Angeles is served by the Clark International Airport in Clark Freeport Zone. Being home of the
former Clark Air Base (once the largest United States military facility outside the continental United
States), it was significantly affected by the fallout from the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991. The
economy of Angeles was heavily dependent on the American base at that time.
In 1993, a full cleanup and removal of volcanic ash deposits began and the former U.S. base was
transformed into the Clark Special Economic Zone (CSEZ). The creation of CSEZ has helped to offset
the loss of income and jobs previously generated by the presence of the U.S. base in the city. Today,
Angeles and Clark form the hub for business, industry, aviation, and tourism in the Philippines as well

Table 3-1 shows census years population and the annual growth rates in between census years. The
highest increase in population is between the census years 1948 and 1960 at 6.41% while the lowest
is at 1.25% between census years 1876 and 1903. There was a slight decrease in population,
apparently due to the Mt. Pinatubo calamity and the voluntary withdrawal of the American Military
Forces from Clark Air Base, between census years 1990 and 1995, at -0.01%.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT
There is a need to ensure that ecosystems are protected and maintained for equitable use by human
future generations. This is a goal to preserve, conserve and improve the state of environmental resources
affected by human activities.
Food Safety – Food quality, sanitation and safety is ensured in establishments like restaurants, fast foods,
carinderia, eateries, refreshments and food manufacturing by requiring the owners to secure local
sanitary permits including health certificates for food handlers as provided for in Chapter III of City
Ordinance 326, Series 2012, “An Ordinance Enacting the Sanitation Code of Angeles City.” This covers all
food establishments, food manufacturers and facilities including those located in vessels, food container
vehicles and food sold in the streets. The City Health Office – Environmental Health Services (CHO-EMS)
conducts regular monitoring in these establishments. However, this may not be the case for the food
street vendors. There are a hundreds of street peddlers selling various cooked and non-cooked food items
in the city. These vendors hardly comply with the provisions of this city ordinance such as the sanitation
requirements for operating food establishments, health requirements for food handlers, quality food
protection, transporting of food and food materials, and preparation, storing and serving of food/drinks.
One of the identified priority project listed in the Local Development Investment Program is the “Street
Food Vendors Registration, Regulation and Livelihood Assistance Project.” It does not only provide
livelihood to street food vendors but also enforces regulations to ensure that street food are not only
cheap but also clean. There should be a registration, regular inspection and assessment of street food
vendors’ compliance to health and sanitation regulations.
Noise – The source of most outdoor noise is caused mainly by machines and transportation systems.
City Ordinance 3012, Series 2011, “An Ordinance Codifying the Environmental Related Ordinances of
Angeles City,” Chapter 5, Air/Noise Pollution Management, Art. B requires owners of motorcycles,
tricycles and other two-wheeled motor vehicles to have mufflers with silencers or other similar devices to
their said vehicles to avoid unnecessary irritating noise and increasing penalty for violation thereof.

The Public Transport Regulatory Office (PTRO) should strictly enforce said city ordinance and must become
a precondition for the granting of public conveyance franchise. The same must also be communicated by
the city government to the Land Transportation Office (LTO) so that the same condition will be applied
prior to the registration of these vehicles.
Smoking – On October 23, 2012, the Sangguniang Panlungsod passed Ordinance 321, Series 2012 “An
Ordinance Amending Ordinance 302, Series 2011 known as the Environmental Code of Angeles City,
particularly Section 5A.02 of Article A, Chapter 5, Prohibiting smoking Inside Public or Government Offices,
Public Transportation, Theaters, Malls and Public Hospitals within the Jurisdiction of Angeles City.”
Any person found violating the provisions of this ordinance shall be punished by a fine of P1,000 or by
imprisonment of not more than 30 days or both at the discretion of the court. Citizens (arrest), barangay
officials/tanods and the City Environment and Natural Resources Office are authorized to apprehend
violators.
Republic Act No. 9003 – The Ecological Solid Waste Management Act of 2000, provides the institutional
and legal frameworks on how the country can address its problem on solid waste management especially
in urban areas. It mandated LGUs to establish their own landfill either individually or collectively.
Concerned national line agencies and entities, including the private sector were also encouraged to
participate in establishing solid waste management facilities in consultation with LGUs.
Angeles City expects to achieve its aspiration of a sound ecology and environment to make it an enviable
place for its citizenry to live in through Ordinance No. 302, series of 2011, “An Ordinance Codifying the
Environmental Related Ordinance of Angeles City in the Preservation and Protection of the Environmental
and Ecological Integrity of Angeles City.”
One of the provisions of the Code is the Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Ordinance of Angeles
City. Its essence is the assurance of the cleanliness as well as the sanitation of the city through the proper
management of waste and the cessation of the utilization of open garbage dumps facilities. This ordinance
is in line and in support of RA 9003.

One of the strategies considered to be the most critical for the effective implementation of this Ordinance
is the Information Education and Communication (IEC) Campaign conducted at the barangay level. Their
primary targets are the households, the very source of waste segregation. The IEC campaign aims to instill
awareness and hopefully, the values on the residents, of their environment, their surroundings, the
ecology. They should be made to acknowledge their share in the responsibility of proper waste
management, from waste segregation and storage, at source, to collection and transfer to disposal of
waste.
To inculcate awareness and discipline, the city has taken the step further as provided for in Article B of
Ordinance No. 3012, S-2011. Citation tickets for the offense of “Improper Disposal and Other Forms of
Unsanitary Practices”. Violators will be fined with a minimum of P500.00 or imprisonment of five (5) days
but not more than one (1) month to a maximum of P2,000.00 or imprisonment of six (6) months and one
(1) day but not more than one (1) year or both fine and imprisonment at the discretion of the court.
As part of its solid waste management efforts, another ordinance was passed Ordinance No. 314, S-2012,
“An Ordinance Creating the Angeles City Solid Waste Management Board (SWMB) and Establishment of
Material Recovery Facility (MRF) in Angeles City”.
Angeles City, along with its 33 barangays, has manifested the desire to provide adequate material recovery
facilities and to implement effective solid waste management. The city established a Materials Recovery
Facility (MRF), three (3) of which are individual MRFs while one (1) is a clustered MRFs and a Central
Transfer Station where it sorts wastes accordingly. Those materials that can be reused and recycled are
sold, while bio-degradable and other organic wastes are processed into organic fertilizer. The remaining
non-recoverable materials are disposed in Kalangitan Sanitary Landfill, an inter-regional sanitary landfill
owned and operated by Clark Development Corporation (CDC).

vegetated by grass. The City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO) had identified sites for
reforestation. These sites are Sitio Target, Sitio Kalang, Sitio Dudurot and Sapang Ebus.
To curb air pollution from motor vehicles, the Clean Air Act requires smoke emission test prior to renewal
of registration. Private emission testing centers were established in various parts of the country to provide
testing services to public transport vehicle and private-owned vehicles.
The city government, through the City Environment and Natural Resources Office (CENRO), conducts
continuous Information Education and Communication (IEC) on Clean Air Act to drivers and operators of
public utility jeepneys and organized an Anti-Smoke Belching Unit. It also conducts consultative meetings
on air quality management for the formulation of the Clean Air Ordinance including its framework.
City Ordinance No. 302, Series 2011 - An Ordinance Codifying the Environmental Related Ordinance of the
City, Chapter 5, Air/Noise Pollution Management, Art. C, Sec. 5C-03, states that the city government shall
implement an air quality control action by regulating the tricycles for hire presently holding franchises

5.5. Disaster Risk Reduction Management, Climate Change and Global Warming
Climate Change is one of the most serious challenges ever to confront humanity. Its adverse impacts are
already seen and may intensify exponentially over time if nothing is done to reduce further emissions.
In 2001, the scientific community released to the world a united view that the threats of global warming
and climate change are real. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) even released official
figures on how much planet Earth warms each year. Based on hard scientific facts, it was estimated that
the average global surface temperature will increase from 1.4 - 5.8 degree Celsius between 1990 to 2100.
Evidences suggest that for every one (1) degree Celsius increase in temperature, there would be about
20.40 centimeter rise in sea level due to the melting of ice in the Polar Regions. Thus, we can expect to
experience about 1.2 – 2.4 meter-rise in sea level for the next 100 years.
The integrated DRR+CCAM Action Plan for Angeles was prepared to reinforce and highlight the disaster
risk reduction and climate change adaptation and mitigation measures already incorporated in the
Angeles City Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), 2010 – 2020 and the Comprehensive Development
Plan (CDP), 2010 – 2016.
The DRRM Action Plan of Angeles City will generally follow the national DRRM framework and shall contain
the following major components:
1. Prevention and Mitigation – programs, projects and activities (PPAs) that will
reduce the vulnerability and exposure of communities to hydrometeorologic and
geologic hazards will be implemented, and to enhance the capacities of
communities to reduce their own risks and cope with the impacts of these hazards.
2. Disaster Preparedness – PPAs that will strengthen the capacities of communities
to anticipate, cope and recover from the adverse impacts of emergency
occurrences and disasters will be implemented.
3. Disaster Response – PPAs will be implemented to decrease the number of
preventable deaths and injuries, provide basic subsistence needs of affected
population and immensely restore basic social services.

1. Food Security – The food security of the city will be achieved by protecting its remaining agricultural
lands from conversion according to the principle of highest and best use of land. Maximize all idle lands
and open lots and transform the same into productive vegetable garden. Encourage urban greening
programs in communities, schools and subdivision.
2. Water Sufficiency – The city will adopt integrated water resources management in watersheds and
river basins; will refrain from utilizing groundwater beyond the rate of replenishment and will promote
the use of surface bulk water.
3. Ecosystem and Environmental Stability – PPAs will be implemented to rehabilitate and protect
ecosystems and restore the ecological services they provide. The city government had sustained tree
planting activities along river banks and watershed areas.
4. Human Security – Angeles City will develop Climate Change-adaptive settlements and provide health
and social delivery systems responsive to climate change.
5. Climate Smart Industries and Services – Angeles City will support climate-smart industries and services
to generate sustainable livelihood.
6. Sustainable Energy – The city will promote energy efficiency and conservation measures,
environmentally-sustainable transport system including climate-proofed infrastructure facilities.
7. Knowledge and Capacity Development – The city will implement PPAs that will improve the knowledge
and understanding of the community on climate change and the measures on how to adapt to it.

Based on the flood hazard susceptibility assessment (Figure 5-2), Angeles city is one of the areas in the
province of Pampanga with low susceptibility to flooding primarily due to its topography. Areas
susceptible to flooding are those near the creeks and other water channels.
Intense ground shaking with Intensity VII on the Richter Scale was felt in Pampanga during the great North
Luzon Earthquake in July 1990 as recorded by the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology
(PHILVOLCS). Areas within the vicinity of the epicenter in Gabaldon, Nueva Ecija experienced Intensity VIII
ground movement. The areas in Pampanga vulnerable to Intensity VIII ground shaking based on the Rapid
Earthquake Damage assessment System (REDAS) computer model of PHIVOLCS include Angeles City,
Arayat, Bacolor, Guagua and Floridablanca among others. (Figure 5-3)
In areas where ground water is shallow and the ground is made up of poorly consolidated materials,
intense ground shaking due to earthquake triggers the ground to liquefy and weaken its ability to support
structures like houses, buildings, utilities, roads and the like. Liquefaction is a phenomenon in which the
strength and stiffness of a soil is reduced by earthquake shaking or other rapid loading. Angeles City is
included in the group with low susceptibility to liquefaction. (Figure 5-4)
Based on the hazard map prepared by the Mines and Geo0Sciences Bureau of the Department of
environment and natural Resources, the municipalities in Pampanga that are highly susceptible to
earthquake-induced landslides are those located in the mountainous areas of Arayat, Porac,
Floridablanca, Mabalacat and Angeles City. (Figure 5-5).
River Bank Erosion - Angeles City is predominantly sandy, river bank erosion along Abacan River continue
to threaten existing settlements and potential urban expansion areas. Bank erosion in Abacan River is
from Anunas (Friendship Bridge) in the west and all the way to the east in its boundary with Mexico,
Pampanga. The absence of bank protection works hastens riverbank erosion contributing in reducing the
availability of land in Angeles.

The Task Force 1M Trees planted bamboos along the river banks and forged partnerships and
collaborative efforts with NGOs and the academe in sustaining the planted bamboos.
For the city’s long term project, identified in the Local Development Investment Program, is The
Comprehensive Development of Abacan River. Applicable portions of Abacan River will be reclaimed and
transformed into a highway, linear park and commercial Planned Unit Developments (PUDs).
Informal Settlers along Water Channels - Being a Highly Urbanized City, in-migration in Angeles City still
continues. As such, colonies of informal settlements in the city can now be found even in high risk areas
such as river banks.
As of 2015 data obtained from LUPAHO, a total of 1,666 informal settlers dwell along the river banks of
Abacan River from the barangays of Amsic, Anunas, Malabanias, Margot, Ninoy Aquino, Pampang, Sta.
Teresita, Sapangbato, and Tabun.
As such, the city has to prepare its informal settlements relocation plan so that it can accordingly address
this particular concern. In 2014, The National Housing Authority initially provided five hundred (500) units
worth P120M for five hundred (500) beneficiaries located at Barangay Sapalibutad, Angeles City.

INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT
6.1. Transportation
Angeles City, due to its strategic location has a relatively significant resident population and
predominantly service economy. There is a continuous movement of people and goods from one location
to another. Hence, it attracts a very large amount of inter and intra city traffic. Consequently, the city
continues to deal with its substantial demand for transportation.
Accessibility and mobility, therefore, are the city’s most indispensable commitment.

The City Engineer’s Office continues to maintain, rehabilitate, pave, either concrete or asphalt the city and
barangay roads, while all roads and bridges that are classified as national are under the jurisdiction of the
Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). In the aforementioned data, there are still roads
which are not reflected in the Angeles City Road and Rural Road Inventory because these street/roads do
not have Road ID.
In the city’s road network plan, there are proposed roads like the East Circumferential Road and the
Abacan River Road Corridor. This may suffice for the city to meet the standard urban road density
requirement.
MacArthur Highway. This is the oldest inter-regional highway that connects Northern and Central Luzon
provinces from the national metropolis. Its original name was the Manila North Road but was renamed
MacArthur Highway, after it was concreted in the middle of the twentieth century. This was the route
traveled by the American Liberation Forces led by General Douglas MacArthur from Pangasinan province
to Manila when they liberated the country from Japanese occupation forces.

The Central Luzon section of the MacArthur Highway starts at Km 17+270 in Meycauayan City in Bulacan
and ends at Km 168+275 in San Manuel, Tarlac, giving a total length of 151.005 km. The 5.44 kilometer
portion in Angeles City starts at Km 81+260 (boundary with the City of San Fernando) and ends at Km
86+700 (boundary with Mabalacat City).
In 2007, the Traffic Engineering and Management Project Management Office (TEAM-PMO) of the DPWH
conducted a study for the proposed MacArthur Highway Traffic Management System Project particularly
in critical sections and congested areas in Region III. The study reveals the following typical problems, to
name a few:
In addition, there were identified nine (9) critical intersections along MacArthur Highway under the
DPWH’s Angeles Sub-District and these are (i) Sto. Rosario Street; (ii) Jesus Street; (iii) Magalang/Entierro;
(iv) De Guzman Street; (v) Magcalinis Street; (vi) Gueco Street; (vii) M. Roxas/Clark Road; (viii) Dau Exit

Central and Northern Luzon for the former and westward for the latter.
This 88 km toll way has two sections: an open section that charges a flat toll fee per vehicle class; and
closed section which is distance-based i.e. toll fee is based on the class of vehicle and distance traveled.
Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEx). This 94-kilometer four-lane expressway started its operation in
April 2008. It serves as a direct and exclusive road connection between major development areas of
Central Luzon (Subic, Clark, Tarlac). Its southwestern terminus is at the Subic Bay Freeport Zone in
Zambales, then passes through the interchanges with the North Luzon Expressway near the Clark Special
Economic Zone in Angeles City, and Central Techno Park in Tarlac City, Tarlac; and its northeaster terminus
is in La Paz, Tarlac.

Angeles City is approximately 83 kilometers north of Manila from the Rizal Monument in Luneta Park to
the old City Hall in the city poblacion. It can be accessed through the MacArthur Highway, the newly
rehabilitated North Luzon Expressway (NLEx), and the newly constructed Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway
(SCTEx).
7.2.1 Topography
Angeles City is predominantly flat with some hilly portions near its boundary with Porac and Mabalacat
in the west side. Shown in Figure 7-2 is a contour map of Angeles City with a generalized contour 10-
meter interval, and a slope section along the east and west alignment. This slope section cuts across the
foothill of the mountains of Porac and Mabalacat inSapangbato, passes through Friendship and Abacan
Bridges all the way to Pandan Bridge, and finally terminates in the eastern border of Angeles City with
Mexico. This section has an estimated total length of about 17.5 kilometers from the west to the east
boundary.
The highest elevation of Angeles City is about 440 meters above sea level located at Sapangbato. However,
the slope section shown above did not hit this contour. It started at 340 meters above sea level, peaked
at 380 meters, and slowly descended as it moved going to the eastern border. As it moved towards the
east, the elevation descended to 120 meters along Friendship Bridge, went down farther to 90 meters in
the Abacan Bridge area, fell to about 70 meters near the approach of Pandan Bridge, before it finally
leveled at 60 meters below sea level along its boundary with Mexico. This shows a very defined west to
east slope or elevation gradient that generally followsthe drainageflow ofAbacan River.

Being highly urbanized, most of its lands in the built-up areas are already paved. Paved surfaces cannot
absorb rain water and therefore deter infiltration into the soil no matter how sandy it is. Storm drainage
canals constructed several years back now easily overflow because they have already reached their peak
flood capacity. These inherent weaknesses are amplified by other factors which include but not limited
to: i) encroachment of road right-of-way (illegal and formal settlers), ii) siltation of water channels, iii)
indiscriminate disposal of garbage, and to certain extent,iv) unplannedand unregulated property
development.

Land Use
In 1977, the estimated built-up area of Angeles City was 1,390.12 hectares representing 22.36 percent of
its total land area. In mid-2009 or 32 years after, this has doubled reaching about 2,986.47 hectares which
is equivalent to 48.03 percent of thecity’s total land area (Figure 7-6). This left the city with approximately
2,388 hectares of patches of agricultural lands distributed across its territory. Note that Angeles City has
an estimated population of 170,575 and 330,059 in 1977 and 2009, respectively. If the present population
growth rate of 2.14% based on the 2000 and 2010 censuses on population will not change, Angeles City’s
population will double in 32 years or come 2042. As such, its remaining agricultural lands may fully give
way for urban expansion. However,the city is determined to resist settlement pressures on forest reserves
Historically, Angeles City is the most important urban center in Central Luzon complemented by the
neighboring City of San Fernando and the Mabalacat City. This function is expected to be further enhanced
due to the interplay of improving infrastructure stock, growing economic base, expanding population, and
rising income. Said urbanization and development trends will pull Angeles City from all directions. These
require better planning and land use management to effectively direct and control development. It is for
this purpose that the city formulated its comprehensive land use plan for 2010-2020.

Moreover, the different land use activities contained in the proposed CLUP were further grouped into
four major categories: Protected Areas, Settlement Areas, Production Areas and Infrastructure Areas.
Protected Areas
The objectives of protection land use are to protect important physical resource (manmade or natural),
sensitive and critical ecosystem from human intrusion in order to preserve their integrity, as well as allow
degraded resources to regenerate themselves to protect the human populace from environmental
hazards, among other things. The National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS) Law or R.A. 7586
sets the general framework for the protected areas. Other protection areas are provided by other laws
such as the Comprehensive Agrarian Reform Law or RA 6657 as amended by RA 9700, the Agriculture and
Fisheries Modernization Act (AFMA) and other rules and regulations on land use which stipulate the areas
to be protected from changing the current use of agricultural lands into some other uses.
For Angeles City, the protected areas include the following: parks, open spaces, buffer zones, rivers and
creeks, environmentally-constrained areas (Abacan River), protected agricultural lands, and the
Sapangbato watershed reserve, among others. The city’s protected lands have an aggregated area of
about 1,305.82 hectares representing about 21.01 percent of the city’s total land area.
Settlement Areas
Angeles City’s settlement areas comprise the residential portion of the built-up. These are the built
houses, private subdivisions, resettlement sites, socialized housing, and public housing areas, among
others. This land use category has an aggregate area of about 2,941.90 hectares representing 47.32
percent of the city’s total land area.
Production Areas
Production areas include commercial/mix use, industrial zones, agricultural lands, protected agricultural
lands, tourism and eco-tourism areas, and manufacturing areas. This land use category has an aggregate
area of about 1,257.64 hectares representing about 20.23 percent of the city’s total land area.
Infrastructure Areas
Economic, social, and administrative infrastructure of utilities and the amount of land they occupy form
the infrastructure areas. Infrastructure facilities have an aggregatearea of about 712.01
hectares representing 11.45 percent of the city’s total land area
