THE REDEVELOPMENT OF POBLACION TANGALAN
CHAPTER 2
PRESENTATION OF DATA
BRIEF HISTORY
Before the Spanish colonizer came to the Philippines in the province of Capiz (before Aklan province was separated from Capiz), Tangalan
already had its own significant political, economic, and social life.
The town of Tangalan was established in the early part of 16th century by the descendants of Datu Bangkaya in Barangay Afga, a seaside
barangay facing Sibuyan Sea. Because of the continuous raid and furious behavior of the non-Christian (Moro) pirates, the natives of the said
barangay transferred their settlement to another inland location at Sitio Nagub-an of Barangay Tagas.
During the establishment of the Spanish government in the country, Tangalan was already organized. The component barangays of the town
were Balasia (now Dapdap), Tondog, Pudiot, Tagas, Panayakan, Afga, Jawili, Dumatad, Vivo, Tamakoe, and Rivera (now a sitio of Ibajay).
The seat of the municipal government was at its present location at the Poblacion.
There are two legends that tell of how Tangalan got its name. It had been told that a Spanish sailboat piloted by a Tagalog, broke its rudder
(timon) and was brought ashore for repair. The pilot of the boat was asked by the natives what reason was of his setting ashore, and the pilot
answered ‘natanggalan” meaning displaced- referring to the detached rudder of the boat. The other story was when a Spanish officer passed
by the shore and found trees growing with distinctive foliage nearby asked the natives of its name. The natives answered “Tanggal” the name
of the mangrove trees in local dialect. The name of the town was coined after the two incidents.
During the Spanish- American regimes, several town executives were appointed to head the local government. Listed below were the persons
who had served the town as local executives:
Torcuato Tumbagahan Lamberto Tirol Godio Magallanes

Upon the termination of the Spanish rule in the country and the American took the reign of control all over the Philippines, Antonio Molo
was fused into one municipality with one municipal government and named the municipality Taft, after then the American Governor General
Taft of the Philippine Islands. The seat of the municipal government was established in Barangay Balasia (now Dapdap) and a Tangalanon
by the name Alfonso Miraflores was named municipal executive with the title of president. However, during the terms of Lambrento Tirol
and Manuel Acevedo, the seat of the municipal government was again transferred to Makato for the reason that the seat was far from these
Makaton-on, making Tangalan simply an arabal of Makato.
The people of Tangalan did not relish the set-up of being merged with Makato but accepted the bitter and unhappy situation. However, the desire for an
independent town did not die and they silently worked a way out of the dilemma. It was true love for freedom and self-government that enlightened and
fired the fervent desire of the leaders and the people of Tangalan to wage a struggle for the separation of their municipality as an independent town.
During the Japanese occupation (World War II), Tomas Confessor, the governor for Panay and Romblon, issued and executive or der making the town of
Tangalan an independent municipality again. He also appointed Eugenio Tuderios as municipal mayor and setting the temporary municipal government at
Barangay Baybay. The administration of Tudieros did not last long because when liberation came, Tangalan was again returned as an arabal of the town
of Makato. This situation inspired the people of Tangalan to struggle for independence. During the election in 1947, the people of TAngalan united to
elect Paterio F. Tirol as mayor and Eliodoro T. Goboy as vice mayor, all natives of Tangalan. So, when the consent was requested by the higher authority
from the mother municipality for the separation, it was easy for the elected officials above to grant.
The separation of the municipal government of Tangalan from Makato passed many obstacles and hard struggle. A bill was filed by the then distinguished
Senator jose M. Hontiveros, a Tangalanon, in the senate. But due to political intrigues by the Capiz politicians, the attempt failed. The people of Tangalan
firmly believed that only by unity, they can achieve their cherished dream. The leaders and the people, spearheaded by the late Mayor Paterio F. Tirol, the
19
late Pedro T. Fuentes, Sr., and the late Judge Jose B. Tirol, joined and got the support of the late Congressman Jose M. Reyes. Republic Act No. 285 was
passed by Congress on June 16, 1948 and was signed into law on July 31, 1948, of which the banner of independence was hoisted in the municipality of
Tangalan.
After the separation of Tangalan from Makato, it had slowly but firmly moved forward under the stewardship of several mayors. The first to be appointed
was Deogracias B. Molo who held the position from 1948-1951. Then in 1952, Atty. Isagani T. Fuentes became the first elected mayor followed by
Mayor Augustos T. Goboy who served for two consecutive terms from 1956 to 1963. He was then succeeded by the first elected lady mayor, Araceli
Acevedo Tagle who also served for two consecutive terms from 1964 to 1971. Mayor Edito T. Goboy was elected in 1971 1nd held the position from
1972 to 1986. Gorgonio T. Fuentes was appointed Officer in Charge (OIC) Mayor after the EDSA Revolution, and was officially elected in the Local
Election of 1988. He served for two consecutive term until 1995. He was succeeded by Andres T. Francisco who served for one term until 1998.
Succeeding the administration of Mayor Francisco is the service-orientated tandem of Jed A. Tirol and Gene T. Fuentes who held the positions of Mayor
and Vice Mayor, respectively, for three consecutive terms from 1998 to 2007. In the Election of 2007, the same tandem held the realm of development of
Tangalan, this time Gene T. Fuentes as the Mayor and Jed A. Tirol as the Vice Mayor. Today, the municipality is governed, unopposed since 2007, by the
same leadership in whose shoulders lay the burden to lead Tangalanons towards higher grounds.
PRESENT CONDITION
A. DEMOGAPHIC DATA OF TANGALAN
Age and Gender Structure
The 2007 age-sex population pyramid of the municipality of Tangalan against the 2000 pyramid structure similarly reflects a pattern of high
but declining fertility. This is shown in Figure below where the pattern follows a narrowing base and slim top There is a high proportion of
children and a low proportion of the high age bracket. The cone of the pyramid may be interpreted to show that the population is not very
affected with migration or abnormal mortality rates because it shows a regular declining population as the age increases.

B. AREA & LAND USE
The municipality of Tangalan has a total lot area of 74.58 sq.km (7,458.5 hectares) representing 4.10% of the total land area of the province.
The majority of Tangalan’s land is for eco-tourism and agricultural use since these are the primary income sources. The rest are moderately
steep and mountainous terrain.
C. CLIMATE
There are two distinct types of climate found in the municipality; the 1st type and the 3rd type. The southern portion of the Municipality has
(2) two distinct seasons; the wet dry season, while the northern area has no pronounced seasonal change. The main difference is the monthly
distribution of rainfall. The amount of rainfall during the months of January to April in the southern part of the municipality is considerably
less such that dry season is more pronounced. In the north, minimum rain period is not so pronounced.

MICRO-SITE DATA

A. EXISTING URBAN LAND USE:
 Poblacion, the urban center of Tangalan has a total area of 101.3465 hectares. Population as of the 2010 census is 1,429 which
translate into an urban density of 14.10 persons per hectare, the highest relative to the other barangays of the municipality. The urban center
has an orderly development with contiguous residential areas and other uses. Most of the commercial establishments are set-up around the
public market and very few sari-sari stores are found around the residential vicinity. The institutional uses such as the government center,
public service offices and the church are all found in one place, fronting the public plaza.
 Residential Area covers 26.6991 hectares. With 302 household counted based on may, 2010 census on population, this means that
the average lot size is 884 square meters. Ten years ago, the average lot size was recorded at 1,148 square meters. The location for residential
areas are found at the heart of the town surrounding the municipal plaza and crisscrossed with road grids. The existing land area for
residential purpose will be reduced by 0.81% or about 0.2170 hectares which will be reclassified into commercial purpose.
 Commercial Area presently occupies 3.8882 hectares, mostly by the public market. But the established commercial center is getting
crowded and with the promotion of eco-tourism for the town, the present area might not be enough to provide for the needs of the business
community. At present, telecom companies have already set-up their local offices, and other service oriented establishments have started to
crop-up mix with the residential area around the public market. The present land area would be increased by about 202.11% or
approximately 7.8588 hectares which will then become 11.7470 hectares.
 The Institutional Area of the municipality is adequate for the present needs for public services. Although the municipal building is
beginning to get crowded with the setting up of new offices, the municipal government has enough space for the construction of additional
offices and service centers. The religious organizations, particularly the Catholic Church occupies adequate space for its future needs. One
hectare is occupied by the Tangalan National High School is bounded by the national highway and the tangalan river and the only alternative
is to locate its expansion to another place. Presently, the total are for institutional use is 3.1729 hectares
34
 Parks and Open Spaces of the urban center has a total area of 0.9082 hectares. The main area is the public plaza covering two
blocks and with the road grid as perimeter. The other open spaces and parks are the small rotunda located at the intersection of the road
leading to the Centre of the town and the national highway and a small parcel of land owned by the municipal government. Included in the
accounting of open spaces and parks is the municipal cemetery located at the boundary of Poblacion and barangay Tagas.
 Fishpond and Marshland can also be found in the urban centre. Right behind the institutional area occupied by the municipal
building is a large swath of underdeveloped fishpond area. Depending on the future needs of the municipal government, the area is a
potential expansion alternative for the institutional requirements of the municipality. Fishponds occupy a total area of 15.3569 hectares.
 Agriculture Land is still the largest land use even in the urban centre. It occupies a total area 59.8706 hectare of mostly rich
agricultural lands planted to rice. Some of these areas are even tenanted and therefore cannot be converted for other uses. However, for
expansion of the urban centre, agriculture areas are the only remaining alternative.
B. URBAN LAND USE PLAN:

 The expansion of area allocation for the different land use requirement of the urban centre becomes obvious with the reduction with
the reduction by about 77% of the average lot sizein just ten years ( from 1,148 sq.m to 884 sq.m). it is also foreseen that with the
implementation of this CLUP, and the promotion of tangalan as an eco-tourism area in the global market, the need land towards service
oriented uses would also increase. The municipal government, with the enactment of a zooning ordinance would like to see future
developments are well controlled and orderly. The development of the poblacion as the centre of sicio-economic, cultural and political
activities means that more and more of the population would like to set-up residency here. That translates to added burden of the capacity of
the area sustain a balanced neighbourhood particurlarly if there are no control measures. Anticipating these effects, reclassification of land
uses has to be determined and set. Table 10A below describes the Urban Land Use Plan of the municipality for the planning period 2013-
2022.
35
 The Residential Area has to be decreased by 0.2170 or hectares from 26.6991 hectares to 26.4821 hectares. The proposed area for
residential usewould respond to the need of the urban center, which can provide the service requirements for an eco-tourism based
municipality. A portion of the reduced area would be utilized for commercial expansion of the municipality in partnership with the private
sector.
 The Commercial Area will also be increased from the present 3.8882 hectares to 11.7470 hectares. It will still be located in the
vicinityof the publicmarket, and will in fact be developt as the central business district of the municipality, where transport terminal &
Businee Centre will be established. Service and facilities will be improved so that the commercial centre can attract would be investors to
establish businesses in the locality.
 The Institutional Area will be maintained at its present size, maximizing the the available area. Besides, the services would also be
spread to the other nodal growth centres of the municipality to help ease up the pressure of service provision from the urban centre. For
education, barangay Panayakan NHS has sufficient area for expansion of secondary education services and these could ease the pressure on
tangalan NHS.
 Parks and Open Spaces would also be maintained at its present size since it would be very costly to develop them for other uses.
Future plan may consider the area as possible expansion, whwn cost to benefit ratio becomes affordable.
 The Fishpond Area will be maintained at its present size since it would be very costly to develop the for the other uses. Fureture
plans may consider the area as posible expansion, when cost to benefit ratio becomes affordable.
 The Agricultural Area will be reduced by 21.4186 hectares or 49.33% of the total agricultural area. Most of these reclassified areas
will be used for commercial and other infrastructure development such as opening roads. A portion of this, which is about 13.7768 hectares
(64.32%) would be used for the opening of secondary national highway and municipal roads connecting Barangay Afga and going to the
municipal cemetery, respectively.

C. CASE STUDIES
CASE STUDY 1
Biophilic Design in Architecture
The word biophilia was first used by a psychologist called Erich Fromm in 1964. He described it as
“the passionate love of life and all that is alive”.
The concept was popularised by Edward O Wilson, an American biologist in 1984 with his book
‘Biophilia’. He defined it as “the urge to affiliate with other forms of life”.
In the last couple of decades biophilia has been recognised by the scientific and design communities. And there have been studies that show
convincing evidence of the positive benefits of interaction with nature. Research shows that it can improve productivity, lower stress levels,
enhance learning comprehension, and increase recovery rates from illness.
Benefits of Biophilic Design

 Alleviate feelings of stress
 Promote recovery from mental fatigue
 Lift our spirits and make us feel more relaxed
 Exposure to natural daylight
 Elevate moods/ feelings
 Improve the look of your interior and exterior design.
Data gathered from this study provided valuable information essential to the formulation of the thesis proposals’ conceptual framework. The
various operational functions discussed in the study presented the researchers with an adequate amount of facts to support the preparation for
Redevelopment framework.

CASE STUDY 2
Iloilo River Esplanade

Riverside Promenade with Peaceful Views of the City
The Iloilo Esplanade or simply the “esplanade” as locals call it is a peaceful promenade that runs
alongside the Iloilo River. It is one of best showcases of the city’s efforts to rehabilitate and protect
the Iloilo River and promote active lifestyles. It is also a popular tourist spot where visitors can
enjoy a leisurely stroll and enjoy the serene views along the river.
Function
The Iloilo River Esplanade concept will be an additional destination in tourism and will be another source of income of the municipality. It
will also help Poblacion to minimize air pollution because people will be enticing to walk/jog at the esplanade.
RESEARCH
“URBAN PLANNING”
“A city should be built to give its inhabitants security and happiness” – Aristotle
“A place where men had a common life for a noble end” – Plato
Urban planning - An art of shaping and guiding the physical growth of the town creating buildings and environments to meet the various
needs such as social, cultural, economic and recreational etc. and to provide healthy conditions for both rich and poor to live, to work, and to
play or relax.
58
Urban planning - is a technical and political process concerned with the development and use of land, planning permission, protection and
use of the environment, public welfare, and the design of the urban environment, including air, water, and the infrastructure passing into and
out of urban areas, such as transportation, communications, and distribution networks.
Urban planning - also referred to as urban and regional planning, regional planning, town planning, city planning, rural planning or some
combination in various areas worldwide. It takes many forms and it can share perspectives and practices with urban design.
59
It encompasses many different disciplines and brings them all under a single umbrella.
The simplest definition of urban planning is that it is the organization of all elements of a town or other urban environment.
ROLE OF PLANNERS
Consider – human communities are always in the process of changing

Recognize – the complexity of communities
Concern – about the future

THEORIES EXPLAINING THE EMERGENCE OF TOWNS
Central Place Theory
Developed by the German geographer Walter Christaller in 1993

It explains the reasons behind distribution patterns, size, and number of cities and towns.
61
Concentric Zone Model
1. Central Business District (CBD) - This area of

the city is a non-residential area and it’s where
businesses are. This area s called downtown ,a
lot of sky scrapers houses government
institutions, businesses, stadiums, and
restaurants
2. Zone of Transition- the zone of transition

contains industry and has poorer-quality
housing available.Created by subdividing larger
houses into apartments
3. Zone of the working class- This area contains

modest older houses occupied by stable,
working class families. A large percentage of
the people in this area rent.
4. Zone of better residence- This zone contains

newer and more spacious houses. Mostly
families in the middle-class live in this zone.
5. Commuter’s Zone/Suburbs- This area is
located beyond the build-up area of the city.
Mostly upper class residents live in this area.
