    2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages 3 City Planning and Development Office i 2021–2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) Volume 1 Preliminary Pages Message from the Mayor Our beloved Iloilo City has progressively built on its glorious past to usher in a present, which is a source of pride and hope for our people, and an inspiring benchmark for our neighbors in Western Visayas, and beyond. Yet we are not a people who rest on our laurels. We aim higher. We move further. We scale greater heights. We level up. To level up Iloilo City, we begin with the end in mind. We need to envision a future where our city is livable, sustainable and resilient. We aim for a culturally vibrant and economically well-developed city where governance is a shared responsibility and where people are innovative and creative. We dream big, yet we stay realistic. We know that our collective journey as Ilonggos towards our envisioned future has to factor in developments in our external environment. Prudence likewise dictates that our resolve to level-up needs to consider our strengths and weaknesses as a local government unit and as a community. We need to assess our competencies and our resources, particularly our land and its current and future uses, so we are well-informed in determining the best development strategy to level up Iloilo City. I am, therefore, most pleased that we have already crafted the 2021-2029 Iloilo City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), which is a product of a series of consultations with various sectors.

  • Republic of the Philippines
    Republic of the Philippines Located in south-eastern Asia, the Philippine archipelago (projected population 90.50 million in 2008)1 lies between the Philippine Sea and the South China Sea and encompasses 300,000 square kilometres of land and water. Although the 7,107 islands are favourably placed in relation to south-eastern Asia's main water bodies, they are located in the typhoon belt and affected by cyclonic storms each year. The Republic of the Philippines is divided into 81 provinces with 136 cities. Manila (population 1.58 million)2 is the capital and the surrounding National Capital Region of Metropolitan Manila (population at least 11 million)3 is the country’s political, economic and social centre. The United Nations Human Development Index ranks Philippines 90 out of 177 countries worldwide (value 0.771). This places the Philippines in the group of countries with medium human development.4 According to the 4-part typology developed by the International Observatory on End of Life Care, the Philippines is categorised as a country in Group 3: that is, with localised palliative care provision.5 1 Palliative care service provision Current services In the Philippines, 34 organisations provide 108 hospice and palliative care services (Table 1). Alongside these providers, a wide range of groups give compassionate care to the dying.

Executive Summary1 Context & Problem Overview There is a great necessity for improved sanitation practices in the developing world. Forty percent of the world’s population practice open defecation or lack adequate sanitation facilities. In urban areas throughout the developing world, where household and community toilets are available, 2.1 billion people use toilets connected to septic tanks that are not safely emptied or use other systems that discharge raw sewage into open drains or surface waters resulting in a greater incidence of waterborne diseases, poor drinking water quality, and contaminated water sources.
