Chapter 1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND

Legendarily, the word Tagaytay came from “TAGA” meaning to cut and “ITAY” which means
father. A father and son were said to be on a wild boar chase when the animal they were pursuing
suddenly turned and attacked them. Fearing for his father’s safety as the boar violently charged
the old man, the son cried out “TAGA, ITAY!” which means “cut him down, father!” The son’s
exhortation and shouts reverberated in the valleys of the ridge and were heard by the residents,
wood gatherers, hunters and kaingeros in the forests. Thus, the shout and the words “Taga, Itay”
became the subject of conversation among the people in the countryside for several days. In time,
the place from where the shouts came began to be known as the beautiful southern city of
Tagaytay.
During the Philippine Revolution of 1896, Tagaytay became a place of refuge and hideaway for
revolutionaries from the nearby provinces of Batangas and Laguna and other neighboring towns
of Masilao (now Amadeo), Malabon Grande (now Gen. Trias), Silang, Dasmariñas, Mendez and
Indang. Its central location amidst these towns and provinces, the wild preponderance of forests
on its ridges and the vast undulating topography of its lands characterized by wide stretches of
cogon offered a ready sanctuary and haven from pursuit of the Katipuneros. As a passageway for
the revolutionary activities in the said provinces, the natives and revolutionaries described
movement to and from the towns via Tagaytay with the word “MANANAGAYTAY,” which means
traversing the ridges of Tagaytay.
At the outbreak of the Second World War, the 11th Airborne Division of Lieutenants General
William Krugers 8th Army airdropped military supplies and personnel on the Tagaytay ridge,
prior to the Liberation of Manila from the Japanese on February 3, 1945. To commemorate this
event, the city officials, in coordination with the Philippine Historical Institute installed a marker
at the junction of the Silang-Canlubang- Nasugbu roads.
On June 21, 1938, Tagaytay became a chartered city with the passage and signing by the late
President Manuel L. Quezon of Commonwealth Act No. 338, a bill authored by Rep. Justiniano S.
Montano of Cavite. Among the city’s past mayors were Arsenio Natividad, Mariano Bondoc,
Melchor Benitez, Miguel Taña, Isaac Tolentino, Hilarion Maglabe, Benjamin Erni, Francis
Tolentino and Abraham N. Tolentino. The incumbent City Mayor is Hon. Agnes D. Tolentino.
Today, the City of Tagaytay is identified as one of the priority areas for tourism development of
the Department of Tourism. Likewise, the city has been identified in the CALABARZON as a tourist
center.

2.3 Topography
Tagaytay City is characterized by mixed topography. The southern and eastern portions are
covered by hills and mountains which are generally forests and open grasslands. There are ridge
areas with slopes ranging from 10.1 to over 25 percent. On the other hand, the portions adjoining
the municipalities of Mendez, Indang, Amadeo and Silang are level to nearby level areas
interspersed with very gently sloping surface. The built-up areas including the urban center are
situated in these relatively level portions of the city.
2.3.1 Elevation
The City of Tagaytay has an elevation ranging from 94 to 744 meters above sea level. The lowest
elevation is found in Brgy. Tolentino East while the highest elevation is the peak of People’s Park
in the Sky in Brgy. Dapdap West.
2.3.2 Slope
One of the important factors being considered in determining the suitability of lands for urban
development as well as the capability of an area for cultivation is the slope. For classification of
slopes specified by the Task Force on Human Settlements as part of the Ecological Information
Decision Systems (EIDS) used in Human Settlements planning, the different slope categories and
its distribution among the lands in Tagaytay are the following:
Table 2. Types of Slopes
AREA (in SHARE SLOPE

TYPE CHARACTERISTICS
hectares) (%) RANGE (%)
1023.99 15.75% A 0-3 Level to nearly level
1736.00 26.71% B 3-8 Very gently sloping or undulating
1052.13 16.19% C 8-18 Gently sloping or undulating
1361.97 20.95% D 18-30 Moderately sloping or rolling
1253.72 19.29% E 30-50 Strongly sloping or strongly rolling
72.19 1.11% F 50 above Strongly hill to mountainous
6, 500 100% Total
SOURCE: Bureau of Soils and Water Management
Levels at moderately sloping areas endowed with good soil characteristics are favorable for
cultivation and urban utilization. Strongly sloping to mountainous condition renders the land
highly prone to soil erosion and unfavorable for agricultural production and urban development.
Approximately 2,687.88 hectares of land, which represent 41.35% of the city’s total land area,
have slopes of above 18.0%. These strongly rolling and mountainous portions are situated along
the ridge and on the eastern end of the city. Due to the unsuitability of these mountainous and
strongly sloping portions for cultivation and urban use, most of these areas are currently utilized
as forests or abandoned as open grasslands.
Areas with Type D slopes (18-30%) cover 1, 361.97 hectares of land in portions of Barangays
Calabuso, Dapdap, Iruhin, Sungay, Sambong, Kaybagal, San Jose and Silang Crossing. Due to the
good soil characteristics in the city, these moderately or rolling areas are planted to diversified
crops although there are still vast tracks of open grasslands in Barangays Dapdap and Calabuso.
8|P age
Type C slopes (8-18%) are most prevalent in Barangays Francisco, Iruhin, Sungay, Tolentino and
San Jose. These gently undulating slopes are mostly devoted to different crops due to their
suitability for cultivation.
Except for the eastern end of the city, the lands situated at the north of the National Highway
leading to Batangas have slopes ranging from 0-8%. Slopes in these thirty four percent (15.75%)
or 1, 023.99 hectares of land are classified as Type A.

2.4 Geology
2.4.1 Rock Formations

The two types of rocks found in Tagaytay City are (1) volcanic rocks and (2) clastic rocks. Volcanic
rocks are made up chiefly of andesite and basalt lava flows with some interpolated pyroclastic
rocks, while clastic rocks consist of interbedded shale and sandstone with occasional thin leases
of limestone, tuff and reworked sandy tuffs, calcareous and partly tuffaceous shale.
Only approximately 128.05 hectares of land representing 1.97 percent of the city’s total land area
are underlain by volcanic rocks. These cover portions of Barangays Dapdap, Calabuso, Iruhin East
and Iruhin West. The rest of the city is underlain by clastic rocks.
2.4.2 Soils
Knowledge of the soil types and soil characteristics provides some guiding principles in selecting
and recommending various uses of land. The basic types of soils found in Tagaytay City belong to
Tagaytay series. These are the Tagaytay sandy loam and the Tagaytay loam.
The central and western portions of the city are covered by the Tagaytay sandy loam. The surface
soil of the Tagaytay is sandy loam which is 12 to 50 centimeters deep, dark brown to nearly black,
friable and granular sandy loam with a considerable amount of volcanic sand. The subsoil is dark
brown to very dark brown and varies in texture from clay loam to clay. It is underlain by reddish-
brown to yellowish brown adobe clay. This adobe clay varies in depth depending on the
topography of the place.
On the other hand, the eastern portion of the city is covered by Tagaytay loam, which has a surface
soil consisting of a 15- to 35-centimeter-thick layer of brown to dark brown loam containing more
or less fine sandy material. The soil is moderately friable when moist. In the disturbed condition,
it becomes hard and cakes when dry. This type of soil is easy to work on. Among the crops that
grow best in this type of soil are upland rice, corn, sugarcane, coconuts, citrus, coffee, pineapple,
avocado and various vegetables.
2.4.2.1 Soil Suitability Classification

Soil suitability classification is a more specific method of showing the relative suitability of the
different soil units to specific crops of land uses based on the soil qualities and other limitations,
which affect the crop or specific use.
12 | P a g e
Map 6. Soil Map of Tagaytay City
13 | P a g e
Soil suitability is divided into two categories:
Soil Suitability for Urban Use

Class I (Good) – soils that have properties favorable for the rated use with none to slight
limitations that can easily be overcome
Class II (Fair) – soils that have properties which are moderately suitable for the rated use with
moderate soil limitations that can be overcome or modified with good planning, design or special
maintenance
Class III (Poor) – soils that have one or more characteristics unfavourable for the rated use with
severe soil limitations that are difficult and costly to modify or overcome, requiring major soil
reclamation, special design or intensive maintenance
Class IV (Not Suitable) – soils that have one or more properties so unfavorable for urban use that
overcoming the limitation is most difficult and costly
Soil Suitability for Agricultural Use

Highly Suitable or Good – the soils are suitable for use under simple but good management
practices. Slight soil limitations, if any, are easy to overcome.
Moderately Suitable or Fair – the presence of minor or moderate soil limitations or restrictions
can be overcome with easily applied farming practices
Marginally Suitable or Poor – the existence of serious soil limitations or restrictions can be
overcome with intensive and complex farming practices and special management, and;
Not Suitable – the presence of very serious limitations or restrictions renders the soil not
suitable or uneconomical to use under any management condition.
Based on the soil suitability study for urban use, 4,901 hectares or 75.4% of the city could be
utilized for urban development. Out of this, 2,940 hectares or 60% are good lands, 882.18
hectares or 18% are rated fair while 1,078.22 hectares or 22% are rated poor. The good lands are
generally situated along the north of the national highway leading to Batangas province. At
present, the city’s built-up areas are dispersed in these lands. On the other hand, 24.6% of the
total land area or 1,599 hectares of strongly hilly to mountainous areas along the ridge are rated
as not suitable for urban use. These strongly sloping portions of the city are currently being
utilized as forest or abandoned as open grasslands. However, even these areas are experiencing
the pressure of land conversion owing to their have unobstructed view of the Taal Lake.
On the other hand, lands suitable for upland rice cover 61.63% of the city’s total land area. These
consist of highly, moderately and marginally suitable lands which have slopes ranging from 0.0
to 5.0 percent. A survey of the existing land use in the city revealed, however, that only an
insignificant portion of the total land area is devoted to rice production.
Lands that were once utilized as rice fields are small patches of land dispersed in the level to
nearly level lands of the city. This indicates that areas suitable for upland rice, which are also
suitable for tree crops and diversified crops are instead being used for the production of high-
income yielding crops such as coffee, pineapple, bananas, tomatoes and string beans.
Lands suitable for diversified crops cover a total area of 4,995.25 hectares or 76.85% of the city’s
total land area. On the other hand, the mountainous area along the ridge, which is too steep for
cultivation, is rated as not suitable for diversified crops.
14 | P a g e
Lands suitable for tree crops include lands that are characterized by strongly hilly topography.
These lands, with slope qualifications that range from Type A through D equal 61.63% of the total
land area and amounts to 4,005.95 hectares are highly suitable. The strongly sloping areas
covering 988.65 hectares or 15.21% of the city’s total land area are moderately suitable while the
mountainous areas generally situated along the ridge are marginally suitable.
2.4.3. Land Capability Classes

Land capability classification is a scheme for grouping soil units together according to the best
use of lands in order to optimise production, preserve land and prevent soil damage through
improper use. The classification indicated the relative suitability of land for agriculture and the
corresponding land management requirements. This serves as one of the important bases in
recommending the use land, especially for areas to be returned for agriculture. The four major
factors considered in land capability classification are: (1) soil properties (2) degree of erosion
and (300) drainage and flooding hazard.
Land capability classes are grouped into four general uses from the standpoint of agricultural as
well as economic capabilities. This can be any or a combination of the four general purposes,
namely: (1) Lands suitable for cultivation; (2) Lands limited to pasture; (3) Lands limited to
forests and (4) Lands limited to wildlife and recreation.
In Tagaytay City, the lands suited for agriculture consists of four land capability classes. These
arable lands which cover 3,836.95 hectares or 59.03% of the total land area and are currently
cultivated and planted to diversified crops such as coffee, pineapple, corn, banana, sweet
potatoes, coconuts, palay and vegetables. The land capability classes to which those lands belong
are as follows:
Land Capability Class “A”

This class includes very good lands, which can be cultivated safely and require only simple but
good farm management practices.
Land Capability Class “Be”

This class include good lands that are nearly level to gently sloping, slightly to moderately eroded
and can be cultivated safely if carefully planned erosion control management practices and
intensive soil conservation practices are observed.
Land Capability Class “Ce”

This class consists of moderately good lands that are moderately sloping, moderately to severely
eroded, and can be cultivated safely if carefully planned erosion control management practices
and intensive soil conservation practices are observed.
Land Capability Class “De”

This class include fairly good lands that are slightly sloping, moderately to severely eroded due
to excessive run-off and can be cultivated occasionally if handled with care. These lands require
very careful management and complex conservation practices and are most suitable to pasture
or tree farms.
15 | P a g e
On the other hand, the non-arable lands in the city cover 2494.05 hectares or 38.37% of the total
land area. These lands are unsuitable for agriculture and consist of land capability classes “M” and
“N” which are mostly situated along the ridge area and the eastern portion of the city. These non-
arable lands are characterized by the following:
Land Capability Class “M”

Lands included here are those which are very steep to mountainous, excessively eroded or
shallow for cultivation. Stones and rock outcrops are occasionally present. These lands are good
for grazing or for forest and need careful farm management.
Land Capability Class “N”

This includes very steep lands, which are excessively eroded, shallow, rough or dry for cultivation
but can be used for grazing with careful management and definite restriction. These lands are
best suited to forest with careful management.

2.5.1 Land classification

As per Forest Land Use Plan 2019, the Land Classification maps available and data gathered from
City Assessor’s Office particularly the administrative boundary were used to determine the
approximate area of the forestland and alienable and disposable land. The following data was
determined using GIS Mapping:

2.5.2.1 Urban Land Use Pattern

The urban area embraced twenty-nine (29) barangays namely: Asisan, Calabuso, Francisco,
Guinhawa South, Iruhin East, Central and West, Kaybagal Central, Kaybagal North and South,
Maharlika East and West, Mendez Crossing East and West, Maitim II East, Central and West,
Neogan, Patutong Malaki North and South, San Jose, Sungay East and West, Silang Crossing East
and West, Tolentino East and West, and Zambal. These twenty-nine barangays account for
94.41% of the total population in 2020.
The urban area has a variety of land uses dominated by residential followed by commercial and
functional open spaces like parks and other recreational areas.
2.5.3 Land Ownership

Only minimal areas are left in the possession of the government since most lands, including those
at the steep slopes, are titled to individual owners. Other owners are religious institutions,
residential subdivision developers and commercial / tourism realtors.

2.6 Climate
Tagaytay City’s climate is characterized by relatively low temperature, low humidity and
abundant rainfall. The city is endowed with a cool and invigorating climate with an average
temperature of 22.7 degrees Celsius. The city is misty and is relatively cooler during the months
of December, January and February. Like most areas in the Province of Cavite, the city has two
pronounced seasons: dry from November to April and wet during the rest of the year.
2.6.1 Atmospheric Temperature

The city is endowed with a cool and invigorating climate with an average temperature of 22.7 o C.
Situated approximately 600 meters above sea level, the city is misty and is relatively cooler during
the months of December, January and February.
2.6.2 Relative Humidity

Relative humidity is a measure of the moisture content of the atmosphere. The average relative
humidity of Tagaytay is 78 percent. This makes the city cooler than the Metropolitan Manila area
where the average relative humidity exceeds 81 percent.
2.6.3 Rainfall
Maximum rainfall usually occurs from July to September. The city’s annual rainfall is 2,546 mm
with a peak of 459 mm in August and low of 27 mm in February.
2.6.4 Temperature Range

Based on readings done at PAG-ASA Sangley Point Station, the mean monthly temperature during
the months from December to February drops as low as 23.3 centigrade and rises to as high as
34.4 centigrade between the months of April and May. Results also show that the mean annual
temperature is 28.4 centigrade.
The months of April and May prove to be the hottest with an average maximum temperature of
26.6 centigrade. Nevertheless, the mean temperature between the warm and the cool months not
vary by more than 7.8 centigrade.
2.6.5 Evaporation and Evapotranspiration

From the evaporation values estimated using the rainfall data collected by PAG-ASA Sangley Point
Station, the monthly evaporation varies from 3.5 mm to 11.3 mm. The data shows that moisture
in the atmosphere increases during the months of February to May and gradually decreases when
rainfall intensity increases beginning June till January.
Evapotranspiration exceeds rainfall during the months of December to April. This is attributed to
the combined effects high temperature, low relative humidity, long sunshine hours and many
windy days characterized by relatively high wind speeds. High evapotranspiration can be very
stressful on plant growth. Areas planted to crops during the months of high evapotranspiration
suffer drought.

2.6.6 Wind Direction

North-eastern winds prevail in the city during the months of October, November, December,
January, February, March and April. Winds came from the southwest during May, June, July,
August and September. The average speed of the wind is 6 knots per hour.
2.6.7 Climate Projection

The city falls under Climate Type I which has two pronounced seasons: dry from November to
April and wet during the rest of the year while the maximum rain period is from June to
September (PAGASA, 2011).
The climate change projections for the municipality as seen below is based from the projected
changes of different climate variable for 2020 and 2050 from PAG-ASA (2011) using the observed
historical baseline from 1971 to 2000 for every province in the country.
The changes in the climate variables might cause a significant increase in the likelihood of
occurrence and severity of impacts of the hazards to the municipality. The consequences of these
changes may lead to the increase in the level of risk the municipality is exposed to. The different
exposure units in the municipality, which includes population, urban use areas, resource-based
production areas, lifeline utilities and critical point facilities can be affected by these changes and
might result to certain consequences.

2.7.2.1 Typhoons
Thirty-one to forty percent of the typhoons visiting the Philippines affect Tagaytay City. The
probable months of typhoon season are from June to December.
2.7.2.2 Soil Erosion
32 | P a g e
Based on the generated map from the Forest Land Use Plan of 2019 and studies conducted by the
DENR-PENRO Cavite, more than half of the land area of Tagaytay City has low landslide
susceptibility in which areas are gently sloping with no identified landslide. Classified as critical
area or very high landslide susceptible is 22.85 hectares of Tagaytay land. These areas are usually
with steep to very steep slopes and underlain by weak materials. Recent landslides, escarpment,
and tension cracks are present. Human initiated effects could be an aggravating factor. However,
2,913.22 hectares of Tagaytay City is classified as high landslide susceptible which areas usually
with steep to very steep slopes and underlain by weak materials. These are areas with numerous
old/inactive landslides.
2.7.2.3 Rain-induced Landslide

Rain-Induced Landslide – areas with low to gentle slopes and lacking tension cracks have low
landslides susceptibility rating. Areas with moderate landslide susceptibility have inactive / old
landslides and tension cracks which are located away from the community. These areas usually
have moderate slopes and areas with high landslides susceptibility rating have active/recent
landslides and tension cracks that would directly affect the community. Those areas with steep
slopes are highly susceptible to landslides.
Water can trigger landslides and mudslides because it alters the pressure within the slope which
leads to slopes instability. Consequently, the heavy water-laden slope materials (soil, rock, etc.)
will succumb to the forces of gravity. Excessive water is thought to be one of the most common
triggers for landslides.
These are the 20 barangays with land areas covered by Taal Volcano Protected Landscape (ridge
areas) and land areas with slope of 18° and above. Portion of barangay San Jose is very highly
susceptible to landslide; portions of barangays Bagong Tubig, Sambong, Kaybagal South,
Maharlika West, Maharlika East, Silang Crossing West, Silang Crossing East, San Jose, Tolentino
West, Tolentino East, Francisco, Sungay West, Sungay East, Iruhin East, Iruhin West, Iruhin
Central, Dapdap West, Dapdap East, and Calabuso are highly susceptible to landslide; portions
barangay San Jose, Tolentino West, Tolentino East, Francisco, Sungay West, Sungay East, Iruhin
West, Iruhin East, Iruhin Central, Dapdap West, Dapdap East and Calabuso are moderately
susceptible; portions of remaining barangays located on the northern part of the city are low
susceptible to landslide.
2.7.2.4 Earthquake-induced Landslide

20 barangays are susceptible to earthquake induced landslide –partial areas of the barangay with
slope of more than 18% and above and areas along the ridge.
2.7.2.5 Drought
All barangays of the city are susceptible to drought during summer season due to the slope of the
land agricultural areas are rain-fed-dependent.
2.7.2.6 Ground Shaking

14 barangays are susceptible to ground shaking. There are partial areas of the 14 barangays base
on the topography, bedrock type and the location and orientation of the fault rupture. Ground-
shaking – based on NAMRIA’s Ground Shaking Map and PHIVOLCS Earthquake Intensity Scale
(PEIS) for the Province of Cavite, the City of Tagaytay will likely experience the impact of ground
shaking in scale of Intensity VII and above.
33 | P a g e
All barangays will be affected during earthquakes. The probability of damage to property,
infrastructures, agriculture, commercial operational interruption and possible loss of life due to
eventual movement of the fault line is very high.
In order to avoid the impacts of ground shaking, structure must be build in accordance to the
prescribed structural standards stipulated in the National Building Code.
2.7.2.7 Ground Rupture

20 barangays are susceptible to ground ruptures. These are partial areas of the 20 barangays
within the ridge areas.
2.7.2.8 Volcanic Ashes due to Eruption

Tagaytay City is within the 14-kilometer radius identified as a danger zone following the Taal
Volcano's explosion of steam, smoke and ash. Despite being in the danger zone, according to
Phivolcs, is not considered a high-risk area because of its elevation. No direct hazard is possible
despite of the city’s proximity to Taal Volcano. But inhalation of volcanic ash can be very
detrimental to human health, due to the harmful aerosols and poisonous gases the ash is made
up of, such as sulfur dioxide. Ash poses the largest risk to people, animals, crops and plants since
ash flow from an exploding volcano can travel hundreds of kilometers an hour.

2.8 Urban Use Areas Exposure and Risk to Hazard

The urban use areas considered in the assessment were the residential, commercial, tourism, institutional, parks and recreation, tourism, and utilities.
The vulnerabilities observed are the percentage of building walls with light to salvageable materials, percentage of buildings in
dilapidated/condemned condition, percentage of buildings constructed before 1992, and employment of resilient building design. On the other hand,
adaptive capacities include local awareness, access or area coverage to infrastructure-related mitigation measures, capacity and willingness to retrofit
and relocate, presence of insurance coverage, government investments, available alternative sites/structures and government regulations on hazard
mitigation, zoning and structural design standards.
2.8.1 Exposure to Hazard

Urban use areas exposed to very high landslide susceptibility are found to be 1.42 hectares, composed of commercial and residential areas in Barangay
San Jose, while those highly susceptible are composed of commercial, residential, institutional, parks and recreation, utilities and tourism found in
Barangays Bagong Tubig, Calabuso, Dapdap East, Dapdap West, Francisco, Iruhin Central, Iruhin East, Iruhin West, Kaybagal South, Maharlika East,
Maharlika West, Mendez Crossing East and West, Neogan, Sambong, San Jose, Silang Crossing East and West, and Sungay East and West which
constitute of about 222.78 hectares. Moreover, those at moderate risk to landslide are accounted to be approximately 157.88 hectares while 1, 415.38
hectares are at low risk.
2.8.2 Risk to Hazard

There are about 133.05 hectares of urban uses composed of commercial, institutional, residential, utilities, commercial, parks and recreation and
tourism found in Barangays Bagong Tubig, Calabuso and Iruhin East that are at high risk to landslide. The replacement cost is computed to be about
₱159, 444, 316, 385, 437.00. On the other hand, about 1, 571.80 hectares of urban uses are at moderate risk, and about 92.61 hectares are at low risk.

3.1.5 Household Distribution

Among the 34 barangays of this city, Kaybagal Central has the greatest number of households (1,
568 households). This can be accounted for the housing projects, and to the emerging
developments of infrastructure projects and other facilities.
On the other hand, in the rural barangays, Bagong Tubig has lowest number of households (208
households). This can be attributed to its location, topographic condition, inadequate
infrastructure and poor transportation network.

3.2. Present Status of well-being

The quality of life of the residents can be measured in terms of their status of well-being in
relation to certain acceptable or desired standards, as well as the level of social services that are
made available to them. Indicators of well-being include health, social welfare, education,
housing, employment and income, recreation and sports facilities, and protective services.
3.2.1 Health Care and Nutrition Services

The delivery of basic health care services to the general public is basically one of the primary
concerns of the city. Thus, the City established its own Primary Hospital (Ospital ng Tagaytay) in
1997 to render health services for the city residents especially to underprivileged patients. In
order to improve its services and accommodate the increasing number of in-patients, the City
Government constructed additional building (expansion) for additional hospital beds and to
comply with the minimum requirement of the Department of Health and improvement of existing
Ospital ng Tagaytay. A 40-bed primary City Hospital provides modern health care services to city
residents and residents of nearly towns and municipalities of Cavite and Batangas Provinces. It
is strategically located along Crisanto de Los Reyes Avenue (formerly Ipil Street). The facility
consists of five (5) major departments/sections: Emergency, Laboratory, OPD, X-
RAY/Ultrasound, Admin Office, etc. There is still the need to improve its services and the basic
requirements of DOH for upgrading to secondary hospital. In order to augment health care
services, a four (4) storey 49 bed-capacity hospital building will be completed and operational
located along Aguinaldo Highway, Brgy. Maitim II East. Eventually, the hospital shall be
categorized as 1st Level Secondary Hospital.
In addition, a tertiary hospital (Tagaytay Medical Center) located at Barangay Silang Crossing East
near Rotunda, also caters the needs not only of local residents but also the adjoining towns as
well tourists who visited the city.
For minor cases, the City Health Office is open from Monday to Friday providing medical and
dental services to the city residents. The 34 barangay have also their respective barangay health
centers under the direct supervision of City Health Office personnel assisted by Barangay Health
Workers (BHWs) and Purok Social Workers (PSWs). Non-government Organizations (NGOs)
such as Project Health, Augustinian Sisters and private institutions also provide medical services
to the residents.
At present the city has one (1) City Health Center, 34 barangay health centers, two (2) hospitals,
nine (9) dental clinics, nine (9) medical clinics and ten (10) drugstores to meet the health and
medical needs of the people.

3.2.1.d Nutritional Status

The City Nutrition Office’s records show that from 2018-2020, the malnutrition rate in the city is 1%. Different interventions strategies and techniques
in nutritional programs are being delivered by the city government since they are key components to reduce the city’s malnutrition rate until it reaches
down to 0% malnutrition rate. As a concrete manifestation of the efficiency of the city’s nutrition program, the city has received several Nutrition
awards from the regional even up to national level.
As of December 2020, the population of 0-59 months is 6,370 and it is 100% weighed during the Operation Timbang in all brangays. Regular monitoring
and site visitation to the families of under six (6) years old children as well as health education and information dissemination campaign are being
conducted in the barangays. The City through the City Nutrition Office has been successful in forging close partnership with some Ngo’s and other Civic
Organization in implementing various nutrition programs.

3.2.2 Social Welfare
Tagaytay City, like most towns and cities in the country, is beset with its own social problems,
which include unemployment, malnutrition, inadequate housing provisions and drug addiction.
To help solve these problems, social welfare assistance in the city is therefore extended by the
City Social Welfare and Development Office (CSWDO).
Among the services offered by the CSWDO are family life education and counselling, family
planning and assistance, day care services, supplemental feeding, and emergency shelter
assistance, relief and rehabilitation. In terms of facilities, it has set up one family clinic in every
day care center.
Some government offices and private organizations operating within the locality provide
invaluable support to CSWDO in extending social welfare assistance to those who are needy. The
government agencies that also assist the CSWDO are the Department of Agriculture and the
Department of Health. The civic and religious organizations on the other hand, include the Ladies
of Charity, Tagaytay City Credit Association, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Marian Center,
Women’s Club, Poveda and Verbum Dei.
To monitor and concentrate on the social problems that arise in the city, the following Programs
and Services are provided by the CSWDO: (1) Self-Employment Assistance, (2) Family and
Community Welfare, (3) Women’s Welfare, (4) Child and Youth Welfare, (5) Emergency
Assistance Program, (6) Program for Disabled Persons and the Elderly, (7) Lingap sa Barangay
and (8) Day Care Services.
As per records, a total of 33 day care centers are present in the city. Out of 34 barangays, 32 have
their own day care centers with playgrounds and other basic amenities.

3.2.3.1 Educational Attainment and Literacy Rate

The literacy rate is defined by the percentage of the population of a given age group that can read
and write. According to the Global Partnership for Education, education is considered to be a
human right and plays a crucial role in human, social, and economic development. Education
promotes gender equality, fosters peace, and increases a person's chances of having more and
better life and career opportunities. Education is clearly a vital contributor to any city’s overall
health.
In 2015, Tagaytay City’s literacy rate is 99.54%. From the PSA record, out of 55,301 HH
population from 10 years old and over, 55,046 or 99.54% were literate and 0.46% of the
population were considered illiterate. Females recorded a basic literacy rate of 99.59% while
males were literate at a rate of 99.48%.

Chapter 4. LOCAL ECONOMY

4.1 The Primary sector
4.1.1 Agricultural Crops

Agriculture has been the traditional economic base of Tagaytay City as such will remain be a
significant sector in the city’s economic development.
While soil characteristics of the City are generally highly suitable for agriculture, topography on
the other hand, is determined as the natural constraint, which has limited available land area that
may be conveniently cultivated. With very rugged topography in the ridge area and eastern
section of the city, only about 2,304 hectares of 34.83% of the city’s total land area of 6,500
hectares are highly suitable for cultivation. Because of this natural constraint, substantial area of
the agriculturally unsuited land, the steep land which comprise the southeastern part of central
part of the ridge have been pressured to shifting diversified crops cultivation.
The proven adaptability of the Tagaytay land to various cultivation encourages shifting of
agricultural lands to high-income crops. Because of unlimited market for and high income
derived from coffee, substantial portion of the city’s land have been developed into coffee farms.
As per City Nutrition Office report as of January 2020, the total number of households with
vegetable gardens is 18,912.
4.1.1.1 Agricultural Croplands

Although Tagaytay is rapidly transforming into a prime metropolis and is considered as a tourism
area, upgrading the income level as well as the enhancement of its agricultural facilities is still
one of the main thrusts of the City Government. Agricultural production occupies 1,081.784
hectares or 16.643% of the total land area. The primary agricultural crops in Tagaytay are: coffee
that occupies the largest portion with 542.563 hectares or 8.347% of the total land area; followed
by pineapple with 331.076 hectares (5.093%), banana intercropped with other fruit trees such
as guyabano, jackfruit, papaya, and avocado occupy 97.159 hectares or 1.5% of the total land area.
Other crops include vegetables (59.427 ha.), root crops (40.05 ha), and ornamental and bonsai
plants (7.08 ha), among others. Production volume and value per crop are shown in Table 45.
4.1.1.2 Crop Production

Cropland is land used for the cultivation of crops, both temporary (annuals) and permanent
(perennials). The leading crops produced are pineapple, root crops, coffee, banana, and upland
vegetables in terms of volumes produced. With regards to land area, the most extensively grown
crops occupying the farm land are coffee, pineapple, banana, upland vegetables and root crops.
Only a few infrastructures are in place in these production areas such as rain shelters and green
houses. Technical assistance to these infrastructures is provided by the City Agriculture Office to
all farmers.

It is imperative to include the plans for farmers and small-scale agri-entrepreneurs.

Simultaneous with the provision of programs and projects for the farmers, the City can also look
into providing opportunities to informal sectors like small traders and/or small-scale businesses
(e.g., those who are selling farm-produced products and ornamental plants on the roadsides).
To date, a total of 1,231 agricultural occupations/groups in Urban and rural areas are present in
the city. While 136 hectares are considered CARPable lands at the same time, no agrarian related
concerns were reported so far according to City Agriculture Office.

Slaughterhouse
The existing slaughterhouse is located at Barangay Kaybagal South across the Mahogany Public
Market. In 2018, the average number of cattle and swine butchered per month is totalled to 2,096
and 2,206 respectively.
Public Market
Tagaytay has two public markets, namely, the Tagaytay City and Mahogany Markets. Tagaytay
City Market was established in the early 50s. It is located at Barangay Tolentino East, Tagaytay
City within a 2.5 hectare property donated by the city’s political icon - Tolentino-Oñate clan. It
started with only makeshift structure like “talipapa” and then Marcos Type Building was
constructed in the late 60s. It is known in the upper-Cavite Province as the main source of fresh
fruits particularly sweet pineapple, banana, and papaya.
A new building was completed in 2005 to accommodate the wet, grocery, dry sections. To meet
the increasing volume of business in the area, another three-storey building was constructed in
2008. Regular market day is every Wednesdays and Saturdays. Nevertheless, several stalls in the
dry and wet sections are open daily to serve the public.
Mahogany Market was established in 1994. It is known as the main source of quality beef not
only within the province but also in the adjoining provinces including Metro Manila. Its
construction and renovation of the new Mahogany Market building has recently completed and
open to public.
4.3.3 Transportation and Communications

4.3.3.1 Transportation
Traffic composition at Aguinaldo Highway shows typical mixing of different transport mode in
the road network. Combined number of buses, Jeepneys, motorbikes, and tricycles are more than
half of the total traffic considering tourism is the city’s top industry.
At the Sta. Rosa – Tagaytay Road, share of trucks is significant and this is because of the presence
of manufacturing companies in the areas of Province of Batangas, Silang and Sta. Rosa, Laguna.
Presently plying Aguinaldo Highway and Sta. Rosa-Tagaytay Road are experiencing congestion
during peak periods and weekends. These routes provide linkage between Metro Manila, Cavite
and Batangas. Moderate to heavy traffic can be expected during weekends and holiday seasons
making travel to the city somehow challenging to tourists.
140 | P a g e
A study was conducted by the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Region IV-
A stated that Tagaytay City had reached critical levels on road capacity since major roads leading
to the city already have moderate to heavy traffic. However, different management schemes were
so far being implemented by the city government to provide solutions in improving overall traffic
safety and efficiency especially in the central business. More bypass roads were also considered
to provide an alternative route to ease the congestion of vehicles passing along Tagaytay.
Commercial establishments were also required to provide parking spaces in order to discourage
roadside parking.
As in other towns and cities, the major modes of transport in Tagaytay are buses, jeeps, tricycle
and cars. These transit types provide mobility services within the city.
Running almost perpendicular to the arterial roads are eight other arterial roads, seven of which
are maintained by the national government. At present, all of these are vital road linkages in as
much as they provide access to the towns and cities of the four regions/provinces, namely: Metro
Manila, Laguna, Batangas and Cavite. These arterial roads are enumerated as follows:
Tagaytay – Manila via Silang Road (National Road)

As declared by the National Historical Institute (NHI), the Local Government of Tagaytay City has
been maintaining and protecting at least two (2) historical sites/landmarks, namely: 1) Tagaytay

camp and trained for war, prior to joining the ensuing Battle of Bataan. A bas-relief sculpture also
helps tell the heroic story of the defenders of Bataan and Corregidor.
Other oldest historical landmarks can found in the city include: 1) Taal Vista Hotel (formerly
known as Taal Vista Lodge)- the very first hotel established in 1938 by Manila Hotel. It later on
became Taal Vista Hotel runs by SM Development Corporation. 2) Picnic Grove – since 1980, it
has been under the direct management/supervision of Strategic Investment Development
Corporation (SIDCOR). And in 1989, with the consent of the City Government of Tagaytay,
assigned its rights and interest to the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA). Consequently, it was
turned over to the City Government after 25 years in 2005. Since then the facility has been under
the management of the City Government of Tagaytay. 3) People’s Park also known as Palace in
the Sky. The park was converted from an incomplete mansion built during the Marcos era to host
the visit of U.S. President Ronald Reagan. Work stopped when Reagan canceled his visit due to
EDSA PEOPLE’S POWER REVOLUTION in 1986. It was converted into People’ Park during the
administration of President Fidel V. Ramos in 1995. The City Government of Tagaytay maintains
the park’s operation since then. The Shrine of Our Lady, Mother of Fair Love and a Doppler
Weather Radar Station maintained by PAGASA are also within the park. 4) Development Academy
of the Philippines (DAP) – a government-owned and controlled corporation established in 1973
with the original charter created by P.D. No. 205, amended by P.D. 1061, and further amended by
E.O. No. 288.
Aside from those tangible cultural assets, the city also observes some festivities, such as barrio
fiestas in various barangays honoring their respective Patron Saints. The celebration is
highlighted by the procession, karakol and a Eucharistic Celebration or the Holy Mass as the
culminating activity. It also became a traditional activity of the city during the “Araw ng
Tagaytay” (City’s Founding Anniversary) to hold “Tagaytay Festivals”. The celebration features
prominent foold delicacies and major agricultural products of the city. The 34 barangays are
clustered into four and assigned the name of festival they will depict, such as: 1) Bulalo Festival,
2) Flower Festival, 3) Barbecue Festival and, 4)Piña Festival. The groups compete each other
through street dancing. The winner then is declared the over-all champion and would defend
the title in the succeeding festival.

Chapter 5. INFRASTRUCTURE/ UTILITIES/

FACILITIES
The upgrading of the city’s entire physical infrastructure system shall be undertaken in order to
cope with the increasing development activities. One of the highlights is the construction of the
new arterial highway. The highway implementation has to be complemented by the judicious
application of land use policies. Otherwise, the city may be engulfed by urbanization, as
developable lands may be accessible from north to south.
The construction and completion of the by-pass road taking-off from the intersection of the
Tagaytay-Batangas Arterial Highway and the Tagaytay-Manila via Silang Road westward to the
town of Alfonso is already on-going. The city has succeeded in its lobbying effort for this long-
time conceived project of DPWH. This shall serve as the primary inter-town route significantly
reducing urban pressure along the prime strip of the City, which is mainly due to inter-town
traffic.
An added feature of this Spatial Development Strategy is the on-going arterial highway towards
the east initially connecting to the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road traversing the Kaykulot Road in
Barangay Sungay East and thence to the Tagaytay-Canlubang Road. The purpose of this is to direct
inter-town traffic from Laguna (Sta. Rosa, Canlubang and Calamba) to the arterial highway
(westward) avoiding the passage through the Tagaytay-Sta. Rosa Road and Isaac Tolentino
Avenue.
5.1 Inventory of Roads by Classification

For purposes of prioritizing the development maintenance of the roads within Tagaytay, the city’s
circulation system is thus, categorized into three (3) functional hierarchical classifications:
national highways, arterial collector and service road classification. Based on these
classifications, roads characterized as arterial are given top priority as to
development/maintenance while the service roads are comparatively given low priority.
The major arterial road of the city is the national Highway horizontally traversing the city. Aside
from being the city’s primary road, which links most of the city’s barangays, it also serves as a
national thoroughfare connecting Tagaytay to the province of Laguna and to the province of
Batangas.

5.2 Bridges
The city has a total of five (5) bridges, two of which are maintained by the national government
and three by the City Government. The bridges classified as national are both situated at
163 | P a g e
Barangay Silang Crossing and are made of concrete. The bridges maintained by the City
Government are located at Barangays Neogan, Kaybagal and Zambal.

5.3 Flood control and Drainage Facilities

Due to the rugged terrain of the land, the major drainage outfalls of the city are those existing
creeks (intermittent creeks). These intermittent creeks fall in three (3) major water bodies, the
Manila Bay, Taal Lake and Laguna de Bay.
All areas/land on the northern portion of the Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road draws to Manila Bay
traversing the Municipality of Mendez, Indang, Amadeo and other downstream Municipality
covered by three (3) Major River System the Maragondon River System, Cañas-Maalimango River
System, and Rio-Grande River System.
All areas/land on the northern portion of the Isaac Tolentino Avenue drains to Laguna de Bay
traversing the Municipality of Silang, City of Sta. Rosa, Municipality of Carmona, City of San Pedro
and City of Calamba through the San Pedro and San Cristobal River System.
All areas/Land in the southern portion of Tagaytay-Nasugbu Road and Isaac Tolentino Avenue,
both National Roads, drains to Tall Lake passing the Municipality of Talisay and Laurel.
Current condition of Drainage System

All rainwater and storm drain are being collected mostly by existing road drainage and canal,
some naturally drain to low-lying open areas leading to the existing creeks. These existing
drainage systems fall also on the creeks within the area.
Existing national roads and provincial roads within the territorial jurisdiction of Tagaytay City
have drainage canal/ pipes constructed by the Department of Public Works and Highways
(DPWH).
Some city roads and barangay roads have drainage canal but most of them have no drainage
except those barangay roads of barangay Calabuso, Sambong, Bagong Tubig, Iruhin East and
Iruhin Central where in the type of road profile is Type-C, drainage is not appropriate due to slope
on both sides of the road which are steep slope downward.

5.4 Domestic Water Supply
Major Sources of Potable Water

The city’s main sources of water are springs, rainwater and ground water. The main springs are:
Kaybubutong Spring located at Barangay Sambong -serving eighteen (18) barangays; Matang
Tubig in Barangay Francisco which serves eight (8) barangays and the Pulong Usiw Spring located
at Barangay Iruhin Central - serving the adjacent barangays. Monthly bacterial testing is made to
ensure that clean and safe potable water is provided to the inhabitants.
The Kaybubutong Spring has an estimated total water output of 118 liters per second and is
situated at an elevation of 324 meters. The Matang Tubig Spring on the other hand, has a capacity
of 11.35 liters per second and has an altitude of 505 meters. Pulong Usiw has a capacity of 1.76
liters per second. Majority of the barangays depend on these springs. There are also minor springs
within the city from which the residents draw water, namely:
1. Banauan Spring - Barangay Iruhin East

2. Naalas Spring - Barangay San Jose
3. Alingayngay Spring - Barangay Silang Crossing
4. Ambon-ambon - Barangay Iruhin East
5. Bayanan Spring - Dapdap West

Type of Water System

The city’s main sources of water are springs, rainwater and ground water. The main springs are:
Kaybubutong Spring, which are located at Barangay Sambong and Matang Tubig Spring in
Barangay Francisco. Monthly bacterial testing is made to ensure that safe potable water is served
to the inhabitants.
The Kaybubutong Spring has an estimated total water output of 118 liters per second and is
situated at an elevation of 324 meters. The Matang Tubig Spring on the other hand, has a capacity
of 11.35 liters per second and has an altitude of 505 meters.
The barangays in the city which have water systems are those being served by the Tagaytay City
Water District (TCWD). The TCWD derives its water supply from the city’s two major springs. In
each of these springs, it has set up waterworks facilities which include a spring intake structure,
pump station, transmission line, distribution reservoir, distribution lines and appurtenances.
Barangays Sambong and Bagong Tubig and Sitio Labak ng Sungay in Barangay Sungay East derive
water from an elevated spring source by free flow through pipeline in Level II Water System.
Barangay Calabuso, Dapdap West and Sitio Bulalong Matanda in Iruhin East obtain water from a
spring below through submersible pump and operate in Level II Water System. Barangay Maitim
II West and Maitim II Central get their water from deep well with a 5 Hp submersible pump also
operate in level III Water System. Other deep wells in the city are privately owned.
As of December 2021, 17, 871 households are being served by the TCWD. Other households
obtain water directly from springs, rainwater or deep wells. 33 out of 34 barangays are being
served by TCWD-Prime Water Joint Venture Partnership.
Presently, 98.66% of the total number of households is being served by the TCWD. Other
households obtain water directly from springs, rainwater or deep wells. Thirty-three (33) out of
thirty-four (34) barangays are being served by Prime Water-TCWD.
5.5 Power Supply

Currently, 98.43% of the total household have access to electricity (MERALCO).
5.6 Transport Facilities

Tagaytay City occupies strategic pointing at the boundaries of Cavite, Batnagas and Laguna
Provinces. Tagaytay is accessible by land from all directions through eight (8) national entrances
and exits. The same roads likewise serve as the link between the city’s barangays making all
barangays accessible by road. Aside from being the city’s primary road, it also serves as a national
thoroughfare connecting the Province of Laguna and Province of Batangas. Running almost
perpendicular to the main roads are eight (8) other arterial roads. At present, all of these are vital
road linkages in as much as they provide access to the towns and cities in the Region including
the Mega Manila.
Service roads also branch out from theses arterial roads, which includes all the City and Barangay
Roads in the area. Aside from serving as the main access of the population in the inner portion of
Tagaytay, these roads are also used as farm-to-market roads.
169 | P a g e
As in other towns and cities, the major modes of public transport in Tagaytay are buses, jeeps,
vans and tricycles. These transit types provide mobility within and outside the city and which
likewise provide transportation services to Tagaytay residents. Vans also provides public
transport services going to Laguna and Metro Manila.
At present, the city has established a City Central Terminal. This public terminal is located
strategically along the highway in Barangay Maitim II East used by public utility vehicles.
Amenities of the terminal include: refreshment parlors, sari-sari stores, souvenir shops, etc.

5.8 Waste Disposal System
Solid Waste
It is the city’s inherent environmental characteristics, which has fuelled its present state of
growth. Environmental management measures are provided for the city’s terrestrial, natural
scenic environment, water resource and urban and rural environments. The protection and
management of all these is the key towards sustaining the city’s growth and development.
Increasing population is putting a lot of stress on the environment, particularly on the volume of
waste generated by the residents and the commercial establishments in the city. The City
generates an estimated average of 30 tons per day of garbage and collected an estimated average
of 27 tons per day. The garbage collection is under the direct supervision of the City Environment
and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) while the disposal is undertaken by a private hauler and
disposed the same in an accredited landfill facility in Barangay San Antonio, San Pedro, Laguna.
With this volume of Solid Waste generated and collected, the City Government of Tagaytay in
coordination with the barangays, private and business sectors, has implemented measures to
lessen the impact of improper solid waste disposal in the City.
These measures being undertaken by the City Government are conduct of massive campaign on
Waste Reduction, re-use and recycling. Households at the barangay level were given orientation
on proper solid waste management including segregation at source. Business establishments
including the two (2) public markets are encouraged to segregate their solid wastes and practice
waste minimization. The residual wastes being collected are disposed in a sanitary landfill outside
the City.
All Barangays of the City are encouraged to put up their own Material Recovery Facility or even
an Ecology Center in order to comply with their mandates. Some households in the barangay are
practicing composting and re-use and recycling of their generated solid waste.
Several Ordinances were passed by the City Council and implemented in the entire city to attain
the goal of waste reduction. Also, in ordinance is enacted regulating the use of plastic bags and
prohibiting the use of Styrofoam, and plastic residual waste in the City.
Liquid Waste
Tagaytay suffers from the absence of central sewerage system/waste water treatment system.
Since these facilities require massive resources, the city business establishments are using
natural drainage and a multi-chamber (sealed) septic vault.

5.9 Lifeline Exposure and Risk

The lifeline utilities observed in the municipality are the road networks. The vulnerabilities observed in the lifeline utilities of the City are surface type,
existing condition, year constructed and employment of resilient design. On the other hand, adaptive capacities that were analyzed were the capacity
and willingness to relocate or retrofit, presence of access to infrastructure-related mitigation measures, access to insurance coverage, government
investments and government regulations of hazard mitigation, zoning and structural design standards.
5.9.1 Exposure to Hazards

There are about 15.9 kilometers of roads recorded in the city as of 2021. Based from the spatial analysis, about 1.19% of roads or 0.19 kilometers are
subjected to very high susceptibility to landslide. This is only the national road located in Brgy. San Jose. Those under the high susceptibility to landslide
registered about 3.94 kilometers or abou 24.78% located at Bagong Tubig, Calabuso, Dapdap East, Dapdap West, Francisco, Iruhin Central, Iruhin East,
Iruhin West Mendez Crossing East, Mendez Crossing West, Neogan, Sambong, San Jose, Silang Crossing East, Sungay East, Sungay West, and Tolentino
West. Moreover, those under moderate susceptibility are only 3.71% or 0.58 kilometers. The rest (11.18 kilometers or about 70.31%) are at low
susceptibility.
5.9.2 Risk to Hazards

Road networks at very high risk to landslide was registered to be about 1.01 km and an estimated of about PhP 100, 542, 443.00 worth of replacement
cost if affected fully by the hazard. These are found in Bagong Tubig, Calabuso, Dapdap East, Dapdap West and Sambong. Those at high risk to landslide
are estimated to be about 1.90 km and a total replacement cost of about PhP 23, 288, 810.00. When it comes to lifeline utilities at moderate risk, about
12.47 km are affected with about PhP 1, 238, 768, 381.00. The remaining road networks are at low risk with 0.51 km affected and a possible
replacement cost of about PhP 51, 470, 874.00.

Volume 1. Comprehensive Land Use Plan (2020-2029) Tagaytay City
Chapter 6. LOCAL INSTITUTIONAL CAPABILITY

6.1 Local Government Structure
6.1.1 Political Subdivision

Thirty-four barangays comprise the city, of which 25 are urban and the rest are rural. Table 1
indicates the names of barangays and their respective land area
6.1.2 Governance
The present organization of the Local Government of Tagaytay is a divisional structure with two
distinct branches: the Executive and the Legislative Branches.
Executive Branch of Local Governance

The Executive Branch is composed of eighteen (18) departments and eight (8) offices, which are
divided into services, divisions and sections. The City Mayor heads the organization, from whom
all the executive authority and responsibility originates. The City Administrator is positioned
next in the hierarchy in so far as it exercises delegated authority from the City Mayor. He
supervises the operations of line and staff departments, offices and units.
Legislative Branch of Local Governance

The Vice Mayor presided over the Sangguniang Panglungsod (SP), which is the policy-making
body of the city. The SP is composed of the Vice Mayor, the elected regular council members, the
president of the city chapter of the Liga ng mga Barangay and the vice president of the Pederasyon
ng mga Sangguniang Kabataan. The Office of the City Secretary serves as the Secretary to the
Council. It also provides legislative, administrative and secretarial support services to the said
body.
As the main policy-making body of the local government, the SP, among others, enacts ordinances,
approves resolutions and appropriates fund for the general welfare of the city residents. It
likewise regulates activities related to the use of land, street, sidewalks, bridges, parks and other
public places and approves of the construction of the same.
A unique feature of the Sangguniang Panglungsod in Tagaytay City is that the councilors have
their designated political jurisdiction known as the Councilor’s Area of Responsibility (CAR). This
serves as an extension of the Mayor’s Office. It aims to ensure that public services are delivered
efficiently, effectively and equitably. In this sense, the lead legislators also perform a policy-
