PHYSICAL AND INFRASTRUCTURE RESOURCES
1.4.1 Transportation Network
Makati is a major traffic generator for the greater Metropolitan Manila Area
because it is the primary Central Business District of the country. The City
attracts a large amount of vehicle traffic due to its relatively large resident
population and its predominantly service-oriented economy. Thus, the City
regulates the in-bound and out-bound traffic during the morning and afternoon
peak hours respectively. Mobility and accessibility, is one (1) of Makatis most
important requirements. However, continuing population growth, economic
development, and corresponding increases in vehicular trips that are internally
generated or passing through the City have constrained regional accessibility
and local circulation. It is, therefore, a great concern that any further
development in the City must be sustainable in terms of its traffic-carrying
capacity, or programs are identified to mitigate potential severe congestion.
Road Network System
The Citys road network is part of a system of circumferential and radial roads
of Metro Manila (Figure 3). Traffic congestion within Makati is compounded
by the fact that major expressways exist in north and south of Metro Manila
but they are not interconnected. As a result, north and south through traffic
is fed to major roads that are at the same time the major gateways to Makati.
These gateways are Roxas Boulevard, Osmea Highway, EDSA, and C5.
Among these roads, EDSA is the busiest with 170,000 vehicles per day
along the stretch from Guadalupe Bridge to Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue. Next is
C5 with 136,000 vehicles per day within the vicinity of Kalayaan Avenue
and Fort Bonifacio. Osmea Highway has 115,000 vehicles per day within
the Don Bosco area, while Roxas Boulevard has 75,000 vehicles per day
within the segment south of Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue.
Several projects were in place to improve gateways capacity to Makati City.
These include the EDSA interchanges (Sen. Gil Puyat-EDSA northbound
interchange, Ayala Avenue-EDSA northbound interchange, and, EDSA-AyalaPasay Road Interchange) and the Metro Manila Skyway (Don Bosco slip
ramps, Pasay Road-Amorsolo ramps, and Sen. Gil Puyat Ave Ramps).
Feeder roads to the City are J.P. Rizal Avenue, Kalayaan Avenue, Sen. Gil
Puyat Avenue, Ayala Avenue, and Chino Roces Avenue. The roads
combined with 435 kilometers of Makati roads (distributed among its 1,151
streets) provide travel space for both Makati and external traffic.

Traffic Volume and Demand
Based on 2011 estimates, Makati generates 594,872 vehicle trips daily
equivalent to about 13% of the 4.5 million Metro Manila vehicle trips. The
major destinations of Makati City internal traffic reckoned from Barangay
Poblacion are the Makati CBD and clusters of Barangays in Northwest and
Northeast. Eleven percent of internal traffic crosses Epifanio Delos Santos
Avenue (EDSA) making this a major traffic issue considering that EDSA is a
10-lane highway with commuter rail line at the center.
For regional distribution of external traffic, 62% is northbound (including City of
Manila), 25% is southbound (including Pasay City), and 13% is eastbound
(Taguig, Pateros, Marikina, and eastern province of Rizal)
In terms of vehicle composition, of the total traffic generated by the City, 55%
is car; 25% jeepneys; 6% buses; and, 14% trucks or goods vehicles.
Jeepneys and buses are transit vehicles and they have fixed routes. Car
travel is being managed through Number Coding scheme. This works in a
manner where vehicles with plate numbers end in one (1) or two (2) are
barred from city streets from seven (7) in the morning to seven (7) in the
evening on Mondays, Three (3) and four (4) on Tuesdays, and so on. Truck
traffic is also managed by way of truck ban. On major roads, truck ban
extends from seven (7) to ten (10) in the morning and four (4) to seven (7) in
the evening.
Transit Network
The transit systems in the City are road-based (jeepneys and buses) and railbased (rail). For road-based transit, jeepneys are taken mainly for local
circulation while buses, with the exception of Fort Bus, are regional in scope
and service. Rail-based transit lines that serve Makati are all part of the
regional system. This includes the LRT 1, MRT 3, and the PNR. (Figure 4)
Rail Transit
The Philippine National Railways (PNR), is a railway company owned by
the Philippine Government that operates a commuter line service in Metro
Manila and another line to the Bicol Region. PNR restored its daily ManilaNaga intercity commuter service to the Bicol Region, called the Bicol Express,
in 2011. The PNR stations that service the City are located along Osmea
Highway with stations at Sen. Gil Puyat Avenue, Pasay Road, EDSA, and
Nichols. In 2010, PNR carries 8,000 passengers daily through its commuter
line service.
Light Rail Transit Line 1 (LRT1) originally operates from Taft Avenue to
Monumento with 18 stations. In October 2010, its north extension project
began commercial operations up to Roosevelt with two (2) additional stations.
Soon, LRT 1 will connect with the EDSA MRT 3 at North Avenue. In 2011,
LRT 1 has an average total daily passenger boarding of 435,121 with an
average fare of 14 pesos. The Sen. Gil Puyat Station of LRT 1 directly serves
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Makati commuters. In 2011, this station served about 6,000 commuters for
one (1) peak hour.
Mass Rail Transit 3 (MRT 3) is also known as EDSA MRT because it runs
almost the entire stretch of EDSA. This is thus far the most important rail
system that serves Makati since four of its stations are located inside the City.
With estimated peak-hour passenger volume in 2011, these stations include
Guadalupe (5,463 passengers); Sen. Gil Puyat (3,499 passengers); Ayala
(6,247 passengers) and, Magallanes (5,130 passengers). For its entire
alignment, MRT 3 has 13 stations and the average daily passenger boarding
is about 427,000 in 2011. Majority of MRT 3 commuters are mostly
employees.
Light Rail Transit 2 (or LRT 2) has no direct impact on Makati Commuters
except that it links with MRT 3 at Cubao Station and LR1 at Bambang Station
(Recto). LRT 2 runs east-west direction, with eleven stations. LRT 2 is under
capacity with only 177,000 average daily passengers boarding. According to
surveys, LRT 2 commuters are majority students.
Water Transport
The water-based transportation that used to serve commuters through Pasig
River is the Pasig River Ferry Service. The Pasig River Ferry Service has
fourteen stations with two (2) stations located in Makati the Valenzuela
Station in Barangay Valenzuela and the Guadalupe Station in Barangay
Guadalupe Nuevo. When it was still operational under SCC Nautical
Transport Services Inc. (NTSI), its route was from Barangay Pinagbuhatan in
Pasig City to Intramuros in Manila and vice versa. The boats have maximum
capacity of 150 passengers, but the actual demand is much lower with only
less than 2,000 passengers per day. During its run from 2007 to 2011, the
boats ran at an average of 19 kilometers per hour (10 knots). (Figure 5).
Other than the Pasig River Ferry System, informal boat system exists called
Tawiran using a traditional boat to cross the Pasig River going to and from
the adjacent City of Mandaluyong.
Air Transport
Makati is very accessible to the commercial airports of Metro Manila. The
usual route of EDSA-Tramo to the airport terminal is only about six (6)
kilometers. Accessibility of Makati City to the airport was further enhanced
with the opening of the NAIA Expressway Phase 1 (Figure 6). This is
basically a set of ramps from of Skyway to Sales Avenue fronting NAIA
Terminal 3. Helicopter service from most of the citys hotels is also available
as chartered service while top companies have their private helicopters for
limited services.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Traffic Demand Management (TDM)
Traffic demand management measures in Makati are aimed at providing
rational traffic operations by increasing mobility. The TDMs are in the form of
one-way street system and signalization. To encourage walking, the Central
Business District of Makati also embarked on the construction of a pedestrian
walkways network consisting of elevated, at-grade pedestrian-protected
walkways (Figure 7).

1.4.2 Social Services Facilities, Utilities and Amenities
Health
The good health status of the Makati can be attributed to its comprehensive
health packages from womb to tomb which belongs to the Citys top priorities
every year. For 2011, Makati allocated Php1.491B or 18.1% of the total
expenditures.
The effort of the City in making Makati a healthy city to live and work has
gained recognition not only in the country but also abroad. Indeed, the
Makati Health Program (MHP), one of breakthroughs on the Citys health
development which was emulated by other local government units, has
received its first international recognition from Dubai International Award
for Best Practices to Improve the Living Environment.
The remarkable improvement of the City health statistics, as shown by the
different health indicators, is due to its regular preventive and curative
program done by different departments/offices. Each office works hand in
hand to achieve the City Health sectoral mission that is to maintain the
Makati citizenry in an optimum state of wellness thru a health care system
that is client-sensitive and financially sustainable that leverages and networks
with private sector and other public agencies.
Dedicated to optimizing the health and well-being of its residents, the City
continuously maintains a comprehensive health care program through its wide
network of health facilities and personnel, as well as a health financing
scheme that provides solutions to the perennial health issues related to
access, quality, and cost of healthcare. A wide array of health programs and
services are being provided by the Citys four (4) departments: Makati Health
Department, Ospital ng Makati, Makati Veterinary Services Office, and Makati
Health Program Office.
Vital Health Indicators
Makatis Crude Birth Rate (CBR) has been on a decreasing trend over the last
six (6) years. Gradual decrease in CBR has been noted from 2006 to 2007
and from 2008 to 2011. But between 2007 and 2008, decline was quite sharp
at 31.2 to 22.33 per 1000 population. This declining trend can probably be
due to increased contraceptive prevalence rate, from 27.0% in 2007 to 32.5%
in 2009.
Crude Death Rate displayed a fluctuating trend over the last five years. From
2006 and 2007, a slight increase was noted from 6.5 to 6.8 per 1000
population. However, it went down to 5.0 per 1000 population in 2008, but
slightly went up to 5.3 and 5.5 per 1000 population in 2009 and 2010,
respectively. In 2011, as compared with the figure in 2010, the rate decreased
by only 0.14 point.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Maternal Mortality Rate was on a downward trend from 0.32 in 2007 to 0.27
per 1000 live births in 2009. The decline was due to the early detection of
complication of pregnancy, accessible back up hospital, and prompt and
efficient system for risk cases. However, an increase was noted in 2011 at 1.1
per 1000 live births.
A generally increasing trend was observed in the Citys Infant Mortality Rate
from 2006-2011. Data from 2006 to 2008 showed an increasing trend from 7.7
to 10.8 per 1000 live births. It slightly declined to 10.6 per 1000 live births in
2009 but moved up to 11.3 per 1000 live births in 2010 and to 11.7 in 2011.
The increasing trend in Infant Mortality Rate in 2008 was due mainly to the
upsurge of sepsis cases in Ospital ng Makati. Corrective measures, however,
have been undertaken including intensification of breastfeeding advocacy and
implementation of infection prevention and control measures. Nevertheless,
Infant and Under-five Mortality Rates of Makati are lower compared to the
2006 national averages of 24 and 32 per 1000 live births. The Maternal
Mortality Rate of Makati at 0.39 per 1000 live births was likewise lower than
the 2006 national rate of 138 per 100,000 live births (or 1.38 per 1000 live
births). Even then, such rate in maternal deaths should be addressed and
further reduced given the existing modern facilities and services of the City.
Malnutrition Prevalence Rate showed a decreasing trend over the 5-year
period, thus, an indication of success in providing the residents the right
approach and strategies in combating malnutrition among pre-schoolers.

Nutrition
Table 11 shows the malnutrition prevalence rate of the City among children
ages 0-6 years old. Data shows that a very satisfactory nutritional status
among pre-schoolers in Makati. The figures in the table below reveal that preschool aged children whose weight is within the normal range comprised
93.2% to 97.2% during the 6-year period. No wonder Makati is one of the
cities with the lowest malnutrition prevalence and has been consistently cited
as one of the healthiest cities in the country.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Furthermore, the percentage of overweight and underweight children was
very low compared to the national figure, and such rate seemed to
continuously decrease. Data further reveals that there were more overweight
than underweight children.
Efforts to reduce the number of overweight children should be done through
monitoring, counseling, information and education campaign on the identified
overweight children. Activities conducted to improve the nutritional status of
children included monthly monitoring of identified underweight and overweight
pre-schoolers, micronutrient supplementation, food assistance, cooking
demonstration, promotion and utilization of iodized salt and fortified foods,
home and community food production, income generating projects and
nutrition education. These interventions helped reduce the Citys malnutrition
prevalence.
This current trend in nutritional status showed that the efforts of the City on
the implementation of nutrition programs in coordination with all its barangays
and the entire social development sector have remarkable effects in reducing
malnutrition prevalence among pre-schoolers.

Makati Health Plus (MHP) Program
The City has several programs and projects intended for the residents. The
focus is not only towards development of the City but also the improvement of
the welfare of residents and people who primarily render services for the
development of Makati. One of the programs of the City is the Makati Health
Plus Program whereby residents are given color-coded cards that give them
discounts on hospital bills and consultation fees. Availing of this program
reduces the patients burden of paying their hospital bills. The Makati Health
Program Office is the overall in-charge of the program operations.
As of 2011, the City has a total of 211,118 program beneficiaries. Of this total,
more members are registered as MHP 1 or with yellow card, which entitles
beneficiaries to 100% discount for bills amounting P5,000 or less, or pay only
P200 for bills above to P5,000. The City Government Employees are
automatically entitled to yellow cards. Low-income households and individuals
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
including senior citizens belong to MHP 1 or yellow card bearers. The MHP
guidelines, however, on patient entitlements on MHP need to be reviewed and
revised accordingly.

Veterinary Services
Rabies prevention and control, stray animal operations and the quality control
of meat, poultry and fish products are some of the major activities handled by
the Veterinary Services Office. Makati has a dog impounding facility for strays
and its Responsible Pet Ownership program may have contributed to the
decrease in number of impounded stray dogs. Meanwhile, of the total 19,252
dog population in 2011, only about half were registered and immunized.
Coverage of dog immunization reached 94% of total registered dogs. As a
result, no death due to rabies exposure was reported within the period from
2007 to 2011, except for 2 cases in 2009.

Public Health Personnel
Table 14 shows the health manpower of the Makati Health Department
(MHD). In 2011, MHD had a total of 567 health personnel, composed of
physicians, dentists, nurses, midwives, sanitary inspectors, medical
technologist, nutritionist, barangay health workers and barangay nutrition
scholars. Based on the national standard population to health personnel ratio,
MHD lacks 13 sanitary inspectors, seven (7) nutritionist, and 16 barangay

Education, Culture and the Arts
Education is a basic constitutional right as stipulated in Article 1, Section 17
and Article 14, Sections 1-4 of the 1987 Constitution. Furthermore, Section 1
of the Republic Act 9155 states the policy of the State to protect and promote
the right of all citizens to quality basic education accessible to all and that
such education includes alternative learning system for out-of-school youth
and adult learners.
Given its thrust of empowering its constituents and improving their capacity to
engage in economic activities, the Makati City Government continuously
provides and improves public education from pre-school to college. Provision
of quality education extends to the out-of-school youths, undergraduate and
unemployed adults, and the physically and mentally handicapped residents of
the City.
On arts and culture, the City has a variety of cultural resources for its
residents and visitors to explore, thus the continued preservation efforts to
ensure that the historic structures remain intact and other intangible cultural
assets preserved and enhanced.
Education
As a tool for congruent economic and social development of the City, the level
and quality of education accessed by its residents should be attuned with the
demands of both the local and foreign business communities. Furthermore,
future impacts on the public school system must be monitored as school-age
population grows in order to determine the capacity of existing educational
facilities and manpower to accommodate such growth.
Literacy Rate
Literacy rate is the percentage of the population who are able to read and
write. Makati has a high literacy rate of 98.93% as of 2000, slightly higher
than the NCR literacy rate. Female literacy rate is slightly higher than male
literacy rate.

Educational Attainment of Population
Based on the 2007 Census, the highest educational attainment completed by
majority of the population in Makati was high school. This was comprised of
162,899 individuals, or 33% of the total household population 5 years old and
over. Out of this number, 72% finished high school while 28% were
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
undergraduates. More females (56%) than males (44%) were high school
graduates.
Those who did not have any grade completed comprised only 3% of the
population, while 18% had elementary education. More males than the
females were without any formal education. Of those who have had
elementary education, 51% were able to complete 1st to 4th grade only, 14%
until 5th to 6th grade, and 36% were able to graduate.
College undergraduates comprised 15% of the total population, while 21%
were academic degree holders. Less than 1% of the population were PostBaccalaureate degree holders.
More females than males were able to achieve post-secondary education,
complete college undergraduate courses and get academic degrees.
However, for some reasons, more males were able to get post-baccalaureate
degrees.

Enrolment in Public Schools
The number of enrollees in the Citys public schools for school years 2006 to
2012 showed an increasing trend although increases were negligible, except
in SYs 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 when significant increases were observed.
Annual pre-school enrolment has been confined to a level around 5,900
students from SY 2006-2007 to SY 2011-2012. Comparing the elementary
and secondary levels, annual enrolment in the former level showed a
downward trend from SY 2009-2010 to SY 2011-2012 but with only a minimal
reduction of less than 1% each year. On the other hand, enrolment in the
secondary level continuously increased during the same period. One reason
for this downward trend in elementary enrolment could be the diminishing
numbers of Grade I entrants during the recent years.

The total number of enrollees in the Citys private schools for school years
2006 to 2012, as shown in the table below, exhibited a fluctuating trend. The
same trend was also observed in the enrolment levels in pre-school and
elementary levels. At the secondary level, however, enrolment was on a rising

SPED Enrolment
Makati has four (4) schools that have special education facilities, and these
are Pio del Pilar Elementary School, N. Yabut Elementary School, Gen. Pio
del Pilar National High School and Fort Bonifacio High School. The total
number of SPED enrollees of these school showed an increasing trend,
except during SY 2008-2009 when the enrolment dropped to 88 from the 116
enrollees of the previous year. Enrolment, however, picked up in the
succeeding two (2) school years. There was a 112% increase in enrolment
during SY 2009-2010, and a 73% increase during SY 2010-2011. Fast learner
students enrolled in Pio del Pilar Elementary School and N. Yabut Elementary
School were included for SY 2011-2012. Accordingly, the increase is
attributed to transfer of students from private SPED institutions.
Meanwhile, it can also be observed that SPED enrolment in the high schools
was relatively lesser than in the elementary schools.

Open High School Enrolment
The number of enrollees in Open High School System was at its peak in SY
2011-2012 due to pilot schools with blended open high school such as San
Antonio National High School, Bangkal High School and Fort BonifacioTibagan High School Annex. In Makati High School, enrolment sustained an
increasing trend, while enrolment figures in Benigno Aquino High School and
Fort Bonifacio High School were both on a fluctuating trend during the period
2006-2012. These two high schools have shown decreases in enrolment in
the recent school year (SY 2010-2011).

Non-Formal Education (NFE) Programs
Non-Formal Education Beneficiaries
The non-formal education programs offered in Makati City are the following:
Vocational Training, Food, Special Programs and Literacy Programs. The
number of beneficiaries of these programs from school years 2005 to 2011
was on a fluctuating trend. Number of completers likewise followed a
fluctuating trend. Data also indicated that many beneficiaries of all the
programs were not able to complete the program they have enrolled in. There
were more beneficiaries of the Special Programs compared to the other
programs. Food-related programs have the least number of beneficiaries.
Completion rate in the NFE programs was highest during SY 2007-2008 with
80.2%, and lowest during SY 2006-2007 with only 43.6%. Among the NFE
courses/programs, Food related courses posted the highest completion rate in
the recent school year with 87%.
Public School Performance Indicators
Participation rates at both levels, elementary and high school, displayed a
fluctuating pattern during the school terms from 2005 to 2011. The cohort
survival rates declined from 70.4% in SY 2007-2008 to 66.6% in SY 20102011 at the elementary level, and from 70.9% to 63.6% at the secondary level
during the same periods. Generally, the trends in the drop-out rates and
cohort survival rates at both levels indicate that many students failed to finish
elementary and secondary education.
Absenteeism, poor health and employment were the common causes of
dropping out from school. All these factors were related to poor economic
conditions. Failures in grades, however, could be attributed to absenteeism,
tardiness and slow or poor mental ability.
Data shows a continuous reduction in the completion rates in the elementary
level during the school terms SY 2008-2009 to SY 2009-2010). At the
secondary level, completion rates displayed a fluctuating trend, with a
significant reduction of 9% during the SY 2006-2007 from the previous school
years rate.
Low repetition rates at the elementary level were constantly displayed during
the entire 2005-2011 period, although the rate experienced a falling trend
from SY 2006-2007 to SY 2010-2011. At the secondary level, repetition rates
were notably higher but going on a downward trend in the past years until it
manifested an increase to 3.7% in SY 2008-2009 from 2.7% during the
previous school year.

Pre-School Level
Table 25 clearly indicates a big class size for the pre-schoolers. A ratio of 1:40 to
1:47 is a big class to be handled by a teacher. Moreover, data also shows that
one (1) classroom holds about 2.5 classes, which indicates a shortage of
classrooms. Teacher-Pupil Ratio appears to be small, which may be due to the
implementation of the shifting schedules.
The City can very well provide teachers for pre-school children but the problem of
lack of classrooms to house additional pre-schoolers is a big obstacle. Most of
the pre-school classes are housed in the elementary school buildings which have
enough classrooms just for the elementary grade schoolers. To address this
concern, a two (2)-hour class schedule was tried on a pilot basis starting SY
2008-2009. While the scheme indeed increased the number of classes that were
accommodated, it adversely affected the efficiency of the teachers involved in the
pilot study. For them, holding three classes in a row is taxing. This brings the
issue of providing quality education.

Big class size and congested class schedules can be some of the primary factors
of poor performance among students. Except for Makati Science High School,
San Antonio and Makati High Schools, all high schools in Makati have class size
of 50 and above, and all adopting two (2) shifts as shown in Table 27. The Citys
public secondary level students and many elementary graders are packed in
small rooms and need to finish their classes in six (6) hours to give way to the
next batches of classes. Because of the lack of space for more classrooms in the
City, there is a need to continue in an intensified manner the remedial programs
for slow learners particularly the slow readers and the numerically illiterate
students. It also has to be expanded to cover more students needing
remediation. These problems are exacerbated by problems of alarmingly fast
turn-over of teachers -- either they are retiring at 60 or younger, resigning, or
transferring to schools or work (i.e., schools abroad, call centers). The City is
losing top-calibre teachers because of this problem. In addition, due to the salary
standardization law, there is a growing demoralization among teachers who have
more teaching loads but are getting the same pay as those who have lesser
loads. A performance-based incentive program may be needed to motivate them
to perform better.
In anticipation to the implementation of the K12 program of the national DepEd.,
freshman subject teachers will have no teaching load for the first two (2) years of
implementation of the program. This may pose a serious problem and therefore
immediate attention by DepEd.-Makati is needed.

Tertiary Level
A 1:40 teacher-student ratio was achieved in both the 1st and 2nd semesters in
SY 2004-2005 and SY 2005-2006. However, in succeeding years, as student
population rose above the 10,000 mark, the number of teachers did not increase
proportionately. During the 2nd semester, with student population dropping by
approximately 10% and teacher population maintained, a 1:40 ratio was
achieved in the last six (6) years. With student population expected to rise by at
least 5% every year, there is a need for a more responsive augmentation of
teacher complement to achieve the targeted ratio. This becomes even more
imperative particularly in UMak as it continues to lose good faculty members. The
lack of budget for specialized training for academic personnel in the tertiary level
is discouraging faculty members from staying in the university. The universitys
facilities also need to be expanded, and its equipment and manpower upgraded
to attract more students enrolling in the university. Likewise, the universitys
dormitory has to be made available not only to scholar athletes, but should also
cater to other students needing accommodation.
Condition of Educational Facilities
Based on the data presented on Table 28, it appears that educational facilities in
most public elementary and high school in Makati were in good condition as of
SY 2009-2010.
At the secondary level, only Fort Bonifacio High School had no complete
educational facilities such as Science Laboratory, HE rooms and IA workshop
areas. All the other schools did have these educational facilities in good
conditions as of SY 2009-2010.

Culture and the Art
Through the signing of RA No. 7854 by President Fidel V. Ramos in January 2,
1995, Makati was converted into a highly urbanized City. To cope with the
demands of the new organizational structure of the City Government, City
Ordinance No. 96-052 was passed upgrading Makati Tourism and Cultural
Affairs Division into the Museum and Cultural Affairs Office (MCAO) with 2
divisions: Museum Division and the Cultural Affairs Division. Its objectives are: (i)
promotion and enhancement of culture and the arts, (ii) preservation of the Citys
historical and cultural heritage, (iii) mounting of events in partnership with the
private sector, NGOs, and other LGUs, and (iv) enhancement of peoples pride of
the country by their involvement in the activities.
Cultural and Arts Facilities
The Museo ng Makati, aside from serving as repository of artifacts, treasures and
relics of the Citys magnificent memoir, serves as a venue for mounting art
works/exhibits, storytelling and art workshops. It will soon be undergoing
renovation as part of improving and preserving the Citys heritage structures. The
Museum is situated in the heart of the planned heritage restoration area of the
City. The masterplan for heritage restoration considered the redevelopment of
Plaza Cristo Rey, Poblacion Park, J.P. Rizal and Museo Plaza, as well as the
pedestrianization of D.M. Rivera Street. Private structures considered as heritage
have been already mapped and will be part of the overall conservation strategy of
the City. Apart from the tangible cultural preservation, songs, traditions, cuisines
and other intangible cultural assets will also be preserved as laid out in the Makati
Poblacion Heritage Conservation Project.
The current activities of the City Library aim to address the widening of client
base, with the inclusion of high school and elementary students as well as
persons with disability.
Through the Outreach Program, the people in the community are made aware of
the librarys existence and importance through, i.e. public library day celebration,
national book month, national childrens book day, library anniversary. Public
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
participation is encouraged through contests, programs, seminars and the
organization of groups to help the public libraries, e.g., Makati Librarians
Association, and Friends of Makati Public Libraries, Inc. Focus is also given to the
Childrens Corner, where Day Care Services are provided to employees children.
Services include scheduled story-telling, video film showing and library of
childrens books for pre-school and primary grades students.
Social Welfare
Social welfare services generally include programs and projects on child and
youth welfare, family and community welfare, womens welfare, welfare of the
elderly and disabled persons, street children, juvenile delinquents and victims of
drug abuse, as well as livelihood, subsidized housing and other pro-poor projects.
The City implements a Comprehensive Social Welfare Program that aims to uplift
the quality of life and well-being of its citizens.
Social Welfare Programs and Services
The Makati Social Welfare Department (MSWD) is the social welfare and
development agency of the City Government of Makati mandated to care,
protect, and rehabilitate the segment of its society which has the least in life in
terms of physical, mental, and social well-being. 1 To be able to achieve its goals
and mandates, MSWD adopts a Sectoral Clientele System wherein there is one
(1) section of the department that looks after the needs and concerns of a specific
sector of society (i.e., children, women, persons with disability, elderly, etc.).
PhilHealth ng Masa Program
Another social security program of the City for families is the PhilHealth ng Masa
Program, which is designed to provide medical health insurance to indigent
Makati residents. Since its inception, the number of PhilHealth cardholders has
been increasing. From 69,803 PhilHealth cardholders in 2006, the number has
been increasing by about 9% annually. The increase in the number of PhilHealth
ng Masa cardholders is attributed to the City Governments No PhilHealth Card,
No Yellow Card, No Subsidized Health Service policy and the intensive campaign
to avail of PhilHealth services.
In 2011, the PhilHealth ng Masa Program had a total of 100,263 beneficiaries,
which notably were not all indigents. To ensure a Universal Health Insurance
Coverage, the City allowed the self-employed residents who do not have a stable
and permanent income to be enrolled in the program.

Day Care Services
The City is already 100% compliant to DSWD Order No. 82 series of 2003
mandating one (1) day care center per barangay. Meanwhile, the number of day
care enrollees has been increasing every year. In 2011, Day Care Services
benefited a total of 3,580 children aged 3-5 years old. In spite of this increasing
trend, Makatis target to hit 100% completion rate has not yet been achieved
because of incidents of drop outs usually of those recipients aged 2 to 3 years
old.
The day care service provides avenues for children to show their talents and gain
self-confidence through Paligsining and Children Month Celebration for Day Care
Beneficiaries. Aside from this, every year, day care recipients are given a chance
to go on a one (1)-day field trip. Capability building activities are also provided to
day care workers to update and upgrade their skills and knowledge in handling
sessions on child and classroom management.

Senior Citizens Benefit Cards
Senior citizens in Makati receive various benefit cards which they can use to avail
of additional benefits: the OSCA National Card Program (White Card), Makati
Health Card Program (Yellow Card) and the famous BLU Card.
The White Card entitles the senior citizen to 20% discount in the purchase of
medicines and some basic commodities. They also enjoy limitless free movies in
all Makati cinemas. On the other hand, through the Yellow Card, they have
benefits of free hospitalization at the City Government-owned Ospital ng Makati.
For the past five years, the number of senior citizens availing benefit cards has
been increasing. However, the number of elderly who availed National ID Card,
Makati Health Plus Card as well as Medicine Booklet slightly decreased in 2011.

When created in 2002, the BLU Card Program did not appear attractive to older
persons as it only aimed to provide 3,000 pesos burial assistance to families of
deceased cardholder. However, the expansion of the BLU Card benefits include
the annual 2,000 pesos Cash Gift which is intended to help them defray some of
their day-to-day expenses, especially on food and medicine. The number of senior
citizens availing of BLU Cards has been increasing each year, from 36,602 in
2006 to 41,275 in the following year. In 2008, a total of 4,727 new BLU Cards had
been issued and 5,715 in 2009. In 2010, an additional of 5,880 new BLU Cards
had been issued to persons who turned 60 years old that year so that the number
of BLU Cards issued from the time of its inception until the end of 2010 would be
57,446 to 51,435 actual BLU cardholders as of the end of 2011.

Aside from the Burial Assistance and Cash Gift, the BLU Card grants senior
citizens the privilege to use their vehicle anytime of the week in Makati even if it is
coded. This is to ensure that senior citizens have easy access to medical
services during the day when their vehicle is not allowed to travel. Furthermore,
BLU Cardholders are given Birthday/Golden Wedding Anniversary Cake on their
birthday/50th wedding anniversary.
In partnership with SM Foundation, Inc., the SM Felicidad Sy Center for the
Elderly was established. It provides a recreation area for senior citizens,
temporary shelter for the lost or abandoned and wellness services. In 2010, the
Center hosted a number of functions or activities of the Citys senior citizens and
provided temporary home care to four lost and abandoned elderly.
Poor Families and Informal Settlers
Poverty incidence in the City has been constantly low compared to that of the
entire country and in the whole of the National Capital Region (NCR). Based on
the 2003 City and Municipal Level Poverty Estimates issued by the National
Statistical Coordination Board (NSCB), the City of Makati marked a 1.86% poverty
incidence. 2 This means that only about 9,618 individuals in the City belonged to
the poor category. By merely looking at the figures presented, one could tell that
there were only a handful of individuals in Makati considered living under the
poverty line.
Another poverty measure is poverty gap which measures the total income shortfall
(expressed in proportion to the poverty line) of individuals with income below the
poverty line divided by the total number of individuals. This provides information
as to how much, on the average, is needed by each individual for them to become
non-poor. The poverty gap in Makati means that on the average, the per capita
income of families living in the City is only 0.13% short of the poverty threshold.
By means of the poverty measure which is the severity of poverty, it was
determined that Makati has a severity of poverty value of 0.09%. Severity of
poverty estimates the inequality among poor. This measure is sensitive to the
Report on Poverty in Makati issued by NSCB.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
distribution of living standards among the poor. A high value indicates that the
distribution is worse or that poverty is severe. Obviously, the poverty situation
among the Makati poor is not severe.
Based on this report, poverty in Makati has been characterized as being not
prevalent, not severe, and it is relatively easy for the poor in Makati to escape
poverty.
Despite the better situation of poverty in Makati as compared to other cities and
municipalities in the country, the City does not treat this issue with mediocrity. In
fact, the Makati, through the MSWD, will undertake an ambitious attempt to
reduce to zero the number of poor people/families by 2019.
These families will be identified in a poverty mapping to be conducted by MSWD.
Considering the aforementioned characteristic of poverty in Makati and its
commitment and capacity to end poverty, the zero poverty target by 2019 is not
an impossible dream.
The City has been implementing anti-poverty programs. Children avail of free
and state-of-the-art elementary and secondary education, while tertiary education
at the local government-run University of Makati is highly subsidized. Through
the Makati Training Placement and Livelihood Consortia (MTPLC), residents get
access to skills training, job placement and livelihood assistance for free. MSWD
is a member of the MTPLC and is responsible for the provision of various skills
training.
Informal Settlements Reduction and Management
One of the priority objectives of the City is to achieve zero informal settlers. It
was for this reason that the City had purchased two (2) properties; one in San
Jose Del Monte City, Bulacan (3.2 hectares) and another in Calauan, Laguna (40
hectares) and developed these into subdivisions where the informal settlers
would be relocated. The relocation site in Bulacan is called Dreamland Ville
while the one in Laguna is called Makati Home Ville.
Makati has Gawad
Kalinga (GK) as its partner in this Relocation Program. The City purchased and
developed the relocation site, GK, on the other hand, is responsible for the
construction of houses and Community Development. The City also helps raise
funds for the construction of the GK houses.
In 2011, the City has a total of 7,675 informal settlers which is 9.5% more than
the 2010 figure of 7,009 informal settlers. This increase can be attributed to at
least two (2) factors: i) the establishment of new households by members of
informal settler families, and ii) the influx of new informal settlers.
As regards provision of assistance to displaced informal settlers, MSWD assisted
a total of 1,401 families who were affected by demolition activities in 2008. Of this
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
number, 571 families availed of the Relocation Program: 94 in NHA-Calauan and
413 in Dreamland Ville. In 2009, MSWD assisted an additional 1,846 families
whose houses were demolished. Some 816 of them were relocated to Makati
Home Ville. No demolition activity had been undertaken in 2010 while 316
families were affected by demolition in 2011. In total, the City had relocated
1,390 informal settler families by the end of 2011.

The success of the demolition and relocation activities in Makati is primarily due
to the clarity and frankness of the dialogues conducted among the
representatives of the City Government, the Barangay and the informal settlers.
Another factor is the strict compliance to the provision of RA 7279 of the Urban
Development Housing Act along with the availability of logistical requirements for
the relocation.
In this endeavor, the challenge is to ensure that no relocatees return to Makati as
informal settlers again. In this regard, livelihood programs are being strengthened
in the relocation sites. In 2009, a Rag Making Livelihood Project was established
in the Dreamland Ville. In the following year, a Cooperative was also established
there in cooperation with the Makati Cooperative Development Office. The
Cooperative operates a grocery store where the community members can
purchase affordable basic commodities. In partnership with the Agriculture
Department of San Jose del Monte, a number of families put up gardens to
cultivate crops with its produce either sold or consumed by family members.
Social Welfare Facilities
An inventory of existing social welfare facilities in Makati is presented on Table
35. Such facilities, which are strategically distributed among the barangays,
include Day Care Centers, Senior Citizen Center, Rehabilitation Center,
Womens Center and Social Development Center. The Social Development
Center located in Barangay Olympia is called the Mapagkalinga Drop-In Center.
The other Social Development Center in Tejeros is one that caters to abused
women and children.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
As far as their current physical condition is concerned, most of the social welfare
facilities have been assessed to be in good condition. In fact, all the 13 Senior
Citizen Centers and two (2) Social Development Centers were reported to be in
good condition. However, of the total 36 Day Care Centers in the City, eight (8)
were reported to be in poor condition and presently in need of improvement.
These facilities are located in Carmona, SDC Tejeros, La Paz, San Isidro,
Rizal II, Rizal Pabahay, Pembo I, and East Rembo Bahay Bulilit.
Among the current major issues and challenges in the social welfare services
sub-sector that has land use implications are:
Densely populated areas show high incidence crimes against persons;
Poor condition of some existing facilities;
Rising number of informal settler families which could be attributed to the
establishment of new households by members of informal settler families, and
influx of new informal settlers;

Housing
Under the Urban Development and Housing Act (RA 7279), the State shall
undertake, in cooperation with the private sector, a comprehensive and
continuing Urban Development and Housing Program which shall, among others,
uplift the conditions of the underprivileged and homeless citizens in urban areas
and in resettlement areas by making available to them decent housing at
affordable cost, basic services, and employment opportunities.
Section 21 of the Act further states that socialized housing or resettlement areas
shall be provided by the LGUs or the National Housing Authority, in cooperation
with the private developers and concerned agencies, with the following basic
services and facilities: health, education, communications, security, recreation,
relief and welfare, potable water, power and electricity, sewerage facilities,
efficient and adequate solid waste disposal system, and access to primary roads
and transportation facilities.
Lot and House Ownership
Based on the 2007 Census results, 43% of the households in Makati City had
their houses built on lots that they owned or being amortized. Houses of another
41% were built on rented lots. Lot ownership was higher in NCR with 49%
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
compared to the City with only 43%. Conversely, the proportion of households
residing on rented lots was higher in Makati (41%) than in NCR (33%).
Housing Characteristics
On the whole, Makati recorded a ratio of 105 households per 100 occupied
housing units. This implies a backlog of 5 housing units per 100 households in
the City if the housing program goal is one house for each household.
Among the 115,594 occupied housing units in the City in 2007, the most common
construction materials used for outer walls were concrete/brick/stone (58%), half
concrete/brick/stone and half wood (27%), and wood (11%).
As to the construction materials of the roof, 81% of the 115,594 occupied
housing units in the City had roofs made of galvanized iron/aluminum in 2007. A
few of the housing units had roofs made up of a combination of galvanized iron
and concrete (8%) and concrete/clay tile (6%).
Household Utilities
Based on Census 2000 results, large majority of households (94%) in Makati
used electricity as the main source of lighting.

Makati Housing Program
Through the Makati Housing Program, the City Government continuously
provides decent and affordable housing to its residents. The Makati Homes I in
Barangay Tejeros, which benefited 316 families from 1990 to 2008, is currently
undergoing renovation. The Makati Homes II, on the other hand, which is
composed of three 5-storey buildings located at Milkweed St. in Barangay Rizal,
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
was completed in 1998 and is being occupied by 469 families of Makati residents
and City Government employees.
The occupancy status of the Makati Homes II from 2005 to 2010 is presented in
Table 39. There is a noticeable decrease of 5% in the Occupancy Rate from
2007 to 2010. This is mainly because of the continuous annual increase on rental
fee for the housing units. Most of the qualified applicants backed-out upon
learning the high monthly rental fee for a low-cost housing project. Another
reason for the decrease is the fact that most of the vacant units have unpaid
utility bills (electricity and water), especially those padlocked units. Tenants of the
padlocked units have left without informing the office, thus leaving their utility bills
unpaid.
There is a three percent (3%) increase in the occupancy from 2009 to 2011
because of the current and temporary moratorium on the imposition of rental fee
increase.

Improved payment collection efficiency for the Makati Homes II units is noted in
2008 which can be attributed to the efforts of the City Governments Housing
Division to collect and oblige tenants to enter into a compromise agreement and
its continuous and early advisory among tenants on the rental due dates and
amounts. The series of padlocking contributes to the increase because tenants
were forced to pay their arrearages. For City-employee tenants, automatic salary
deduction scheme is strictly observed.
In response to the relocation of the informal settlers, the City through its Off-Site
Resettlement Program also provides housing and builds communities outside
Makati, as shown in Table 40. These resettlement areas are the Dreamland
Subdivision in San Jose del Monte, Bulacan, and the Makati Home Ville in
Calauan, Laguna. The Dreamland Subdivision, a 32,000-square meter property
purchased by Makati, is currently occupied by 416 families relocated from
informal settlements in the City. The village has been equipped with well-paved
and well-defined road system and drainage system. As of end of 2010, 140
housing units costing P100,000 each have been completed and awarded to the
recipient families for free. The counterpart contribution of the relocatees is in the
form of labor in the construction of their respective housing units.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
The Makati Home Ville is a 40-hectare lot purchased by the City in 2007 and
being developed into a village for the relocated informal settlers. As of 2010, a
total of 954 families have been relocated to the site.
Aside from the provision of basic utilities (water, electricity and water-sealed
toilet) and facilities (school, chapel, community center, covered court), various
livelihood and social development projects are being implemented in both
resettlement areas with the support of the business sector and non-government
organizations.

Sports and Recreation
Another important aspect of social development, aside from the general
populations access to quality health care, education and decent housing, is the
presence of and access to recreational opportunities in the locality. The
availability of parks and other amenities for recreational and sports activities
plays an important role in the perceived quality of life of one area over another.
Sports and Recreational Facilities
Makati boasts of its multitude and variety of sports and recreational facilities, both
publicly and privately owned. The most popular recreational facility in the City is
the karaoke bar, which numbered 143 in all as of 2010. Movie houses, covered
and open courts, gymnasiums, and parks and playground also abound in the
City.
Parks and other recreational facilities are strategically distributed around the City,
which provide easy access to residents and visitors from all walks of life.
The City has numerous sports and recreational facilities intended to develop the
youths potential on sports. These venues for sports activities are organized by
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
the various offices of the City, youth groups, and the private sector found in the
different barangays. The City through the Youth and Sports Development
Department (YSDD) and SK Federation in coordination with other departments
and offices should use these facilities in developing future athletes who will
represent the City in any sporting events, and will be known locally and
internationally.
The YSDD and the SK Federation, in close coordination with the MSWD, work
hand in hand in undertaking various programs and projects that will help the
youth become independent, empowered and useful citizens of tomorrow. These
programs include youth training and leadership programs (i.e., Youth Leadership
and Volunteerism, Peer Counseling, Lakbay Aral, ISKOLAR BOS) and sociocultural activities such as Inter-Barangay Sports Tournament, Inter-High School
and Inter-Elementary Sports Tournament, Himigsikan and Dance Billboard,
Himig Pasko, Mr. and Ms. Teen Makati, etc.. Other programs also focus on
services and special education programs such as Iwas Droga, Balik Eskwela,
Barangay Computer Enhancement, Brain Olympics and JESB Community
Outreach Program.
Despite the numerous sports and recreational facilities in the City intended to
develop the youths potential on sports, one opportunity to strengthen sports
development in the City is the creation of Makati Sports Development
Committee. The Youth and Sports Development Department, however, is looking
into this. The initial step deemed to be practical is to fast track the formulation of
the Makati City Sports Development Plan, which up to the present has not
progressed.
1.4.3 Protective Services
Security to life and property is a fundamental right of every Filipino citizen and it
is, therefore, the duty of the State to protect it. This is explicitly stated in the
Article II Section 5 of the Philippine Constitution, to wit: The maintenance of
peace and order, the protection of life, liberty, and property, and promotion of the
general welfare are essential for the enjoyment by all the people of the blessings
of democracy.
The City, through its network of efficient and effective police, emergency and
rescue, and firefighting force and facilities continuously strives to create a safe
and secure living and working environment. The following departments, offices
and council are in-charge of law enforcement and various protective services in
Makati:
Makati Police Department enforces law in order to prevent/control crimes,
maintain peace and order, and ensure internal security with the active support of
the community;
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Makati Fire Department is responsible for the prevention and suppression of all
destructive fires, investigation of their causes, enforcement of the Fire Code and
provision for medical and rescue services;
Makati City Jail administers the operations of the City Jail and the provision of
services to inmates;
Makati Rescue is a multi-functional emergency response office with the
responsibility of providing a broad range of emergency services to the
community;
Makati Traffic Enforcement Unit enforces traffic laws and regulations, and
apprehends traffic violators;
Public Safety Department, also known as MAPSA, was organized primarily to
assist the local police force in providing public safety within the City. Specifically,
it is tasked to provide traffic assistance, secure the City Governments premises
and properties, and maintain peace and order at the barangay level; and
Makati Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council is responsible in the
formulation and implementation of programs/activities as part of the
preparedness, mitigation, response and rehabilitation in case of occurrence of
disasters in the City.
Index and Non-Index Crimes: Incidence and Solution Efficiency
From 2006 to 2011, the number of index crimes exhibited an erratic trend. The
number increased two (2)-fold in 2011 as it rose to 1,112. Within the span of 6years, theft and robbery remained to have the highest incidence. However,
robbery cases climbed to 468 in 2011, or 200 % increase from 156 in 2010.
Incidence of physical injury rose to 150 in 2011 from only 66 in 2010. Other crime
incidences reported were murder, homicide and rape. The annual target of 5%
reduction in crime incidence was obviously not met during the 6-year period.
Likewise, incidence of non-index crimes exhibited an increasing trend from 20062008. In 2009, the number dropped to 164 from 242 in 2008, but it rose again in
2010 to 238 and climbed to 358 in 2011. Crime incidence related to drugs had
the highest number among non-index crimes, although it started to decrease
during the last two years. Incidence of violence against women and children
significantly decreased by more than 50% while estafa showed tremendous
increase in 2011. Carnapping incidence increased significantly from eight in 2007
to 29 in 2008, but it diminished in 2009 to 2010 and further rose to 142 in 2011.
Violence against women and children, malicious mischief,
use/possession
of illegal drugs, acts of
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
lasciviousness, and estafa/falsification accounted for the majority of the nonindex crimes committed in 2011.
Crime solution efficiency during the last six (6) years was high for both index and
non-index crimes. However, for index crimes, the percentage of efficiency went
down to 76% in 2010 from 91% of the previous year. Likewise for non-index
crimes, crime solution efficiency fell to 86% in 2010 from 94% in 2009. Over-all,
the solution efficiency has been declining in the last 6 years, especially during the
recent year. This can be attributed to the change in crime reporting method as
directed by the National Police Commission (NAPOLCOM), under NAPOLCOM
Memorandum Circular Number 94-017, also known as Unit Crime Periodic
Reporting put into effect nationwide on June 1, 2009. The circular provides for
the declaration of all types of crime reported at the grassroots level, in the
barangay, Police Community Precincts (PCPs), and headquarters, even for
record/documentation purposes only, or blotter. For some of the crimes, the
perpetrators and victims are non-Makati residents who do not have the interest to
pursue their complaints, thus, most of them have not been resolved.

Police Facilities and Equipment
Makati has a total of nine (9) police precincts scattered in different locations
within the City, a police headquarters (main) and a traffic management group,
with a total of 489 personnel, 57 vehicles and 33 motorcycles, which were all
assessed to be currently in good condition.
With a total population of 529,039 in 2010, the Makati Police needs additional
police personnel to meet the standard police-population ratio of 1:500. The
deficiency in police force is heightened during the daytime when the Citys
population is estimated to increase six (6) to eight (8) times because of the
presence of non-resident workers and students as well as tourists and shoppers.

Jail Management
The City has one (1) City Jail with a cell area of 1,236 square meters. Inmate
population continued to fall from 592 in 2008 to 507 in 2010. With the average jail
population of 510 inmates, each inmate occupies roughly 2.42 square meters.
This falls below the United Nation Standard of three (3) square meters per
inmate, and has a 25.3% congestion rate. On the other hand, the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology (BJMP) sets the National standard of two (2) square
meters per inmate as ideal capacity, and one (1) square meter per inmate as
maximum capacity. Based on this national standard, the City Jail is above
standard with a variance rate of 20.94%, meaning, the jail size is adequate. The
present jail facility is composed of 10 cells.

Fire Incidence and Prevention
During the last three (3) years, the most number of fire incidence occurred in
Barangays Palanan, Poblacion, San Lorenzo, Bel-Air, Bangkal, San Antonio and
Guadalupe Nuevo. Areas with the least incidence of fire were in Barangays
Pitogo, Post Proper Northside, and Post Proper Southside. This could be
attributed to the increase in fire safety awareness and consciousness among the
residents and local leaders of these three barangays.
Fire occurrences showed a fluctuating trend during the last three years. From
231 in 2008, the number decreased by 9% in 2009, but it rose again sharply in
2010 by 45%. Lectures and seminars on fire safety and prevention have been
increased, and being handled by fire safety educators of the Fire Station, and
coordinated by the Public Information Service of the City. Increased education
activities are also being conducted during the Fire Prevention Month (March).
Among the activities conducted are fire drills, distribution of fliers on fire safety,
and the Oplan Paala-ala, wherein sub-station personnel do house-to-house
visitation and inspection around their areas of responsibility.

Fire Protection Services, Facilities and Equipment
Fire protection facilities and equipment include a fire station (main) and 10 substations with 119 fire protection personnel, 11 fire trucks and one (1) ambulance.
Each fire station is equipped with a fire truck, but eight (8) of these fire trucks are
no longer in good condition. The operational capability of the Makati Fire Station
to suppress all kinds of fires is therefore being constrained due to lack of
equipment in good working condition. Moreover, the station needs additional
skilled drivers and mechanics. Such personnel and facility deficiencies compels
the Makati Fire Station to tap the Barangay First Responders to augment the
existing firefighting personnel.
Fire brigades are also available, with some of them housed in the BFP fire
stations. Barangays Guadalupe, Poblacion, Forbes Park and Singkamas have
their own responding teams, ready for deployment not only in their area of
responsibility but also within the City if need arises.
The response team of the Citys Fire Station is technologically supported and
guided by a world-class Command, Control and Communication System (C3).
The team provides responses to emergencies in coordination with other
responding groups such as the Makati Rescue, Traffic Unit of the PNP, and the
Public Safety Department.
Makati has been cited ten times since 1992 as the Local Government Unit in the
National Capital Region (NCR) with the Best Fire Station.

Public Safety and Traffic Enforcement
The Public Safety Department (PSD), also known as Makati Public Safety
Assistance (MAPSA), and the Makati Traffic Enforcement Unit (MTEU) has
operational traffic jurisdiction over the whole City that includes ten (10) main
thoroughfares, thirty five (35) major intersections, forty four (44) signalized
intersections and thirty four (34) areas considered bottleneck areas during peak
hours, not to include secondary and tertiary roads, which are likewise busy. Their
joint thrust is to improve road safety and to enforce the Citys Traffic Code.
Traffic Violations
Table 47 shows a decreasing trend in all types of traffic violations committed
from 2007 to 2011. Overall, the number of traffic violations posted a 33%
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
increase in 2011 from the previous years 36,544 violations. Non-use of seatbelt
consistently recorded the most number of traffic violations during the 5-year
period, with 27% share of total violations in 2011. This was followed by
disobedience to traffic control and signals at 10%, and violation of vehicle volume
reduction scheme (VVRS) at 10%. Violations on jaywalking sharply increased
from
1078
in
2010
to
3,874
in
2011,
and
violations
on
urinating/defecating/spitting ordinance leaped from 448 to 775 during the same
period.
The overall decrease in the violations can be attributed to the strict
implementation of the Citys traffic regulations. Programs were also implemented
to lessen accidents in the City such as distribution of leaflets to motorists and
pedestrians on how to avoid traffic accidents, and conduct of Road and Safety
Seminars, which educate attendees on traffic laws, rules, and regulations,
ordinances, and other safety tips on preventing accidents.

Anti-Drug Abuse Operations
The Makati Anti-Drug Abuse Council (MADAC) was conferred a plaque of
recognition by the Philippine Drug Enforcement Agency (PDEA) for its
exceptional contributions in preventive and control strategies in combating the
drug problem in the City.
From 2006 to 2008, anti-drugs operations conducted increased from 468 to 618.
However, in 2009, the number of operation dropped down to 471. As the number
of operations diminished, so were the number of individuals apprehended which
totaled to only 86 persons in 2009 from 139 in 2008.
The number of individual cases filed started to decline in 2008 from the previous
years 351 cases to 217, and further to 139 in 2009.

Makati Rescue Services
Makati Rescue Services provided include Emergency Medical Services (EMS),
response to fire incidents and vehicular accidents, K-9 services, paneling,
patrol/posting services, and response to bomb threat incidents. Response to
emergency medical concerns has the most number of services rendered
throughout the five-year period. The number of services rendered to such
concern has been increasing every year. From 2006, the number increased in
2010 by more than five times. This increase could be attributed to the escalating
requests from different departments, barangays and other constituents of the City
on the transportation of non-emergency patients to and from the hospital.

EMS is being provided in coordination with Ospital ng Makati and Acute Care
Center. It is considered vital in responding, evaluating and intervening in
potentially catastrophic events. EMS co-manages initial scenes in many
medium-to-large scale incidents involving large number of casualties.
Response to vehicular accidents is the second most rendered rescue services
during the five-year period, with slight increases noted every year. Their numbers
were only about one-fourth to one-sixth of the number rendered to emergency
medical services. Paneling services and response to fire incidents rendered were
lesser in number, while patrolling/posting and response to bomb threat incidents
were the least rescue services rendered.
The Makati Rescue Team managed to maintain its average response time of 5-7
minutes from Rescue Base to any point of Makati, which means that the team
was able to respond to any emergency situation at the shortest possible time.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Makatis Rescue Team can be considered the most equipped with the acquisition
of modern tools and devices.
In terms of logistics, Makati Rescue has one (1) Rescue Truck, which is fully
equipped with air, sea and land technical rescue equipment, one (1) fire truck,
two (2) advance cardiac life support ambulance, two (2) utility pick-ups, one (1)
K9 van. The annual increase in the number of medical and technical equipment
boosted the response ability of Makati Rescue.
1.4.4 Utilities: Power, Water, Communication Network, Waste Management
Road Improvement
All roads in Makati have been concreted since 2004 and meet established
standards on structural design. Current road-related improvements include
landscaping and provision of street lighting for the safety of motorists and
pedestrians. Other improvements being considered are related to improving
levels of service through the expansion of road right-of-way (RROW) by
expropriating land and through other means such as the allocation of additional
lanes during the development of Planned Unit Developments (PUDs) in
exchange for the relaxing or waiving of certain development restrictions.

Ancillary Road Facilities
In addition to road networks are ancillary facilities throughout the City.
Sidewalk
The City has a total sidewalk length of 304.406 km. Out of the total length of
sidewalk, 301.399 km. or 99.01% is walkable based on 2010 data. In order to
attain 100% walkable sidewalks, the City continuously implements the
rehabilitation and sidewalk beautification program which includes: landscaping
and sidewalk improvement; demolition of structures encroaching the sidewalk;
repair and maintenance of damaged sidewalks, curbs and gutter, and manhole
covers; installation of railings, bollards for Persons With Disabilities (PWDs);
recovery of government lots; removal of idle/dilapidated lamp posts and
pedestals; and, strict implementation of ordinances on the proper use of
sidewalks.
Streetlights
For the safety of the motorists, residents and transients during night time, the
City through the DEPW implemented street lighting programs.
Since the beginning of the program in 2003, 252.54 km. of streets have been
lighted, including major thoroughfares and secondary roads. This is equivalent to
67.60 % of total 373.59 km. target. There are on-going projects for 48.49 km. of
street lighting corresponding to13.0% of the total. The remaining 72.56 km. is
already in the pipeline.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
The City has also adopted street lighting projects which also concerns the
protection of the environment. One of these is through the use of an Energy
Efficient Lighting System (EELS) in all of the existing streetlights which not only
provides better lighting, but also saves on the amount of energy being utilized.
Another program being explored by the City is the utilization of modern streetlight
equipment through a computerized central monitoring system to further ensure
street lighting efficiency. This monitoring system improves the cable clearing
operations being implemented by the City in coordination with concerned
telecommunication and cable utilities.
Parking facilities
Makati, having one of the busiest streets in Metro Manila, is prone to traffic
congestion particularly during busy hours. Illegal parking on both sides of the
streets in various areas adds burden to motorists. To address this, the City has
programmed the following:
Construction of parking facilities in selected barangays (i.e. Pembo, Bangkal,
Guadalupe Nuevo, Carmona, and San Antonio)
Modernization and upgrading of existing sports facilities wherein the ground
floor as the parking area and second floor as the sports facilities.
Utilization of idle lots (either public or private) and open public school grounds
as parking area in the evening to minimize street parking.
To draft an Ordinance and submit to Sangguniang Panglungsod regarding
carpooling, park-n-go and elevated walkway (walkalator) is another option.
Introduction of other means of transportation like cable cars along Pasig River
easement.
Waiting Sheds
There are 37 waiting sheds which are distributed throughout the City. These
waiting sheds have been erected to alleviate some of the discomforts brought
about by climate conditions to public commuters in the City.

Road Markings
Like other countries, proper use of lane markings contributes to the smooth flow
of vehicular traffic and promotes discipline to the public with regards to proper
use and courtesy. Thermoplastic lane markings are conducted every year to help
the Protective Services Sector lessen traffic congestion.
Water Supply
Manila Water Company and Maynilad provide water service in Makati City
through several primary distribution mains. Raw water, however, comes from the
Angat-Ipo-La Mesa water system, an external source that begins in Norzagaray,
Bulacan and supplies the whole of Metro Manila. Water supplied by the Manila
Water company is treated at the Balara Treatment Plant while Maynilad treats its
water at the La Mesa Dam.
In 2011, 97.50% of households in Makati were considered to have access to safe
drinking water. Data from the Makati Health Department from 2009-2011,
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
however, indicate a decrease in the total number of households served from
2010 to 2011.

Given the above information, there is still a need to improve the existing water
supply services in the City to ensure that safe drinking water is provided to all of
its constituents. Continuous coordination with water service providers is
necessary to ensure that their programs are parallel with the needs of the City.
Power
Electric power supply connections in all barangays of the City are provided by the
Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), which is the sole electric distributor for
Metro Manila. MERALCO gets its bulk supply from the state-owned National
Power Corporation (NPC). Transmission lines that bring power to Metro Manila
are operated and maintained by the National Grid Corporation of the Philippines.
In as much as all of the Citys barangays have access to electricity, existing
distribution lines and facilities must be closely monitored to maintain reliability of
service. This is especially important considering serious business disruptions are
often brought about by power outages.
Telecommunication
Telephone
Philippine Long Distance Telephone (PLDT) and Globe Telecom are the major
providers of land-based telephone services in the City. Smart Communications,
Globe Telecom, and Sun Cellular are the major mobile phone service providers
operating in the City.
Record Carriers
There are four (4) international record carriers and stations in the City, which
includes Eastern Telecommunications Philippines, Inc., Globe Telecom,
Philippine Global Communications and Capitol Wireless, Inc. Postal services are
provided primarily through four (4) postal offices: a central postal office in Sen.
Gil Puyat Avenue and three (3) other postal offices located in Districts I and II.
Volume 1: Part I - Profile of Makati City
Radio, Television and Publication
There are five (5) FM radio stations, three (3) AM radio stations; two (2) cable
operators and two (2) satellite television providers in Metro Manila servicing the
City. There are also two (2) television stations and six (6) publishing houses
based in the City.
Existing telecommunication facilities meet the standards set by the HLURB and
show that the Citys communication level is adequate. These, however, must be
continuously improved in order to be at par with the fast modernization of
telecommunication facilities and innovations that are available globally.
Drainage and Sewerage
Makati is prone to flooding because of its topographic and hydrological conditions
characterized by low-level areas and the low gradient of the Pasig River
combined with the prevalence of heavy rainfalls associated with tropical
cyclones.
The City has three (3) types of drainage channels: open canals, reinforced
concrete covered pipes, and improved box culverts. Domestic and industrial
wastes are discharged into storm drains and into the nine rivers and creeks that
extend from Del Pan Street to San Jose, Guadalupe.
During the period 2009 to 2011, improvements were made to the Citys drainage
system. Open canals were converted to improved box culverts and reinforced
circular concrete pipes (RCCP). By 2011, 419.238 kms. or 66.07% of City streets
have improved box culvert systems, 208.54 kms. or 32.87% are lined with RCCP
drainage while only 6.75 kms. or 1.06% remain as open canals.
