Proposed Tacloban Recovery and

Rehabilitation Plan
April 2014

Tacloban Recovery and Sustainable Development Group

IN PARTNERSHIP WITH:

with support from:

 The Tacloban Recovery and
Rehabilitation Plan (TRRP) identifies
the immediate actions and operational
strategies that will lead our city and our
people towards recovery, rehabilitation, and
sustainable development.

Considering the „unique character of our city‟,

the TRRP emphasizes on the building back
better principle and actions consistent with
our long-term development vision, policies
and plans.
Guiding Principles

Inclusive and holistic– socially, environmentally, economically and culturally

balanced redevelopment; disaster recovery as an “opportunity”

Building back better and safer- exposure to future risk would be reduced; long-
term city benefits will not be sacrificed for short-term individual gains; Actions
shall address vulnerabilities and promote DRR

Multiple resource generation/financial sources to achieve broad base impacts

Needs-based and results oriented– considerate of both pre and post disaster
realities and complements existing capacities

Uses emergency responses/actions as building blocks for long-term recovery

Collaborative, multi-sector, participatory– national and local ownership and

engaging all stakeholders especially the communities
Our Key
Planning
Considerations
Key Considerations

• On 08 November 2013, Super

Typhoon Haiyan (Philippine
Name: Yolanda) hit the country
with winds of more than 378
km/hr and storm surges of 4 to
6 meters high.

• Our city is the regional hub of

Eastern Visayas (Region VIII)
and the fastest growing city in
the country, sustained the
greatest damage to housing,
business, and infrastructure.

• To date, the city is still reeling

from the aftermath of the
disaster.
Key Considerations
1. Our Geographic realities

• Tacloban‟s geographic
location lies in the path of the
20 typhoons on average that
hit the country every year

• It is also situated in that part

of Leyte island where a
“funnel” effect occurs and
which tends to invite the
strongest storm surges

• Its physiographic
characteristics makes it
vulnerable to many forms of
natural disasters
Key Considerations
2. Yolanda’s impact on Shelter and Livelihood

• Of the 30,513 totally damaged

houses in our city, 90% are along
the coast. The number of partially
damaged houses is 23,718.

• 42 of the city‟s 138 barangays have

coasts and lowlands considered as
danger zones. These danger zones
are mostly occupied by informal
settler families.

• Of houses totally damaged, about

10,000 belong to the urban poor.
Most of their sources of livelihood
have been destroyed by the
typhoon.
Key Considerations
3. Yolanda’s impact on Social Facilities and Services

• Over 6,000 people still stay in tents,

schools and other evacuation centers
which disrupted classes and other
functions.

• All the city‟s 7 hospitals (2 gov‟t, 5

private) and 17 barangay health centers
have sustained major structural and
equipment damage.

• 90% of all pre-schools, elementary and

high schools, and universities were
badly damaged; a few are not planning
to re-open.

• Some 36 public buildings incurred

major damage to roofs, ceilings,
windows, electrical and plumbing
systems
Key Considerations
4. State of lifeline Infrastructure and Utilities
• As of March 31, 2014, 100 percent
out of the city‟s 138 barangays have
power supply. 82 percent (29,784
out of 35,937 connections) have been
energized.

• Water services have also been

restored as of November 2013
however the water supply only covers
35% of the city‟s requirements.

• While major drainage channels have

been cleared, they will require
upgrading and security to keep them
permanently functional.

• Communication land-lines are not

yet fully restored.
Key Considerations
5. State of Commerce and Industry

• The majority of the city‟s business

establishments were damaged and
suffered interrupted operations. As
of April 30, 2014, only 20 percent
(3,340 out of 16,473 registered in
2013) of the city‟s total
establishments have renewed their
business licenses.

• Fish and produce trading has been

disrupted (affecting mainly poor
fishermen and small traders). Source: www.philstar.com

• Many commercial activities are

hampered or have not reopened. For
2014, 72 have filed temporary
closure while 115 filed retirement
closure.
Key Considerations
6. Condition 0f Natural Environment

• Informal settlers, commercial and

industrial establishments
traditionally occupy coastal danger
zones (which compromise the
natural state of the coast).

• Natural siltation and man-made

obstructions affect rivers, creeks and
other natural drainage channels.

• Developments are encroaching into

timberlands
Potentials &
Opportunities
(Pre and Post Disaster)
Potentials & Opportunities
Our Human Resources

• Taclobanons are highly educated

(221,174 population; NSO 2010).

• Taclobanons are self-reliant and

hopeful as evidenced by our
unanimous vote to convert the city
into a Highly Urbanized City.

• Taclobanons are resilient and able to

rise above serious difficulties; they
immediately started rebuilding their
lives and economy after the typhoon.

Potentials & Opportunities
Our Land and Water Resources

• Tacloban has areas on high ground

that are safe from disasters; these
lands are suitable for urban
development and other productive
uses

• Lands suitable for agriculture and

agro-industrial development are
available especially in the northern
part of our city.

• The timberland area offers possible

water sources and eco-tourism
opportunities

• The coastal areas offer possibilities for

productive uses (subject to DRR
considerations)
Potentials & Opportunities
Our City is the Regional Commercial Center

• Due to our strategic location,

Tacloban City is the premier city of
Eastern Visayas -the gateway to the
region, and the center of trade,
commerce, industry, education,
communication and technology.

• Our city is the home to the Daniel Z.

Romualdez Airport, the seaport in San
Pedro Bay, and the Eastern Visayas
Regional Growth Center (EVRGC)
Economic Zone.

• The economy of Region VIII and other

neighboring Regions are extensively
linked with Tacloban‟s services and
urban facilities.
Potentials & Opportunities
Center of Culture, Arts and Education

• Tacloban is at the core of the

unique Waray-Waray culture and
tradition

• Our city is the center for education

in the Region:
-- 35 private and public
Pre-Schools
-- 58 Elementary Schools
-- 27 High Schools
-- 19 Tertiary Schools
(including the University of the
Philippines)

Potentials & Opportunities
Historical Significance and Heritage Resources

• Tacloban played a significant role in

Philippine history (the landing of the
Gen. Douglas MacArthur and his forces
that liberated the country during WWII)

• General MacArthur set up his

headquarters at the Joseph Price
Mansion which is now a heritage
landmark.

• Tacloban served as the temporary seat

and capital of the country‟s
Commonwealth Government until its
final liberation.

• Our city‟s heritage resources provide

Tacloban with its unique identity that

1. Construction

• Tacloban will rebuild (houses,

institutions, infrastructure). This will
require construction labor, which the
currently unemployed can provide,
with some skills adjustment.

• The rebuilding will spur ancillary

industries and create a huge demand
for a wide range of construction
supplies as well as services.

• The construction of the 7,000 houses

in the north will serve as the catalyst.
This may generate about P300-500M
labor cost. This amount can boost the
purchasing power of the families and
create an impact on the economy.

2. Trading

• Tacloban has a huge market of 4

million people; it has to redeem its
role as the region‟s trading hub.

• A trading center can provide an

impetus to the reemergence of
Tacloban as the regional trading
hub.

• Traders can establish a wide range of

wholesale stores at the trading
center which can also accommodate
ancillary facilities such as a
slaughterhouse, warehouses, cold
storage, restaurants, and a transport
terminal. Cebu

3. Agricultural Diversification

• In addition to traditional means

of support to fisher folks and
rice and corn producers, new
crops for cultivation and animals
for raising will be introduced to
create new opportunities for
livelihood and food security.

• Areas for vegetable farms and

for free-range poultry will be set
aside in the government
property in the north in
collaboration with major
supermarket chains in a contract
farming arrangement.

3. Agricultural Diversification
(long term)

• Another area can be set aside for

raising goats which has a huge
market in the Middle East,
Southeast Asia, and the USA.

• Agriculture and fisheries trigger a

demand for other industries such as
seed production, farm and fish farm
equipment, implements and tools,
farm and fish farm supplies, agro-
processing, fish processing, feed
mills, marketing, packaging and
cold storage.
