Volume 1-Comprehensive Land Use Plan

MAYOR’S MESSAGE

It is with great pride and integrity that we present to you

the Comprehensive Development Plan and Land Use
Plan of our municipality for the years 2024-2034. This
milestone achievement is the culmination of the
admirable efforts of our stakeholders and department
heads who have tirelessly collaborated to formulate a
comprehensive manuscript built from extensive research,
meticulous data collation, and a series of multi-sectoral
participatory strategic planning sessions.

As a 2nd class municipality, our town of Teresa is

revered for its many positive physical and social
characteristics. We are fortunate to possess a well-planned municipal core, a strategic
location, a robust road network, rich agricultural production, and promising tourism
potential, among other advantages. These elements position us as an ideal hub for
development opportunities within the entire province of Rizal.

With this in mind, it is high time for us to clearly articulate our vision for our beloved
Teresa. We must lay out our plans for the coming years, recognizing the bright future
that lies ahead for our community and the future generations of Teresaños. The Land
Use Plan will serve as our guiding framework as we embark on various development
initiatives aimed at making our town not only more prosperous but also a well-ordered
abode within the province.

While the formulation of this plan marks the beginning of our journey towards
development, we recognize that the greater challenge lies ahead in its implementation.
Therefore, I strongly encourage every Teresaños, regardless of background or
circumstance, to actively participate and collaborate in bringing this plan to fruition.

Let us unite and combine our efforts to establish Teresa as an exemplary model of
sustainable development. Together, we can engage in the noble task of implementing
this plan, ensuring that we continue to soar and uphold the values of excellence,
progress, and quality in our endeavors.

Thank you for your attention and continued support. Let us strive to make Teresa a
beacon of hope and prosperity. Teresa Una Ka!"

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1. BRIEF PROFILE OF MUNICIPALITY
1.1PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
1.1.1 Geographical location

The Municipality of Teresa is one of the 13 municipalities in the province of Rizal. Rizal Province is
located directly east of Metro Manila, the premiere megalopolis in the country, and is part of a bigger
administrative region called CALABARZON, or the Cavite-Laguna-Batangas-Rizal-Quezon region or
Region IV-A.

Teresa is situated about 35 kilometers east of Manila and is geographically located at approximately
140 35’ north longitude and 1210 12’ east latitude. It is bounded on the north by Antipolo City, on the
east by the municipality of Tanay, Baras to the southeast, Morong to the south, Binangonan to the
southwest, and Angono to the west.

It can be reached through the Marcos Highway-Sumulong road, Ortigas Avenue Extension-Tikling
route, both passing Antipolo City. It is also accessible through the Baras, Tanay, Pililla road network
coming from Laguna province.

The municipality of Teresa belongs to the Second District of Rizal along with the municipalities of
Baras, Cardona, Jala-jala, Morong, Pililla, and Tanay.

1.1.2 Land Area

Teresa has a total land area of 1,861 hectares which is 1.57% of the total area of the province. This
figure was from the Provincial Development & Physical framework Plan (PDPFP). Following the
assessor's tax map, the MPDO generated map computed a total of 1,910.702 hectares and agreed to
use this land area for the purpose of land use planning.

1.1.3 Climate and Temperature

Teresa belongs to the Type 1 climate characterized by two pronounced seasons, dry from November
to April and wet during the rest of the year.

year.

1.1.4 Soils

Teresa has two types of soils. These are the Antipolo Clay and Binangonan Clay.Antipolo Clay, the
most dominant soil type covering 88.42% of the total land area of the municipality, is characterized
by a reddish brown, granular and friable soil surface. The surface drainage of the soil is good to
excessive but highly susceptible to erosion especially in the upland and steep areas. The soil is more
suitable to fruit trees and upland rice because of its desirable features such as deep soil solum, friable
soil texture and good internal soil drainage.

Binangonan Clay constitutes the remaining land area and is common in the southwestern portion. Its
parent material is from soft limestone material and is related to undulating and rolling terrain. The
soil manifests good external drainage but is wanting in internal drainage. Poor drain ability causes
flooding in the lowlands while the rolling and undulating areas are prone to moderate erosion.

3.89% in 2023. In 2023 Crude Death Rate is 4.72% The IMR represents the number of deaths of infants
under one year of page per 1,000 live births. Death among infants may be attributed to
inadequate health care, poverty, and inadequate education of parents.

For the past five years, there is no record of deaths among women in pregnancy labor, so Maternal

landfill operator, BEST, for the disposal of its residual waste.

1.4.3 Housing

There is a general increase of households and household population from 2000 to 2015. The standard
ratio of households to occupied housing units is one household in one housing unit (1:1). For the past
four (4) censal years, the ratio is 1:1, meaning each household has its own housing unit except in 2007
where the ratio is 1: 1.01 (Table and Figure 4.3.1). If the ratio is more than one, this means the
existence of doubled-up household and the existence of housing backlog.

The number of occupants per occupied housing unit averages to 5 persons for rears 2000, 2007 and
2010. In 2015, there are 4 occupants per housing unit.

In the latest 2015 censal year, there are 46 doubled-up households and 161 unacceptable housing and
makeshift/salvage/improvised housing units. The total housing backlogs is 207 (Table 4.3.2).

The present housing backlog is accumulated housing needs due to the number of the homeless
household or individuals, doubled-up households and displaced units. In the Local Shelter Plan (LSP)

number/ of population who availed this service. The 4Ps beneficiaries, day care children,
disadvantaged women and children also posted significant number of clienteles. The provision of
Philhealth ID card and Family Case Works registered high number of clienteles in 2020. (Table 4.4.2).
Some formulated projects in 2020 to 2022 were based on the effect of Covid -19 pandemic. (Table
4.4.3.1) In 2020, these were the Bayanihan 1 or Bayanihan to Heal as One Act (RA 11469) and the
Bayanihan 2, Recover as One Act (RA 11464) that provide financial assistance for those affected by the
pandemic, while in 2021, these were the financial assistance for the Individuals affected by ECQ and
GCQ and the distribution of food packs for senior citizens, PWDs and Indigent constituents, as well as
the distribution of facemasks. Other accomplishments of the MSWD office were the regular projects
that were being done annually. These were the Family and Community Welfare Program, Child and
Youth Welfare Program, Emergency Assistance Program, Women’s Welfare Program, Senior Citizens
Programs, Person with Disability (PWD) Programs, Other Programs such as PantawidPamilyang
Pilipino Program, Unconditional Cash Transfer (UCT), Sustainable Livelihood Program (SLP), AID in

Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

● Facilities and Equipment

The headquarters for fire protection is located in BrgyPoblacion, with a total of 15 personnel
complement and 1 vehicle. Using the 2020 actual population, the fire fighter to population ratio is
1:4,272, higher than the ideal ratio of 1 firefighter per 2000 citizens. The required firefighter is 32, so
the municipality still needs additional 17 fire fighters.

The District Jail is located in BrgyDalig, SitioPantay with 35 total work force, 887 inmates and personnel
to inmate ratio of 1:25 This is higher than the ideal jail capacity of 1:7 inmates. The rehabilitation and
renovation of jail facilities will enhance conditions of the inmates. Facilitation of cases on time will also
aid decongest the detention facilities in the municipality.

The police force, on the other hand, is located at the back of the Municipal Hall, with 56 personnel
and police to population ratio of 1:1,144. This is a far cry from the ideal 1:500 and still less than the
standard 1:1,000. It has five (5) mobiles and two (2) motorcycles.

● Fire Incidence

There are only eight (8) fire incidents in the municipality for the last 3 years mostly due to unattended
cooking/charger and electrical short circuit.

with five (5) occurrences than in 2021 with only three (3) occurrences.

● Crime Incidence for Adults

The crime solution efficiency is higher in non-index crimes than index crimes for 2020-2022. Non-Index
crimes solved showed a high accomplishment result from 2020 to 2022. The highest is in 2020 with
97.76% rate of accomplishment, followed by 2021, with 93.14% accomplishment and lastly in 2022
with 91.12% accomplishment. (Table 4.5.4)

On the other hand, the percentage of case solved for index crime in 2020 is 87.50%, for 2021 is 73.08%
and 75% for 2022. Index crime are serious crimes that occur with sufficient frequency and regularity
that they are considered index to the crime situation in a given area. Examples of index crimes are
murder, homicide, physical injury, rape, robbery, theft, and carnapping. On the other hand, Non-index
crimes, are the violation of special laws such as illegal logging or violation of local ordinances.

Non-index crime solved for children below 18 years old in conflict with the law is 100% from 2020 to
2022. On the other hand, there is no recorded index crime committed by this group. (Table 4.4.5)

2.3 CALABARZON Regional Development Plan

13 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

Teresa is part of Strategic Development Cluster 12, which is a resource-based cluster that includes
other municipalities in Rizal: Tanay, Cardona, Morong, Baras, Pililia, and Jala-Jala, as well as some parts
of Rodriguez, San Mateo, Antipolo City, and General Nakar in Quezon.

In this cluster, resource-based enterprises that utilize natural products and the natural environment,
such as ecotourism, will be pursued. Farmers will be supported, as agriculture is the main economic
activity in the area. Highly polluting industries will be discouraged, while light to medium enterprises
can be established, provided that appropriate environmental protection and pollution-mitigating
measures are implemented.

In line with AMBISYON 2040 and the PDP’s 8-point Agenda, the RDP aims to boost the economy by
capitalizing on its strengths as the country’s key industrial region and diversifying its growth drivers
through services, agricultural development, and other sectors. Some of the planned strategies include
revitalizing the industrial sector, reviving the services sector, and modernizing the agricultural sector.
CALABARZON will also promote its five priority industries: Information Technology and Business
Process Management (IT-BPM), metals, electronics, automotive, and petrochemicals.

“CALABARZON: A Region of vibrant economic diversity and vitality with progressive, well-planned
town clusters inhabited by God-loving people enjoying globally competitive, balanced and resilient
ecosystems.”

Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The vision speaks of the Region’s promise to be the most livable industrial Region where no one is
poor that will be achieved through high and sustained economic growth that creates massive and
decent employment and reduces poverty. It also points out the aspirations of its citizens to live in well-
planned communities which have decent and adequate housing, access to quality services and
utilities, green and public places, good public transportation, and other amenities. The vision also gives
due regard to reducing negative environmental impacts of development and ensuring that natural and
human communities are resilient against disasters and shocks.

As a framework for long-term development, the overall goal of the RPFP is to identify long-term policy
directions and strategic program thrusts to promote a balanced and integrated approach to harness
the potential of all areas in the Region that will help achieve Regional cohesion, build a strong Regional
economy and promote livable communities conducive to work and recreation. To guide the
achievement of the vision and overall goal, the following objectives are proposed:

1. Strengthen the competitiveness of the Regional economy in agriculture, industry and services to
address social and economic disparities and to focus appropriate interventions on lagging areas
in the Region;
2. Protect, enhance and manage prudently the physical, natural and man-made assets of the Region
including water and air quality, soil and minerals;
3. Ensure the integrity of the physical environment by mainstreaming DRR and CCA and reducing
the impact of disasters and infectious disease outbreaks;
4. Create and strengthen vibrant, robust and culturally stimulating centers or communities with high
quality built environment as focal points for development;
5. Improve accessibility to jobs and maximize linkages between consumption areas or markets and
production areas;
6. Facilitate the equitable distribution of basic services and facilities 8 | Regional Physical Framework
Plan 2017-2046 including education, health care and recreational facilities; and
7. Establish sustainable and responsive transport systems and other infrastructure in a coordinated
and cost-effective manner.

The updated RPFP links the national and provincial framework plans and takes into account various
developments. These include changes in land uses; enactment of new laws, plans and policies; new
data sets generated from the latest census; and adjustments in the LGU composition of various
regions.

The strategies and activities to implement the RPFP will be guided by a set of principles to ensure a
sustainable, inclusive, and integrated form of physical development in the Region. These principles
will also serve as yardsticks for planning activities as well as in determining and evaluating investment
decisions. The guiding principles are as follows:

1. Anchor on and adhere to laws concerning the environment and ecology.

2. Promote a sustainable pattern of development throughout the Region
3. Foster competitiveness of the Regional economy
4. Strengthen urban and rural relationships and forging linkages with neighboring Regions
5. Facilitate access to basic services and advocate equitable allocation of resources
6. Mainstream Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation to ensure individual and
economic resiliency
7. Encourage wide participation of stakeholders and promote public-private partnership and
good governance

2.5ProvincialPhysical Framework Plan

VISION

“A peaceful, ecologically balanced province with a progressive,creative and sustained multi-sector

economy; the center for learning,culture, arts and ecotourism; endowed with equally accessible and
advanced services and facilities for its God-loving, healthy, highly capable, disaster prepared and
climate change resilient citizenry”

The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan of the Province ofRizal presents the future
state of the province within the next nine years. This is contained in the vision statement, where its
forthcoming directions for the physical and socio-economic development are laid out.

The rapid population growth in the province, brought about by natural increase and migration has
serious implications on the absorptive capacity of the province especially in the areas of housing,
provision of basic services and facilities,provision of jobs/livelihood sources and access to natural
resources of the province. The proximity of the province to Metro Manila made it a receptacle of its
spills. Rapid urbanization has led to rapid conversion of agricultural lands into subdivision settlement
areas. Encroachment in upland areas and in protected areas has raised danger of soil erosion,
landslides and flooding.

In this time of climate change, characterized by highly unusual meteorological patterns that raise the
likelihood of disastrous events , the PDPFP has become even more important to reduce overall
vulnerability to disaster and it also mainstreamed environmental protection and conservation,
disaster risk reduction and management, sustainable development, inclusive growth that promote a
more proactive and responsive local development.

The Municipality of Teresa serves as a provincial center and shall be developed in terms of improving
access to basic services and income opportunities to prevent migration of its people to regional and
sub-regional centers. The province also identified 2.64 as a potential area for socialized housing in the
municipality.

The province shall strictly implement laws governing land use conversion and impose sanctions on
LGUs which reclassified agricultural lands to more than allowable limits to address the continuous
conversion of agricultural land to other uses that contributes to the declining of food production. Due
to lack of expansion areas for agriculture, expansion of agricultural activities to marginally utilized and
yet idle agricultural areas should be pursued.

In terms of production planning options and measures on natural hazards, the protection and
production forest should be strictly preserved, reforested and rehabilitated and protected.
Government should adopt appropriate agroforestry systems for upland farming communities. Heavy
industries should be minimal and mitigating measures should be strictly imposed on pollutive
industries.

In protection planning options and measures on natural hazard, the municipality belongs to a
resource-based cluster as stated in RPFP. In addition, buffer zones should be placed between the
urban land uses and the agricultural and production forest lands. Vegetative strips along

stream/riverbanks and lake pond shores can stabilize the banks of flowing water bodies, minimizing
erosion and thus reducing the sediment entering the water.

3.2. Development Opportunities and Constraints

a. Comparative/Competitive Advantages

1. Favorable Climate

Teresa belongs to Type 1 climate characterized by two (2) pronounced seasons, dry from November
to April and wet during the rest of the year. This type of climate is highly favourable for industry
(livestock, high value commercial plantation crops and fruits). With this predictable weather condition,
farmers can schedule planting of crops and industries can have timetables for production.

Favorable climate also contributes to stabilization of tourist arrivals where tourists may continue to
enjoy outdoor activities offered in the municipality such as swimming, camping, team building
activities and other cultural activities.

2. Strategic Location / Accessibility

Teresa is strategically located 35 km east of Manila and the nearest town to the only city in Rizal
Province, the Antipolo City. It is also accessible to backdoor travelers coming from Laguna and Quezon.

This provides opportunities to connect with regional and global markets, attracting businesses,
investors, and tourists. Its proximity to the cities and Metro Manila gives efficient flow of goods and
services.

3. Existence of Mineral Resources

The presence of non-metallic minerals in the municipality enabled the location of major
manufacturing companies. The utilization of these minerals provides employment opportunities to
the residents and has a great contribution to the economy of the municipality. The huge deposits of
cement and limestone materials when processed into construction materials contribute to the
construction industry not only in Rizal but also in Metro Manila and other major areas.

4. Presence of Agricultural Lands

The municipality still has agricultural land available for growing rice, corn, vegetables, root crops and
fruits. It can still provide food to at least some of its population. This provides food security somehow
specially during the pandemic. The presence of new techniques and technologies to improve the
production and continuous support from the Department of Agriculture is an advantage.

5. Presence of Commercial Livestock and Poultry Farms

18 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

Teresa being known for its contribution in agro-industries has commercial livestock and poultry farms.
Products were enhanced through food processing and being exported. This contributes to meeting
Teresa's food requirement.

6. Clean and Resilient Environment

The municipality is known for one of the best implementer of RA 9003. The Material Recovery System
is being practice. It envisions resilient community and its Disaster Risk Reduction system is in
place.Teresa fire station has well trained personnel and located in strategic location allowing a quick
response time in times of emergency.
7. Supportive Leaders

The public officials ensure the best interest of the community. It promotes trust and transparency in
municipal governance by ensuring citizen’s participation and activity, listening to communities’
concerns and addressing their needs. This is reinforced by ordinances and resolutions enacted or
passed by the legislative body. As a result, various programs, projects and activities were being funded
to promote development to the community and environment.

8. Stable Peace and Order Situation

Teresa is generally peaceful and its constituents are peace-loving and law-abiding citizens. It enjoys a
comparatively favorable peace and order situation. According to the Community Based Monitoring
System survey, the residents can walk alone in the community without worrying about their safety.
The crime solution efficiency rate is always high which shows the reliability of the PNP and other
protection officers. In addition, the fire incidence is also low with eight (8) fire incidence in the last 3
years

9. Strong linkage/partnership of LGU to stakeholders, CSOs and NGOs

Private sectors are actively participating in the endeavors of the municipality. CSOs/NGOs engage in
some social support in the community such as medical missions, etc. Some are members of councils
and committees in tourism activities, protection of environment, peace and order, disaster mitigation
and response and others.

10. High Working Age Population

The municipality is a boost of working age individuals that can stimulate economic growth due to
increase of labor supply that may attract investors. It also means that it has a high consumption power
with its demand for goods and services. And, with a more productive working age population
supporting the dependent population, the municipality may have less individuals needing social
welfare assistance. The key is to ensure that this population is skilled and literate. In 2015, the
municipality had a 99.80% literacy rate which is very high.

b. Weaknesses/Priority Issues and Concern

1. Rapid Population Growth

Population of Teresa is continuously growing with a growth rate of 3.11 from 2010 – 2020. With the
proximity of Teresa to Antipolo, population growth due to migration is difficult to control.

19 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The increasing population leads to an increase in demand for resources including food, water, housing,
energy and jobs. Thus, it may result in shortages, price increase and competition for resources. If there
would be housing shortages, it may lead to growth of informal settlers.

It also demands for public services such as the transportation system, healthcare, schools and
sanitation facilities. If not addressed, there will be congestion, overcrowding schools, overwhelming
hospitals and inadequate support.

The community should adopt best practices to ensure a sustainable environment because a big
population contributes to environmental degradation or pollution.

With the increasing population density, there is a risk of an increase in transmitting of diseases.

If population growth is due to migration, it may create cultural tensions and social divides to the
community.

Therefore, the municipality should promote responsible population growth and equitable
development.

2. Small and Limited Land Area

The municipality has only 1,861 ha. as per 2006 Environment and Natural Resources Statistics from
DENR which is also the basis of Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) now called National Tax Allotment
(NTA).

With small land area, there are fewer land resources available for development be it infrastructure or
for other development sectors uses (Commercial, Industrial and Residential). Forest land and
agricultural land is also scarcer. As a result, it may limit or restrict economic activities Therefore,
economic diversification becomes crucial to ensure sustainability.The municipality is cautious to the
land uses as it maintains balance and sustainable environment for the community. Further, this is an
opportunity in developing a unified community for achieving the goals and vision.

3. Environmental Issues

Agro-industries create a foul smell to residents. It needs regular monitoring to ensure regulation to
the threat of its negative impacts to the environment such as water pollution and greenhouse gas
emissions.

Mining activities also emit smoke and dust particles. The rivers in Teresa are also silted brought about
by soil erosion and run-offs. There are few households that has no sanitary toilet.

3. Hazard Prone Areas

Part of the municipality is hazard prone to flooding and rain-induced landslides. Improving drainage
facilities and other engineering interventions will help mitigate such hazards. Pro-active Municipal Risk
Reduction and Management will prevent negative social, economic and environmental impacts of
those hazards such as loss of life, damage to infrastructure, disruption of essential services and
infrastructure destructions.

4. Insufficient Water Sources

20 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

The municipality's main water service provider is Teresa Water District. Other service providers are
Centennial Water Resource, Venture Water Corp., Ridgepoint Subdivision and Townland Homeowners
Association and Prime Water. Still, The municipality is experiencing water supply shortages. TerWD
assisted the other service providers present in the municipality while augmenting the shortage
through partnership with the Maynilad. In this view, the municipality looks forward to the assistance
of MWSS/ Maynilad brought by the presence of water treatment plants/portals in the locality.

5. Not self-sufficient on rice and other crops

Agricultural land decreased as it was converted/reclassified to non-agricultural uses. Lack of interest

in farming is also a major factor to consider because land owners sell their idle land which can be
potential agricultural areas.

Strict implementation enforcement of non-conversion of prime agricultural lands, provision of crop

insurance to protect farmers interest in times of disaster, provision of post-harvest facilities and
construction of irrigation facilities to remaining agricultural land is needed.

6. No available Tertiary School

The municipality has only four (4) vocational technical schools located at barangays Bagumbayan and
Dalig. Students who pursue college enroll to the nearby towns or to Metro Manila occupying
dormitories. Vulnerable populations who are in average and below the poverty threshold may have
difficulty in finishing college.

8. Rural Health Center do not meet the Standard space

The municipality has one private hospital due to its proximity to public hospitals located in the nearby
towns. The municipality manages and coordinates all ambulances and rescue vehicles owned by the
municipality and barangay to ensure response to its constituents in case of emergency. The
municipality also has an active health center but it needs additional space to meet the standard
requirement of a Rural Health Center.

3.4. Development Thrusts

Teresa belongs to a resource-based cluster in Region IV-A which pursues enterprises utilizing natural
products and the natural environment (CALABARZON Development Plan). The province recognizes
Teresa for has great contribution to the Agro-industry.

The sectoral members agreed to pursue development options: 1- agro-industrial development and 2-
combination of agriculture and commercial development.

Agro-industrial development refers to the process of integrating agricultural production with

industrial activities to create value-added products, enhance economic growth, and promote
sustainable development in rural and agricultural regions. It involves the establishment of industries
that add value to agricultural products through processing, manufacturing, and marketing activities.
Agro-industrial development encompasses a wide range of activities, including food processing, agro-
based manufacturing, agribusiness ventures, and value chain development.In agro-industrial
development, Coral, Foremost and other agro-industries will be supported through provision of the
required physical infrastructure, services and other support system significant to the thrust. A
significant project is the continuous rehabilitation of the Pantay-Buhangin Road and street lighting.
Municipal Agriculture’s office is also providing services on livestock and poultry.

Agriculture and commercial development refer to the integrated growth and diversification of rural
economies through the expansion of agricultural production alongside the establishment of
commercial activities and infrastructure. To pursue agriculture and commercial development, the
majority of the irrigated agricultural land will be protected or remain as SAFDZ. Other existing
agricultural areas will be supported through infrastructure related projects such as irrigation projects.
Farmers will be encouraged to produce not only rice but also corn which is a known product of Teresa
aside from mani/peanut. Commercial zoning will be extended along the Corazon Aquino Avenue,
Roman Roxas Road, Pantay-Buhangin Road and to the diversion road going to Boulevard to
accommodate commercial expansion.

4. Brief Review of CLUP/ZO Implementation

The Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) is posted on the municipal website for the information and
reference of all concerned. The Zoning Ordinance serves as the primary reference point for
implementing and enforcing the CLUP.

The municipality has an inspection team to ensure that establishments have obtained locational
clearances and other necessary permits from the local government.

Through the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, and later through the designated
Zoning Administrator, project applicants are guided to determine whether their proposed activities
are in conformity with the municipality’s CLUP.

31 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

With the use of modern tools such as Google Pro Maps and GIS, the proposed locations for locational
clearance applicants are double-checked. A Data Monitoring System has also been developed,
evolving from an Excel tool into a full software system that processes and records both new and
renewed locational clearances.

As of October 2023, the municipality recorded a 9.65% change in agricultural land, based on the
difference between the existing agricultural area and the reclassification applied in the Municipal
Zoning Administrator’s Office.

Comparing the proposed land use for 2013 to that of 2023 and the existing land use as of 2023,
percentage points were used due to the slight difference in the total land area of the municipality. In
the previously proposed land use, the municipality had a total of 2,212.78 hectares. In the CLUP 2023-
2034, the municipality uses 1,910.709 hectares of total land area. Based on this comparison, the
following observations can be made:

1. The existing Agro-Industrial Area is lower than the previously proposed by -1.64%, decreasing
from 8.36% to 6.72%.
2. The existing Agricultural Area saw a similar decrease of -1.82%, from 27.68% to 25.86%,
compared to the previously proposed.
3. The Buffer/Greenbelt Area showed a dramatic +8.51% increase (from 0.00% in the previous
proposal to 8.51% in 2023).
4. The Commercial Area decreased by -0.54%, from 1.12% to 0.59%, which may indicate that the
proposed commercial land use was not fully realized.
5. The Industrial Area increased by +1.07%, from 3.19% to 4.26%, signaling growth in industrial
zoning.
6. The Institutional Area saw a slight decrease of -0.24%, from 1.09% to 0.86%, reflecting a
reduction in institutional land use. The originally proposed land area in Barangay San Gabriel
was not established.
7. The Parks and Recreation Area decreased by -0.10%, from 0.37% to 0.27%.
8. The Quarry/Mining Area saw a slight increase of +0.63%, from 5.20% to 5.83%.
9. There was no change in the Rivers/Creeks category, which remained at 1.62%.
10. The Tourism Area increased slightly by +0.02%, from 0.05% to 0.07%, suggesting minor growth
in tourism-focused development.
11. Utilities were not previously included in the proposed land use but now represent 0.08% of
the total land use.

Overall, there is a 4.06 percentage point difference between the previously proposed land use and the
existing land use.

In terms of priority programs, projects, and activities from the last planning period, approximately
90% or more have been implemented. However, some programs should remain a priority due to the
growing population. Among the projects not yet implemented are the construction of a permanent
evacuation center and the establishment of a municipal park and playground. To address these needs,
the municipality must identify and acquire land for institutional use.

Based on the comparison between the proposed land use for 2013-2023, the existing land use as of
2024, and the programs, projects, and activities implemented, it can be concluded that the
implementation of the CLUP/ZO has been effective.

5. Land Use Plan

32 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

5.1 Urban Form and Land Use Pattern

Generally, concentric development is evident with medium densities along with the National Road in
the municipality. Commercial development extends from the national road specially in barangays
Poblacion, San Gabriel and Bagumbayan to the entire Corazon Aquino Avenue up to the provincial
roads (Roman Roxas Road and Pantay-Buhangin Road). As it attracts diverse economic investments
and settlement development, Residential and Commercial buildings also extend vertically up to
second to third floors. This also resulted from mild to heavy traffic congestion that’s why alternative
roads were constructed. One of these roads is the La Trinidad, Dulumbayan passing through Barangay
San Gabriel, Barangay San Roque and Barangay Bagumbayan. Another road constructed is the roads
in Barangay San Gabriel passing through Barangay Dalig and May-iba. These roads further attract other
developments especially after the pandemic where the entrepreneurship spirits of Teresaños were
boosted.

Aside from the growing population of the municipality, its proximity to Antipolo City also attracts
residential development away from the central business district (cbd).

Radial and circumferential form can be seen with location of industrial and agro-industrial
establishments. Major industrial establishments such as FR Cement is located within Barangay
Dulumbayan and Prinza, ABC and Teresa Marble corporation within May-iba, and Teresa Rubber
Corporation located nearby Barangay Dalig. Agro-industrial establishments such as Foremost and
Coral Farms are located in the eastern part of the municipality.

5.2 Inventory of Existing Land Uses

The municipality has 16 existing land use categories. These are Agro-industrial Area, Agricultural,
Agricultural SAFDZ, Buffer/Greenbelt Area, Cemetery Area, Commercial Area, Industrial Area,
Institutional Area, Parks and Recreation Area, Production Forest Area, Quarry/Mining Area,
Residential Area, Rivers/Creeks, Socialized Housing Area, Tourism Area and Utilities.

In terms of percentage to the total land area, agricultural land use ranks first (24.54%) and followed
by residential land use (21.07%). The production forest (9.65%) ranked third in the percent of land use
to the total land area. Agricultural-SAFDZ (8.53%) and Buffer/ Greenbelt area rank fourth and fifth
respectively.

a. Agricultural Areas

Agriculture occupies 792.043 ha. where 629.088 ha is agricultural and 162.955 ha is agricultural-
SAFDZ. Agricultural areas are located at Barangay Dulumbayan, Bagumbayan, Prinza, May-iba and

5.3 Structure Plan / Designated Growth Areas/ Spatial Development Strategies

Concept Plan/Development Strategies

The majority of the municipality's spatial arrangement will remain unchanged, but it will undergo
additional maintenance, improvements, and upgrades to infrastructure and utilities to mitigate hazard
risks and enhance services. In this arrangement, commercial areas developed along the national road
have expanded into a mixed commercial-residential zone. The Central Business District (CBD) is
situated near key facilities such as the church, public market, and municipal building. Residential areas
are located within a 3-15 minute travel radius from the CBD. The agro-industrial area is concentrated
to the east of the municipality, away from Teresa Proper. Industrial zones are spread across several
barangays, including May-iba, Dalig, Bagumbayan, and Prinza. This spatial configuration already offers
good proximity for workers in Teresa and supports strategic economic development along existing
national roads. This approach will be referred to as the “Do Nothing Strategy,” where dominant land
uses will remain in their current locations. This strategy preserves the bulk of existing investments in
these land uses and aims to protect unspoiled environmental areas and remaining agricultural lands.

In alignment with the regional development goals, the agro-industrial zones will remain unchanged,
although they will be closely monitored to mitigate potential environmental impacts, such as foul
odors and waste generation. The Municipality's Agriculture Office will continue to implement support
programs and projects to enhance food security and resiliency in poultry and livestock production.

The municipality will maintain strict controls over the reclassification of remaining agricultural lands,
preserving them as much as possible. Irrigation projects may be introduced in select areas to support
agricultural productivity. Development initiatives for agri-preneurs and agri-tourism will also be
promoted to improve the economic viability of the agricultural sector. Additionally, lands classified as
Strategic Agricultural and Forest Zones (SAFDZ) will be incorporated into the proposed land use plan.

To support the municipality’s economic growth, commercial land use will be expanded in key areas,
including Roman Roxas Road (from Corazon Aquino Avenue to Teresa Rubber Corporation), San
Gabriel to Dalig to May-iba (Boulevard) Road, and Pantay-Buhangin Road (from Corazon Aquino
Avenue to Pantay National High School). A major commercial zone will also be developed in Barangay
Bagumbayan, near St. Theresa Hospital. Furthermore, new industrial developments will be proposed
in the northeastern part of the municipality, near the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System
(MWSS) property.

Transportation and logistics play a crucial role in the municipality’s development. Currently, Corazon
Aquino Avenue is the only national road running through the municipality, but it is only 12 meters
wide. This creates a need for alternative routes to facilitate better access within the municipality. This
strategy focuses on utilizing existing roads within subdivisions and residential areas, as well as
connecting existing road networks. New bridges are proposed near the main Municipal Materials
Recovery Facility (MRF), spanning from Sitio Abuyod to Philsin and Jenny’s Garments. Additionally,
roads in Maximiano, Coral Residents, and Brilliant J Housing projects will be interconnected. This
approach aims to minimize the construction of new roads through agricultural areas, preventing the
reclassification of agricultural land to non-agricultural uses. In consideration of the national road’s
right-of-way limit of 20 meters, setbacks will be established to prepare for potential road widening by
the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH).

Given the lack of natural tourist attractions and a need for recreational spaces, the environmental
development strategy proposes the establishment of bamboo plantations and bike lanes along the

38 | Page

Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

river easement. Additionally, a mini-tree park will be developed within the MWSS property to enhance
green spaces and recreational opportunities.

5.4 Demand and Supply Analysis

Based on the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) standards in computing land demand, the table below show the low and high land demand per land
use.

Table 3. Computed Low and High Land Projected Demand Based on FAO Standards

41 | Page
 2024-2034 Teresa, Rizal Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

For the year 2023, the existing residential area exceeds both the minimum and maximum standards
set by FAO, covering more than 203.479 ha and 66.649 ha, respectively. In this context, the LGU should
have enough residential space for its population and must be cautious when converting land for
residential use. Teresa also has good shelter conditions, with a 1:1 house-to-household ratio based on
the Local Shelter Plan 2023-2032. However, the LSP also indicates that there are still a number of
displaced households, including those located in hazard-prone areas that need to be relocated, as well
as informal settlers.

On the other hand, there is a need to expand the commercial area, which is only 2.458 ha below the
low land demand standard.

In terms of industrial development, it exceeds the minimum standard, but most of these industrial
areas are already occupied. If the LGU decides to expand industrial areas, it could add up to 21.2095
ha more, following the high land demand standard.

Meanwhile, the institutional land area lags behind the low land demand standard by 24.64 ha. This
shortage is evident in the need to expand municipal buildings, provide additional classrooms in
schools, and create more space for the RHU.

Open space is still above the minimum standard; however, as the population increases up to the year
2030, more open spaces will be needed.

5.5 Proposed Land Use (Change in Land Use,” Planning Period/Proposed Land
Uses”)
The proposed land use change reflects a strategic focus on addressing both economic and social needs
within the municipality. A significant increase is observed in commercial and industrial areas, aimed
at boosting the local economy. The commercial area expands by 9.671 hectares, growing from 11.225
hectares to 20.896 hectares. This expansion is concentrated along Pantay-Buhangin Road in Barangay
Bagumbayan, where land previously designated for agricultural and residential use is being
converted. Similarly, the industrial area increases by 21.53 hectares, from an existing 81.413 hectares
to a proposed 102.943 hectares. This expansion is driven by an upcoming project by the Metropolitan
Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), aimed at enhancing the municipality's water supply,
which will also be located along Pantay-Buhangin Road.

To meet the growing social needs of the municipality’s residents, certain areas identified as built-up
in the NPAAD/SAFDZ map, but currently underdeveloped or still used for agriculture, have been
proposed for institutional use. This adjustment leads to an increase of 8.302 hectares in the
institutional land category, with these areas located in Barangays Dalig and May-iba. Additionally, part
of the Boy Scout Abuyod in Barangay Dalig, which is owned by the local government, has been
designated for institutional use, adding 1.962 hectares. As a result, the total institutional land use will
reach 26.49 hectares, marking an increase of 10.081 hectares. In parallel, the parks and recreation
areas are reduced to 3.247 hectares, reflecting a decrease in open space.

The increase in residential land is driven by the need to accommodate potential housing backlogs, as
outlined in the municipality’s Local Shelter Plan. These residential areas are primarily located adjacent
to Carissa Homes East 2 and the Rizal Provincial Government-owned lot in Barangay Dalig.

In terms of agriculture, the proposed land use includes a total of 791.638 hectares, consisting of
538.07 hectares of agricultural land and 183.898 hectares of Agricultural-SAFDZ. Of particular note is
the addition of 20.943 hectares of Agricultural-SAFDZ to ensure stricter protection of agricultural land,
located adjacent to the existing SAFDZ areas in Barangays Prinza and Dulumbayan. Additionally, 23.04
hectares of agricultural land along the easements of rivers and creeks have been reclassified as
Protection Buffer Areas, which are non-buildable but can still be used for agricultural activities under
strict guidelines to prevent damage to water quality. The total conversion of agricultural land to urban
use is 46.766 hectares. With a 10% allowable reclassification for the municipality, the remaining area
that can be reclassified is 32.3978 hectares.

Other land use categories, including agro-industrial, cemetery, utility MRF, production forest,
quarry/mining, socialized housing, tourism, river/creek, and road utility area, show no significant
changes in the proposed land use.

Proposed Land Use Policy/Guide

1. Moratorium on housing subdivision development is recommended in view of the policy to

balance development among housing, commerce, agriculture and tourism. Unbridled
subdivision development is likely to attract uncontrolled migrations that will in turn exert
undue pressure on the local government resources and services. Additional population should
be translated to more job opportunities in agriculture, manufacturing, trading, real estate,
construction and services. Exception will be made only if it is solely intended to address the
housing backlog of the municipality.

2. The remaining agricultural lands of the municipality shall be retained as far as practicable. The
reclassification into non-agricultural use shall only be upon recommendation of the Municipal
Zoning Board and Appeals and approval of the Sangguniang Bayan. Final approval of
reclassification shall be the Sangguniang Panlalawigan. Land conversion shall only be upon
approval of the Department of Agrarian Reforms and subject to its existing land conversion
processes.

3. Medium rise and mixed used development shall be encouraged to utilize land efficiently as
well as to provide easy access to services and employment.

4. Sidewalks along the road shall be kept free of obstruction at all times. There shall no
permanent or temporary structural encroachments within the road right-of way

5. All environmental resources such as ground and surface water shall be conserved and
enhanced.

6. Requiring establishments to use four (4) types of waste bins:

● Compostable (biodegradable)
● Non-recyclable (to be disposed off in the land fill/waste-to-energy plant)
● Recyclable (paper, cardboard, plastic, metal, wood, etc.)
● Special waste

7. Mining and quarrying areas must balance economic development with environmental
protection, public health and community interest:

Volume 1- Comprehensive Land Use Plan

● Ensure buffer to minimize impacts on nearby communities

● Secure copies of the Environmental Impact Assessment, Mitigation and
Rehabilitation Plan
● Conduct regular inspection with the Municipal Inspection team

8. In agro-industrial areas primarily focused on the production of poultry, swine, and similar
livestock, it is essential to mandate mitigation measures for any identified negative effects,
such as, but not limited to, foul odors. Mechanisms for feedback and grievances should be
established to effectively address community concerns. Compliance must be ensured through
regular inspections and enforcement mechanisms, which include proper disposal and
recycling of agro-industrial waste.
