2017 CALABARZON REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT REPORT Foreword HON. HERMILANDO I. MANDANAS RDC Chairperson The Regional Development Report (RDR) is prepared annually to report the socio-economic performance of Calabarzon. It reports the performance of the economic, infrastructure, social, environment and governance sectors vis-à-vis the Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 targets as well as with the previous year. The development outcomes attained from the implementation of policies, programs and projects by the regional line agencies, state universities and colleges, local government units and civil society organizations in Calabarzon all contributed to our goal of laying a solid foundation for a more inclusive growth, a high trust society and a globally competitive knowledge economy. The sectoral performance was measured based on the results matrices of the Plan wherein the development outcomes were assessed. The impacts of strategic programs and projects were also highlighted, and the challenges were identified for appropriate development interventions and on how to move forward. The preparation of the RDR was initiated by the NEDA Region IV-A and supported by all the development actors in the Region. The RDR was reviewed and endorsed by the RDC sectoral committees. The 2017 Calabarzon Regional Development Report will guide us in shaping the development of our region towards AMBISYON 2040 through our collective sense of Malasakit, Pagbabago at Patuloy na

    PART II METRO MANILA AND ITS 200KM RADIUS SPHERE CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA CHAPTER 7 GENERAL PROFILE OF THE STUDY AREA 7.1 PHYSICAL PROFILE The area defined by a sphere of 200 km radius from Metro Manila is bordered on the northern part by portions of Region I and II, and for its greater part, by Region III. Region III, also known as the reconfigured Central Luzon Region due to the inclusion of the province of Aurora, has the largest contiguous lowland area in the country. Its total land area of 1.8 million hectares is 6.1 percent of the total land area in the country. Of all the regions in the country, it is closest to Metro Manila. The southern part of the sphere is bound by the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon, all of which comprise Region IV-A, also known as CALABARZON. 7.1.1 Geomorphological Units The prevailing landforms in Central Luzon can be described as a large basin surrounded by mountain ranges on three sides. On its northern boundary, the Caraballo and Sierra Madre mountain ranges separate it from the provinces of Pangasinan and Nueva Vizcaya. In the eastern section, the Sierra Madre mountain range traverses the length of Aurora, Nueva Ecija and Bulacan. The Zambales mountains separates the central plains from the urban areas of Zambales at the western side. The region’s major drainage networks discharge to Lingayen Gulf in the northwest, Manila Bay in the south, the Pacific Ocean in the east, and the China Sea in the west.

Guevarra1 Kyle Pierre R. Israel1 1 Institute of Renewable Natural Resources, College of Forestry and Natural Resources University of the Philippines - Los Baños 2 College of Architecture University of Santo Tomas Abstract The years 1946 to 2020 saw the gradual dwindling of Santa Rosa City, Laguna’s agricultural land, from 96% to 15.4%. Meanwhile, the city’s urbanization catapulted to 84.5% by 2013 from just below 4% in 1946. Under the regional development plan of the Aquino Administration designating Region IV-A, Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon (CALABARZON) as the industrial hub of the country, and driven by the increased access with the construction of the expressway in the 1980s, Santa Rosa City’s manufacturing industry rose from 746 in 1980 to 5,201 in 2013, a near 700% increase. Today, Santa Rosa City is at the heart of BANTAYAN, ET AL.: MAPPING THE ECO-SOCIAL UNITAS 326 the urbanization and industrialization, topping Metro Manila’s economic growth. The highest population density is concentrated at the shore areas of Laguna Lake, the largest freshwater lake in the Philippines. From an environmental perspective, this is an economic bubble waiting to burst, but the effect to the city’s environmental sustainability is dire: water abstrac- tion at its highest may lead to land subsidence, not to mention water scar- city, which the environmental effects lead to the increased pollution of its catchments, waterways, and the shoreline, and continuous land conversion particularly for housing are imperiling its array of ecosystem services.

    Batangas Literature Reflecting Unique Batangueno Traits: Bridge to Cultural Development

    International Journal of Social Science & Interdisciplinary Research__________________________________ ISSN 2277 3630 IJSSIR, Vol. 2 (4), APRIL (2013) Online available at indianresearchjournals.com BATANGAS LITERATURE REFLECTING UNIQUE BATANGUENO TRAITS: BRIDGE TO CULTURAL DEVELOPMENT DR. IMELDA L. AN*; DR. REYNALDA B. GARCIA* *LYCEUM OF THE PHILIPPINES UNIVERSITY CAPITOL SITE, BATANGAS CITY, PHILIPPINES ______________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT Batangas province in the Philippines is proud of its cultural heritage, particularly the Batangas literature which reflects the unique characteristics of the Batanguenos, their life and culture. The cultural development of the people goes along with the development of Batangueno literature which places a tremendous emphasis especially in poetry songs, and folktales mostly drawn from real life. The writers have put themselves in the service of the society when they intend their works as agents of social change. Hence, this research seeks to identify from the people of different communities in Batangas the most common among the existing forms of Batangueno literature, and to find out what unique traits that contribute to the development of Batangas culture are transmitted to the younger Batanguenos. Findings revealed that the most common forms of Batangas folk literature are folksongs as town hymns, poetry in forms of luwa (religious songs) and proverbs, also folktales. Unique Batangueno traits such as nationalism, religiosity, ad positive attitude towards life stem from the town hymns and luwa. Proverbs capture the Batanguenos’ honor and faithfulness, love and respect for parents and elders, social relationships, sacrifice and love for others and economic security, endurance and industry. These unique Batangueno traits are used to check human flaws in society and improve their spiritual and social relations and work together to achieve developmental goals.
