A MESSAGE FROM THE CITY MAYOR

            Greetings my fellow Antipololeños!  With great honor, I present to you our City’s accomplishment for the past year, 2009. We are witnesses to everyone’s hard work and endeavor for the realization of our City’s vision to be the Pilgrimage City with Globally Competitive Economy, Ecologically Balanced Environment and Results-Oriented Government.

            In line with our mission to strengthen e-governance, this report utilized the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) in the preparation of this year’s accomplishment report. The LGPMS is a web based tool designed to measures/assess the performance of the Local Government in terms of the Four Areas of Governance (Administrative, Social, Economic and Environment) including the valuation of the fundamentals of governance like transparency, accountability and participation. This system generates electronic reports of the city: State of Local Governance Performance, State of Local Development and Financial Performance. These e-reports reflected the implemented Programs, Projects, Activities (PPAs) covering the five sectors of development: social, economic, institutional, environment and infrastructure sectors.

            As we walk through the new path for the succeeding years, the City Government of Antipolo will continue to deliver higher level of public service to our constituents. This will be realized through responsive PPAs complemented with enabling policies embodied in the strategic direction of this administration…NILO CARES Program:

Nutrition/Health and Social Services

Agriculture Development

Infrastructure and Physical Development

 Resource Generation & Mobilization

Livelihood & Housing

Education  & Sports

Order & Public Safety

Sanitation & Environment

Culture & Tourism

 

            Together let us rise up to challenges and work hand in hand for the attainment of our city’s vision, anchored on Political Stability, People Empowerment and Service Oriented Government but always the welfare of the Antipoleños in mind. With all these, I am certain that, “Tuloy ang Pag-asenso ng Antipolo!”

 Executive Summary

            The City of Antipolo has been blessed to have accomplished programs and projects that have, in one way or the other shaped the pattern of growth in the City. Its responsiveness to address key issues and concerns of the Antipoleños will only be measured by the Citizens themselves who benefited from these PPAs. Aside from the people, the National Government also has adopted tools to measure the performance of a Local Government Unit in terms of governance and development areas. One of these measurement tools is the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) which is a web based tool designed to measures/assess the performance of the Local Government in terms of the Four Areas of Governance (Administrative, Social, Economic and Environment) including the valuation of the fundamentals of governance like transparency, accountability and participation.

            This year’s accomplishment report deviates from the usual presentation and utilized the LGPMS in presenting the accomplishment per sector vis a vis the results generated by the system. The accomplishment describes at the minimum the obtaining capacity level and the factors and circumstances that bear upon it. There are three (3) reports generated by the system that will be discussed part by part in this accomplishment report: Electronic-State of Local Governance Performance Report (e-SLGPR); the Electronic-State of Local Development Report (e-SLDR) and the Electronic-State of Local Performance Financial Report (E-SLPFR).

The City has an exceptional performance in the following areas: Customer Service Civil Applications, Human Resource Management and Development, Health Services, Forest Ecosystem Management, Freshwater and Ecosystem Management and Transparency.

The City Government performed well in Customer Service and Human Resource Management. This is attributed to the newly adopted Citizens’ Charter by the Sangguniang Panlungsod (City Resolution Number 2009-212) and the implementation of the Reorganization (City Ordinance 2008-308), we have given focus to facilitating ease of transaction of our citizens and the security of tenure of the city employees respectively.

For Health Services, the City is successful in the implementation of devolved health programs of the national government. A quality primary health care system, quality maternal care and quality child care is in placed as implemented by the City Health Office. These programs include: Comprehensive Maternal and Child care; Control of Diarrheal Diseases; Expanded Program on Immunization; National Tuberculosis Control Program; Control of Acute Respiratory Infection; Integrated Cancer Control Program; Control of Cardiovascular Diseases; Family Planning Program; Nutrition Program; Malaria Control Program; among many others. Simultaneous Medical Mission also took place in August of 2009, participated by all the city government employees and various private organizations and medical practitioners in the City.

Freshwater ecosystem management was given importance evident in this year’s accomplishment report where Non Government Organization participated in the protection and rehabilitation of water bodies in the City. Projects such as, a Clean-up drive on September 19, 2009 at the Hinulugan Taktak was launched together with the students from the International School of Manila.  Another move to help rehabilitate Hinulugan Taktak Protected Landscape was conducted last November 28, 2009 when the Youth Leaders Club held a Clean-up Day for Hinulugan Taktak with the theme “Isang Hakbang para sa Kinabukasan”.  Other initiatives include: Sagip Sapa – Iwas Baha Clean-up Drive; Information, Education Campaign for the protection of the City’s water bodies, among others.

Likewise, Forest Ecosystem management was given attention in 2009. Areas for reforestation and protection are set, and that target areas for reforestation and protection are met. Seven Thousand Two Hundred Ninety Three (7,293) seedlings to increase the forest cover were distributed for the year 2009. A Forestland Data Base Formulation was also conducted to monitor the number of forest occupants in the City’s watershed. This initiative is a part of the continuing activities for the implementation of the Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) of the City.

In terms of transparency, the City Government has institutionalized form of communication to the public in terms of information dissemination. It utilizes a various multimedia like a website (www.antipolo.gov.ph); bulletin boards at conspicuous places; broadcast media. A public Information Office is also a part of the City’s Organizational Structure.

There are also PRIORITY AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT as identified by the LGPMS. These areas are listed hereunder:

Administrative Governance

Social Governance

Full rehabilitation of damaged areas of calamities is essential to continue our services to our constituents. Though it might not be possible considering the cost of rehabilitation, prioritization should be made on the basis of its urgency.

For the City Social Welfare and Development Office, It is a challenge to reconstitute and reconvene the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC).

However, there is still a need to have an inventory of: informal settlers, makeshift houses, sites for potential socialized housing, households with no access to potable water supply, and households with no access to electricity to address and direct the focus of concern for the housing and basic utilities. This must be done on a proactive manner.

The ALS continues to benefit individuals from different age groups. As of school year 2009-2010, the total number of beneficiaries totaled to almost 9,000. In relation completers of the ALS Program were 73 students in basic literacy, 297 in elementary and 925 in secondary for a total of 1,285. There were also 417 passers of the Accreditation and Equivalency Test in the same year.

Economic Governance

The full implementation of the ARTA, Anti Red Tape Act or more popularly known as the Citizen’s Charter as adopted by the Sanggunian Panlungsod may be the answer that will improve our system. The One Stop Shop was already implemented this January 2010 and already applied new developments for the fast processing of the permits. Various agencies of the City Government are now coordinating for the improvement of the services. These includes: Business Permit and Licensing Office (BPLO), City Planning and Development Office (CPDO), City Environment and Waste Management Office (CEWMO), City Health Office and many others.

Other initiatives include: Farmers’ Field School (FFS) on Palay Check System and Vegetable Production; Livelihood Programs (Indigenous Fruit Wine Making, Rural Improvement Homemakers Class); Aquaculture Development, Coconut Development Project, Multicropping Technology and many others.

In an effort to balance and manage its rapid growth, the City of Antipolo retains its Primary Economic Sector composed of agriculture, poultry and livestock and fisheries for the purpose of food security, employment, a buffer prevent urban sprawl.

Environmental Governance

Initiatives under this area include: Establishment of the Transfer Station;  Search for the Cleanest and Most Beautiful Barangay; Expansion of solid waste management services like: (a) provision of more cost effective collection & hauling  services; (b) promotion of waste minimization and material recovery programs; (c) implementing the proper closure and rehabilitation of dumpsites; and (d) developing sanitary landfills &safe disposal systems. 

Fundamentals of Governance

On the other hand, of the 79 projects implemented out of the 20% Development fund of the City, there are no projects undertaken in partnership with the private sector. In this regard, the LGU should look into partnerships with the private sector for development projects. The private sector is an untapped resource that need to be considered to augment the resources of the City.

Social Development

Social Development is determined using quality of life and minimum basic needs indicators. It is affected by both the state of the economy and environmental quality. A productive economy and a clean environment are conducive to the improvement of social welfare in terms of health and nutrition, education, housing and basic utilities, and peace and security.

The City focused on giving the constituents the best quality social services our LGU has to offer. Housing and Basic Utilities is the only problem area for social development. Some of the highlights for social development are as follows:

Note: Data are lifted from the Data Capture Forms Submitted by the City Health Office. See attached accomplishment report of the City Health Office for details of health programs.

Among the projects of the City Health Office that contributed to this high average are: Comprehensive Maternal (11, 835 beneficiaries) and Child care (21, 232 Males and 18,365 Female Beneficiaries); Expanded Program on Immunization; Family Planning Program (453 Beneficiaries); Nutrition Program (Food fortification, Home Food  Security); Environmental Sanitation Program and many others.

Note: Data are lifted from the Data Capture Forms Submitted by the Antipolo DepEd

Contributing factor in the low completion rate for secondary education is the insufficient classrooms and facilities for high school education. For 2009, there are 182 classrooms that were constructed in 18 various school sites, of which ____are secondary schools.

Note: Data are lifted from the Data Capture Forms Submitted by the Antipolo PNP

Antipolo is a City dependent on the protective multipliers. Though there is a shortage in the PNP personnel, this is augmented by barangay auxiliary support groups that controls the peace and order in various barangays.

Economic Development

Economic development is determined by indicators of employment and income. Economic activities have the capacity to greatly affect the quality of the environment. Well-managed economic growth does not pollute the environment and does not destructively exploit and irreversibly damage natural resources.

In 2009, the Public Employment and Services Office (PESO), has successfully placed or employed 3,650 antipoleños, through referrals. The City has a 56.19% of job placement out of the Five Thousand, and Two (5,002) referred job applicants.

Other initiatives to increase employment are: Special program for the Employment of Students (SPES), Career Information Guidance, Labor Education for Graduating Students (LEGS), Job Fairs; and Local, Provincial and Overseas Recruitment Activities.  

Poverty alleviation initiatives of the City Government include: Livelihood programs; Poverty Eradication in the Forestlands through the introduction of Alternative Livelihood Cashew Production Seminar; of Income Generating Projects (IGPs); High Value Commercial Crops Program among others.

Environmental Development

Environmental development is determined using environmental quality indicators such as the land, air and water quality and natural resources indicators describing agricultural, forest and aquatic resources productivity. The result depends on the type of ecosystem in the LGU.

Since the air environment is a shared environment, a polluting entity can affect the air of adjacent areas.  Though there are no cases of factories polluting the City, utmost monitoring is recommended so that none will exist even in the future.  Dust particles coming from quarrying and cement plants may also be a potential cause of concern to the residents of the city.  Although vehicle emissions have not reached an alarming rate, congested areas may be suffering local air quality problems.

The solid waste problem is becoming a concern as there is no proper facility that can readily treat the garbage properly.  The traditional means of mixed collection and without a proper waste minimization program compounds the problem of non-existence of a treatment facility.

Tree cover in the urban area is sufficient with an approximate percentage of 10%-20%. The benchmark is set to be at 20%.

Much effort on agricultural land development & high possibility to increase agricultural land productivity should be given focus. Antipolo is within the benchmark of 40%-80% in terms of irrigated lands to total irrigable lands. Though there are incidences of agricultural land classification, prime agricultural land is still being sustained as the LGU average is within benchmark of less than 15%.

To address the issue of land conversion, the city will have to undertake programs to protect prime agricultural land through the enactment of relevant land use allocation and zoning through an updated Comprehensive Land Use Plan. Also, the City Agriculture Office will strictly monitor the implementation of Administrative Order 20 on the Interim Guidelines on Agricultural Land Use Conversion.

The results of the LGPMS shows a forest that is fairly preserved falling within a benchmark of not lower than 50% in terms of forest cover. There are encroachments in the forestlands due to the presence of other dwellers in addition to community forest workers and traditional or indigenous people. Likewise, there are still cases of illegal logging in the City’s forestlands.

In this regard, environmental police are being capacitated through the CEWMO to undertake the monitoring of our forestlands. Other initiatives are: Capability Enhancement Training-Workshop on Effective Environmental Education and Awareness Campaign; Forestland Data Base Formulation

Antipolo City’s freshwater ecosystem consists of the surface waters and groundwater found within the city. The City has an average freshwater productivity as the fish catch in rivers or lake remains the same. However, its productivity may be endangered in the future because there are industries located within the vicinity of river systems that have no pollution control facilities.

The probability of pollution load in freshwater areas is low due to the minimal number of squatter HHs which could contribute domestic wastes set at 2 -5 houses per km stretch on riverside.

 State of Local Governance Performance

The State of Local Governance Performance presents inputs to development – most of which are institutional in nature.  This section provides the administrative railroad for Antipolo’s train of development; following the thought, the train will only reach as far as where the railroad stops.  Hence, the development of Antipolo’s existing institutions and sometimes, creation of new ones, should be a continuous agenda of the city government. As existing institutions say a lot about a locality’s potential development, improvements in these institutions are likewise correlated with the potential positive change in the citizenry’s quality of living.

 Administrative Governance

Source: LGPMS Official Website, November, 2009

The City Government performed well in service areas Customer Service Civil Application and Human Resource Management and Development. In compliance with the Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007, the Citizen’s Charter of the City Government of Antipolo was formally adopted through City Resolution 2009-212 in July 2009. This legislation aims to simplify the transactions and to guide the clientele through these transactions. Also, efficient data retrieval and information management is being practiced with the computerization of data and transactions in various offices of the city government.

The Human Resource Management of the City also got a high rating for PY2009 with the continuous implementation of various capability building workshops and seminar among its workforce. Some of these capability building activities are:

It was also during this year that the Reorganization of the City Government was implemented. The said reorganization was institutionalized in 2008 through City Ordinance. 2008-308 entitled “An Ordinance Adopting a New Staffing Pattern for the City Government of Antipolo”.

In December 2009, the first Mayor Nilo Leyble Gawad Serbisyo Publiko was awarded to employees’ in various levels of the organization; the most outstanding department of the city government was also recognized. This activity aims, other than to give incentive to employees’ who have exemplified excellence and commitment in their work, to inspire other employees to promote quality public service.

The relatively high rating for Antipolo’s Local Legislation can be attributed to several factors. The city’s legislative agenda is in place since 2007. Also, legislative tracking is computerized which makes data retrieval a lot easier. In 2009, the Sangguniang Panlungsod has initiated the creation of a Legislative Backstopping Committee through City Ordinance 2009-357.  Antipolo City, however, lacks some essential legislation which includes the Health and Sanitation Code, the Gender and Development Code and an Updated Revenue Code.

The City Development Council of Antipolo – the composition of which include the regular members as prescribed by the Local Government Code and the Expanded Technical Working Group as proposed by the Rationalized Planning System – has been active partner of the LGU in the planning aspect of the city’s development. The five development sectors – institutional, economic, environment, social and physical/land use – prepared resolutions identifying measures to address various issues in their respective sectors.

With the current updating of the city’s Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), various activities were already done in support to and as preparation for the CDP-CLUP’s final draft. Medium-term plans are solicited from different offices of the city government so that it’ll be incorporated in the CDP. Also, Barangay Based Mapping was conducted to gather and validate  information for the said undertaking.

 Social Governance

graph_Social_Governance.png
Source: LGPMS Official Website, November, 2009

The Local Health Board is organized. Members of this body meet as often as possible to formulate policies pertaining to health.

Peace, Security and Disaster Risk Management has the least rating for Social Governance due to certain lapses in the areas of Child Protection and Katarungang Pambarangay. The Local Council for the Protection of Children, though organized, needs to be strengthened: regular meetings should be held. On the other hand, the Katarungang Pambarangay can be enhanced further by providing financial support for its operation and incentives among the Lupong Tagapamaya.

On the bright side, essentials for the service area Disaster Risk Management are all in place especially a working Disaster Risk Management Plan. Also, the service area Peace and Security is in good status with a functioning Peace and Order Council, available sites for protective services and an existing Integrated Area Public Community Public Safety Plan.

In addition, peace and security effort of the city government was augmented with the organization of the Barangay Police Auxiliary (BPAU) in Antipolo City. One hundred forty-three (143) individuals successfully completed the program – a 15-day training at Camp Capinpin, Tanay, Rizal.

In terms of Support to Education Services, Alternative Learning System can be further enhanced with provision of various resources including staff and funds. Nonetheless, all other services with respect to education are given due attention: an active Local School Board, a public library, scholarship programs, repair and maintenance of school buildings, sports development among others.

Efforts of the city government – through the Urban Settlement and Development Office- have alleviated the city’s burden of its informal settlers to a certain level. Implementation of Community Mortgage Programs is continuous as well as the identification of possible relocation sites.

However, the city government needs to enhance its database management on informal settlers, makeshift houses and basic utilities. Given that a database is only as useful as its accuracy and completeness, measures to improve the city’s government information bank is crucial.

 Economic Governance

graph_Economic_Governance.png
Source: LGPMS Official Website, November, 2009

On Agricultural Services, the high rating can be attributed to the significant support in terms of funding coming from the city government in implementing various agricultural extension and on-site research services or facilities, and support infrastructure projects to agriculture such as farm-to-market roads, irrigation systems and post-harvest equipments. Based on the report of the City Budget Office for 2009, twenty-three (23) programs with an aggregate amount of 2.5M (excluding infrastructure projects) are implemented through the City Agriculture Office – the biggest allocation for an office under the economic development sector.

Civil application system to cater the business sector is well in place. Efficient processing of business permits is the main objective of the Business One-Stop Shop (BOSS) Program being implemented by the city government. Transactions and documentary requirements for permit applications were also rationalized through the implementation of the Anti Red Tape Act.

 Environmental Governance

graph_Environmental_Governance.png

Freshwater and Forest Ecosystem Management are integrated in the City’s Comprehensive Development Plan. Medium and long term plans for the preservation and sustainability of identified areas are in place. Area-targets for rehabilitation and protection are already identified.

In addition, a working Forest Land Use Plan is being implemented by the city government through the City Environment and Waste Management Office.

Urban Ecosystem Management is integrated in the City’s Comprehensive Development Plan. Along with other environment protection endeavors such as tree planting activities and clean-up drives, Information Campaigns were done to support City Ordinance 2008-287 “Adopting the Antipolo City’s Solid Waste Management Code (Basura Code)”

However, the Solid Waste Management Board, though organized, needs to be strengthened. The Solid Waste Management Plan, on the other hand, needs to be updated with improved participation coming from the private sector. And lastly, though it is the policy of the city government to put up a Material Recovery Facility in every Barangay as indicated in the city’s investment program, implementation is yet to be done.

 Valuing Fundamentals of Governance

graph_Fundamentals_of_Governance.png

Antipolo City obtained a perfect rating for the service area Transparency. A Public Information Office that provides basic information to the clientele is in place. The office communicates to the public through various media including media coverage, audio/visual presentations, bulletin boards and print media. It was also in this year that the official publication of the city government “Ang Tipulo” made its debut through City Resolution No. 2009-258 as part of the city’s mandate to basically deliver services through massive information campaign. Information desks are also placed at the city hall lobby and the GAD Center. The city government also maintains a website through the Management Information System Division of the General Services Office and the Public Information Office.

Participation of POs, NGOs and the private sector in local governance is reflected with its membership in local special bodies such as the City Development Council, the Local Health Board, the Local School Board and the Peace and Order Council. However, private involvement in these special bodies is generally limited only in planning and policy making stage. Implementation of various programs, projects and activities is a task solely assigned to the city government. To intensify and upgrade public-private partnership in local governance is, nevertheless, an aim of the city government.

Solid Waste Management Board and Local Council for the Protection of Children are not yet organized 20% development fund projects must have NGO participation both in kind or in cash. Hence public participation must be sought by the City Government.

In terms of Financial Accountability, the city government ensures that accounting, internal control, procurement and financial transactions of the organization are in accordance with existing guidelines. A budget hearing for every fiscal year ensures that disbursements are made only for approved purposes. Internal Control, on the other hand, is implemented through the Accounting Office. Financial Statements and financial reports such as the table shown below are also available.

The city’s Bids and Awards Committee, composed of members as prescribed by law, enforces rules and procedures as stated in the Revised Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act 9184 (Government Procurement Reform Act). Despite a relatively high grade on this service area (Financial Accountability) improvements can still be made on some aspects like the automation of financial MIS and the publication of the financial statements in the local media.

 Priority Areas for Attention

Administrative Governance

Social Governance

However, there is still a need to have an inventory of: informal settlers, makeshift houses, sites for potential socialized housing, households with no access to potable water supply, and households with no access to electricity to address and direct the focus of concern for the housing and basic utilities. This must be done on a proactive manner.

 State of Financial Performance

Sound Fiscal Management is one of the areas that the LGU should strengthen. The first source of funding for PPAs shall come from the very own resources of the City. Oftentimes, the funds are not enough that prioritization is essential in project planning. Hence, there is a need to evaluate the present financial standing of the LGU to gauge whether the City is on the right track in terms of revenue generation, allocation and utilization.

This Report provides a practical tool to gauge the LGU’s financial performance as compared to financial performance of all LGUs within the same LGU type and income class. The information lets you know whether the LGU is ahead or lagging behind with many LGUs for purposes of maintaining good performance, or catching up.

Financial performance is divided into two parts: (1) Revenue Generation, and (2) Resource Allocation and Utilization.

Source: LGPMS Official Website, March, 2010

A very low percentage on the cost collection ratio at 0.63% is achieved by the LGU in 2009 compared to the national average of 20.89% and 26.48% of the other LGUs of the same class. The total revenue collected in the first three quarters amounted to PhP 598,210,104.94 as against the cost to collect these taxes amounting to PhP 3,741,968.19.

This is attributed to the efficient technical support and adequate system of tax collection for all kinds of taxes, fees and charges and other receipts being rendered by the City Treasurer’s Office. The Office also provides efficient maintenance, proper supervision and effective management and control of all city government funds in accordance with law, rules and regulations of local government finance in order to provide excellent service to the paying public.

The Local Government of Antipolo gained an exceptional performance in terms of locally sourced revenue collection at 39% compared to the national average of 34.15% and 35.05% for other LGUs of the same type. For the last three quarters of 2009, the LGU collected a total amount of PhP 231,022,763.94 against the total collection of PhP 598,210,104.94. These locally sourced revenues come in the form of receipts, income from the economic enterprises of the City (Cemeteries, Markets, Crematorium etc.), Fees and Charges, Business Permits among others.  

In the final submitted accomplishment report of the City Treasurer’s Office, it will be noted that there was an overall increase of fourteen percent (14%) on revenue collections for the year 2009 as compared to FY 2008.  However, real property tax collections decreased by four percent (4%).  This decrease is attributed to the fact that a great number of taxpayers availed the twenty percent (20%) discount for advance payment which amounted to P1,510,940.16.  Other contributory factors are the condonation of interest for years 2002 and below for those who  settled their arrears and updated their tax payments, and the calamities that hit our country particularly the typhoon “Ondoy”, where taxpayers living in the low lying areas of Antipolo incurred heavy damages on their properties.  Major repairs were done on their houses putting aside payment of real property tax. 

Business taxes registered a modest increase of two percent (2%), Fees and Charges which composed of permit fees, registration fees, clearance and certification fees, hospital, inspection and garbage fees, increased by six percent (6%), collections from economic enterprises increased by twelve percent (12%)  which comprises market collections, parking, slaughterhouses and from cemetery operations, while other taxes and other receipts registered a six percent increase.  Income from external sources like Tobacco Excise and PCSO decreased by sixty eight percent (68%).  Internal Revenue Allotment had a twenty percent (20%) increase.

The total income of Antipolo for the last three quarters of 2009 is PhP 598,210,104.94 composed of the locally sourced revenues including the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA). Again, the LGU has an exceptional performance with a higher average than the national and other LGUs of this type as seen in Figure F.2.

Based from the figure shown above, the City Government should find ways on how to increase its locally source revenues as this proves to be lower by 49.57% compared to the national average and lower by 16.63% compared to the LGUs of the same income class. To date, there are several initiatives of the City Government to augment its come by way of economic enterprise ventures. Among these is the operation of a Multilevel Parking Complex (MLPC), Crematorium, Markets among many others.

    1.5 Locally-Source Revenue per Capita

For 2009, the ratio of the Locally Source Revenue per capita, the LGU has allocated 1:461. On the other hand, the LGU has a population to total income ratio of 1:1,540. It is important to note that these are allocation and not the actual expenditure of the City for the population in need.

Significance:

RPT is one of the major sources of income of LGUs in general. This indicator determines local revenue collection effort on RPT.

Desired Performance:

Should be higher than the average of LGUs w/ the same LGU type & income class

Exceptional Performance:

Should be higher than the: (1) average of  LGUs with the same LGU type & income class, (2) national average of the same LGU type regardless of income class

Source: LGPMS Official Website, March, 2010

In the first three quarters of 2009, an RPT tax collection rate of 73% was attained by the LGU. This is quite low compared to the national average of 92.42% and an 89.81% compared to the LGUs of the same income class.

However, in the over-all collection submitted by the City Treasurer, our actual collection for CY 2009 versus our 2009 Budget Estimates increased by five percent (5%) overall.  Real property tax had a shortfall of thirty five percent (35%), Business tax had a negative twenty five percent (25%), other receipts had a decrease of twelve percent (12%) and Internal Revenue Allotment had a twenty four percent (24%) increase.

Personal Services of the City Government in the first three quarters of 2009 proved to have attained an exceptional performance. Aside from the fact that it has not exceed the ideal budget allocation of 45% as mandated by the Local Government Code, it is also lower than the national average of 38.20% and 38.16% compared to the LGUs of the same income class.

 State of Local Development

The Electronic State of Local Development Report (e-SLDR) is the third report generated by the LGPMS. It is an approximation of the state of socio-economic and environmental development in a locality. The result is based on LGU self-assessment or estimates of key development indicators. National target, average and expert inference are used as benchmarks.

However, due to the implementation of the of LGPMS Version 2 some of the indicators were modified to its specific level compared to version 1, thus some of the data and results during this Performance Year may not be comparable (rating based comparison) to the preceding years.

As presented earlier, we have a very high performance rating in terms of governance. Summing it up, our inputs in terms of policies, organization and management in the four areas of governance are well in place. Based on the results are these inputs enough to lead the City Government of Antipolo to development? To answer this question, below are the generated results of the system in relation to city’s status of development.

 Social Development (3.41), High

Figure D.1 Social Development, Dec. 2009
graph                                                                 

Social Development is determined using quality of life and minimum basic needs indicators. It is affected by both the state of the economy and environmental quality. A productive economy and a clean environment are conducive to the improvement of social welfare in terms of health and nutrition, education, housing and basic utilities, and peace and security.

Figure D.1 is the graphical representation of the state of social development in the City. Time and again, we have focused on giving our constituents the best quality social services our LGU has to offer. Based on the generated report, the City has an excellent performance in terms of State of Peace and Order (5.00) while on the other hand the State of Housing and Basic Utilities (3.78) is the only problem area for social development. Moreover, the State of Health and Nutrition (4.25) and State of Education (4.20) have very high grades. In all, the average rating of the City’s Social Development is 4.31 with a verbal rating of high performance of development; however the LGU could still look into several areas that could make our grade even higher.

a. State of Health and Nutrition (4.25):

The State of Health and Nutrition Services covers the indicators of Percentage of Children below Normal Weights, Morbidity Rate, Crude Death Rate, Maternal Mortality Rate and Children Mortality Rate (under 5 yrs. of age). As you can notice, the indicators are concerning the level of the child care and maternal care condition.    

Generally, this sub-social development area has a high grade and reveals a positive level of condition. This may be attributed to the following conditions:

  1. Children’s Nutrition in general is a guaranty that the City Government of Antipolo provided children a quality health services (the indicator is Percentage of Children below normal weight: 5 yrs. old and below). The City has the rating of 10% (or below) which exceptionally met the Medium Term Physical Development Plan (MTPDP) 2010 Target of 21.6% and against the benchmark provided by the DILG that should not exceed 25%.  (Note: To compute, Number of Children under six (6) yrs. of age with below normal weights ÷ Total number of Children under six (6) yrs. of age, x 100. Source HLURB)
  2. The morbidity rates of the city for the identified leading illnesses, in general, are within acceptable conditions. In terms of collated morbidity rate for specific illnesses such as Tuberculosis, HIV, Malaria, Diarrhea, Hearth Diseases and Dengue Infection: Antipolo City is in between the index of 3-3.99; (Indicator: Morbidity Rate).

2. To compute, (Number of reported cases for each illness ÷ Total number of population as of profile year) x 10,000. Source: HLURB

Table above shows morbidity rating of the city. Based on the reported data from the City Health Office, Diarrhea has the most number of reported cases (7.88) followed by tuberculosis (5.44) and the least is the HIV which has zero (0) reported cases. This shows that the city should give higher attention to the prevention of diarrhea illness though the city’s rate is within the acceptable level. This serves as challenge, at the very least, to keep the rates lower (if zero prevalence is not attainable) than the national targets.

3. Crude Death Rate (indicator) is low. The City’s rate which was generated by the system through the uploaded Data Capture Form (DCF) is 2-3 per 1000 population. As compared to the HLURB benchmark of 4-5 per 1,000 population (Result of the National Average is 4.8 per 1,000 population, based on 2000 census), this result implies a better status of the city compared to the national level. It is “Crude” in a sense that all ages are represented in the rate and does not take into account the variations in risks of dying at particular ages.

As reflected on the table, the crude death rate of the city during the 2009 had decreased. This implies a healthier result compared to the preceding years and against the national level.

4.Infant mortality refers to illness or disease among babies less than one year old. Relative to this, the generated result rate of the city is 6.06 per 1,000 (under the bracket 6-14 per 1,000 live births). Compared to the HLURB benchmark which is 15-17 per 1,000 live births, the city’s infant mortality rate is low. Further, as other supporting details, the city’s result on the said indicator is also lower against the MTPDP 2010 Target which is 17 per 1,000 live births and 2003 National Average of 23 per 1,000 live births (Source: 2003 National Demographic and Health Survey.)

While on the other hand, maternal mortality rate refers to women who died due to pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal, per 1,000 live births during the profile year. The result shows that the city’s situation is better (0.68 per 1,000 live births) than the national situation (benchmark of the MTPDP 2010 is 0.9 per 1,000 population);

Table D.3 shows that during the period of 2007 to 2009, the infant mortality rate of the city had decreased, from 6.31 to 6.06. This implies a better health condition for the city. However, the 3-year status of the maternal mortality of the city shows that the rate had increased to 0.28. This result is not that alarming, yet it is also advised that the city should focused on the Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) that provides health care for mothers under pregnancy, childbirth and post-natal stage to skirt this unfavourable result.

2. To compute the maternal mortality rate, (Total number of deaths from maternal causes ÷ number of live births) x 1,000. MTPDP 2010 Target is 0.9 (converted from 100,000 to 1,000 live births)
Source: 2008 Eco-Profile Antipolo; 2007 & 2008 City’s Annual Report; and CHO 2009 Annual Report.

5.Children Mortality Rate under 5 years old (indicator) has the rating of 12.12 per 1,000 live births against the HLURB benchmark of 30-33 per 1,000 live births. As compared to the MTPDP 2010 Target, 32.24 per 1,000 live births and 2003 National Average, 40 per 1,000 live births, the city’s rate is low. The total number of children’s death in the City is 232. (Note: To compute, Number of Deaths among Children aged 0-4 years old ÷ Total Live births, x 1,000)    

This result shows that the City’s rate is far better than the national situation and that the city sustained programs that ensured child care. Based on the following results, it implies that the city provided and sustained Program, Project and Activities that complements these indicators.

In general under the Social Development, all the indicators such as Children Nutrition, Maternal Mortality, Infant Mortality, Crude Death and Children Mortality are better than the National Average. Its result as compared to the previous years, marked high but not enough to meet the excellent performance. Almost same indicators were met, the difference is that the performance of the city on the same indicators was sustained and improved such as: additional doctors, nurses, midwives; provided addition medical equipments and construction/improvements/rehabilitation of health facilities/utilities provided by the city. Nevertheless, it did not meet the benchmark provided by the national since evidently; the city government cannot meet that benchmark overtime.

However, areas for improvements are still recommended for a better, effective and efficient delivery of health services to the general public that would contribute to an excellent performance of the city for the succeeding years. In terms of the ratio of medical practitioners, still there is a need to increase its quantity since the city has to comply with the prescribed standards in the ratio of medical practitioners with the population.

Table 1.1 illustrates the various standards set by the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) regarding health personnel. Based on the existing number of medical practitioners as of 2009 vis a vis to its 2009 projected population, there is a big shortage of the said health personnel as compared to the standards set by the HLURB.

To date, with the rate of population increase, the City Government of Antipolo is limited in providing the needed medical services, especially to the poor. As shown in the 2010 Projected Deficiency of health personnel of the city, Doctors and Barangay Nutrition Scholars have the highest percentage of deficiency rate which is 97%, next are Nutritionist and Barangay Health Workers have 88% and the third are Nurses which has 85% deficiency rate. The health personnel which has the lowest deficiency rate are the Midwives, got only 15%. However, greater public-private partnership should be established to somehow augment the personnel and medical facilities of the city, and this will also ensure sustainable heath services. To date, the City is already tapping/soliciting private practitioners to render medical services to the City for free.

b. State of Education Services (4.20):

The State of Education Services covers the indicators of Elementary Participation Rate, Elementary Completion Rate, Secondary Completion Rate, Tertiary/Technical Education Rate, and Simple Literacy Rate. The highlight of this support services is that the Elementary Participation and Completion Rate is high. On the other hand, the Secondary Completion Rate is satisfactory.

  1. Under the Elementary Participation Rate, its participation rate is very high which is 103.19%. This is definitely higher than the MTPDP 2010 Target of 93% and exceeds the HLURB benchmark of 92-94%. This shows that the access to primary education is assured by the city.
    • The Elementary Participation Rate is the percentage of children aged from 6-11 years old who are enrolled in Elementary Level against the total population of children who are in the same range of age.
  2. Elementary Completion Rate (indicator) is the percentage of pupils who completed their elementary education, both in private and public schools against the total number of pupils who were enrolled six years from the profile year. The Completion Rate is 90.9% which is higher than the MTPDP 2010 Target of 78%. Also, against the benchmark set by the HLURB of 78-88%, the city’s elementary completion rate exceeds its target which implies a better result.
  3. Secondary Completion Rate (indicator) is the percentage of students who completed their secondary education, both in private and public schools against the total number of high school students who enrolled four years ago based on the profile year. Based on the generated data by the system, the secondary completion rate of 77.3%, which satisfactory met the National 2010 Target of 71-84%. 
  4. Tertiary or Technical Education Rate (indicator) is the condition of higher education in the locality whether there are more residents who completed either tertiary or technical education. More than 75% of the population completed the tertiary or technical education against the HLURB benchmark of 75%.
  5. Simple Literacy Rate (indicator) is the percentage of population 10 (ten) years old and over, who can read, write and understand simple messages in Filipino, English or local dialect. The literacy rate of the city is very high which is 98.21% (benchmark: 92-94%). The result definitely exceeds the national Average of 92-94% (2000 census). However, even the result of this support services is very high, the city still needs to improve and sustain the quality of the established Alternative Learning System.

c. State of Housing and Basic Utilities (3.78):

The State of Housing and Basic Utilities covers the indicators of Percentage of Non-owner households, Percentage of Squatters/informal Dwellers, Percentage of Households with Makeshift Houses; In/Outside Metro Manila and HUCs (Highly Urbanized Cities)/non- HUCs: Percentage of Households w/ access to Pipe-In Water (level III) supply for LGUs, Percentage of Households w/ Sanitary Toilet facility for LGUs, Percentage of Households w/ Electricity for LGUs.

  1. Non-Owners Households (indicator) is the percentage of households who do not own houses out of the total number of households on the locality. The City has the just met benchmark of 25-34% which means that the extent of house and lot ownership is quite high.
  2. Squatters/Informal Dwellers (indicator) is the percentage of households who settle on public or private lands without titles, rights or owners’ consent. The City’s rating falls under 15-20% which indicates a manageable result as against the benchmark of 21% (should not be lower). However, decisive actions to address this problem is desired.
  3. Households with Makeshift Houses (indicator) are the percentage of households who live in makeshift houses (house made of salvaged or improved materials) out of the total number of households of the city. The generated data falls under 2% or below but not zero (0), the magnitude is lower than the national situation which is 2.04% (Source: PIDS). Yet, according to HLURB benchmark, this condition should not exist.
  4. Households with No Access to Piped-In Water (Level III: is a full waterworks system with individual house connections) supply for LGUs in Metro Manila & HUCs. It is the percentage of households with access to piped-in water (level III) water supply out of the total number of households.
    • The generated data of the city falls under 85-90% which shows that it satisfactory met the benchmark (should be at least 85%). This implies that many households have an easy access to piped-in water supply. Based on research, there are great consumers’ demands for level III water supply service regardless of economic status and geographical location but only few households are served with such service especially those outside Metro Manila and other highly urbanized cities (Source: LGPMS-DCF 2009). Relative to this, the city is very fortunate to have attained level III in the provision of water services in partnership with the Manila Water. However, 100% of water service coverage is the next target of the city for the succeeding years.
  5. Households with Sanitary Toilet Facility for LGUs in Metro Manila and HUCs are the percentage of households w/ sanitary toilet facility out of the total number of households in the city.
    • The city’s rating is 91-96%, this situation is slightly better than the 2010 National Target of 91%. It means that water population due to domestic wastes and its effect to public health is somewhat less threatening. However, if we look into the benchmark set by the HLURB that the said indicator should not be lower than 97% for LGUs in Metro Manila & HUCs and against the 2010 Target for Urban Areas of 96%, this result is somewhat alarming and should be given focused.  This development will not only contribute to the development of services under housing and basic utilities, it is also parallel for the development of the cleanliness of the community
  6. Households with Electricity for LGUs in Metro Manila & HUCs are the percentage of households with electricity out the total number of households in the city.
    • The city’s rating falls under 94-97%, this situation is better than the 2001 National Average for Urban Areas which is 92.1% (Source: NSO, Poverty Indicator Survey). Further, as compared to the HLURB Benchmark exceeds the target which should be greater than 90% for LGUs in Metro Manila & HUCs.  
  7. Households with Access to Piped-in Water (level III) Supply for LGUs outside Metro Manila & Non-HUCs are the percentage of households with access to piped-in (level III) water supply out of the total number of households in the city.
    • Majority of the households have easy access to water supply (piped-in). Evident is the result of the generated data of the city which is above 70%. This situation is far better than most of the LGUs outside Metro Manila & non-HUCs, against the benchmark of 35%. In addition, based on the 2001 National Average for both urban and rural areas, its rating is 34.3% which definitely shows that the City of Antipolo exceptionally exceeds the national targets.
  8. Households with Sanitary Toilet Facility for LGUs outside Metro Manila and non-HUCs are the percentage of households with sanitary facility against the total number of households in the city.
    • The city’s rating falls under 97-100% against the benchmark which should be at least 86% and 2010 National target of 86% for rural areas (Source DOH). This implies that the city’s situation is far better than the target for rural areas or the benchmark for LGUs outside Metro Manila and non-HUCs. The water pollution due to domestic waste and its effect to public health is not an issue.
  9. Households with Electricity for LGUs outside Metro Manila & non-HUCs are the percentage of households with electricity out of the total number of households within the city.
    • The city’s rating falls under 91-100% which shows that its condition is far better against the benchmark which should be higher than 78%% for LGUs outside Metro Manila set by the HLURB & non-HUCs; and 2001 National Average of 79% for rural areas (Source: NSO, Poverty Indicator Survey).

For better delivery of services under this area, the City of Antipolo through the Urban Settlement and Development Office (USDO) should have an updated inventory of informal settlers, makeshift houses, sites for potential socialized housing, households’ access to piped-in water and electricity. Through this data, the city will be able to formulate PPAs that will resolve the problem and will contribute to the city’s development and excellent performance.  

d. State of Peace and Order (5.00):

The State of Peace and Order Services covers the indicators of Incidence of Index Crime and Incidence of Non-Index Crime.   

Generally, this sub-social development area has an excellent performance and reveals a positive level of condition. This may be attributed to the following conditions:

  1. Incidence of Index Crime (indicator) refers to those violations of the penal code considered having socio-economic significance and occurs with sufficient regularity. This includes crimes versus persons (murder, homicide, physical injury and rape), and crimes versus property (robbery and theft).

The incidence of index of crime for this year such as murder, homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery and theft are very low which is 0.13% (less than 1) per 10,000 population. As compared to the benchmark of 5-6 per 10,000 population and to the 2005 national Average of 5.26 per 10,000 population (Source: NSCB), the city indeed exceptionally exceeds the target.

Table D.5 shows that during the year 2009, there are 96 total index crime and 82 of which were solved. This shows that there is an 85% index crime solution efficiency. In 2008, the index crime was 121, and 115 of which were solved. This shows that there is a 95% index solution efficiency. Comparing the two profile year as against the benchmark set by the national, profile year 2009 the incidence of crime is very low which is 0.13% against 0.18% for the profile year 2008, which implies a positive result.

Note: To compute, total number of index crime over the projected population as of profile year, x 1,000.

2.Incidence of Non-Index Crime (indicator) refers to all other crimes not classified as index crimes. These are mostly composed of victimless offenses (e.g. crimes national security, crimes against fundamental laws of state, crimes against public order, crimes against public morals, and violation of special laws). Non-index crimes include illegal gambling, illegal possession of firearms, carnapping, illegal drugs, kidnapping, serious illegal detention, and smuggling, among others.

Table D.6 shows that the city’s incidence of non-index crime for the year 2009 has a low rating of 0.12% compared to 0.18% for the year 2008. Moreover, in terms of solution efficiency, both profile years have 100% solution crime efficiency.

This result, as compared to the national benchmark which is 3-4 per 10,000, the result is very low which shows that the peace and order of the city is well in place and performed.

 Economic Development (3.34), Fair

Figure D.2 Economic Development, Dec. 2009

 

Economic development is determined by indicators of employment and income. Economic activities have the capacity to greatly affect the quality of the environment. Well-managed economic growth does not pollute the environment and does not destructively exploit and irreversibly damage natural resources.

Figure D.2 is the graphical representation of the state of economic development in the City. Based on the generated report, the city has only fair performances for both indicators. In terms of State of Employment 3.00 and for the State of Income 3.67 and in general the city performance in terms of Economic Development is fair which has a numerical rating of 3.34.

Relative to the result, how did the city perform in this area that resulted in, a fair rating? What are the reasons behind this result?   

a. State of Employment (3.00):

The State of Employment covers the indicators of Unemployment Rate and Underemployment Rate.

  1. Unemployment Rate (indicator). Unemployed persons include all those, who during the reference year are 15 years old and over as of their last birthday, who have no jobs or business and are actively looking for work. Also considered unemployed are persons without jobs or businesses who are reported not looking for work because of their belief that no work was available or because of temporary illnesses or disabilities and whether, pending job applications or waiting for job interviews.
    • Based on the result of the generated data, the city’s rating falls above 10% (14,793 total number of applicants) against the national benchmark which should not be higher that 7% and the National Average of 6.3% (Source: Labor Force,  NSO, Oct, 07 Survey), which means that the unemployment rate of the city is alarming. (To compute, Total number of unemployed persons ÷ Total number of Persons in Labor Force, x 100. Labor Force refers to population 15 years old and above who either employed or unemployed).
  2. Underemployment Rate (indicator). Underemployed are persons aged 15 years old and above who are presently employed but still looking for additional work. Based on the generated result, the city’s rating falls below 5% which means that the underemployment rate is low, against the national benchmark which should not be higher that 20% and to the National Average of 18.1% (Source: Labor Force, NSO, Oct. 07 Survey). The result implies that the persons employed within the city are satisfied on their present work and to their employer. Also, in parallel with this, the employees are work productive since they are contented with their works; this contributes a positive effect to the employer and to the city’s development.
    • In general, under the State of Employment Rate, the City should improve the services concerning this area to achieve an excellent performance and to provide the constituents more job.

DEF is the conduct of referral and placement activities. Referral is the process of directing pre-screened job applicants to employers (companies/agencies) with job vacancies matching their qualifications, while placement is the result of a successful referral.

LRA/PRA is a employment strategy which brings together in one venue, an employer (company/agency) and job applicants for immediate job matching.

Job Fair (Mega & Mini) is another employment approach which brings together in one venue, numerous employers (companies/agencies) and job applicants for immediate job matching.

Job Vacancies Solicited (JVS) – Referred as the job openings/vacancies actually solicited by the PESO from employer (companies/agencies).

Job Applicants Registered (JAR) – Referred to as the actual number of job applicants personally availed of the employment facilitation service activity of PESO.

Job Applicants Referred (JARef) – Referred to as the number of job applicants referred to companies/agencies by job classification.

Job Applicants Placed (JAP) – Referred to as the number of job applicants successfully placed or employed through PESO referrals.

LEG has inclined or increased by 100% or by a number of Seventeen (17) student-beneficiaries.

In general, under the State of Employment Rate, the City should improve the services concerning this area to achieve an excellent performance and to provide the constituents more job.  The Unemployment Rate is one of the contributors for the low performance of the city. This is an indicator that is prevalent not only in the City of Antipolo but throughout the country. Strengthened Livelihood Programs is one answer to this problem. A baseline data of available skills should also be studied to determine the capacity of the populace for skills matching.

b. State of Income (3.67):

The State of Income covers the indicators of Poverty Incidence for LGUS in Metro Manila & HUCs, Income Per Capita and Poverty Incidence for LGUs outside Metro Manila & non-HUCs.

  1. Poverty Incidence for LGUs in Metro Manila & HUCs (indicator). Poverty incidence means that the per capita income is less than the per capita poverty threshold. Poverty threshold is the minimum income required   to meet the basic food and non-food requirements 
    • The city’s rating falls under 7-10% which shows that it only met the national benchmark of 7-10%. This shows that the condition of the city with regards to poverty incidence is quite low.
  2. Income per Capita (indicator) which falls under the rating of 36,000-50,000 per year is a little higher than the calculated national average of Php 34,600 (Source: 2006 data, NSO).
  3. While on the other hand, the condition of the city regarding poverty incidence outside Metro Manila & non-HUCs, it is relatively low which has the numerical rating of 10-25%. This condition did not again meet the benchmark of 26-35% and the National Average of 26.9% (2006 Poverty Statistics, NSCB). 

The city’s vision is to be the Pilgrimage City with Globally Competitive Economy, based on the CDP, there are identified various primary growth centers.  As the primary growth center in the province of Rizal, Antipolo is a city which has no shortage in economic opportunities. Its urban area is home to middle and high-end residential areas and subdivisions which cater to locals and migrants from the nearby municipalities of Rizal and Metro Manila. It also has an abundance of commercial and financial establishments which offer all the services and amenities you would expect in a highly urbanized city.

In the rural areas of the City, there exists a robust agricultural and livestock sector which provides food security while acting as a buffer for urban development. Antipolo’s mineral resources attract mining and quarrying companies while the city’s growing industrial and manufacturing sector is known for its garments and handicrafts which cater to the domestic and international market. The city’s commercial sector has seen the increase in retail and service enterprises to cater to the needs of the residents of Antipolo and its neighboring municipalities.  Lastly, the city has the motto “Tayo na sa Antipolo (Let’s go to Antipolo)” which is the driving force behind its tourism sector as a pilgrimage city, festival setting, eco-tourism destination and conference or convention venue.

 Environmental Development (3.25), Fair

Figure D.3 Environmental Development, Dec. 2009

Source: LGPMS Official Website, November, 2009

Environmental development is determined using environmental quality indicators such as the land, air and water quality and natural resources indicators describing agricultural, forest and aquatic resources productivity. The result depends on the type of ecosystem in the LGU.

The generated result with regards to the City’s Environmental Development is 3.25 which have an adjective rating of Fair. In detailed, there are four states of ecosystem: State of Urban Ecosystems (3.25), State of Agriculture Ecosystem (3.92), State of Forest Ecosystems (2.23) and State of Freshwater Ecosystems (3.50). Below are various indicators that attributed to this result:

a. State of Urban Ecosystems (3.25)

The State of Urban Ecosystem covers the indicators of Percentage of Trees covers in Urban Areas (cities & town centers), Percentage of Polluting Industries, Absence of smog, odor & noise in urban areas (cities & town centers), and Presence of Solid Waste heapson roadsides & vacant lots & in urban lands (cities & town centers).

  1. Percentage of tree cover in urban areas-cities & town centers (indicator). The city’s condition based on this indicator is that the forest areas are somewhat sufficient; 10-20% which falls below the benchmark (should be at least 20%, based on Local Development watch Manual). Based on the records of City Waste Management Office (CEWMO), there are three (3) or more cases of illegal logging which contributes for this low performance.
  2. Percentage of Polluting Industries-cities & town centers (indicator). Industries include commercial poultry and piggeries and manufacturing industries (agricultural-processing, chemical, electronic, metal, cement, etc). The city’s condition under this indicator is stable and has a better air quality, since based on the records of the CEWMO all the industries that operates within the city has their pollution control facilities though there are minor incidence of pollution occurring alongside water bodies.
  3. Absence of smog, odor, & noise in urban areas-cities & town centers (indicator). The city has few cases of smog, occasional odor & slightly disturbing noise level which show that the benchmark (absence of smog & noise in cities or urban areas) was not met. This implies that the air quality is realtively at stake and uncomfortable.
  4. Presence of solid waste heaps on roadsides & vacant lots & in urban lands-cities & town centers (indicator). The city has the presence of solid waste heaps which are observed in some parts and sites along roadsides and vacant lots. The presence of squatters within the lakeside or riverside contributes to the low percentage in this area.

b. State of Agricultural Ecosystems (3.92)

State of Agricultural Ecosystem includes the indicators of the Percentage of Irrigated Land Total Irrigable Lands, Percentage of Prime Lands Converted to Non-agricultural uses for HUCs and ICCs, Percentage of Prime Lands converted to Non-agricultural uses for CCs & 1st-3rd Class Municipalities and Crop Yield.

  1. Percentage of Irrigated Land to Total Irrigable Lands (indicator). There is 51-80% of Irrigated Land to Total Irrigable Lands in the City. As compared to the nationals benchmark of 40-80% and to the National Average of 46% (Source: Status of Irrigation Dev’t, NIA Dec. 06), the city needs much effort on agricultural land development since the city only met the set benchmark.
  2. Percentage of Prime Lands converted to Non-Agricultural uses for HUCs and ICCs (indicator).  Prime Agricultural Lands refer to lands that can be used for various or specific agricultural activities and can provide optimum and sustainable yield with a minimum of inputs and development cost as determined by the DA  (Source: Administrative Order No. 363, s. 1997, Prescribing Guidelines for the Protection of Areas Non-Negotiable for Conversion and Monitoring Compliance with Section 20 of the Local Government Code.
    • The generated data of the city is in between 15% or below against the benchmark set of the national which should not be higher than 15% (Source: Section 20, LGC of 1991), which evidently shows that the benchmark was met. Based on the result, prime agricultural land is sustained. 
  3. Percentage of Prime Lands converted to Non-Agricultural Uses for CCs & 1st-3rd class municipalities. The prime agricultural land of the city is sustained based on the generated result which falls between 10% or below, against the benchmark that should not be higher than 10% (Source: Section 20, LGC of 1991).
  4. Crop Yield (indicator). There are three (3) major crops produced by the city, mango (within national average), banana (within national average) and rice irrigated (above national average). The generated result of the city falls between the indexes of 3-3.99, which means that the crop production indicates average agricultural productivity. As compared to the benchmark of 3 (index), which means that average yield crops reached the national average for crop production (Reference: Crop Statistics of the Philippines, Bureau of Agricultural Statistics, Dept. of Agriculture, August 2007)

c. State of Forest Ecosystems (2.33)

State of Forest Ecosystem includes the indicators of Forest Cover, Presence of Illegal Occupants in Forest Land and Incidence of Illegal Logging.

  1. Forest Cover (indicator). The forest cover of the city remains to about 50-75% of the forest land compared to the benchmark which should not be lower that 50%% (Source: Local Development Watch). This implies that its forest is fairly preserved.
  2. Presence of Illegal Occupants in Forest Land (indicator). In the city’s condition, presence illegal occupants (other dwellers and indigenous people) in the forest are visible in the forest land (Benchmark: No Illegal Occupants in Forest Land, Reference: Local Watch Development). As s result, forest resources and wildlife habitat are at risk.   
  3. Incidence of Illegal Logging (indicator). There are one (1) to two (2) cases of large-scale illegal logging in the city (Benchmark: No incidence of illegal logging, Reference: Local Development Watch), which shows that the forest resources and wildlife are at risk. The result is quite and quite alarming that the LGU should give focus into.

d. State of Freshwater Ecosystems (3.50)

State of Freshwater Ecosystem includes the indicators of Fish Catch, Presence of Polluting Industries in Riverside or Lakeside, Freshwater Quality and Extent of Riverside or lakeside squatters.

  1. Fish Catch in River or Lake (indicator). Based on the DCF of the city, the quantity of fish catch in river or lake remains the same for the last five (5) years. This shows that the freshwater productivity is in average level (Benchmark: should be stable or increasing, Reference: Local Development Watch)
  2. Presence of Polluting Industries (indicator). Based on the city’s DCF, there are one (1) or more industries which have no pollution control facilities. This implies that presence of polluting industries in the riverside/lakeside is visible (Benchmark: All industries should have pollution control, Reference: Local Development Watch).
  3. Freshwater Quality (indicator). The city’s water is clear, without water lilies and/or floating wastes which mean that the quality of freshwater is unpolluted (Benchmark: Water should be clear, without lilies and or/ floating wastes, Reference: Local Development Watch).
  4. Extent of Riverside or Lakeside Squatters (indicator). The city has 2-5 houses per km. stretch on riverside (Benchmark: should not be more than 20, Reference: Local Development Watch). This condition implies that the probability of pollution load in freshwater areas is low due to the minimal number of squatter houses which contributes domestic wastes.

 Priority Areas for Improvement

Environmental Development

Since the air environment is a shared environment, a polluting entity can affect the air of adjacent areas.  Though there are no cases of factories polluting the City, utmost monitoring is recommended so that none will exist even in the future.  Dust particles coming from quarrying and cement plants may also be a potential cause of concern to the residents of the city.  Although vehicle emissions have not reached an alarming rate, congested areas may be suffering local air quality problems.

Much effort on agricultural land development & high possibility to increase agricultural land productivity should be given focus. Antipolo is within the benchmark of 40%-80% in terms of irrigated lands to total irrigable lands. Though there are incidences of agricultural land classification, prime agricultural land is still being sustained as the LGU average is within benchmark of less than 15%.

The results of the LGPMS shows a forest that is fairly preserved falling within a benchmark of not lower than 50% in terms of forest cover. There are encroachments in the forestlands due to the presence of other dwellers in addition to community forest workers and traditional or indigenous people. Likewise, there are still cases of illegal logging in the City’s forestlands.

Antipolo City’s freshwater ecosystem consists of the surface waters and groundwater found within the city. The City has an average freshwater productivity as the fish catch in rivers or lake remains the same. However, its productivity may be endangered in the future because there are industries located within the vicinity of river systems that have no pollution control facilities.

State of Agricultural Ecosystem includes the indicators of the Percentage of Irrigated Land Total Irrigable Lands, Percentage of Prime Lands Converted to Non-agricultural uses for HUCs and ICCs, Percentage of Prime Lands converted to Non-agricultural uses for CCs & 1st-3rd Class Municipalities and Crop Yield.

The generated data of the city is in between 15% or below against the benchmark set of the national which should not be higher than 15% (Source: Section 20, LGC of 1991), which evidently shows that the benchmark was met. Based on the result, prime agricultural land is sustained. 

State of Forest Ecosystem includes the indicators of Forest Cover, Presence of Illegal Occupants in Forest Land and Incidence of Illegal Logging.

State of Freshwater Ecosystem includes the indicators of Fish Catch, Presence of Polluting Industries in Riverside or Lakeside, Freshwater Quality and Extent of Riverside or lakeside squatters.

Antipolo City’s freshwater ecosystem consists of the surface waters and groundwater found within the city. The City has an average freshwater productivity as the fish catch in rivers or lake remains the same. However, its productivity may be endangered in the future because there are industries located within the vicinity of river systems that have no pollution control facilities.
