The Sectoral Studies
1.0 HISTORY
Named after its Patron Saint, Francis of Assisi, 1181-1226, the Municipality of San
Francisco de Malabon was founded on 13 December, 1748. The name of the town was
later changed to General Trias in honor of Gen. Mariano Trias (1868-1914), by virtue of
a law fathered by Emilio P. Virata during his term as representative of Cavite, from 1919
to1921.
The name Malabon was derived from either Labong (bamboo shoot) or mayabong
(luxuriant), referring to the trees and other plants abounding the place. The first
reference has been derived to be more probable than the second because General
Trias, a noted writer, adopted the “nom de guerre” “Labong”, a word which he often used
in his writings and conversations.
The old town of San Francisco de Malabon used to be a big Municipality comprising its
present area plus Sta. Cruz de Malabon or Malabon El Chico (now known as Tanza),
and Rosario (formerly known as Tejeros of Salinas, its revolutionary name). This vast
area within the Hacienda de San Francisco owned by the friars was purchased by Doña
Isabel Gomez de Cariaga on 14 June, 1788.
The first uprising in the province or “First Cry of Cavite” during the Philippine Revolution
occurred in San Francisco de Malabon on 31 August, 1896 at about ten o’clock in the
morning. The town’s tribunal was captured by Filipino revolutionists led by Mariano
Trias, Diego Mojica and Nicolas Portilla. The second incident followed at twelve o’clock
in Noveleta and the third in Cavite El Viejo (now Kawit) between 2:00 and 3:00 in the
afternoon. It is noteworthy that the revolution started in Cavite only five days before the
“Cry of Balintawak” on 26 August, 1896.
The Sangguniang Bayan Magdiwang headed by General Mariano Alvarez of Noveleta

and the Sangguniang Balangay Mapagtiis of San Francisco de Malabon later merged
under the name Magdiwang Council with Mariano Alvarez as president. The Magdiwang
Council was subsequently reorganized after the arrival of Andres Bonifacio in Cavite,
making the Katipunan Supremo the Haring Bayan (King) and Mariano Alvarez, the
Pangalawang Haring Bayan (vice King). This was the composition of the Magdiwang
Council from early December 1896 to 22 March, 1897 when the Tejeros Convention
was held. This convention established the Revolutionary Government to replace the
Katipunan. It was held by the Magdiwang Council at the friar estate house in Sitio
Tejero, now part of Rosario, Cavite. General Emilio Aguinaldo was elected (in absentia)
president of the Revolutionary Government during the same convention.
General Trias, who served with General Aguinaldo throughout the Revolution and
during the Philippine-American War, became the first provincial governor of Cavite
under the American regime. Shortly after the outbreak of the war on 4 February, 1899,
General Trias, the secretary of the treasury in the Mabini Cabinet, was appointed by
Aguinaldo as the supreme civilian and military commander of Southern Luzon.
General Trias had an agonizing re-appraisal of his position in the revolution 23 days
after Aguinaldo’s treacherous capture (23 March 1901) by the Americans in Palanan,
Isabela. In a letter to General Miguel Malvar, his second in command, General Trias
said that “In view of the course it (war) had taken, I believe it is difficult, if not impossible,
for us to attain our goal of independence by armed struggle. Consequently, General
Trias surrendered to the Americans in order to pursue the task of “securing
independence in a lawful manner and by peaceful means”.

General Malvar, on the other hand, decided to continue the war until his men, suffering
from battle fatigue and lack of food and ammunition, virtually abandoned their chief,
forcing him to surrender on 16 April 1902.

2.0 THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Location , Land Area and Political Subdivision
General Trias is an inland municipality with a total land area of 8,890 hectares. The
municipality straddles the northeastern part of the province and its Poblacion is located
at 14°23’12” latitude and 120°52’46” longitude. It is 32 kilometers southwest of Manila
and is 18.27 kms. distant from the Provincial Capitol in Trece Martires City. Figure 1
presents the Location Map.
The land shape of General Trias follows the path of its territorial boundaries in the
eastern and western sections, which is the river. It is bounded in the north by Noveleta;
in the northeast by Imus and Kawit; in the east by Dasmariñas; in the southeast by
Silang; in the south by Amadeo; in the west by Tanza; Rosario in the northwest and
Indang in the southwest.Figure2 presents the Base Map of the Municipality.
General Trias is a first class municipality in the province of Cavite and forms part of the
Cavite’s sixth congressional district, (District VI). The town is currently known as “A
New Frontier for Development in the CALABARZON”.
2.2 Geophysical Attributes
2.2.1 Topography
The topography of the Municipality is generally flat to gently rolling with deeply cut river
channels. The lowest elevation is in Barangay Tejero and Bacao II at an elevation of
eight meters above mean sea level (amsl). The Poblacion has an elevation of about 12
meters while Barangay Manggahan, at the junction of Governor’s Drive, has an
elevation of approximately 114 meters. The southern portion of the Municipality has the
highest elevation with Barangay Panungyanan at 250 and Javalera at 200 meters amsl.
2.2.2 Slope
The slope of the land mainly ranges from level to undulating especially at the
Municipality’s northern half. The southern portion, on the other hand, is of mixed slope
as level lands become interspersed with rolling terrain which basically forms footslopes
ultimately leading to the Tagaytay ridge. Steep to very steep slopes in the Municipality
may be observed along the deeply cut river channels. Table 1 summarizes the slope
characteristics of General Trias while Figure 3 presents the Slope Map.

2.2.3 Soil Characteristics
The types of soil in the Municipality of General Trias belong to the Guadalupe,
Magallanes and Quingua series. These range from clay, clay loam, loam and sandy
loam. These soil types have fair to good agricultural potential and are suited to a wide
range of agricultural crops. Certain areas of flat lands, however, have been observed to
exhibit a decrease in thickness of clay as observed in parts of Barangay Bacao, Navarro
and other barangays. Table 2 and Figure 4 show the area coverage and mapped
location of these various soil types.

ComprehensiveLand Use and Development Plan (2000-2015)
Guadalupe Soil Series
This is the predominant soil series in the Municipality. It is underlain by volcanic

tuffaceous materials of various degrees of disintegration and weathering. The surface
soil is dark brown to nearly black, sticky and plastic clay. The sub-soil is lighter in color
than the surface soil. Barangays having this soil series include San Juan, Pinagtipunan,
Tapia, Navarro, Pasong Camachile, Pasong Kawayan, Santiago, Buenavista, San
Francisco, Manggahan and the northern portion of Biclatan.
Magallanes Soil Series
The surface soil is friable, coarse and granular and with colors ranging from brown, pale
brown to light-reddish brown or yellowish-brown. The sub-soil is tuffaceous and
yellowish-brown. The surface and sub-soils are underlain by volcanic tuff ranging in
depth from 80 to 120 centimeters. The southern barangays of Panungyanan, Alingaro,
Javalera and the southern half of Biclatan are characterized by this soil series.
Quingua Soil Series
These soils have characteristically brownish color throughout their profiles. Surface
soils are brown to dark brown silty clay loam with yellowish brown and grayish brown
blotches of different colors. This type occurs only in places along the lower part of
General Trias and Ylang-YlangRiver as they are typically river deposits of sandy
materials.

2.3 Geologic and Other Natural Hazards
2.3.1 Geology and Geomorphology
General Trias, like most parts of Cavite province, is a volcanic region underlain by
volcanic deposits that are characteristically waterlaid. Along with the rest of Cavite, it is
a part of Southwest Luzon’s seismic structure as observed in a 1996 study on the
Monterey Property in Barangay San Francisco conducted by GAIA South Consultants.
This seismogenic structure includes the Verde Island Fault, Lubang Fault, Philippine
Fault and the Manila Trench. Other possible seismogenic structures are the Taal Fault,
Manila Bay Fault Zone and the Marikina Fault. General Trias is however, considered
less susceptible to seismic structure than the other parts of Cavite because of its
underlain soil structure of consolidated alluvial materials. It is also outside the
recognized hazard area of Taal volcano.
Based on Ground Shaking Hazard Map prepared by PHIVOLCS-DOST in 2008, the

municipality is susceptible to PEIS intensity VIII and above ground shaking, which is
considered as destructive. The municipality is also considered not susceptible to
earthquake induced landslide except for a portion of areas near the waterways of
Barangays Manggahan, Buenavista III, San Francisco, Panungyanan and Alingaro,
where the slope along the sides of the river is steep, which may collapse during
earthquake. While the hazard of liquefaction is being considered in the northern
portion of General Trias starting from low susceptible areas covering portions of
Barangays Tapia, Pasong Camachile I and the whole part of San Juan I, Poblacion and
Navarro. Meanwhile, Barangays moderately susceptible to liquefaction are Barangays
Bacao I and II, Tejero and San Juan II where water table is shallow between 3 to 10
meters and soil type is sandy.
General Trias, like any other neighbouring municipalities, is frequently visited by

typhoons particularly during rainy season. There were no regular recorded flash flood in
the municipality except during typhoon “Milenyo” in September 28-29, 2006, where
portion of Butas Dam collapsed causing flood and river overflow in the Poblacion and
adjoining barangays that killed 26 people . Presently, the flooding problem during
heavy monsoon rain in lowland barangays are mainly due to inadequate drainage
system. Rain induced landslide is not susceptible in low lying barangays and those
areas within low susceptibility include Barangays Tapia and Pasong Camachile I up to
Barangays Alingaro and Panungyanan. Moderate susceptibility is located in the south
western portion of Barangays Pasong Kawayan II, Buenavista I and II, Manggahan,
Biclatan, and Javalera. Figure 5 presents the Geomorphologic map while Figures 6
to 10 present the different hazard maps that pertain to the municipality of General Trias
2.3.2 Soil Erosion
The soil structure of General Trias, based on the observed and assessed consolidated
results of soil and water explorations conducted by different well drillers from 1990 to
1998, is characterized by top soils covered with clay or a combination of sand and silt.
Underneath are layers of sandstone, stiff clay, clayey rock or combination of sand, clay
or silt of various gradings (fine to medium, coarse) and at varying depths.
There is no area in the Municipality that has been reported to experience regular soil
erosion. Erosion occasionally occurs only along the riverbanks of Ylang-Ylang and
Malabon Grande River, brought by the rampage of floodwater rising along the narrow
and deep channels during rainy season. Man-made soil erosion was also observed in
some real estate development projects where developers resorted to filling-in depressed
portions of riverbanks.

2.5 Resources
2.5.1 Land Resources
 Land Formation
The Municipality’s land formation is mainly categorized as terraces with residual

soils and broad alluvial plains. Terraces with residual soils are described as unstable
flood plains having meandering river channels, embankment and with moderately
well drained alluvial soils susceptible to occasional flooding caused by river overflow
during monsoon months. This category may be found in the northern barangays of
Bacao, Tejero, and San Juan extending southward to Pasong Kawayan, Buenavista
and San Francisco.
Broad plains are described as higher and more stable floodplains. The southern half
of the municipality, with elevations ranging from 114 to 250 meters amsl comprises
this category.
 Land Classification and Regulatory Status
The municipality of General Trias is generally classified alienable and disposable

land. These lands are built-up areas as well as production areas, being used in
various ways, either for agriculture, residences, open areas etc. These lands are
intended for urban, economic and demographic developments.
At present, dense growth of trees can be found along waterways but cannot be
classified as forest lands because of the very small area covered by the trees mixed
with the shrubs, other vines, and other non-commercial value crops. DENR
considers General Trias as outside the Forest Land Category.
 Land Suitability Assessment
The environmental and physical context of General Trias is important to establish

how much land is suitable to accommodate future urban development in the
municipality. The physical, as well as the environmental attributes of the municipality
is considered for this purpose. From these, attributes, physical constraints and/or
environment critical areas are identified, which are then used to locate suitable
areas for urban development.
Figure 11 shows the land suitability map that will identify broad area suitable for
urban versus non-urban usage. It sets up essentially a guide to basically locate
future urban development in General Trias considering the sensitive environmental,
physical factors as well as the environmentally critical areas for the municipality.
 ECAs – the environmentally critical areas are concentrated in the northern

portion of the municipality. ECA’s constitute about 61.30 % of the total land
area covering an area of 5,449.8 hectares.
 Comprised the sensitive areas dominated by prime agricultural

lands subject to flooding caused by river overflow during
monsoon months. Mixed land uses can be accomodated
like industrial, residential and commercial purposes subject to
mitigating measures as imposed in the Zoning Ordinance.
16
Volume 3
● Areas prone to flooding - Low to Medium density type of

housing development are more preferred in these areas,
because of the topographic pattern of the municipality
getting low from south to north, making the areas susceptible
to flooding.
● Existing industrial zones are also classified as ECAs, thus, more

restrictions in terms of proper zoning will be imposed to locators
on site with settlements, flooding and productive agricultural
farming. Likewise, restriction guidelines for noise and air
pollution levels for development around existing industrial
establishments, must be consistent with DENR standards.
● Steep Hills – areas with slopes ranging from 20% to 60 % are

considered to be environmentally critical because these may
involve high risk of erosion. Areas in the municipality of General
Trias characterized by this category are usually situated along
the riverbanks.
● Rivers and streams’ easement of about 3 to 20 meters from both

sides throughout the entire length of any river is considered to
be environmentally critical. No structures of any kind shall be built
in this area. Areas within this range are subject to easement of
public use in the interest of recreation, fishing, floatage, etc.
● With less proposed development, agricultural lands will be

protected, thus, ECAs are avoided as a site for urban development.
 Non-ECAs comprised the upland area of the municipality from

Barangays Pasong Kawayan, Buenavista and San Francisco down to
Barangays Alingaro and Panungyanan. Non-ECA’s constitute about 38.70%
of the total area covering an area of 3,440.20 hectares.
● This category comprised the higher and more stable floodplains,

level to rolling terrain with 0 to 20% slope with deeply cut
river channels and creeks for drainage system. The southern half
of the municipality comprised this category and are considered
susceptible to flooding.
● Most of the areas in the non-ECAs are accessible to primary and

secondary roads.
● Concentration of pasture and grasslands to include open and

vacant lands covering an area of 858.76 hectares are located in
non-ECAs which are considered highly suitable for future urban
development.

Surface Waters
The Municipality has a number of major rivers flowing northward to Manila Bay. These
include the Imus River (Ylang-Ylang River) located in the eastern part, Cañas River in
the west, Rio Grande (Malabon River) in the north, Halang River in the southeast and
Panaysayan and Pulonan Rivers in the southwest. Refer to Table 4.

General Trias’ rivers are classified under DENR A.O. 34-90 as class D. Their beneficial
uses are for agriculture, irrigation livestock, watering and industrial water
supply
(Class II). Most developments in the municipality use the rivers as outfall for waste and
runoff water. Figure 12 presents the Surface Water Map of the municipality of General
Trias.
Groundwater
Shallow, deep and dug wells serve majority of General Trias’ population. The
northernmost barangays, from portions of Pinagtipunan, Sta. Clara and Navarro to the
Rosario/ Noveleta boundary, are considered within potential areas of high-yielding wells.
These locations account for about 15 percent of the total area of the municipality. About
85 percent of the municipality covering 18 barangays are, on the other hand, considered
deepwell areas where it may be relatively more difficult to extract groundwater.

2.6 Land Use
2.6.1 Land Use Development

The municipality of General Trias has a total land area of 8,890 hectares or 6.23
percent of the total land area of Cavite. It is subdivided into 33 barangays, 10 of which
are located within the vicinity of the Poblacion.
Land form comprises of 4,824 of flat lands (0%-3%) at the northern portion and 3,097
hectares of gently sloping to rolling terrain (3%-20%) at the southern part of the
municipality. Starting from Barangay Pasong Kawayan II towards Barangay
Panungyanan.
About 46.47 percent of the total land area is considered highly suitable for a wide range
of crops. The lowland areas are used primarily for rice farming while the upland areas
are used for plantation cropping (coffee, fruit trees, banana and pineapple).
Largely due to rapid development and industrialization, much of the municipality’s
agricultural lands have been converted into industrial and housing use. The agricultural
area has decreased from 75% to 47% of total land area from 1993 to 2011. Many of
these converted lands have been planned or have already been developed into
industrial estates and housing subdivisions located at the southern portion of the
municipality.
General Trias built-up area has increased from 35.87 % to 44.44% of the total land
area from 2005 to 2011. Much of the additional built-up area has been attributed to the
expansion of social services, particularly housing, which has to keep up with the
growing number of households.
The actual land use utilization of the municipality of General Trias is presented in
Table 5 and Figure 14.

Agricultural Area
Based on the 2011 Existing Land Use tabulation, the municipality is predominantly
agricultural comprising 46.46% of the total land area. It may be noted that the total
agricultural area (4,131.25 hectares) exceeds the total built up area (3,950.48 hectares)
by 180.77 hectares or 2.03 percent of the total land area. The total agricultural area is
comprised by the land uses identifies as agricultural (2,565.34 hectares), forest park
(8.58 hectares), agro-industrial (264.64 hectares), open/vacant lands (1,292.69
hectares). The open or idle land estimated for the current year approached just about
one-third (32 percent) of the total agricultural land.
Urban Use Areas
The municipality’s built-up area, which is the next biggest land use in terms of land area
that comprises 44.44% of the total land area is a mix of residential, industrial,
commercial, institutional and recreational areas. About 38% of these are residential
areas mostly found in Poblacion, San Francisco, San Juan I, Pinagtipunan, Buenavista
III and Pasong Camachile I and II, with population density of above 40 persons per
hectare. Much of the additional built-up area has been attributed to the proliferation of
residential subdivisions in recent years.
Industrial and commercial areas account for 11.09 % and 5.34 % of the total built up
area, respectively. There are about 871.26 hectares of utilities and roads, which is
22.05 % of the total built-up area.
Other Uses/Categories
Cemeteries, dumpsite and buffer zones belonging to other uses/categories

account for
0.74 percent of the total. Just as the rivers with a total of 419.03
hectares and
tourism occupies 317.35 hectares, representing 4.71 and 3.57 percent of the
total land
area, respectively.

3.0 DEMOGRAPHY
3.1 Demographic Profiling
3.1.1 Population Composition
3.1.1.1 Total Population by Age Group and Sex
The age and sex composition of General Trias’ population in 2010 is shown in Table 6
and Figure 15. Children aged 5 to 9 years comprised the biggest group, accounting for
around 11.03 percent of the total household population.
There were more females than males, thus the over-all sex ratio approaches 95.20, i.e.
there were 95 males for every 100 females. The sex ratio, however was highest in the
younger age groups (under 1-14 years old) and the 40-49 age group, registering as
much as 107 males per 100 females.
Females from ages 60 years old and above outnumbered their male counterparts
reflective of the longer life expectancy of the former. A great population of females was
also observed to be within their highly productive years. This implies a potential for a
more rising birth rate at least in the near future.

The population in the labor force (or economically active population) which are the
proportion of population 15-64 years old who are either employed or unemployed but
looking for work in relation to the population, was registered at 157,922 persons. This
implies that 65 percent of the total household population in 2010 were in their
economically productive years.

General Trias Public Employment Service Office (PESO) has been institutionalized in
2008. Since its inception, job placement programs was intensified and a series of job
fairs both local and overseas were regularly conducted. With the harmonious
partnership with local based companies and the local government of General Trias
through effective management and coordination of General Trias PESO, residents were
given priority in filling up the labor requirements of company employers. Moreover, the
cost, time and efforts extended by both job seekers and employers were reduced.
The provision of livelihood opportunities arose as one of the solutions in alleviating

poverty and improving the quality of life of the citizenry. The key is to empower the
marginalized sector of the society by helping them identify their surrounding resources
and transform these into potent weapons for generating wealth through proper training
and helping them to become self-reliant and productive members of the community.

Volume 3
Considering this, the local government empowered Gentriseħos with skills and
competence for jobs and livelihood through various training programs initiated by the
MSWD and Cooperative Development Unit. Aside from gainful employment, a wider
option for income generation were provided such as organization of cooperatives,
capital assistance and subsidies to community based enterprises. To date, General
Trias has 25 cooperatives and has released financial assistance in the form of loans
and grants.
Data gathered from the PESO reveals that there is a total of 184,703 work force, (i.e.
people who are employed and working) in General Trias as of November 2011. While
the labor force, that include the actual number of people available for work, whether
employed or unemployed, consist of 123, 135 persons. Table 9 presents the labor and
employment data of the municipality while Table 10 depicts the rendered public

3.1.1.4 School-Age Population
Using the interpolation method per HLURB Guidelines, the total school age population
ages 7 to 21 is computed at 77,959 as shown in Table 11. This accounts to 32
percent of the total population of 2010, implying that there should be a continuous
review and evaluation of the required education facilities to meet the learning needs of
the growing number of students. Requirements in the number of classrooms, textbooks
and teachers based on increasing enrollment should be seriously addressed.

3.1.2 Population Distribution
3.1.2.1 Barangay Distribution

Data on population distribution by barangay presented in Table 12 indicates the
unbalanced spatial distribution of the town’s population. The 2010 population data
indicates that the most populated areas of General Trias were barangays San
Francisco, Pasong Camachile I and II, Pasong Kawayan II and Manggahan accounting
for around 55 percent of the town’s aggregate population.
Most of the barangays experienced an increase in their total population. Barangays
Pasong Camachile I, Pasong Kawayan II, Pasong Camachile II and Navarro posted
remarkable increases of 438.37 percent, 362.73 percent, 249.38 percent and 230.52
percent, respectively. On the other hand, there are eight (8) barangays located within
the Poblacion area that experienced moderate population losses between 2000 and
2010, which were more likely due to movement of residences to other barangays within
the municipality.

3.1.2.2 Household Population and Household Size
31
Volume 3
Estimates and projections of the number of households are extremely useful in planning
especially for mass housing and other specific types of utilities. Ideally, the number of
households should grow parallel to population. From 2000 to 2010, the household
population of General Trias represents a more than 126 percent increase from
107,077 in 2000 to 2010 household population of 242,917 The average household size,
however, moderately decreased from 4.8 in 1995 to 4.05 in 2010. The decreasing
household size is an indication of increasing household dissolution which in turn is
probably affected by the increasing purchasing power of families and individuals in
extended households to acquire their own houses. Refer to Table 13.

3.1.2.3 Urbanization Level
32
Volume 3
Formerly, General Trias was considered to be an urban-rural town particularly during

the past census year of 1990, with a negative tempo of urbanization of 26.68 percent.
This implies that the municipality was more of a rural than an urban area, registering
a 36.66 percent urban and 63.34 percent rural. Nevertheless, in the actual Census of
2000, General Trias unexpectedly, becomes 100 percent urban. At present, the
tempo of urbanization of the town is recorded at 8.49 percent. Moreover, General
Trias was declared as highly urbanized as per EO No. 96 pursuant to Provincial
Ordinance 2004-001, otherwise known as the 2004 Revised Revenue Code of the
Province of Cavite.
The industrialization of the town way back in the mid part of decade 90’s, gave way to
a radical transformation of General Trias towards becoming a progressive and
urbanized town. Undoubtedly, the economic thrusts has developed into a machinery
that almost ensured achieving the targets as envisioned by its leaders. Passersby
would notice the town’s radical face-lifting, a decisive revelation of its progress, as
evidenced by the numerous infrastructure projects like the concreting of pavements and
roads, day care center buildings, barangay halls, various educational institutions,
basketball courts and several other uncountable programs beneficial to the citizenry. All
these variations has transformed General Trias from a fourth class to a first class
municipality.
The town’s urbanization has brought vibrancy to the local economy as the municipal
government revenues have also been significantly increasing. Consequently, General
Trias experienced a shift from having a predominantly agricultural to an increasingly
urban socio-economic structure.
The increase in urban population of the town was due mainly to the heavy in-migration
of the people brought about by the mushrooming of industrial, commercial and
residential activities. The municipality is now considered a fast emerging
metropolitan area due to its proximity to NCR, where development in infra-
transportation network and urbanization spill-over is easily catched by General Trias.
Currently, General Trias is identified as part of Cavite’s Second Growth Corridor,

significantly categorizing it as “The Industrial, Commercial and Residential Hub” due to
its rapid urbanization as well as being Metro Manila’s expansion site for residential
growth.
3.1.2.4 Population Density
The municipality’s population density is at 27.37 persons per hectare based on the
census of 2010. It increased by 14.99 persons/hectare from 12.38 persons/hectare in
2000 and is almost 21 percent higher than that of the provincial average estimated at
21.66 persons/hectare.
The population densities of the barangays are presented in Table 15 and Figure 16.
The 2010 census data indicates that the most densely populated areas of General Trias
was Barangay Arnaldo with 246.1 persons per hectare. Governor Ferrer followed with
158 persons per hectare. The lowest population densities were recorded at Barangay
Alingaro at 4.124 persons per hectare followed by Javalera with 7.292 persons per
hectare.

business and employment opportunities. The Municipal population growth rate during
the said period almost doubled to that of the provincial rate calculated at 4.12 percent,
as shown in Table 17.

3.2.3 Projected Labor Force, School-Age Population, and Dependent Population

Population growth over a period of time, leads to an increase in the working-age
population, which is a prime determinant of the labour force supply. In spite of the effect
of natural increase, the impact of heavy migration being experienced by the town due
to its continuously expanding industrial activities significantly influences its evolving age
structure. It is an important fact that migration is mostly “selective” favouring persons at
the working ages. Likewise, by year 2015, the school-age going population is estimated
to increase by almost 50 percent, resulting to an estimate of 117,184 persons.
Meanwhile, the dependent population comprised the young and old dependents, aged
0-14 and 65 and over, are expected to increase by 201,977 and 18,066, respectively,
at the end of planning period. Refer to Table 25.

Volume 3
4.1 Education
Education plays a vital role in shaping the children’s future. The gift of quality education
is also an investment to a brighter future, a changed life and a developed community.
Recognizing this, the municipality of General Trias continues to implement a
comprehensive education program that gives free pre-school, elementary and
secondary education to residents through the Department of Education. Annually, the
Office of the Mayor provides free school supplies to almost 40,000 Grades 1-6 pupils of
the 25 elementary schools of the town. Teaching materials are also given to faculty and
staff of all public elementary and secondary schools before the start of the school year.
Moreover, cleaning and painting materials are also being provided during the yearly
conduct of Brigada Eskwela.
The local government also runs a public learning resources unit – the General Trias
Municipal Library provides a facility conducive for learning and offers resources to
students and book lovers for information, additional knowledge and education. It has an
e-library (electronic library) with seven (7) computers which can accommodate 50
researchers a day at a minimal cost per hour.
The K+12 Basic Education Program
The municipality of General Trias shall support the the DepEd’s K-6-4-2 System, or the
K to 12 which means Kindergarten and the 12 years of elementary and secondary
education. Kindergarten refers to the 5-year old cohort who undergoes a standardized
Kinder curriculum. Elementary education refers to primary schooling that involves 6
years of education (Grades 1-6) while secondary education refers to four years of junior
high school (Grades 7-10 or HS Year 1-4) and two years of senior high school (Grades
11-12 or HS Year 5-6).
By SY 2012-2013, the new curriculum will be offered to incoming Grade 1 as well as
to incoming junior high school students (Grade 7 or HS Year 1). The extended high
school program should be packaged for the preparation of students for career and
higher education. A full 12 years of basic education will be required for entry into tertiary
level education by SY 2018-2019. Completion of K to 12 education shall be compulsory
for those who will go to college/university.
The LGU shall allocate sufficient funds in the construction of school buildings and
school site expansion in order to support the calls on local government units to
participate in the provision of new classrooms to schools to support this K+12 program.
4.1.1. Formal Education’s Performance Indicators
Generally, the sector performance at the

elementary level during SY 2011-2012
was fairly satisfactory. Participation rate,
the proportion of the school age-
elementary school population who were
enrolled, were at satisfactory levels at
97.08 % in District I and 94.71% in
District II. Survival rate, which is the
proportion of enrollees at the beginning
grade or year who reach the final grade
or year at the end of the required
number of years Of study, was highest
during school year 2011-2012 at 92.05
percent.
47
Volume 3
The consistent zero dropout rates and the relatively high completion rate at the
elementary level during the last three school year period indicates the good
performance of the education sector. Likewise, the graduation rate that remained
steady at 100 percent for District II, was equally impressive. There are, however
increasing inadequacies in terms of the number of classrooms and teachers. The
existing classroom-student ratio and teacher- student ratio is below the standard;
These may have been brought about by, among others, the fast increasing number of
students due to rapid population growth.
Table 26 presents the performance of the education sector of Districts I and II,
respectively, for school years 2009-2010, 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.

Secondary education sector’s performance, on the other hand, was lagging behind that
of the elementary, particularly in terms of participation rates and drop out rates. One
possible reason for the very low participation rates achieved by certain secondary level
schools, was the student’s preference to enroll in schools outside their areas of
residence.

Volume 3
Gov. Ferrer Memorial National High School-Main and Tropical Village National High
School had the highest dropout rates for the school years 2009-2011 at 10.73 and 9.69;
and 8.89 for the school year 2011-2012, respectively. Santiago National High School
exhibited the lowest survival rate with 32% along with Tropical Village National High
School with lowest completion rates at 64.51 and 57.01 for school years 2010-2011 and
2011-2012, respectively. On the other hand, participation rate was highest during school
year 2010-2011 at 91.42% in GFMNHS-Biclatan Annex. As to classroom–student-
teacher ratio, almost all public secondary schools fell below the standard, hence there
is a need for additional classrooms and teachers. Please refer to Table 27.

Enrollment figures reveal the magnitude of the patronage of majority of General Trias’
population on the elementary and secondary education facilities provided by the
government. Enrollment in public elementary schools increased by about 12 percent in
S.Y. 2011-2012. Secondary enrollment in both public and private schools also
increased during the said period.
For School Year 2011-2012, pre-schools registered a total of 4,881 and 2,175
enrollees for the public and private pre-schools respectively. Public elementary
schools logged a total enrollment of 28,665 while private elementary schools have a
total of 7,470 enrollees. Meanwhile, public secondary schools posted a total number of
10,457 enrollees for School Year 2011-2012.

Both public and private elementary and secondary enrollment have an increasing trend.
Enrollment in public elementary schools increased slightly by 1.38% between SY
51
Volume 3
2009-2010 and SY 2010-2011 and 14.37% between SY 2010-2011 and 2011-2012.

Total enrollment in both public and private secondary schools increased from 12,557
in SY 2010-2011 to 13,739 in SY 2011-2012 or an increase of 9.41 percent in number
of enrollees. As for the tertiary enrollees, a sudden increase of 79.91 % was posted
in the tertiary enrollment between SY 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 due to the opening of
Lyceum University in Barangay Manggahan. Having an enrollment of 7,567 in SY
2011-2012, the figure is higher by 37.58 percent compared to only 5,500 in SY 2010-
2011.
The increasing trend for both public and private elementary and secondary enrollment
may have been brought about by rapid population growth due to in-migration.
4.1.3 Educational Facilities and Manpower
Formal education is provided through a network of schools strategically located in the

Poblacion area and in the different barangays of the town. Table 30 gives a breakdown
of the number of educational institutions into public and private by level of education.
Table 30 Number of Public and Private Schools by Level, 2011

Tertiary 0 2 2
Vocational / Technical Schools 1 2 3
Day Care Center 55 0 55
Pre - School 25 57 82
Total 115 140 255
There is a total of 255 educational institutions according to the level of education it

offers. These include Day Care Centers which provide pre-school trainings. Of these,
140 are private institutions, while 115 are government operated. It is good to take note
of that school that offers both pre-elementary and elementary levels is counted as one
pre-elementary and one elementary school. Likewise, a school that offers both
elementary and secondary levels is counted as one elementary and one secondary
school.
The details on the type of schools by level of education and facilities present are

The estimates above clearly indicate the gap between the public and private schools in
terms of the number of classrooms and teachers available per level of education.
Deficiency is indicated in the number of classrooms among public schools, both at
secondary and elementary levels. Information gathered per school highlighted further
the need for additional facilities and teachers. For SY 2011-2012, almost all public
elementary and high schools fell below the standard ratio of one classroom-teacher per
35 students based on the DepEd target.
4.1.4 Non-Formal Education
There are year-round and seasonal practical training programs being implemented by
the MSWD which offer short courses on industrial (hi-speed) sewing machine operation,
massage therapy training, food processing and preservation, commercial baking,
fashion jewelry and handicraft-making and cosmetology and other technical trainings.
Alternative Learning System (ALS) and literacy programs are also being provided to
those who are unable to attend formal education. This is a six-month program consisting
of five modules (or strands) held at different identified schools throughout the
municipality. Modules, supplies and equipment used for this purpose are being
shouldered by the local government unit. A summary of the venue, enrollees and profile
of the beneficiaries of this program is presented in Table 34.

Special Education
In order to deal with the basic education of children with special needs, General Trias
has put up Special Education classes otherwise known as SPED (Special Education
Division of the Bureau of Elementary Education). Special school is a school catering for
students who have special educational needs due to severe learning difficulties,
physical disabilities or behavioural problems. It also provides individualized education,
addressing specific needs. This educational program addresses the student’s
individual difference and needs in order to realize his/her own potentials for
development and productivity, making them capable of self-expression of his/her
rights in the society.
At present, there is one public special school for this purpose in Manggahan Elementary
School with a total of 45 enrollees. On the other hand, a private special school in
Barangay 96th, the Aid of Angels Therapy and Learning Center, serves 20 children with
special needs.

4.1.6 Current and Future Needs

Determination of Existing Needs
57
Volume 3
The current teacher and classroom requirements for each level can be computed using
the standard classroom-teacher student ratio of 1:35 for elementary and 1:40 for
secondary, based on the DepEd targets for 2010. Table 35 illustrates that the
municipality is short of 351 classrooms and 266 teachers to accommodate the
present public enrollment for the primary level. Similarly, for the secondary level, the
municipality needs 17 teachers and 127 classrooms to accommodate the number of
enrollees.

Teacher and Classroom Requirements for the Planning Period

The projected requirements for classroom and teacher for the elementary
and
secondary level in public schools for the plan period 2012-2021 are indicated in Table
37. The estimates were computed based on the DepEd target ratio of 35 students per
teacher per classroom. In the next five years, additional 552 classrooms are needed
in the elementary level while 203 public classrooms for the secondary level are
required. As to the number of teachers, 652 elementary and 161 secondary teachers
in public schools are needed at the end of the plan period.

Projected Enrollment Participation Rate (EPR)

Enrollment participation rate is the proportion of the school going age population of
relevant age level who were enrolled. For SY 2011-2012 EPR was registered at
75.20 and 53.56 percent for elementary and secondary level, respectively. This
means that for every 100 children aged 6-12 years, 75 are enrolled. The remaining 25
do not go to school primarily due to poverty or/for other reasons. Table 38 shows the
projected enrollment participation ratio of both the elementary and secondary level in
public schools, within the next ten years.

Determination of Space Requirement
As to the adequacy of classrooms, there should be sufficient number of standard

classrooms to accommodate the school enrollment. As well as enough internal spaces
for other basic curricular and administrative needs of the school. A standard classroom
should provide at least 1.4 sq. meters of space per pupil. Incidentally, General
Trias does not meet the DepEd standard space requirement as reflected in Tables 39
to 41. Data reveal that there is an average shortage of around 146 classrooms for
District I and 192 classrooms for District II. The average total area required for
classrooms needed per student is referred in the presented tables. Of the 26 public
elementary schools, only 15.38 percent,
(4 schools) has more than adequate classrooms to accommodate the present
enrollees.
If the DepEd standard space requirements of 4 hectares (more than 12 classes) for
elementary is to be considered, the municipality will have difficulty in meeting the
above standards. Since no public schools for both elementary and secondary level meet
the DepEd standard.

4.2 Health and Sanitation
4.2.1 Health Resources
4.2.1.1 Health Status Indicators
The municipality’s Crude Birth Rate stood at

23.65 in 2010 exhibiting a 31.81 percent
reduction from a high 34.68 in 2007. Crude
Death Rate (CDR), in turn, has also gone down
to 2.38 in 2010 compared to the 2.68 registered
in 2009. These could have been brought by the
advances in contraceptive technologies that
have played a key role in allowing the reduction
in fertility. Just as death rates also fall with
improved health care and expansion of medical
facilities and public health service to control
various diseases.
The Infant Mortality Rate and Maternal Mortality Rate were recorded at 5.68 and
0.34 per 1,000 population in 2010, respectively. Meanwhile, there were no recorded
maternal deaths in the years 2006, 2007 and 2008 (refer to Table 43).

Mortality and Morbidity
The top leading causes of mortality in the last five years are Heart Disease, Lung
Diseases, Cancer and Accidents (refer to Table 44 and Figure 23). As to morbidity,
Acute Respiratory Infection has become its leading cause, as presented in Table 45. It
is noteworthy that in 2010, Hypertension still ranked as the second most common
cause of death in General Trias, as attributed by improper diet and unhealthy lifestyle.
It is also observed that there was a significant reduction in the incidence of diarrhea.
This is mainly due to the fact that the existing resources for health i.e. IEC on hygienic
practices and health-related concerns (e.g. provision of safe water) are being
optimized.

Infant Mortality
The Infant Mortality Rate has been more than doubled up from a low 2.45 in 2009 to
5.68 in 2010. This is mainly attributed to inadequate access to basic medical care,
during pregnancy and after delivery. Other major contributors to infant deaths are
malnutrition, infectious disease and problems with home environment. As reported b
the Municial Health Office, the leading cause of infant deaths in 2010 is Lung Disease
followed by Prematurity. Please refer to Tables 46 and 47.

Stations (BHS) located in different barangays. Common services offered by the BHS
are control of locally endemic diseases, immunization, nutrition program (feeding and
operation timbang), treatment of some diseases and provision of basic medications.
There is a total of 147 Barangay Health Workers in the municipality. Among the
barangays, San Francisco has the highest number of health workers employed, with a
total of 54 health workers for Pabahay 2000, San Francisco 1 and 2. Table 49 presents
their distribution throughout the municipality.

The summary of health facilities and manpower, along with their prescribed standards,
is presented in Table 52. The data compares the standard and actual ratios for public
health facilities and manpower. It is clear from the data that the town is sorely deficient
in the number of hospital beds, barangay health stations, dentists, midwives and rural
health physicians.

Strengths and Opportunities

Soon to cater to the emerging health needs of the residents are two (2) private medical
facilities to locate in Barangay Manggahan. The predominance of the private hospitals
and clinics may also give consumers a wide range of choice in the level and cost of
services provided. Said medical facilities are the following :
Gentri Medical Center and Hospital - a modern 100-bed hospital with a 50 million
initial capitalization. The establishment of a modern health care facility is a tedious and
detailed undertaking that requires multi-peso funding, with a dedicated management
group with specialized and compassionate medical staff. The project was initiated by
founders and managers of various tertiary hospital in Metro Manila and Southern
Tagalog area, with several years of experience in hospital and financial management.
Gentry Doctors Hospital - the medical center is located on a 3,500 square meter
property which is easily accessible along Governor’s Drive in the commercial area of
Metropolis Greens subdivision. It is composed of 7,000 square meters of floor space
and includes a seven-storey building which can fit up to 100 beds. Located within the
ground floor are diagnostic and emergency and intervention facilities, as well as support
and administrative offices.
The building complex is also equipped with fire safety features based on standards,
solid and waste water management facilities and environment-friendly features
incorporated into the design.
General Trias Emergency and Disaster Response Team
General Trias has organized a team, to serve the community in times of disaster,
accidents, mass evacuations, typhoons, earthquakes, and other emergency situations
that concern the life , health, and safety of the citizens and renders an on-call service
anytime of the day. Still under the supervision of the Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction
74
Volume 3
and Management Council, the emergency response team headed by the deputized
coordinator has 8 nurses, 2 midwives, 12 rescuers, and 2 ambulance drivers.
Aside from having medically inclined staffs, the team is equipped with trainings on
disaster management and risk reduction, fire fighting techniques, standard first aid and
basic life support from various organizations like National/Provincial Disaster
Coordinating Council, PAGASA and Philippine National Red Cross. These trainings
have prepared them well to respond to emergency situations. The team that is
intended to serve the community in times of disaster, accidents, mass evacuation,
typhoons, earthquakes and other emergency situations that concern the life, health and
safety of the community renders 24/7 service to the municipality.
In 2011, the council provided immediate response to 22 vehicular accident for rescue
and six (6) grass and house fires in assistance to the Bureau of Fire. The council also
transported and assisted 144 patrients to different hospitals. The nationwide
simultaneous earthquake drill and typhoon monitoring has also been performed by the
council.
Figure 24 presents the location of existing public and private hospitals, rural health
units, and barangay health stations in the municipality.

4.2.2 Nutritional Status

Operation Timbang is the weighing of pre-schoolers aged 0-71 months or children aged
0-6 years, done by the Barangay Nutrition Scholars. Nutritional status is determined by
comparing their actual weight against the standard weight of children based on their
age. Table 53 presents the comparative trend in nutritional status of children during the
last three years.

4.2.3 Sanitation
Other health programs vital to the general welfare of the municipality’s constituents are
those that safeguard environmental sanitation. One parameter of environmental health
that is being monitored regularly by municipal health authorities is the inventory of
barangays with toilet facilities, a rundown of which is shown in Table 54.
Data indicate that still, there are 137 households using only pit privy and 613
households who do not even have sanitary toilet facilities. The inventory below is a
manifestation not only of poor sanitation practices among the residents but of
widespread poverty. However, while it is true that households at the relocation sites are
generally poor, each housing unit is provided with a sanitary toilet.

Existing Facilities
The existing cemeteries and
memorial parks in General Trias is
presented in Table 55. The
Paradise Garden Memorial Park,
the largest in the municipality, is
located in Barangay Manggahan
with a total of 12.4117 hectares.
The second largest is found in
Barangay Pinagtipunan with 7.2784
hectares and followed by the one in
Pasong Kawayan II with 4.6063
hectares. The public cemeteries of
the town were already congested and most of those interred in the old public
cemeteries were transferred to the other memorial parks in the municipality.
Himlayang General Trias
This 4-hectare property offers

affordable and presentable facilities at
par with privately-owned memorial
parks. This new public cemetery aims
to address the growing needs of the
constituents and is expected to solve
the problem of congestion in the three
(3) existing public cemeteries of the
town. The Himlayang General Trias has the following features :
 affordable memorial lot types (Mausoleum, Niche, Lawn, Apartment-Type)

 chapel for religious/necrological services
 well paved and well-lit roads
 perimeter fence and guard house
 well maintained comfort rooms and drainage system
The memorial park is another proof of the local government’s continuous effort to
provide better service to the people.

4.2.5 Solid Waste and Waste Water Facilities

Solid Waste Collection and Disposal
At present the MENRO is in-charge of the daily collection of garbage servicing the 33
barangays in the municipality. From the household, a minimum of two times a week
collection is implemented and in populated areas, three times a week collection is done.
Mixed waste is collected from the households by our garbage trucks and directly
dumped in our 1.5 hectare Municipal Controlled Dumpsite in Brgy. Tapia. The operation
of this dumpsite started during the last quarter of 2000. It is 1.5 kilometer from the
barangay proper and about 3.93 kms from the Poblacion.
With the current practice, only the garbage collectors and scavengers practice
segregation and earn from the sales of their recyclables. By the first quarter of 2012
hopefully the Eco-Park will be establish which will also house the Centralized Materials
Recovery Facility that will service the 33 barangays in the municipality. According to
2010 data, the 243,322 populace of General Trias generates an estimated value of
121.66 tons of garbage per day, 3.95 percent of which comes from Poblacion and the
remaining from outside the other barangays, as shown in Table 56.

As per 2010 data, the collection equipment used are 16 units of elf trucks, two (2) units
dump trucks and one unit forward truck. Their total garbage capacity amounts to 134
cubic meters or 44,095.93 kilograms. Table 57 presents the type of collection
equipment and their garbage capacities.

A total of 237 personnel are responsible for integrating and co-ordinating solid waste
management activities. Of the 237 personnel, there are 10 MENRO staff, 20 Linis
Bayan drivers, 72 garbage collectors, 15 market sweepers, 6 eco-aides and 114 street
sweepers. Please refer to Table 58.

Due to rapid urbanization and industrialization, quite a number of environmental

concerns mushroomed in the Municipality such as the proliferation of illegal settlers,
illegal dumping of domestic waste (liquid and solid) along river easements and air and
noise pollution from the increasing number of industries.
4.2.6 Current and Future Needs
80
Volume 3
4.2.6.1 Current Health Manpower Requirement
Based on the compared standards and actual ratios for public health personnel, the
town has deficiencies in both manpower and medical facilities. The current number of
public doctors, dentists, midwives and hospital beds appear to be inadequate when
compared to population-based standard ratios. Based on the standard ratio of I public
physician per 20,000 population, 1 midwife per 5,000 population and I dentist per
50,000 population, the municipality has a deficit of 7 doctors, 27 midwives and 2
dentists, respectively. On the other hand, the current 36 nurses seem to be adequate
to serve the constituents. Table 59 presents the municipality’s current and future needs
for public health personnel and facilities.
Health Personnel and Facilities Determination
In order to respond to the rising needs of the citizenry for an expanded health care
services, the required health personnel and medical facilities on the plan period should
be met. These requirements are based on existing and projected population. From the
computed data, a projected requirement of 15 public doctors is needed by year 2021.
As for RHU midwives, 97 is perceived as a requirement. At the end of the plan period,
the municipality will need more than 115 barangay health centers to accommodate the
increasing population, (Table 60). Likewise, 288 hospital beds are needed to
accommodate the average number of patients to be admitted in the next ten years.
Then again, the existing number of nurses has already surpassed the standard
because as of this time we have already a nurse-population ratio of 1:7,000 which is
way above the standards.

4.2.6.2 Area Requirement for Burial Grounds
Table 61 indicates that with the crude death rate of 2.38 and a population of 243,322 for
2010, the projected number of death is 579. These figures imply that the town needs
an estimated area of 2,416 square meters as the current area requirement for burial
grounds.

Volume 3
Table 62 describes the projected number of deaths and the required area for burial
grounds in the coming years. Having a participation rate of 171.04 percent for 2010,
2,846 square meters is estimated as the projected area requirement for burial
grounds by 2012. This is estimated to increase to 3,940 square meters for a projected
death of 944 by year 2016. Based from these estimates, the municipality will need more
than 5,926 square meters of cemetery land to accommodate burials in the next ten
years. With the operation of Himlayang General Trias, it is believed that it would be
able to resolve and address this area requirement for burial grounds in the years to
come.

Projected Solid Waste Generation
Using the waste density of 330 kg. per cubic meter utilized by the DENR, the assumed
solid waste generation per capita of 0.5 kg/person/day and a population of 243,322 for
base year 2010, the estimated quantity of waste generated is 121,661 kilograms daily
equivalent to a waste volume of 368.67 cubic meter per day. This is estimated to
increase to 554.16 cu.m. by year 2015 and 903.73 cu.m. of waste volume at the end of
the plan period. It is necessary that the municipality provides additional spaces to
accommodate this huge volume of wastes in the years to come. Refer to Table 63.

Area Requirements For Dumpsite/Sanitary Landfill

83
Volume 3
Table 64 details the area requirement for the town’s dumpsite and/or landfill in the
coming ten years. The estimated area required for dumpsite is based on the one-
hectare wide of dumping ground that will serve as catchment for a population of
30,000. General Trias will require a dumpsite of almost 13 hectares in the next five
years and is estimated to increase to almost 20 hectares by year 2021.
Alternatively, if putting up of a sanitary landfill is to be taken into account, the current
area required is 1.34 hectares covering a target life of up to ten years. Given the
necessity of the required area to be increased by around 50 percent, i.e. to allow for
daily cover, roads, receiving areas, fencing, etc. the total land area requirement will be
2.01 hectares for the current needs. Having a projected population of 596,463 by 2021,
it is recommended that the town should acquire vast tract of lands amounting to almost
35.14 hectares as a required landfill area to be able to accommodate the mounting
waste generation by the end of the planning period. Refer to Table 65.

4.3 Housing and Resettlement
4.3.1 Housing Characteristics
As per 2010 Census of Population

and Housing, a total of 59,920
households and 242,917 persons
resided in 58,889 occupied housing
units. These gave a ratio of 4.12
persons per occupied housing unit.
While the ratio of households to
occupied housing units stood at 1:
1.02 – meaning, there was an
estimated deficit of 2 housing units for
every 100 households. This ratio suggested that there was a considerable existence
of doubled-up households in the town. Refer to Table 67.

Based on the 2010 Census of Population and Housing, there were

82,131 housing
units in the municipality. Of these, 46.43 percent were single houses,
12.15 percent
were duplex-type, and 41.21 percent were multi-unit residential.
Other housing units
were either commercial/industrial/agricultural (0.16 percent), institutional
living quarter
(0.005 percent), or other housing units (0.004 percent) being used
for dwelling, as
shown in Table 68.

In terms of tenurial status, Table 69 shows that 64.70 % of the households either own
or are amortizing their housing units, 22.49% are renting, whereas 11.93% are
occupying the lot rent-free with the owner’s consent. Other households occupied for free
without consent of the owner (0.49 %). The remaining 0.39 % were unclassified.

As to the condition of housing units, majority of the housing units were built of strong
materials for roofing (95.12%). Roofs made of half galvanized iron and half concrete
comprised 2.23 % of the total housing units. For outer walls, about 72,422 housing units
were made of concrete/brick/stone. Housing units with half concrete/brick/stone and
half wood for outer walls followed with 4,294 units. As to the combination of materials
for roofs and outer walls, most housing units (70,773 units) were made of galvanized
iron/aluminum for the roofs and concrete/ brick/ stone for the outer walls. Almost 498
housing units were made up of sub-standard and salvaged materials. This adds to
housing program’s concern of upgrading housing conditions in addition to the provision
of opportunities for house ownership. Refer to Table 70.

4.3.2 Formal Housing
Socialized Housing
Responding to these housing needs,

many private developers have put up
several economic and socialized housing
projects throughout the Municipality.
Many of these were built as part of the 20
percent total subdivision area
appropriation under the National Shelter
Program’s “balanced housing strategy”.
These housing programs provide the
lower-income market segment quality yet
affordable homes through easy and
affordable financing schemes. Table 71 shows the latest list of socialized housing
projects with their corresponding number of units and gross land area in hectares.

Resettlement Sites
There are currently 14 relocation/resettlement projects in General Trias. These projects

were intended for the displaced residents from Metro South, Parklane Country Homes
Subdivision, Eagle Ridge Golf and Country Club and Ara Vista Subdivision. The
displaced squatter families from Boulevard 2000 (Freedom Islands) in Pasay City were
the target beneficiaries of the Pabahay 2000 Project. Likewise, squatter families from
Pasig River and other parts of Metro Manila were relocated in Sunny Brooke, Country
Meadows and Belvedere Towne III. Table 72 shows a list of the relocation projects in
General Trias with their corresponding number of housing units.

It has been observed that the major target clients of both the socialized housing and
resettlement projects were residents from Metro Manila and factory workers in Cavite.
Thus, very few residents of General Trias have benefited from these projects. There
are a number of low-cost housing projects in General Trias, and most of the housing
units are still unoccupied. One best example with apparently very low occupancy rate is
the Mistral Plains.
Open Housing
At the other end of the line are 46 high-end residential subdivisions catering to the
upper income bracket households in General Trias, the total area coverage of which is
estimated at 1,148.752991 hectares. These housing projects make it possible for its
target market to enjoy the security, amenities and facilities of exclusive subdivision
living. Refer to Table 73.

4.3.4. Shelter Needs Assessment
105
Volume 3
Housing is one of the most expressed needs and aspirations of the people, especially
the urban poor and those belonging to the low-income group. The rapid natural growth
of population aggravated by the influx of migrants and the spread of squatters in major
towns has caused the rapid increase in housing requirements. Such problem of rapidly
growing housing needs has become one of the biggest concerns that local governments
need to address.
Current Housing Demand
In 2000, the town’s housing backlog is recorded at 821 units. This backlog is further
aggravated by 173 unacceptable units and 247 makeshift/salvaged housing units. In
addition, there were 522 units that need to be upgraded. In general, there is a total of
1,343 current housing needs that has to be addressed. The computations were based
on the UN Shelter Method which was developed in the projection of apparent housing
demand or housing need. Refer to Table 77.
Future Housing Needs
The total shelter needs of all income groups in the concerned municipality is very vital
to ensure allocation of land and services even to the lowest income groups. Apparently,
the number of housing units that will be required for the future depends largely on the
projected size of the population increase and the formation of new households. Besides,
upgrading needs i.e. units with inadequate security of tenure on the housing units and
the land they occupy can also be considered. Due to high population growth rate, it is
supposed that the housing demand shall remain high for the next ten years. The table
below shows the summary of shelter needs of the municipality in the coming ten years.

Space/Area Requirements for Future Density
106
Volume 3
Although RA 7279 mandates the LGU to inventory and identify lands specifically for
socialized housing, sufficient quantities of land should be identified for all income groups
not only for the present needs but also for all land needs within the planning period. The
total land area required has to be determined in order to match this with available and
suitable lands for housing that is affordable to the target income groups.
Estimation of residential space requirements may be computed using density expressed

as persons per hectare of residential area. This density is then converted into household
density in order to determine the average lot size per household. From the result of the
computed density, future housing character/density of the planning area may be
determined. If the generated housing needs are converted into land needs, the
corresponding estimated land area needs for residential purposes in the municipality
for the planning period is presented in Table 78.

4.4 Sports and Recreation
4.4.1 Sports Development
Sports and leisure activities form an integral part of social life in all communities. It
does not only serve as a vital element to health and well-being of young people and
adult, it also creates a venue for harmonious and peaceful relationship among and
between individuals which can contribute greatly in community building.
The General Trias Sports Federation continues to discover and develop skills, talents,
strengths and competitiveness of Gentriseño youths through various support programs.
Under the flagship program Galing Gentri… Galing Gentri, the municipality sponsored
various activities beneficial not only to General Trias youth and sports enthusiasts but
the whole community as well. Uniforms, meals, trainings and other logistical expenses
are being sponsored by the local government.
Indeed, General Trias is home of the champions. Because of the local government’s
active support to sports development programs, the municipality produced quality,
competitive and first class athletes who represent the town in provincial and national
tournaments with pride and honor. In return of the favor, General Trias athletes
continue reaping awards and bringing honor to the town.
4.4.2. Sports and Recreational Facilities
General Trias offers a variety of

sports, recreational facilities and
a cultural center. Among the
town’s sports and recreational
facilities are :
The Town Plaza, completed in

December 2002, is located in
front of the Municipal Hall. With
its 4,228.05 sq.m. area, it has
fountains and park benches and
serves as a town park. The
display of lights and music at
night is an added attraction to the place.
The General Trias Park located in Gov. Ferrer is also one of the parks where the
General Mariano Trias
monument is located. Sad to
say, there are only limited
public playgrounds that will
serve the recreational needs of
the young.One of these is the
newlyrenovated Gen. Trias
Sports Center which was
inaugurated on June 2, 2006.
The renovation of the sports
center affirmed the local
government’s commitment to
further the development of sports and recreation for the benefit of Gentriseños. The
sports center has the following features: electronic scoreboard, digital shot clock, fiber
glass board, wood flooring, built in sound system, 600 seating capacity with 2 dug-outs
and ample parking space. It is conducive for playing basketball, volleyball and
badminton.

Volume 3
Municipal SportsPark - The

Municipal Sports Park bespeaks of
Intel’s lifelong commitment to
helping their community. A gift
born out of Intel volunteers’
hardwork, time and volunteer
spirit, the MunicipalSportsPark is a
4-hectare property that will house
the world class track oval, run
ups, fields for various outdoor
sports and buildings for various
athletic competitions. The
construction of the sports park was made possible through the collaboration of Intel
Foundation through the Intel involved Matching Grant Program, the local government
unit and the General Trias Department of Education. It aims to provide a formal venue
where General Trias young people can enhance their sports skills and later train
quality, globally competitive athletes who will represent the town in different national and
international sports competition.
General Trias Multipurpose

Convention/Cultural Center -
This provides the town and
Gentriseños a venue for
recreation, entertainment,
cultural shows and gatherings
of local magnitude. This facility
can also be utilized for
conducting graduation rites,
training, meeting, conventions
and seminars.
Basketball remains to be the most popular form of sports with around 83 basketball
courts distributed among the different barangays. Some barangays are provided by
the local government unit with at least one basketball court to support sports
development in the municipality. Of the total basketball courts, 36 percent are public
and 64 percent are privately constructed. Eight (8) of these are within the premises of
various schools.
There are also gymnasium designed for physical fitness located in different barangays,
three (3) of which are located in the Poblacion. Other sports and recreational needs are
filled up by nine (9) privately-operated swimming pools, three (3) badminton courts
located in Bacao, Tejero and Corregidor and a tennis court within the Poblacion area.
Billiard halls designed for amusement and diversion, especially among the male
population, are also found within the municipality. Tables 80 and 81 present the
inventories of public and private sports and recreational facilities along with the current
condition of facilities.

113
Volume 3
As per HLURB guidelines, there should be 500 square meters required space for public
parks and 500 square meters requirement for playgrounds per 1,000 population. By
year 2021, the municipality should have 59.64 hectares of land for recreational
purposes. With the mandatory allocations of parks and open spaces in new
subdivisions and housing projects, the existing parks and open spaces are adequate
for the future population. Based on the existing land use map, the municipality has
more than enough area for parks, playgrounds and open spaces, with a total of
156.65 hectares which cater to the recreational needs of the residents.
Although the municipality has adequate sports and recreational facilities, open spaces
for sports and recreational facilities in new subdivisions should be provided and
equitably allotted, and likewise be maintained by the owners/developers themselves,
for the establishment of more parks and playgrounds.
The location of the above cited sports and recreational facilities is presented in Figure

4.5 Public Safety and Protective Services
Peace, order and safety are essential

conditions to maintain the quality of life for
communities and individuals. The spread
of urban lifestyle, the expansion of the
urban center as well as major
development projects, create social and
economic forces resulting to changes in
normal human interactions and pace of life
in general. The local police and fire
fighting forces are tasked to maintain a
safe and crime-free system of living in the
locality.
The police force’s main responsibility is peace management, which includes both
prevention and solution of crimes. The fire control and prevention unit is, on the other
hand, mainly tasked to protect lives and properties through fire fighting operations.
4.5.1 Crime and Fire Incidences
The status of peace and order as well as the role effectiveness of the police force in the
municipality can be gleaned from crime statistics presented below. Crimes are
categorized into index and non-index. Index crimes includes murder, rape, theft,
robbery, physical injury and homicide among others. All the above-mentioned are
considered heinous. On the other hand, non-index crimes include gambling, use of
illegal drugs and illegal possession of firearms.
Table 83 shows the frequency of index and non-index crimes as well as the number of
crimes solved for the years 2008, 2009 and 2010. Data reveals that the volume of
crimes was on an increasing trend. While the crime rate showed an unvarying
increasing pattern, efficiency of crime solution was on a steady decline from 2008-
2010.

Enforcement of peace and order in

General Trias is a coordinated effort
among the local government law
enforcement agencies. However, as
reflected on Table 85, the number of
police and firefighting forces appear to
be inadequate when compared to
population-based standard ratios.
The actual ratio for police (1:2,932)
and firefighting (1:24,332) were
respectively almost three and twelve
times higher than their prescribed
ratio.

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management/Climate Change Adaptation
General Trias Emergency and Disaster Response Team

General Trias has organized a team, to serve the community in times of disaster,
accidents, mass evacuations, thypoons, earthquakes, and other emergency situations
that concern the life, health, and safety of the citizens and renders an on-call service
anytime of the day. Still under the supervision of the Municipal Disaster Risk
Reduction and Management Council, the emergency response team headed by the
deputized coordinator has 8 nurses, 2 midwives, 12 rescuers, and 2 ambulance drivers.
Aside from having medically inclined staffs, the team is equipped with trainings on
disaster management and risk reduction, fire fighting techniques, standard first aid and
basic life support from various organizations like National/Provincial Disaster
Coordinating Council, PAGASA and Philippine National Red Cross. These trainings
have prepared them well to response to emergency situations as quickly as possible.
In 2011, the council provided immediate response to 22 vehicular accidents for rescue
and six (6) grass and house fires in assistance to the Bureau of Fire. The council also
transported and assisted 144 patrients to different hospitals. The nationwide
simultaneous Earthquake Drill and typhoon monitoring has also been performed by the
council.
The present environmental threats and climate change is raising concerns among local
government units. It is in the threatening conditions that LGU must play a major role in
implementing measures and finding solutions at all levels on climate change mitigation
and adaptation to manage disasters and create a safer environment. Environmental
120
Volume 3
risks exist if the area is exposed to certain level of danger such as effects of natural
phenomena like earthquakes, landslides, hurricanes, volcanoes, tsunami and flooding,
mainly because of its location, topography and physical features.
General Trias like any other towns and provinces, is also vulnerable to natural disasters
and ecological risks, having identified five (5) natural hazards vulnerabilities. These
hazards have the potential of becoming disasters that can adversely affect the people,
property, environment and vital infrastructures. Different parts of the municipality are
exposed to susceptibility ranging from none to high depending on the type of geo-
hazard and its location.
Vulnerability to Natural hazards
 Flood hazard
General Trias’ land formation is mainly categorized as terraces with residual soils and
broad alluvial plains described as unstable flood plains susceptible to occasional
flooding caused by river overflow during monsoon months. Like any other neighbouring
municipalities, it is frequently visited by typhoons particularly during rainy seasons.
There were no recorded flash floods in the municipality except during typhoon “Milenyo”
in September 2006, where portion of Butas dam collapsed that caused flood and river
overflow in the Poblacion and adjoining barangays resulting in 26 deaths, cases of
injuries, disruptions, damages to properties as well as with public infrastructures.
Presently, the flooding problems that occur in the advent of typhoons and prolonged
rainfall in lowland barangays, are mainly due to inadequate drainage system, clogging
of drainage channels due to solid wastes and the water volume coming from the
upland barangays causing river and creek overflow. Barangays Pasong Camachile I,
Tapia, Pinagtipunan, Navarro, Bacao I, Bacao II, San Juan I, San Juan II, Tejero and
Poblacion are susceptible to flooding.
 Ground Shaking Hazard
The municipality, like most parts of Cavite Province, is a volcanic region underlain by
volcanic ejecta deposits that are characteristically water laid. Along with the rest of
Cavite, it is part of the Southwest Luzon’s seismic structure. However, General Trias is
considered less susceptible to seismic structure than the other parts of Cavite because
of its underlain soil structure of consolidated alluvial materials. Considering its location
and distance to fault lines, General Trias is also considered as susceptible to PEIS
intensity VIII and above ground shaking since part of the West Valley Fault, subsidiary
of the Philippine Fault Zone, traverses along the municipalities of Carmona and Silang,
which is considered as destructive, based on Ground Shaking Hazard Map prepared by
PHIVOLCS-DOST.
 Rain Induced Landslide
The municipality is not susceptible to rain induced landslide in barangays with slope of
level to gently sloping. Moderately susceptibility is located in the south western portion
in Barangays Pasong Kawayan II, Buenavista I and II, Manggahan, Biclatan and
Javalera.
 Earthquake Induced Landslide
General Trias is considered not susceptible to earthquake induced landslide except for
small portion of areas near the waterways of Barangays Manggahan, Buenavista III,
San Francisco, Panungyanan and Alingaro.
 Liquefaction Hazard
121
Volume 3
The hazard of liquefaction is being considered only in the northern portion of General
Trias starting from low susceptible areas covering portions of Barangays Tapia, Pasong
Camachile I and the whole part of San Juan I, Poblacion and Navarro. Meanwhile,
Barangays moderately susceptible to liquefaction are Barangays Bacao I and II, Tejero
and San Juan II where water table is shallow between 3 to 10 meters and soil type is
sandy.
Disaster Prevention and Preparedness
The susceptibility to the extreme weather conditions that triggers frequent occurrence of
natural calamities and disasters, due to presence of natural hazards causes a remarkable
risks in terms of property damage, loss of life, injury, disruptions, loss of employment
opportunities and destruction of vital infrastructures. The more frequent occurrence of
floods, earthquakes and landslides are reminding us that now is the right time to act. In
order to create a safer and more sustainable environment, there is a need for the local
government to take steps to solve this global problems, work together to mitigate the
effects of hazards occurring in the future, and at the same time assume moral
responsibility to take actions on behalf of future generations.
In pursuing actions related to climate change and disaster risk management, the following
activities should be considered:
 Intensify information, education and advocacy campaigns on global warming and

climate change to improve the people’s understanding on these kind of phenomena.
These include strengthening community preparedness for disaster, having to be
prepared to protect themselves and the environment.
 Municipal Development Plan wherein the Climate Change Adaptation and Disaster
Risk Reduction shall be mainstreamed to local development policies and planning
which will lead to formulating mitigating measures and doable programs and
projects.
 Solid Waste Management Program
 Reforestation
 REDAS Project (Hazard mapping and IEC)
 Formulation of Disaster Preparedness and Mitigation Plan
 Strengthening the Municipal/Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Management
Council
 Training for MDCC Team/Task Force/Disaster Team to improve response in
calamities
 Regular fire and earthquake drills to improve response in earthquake and fire
occurrence
 Promote research and technology development for flood and earthquake impact
reduction measures
 Disaster prevention by adopting mitigating measures like good evacuation plans,
strengthening building and structures including power and water facilities, reviewing
the engineering designs of buildings and roads to determine if they are resilient to
disasters, environmental planning and design standards.
 Disaster preparedness like removing people and properties from a threatened
location, facilitating timely and effective rescue, relief, rehabilitation, providing food
and water and providing temporary shelter and emergency health care.
 Identify resources that need to be functioning during and in the aftermath of man-
made and natural disasters and calamities like hospitals, disaster management
centers, roads, broadcast media, fire and ambulance stations and
telecommunication facilities
 Disaster recovery and rehabilitation plan that includes rebuilding infrastructure,
health care and rehabilitation, restoration of shelter, livelihood and employment
122
Volume 3
among the disaster victims, as well as developing policies and practices to avoid
similar situations in the future.
4.5.4 Current Needs and Future Force Requirement

Based on the personnel inventory presented, the sizes of both the police force and fire
protection staff are inadequate. The current police force of 58 policemen and 10 firemen
which translates to the policemen to population ratio of around 1:2,932; the fireman to
population, 24,332 are way below the minimum national standards. Derived from the
nationally accepted minimum policemen-population ratio of 1 policeman for every 1000
population and 1 fireman for every 2,000 population, the town has a current shortage of
160 policemen and 112 firemen.

based services to pre-delinquent youths.
Family and Community Program
Among the services offered by the municipality under this program are maternal and
child care training, marriage counseling, responsible parenthood service and special
services to solo parents. The solo parents are also given special support by the local
government. A total of 246 identified solo parents availed of the ID and is now enjoying
the rights and benefits of a single parent as mandated by law.
4.6.3 Current and Future Requirement for Social Welfare Services

While there are almost adequate number of Day Care Centers to cater to pre-school
children in General Trias, special groups particularly the youth, elderly women and other
individuals with special needs should likewise be provided with the same kind of facilities
where they can socialize, get initial rehabilitative services and be provided with relevant
skills to make them productive. Livelihood Skills Training Program should be promoted
to enhance the livelihood skills of residents.
The existing social welfare facilities (Day Care Centers and Training/Productivity Center)
should be expanded and manpower should be increased to meet the needs of the
growing population, using the nationally acceptable standard ratios (manpower and
137
Volume 3
facilities to population level). By 2021 , the municipality needs to construct 73 Day Care
Centers preferably in low-cost housing areas to meet the required standards of one (1)
Day Care Center for every 500 households. Table 95 shows the projected number of
Day Care Centers needed for the projected number of households by the end of the
planning period.
Moreover, establishment and upgrading of social welfare facilities should be given

prority and these may include but not limited to the following :
a. Construction of Socialization Center for Senior Citizens

b. Establishment of Holding Center and Drop-In Center for youth offenders
c. Establishment of Youth Center in strategic barangays
d. Construction of Community-based Rehabilitation Center for the initial assessment of
persons with disabilities .

5.0 ECONOMIC SECTOR
5.1 Agriculture
It is also the thrust of the local government to maintain a balance economy between the
urban growth and the town’s agricultural sector. Since agricultural land use still
characterize the greater part of General Trias, the administration embarked on
agricultural development program focusing on the dissemination of modern production
and management technologies, animal dispersal, capital assistance, improvement of
rural infrastructure and strengthening of rural organizations.
One of the milestones in agricultural development in General Trias is the construction of

the multi-million Dairy Processing Center in Barangay Santiago. The center is furnished
with the state of the art medium-scale equipment capable of processing 500 liters of raw
milk per batch which can accommodate the increasing carabao’s milk production and
collection of the town. From seven dairy products in 2005, now it processes 21 dairy
products and flavor-variants to include fresh milk, flavoured milk, white cheese, pastillas,
yogurt, mik-o-gel, ice candy and yema. From General Trias Dairy Fresh Products to
what is popularly known today as Gentri’s Best.
5.1.1 Agricultural Production
General Trias has a total land area of

8,890 hectares where 4,131.25 hectares
or 46.47 percent is devoted to agriculture.
This agricultural harea is comprised by
areas cultivated to major and minor crops,
agro-industrial and lands devoted to fish
production. Data gathered from the
Municipal Agriculture Office show that as
of 2010, the agricultural land of the
municipality devoted to crop production
total 3,674.78 hectares or approximately
41.34 percent of the total land area.
Rice farming is the predominant farming system followed by fruit trees farming and
vegetable farming comprising 3,206.63, 138.83 and 113.53 hectares of the land area,
respectively. Majority or about 36.07 percent of the town’s land is devoted to rice
production. Only about 35.46 percent or 3,152.48 hectares of these are irrigated.
High-yielding plants seedlings like certified palay seeds are produced by local
accredited seed growers. These are not genetically modified, which can affect human
and soil health as well as ecosystem functioning. As shown in Table 97, the total
value of production for major crops in General Trias reached a total of P 275 million for
2010 alone. Rice farming contributes the highest amount of production with a total of
more than Php 175 million. Total annual production for rice is estimated to be
14,464.50 metric tons for irrigated lands and 108.30 metric tons for rain fed lands.

5.1.1.1 Crop Production and Land Utilization
Areas utilized for rice production has

decreased slightly by 0.83 percent from
2008 to 2009. Also, a marginal decrease of
about 5.71% was observed from 2009 to
2010. Production volume has also
decreased by 5.61 percent from 2009 to
2010 mainly due to the conversion of prime
agricultural lands to non-agricultural
purposes. Refer to Table 98.

5.1.2 Support Systems
5.1.2.1. Support Facilities

The Municipal Agriculture Office (MAO) is
continuously performing its routinary farm
and home visits to ensure that the
welfare of the farmers and their products are
well monitored and managed. It has
established and maintained Municipal
Nursery and Demo Farm to promote the
production of high value crops. Moreover,
various seminars on farming technologies
are conducted to educate farmers
and
enhance their ability and product’s quality.
Besides, the MAO renders various technical
and support services to farmers. It has
provided financial assistance thru Plant Now
Pay Later Program without interest and
usually tapped the national agencies for all
banner agricultural programs and project
subsidies such as seeds, planting materials,
biologics, etc.
There are also 25 registered cooperatives and two agri-extension service offices in the
municipality. There is also a Multi-Purpose Cooperative having two outdoor storage
facilities and 5 rice mills with drying pavements.
All farm-to-market roads are all passable. As to water source, the agricultural lands are
provided through different irrigation systems, under the Cavite Friar Lands Irrigation
System (CFLIS) being managed by the National Irrigation Administation (NIA). While
the irrigation facilities seem adequate and majority of these are functioning, it was
observed however, that there are areas where the supply of irrigation water is
insufficient. The Takio Dam will be preserved and maintained for irrigation purposes,
and will serve as habitat for endangered species like ulang and tulya.
Table 103 shows the agricultural support facilities that are present in the municipality.

trade as well as provide accessible economic facilities to the residents. The
Bagsakan
Center shall serve as a venue for the wholesale and retail of General Trias’
agricultural products. The earmarked site is at Barangay Santiago.
5.1.2.3 Areas Covered by National/Local Policies

A. Network of Protected Areas for Agricultural and Agro-Industrial Areas for
Development (NPAAAD)
● NPAAAD - indicates the most productive agricultural lands covering

1,149.752 hectares, located in the following barangays: Tejero, Bacao I and II,
Dulongbayan, San Juan I, Pinagtipunan, Tapia, Sta. Clara, Pasong Camachile I,
Pasong Kawayan II, Santiago, San Francisco, Buenavista I, II and III, Biclatan,
Javalera, Panungyanan and Alingaro.
B. Strategic Agriculture and Fishery Development Zones (SAFDZs)
● SAFDZs - refer to areas identified for production, agro-processing and

marketing activities designated as key production areas, covering 749.847
hectares. These areas should be protected from conversion because they
have the potential to contribute in attaining food self-sufficiency. These are
located in the following barangays: Tejero, San Juan I and II, Sampalucan,
Pasong Camachile I and II, Pasong Kawayan I and II, Santiago, Buenavista I
and San Francisco.
C. Protected Areas
● Steep slope of river along easement of 3.0 meter on both sides of the river
bank
● All watershed areas serving as small farm reservoir with existing dams
protected by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA). These dams are
as follows: Takio Dam in Biclatan; Vargas Dam in Manggahan; Butas and
Marcelo Dam in San Francisco; Pulcena Dam in Tapia and Prinza Dam in
Poblacion. The protection of trees and other plants along the easement of the
river shall be a joint responsibility of the MENRO and NIA.
D. CARPable Areas/Lands
Identification and development of Agrarian Reform Community (ARC) is a
strategy adopted by DAR to create an impact on the lives of farmer beneficiaries
and to the community through the implementation of the Comprehensive
Agrarian Reform Program (CARP). Buenavista/Pasong Kawayan II ARC had
been launched in 1994 as an Agrarian Reform Community. It has a total land
area of 1,340 hectares, of which 1,042 is agricultural land. The total CARP
working scope is 361 hectares with 317 hectares accomplished and distributed
to 303 farmer beneficiaries. At present, there are only 165 farmer beneficiaries
who are maintaining and cultivating the awarded land and farmlots with an area
of 98.5 hectares.
147
Volume 3
The total CARP balance is 44 hectares which belong to problematic

landholding, to be distributed to 30 potential CARP beneficiaries. It lacks
technical description that hinder the distribution process. There are 210
Agrarian Reform beneficiaries who received their respective EPs and CLOAs. At
present, the agricultural workers in this community consists of 165 EP and CLOA
holders and 45 leaseholders. Table 104 presents the scope of the
Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Program (CARP) and Operation Land Transfer
(OLT) coverage in General Trias.
As part of DAR’s institutional building, a cooperative named Buenavista ARB
Multi Purpose Cooperative was established having a total asset of PhP
565,360.98. The cooperative is engaged in providing credit to its members as
well as in renting out solar dryers and power tillers. However, the selling of
farmlots by farmer beneficiaries and conversion of agricultural to other uses by
buyers and developers resulted to non-operational and to dissolve status of this
assisted organization in the ARC.
The organized Buenavista Irrigators Association is an area based organization
wherein majority of members are farmer beneficiaries using and maintaining
irrigation in the ARC. It can be tapped to become new assisted organization
since the association is operating as an umbrella organization of Buenavista
ARB MPC, but at present due to selling of land, the ratio of ARB member to total
membership of Buenavista ARB MPC is no longer qualified to be an assisted
organization based on operational guideline set by DAR. In spite of this,
rehabilitation of the Buenavista ARB MPC in accordance with new cooperative
code is another option that DAR is working out at present.
In addition, the concreting of 3.9 kilometers Ipilan-Gaerlan farm-to-market road
that cost 11.9 million pesos was implemented under the DAR’s Agrarian Reform
Infrastructure Support Project II. The project resulted to improved production and
higher income of farmer beneficiaries.

Status of CARP
Data from Municipal Agrarian Reform Office revealed that there are a total of 170.2759
hectares of CARPable in General Trias. From a working scope of 1,081 hectares, the
cumulative accomplishment as of December 2011 amounts to 811 hectares which
accounts for 75 percent of the total area.
The area yet to be awarded is 170 hectares of agricultural lands with Notice of
Acquisition already issued or voluntary offered for coverage, 166 of which is considered
148
Volume 3
problematic for reasons such as petition for exemption, application for

conversion/retention and court litigation. The remaining 4 hectares are under workable
category because of on-going documentation of these areas.
DAR report on conversion shows that since 1992 up to 2011, a total of 996.584
hectares of agricultural lands have been approved for conversion for non-agricultural
uses with an exemption of 825.1614 hectares. Table 105 and Figure 30 show the
agrarian related concerns of the municipality of General Trias.
Still there are barangays with presence of ARBs such as Barangays Pasong
Camachile, Pasong Kawayan II, Pasong Kawayan I, Buenavista, Santiago,
Panungyanan, Bacao, Alingaro, Navarro, Poblacion and San Francisco. When the time
comes that the proposed plan will be implemented, the right of farmer beneficiaries in
different barangays must be ensured and respected by way of providing the required
support services and other factors needed to ensure the upliftment of the lives of the
farmer beneficiaries.

5.1.3 Demand Projection for Agricultural Products
The demand projection for selected agricultural products is needed to determine the
need for agricultural products of the current and future population. The capacity of
projected agricultural products and the volume of agricultural products consumed for
human nutrition or actual demand should be considered to meet future demands.
Table 106 shows that the municipality will need more production on crops to meet the
demands on food requirements for the next ten years.

5.2 Commerce and Trade

Economic Development
The municipality continues to improve and provide convenient and efficient service to its
taxpayers by setting up a “One-Stop-Shop”. Dubbed as “Gentri Fastrack Service, Your
Friendly One-Stop-Shop for Business Permit Processing”, this service provides a
common area for clients who would like to apply for a business permit. Through this, the
clients were able to enjoy the convenience of transacting their business in one place.
With these innovative and business friendly approaches, the local government
continues to attract new major investments and small and medium enterprises continue
to grow in number. Along these lines, General Trias has transformed into a preferred
business hub in the Province of Cavite, emerging as a business friendly haven.
Moreover, non-tax incentives in the form of awards and citations were given to top 10
tax-payers in honor of their patriotism in paying the correct amount of taxes. Started in
2005, the municipality has continuously recognized the private sector’s contribution to
the development of the town.
5.2.1 Types of Establishments

5.2.1.2 Shopping/Food Establishments
Gentriseħos will soon look into the rise of Robinson’s Mall, as Robinson’s Land
Corporation has expressed interest to build a shopping mall in the municipality. The
proposed mall site will be along Bacao Diversion Road, adjacent to the barangay hall of
Tejero. Robinson’s already has an outlet of its flagship stores - Robinson’s
Supermarket and Handyman Do It Center in Barangay Manggahan. The entry of one of
the giant shopping mall operator, Robinson’s, which is expected to start construction
by December 2012, will surely guarantee well for the town’s local economy. If
completed, it will be the first mall to rise in General Trias.
Popular big-sized stores such as Walter Mart, Robinson’s Supermarket and the
Puregold Jr., which is currently under construction, are flourishing. Likewise, several
multi-national food business giants and service shops such as food chain branches of
Jollibee, Chowking, McDonald’s, KFC, Mang Inasal, Chic Boy, Pizza Hut, Goldilocks,
Dunkin’ Donuts, Greenwich Pizza, among others, are doing lucrative business in the
municipality; most, if not all of them are franchised. Fine dining offered by King Bee
Restaurant, Nolboo Restaurant, Urashima Restaurant and Morning Shine Restaurant,
to name a few, have sprung into profitable business this past years.

5.2.1.3 Financial Institutions
As seen in Table 109, banking institutions providing a wide array of financial services
have established in the municipality. At present, there are 16 banking institutions
servicing the financial needs of the town. Likewise, around 48 lending institutions and
pawnshops, and 25 cooperatives complement these commercial banks. Refer to

5.2.2 Growth of Commercial Activities

As shown in Table 112, as General Trias continues to attract new major investments,
the influx of businesses and the steady increase in the number of commercial
establishments from 2007 to 2009 became evident. The number of business permits
159
Volume 3
issued grew from only 2,350 back in 2007 to 3,897 in 2011, increasing by a remarkable
66 percent. On the average, the rate of increase is equal to around 309 commercial
establishments per year. However, in 2010, business permits somewhat slowed down
with only 2,564 from 2, 859 in 2009 diminishing by almost 11 percent.

Increased Local Business Revenue
Investments covered by business taxes and permits for commercial, industrial and
institutional establishments posted an amount close to 227 M in 2010. These constitute
a larger share of 41.89 percent of total revenues of the municipality. Based on the
records, General Trias has a total of revenue collection for business tax and licenses of
more than 235 M in 2011 as compared to only 199 M back in 2007, with an increase of
18.24 percent over a 5-year period.
With the worsening global economic condition that constrained most of the major
investment in 2008 and 2009, General Trias was too affected by the worldwide economic
downturn having to lose its biggest investor- Intel Technology Philippines. Thus, revenue
from business taxes hit low by almost 13 percent from more than 211 M in 2008 to only
around 185 M in 2009, as shown in Table 113.

One Town One Product
General Trias is currently supporting the “One Town, One Product” campaign of the
national government to promote entrepreneurship and create jobs. This is a means by
which traditional and contemporary products of a town which has a competitive
advantage, will be given a chance to develop and be attuned to the current demand
trends, expand market base and tap export potentials. The program as well is giving
emphasis in addressing the concerns of the SME’s that include capitalization, access
to markets, business accessibility and product development.
For now, the production of white cheese or native cheese (kasilyo), implying the
preservation of local heritage and tradition is currently being promoted and developed.
So far, the native kasilyo had joined trade fairs and exhibitions sponsored by
government agencies. Perhaps these shall be a big help in seeing the items being
displayed and appreciated which is an avenue for exposure to get bigger opportunities
in the international scene.
The town turned out to be popular with its dairy products such as the Kesong Puti, which
is the Filipino version of mozzarella cheese. These are made from carabao’s milk which
gives a distinctively strong flavor. Other products made from carabao’s milk are flavoured
milk, yogurt, pastillas and yema.
Future Space Requirement for Commercial Purposes
161
Volume 3
Aside from its strategic location, the inspiring goal to maintain and sustain an investor
friendly environment through provision of infrastructure facilities and services, and the
concrete programs of the municipality have convinced investors to set up businesses in
the town. Enticed by the beauty of urban living while enjoying a peaceful environment,
General Trias has also been the top choice of real property developers to build their
commercial and residential developments.
General Trias having transformed into a preferred business hub in the province of
Cavite, must have a wide area for commercial activities. The municipality’s projected
built-up area for 2021 was estimated at 3,797.19 hectares. If the maximum suggested
ratio of 3% of the built up area should be allocated for commercial purposes, as per
HLURB guidelines, the LGU should have 113.92 hectares allotted for commercial
purposes. However, based on the existing land use plan, the present commercial use
accounts to 6.25% of the total built-up area equal to about 211.05 hectares, meaning
the municipality has a great deal of commercial areas for its commercial activities.
This implies that the area allocated for commercial use will be more than enough to
accommodate the need for increased commercial activities and therefore, has already
met the standard area requirement for commercial use.

5.3 Industries
Currently, the economy of General Trias

is spurred by the real estate and the
manufacturing sectors. One of the
developments which led to this shift in
focus in its economy from agriculture to
industry and real estate development,
and which consequently, led to the
increase in its financial status is the
establishment of industrial parks in the
area.
General Trias is considered as one of the new frontiers of growth and development
among the CALABARZON area as attested by giant industrial subdivisions/estates
located in the town. From four (4) factories operating in the town in 1991, a total of 123
firms came about in 2010. Almost 92 percent of these are located within the six major
industrial estates with a total coverage of more than 441 hectares. Refer to Table 115.

5.3.1 Local Revenue From Industries
Based on Table 116, it is noted that the number of industries has declined by 2.47
percent from 121 in 2009 to only 118 in 2010. Likewise, the income from industries
have even decreased from around Php 67 million in 2009 to only Php 58 million in
2010, representing a decrease of 13.12 percent. However in 2011, the local revenue
has increased further to around Php 156 million from only Php 58 million in 2010
corresponding to an almost 167 percent increase. This can be attributed to the
upsurge in number of industries from 118 in 2010 to 123 in 2011. Refer to Figures
32 and 33.
The declining trend of the number of industries from 2008 to 2010, maybe attributed to
the worsening global economic condition that hamstrung most of the major
investments.

Classification of industry is very useful in determining the types of industry that a

municipality can afford to pursue, given the number and skills of the labor force
population in the locality. Similarly, classifying industries as to degree of Hazard and
Pollution will be a criteria for the municipality in the choice of industry types that
conform to environmental protection. Table 118 shows the number and type of
industries according to scale and employment and it can be noted that the majority of
these industries fall under the category of Medium Industries.

5.4 Tourism
Despite the industrial development and booming economy, General Trias remains in
touch with its historical symbols and the heritage of its ancestors making it a truly “histo-
industrial” destination. Historical tourism introduces the historical evolution of the town
and the great part it played on the historical freedom being the home to the first Vice
President of the Revolutionary Government and first Governor of Cavite - General
Mariano Trias and the host to the first uprising in Cavite known as the ‘First Cry of
Cavite’ and the birthplace of the Tejeros Convention.
General Trias was likewise home to San Francisco de Malabon Band which played the
Philippine National Anthem and the St. Francis de Assisi ancient relic church which is a
standing testament to the Philippines’ colourful history.
5.4.1. Current Tourist Facilities
Since General Trias is not endowed with much natural tourism assets, the tourism and
recreational facilities for the town were mostly man-made in nature. The enrichment of
several local attractions were made available to draw, entertain and accommodate the
tourists and travellers in the area. The town offers first class tourist destinations like
the Lyceum of the Philippines University that serves as a landmark for its unique
architecture. The Geronimo Berenguer delos Reyes, Jr. (GBR) Museum offers a
glimpse of the Philippines’ glorious past. Travel back to the 19 th and 20th century
Philippines through an hour of nostalgic viewing of antiquarian photographs, print and
painting at the museum.
After a hard day’s work, take leisure at the Microtel Inn and Suites and Eagle Ridge Golf
and Residential Estate. These two destinations are also located at Barangay Javalera,
about only a kilometer away from Gateway Business Park. Eagle Ridge is considered
as the biggest golf course in Asia, comprised of four golf courses with 72 golf holes.
There are also newly developed resorts like the Antel Grand Village Water Park
among others, which is the grandest this side of Cavite specially designed to create
exciting recreation for all age groups. It has nine (9) gazebos and seven (7)
interconnecting swimming pools, white sand beach pool with two water slides. While the
La Travieza Resort and Hotel has 2 swimming pools with cottages and tables, grill and
function halls for special occasions/conferences.
Historical and cultural attractions in the municipality include historical landmarks

markers and religious landmarks. Examples of these are the Relic Church, built as
early as 1611 and the Gen. Mariano Trias Marker and Park as shown in Table 121,
wereas Table 122 shows the name and location of existing tourist accommodations in the
municipality.

5.4.2. Cultural Activities /Events
General Trias has six (6) major events that are held yearly. Aside from the historical
and touristic sites, the local government implements a wide array of cultural programs
and activities which are held during Town Fiesta and Foundation Day. The
municipality holds its Town Fiesta every fourth day of October in the Poblacion in
honor of its patron saint, St. Francis of Assisi. The celebration’s main highlight is the
Karakol, a street dancing with the patron saint being paraded on the streets. In addition,
it was usually celebrated doing activities such as Municipal Wide Clean- up Drive,
Kantabataan, Eye Mission for Senior Citizens, Pabinyag ng mga Alagang Hayop and
Fiesta Musical Jamboree. Also, every fiesta the town holds a baratillo or Tiangge where
residents can buy affordable products.
On every second week of December, Gentriseħos celebrate the Araw ng General Trias
in commemoration of its founding. It is a week-long celebration which was normally
highlighted with activities like Tugtugan sa Gentri, Municipal Fun Run, Gentriseño Quiz
Bee, Blood Letting Activity, Cultural show and series of Gift Giving Activity.
Likewise, the Valenciana Festival which is officially launched in 2010, is the current
main highlight of the celebration. Valenciana is a special cuisine that was inherited from
the Spaniards during the early times. The primary objective of this festival is to promote
cultural awareness, attract local and foreign tourists and investors as well. The
highlight of the festival was the street dance competition wherein participants from both
public and private high schools were invited to perform a dance that would depict
everything about valenciana- the way of cooking and the ingredients needed to make
this wonderful filling dish. The General Trias’ way of cooking valenciana is famous all
over the province of Cavite and the dish has become a favourite staple in almost every
gathering.

6.1.2 Major Road Projects

The urban expansion and urban decongestion program of Metro Manila which
culminated in the formulation of a transportation master plan for Metro Manila and its
neighboring areas affected by the sudden wave of sub-urbanization resulted in a
development strategy focusing on strengthening the transport system for the Cavite-
Laguna area.
Implemented projects meant to address the transportation problems of the CALA area
are the following:
 Metro Manila Skyway (MMS); and
 Metro Cavite Tollway Express (MCTE).
Committed projects are the following:
 Metro Cavite North-South Road;
 C-5 Expressway;
 CALA Expressway.
Future projects are the following:

 SLE Extension for Batangas to Lucena City in Quezon Province;
 North-South Road (Calabarzon Expressway);
 East-West Road (Imus-Tanza);
 LRT 1 Extension to Cavite and
 Traffic Management along Major Corridors.
General Trias is one of the municipalities composing the CALA area and is one of those
to be benefited by the CALA road projects. These projects, per the Metro Manila Urban
Transportation Integration Study, are geared for the following:
 Properly connect with the Noveleta–Naic–Tagaytay Road and the Manila; South
Road with entrance and exit points to the SLE;
 Adopt as much as possible existing major roads in the area;
 Minimize adverse social and environmental impacts in the area;
 To function as a system with the proposed North-South Road; and
 Road connection with the CALA Expressway should not be less than 3.0 kms. which
is the minimum standard for TRB for urban expressway.
The proposed alignment of the CALA East-West Road is guided by the following:
 East – West Road 1:
 Adopt the alignment of the wide and newly constructed Daang Hari Road;
 Extension of Daang Hari Road to SLE towards Susana Heights interchange; and
 East – West Road 2:

 Alignment will be located south of Governor’s Drive traversing less urbanized
and developed areas;
 Connection to SLE will be in Biñan due to higher standard of the Biñan
interchange;
 Connection to Noveleta–Naic Tagaytay Road South of Rosario; and
 Implementation strategy to include possible private sector participation.
Other proposed programs and projects approved for implementation for
the
improvement of infrastructure support facilities related to roads and transport sector
were as follows :
 Widening of Tejero Junction;

6.1.5. Transportation Demand
A survey was conducted by the Planning and Development Office in July 2011 on
average daily traffic volume in the major streets of the town. The said survey looked
into the aggregate traffic figures for the municipal and barangay roads of General
Trias. Traffic data was collected by recording manually the number of vehicles two-
way passing a specific point, (different roads per day). As to the measured vehicle
traffic load generated during the said survey, the details are somewhat presented in
Tables 133 and 134 (pages 187-189).
The survey shows that almost 58.24 percent of the total flow of vehicles consists of
public motorized tricycles; 26.50 percent are private vehicles; 7.79 percent are public
utility jeepneys; 4.16 percent are goods utilities; 3.26 percent are wheeler trucks and
0.05 percent are buses.
It can be observed that motorized tricycle is the major mode of transport used by regular
commuters. Having no definite regulations in its number and use, its ever-increasing
number have now proliferated in the Poblacion and in almost all barangays. It is for this
reason why the municipality conceptualized a system of color coding as stipulated in
the Revised General Trias Traffic Code of 2008, to control the volume of motorized
tricycles plying within their respective routes. Besides, there is now stiffer
competitions among drivers and creating a wide range of problems such as fare over
charging, refusal to convey passengers and rampant traffic violations. Similarly due to
lack of efficient public transport services particularly bus services going to Manila and
inter-provincial trips, a sharp increase in the private car trips have been perceived in
the municipality.
The General Trias Public Transport Management Office is tasked to manage the
transport and traffic problems of the town and is manned by 6 regular and 61
casual employees, respectively. Since its creation in 2010, the municipality was able to
maintain safety, further reform the road traffic situations, and improve existing processes
in the transport sector. In 2011, 14,474 apprehension were made in accordance to the
Revised General Trias Traffic Code of 2008 by the traffic enforcers who man the main
streets from sunrise to sundown. A total of P 4,460,675.50 were collected on penalties.
Traffic Congestion
General Trias, being a fast urbanizing town is facing traffic problems during peak hours
especially in various strategic intersections which are caused by increasing number of
tricycles, cars, jeepneys and motorcycles. Bottleneck along the major thoroughfares is
most evident particularly in the following areas :
Manggahan Junction
213
Volume 3
Being a major commercial district in the southern part, traffic jam is most apparent in
this area . This is brought about by the road’s limited capacity to meet traffic demands
due to large volume of vehicles going to and from Manila via Governor’s Drive-
Dasmarinas-Trece Martires national road. Traffic congestion is also due to the
presence of commercial establishments along this major thoroughfare.
Prinza Junction
Most of the time, this area experience traffic slow down mainly due to limited road
capacity and existence of pockets of commercial areas in the form of small markets.
This junction consists of narrow roads which need widening and rehabilitation. At
times, the improper use of road as parking-garage-terminals of jeepneys, tricycles,
delivery trucks and privately owned vehicles affect the slow down of traffic.
In addition, due to the existence of two private schools in Barangay Sta. Clara and
the operation of private schools in numerous subdivisions along the eastern portion
of the town utilizing the Arnaldo Highway, sizeable volume of vehicles going to and
from these private schools indicate a very high increase in traffic. Thus, this junction
has been transformed into a busy intersection.
Tejero Junction
The General Trias-Noveleta-Rosario national road which intersects this junction links
the Poblacion to Tanza, Rosario and Noveleta. Commuters use this road to access
Manila via Cavitex. Traffic congestion in this area is a daily occurrence. The large
volume of vehicles going to and from Manila and the scores of workers going to and
from their industrial workplace cause heavy traffic in the area especially during the peak
hours of the day.
Current Road Requirement
Using the standard road to population ratio of 2.4 km per 1,000 population, there is a
substantial adequacy in the road-transport network. The existing road network of
General Trias has a ratio of about 3.38 km per 1000 population, higher than the
required standards. With a population of 243,322 in 2010, there should only be about
583.97 kms. of road in the municipality as compared with the existing 821.42 kms.
including subdivision roads. This implies that General Trias has more than enough
road networks for its people due to the copious existence of the subdivision roads.
Ample investments for transport infrastructure will soon be required in order to support
economic growth. These will be in the form of additional transport facilities and
upgrading of existing roads and bridges.
Projected Road Requirement
Almost 33 percent (28 km) of barangay roads remain unpaved. These are rendered
not passable during rainy season. These roads need to be upgraded so that the delivery
of social services and potentials for economic improvement are not being impeded.
Table 141 shows a rough estimate of the road requirements for the period from year
2011 to 2021. Based on road standard of 2.4 km for every 1,000 population, General
Trias will still need an additional road length of 130.92 km by the year 2016.

The inventory of water tanks existing in the municipality is reflected in Table 144.
These tanks are usually elevated, made of either steel or concrete or known as water
tower. They usually receive water from a water well or from surface water allowing a
large volume of water to be placed in inventory and use during peak demand cycles,
sufficient for most domestic and industrial requirement.

6.3 Drainage and Sewerage Facilities
6.3.1 Flood Control and Drainage

There are certain barangays in the municipality that are affected by flooding during
times of continuous heavy rains. Flooding is usually brought about by low ground
elevation and lack of drainage facilities. Inundation depths vary in different barangays
as this is affected by topography, ground surface, existence of drainage structure, soil
characteristics and rainfall rate.
Table 147 presents a list of rivers serving as receiving water bodies for storm water
runoff. These run from south to north and make the municipality a naturally draining
area. At present, a system of storm drainage systems in the urban areas, residential
subdivisions and industrial estates convey runoff to these natural water bodies. These
consist of reinforced-concrete pipes, open canals either lined or unlined, and reinforced-
concrete rectangular culverts. Irrigation canals also serve as drain channels.

The map of flood prone areas is presented in Figure 39.
6.3.2 Sewerage and Sanitation

The municipality has no municipal-wide system to collect and discharge individual
household wastewater. Treatment and disposal are done by individual households.
Domestic wastewater is disposed of through soil percolation, or through drainage canals
or directly to surface water bodies. Septic tanks reduce the pollution load but these are
not maximised as these are usually poorly designed and constructed and has little
maintenance.
The Cavite Export Processing Zone and Gateway Business Park operate central
sewerage collection and treatment systems. Other industrial estates require locators to
put up their own sewerage systems and wastewater treatment facilities.
Based on a Municipal Health Office survey in 2010, 49,625 households or 98.51
percent of the total, have sanitary toilets.

6.4 Power
All barangays are presently energized and have 24-hr. electricity. MERALCO provides
the main energy source for households and other uses with 58,900 customers as of
October 2011. There are about 56,369 house connections while commercial and
industrial connections/customers are placed at 2,419 and 49, respectively (refer to
Table 148). The National Power Corporation (NPC) generates power and transmits this
to the MERALCO’s power distribution system. The total energy sales of MERALCO
as of October 2011 was 309,153,531 kilo-Watt hours. Refer to Table 149.

6.5 Communication
The presence of advanced telecommunications facilities not only makes General Trias
readily accessible through the internet, but also its economy benefits from the presence
of key players in the telecommunications industry. Modern and digital communication
are being offered by major telecommunication companies. There are three (3)
telephone service providers in the municipality providing landline connections to
different barangays. These are : Philippine Long Distance Telephone Company (PLDT),
Globe Telecoms and Digital Communication Phils., Inc. (Digitel). PLDT has the largest
share of subscribers in the Poblacion and the majority of the barangays registering a
total number of 884 subscribers in 2010-2011 while Globe had 505 in 2009-2010 and
Digitel had 682 in 2009-2010. The combined subscribers as of 2010-2011 were about
2,071 for a subscribed telephone density of 0.85 per 100 capita, which is way below the
national fixed line telephone density of 8.24 per 100 population(1997). Refer to Table
150.
223
Volume 3
There are also 41 cell site stations for cellular/mobile communication services provided
by three (3) cellular companies namely Smart Communications, Globe Telecom and
Digitel/SunCellular. The availability of the Internet Service Providers (ISPs) made the
people of General Trias ready to access the technological advances of the computer
based technology in communication and exchange of information. The ISPs operating
in the town are PLDT myDSL, Bayantel DSL, Globe Broadband, Smart and Sun DSL.
Shown in Table 151 is the distribution of the cell sites of the major operators in the
municipality.
Despite advances in information and telecommunications industry, the General Trias

Postal Office is still aimed towards delivering quality services to its clients through the
collection and delivery of mails and parcel throughout the town.Table 152 presents data
on postal services in the municipality.
Reception of television is good enough to cover all local TV stations aside from cable
television being provided by the Cavite Cable Corporation, Home Cable and Sky Cable.
Other communication services available in the Municipality include messengerial and

courier services being provided by LBC Express.
