares of land to be devotedto rice production alone.

The supply of grain commodities islargely sourced from the neighboring Mindoroprovinces in the MIMAROPA region, Region III,and Mindanao. Importation from outside thecountry also been resorted regularly to meetthe chronic and irregular supply from domesticsources.

Food supply for carabeef is exceptionally

high considering that per capita consumptionis relatively low due to taste preference andthat current laws restrict/regulate the killingof carabao for meat purposes. On the otherhand, despite being as a major producer ofswine and chicken, including eggs, the regionis also deficit in supply for these foodcommodities. This suggests that production isunable to keep pace with an increasingpopulation, including a relatively high percapita consumption and extraction rate for thisparticular food commodity.

d. Feed Sufficiency

The region’s swine and chicken industrywith an estimated total inventory of 18.88million heads consumes a large amount of corn-based feed to sustain and support commercialproduction. In 2002, an estimated 630,872metric tons of yellow corn was required to

meet industry demand. Localproduction of corn howevercan only supply less than 10percent (or 57,882 metrictons) of total feedrequirement. The balance or90 percent represents theunmet demand or supplydeficit of the industry.

Only Quezon meets theyellow in corn feed demandfor its hog and poultryindustry. This is mainlyattributed to the province’srelatively small poultrypopulation Overall, the regionis only 5 percent sufficient inyellow corn. Utilized as feedmainly for the hog and poultryindustry (Table 2.17).

Of the total targeted 8.06 millionhectares nationwide, DAR is to distribute 4.29million hectares (53%) while DENR is todistribute 3.77 million (47%). Of these, the twoagencies have distributed a total of 5.44million hectares (57 percent).

DAR has distributed 3.102 millionhectares (72%) to some 1.735 million agrarianbeneficiaries. About 1.646 million hectares areprivate agricultural lands. DENR has distributed2.341 million hectares (62% of its scope) tosome 1.46 million agrarian beneficiaries. Asof December 2000, thetotal remaining area fordistribution under theComprehensive AgrarianReform Program (CARP) is2.62 million hectares. Outof these total, DAR is todistribute 1.19 millionhectares, while DENR is todistribute 1.43 millionhectares.

Of the DAR target of 4.29 millionhectares, CALABARZON’s share has todistribute 160,660 hectares or 4 percent.Quezon and Batangas have account for at 54and 20 percent respectively; Rizal and Laguna,at 12 and 9 percent respectively and Cavitewith the least share at 5 percent.

As of August 2004, 132,294 hectares or82 percent has been distributed out of DAR’starget of 160,660 hectares for the region. Morethan three-fourths of the lands weredistributed in the provinces of Quezon (55%)and Batangas (21%). The remaining balance of30,111 hectares, half of which is in Quezonprovince, is expected to be completed fordistribution by 2010 (Table 2.18).

b. Agrarian ReformCommunities (ARCs)

The Comprehensive AgrarianReform Program (CARP) prescribesthat package of support servicesmust be provided to agrarianreform beneficiaries (ARBs) andtheir communities. Due to limitedresources, the Agrarian ReformCommunity (ARC) approach wasadopted as the geographical focusfor the delivery of supportservices. Support services however,have been invested in non-ARC areasconsidering that most (ARBs) in the region areoutside the ARC coverage. ARCs were furtherexpanded to include ARBs in non-ARC areas.

In 1993, 105 ARCs were launched in allprovinces of the region, covering a total of 75municipalities and 279 barangays. A significantnumber of ARCs launched were mostlyconcentrated in Quezon (Table 2.19 and Figure2.11).

2.1.6 Mineral Resources

a. Metallic Minerals

Metallic mineral resources in theCALABARZON region include gold, copper, iron,nickel and manganese. These minerals canbe found in the provinces of Quezon, Batangasand Rizal (Figure 2.12). Major non-metallicminerals in the region include andesite, basalt,limestone, rock aggregates, gravel and sand,clay, silica sand and marble (Figure 2.13).Mineral resources in the province of Cavite areconcentrated mostly in the coastalmunicipalities. In Rizal, mineral resources

are concentrated in Antipolo, Rodriguez, andTanay. For Batangas, Laguna and Quezon,mineral resources are spread throughout theprovince.

b. Non-Metallic Minerals

In the Southern Tagalog Region, miningand quarrying contributed an average of 0.05%to the regional economy from 1990 to 2000.From 1999 to 2000, 75% of Gross Value Addedin Mining and Quarrying came from theCALABARZON region.

Significant production of non-metallicminerals supports the construction industry.Notable is the increasing production ofaggregates especially in Rizal, limestone inthe provinces of Quezon, Rizal and Batangas.While the construction industry had generallydeclined, there are still on-going projectsthat demand quality construction materials,i.e., aggregates. On the other hand, theproduction of sand and gravel has beendecreasing. Below is the production datafor non-metallic minerals (See details atAppendix Table No.1).

c. Mining Permits Issues

The Department of Environment andNatural Resources (DENR) issues mining permitsfor areas covering five hectares and over, whilethe PMRB issues mining permits for areas lessthan five hectares. For the CALABARZONregion, the bulk of existing mining/quarryingpermits and mineral agreements issued by theDENR for non-metallic minerals are in theprovinces of Rizal, Batangas and Quezon (Table2.21). There are only about 20 permitteesgranted rights to operate more than 100hectares each of mineral land. Thirteen ofthese permittees operate in Rizal, specificallyin Antipolo, Tanay, Baras, Rodriguez, andTeresa. In Batangas, five permittees operatein Calatagan, Taysan, Nasugbu and BatangasCity.

Meanwhile, mining permits for metallicminerals in the provinces of Batangas (forcopper, gold and silver) and in the province ofQuezon (for copper) have expired in 2002. InBuenavista, Quezon, an area consisting 4,332hectares has been declared by the PMRB-Quezon on February 10, 2004 as People’s SmallScale Mining Area under RA 7076. Applicationsfor permits by small-scale operators arecurrently being processed. As of March 2004,there are 247 mining tenements under processby the DENR covering an area of 538,745hectares.
