The negative growth rates of these barangays should not be considered alarming. These may be caused by inter-barangay movements since the areas of the barangays are small. For instance, residents from Talaba IV, V, and VII may have transferred to Talaba II, III, and IV. The inter-barangay movements may be due to personal reasons such as feeling of congestion, desire to build a new house from an extended family house, etc. 2.1.4 Population Density

2.2. LAND USE

2.2.1. Land Area Bacoor is at the northern tip of the Province of Cavite. It lies approximately 15 kilometers southwest of the center of Manila, and about 27 kilometers from Trece Martires City, the provincial capital. It is situated along the Manila Bay and separated by Zapote River on its eastern boundary from the city of Las Pias, and the Imus River on its western boundary. It is bounded on the west by the municipalities of Imus and Kawit, on the south by the municipality of Dasmarias, on the north by Bacoor Bay, and on the east by the cities of Las Pias and Muntinlupa. The poblacion is located inland on the northernmost part of the municipality and lies along Bacoor Bay. The municipality covers a total area of approximately 4,397.79 hectares. Its terrain ranges from plain to slightly rolling. The west and the east sides are traversed by Imus and Zapote Rivers and both provide salt water for Bacoors salt farms that double as fishponds during the rainy season. During the wet season, water flowing from the old dams and thus filling up existing creeks serves as natural irrigation for the municipality. The provincial road, which is traversed by municipal and barangay roads linking all barangays of Bacoor, intersects the national road or the Aguinaldo Highway, running north to south from Bacoor to Tagaytay City. Formerly noted for its salt beds, Bacoor today is a bustling commercial and business center. Bacoor has a total of 73 barangays, of which 10 are coastal and 63 are inland barangays. 2.2.2 Topography
Physiography and Slopes The topography of Bacoor is characterized by a plain to slightly rolling terrain. Slope grade of zero to three percent (0 - 3%) covers almost the entire area of Bacoor. Map 2.1 shows the slope map. Maps 2.2 and 2.3 reflect the land system map and the geological map, respectively.

Soil Type According to the Bureau of Soils and Water Management (BSWM), the soil types found in Bacoor differ from one another only in the texture of the surface soil. The different soil types are: Hydrosol; Guadalupe Clay; Guadalupe Clay Adobe; Guadalupe Silt Loam; Obando Sand; and Carmona Clay Loam. The famous Cavite Hydrosol and Obando Sand consisting of the submerged soils of the swamps could be easily converted into fishponds and saltbeds. The rest are good types of soil suitable for rice production purposes. Climate and Rainfall Bacoor has two pronounced seasons, dry from January to May and wet for the rest of the year. The average total rainfall in a year is 1,683.8 mm. The wettest month is August with an average rainfall of 460.5 mm. while the driest is February with an average rainfall of 2.1mm. The average total number of rainy days in a year is 107 days. Bacoor has reported an average annual temperature of 27.7 C. The hottest month is April with monthly average temperature of 34.4 C. The coldest month is December with monthly average temperature of 23.6 C. Hydro-Geology The municipality of Bacoor has many rivers, creeks, and other tributaries. The Zapote River traverses barangays Zapote, Aniban, Ligas, San Nicolas and Molino on the eastern boundary. One tributary to Zapote River runs across the barangays of Zapote and Talaba while another tributary of the same river goes out directly to Bacoor by traversing barangays Zapote, Talaba and Maliksi. The Molino River that comes all the way from the Dasmarias area spills into the Zapote River in the area of barangay San Nicolas. The Imus River, on the other hand, traverses barangays Sineguelasan, Banalo, Mabolo, Salinas, Real and parts of Molino on the western boundary. Bacoor River traverses barangays Alima, Banalo, Mabolo, Daang Bukid, Habay and other parts of Panapaan. Creeks and Rivers Bacoor has many rivers, creeks, and other tributaries. The Zapote River passes through Barangays Zapote, Aniban, Ligas, San Nicolas, and Molino on the eastern boundary of Bacoor. One tributary to the Zapote River runs across the Zapote River and the Talaba area while another tributary of the same river goes out directly to Bacoor Bay by traversing Barangays Zapote, Talaba, and Maliksi. The Molino River which comes all the way from the Dasmarias area (meeting with the Don Cella River at the Molino Dam), spills into the Zapote River in the area of Barangay San Nicolas. Ilat Creek is another tributary to the Zapote River which also comes all the way from the Dasmarias area. The Zapote River serves as the boundary between Las Pias and Bacoor and consequently, between Metro Manila and Cavite.
II -17
The Molino Dam is fed by two river systems: the Don Cella River which drains the eastern portion of the upper watersheds, and the Molino River which drains the western portion of the upper watershed. Spills from the Molino Dams major spillway flow through creek system and joins Zapote River in San Nicolas. Several discharge gates of the dam discharge waters to other creek system within Bacoor previously intended for agriculture. On the other hand, the Imus River traverses Barangays Sineguelasan, Banalo, Mabolo, Salinas, Real and parts of Molino on the western boundary. It serves as the boundary between the municipalities of Imus and Bacoor on the western side. Imus River runs all the way from the foothills of Tagaytay City, crossing portions of Silang, Dasmarias, Imus and Bacoor until it discharges finally to Bacoor Bay. Within Bacoor, its major tributary is the Bacoor River (also known as Mestizo River), which drains areas of Barangays Alima, Banalo, Mabolo, Daang Bukid, Habay and other parts of Panapaan. The Daang Bukid Creek, which is a tributary of Bacoor River, traverses many coastal barangays such as barangays Alima, Campo Santo, Daang Bukid, Dulong Bayan, Kaingin and Maliksi. The Imus River has many other tributaries throughout the town. Maps 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6 show the surface water map, drainage map, and infiltration map of Bacoor, respectively. Watersheds The watersheds of the major surface waters found in Bacoor are those that feed the Imus, Bacoor, and Zapote Rivers referred to as the Imus River Watershed, Bacoor River Watershed and the Zapote River Watershed, respectively. The Imus Watershed covers areas at the mouth of the Imus River at its discharge point in Bacoor Bay and stretches southward to the foothills of the elevated areas of Tagaytay City. It drains portions within the municipalities of Imus, Bacoor, Dasmarias, Silang, Amadeo and Tagaytay City totaling around 60.84 km2. The Bacoor River Watershed which lies in the middle portion of Bacoor has an approximate area of 26.63 km2 covering the lower areas consisting of the coastal barangays and southern barangays. Some of Bacoor Rivers tributaries cross the municipal boundary with Dasmarias. However, its extent narrows as some of the waters drains into other adjacent watersheds. The Zapote River Watershed has a total land area of 37.53 km2 consisting of areas drained by Zapote River (approximately 22.52 km2) and areas drained by the Molino Dam River Systems (approximately 15.01 km2). The Zapote River drains areas of Bacoor, Las Pias, Muntinlupa and the northern portions of Gen. Mariano Alvarez. The watershed of the Molino Dam River System drains the southern portion of Bacoor and the middle portions of Dasmarias. Combining all these watershed areas feeding the surface waters flowing into Bacoor, the aggregate watershed area totals approximately 125 km2.

If a typical strong storm drops around 10 inches of rain or 254 mm. in one day, around 31,750,000 cubic meter of water flows into the surface waters and has a potential of flooding Bacoor up to 61 cm. or 2 feet of water. If this floodwater accumulates in the northern and coastal barangays and with a rough ratio of low lying areas, say 40%, to those in higher elevations, the estimated flooding potential in low areas will be around 5 ft. Map 2.7 shows the watersheds of Bacoor. 2.2.3. Existing Land Uses With the advent of urbanization, much has changed in the land uses of the municipality of Bacoor. Within a span of almost 20 years, the municipality has largely lost its agrofishery base for residential, commercial, institutional and industrial purposes. Map 2.8 shows the existing land use of Bacoor. Table 2.5 below shows the areal distribution of existing land uses. Table 2.5.

The residential area has increased over the years, due to the conversion of agricultural land into residential uses resulting from increased demand for urban land brought about by high population growth. Most subdivisions located on the northern portion of Bacoor are developed for high- and medium- cost housing while those located on the southern portion are mostly for medium- and low-cost housing. There are also residential lots that were left undeveloped or abandoned by developers. Total residential area is estimated at 4,032.61 hectares or 86.29% of the municipalitys total area. Commercial Area Commercial activities cover an area of 91.95 hectares (1.97% of total area). Commercial establishments intersperse the residential areas scattered in different barangays of the municipality. These commercial uses are found in Mabolo 1; Dulong Bayan; Habay 1-2; Salinas 4; Real 1; Panapaan 1,2,4,5,6,7,8; Niog 1,2,3; Talaba 2,3,5,6,7; Zapote 1,3,4,5; Aniban 1,4; Kaingin; Digman; Tabing Dagat; Alima; Mambog 4; San Nicolas 3; Bayanan; and Molino 1,2,3,5 Major commercial activities lie along Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo Highway, and the highways of Tirona, Evangelista, Molino and Talaba-Zapote. The main commercial centers can be found in the intersection of Tirona and Aguinaldo Highways (where SM City Bacoor is located) and in the Aguinaldo Highway Extension leading to Zapote, Las Pias City. Institutional Area Institutional areas consist of lands which presently house the government, academic and religious institutions as well as other structures catering to the provisions of public services and needs. This covers 23.30 hectares (0.50% of total area). Institutional facilities are situated in the following barangays: Molino 1,2,4,5,7; Queens Row Central; Mambog 3; Bayanan; San Nicolas 2; Real 1; Ligas 2; Panapaan 1,2,3,5,7; Dulong Bayan; Salinas 1; Mabolo 1; Siniguelasan; Banalo; Alim; Campo Santo; Tabing Dagat; Digman; Maliksi 1,2,3; Niog 2; Aniban 1,2; Talaba 6; and Zapote 3,4. Industrial Area Industrial activities cover an area of 42.88 hectares (0.92%). Bacoor has existing industrial warehouses that are scattered in different areas such as along the Tirona Highway and Aguinaldo Highway. The towns industrial activities are concentrated in Niog 3. Agri-Fishery Area Agri-fishery areas include all ricelands and other productive agricultural lands and water bodies or fishponds. Based on 2001 GIS maps, Bacoor has 198.24 hectares devoted to agri-fishery (41.24% of total area). Agricultural uses are located in Maliksi 1,2,3; Kaingin; Panapaan 3; Talaba 1,2; Mabolo 2; Dulong Bayan; Habay 1; Alima; and San Nicolas 1,2.
II -25
Open Grassland On the southern part of the municipality, vast grasslands can be found. This area totals 264.30 hectares, covering 5.66% of the total land area of Bacoor. Grasslands are found in Siniguelasan; Daang Bukid; Campo Santo; Habay 1; Salinas 1; Ligas 3; Niog 3; San Nicolas 1,2; Bayanan; Molino 2; and Mambog 4. Cemetery Cemeteries cover an area of 19.82 hectares (0.42%). Cemeteries are found in Molino 2; Ligas 2; Digman; Kaingin; and Panapaan 7. 2.2.4 Urban Form Urban form in the municipality follows the typical town under the Spanish colonial government where the government and religious structures are adjacent to each other in the poblacion. The urban area in Bacoor is characterized by a relatively high concentration of population. The poblacion area includes the barangays of Alima, Campo Santo, Digman, Daang Bukid and Tabing Dagat. The poblacion wherein buildings occupy almost every available space is the most densely populated area in the municipality. The main street, Evangelista Street, is very narrow, intersected by much narrower streets with no sidewalks for pedestrians. There are not enough parking spaces on both sides of the streets. 2.2.5 Environmentally-Constrained Areas
Environmentally-constrained areas refer to areas subject to natural or environmental hazards such as earthquakes, typhoons, tsunamis, volcanic eruption, flooding or landslides. It also pertains to proclaimed catchments and areas declared as Network of Protected Agricultural Areas for Development (NPAAD) and Strategic Agricultural and Fishery Development Zone (SAFDZ) where there are regulations, management plans or covenants on land use. These areas may be used but must not be subjected to damaging or degrading impacts. In Bacoor, portions of San Nicolas 1 and 2 have been declared as a SAFDZ (Map 2.9). These portions are currently planted to seasonal crops such as corn, vegetables, and palay. Areas subject to natural hazards include weather-related hazards, earthquake-induced hazards and those subject to volcanic hazards. As regards fault lines, these are areas where lateral or vertical displacement/movement is still likely to occur. Episodic movements along these active fault lines can cause earthquakes, which may result to the destruction of property and loss of lives. Areas subject to typhoon hazards cover the municipality, especially the coastal barangays, and the entire province as a whole. Typhoons occasionally visit the province in a seasonal distribution. Flood prone areas in the municipality include all barangays except Barangays Queens Row and Molino. Also, Barangays Banalo, Sineguelasan, Alima 1, Maliksi 1 and 2, Tabing Dagat, Talaba 1 and 2 and Zapote 5 are prone to moderate seasonal flooding during high tides when the clogged rivers and their tributaries could not handle the swelling waters.

Land Use Potentials/Advantages
Compact Urban Structure The city has a relatively compact structure that: a) allows for efficient service delivery and use of infrastructure; b) encourages pedestrian movements; and c) creates a well-defined urban image. New and Pipeline Infrastructure Projects New and pipeline infrastructure projects include the following:

Construction of the Molino Boulevard to serve as an alternate route for Molino Road Road Widening of the Tirona Highway Construction of Bus Way to serve as an alternate for Aguinaldo Highway Extension of the Light Railway Transit (LRT) Construction of Zapote-Coastal-Tanza Road Construction of Tanza-Muntinlupa Road
These projects are intended to ease decongestion affecting the traffic network in the area. These projects will also strengthen Bacoors role as the gateway to Cavite, serving as an important physical link between the industrial and tourism areas of Cavite and Metro Manila. 2.2.7 Land Use Issues
Need to Manage CBD Growth The growth of the central business district (CBD) has to be managed so that future growth is accommodated. CBD expansion areas have to be defined to avoid or minimize haphazard developments that conflict with adjacent uses or cannot be supported by existing and future infrastructure and services. Need for Density Controls Given the fast growth of the municipality, some form of control over development densities are needed since these will affect the demand for infrastructure, utilities, services, and the overall quality of the environment. Need for More Infrastructure Support To support current and future land use activities, infrastructure and services such as transportation, water supply, drainage and sewerage should be augmented. This need becomes more pronounced in the light of Bacoors role as the catchment area of residents from Metro Manila as well as of migrant population employed in the industrial centers of Rosario, Carmona, and Dasmarias.
II -28
2.2.8
Summary of Land Use Conditions and Trends Bacoors roles as the Gateway to Cavite and the Catchment Area for the residential population from Metro Manila and industrial centers in Cavite have largely influenced the land uses in Bacoor. Residential areas comprise the majority of the land uses, followed by open grassland, agri-fishery, commercial, institutional, and industrial. The towns formerly agricultural character has given way to a predominantly residential town. Land use potentials and advantages include the towns compact urban structure, and infrastructure projects that are currently being implemented or being planned in Bacoor. Land use concerns include the need to manage CBD growth as well as the need for density controls and more infrastructure support.

ECONOMY
Fishery and Agriculture
Fishery Production Bacoor had been renowned for its mussel production. However, due to rapid urbanization, the economic contribution of the fishing industry to Bacoors economy has declined over the years. In contrast, trade and service-oriented activities have increased in the municipality. Many agricultural lots, particularly fishponds, have been converted into subdivisions. Offshore and coastal fishing has also been affected by the construction of the ManilaCavite Coastal Road and Reclamation Project. As of now, Bacoor Bay can still be used in mussels culture although it is in constant threat of red tide. The municipality has 17 hectares of fishing grounds in coastal barangays devoted to the production of mussel/cocked shell, bangus, sugpo and tilapia (Table 2.6). Table 2.6.

Food Sufficiency Levels In terms of food sufficiency, Bacoor registered deficits in the production of all food items including rice, vegetables and fruits, pork, beef, poultry, and fish (Table 2.9). This situation may be mainly attributed to the following: widespread conversion of agricultural lands into residential subdivisions, rapid population growth, and lack of capital to expand and improve current agri-fishery areas.

Day Care Centers There are 33 Day Care Centers located in 35 barangays of Bacoor. These centers provide feeding programs to malnourished children coming from indigent families. Although these centers are functional, they need improvement and modernization to cope with the demands of the increasing population. Based on the standard Day Care Center : Family Ratio of 1:500 (one center per 500 families), it appears that there is inadequate number of day care centers in the municipality. On the other hand, RA 7160 otherwise known as the Local Government Code of 1991, mandates that each barangay should have its own day care center since it is considered as one of the basic facilities and services that should be delivered to the residents.

Traffic Forecasts
Overall Traffic Condition In highly urbanized areas like Bacoor, traffic management is inevitable as major infrastructure projects affecting the current traffic scenario are about to be implemented, and several choke points are besetting the traffic system in various locations in the municipality during peak hours everyday except Sunday. The traffic problem in Bacoor does not vary much from the traffic scenario in Metro Manila and its neighboring cities and municipalities. Among municipalities and cities at the fringe of the mega-region, Bacoor experienced a high population growth rate of 6.70% for the period 1990-2000. Traffic Volume Bacoor experiences traffic congestion during morning peak hours from 7:00 to 10:00 am, afternoon peak at 4:00 to 7:00 pm, and at noontime. The main roads, namely, Aguinaldo Highway, Tirona Highway, Molino Road, and Gen. Evangelista St., are absorbing traffic volume more than their carrying capacity. The volume-capacity ratio for roads and the corresponding service levels are presented in Table 2.34 below: Table 2.34. Volume-Capacity Ratio for Roads and Service Levels Level of Service Level A Level B Level C Level D Level E Level F Characteristics free flow traffic free flow traffic Moderate traffic moderate/heavy traffic heavy traffic saturation volume Volume-Capacity Ratio less than 0.20 0.21 - 0.50 0.51 - 0.70 0.71 - 0.85 0.86 - 1.00 more than 1.00
The hourly capacity depends on the following factors: number of lanes, carriageway or lane width, shoulder width, gradients and their lengths, truck and bus percentage of total traffic, lateral obstructions on both sides or one side of the roadway, and roadside friction. For Bacoor, the traffic condition along major roads is shown in Table 2.35. Table 2.35. Traffic Volume-Capacity Ratio Corridor Aguinaldo Highway Molino Road Gen. Evangelista St. Tirona Highway Capacity (pcu/day) 13,600 11,794 13,201 12,696 Traffic 16,504 15,356 30,009 14,905 Volume-Capacity Ratio 1.21 5.19 11.64 1.30 3.75 6.77 2.27 7.36 9.83 1.17 5.00 7.10
II -58
As reflected in Table 2.35, all the major roads in Bacoor fall under the category of levelof-service F, or saturation stage during peak hours. If nothing will be done in these corridors, the roads will have to accommodate traffic volume far beyond their carrying capacity. The commuters will naturally experience more delay in travel in the future. Major roads in the municipality are nearing or have exceeded the design volume capacity. There is obviously an imbalance between traffic demand and supply. In some locations such as Aguinaldo Highway, Tirona Avenue within and near the rotunda, Gen. Evangelista St., Bayanan and Bahayang Pag-asa in Molino Road, the existing road capacities are far less than what the current volume of traffic requires. Traffic volume at morning and afternoon peak hours, as well as at noontime, suggests that road widening and provision of alternate routes will have to be considered. Traffic speeds are slowest in the northward direction during the day and southwards during the evening. Speeds are generally slower towards Metro Manila. Very slow speeds occur at Zapote and Tirona Highway. At the mentioned traffic congested areas, vehicles are moving much slower than the design speed of the road. The inadequacy of the road capacity is further aggravated by the lack of discipline among drivers manifested by their habit of intersection blocking to pick up and wait for passengers, inappropriate counterflow, and sudden forcible lane change (usually shifting from the outer lane where vehicles line up to wait for passengers, to the inner lane when the driver decides to get out of the queue). These long time practices of drivers lead to aggravation of traffic congestion. The current transport infrastructure system has little focus on the safety of the pedestrian. Overpasses and guardrails are very limited; pedestrian lanes are not properly painted; and mixture of pedestrian with the vehicles is a common sight not only in municipal roads but in national highways as well. Ideally, a good pedestrian system should be strengthened in pedestrian-concentrated areas such as the central business district, market place, and transport terminals. In Bacoor, there is a widespread encroachment of various structures into the road-rightsof-way (RROW). Even some sidewalks, basic component of road section, are not spared from encroachments. These encroaching structures serve as obstruction since they are positioned either on the road shoulder or the carriageway. Several concrete waiting sheds, barangay halls, concrete aggregates, and electric posts/pylons are decreasing road capacity. As improvements in the Bacoor Public Market are not being controlled, several encroachments in the road-rights-of-way are observed. Ambulant vendors are occupying the road shoulders, and in some instances, even the carriageway. Considering the need for more road space, off-street parking should be provided especially near the identified choke points. Most residential and commercial buildings (with the exception of Shoe Mart Bacoor, McDonalds, Jollibee, etc.), and other structures are located near the sidewalk, making it hard to implement road widening and construction of overpasses.

Current Traffic Management Intersections are controlled by traffic enforcers and not by traffic signals. There seems to be an imbalance in the allocation of go-signals. Instead of concentrating on directing the vehicles to move continuously, traffic enforcers are focused on manually controlling the intersections. Traffic signals, if properly programmed, control the efficient flow of vehicles so that no simultaneous movement of conflicting flows will occur at any time, and allow the safe crossing of the pedestrians. Manual control of the intersections is not making the traffic condition in Bacoor better. Inappropriate and imbalanced allotment of go-signal happens when traffic enforcers are allowed to control the intersections. Parking and terminal facilities are essential parts of traffic management. Absence of such facilities can substantially reduce road capacity as parking of vehicles requires a certain area. If a vehicle is parked on-street, it occupies almost one-lane. On-street parking on both sides of the road is common in all traffic corridors of Bacoor. The absence of the said facilities limits the capacity of the road networks to absorb traffic flow. There is a need to disallow on-street parking in major traffic corridors, especially during peak hours. There is also a need to strengthen the policy on towing illegally-parked vehicles. Due to lack of parking facilities, street parking on both sides of the road is resorted to by the residents and visitors in the municipality. Except for the terminal in Shoe Mart Bacoor, there are no appropriate terminals in Bacoor currently being utilized for the PUVs. In the mentioned major corridors, PUVs line up to wait for passengers either on the road shoulders or carriageways. This traffic obstruction decreases the traffic capacity of the roads. Traffic enforcers do not apprehend drivers for common traffic violations such as inappropriate parking, improper loading and unloading of passengers, prolonged stay of PUVs at areas where passengers normally take their ride, and illegal use of the roads as terminals. Slow-moving vehicles traverse national roads and highways without being apprehended. Description of Roads in Bacoor Aguinaldo Highway Urban development is more intense near Metro Manila and around Tirona junction where Shoe Mart Bacoor is located. New developments are occurring in linear form along or in areas with access to this road. The current volume of traffic passing through this road has exceeded its capacity. In fact, as early as 1996, the volume of vehicles being accommodated by this road is 21% more than what it can take. It is projected that by the year 2005, the volume-capacity ratio for this road will be 5.19, and by 2015, it will be 11.64 if the current condition will be unchanged. Simply put, if nothing will be done to improve the current traffic situation in this road, it will be accommodating 419% volume of vehicles over and above its capacity in 2005, and 1,064% by 2015. Heavy congestion is being experienced at Zapote junction and the Shoe Mart Bacoor area especially during morning and afternoon peak hours. The average travel speed in this road towards Metro Manila during morning peak hours is only 12 kph. Morning peak occurs between 7:00 to 10:00 am and afternoon peak between 4:00 to 7:00 pm. During
Existing Conditions and Trends II -60
noontime, the traffic in this road is quite heavy. Speeds are slower in the northbound in the morning and southbound in the evening. Speeds are generally slower towards Metro Manila, and very slow at the Zapote and Tirona Highway intersection. Except at junctions and isolated developments, there are no sidewalks. Junctions are atgrade. Intersections are controlled by signals but are turned off during peak hours to enable traffic enforcers to control traffic flow. Terminals along this road are located near the Zapote Public Market and Tirona Junction. Some intersections along this road are illegally being used as terminals (waiting areas for passengers), namely: Zapote, Gen. Evangelista, and Tirona. Power pylons were built, encroaching the carriageway and thus reducing the traffic capacity of this road. RROW limits are not defined as there seems to be an overlapping between the frontage of properties along the road and RROW. This situation has led to the reduction of road capacity. Tirona Junction needs improvement on junction management, interchange and conditions for pedestrians/public transport passengers. Public utility jeepneys (PUJs) and public utility buses (PUBs) are discriminately loading and unloading anywhere they can take passengers. Vehicle stop signs are not being observed strictly. These public utility vehicles (PUVs) line up to wait for passengers near Shoe Mart Bacoor, Niog Road , and Molino Road. When vehicles line up to pick up passengers, one lane of the highway is blocked. When vehicles step out of the line, this is done in a very slow manner as they are very closely spaced. This results to blocking of additional lane. This observation is true in both the northbound and southbound directions. In Zapote, PUJs queue to pick up passengers from the Bacoor Public Market. When a PUJ or PUB stops to get passengers, one direction is blocked since Aguinaldo Highway at this location is only one lane each way. Road shoulders and carriageways are occupied either by vehicles parked on both sides of the road, by vendors at and near the public market, or by signages. Talaba Road Although Talaba Road is very short in length, this road is very important since this road serves as a major link of vehicles coming from other parts of Cavite in going to Metro Manila. This road directly links Aguinaldo Highway to the Coastal Road. During peak hours, traffic enforcers from the provincial government adopt a certain traffic scheme for the Talaba area. They would effect a total stop to the vehicles coming from Metro Manila at the Talaba Bridge to allow vehicles towards Metro Manila to pass. After about 10 minutes, they would stop northward vehicles near the intersection of Talaba Road and Gen. Evangelista St. to allow southward vehicles to pass through. After this sequence, they would allow vehicles coming from Gen. Evangelista St. to Zapote and Metro Manila to pass this intersection. They would do this process repeatedly until the volume has been decreased at off-peak hours, without necessarily allotting appropriate time for each direction. Traffic signals are not used during peak hours. Side cars and tricycles cross this major road. Slow-moving vehicles like these two should not in any way be allowed to cross part
Existing Conditions and Trends II -61
of the national highway like the Talaba Road. Pedestrian facilities are not provided, and jaywalking is a common sight. There is no overpass for the crossing pedestrians. Apprehensions are not done for common violations such as inappropriate loading and unloading, illegal parking, etc. Traffic enforcers concentrate on controlling the intersection instead of allowing traffic signals to function. They also focus on controlling the flow of vehicles to prevent prolonged time of the PUVs waiting for passengers which is the main source of traffic congestion and bottlenecks. The pavement in Gen. Evangelista St. junction is poorly maintained and is ripe for rehabilitation. The current condition of the pavement causes the slowing down of vehicles crossing it. Gen. Evangelista Street Parking on both sides of the road is prevalent, constricting the width of the road and causing traffic bottlenecks. Vehicles have to slow down and keep a safe distance from the parked vehicles to prevent accidents. At approximately 10 meters from the Aguinaldo Highway, PUJs bound for Binakayan are using one lane of the road as a waiting area for passengers. This practice is obviously causing traffic buildup for westward movement. Near Zapote junction, this street is being utilized as terminal for PUJs bound for Binakayan. Vehicles are parked on both sides of the road and double parking sometimes occur. A barangay hall near the Iglesia ni Cristo Church and a small public market (talipapa) encroach on the road shoulder. Ambulant vendors situated in front of the talipapa likewise encroach on the road lane. These encroachments plus the volume of people buying and doing business in this area create road bottleneck. During daytime, warning signs for school zones are placed directly on the road. These signs are placed very near the object of safety. Drivers relatively new to the locations of the sign who pass during off-peak hours find it difficult to slow down. These signs should be put away from the road and farther away from the object of precaution, and on a location readily recognizable to the drivers. The volume-capacity ratio was 2.27 as early as 1996. This ratio is expected to jump to 7.36 by 2005 and reach 9.83 in 2015 if traffic interventions are not introduced. This means that since 1996, the volume of vehicles passing through this road was already more than double its capacity. It is alarming to note that in 2005, the road will have to absorb traffic volume which is about seven times its capacity. In 2015, it will have to accommodate about ten times the volume it can take. Tirona Highway Concrete waiting sheds are constructed right at the road shoulders causing traffic bottlenecks to areas where these are located. A barangay hall is situated within the shoulder.
II -62
At the Shoe Mart Bacoor side, the road is wide enough but becomes constricted as it intersects with Gen. Evangelista St. This road has to be widened evenly. Vehicles are sometimes parked where the tow-away signs are located. Traffic flow at the intersection of Tirona Highway at Mabolo Rotunda is congested. This intersection is not provided with appropriate traffic signals, and the traffic flow is controlled manually by traffic enforcers. PUJs going to Zapote towards Gen. Evangelista St. utilize the corner of this intersection as a waiting area for passengers. Tricycles are also parked while waiting for passengers near this intersection. Traffic congestion in the said intersection can be attributed to the following:
There seems to be an imbalance in the control of traffic in this intersection which leads to traffic congestion for both eastward and westward vehicles. Left turning vehicles from Binakayan should be given lesser allocation of go-signal. The road has already exceeded its volume capacity, and widening of this road has to be implemented up to the Binakayan boundary. Currently, the road is wide enough from Shoe Mart Bacoor up to the mid-section. Waiting sheds and a barangay hall are obstructing not only the RROW but the road shoulder itself. Some vehicles are parked directly at the traffic-sensitive areas like the tow-away zones. Due to a shortage of parking space, vehicles are illegally parked at both sides of the road.
Molino Road This road connects several subdivisions to Aguinaldo Highway and leads to the exit towards Marcos Alvarez St. in Las Pias City and to Alabang City through Daang Hari Road. This road is not only one of the most traveled roads in Bacoor but also a road stretch where urban developments are occurring rapidly. As of 1996, the volume of vehicle units passing through this road has already exceeded its capacity by 30%. The volume-capacity ratio for this road is anticipated to be 3.75 by the year 2005 and 6.77 by 2015. In simple terms, if status quo will be adopted for the traffic network, it will have to accommodate 275% of vehicles beyond its capacity by 2005, and 577% in excess that capacity in 2015. Just like other busy roads, vehicles are parked directly at tow-away zones. Double parking and parking on both sides of the road are not effectively controlled. There are no traffic signals. Intersections are either controlled by traffic enforcers or left to flow freely. Because of this, the appropriation of go-signal is not balanced with the volume of vehicles passing through the intersections. Speed along this road is approximately the same as that of the Aguinaldo Highway, i.e., 12 kph. Due to the absence of pedestrian facilities, mixture of vehicles and pedestrians is
II -63
common especially at intersections. Heavy traffic is currently being experienced from Bahayang Pag-asa all the way to Zapote. Congestion is heaviest at Barangay Bayanan and at Niog intersection. There is a need to decongest this road either by providing alternate routes or by road widening. The option of road widening seems to be costly as infrastructures are lined up close to the existing road. It is more efficient to provide alternate routes which will connect this road directly to Las Pias City and to Molino Boulevard or to Niog Street. Some residential/commercial structures encroach on the road lane at the southern part of this road. These structures obstruct the traffic flow and pose danger not only to those who live in them but to the traveling public as well. Some aggregates are piled up on the carriageway, limiting the capacity of the road, and serving as obstruction to traffic. Niog Road This is a narrow two-lane road running parallel to Molino Boulevard (which is yet to be opened to traffic) and to Molino Road. Unlike the latter, Niog Road is less utilized and does not suffer from traffic congestion. This road does not have drainage structures and is in a deteriorated stage. In the future, this road is expected to absorb heavier traffic as the last terminal of LRT extension will be near this road, and the proposed bus way will intersect this road. Since most part of this road is not yet urbanized, only colorum PUVs and private vehicles use this road. As residential and commercial structures will be built along this road in the future, it is expected that more traffic will be attracted to this road. Some parts of the road have electrical posts within the road pavement section. Humps are constructed in areas where there is no need for the passing vehicles to slow down. Mambog Road This road connects Niog Road, Molino Road, and Molino Boulevard to Aguinaldo Highway. This road is less utilized to traffic compared to Molino Road which connects to the northern part of Aguinaldo Highway. Ongoing and Pipeline Transportation Projects Sensitive to the worsening traffic scenario not only in Bacoor but in the entire Cavite area, the following are the ongoing and pipeline projects to effect decongestion of the traffic networks in Bacoor: The Bus Way This project will provide a relief to the traffic congestion at Aguinaldo Highway as this will run parallel to the highway. This will be true if proper modal integration will be adopted, and the provision of the necessary infrastructure components such as parking and terminal for the PUVs as well as pedestrian facilities will be integrated into the bus way system.
II -64
This project will ensure provision of high capacity, reliable, and efficient alternate route parallel to the Aguinaldo Highway. Adoption of this segregated bus way is less costly rather than resorting to road widening. It is envisioned to service approximately 240 buses per direction per hour or about 19,000 passengers per direction per hour. It will be similar to an expressway with limited access and characterized by high speeds having separate and segregated alignment. It is a less complex approach of providing mass transit and does not require very high capital outlay and technological complexity of a mass transit facility. Access will be limited to the end of the bus way and at several intermediate points near settlements or other generators of activities and at intersections with major roads. To allow easy transfers between modes, an inter-modal interchange between buses and other modes of transport will be provided. If MRT facilities will be required in the future, the bus way alignment can be utilized, thus, there will be no need for a very costly and time consuming road right of way (RROW) acquisition. The LRT Extension Though this will ensure a faster commuting time from Metro Manila to Bacoor, the terminals in Talaba and Niog will create traffic problems in the municipality if an appropriate modal integration will not be implemented. These terminals should be properly connected to the bus way, and to other PUV routes, considering PUV terminals, parking areas, pedestrian facilities, etc. There is a need to anticipate the potential problems when the LRT Extension and the bus way become operational. There should be an efficient street-level connection and dispersal of LRT passengers and traffic entering and exiting the bus way facilities. Molino Boulevard To make this road efficient, land use developments along this road should be properly controlled and be sufficiently linked to Molino Road. It should be extended to Bahayang Pag-asa to ease the traffic congestion being experienced at the intersection of Niog and Molino Roads. Zapote-Coastal-Tanza Road This project, if implemented, will lessen the congestion at Aguinaldo and Tirona Highways. Vehicles going to Kawit, Tanza, Cavite City, etc. will not have to traverse Aguinaldo and Tirona Highways to be able to reach these municipalities. Vehicles will have the option of going directly to these coastal areas through this proposed road without having to pass through SM Bacoor and Mabolo in Tirona. Tanza-Muntinlupa Road This is a 25-km. road alignment which will start at the coastal area of Muntinlupa and will run in a westerly direction towards Tanza. This will connect to the Zapote-Coastal-Tanza Road. This road project will be an alternative alignment for the C-6 Road and will allow Tanza and other coastal areas of Cavite to be accessed from the South Luzon Expressway.

2.5.3
Drainage and Sewerage
Drainage System Drainage infrastructure and facilities are constructed by the national government, the local government units and the private sector. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) constructs and maintains drainage lines along national highways. This part of the work is delegated to district offices of the DPWH. The provincial government of Cavite, through the Provincial Engineers Office, maintains drainage facilities along provincial road systems and highways. The municipal government of Bacoor provides for the drainage alongside municipal road systems as well as assistance to barangays in implementing drainage improvements along barangay roads. The private sector likewise implements drainage construction, improvement and rehabilitation projects within their respective development areas. Real estate developers are expected to plan and construct the drainage system within their subdivisions. Industrial or economic zones are supposed to have satisfactory drainage facilities within their eco-zones. The Molino Dam was constructed by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) for irrigation purposes. The dam slows down flow coming from upstream catchment areas. The dam was constructed at the confluence of the two-creek system and captures the water flows of these two surface waters. The Don Cella River has larger flow contribution into the dam reservoir on account of its larger watershed and farther reach than the eastern creek. Currently, the dam system is an effective buffer to excessive flows coming from the upstream areas of Bacoor and adjacent towns. The high level of accumulated silt and other materials decreases the capacity of the reservoir dam and dampens its effectiveness. Furthermore, the accumulated silt has added load to the upstream face of the dam and may compromise the stability of the reservoir. The San Nicolas Dam was constructed across the flow of Zapote River and serves as an energy dissipater against the rampaging flow. The dam spillway provides a cascade where most of the energy of water is dissipated to minimize disastrous energy of rampaging water which can affect the downstream areas. Its reservoir capacity is not considerable and can induce backwater swelling during torrential rains. Nevertheless, both dams provide some buffer to the occurrence of these flash floods to downstream areas. During low flows and dry season, the top of the reservoir provides short cut access to people crossing into Las Pias from Bacoor. Garbage from household and commercial sources is found to be dumped to nearby bodies of water and vacant lots. Consequently, with this kind of practice, creeks and canals are often clogged and become the root cause of occasional flooding in the barangays along the Zapote and Imus Rivers during the rainy season. Sewerage System Bacoor presently has no centralized sewerage system. Big commercial establishments, e.g. Shoe Mart Bacoor, were required by law to put up sewage treatment plants to treat water prior to discharge. Residential households have their own toilets and septic tanks for their wastewater. Those that do not have toilet systems, especially along the waterways and coastal areas, are suspected to be the primary source of water pollution for the surface waters and the coastal waters. The population in coastal areas where many
II -66
informal dwellers proliferate is growing at an alarming rate and must be immediately addressed due to its impact on the water quality of the area. Drainage Problem Areas The drainage problem of Bacoor differs with respect to areas; approaches to these problems require unique treatments. Map 2.10 shows the location of these drainage problem areas. Molino Dam Visual inspection indicates that the impoundment area for the Molino Dam is approximately 3,625,000 m2. With a depth of 4 meters, this corresponds to a volume of 14,500,000 m3. It is located at the southernmost part of Bacoor, fed by Don Cella River on the west and by Molino River at the east. Directly downstream of the dam are thickly vegetated areas onto which waters from the control gates cascade guided by natural rocky ravines. These gates discharge water to the existing creek system of Bacoor and run downstream to merge with larger bodies of water until they reach Bacoor Bay or the main Manila Bay. The dam is concrete lined on the outside with boulder riprap at its spillway. The dam has certain considerable capacity of retaining flash flow from upstream, acting as a safety buffer against flooding in the downstream areas. If the depth of the dam can be increased to 6 meters, its capacity can increase by 50%. The dam structure on the other hand, seems stable pending detailed structural investigation. The lush vegetation in the surrounding areas provides a cool respite to the mushrooming communities. The impoundment of the dam is possible breeding grounds of insects such as mosquitoes which are carriers of various diseases like dengue which can result to an epidemic within the locality. It also poses the threat of drowning by children who are attracted to swim in its waters. Municipal solid wastes that are carried by the water flow from upstream are deposited in the dam along with the silt materials. Wastewaters and sewage may also mix with the waters coming from tributaries. The reservoir is a possible tourist attraction for Bacoor by turning it to a water feature park through the improvement of the surrounding environment and the construction of various public park amenities. It can later be developed into a prime attraction in Cavite that may be operated and managed by the municipal government of Bacoor. The construction of such a facility would then help businesses and various enterprises to thrive at designated areas near it, creating employment and additional revenues for the municipality. With active management, municipal solid waste in the dam may be reduced and the water quality of its water may be improved. Vegetable growers in the area may utilize the fertile silt materials within the dam as soil enhancers to improve the productivity of their crops. The dam reservoir may also be converted into a lake resort that can provide water-related recreation activities such as boating through proper reservoir lake planning. There may be conflict with other national government agencies in terms of jurisdiction in managing the reservoir. However, since it is an idle asset, both the municipality of Bacoor and the national government may benefit through a co-management scheme.

II -68
The deteriorated condition of the dam presents the possibility of a flash flood of disastrous proportions to the downstream communities. Furthermore, the improvement of the facility is threatened by the apparent existence of illegal settlers. Any future development on the Molino Dam may entail an environmental impact assessment and social acceptability. This may delay any development but proper consultative approach can smoothen out major issues. Residential Areas East of Molino Road in Barangay Molino 5 The occurring problems in the area consist of the accumulation of runoff along roads that consequently flood low-lying areas. Sometimes torrential rains result in flash flooding due to the slow draining process. Moreover, the swelling of creeks flowing through the subdivisions results in the overtopping of banks and spilling into residences. This is experienced particularly in residential lots, which were originally agricultural lands and naturally low-lying areas. The flooding problem is further aggravated by garbage clogging drainage and waterways. The above mentioned problems of the subdivisions have resulted to certain adverse effects especially during the rainy season. The flash floods have caused the destruction of lives and properties as well as disruption of economic activities. Along Manubog Road and the Residential Area in the Vicinity of Manubog Road Recurring problems include swelling of creeks during the rainy season that result in the flooding of low-lying areas especially the residential areas. This may be attributed in part to the inadequate size of the drainage system. Other drainage lines were improperly constructed causing the waters to flow improperly and stagnate. The continuing solid waste problem is only worsening the situation as garbage that gets into drainage lines impedes the continuous flow of water during the rainy season, resulting in flash flooding. Furthermore, decaying matter presents breeding grounds for various diseases that may affect the health of the residents. Certain Areas along Aguinaldo Highway Areas that were formerly agricultural lands located in low-lying areas experience most of the problems. As a result, these areas are prone to flooding. The situation is aggravated by the slow process of draining water runoff due to the improper functioning of the drainage lines which are clogged by household wastes improperly disposed by residents. As a result, the creeks have reduced capacity and impeded flow resulting to momentary flooding. Along Tirona Highway and Bacoor River Marshland and Fishpond Area Existing problems in these areas consist of the difficulty to drain water runoff due to the excess volume of water coming from the Imus River and the accumulation of garbage along waterways that result in the spilling of banks, clogging of creeks, and consequently, flooding of residences. The situation becomes even more critical with the unpredictable tidal fluctuations of Manila Bay which affect the drainage traversing Bacoor River. Improper waste disposal practices along fishpond areas have affected the water quality of its waters that worsens with the increase of siltation in the Bacoor River channel.
II -69
Coastal Areas of Bacoor, North of Gen. Evangelista St. These coastal areas have their share of problems. These areas have difficulty in draining runoff water into the Manila Bay area due to the tidal fluctuations. Roads on the other hand are higher than block areas while water drainage area infiltration is lessened due to concrete paved areas. Area East of Aguinaldo Highway This is the confluence area of several creeks flowing into Zapote River. Existing problems in the area are the informal dwelling units and other structures present along the course of the creek, which impede or block its natural flow. There is also the increased accumulation of solid wastes and siltation. The water is severely septic with the various pollution loads coming from various urban sources located within the vicinity. 2.5.4 Solid Waste Management
Solid waste disposal has become a very urgent and critical problem today. The solid waste disposal problem has already reached crisis proportion in the Metro Manila area due to the lack of efficient and safe solid waste disposal facility such as a sanitary landfill. No new or alternative landfill area has been developed since the closure of the San Mateo landfill. The Congress of the Philippines enacted Republic Act No. 9003 also known as the Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000. R.A. 9003 expresses the declared policy of the government to adopt a comprehensive and ecological solid waste management program. The local government unit, through its Local Solid Waste Management Board, is mandated to develop a 10 year Solid Waste Management Plan for its respective jurisdiction, consistent with the National Solid Waste Management Framework. Bacoor is presently implementing its solid waste management in accordance with RA 9003. From 1998 until August 2001, the municipality used a transfer station at Barangay San Nicolas where the collected waste was segregated by scavengers, reducing the waste by 30 to 35%. The remaining 65 to 70% was dumped at San Mateo landfill before its closure. There are 20 to 25 tons of garbage being generated daily at the Poblacion and in the urban areas of Bacoor. The municipality of Bacoor has ten (10) mini dump trucks that collect garbage twice a week in 19 barangays which include clustered subdivisions except Barangay Tabing Dagat and Zapote I with once-a-week garbage collection. Due to the closure of the transfer station, the municipal government has been looking for a bigger area outside the residential zone whose capacity can accommodate the increasing waste of the municipality brought about by rapid urbanization. The Municipality Government of Bacoor also plans implement its Solid Waste Program which is anchored on the efficient implementation of three major systems: a) waste reduction, segregation and collection from source; b) construction and operation of material recovery and composting facility; and c) final disposal of recyclable, compost and residual waste.
II -70
The planned Material Recovery and Composting Facility will be the place where all solid waste collected by garbage trucks/compactors within Bacoor will be unloaded on specified intervals. Segregators/pickers will separate non biodegradable waste from biodegradable waste such as metals, glass, plastic, rubber, and packaging materials. 2.5.5 Water
Drinking water in the municipality of Bacoor is supplied by the Maynilad Water Services, Inc. (MWSI). However, many barangays still get their water from private deep wells. Geographically, the areas along the coastal areas are the ones that have access to MWSI water while those that are inland are the areas that use private deep wells. The following barangays get their water from MWSI: Alima, Banalo, Campo Santo, Daang Bukid, Digman, Kaingin, Mabolo, Maliksi, Sineguelasan, Tabing Dagat, Talaba, Zapote as well as part of Panapaan, Niog, Habay, and Dulong Bayan. All these barangays are supplied by six (6) pumping stations found in Talaba, Niog, Tabing Dagat, Poblacion and Dulong Bayan. However, part of Bgy. Mabolo gets its water from the BalsahanKawit pumping station which is one of Kawits pumping stations. The barangays that get their water from private deep wells are as follows: Aniban, Banayan, Ligas, Mambog, Molino, Queens Row, Real, Salinas, San Nicolas, as well as parts of Dulong Bayan, Habay, and Panapaan. It is worthy to note that although more households get their water supply from deep wells, some of these sources are not safe for drinking water. Studies show that untreated water from deep wells are relatively unsafe for drinking. Also, there is a very strong possibility of salt water intrusion in the wells near the coastal areas. Finally, because of water shortage, some barangays that are serviced by the MWSI have low water pressure. There are times when there is no water at all in some barangays. In 2000, there were a total of 5,727 MWSI connections, with domestic water users comprising the majority of the users. Average monthly water consumption ranges from 33.2 cu.m. for domestic users; 61.0 cu.m. for commercial users; 51.8 cu.m. for industrial users; and 32.5 cu.m for semi-business users (Table 2.36).

Power
Power supply in Bacoor is provided by MERALCO. In 1997, MERALCO has energized all the barangays. The Carmona and Dasmarias power grids supply power to the different barangays of Bacoor. 2.5.7 Communications
Postal and Courier Services In 2001, the municipality had two post offices managed by the Bureau of Post, two postal stations, two stamping machines, and 84 mail boxes. Tables 2.37 and 2.38 show the postal facilities and volume of postal transactions in Bacoor. Other courier services available in the municipality are LBC and DHL. Table 2.37.

Telecommunication Services The telecommunication office in Bacoor takes charge of transmitting, receiving and providing radio and telegraph service to the public.
