    CITY DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES IN THE PHILIPPINES:AN ENABLING PLATFORM FOR GOOD GOVERNANCE ANDIMPROVING SERVICE DELIVERY

    The CDS3 Project is a technical assistance grant funded by Cities Alliance and

    supported by the Asian Development Bank, Japan International Cooperation

    Agency, UN-Habitat, and the World Bank. The CDS project was developed

    in response to the need to introduce an integrated, comprehensive, and

    participatory approach to urban management. Founded on the principles

    of livability, bankability, competitiveness and good governance, the CDS

    process guides the cities in the preparation of comprehensive, long-

    term development strategies, where the city government involves localstakeholders in the entire strategic planning process-assessment, visioning,

    strategy formulation and project prioritization and capital investment

    planning-through a series of consultations.

    The World Bank implemented the pilot phase in 1999 with 7 cities. Since

    then, the League of Cities of the Philippines carried out 2 succeeding

    phases, which expanded the program to 58 cities in all. In 2001, the

    Up-scaling Poverty Focused City Development Strategies (CDS2) covered

    31 new cities. In 2005, the project CDS in the Philippines: An Enabling

    Platform for Good Governance and Improving Service Delivery (CDS3)

    added 15 new cities to the roster of CDS cities in the Philippines. Under

    the preparation grant for the City Development and Investment Project,

    the League also carried out CDS for 5 new cities. As of 2008, 64 of 120 cities

    have participated in the CDS program, including 3 cities assisted by ADBunder the Cities without Slums Project (Caloocan, Quezon and Taguig),

    and the 3 cities that participated in the Local Environmental Planning and

    Management Project of the UNDP (Lipa, Cagayan de Oro and Tagbilaran).

    INTRODUCTION

    Cavite City is located at the northern tip of Cavite Province, 34 kilometerssouth of Manila and bounded by three bays--Caacao, Manila and Bacoorand the Municipality of Noveleta.

    Fishing is the primary industry of the city with its almost 190 kilometers ofcoastline and varying fishing grounds that includes estuarine and brackishwater. The city is most known for its mussel and oyster production.

    Only a few places in the country could lay claim to being a cradle ofhistory, and Cavite City is one of them. Many of the countrys historical

    events transpired here, from the Cavite Mutiny of 1872the so-calledGrandmother Event of the Philippine Revolutionthe unfurling of thePhilippine Flag, the birthplace of the Philippine National Anthem and thefirst transatlantic flight, which set into motion Philippine aviation.

    Unknown to many, Cavite City maintains territorial jurisdiction overCorregidor Island the last bastion of the countrys military defenseagainst the Japanese invaders during World War II. This island just off theshore of Manila Bay has been declared a national historical site and one ofthe countrys main tourist attractions.

    Fort San Felipe, one of the countrys remaining Spanish forts, is likewiselocated in the city. Now integrated within a military installation, it has beenconverted into a museum that houses several naval artifacts depicting thecitys rich maritime and naval history.

    SITUATION ANALYSIS

    LIVABILITY

    Cavite City is a relatively peaceful community owing to a high crimesolution rate of 98%. Cohort survival rates are also comparatively high at86.92% at the elementary level and 89.46% at the secondary. Literacy rate isalso high at 97.39%. The average household income in 2000 was P117,559(NSO 2000), with the poverty threshold at P17,437.00 which is way abovethe regional standard. Minimum wage for non-agricultural labor in 2006was Php 267 per day.

    67% of the citys population is eligible for the labor force (2005). The annualemployment rate is around 87%. Majority of the residents are engaged infishing, owing to the fact that the City has 35 coastal barangays. Althoughthe city itself has limited employment opportunities, the problem ofunemployment is negated by the availability and quality of its humanresources who seek employment in nearby cities and municipalities.

    There are 11 public pre-schools, 12 public elementary schools, 2 nationalhigh schools, one (1) state university and one (1) public technical schoolin the city. Complementing these public institutions are 28 private pre-Elementary schools, 25 privately owned elementary schools, 11 privatehigh schools, two (2) private colleges and one (1) private vocational. Thiscontributes to the high cohort survival and literacy rates of its residents.

    Health institutions in the city consist of one (1) district hospital, two (2)military medical faci lities, five (5) Rural Health Units, a City Lying-In Hospital

    and two (2) private medical facilities

    The percentage of households living with security of tenure is 83.43%while 16.57% are living in informal settlements. Those with access to pipedwater (level 3) comprise 79.15% of the population. There is a problemthough with regard to saltwater intrusion into the aquifer making thegroundwater unsafe for drinking. Close to 100% of households haveaccess to toilet facilities (94.51%) and power (93.125%). Telephone serviceis available from two companies.

    Since the city is surrounded by water, keeping the water clean is a majorchallenge. The establishment of many illegal fish pens aggravates thisproblem. Moreover, there is also the difficulty of patrolling the waters forillegal fishers and fishermen from other areas due to lack of manpower andequipment.

    Inadequate training for fishermen on appropriate fishing methods hasresulted in low production and the low quality of the mussels and oystersproduced.

    COMPETITIVENESS

    The city has a cumulative land area of 1,238.63 has, 68% of which is underthe jurisdiction of the national government. These include Sangley Point,a navy installation established by the U.S. Government in WW II, Fort SanFelipe and the Islands of Corregidor.

    The lack of available land for development is a drawback to the city in

    attracting more entrepreneurs and businesses.

    The wide expanse of sea totaling 1,800 sq. km and a coastline of 190 sq. km.surrounds the city. Likewise, it has an estuarine area of 30.84 hectares a longManila Bay and brackish water pond of 5.45 hectares located in BacoorBay that could be utilized for aquaculture of mussels, oysters, bangus(milkfish), lapu-lapu and sugpo (shrimps).

    Cavite Citys proximity to Metro Manila and other commercial centersmakes its products accessible to other markets. This is complemented by24 hour transport facilities that facilitate the transfer of goods to adjacentmarkets.

    The city is blessed to have a natural harbour in Caacao Bay. Naturalharbors have long been of great strategic and economic importance. Thiswas evident in the citys role in the Acapulco-Manila Galleon trade duringthe Spanish period and the strategic locations of the military installation

    such as Sangley Point and Fort San Felipe.

    The city has no fish port and cold storage facilities for processing of its aqua-culture products. The existing pier and seaport are located within militarybases and therefore inaccessible to the public. However, the issuance ofExecutive Order No. 629 by the Arroyo Administration in June of 2007 isanticipated to pave the way for the citys re-emergence as an importantplayer in the transportation of industrial goods within and outside thecountry. This directive allows the Philippine Reclamation Authority toconvert Sangley Point into an International Logistics Hub which includesan airport and seaport through the reclamation of portions of Bacoor andCaacao Bay.

    The local Tourism Council has developed a histo-cultural tour for studentsand tourists to promote the citys historical sites. It has also institutionalized

  • 8/13/2019 City of Cavite

    9/14

    8 |City of Cavite City Development Strategies Report | 9

    various festivals such as the Live Via Crusis during the Lenten season, theRegada Festival during the Feast of St. John in June, the annual City Fiestaevery November and the Christmas Festival in December. While the councilis available and ac tive, there is no Tourism Office to provide administrativeand operational support to expand these activities. There is also a lackof tourism facilities, such as hotels or information centers that could beutilized in promoting and disseminating vital information about Cavite.Likewise, there is a need to rehabilitate and highlight existing historicalmarkers and monuments. At present, the City G overnment has undertakeninitial steps to strengthen its bid to promote its tourism potentials throughthe construction of a Local Tourism Office.

    BANKABILITY

    Cavite is a Fourth-Class Component City, with a total income of Php225.06million (2007). The internal revenue allotment (IRA) acounts for 75.2%of the total income, while majority of local revenues are generated frombusiness income (5.2%), with permits and licenses, service income andother sources jointly representing the balance.

    The bulk of the City Governments expenditures go to maintenance andother operating expenses 57.4%, followed by personnel services 43%; andfinancial expenses 2.4%. The citys capital outlay expenditures represent14.59% of the total budget for 2007.

    The citys debt servicing capacity to total current income (regularsources and IRA) amounts to 9.7% and the citys current assets totalto Php26,398,760.51 and total property, plant and equipment (net) isPhp188,287,441.22 or a total of Php214,686,201.73.

    The present efforts of the local government is focused on intensified taxcollection, updating real property tax values, as well as improvement of frontline services through information technology. The city requires policies thatwould enhance fiscal autonomy and improve tax administration system.

    GOVERNANCE

    The city government has a total 350 employees, of which 95% arepermanent, 2% are co-terminus, and 3% are casuals. Out of the citysexpenditure, 43% of it is allotted to wages of its personnel.

    Cavite City is fortunate to have the active participation of its tourismcouncil and NGOs in all of its activities and projects. It has a functional

    Local Development Council, with more than 20% NGO representativesthat meets twice a year to identify projects and programs that would beundertaken on a yearly basis.

    In order to increase participation of civil society and the business sectorin the affairs of the city government, there is a need to expand themembership of other mandated councils, such as Local Health Board,Local School Board, Local Finance Board, Nutrition Council, Gender andDevelopment Council, Council for the Protection of Children, Small andMedium Enterprises Development Council, Peace and Order Council,Disaster Coordinating Council,

    Cavite City has a Legislative Agenda that complements the ExecutiveAgenda. This is developed in consultation with stakeholders and provideslegislative action on the Local Development Plan. Periodic barangay-levelconsultations (at least 2 times a year) are also held to seek the stake holdersviews and opinions. The city also has sufficient feedback mechanismsin place that would disseminate and receive information to and from itsconstituency through e-mail , billboards, information and complaint desks,radio station and local newspapers. Public documents such as transactionrecords and contract documents are accessible to the public.

    Front line services for Business and Licensing and Real Property TaxAssessment (RPTA) are already computerized. Although more aspects ofthe city governments operations still await development in technologythat could help increase levels of efficiency and transparency.

    Finally, there is a great need for aggressive implementation of theComprehensive Land and Sea Use Development Plan (CLUP) and

    other Zoning Ordinances to properly manage the direction of the citysdevelopment.

    VISION & CITY BRAND

    A seaport community by the bay, that positions itself as a premier

    histo-cultural destination in the CALABARZON and Mega Manila

    area and as a major aquaculture products provider by 2015

    As the Historic and Culture City by the Bay the city aims to optimize itsproximity to the seas by developing its seaport community and in theprocess capture a significant share of the market for mussels and oysterproduction in Cavite province and its adjacent areas. This will establishCavite City as the center of aquaculture production.
