Governor’s Message
Driving results in an environment of ever-increasing change requires collective

dynamism. Acknowledging change and using it to our advantage may be difficult in the
beginning, but the effort we exert in coming up with new ways of achieving our goals
will be rewarded with great results. As we give way to an approach that facilitates a
more meaningful interaction with our beloved kababayans, we make them active and
effective contributors to the province’s over-all development. This promotes co-
ownership and synergizes every Oriental Mindoreños dedicated effort towards a
common goal.
This PDPFP summarizes our shared aspirations and combined potential and
verbalizes our mutual commitment to 1) place a special emphasis on the most critical
development needs of our province; 2) build on our resource inventories by
maintaining a rational balance between conservation and production, and; 3) recognize
the unique development requirements of each municipality and city and integrate their
respective methodologies to further enhance the pro-growth dimension of governance.
My heartfelt gratitude and warmest congratulations go out to the dedicated

public servants of this provincial government, and to all the selfless individuals who
have greatly contributed to the crafting of this plan. I share your commitment and
dedication in providing a better and brighter future for our beloved province. May we
continue to stand united in this noble quest for social progress, dahil tayo ang
pagbabagong ating inaasam.
Mabuhay tayong lahat!
GOVERNOR HUMERLITO A. DOLOR, MPA, Ph.D.

Vice President for Luzon South, League of Provinces of the Philippines
Vice Governor’s Message
As we look forward to our immediate and long term Development Plan for
Oriental Mindoro, we are guided by the concept of a multidisciplinary and
interdependent plan of approach, anchored on entrepreneurship, innovation, and
superior management.
The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2016–2025 is a strategic vision with a
clear and feasible roadmap, directions on achievable outputs and a full potential for sustainable
development. It aims to implement a resilient, inclusive, economically viable and environmentally friendly
approach to augment the narrowing development gaps on the areas of Land Use, Protection and
Production, Settlements and Infrastructure. The Plan underscores priority reforms to help the province
achieve its aspired prosperity.
Under the present PDPFP, there shall be a more accessible and streamlined rules and procedures
to integrate more small and medium sized enterprises to jumpstart community based industries.
Transportation shall be improved through developments of air routes, airport facilities, ferry services,
roads, bridges and other related infrastructures, thus providing multimodal connections. There shall be a
formidable and uncompromising approach to unequivocally improve our power situation. This shall
include a bigger area of interconnection and rural electrification. We shall also scale up the development
and availability of renewable energy alternatives, as well as encourage the practice of conservation
measures. There shall be a sustained, competitive and more climate resilient production practices on the
areas of agriculture and fishing industries. We envision to improve connectivity to tourist destinations,
support green ecotourism and sustainable tourism-based livelihoods.
Now more than ever, we shall strengthen our educational institutions, human resources, including
information and communications technology system. We shall address and provide a bigger approach to
infrastructure, to address the continuing and growing need for human settlements. An integrated and
comprehensive primary care and a viable and available public health care services shall be provided to all
families and communities. We shall also encourage an established self-care and self-reliance program to
augment and alleviate the heavy requirements of health intervention to our population.
And then the environment. A broad and diversified program of conservation shall be a pivotal
policy of the province. We shall be committed to a staunch, a resolute and a tenable program of
environmental protection.
The PDPFP 2016-2025 was conceived as a covenant to the people and Province of Oriental
Mindoro, in adherence to social justice, equity and duty. It is based on the conviction that the enjoyment of
the highest quality of life is without distinction, a right of every citizen of Oriental Mindoro.
It is my belief that there is no reason why we cannot succeed, for as long as we labour together and
we stay true to our oath.
My warmest regards to all and may God bless Oriental Mindoro!
ATTY. ANTONIO S. PEREZ, JR.

Vice Governor

ORIENTAL MINDORO
Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan 2016-2025
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) for Oriental Mindoro is a long
term planning document covering the period 2016-2025. While the analyses of the planning
environment and the physical framework extends beyond the three-year political term of the
Governor and one full term of national leadership, the programs, projects and activities are
proposed to be implemented within the short-to-medium term in consideration of the three-year
minimum term of the political leadership. At the provincial level, the PDPFP will guide the policy
formulation and implementation of development programs, projects and activities. At the
municipal level, the plan will serve as the framework for the formulation/updating of the LGUs’
comprehensive land use plans.
The PDPFP is anchored on the vision of “By 2025, Oriental Mindoro is a food base exporting high
value agri-products, the preferred agri-eco-tourism destination in MIMAROPA and with an
environment conducive for investments.”
LAND USE AND PHYSICAL FRAMEWORK

The PDPFP 2016-2025 uses the Sustainable Development Goals and the Philippine Development
Goals as its framework for inclusive growth and sustainable development. It is driven by long
term goals, specific objectives and targets, strategies and programs and projects that will put
Mindoro Island in a path towards modernization in the medium term.
The province will pursue sustainable economic growth and development, improved quality of life
of its constituents, and empowerment of the vulnerable and marginalized. It shall focus on
strengthening the economy, accelerating infrastructure development, improving delivery of
quality social services, leveling up the performance to increase the competitiveness of the
industries and enterprises, and conserving and protecting the natural resources and the
environment.
As espoused under the Advancing Philippine Competitiveness Project towards Inclusive Growth
in the Island of Mindoro, the development framework focuses on accelerated poverty reduction.
The overall physical framework will be guided by a strategy of urbanization, agri-
industrialization, and environmental conservation cum eco-tourism development.
SETTLEMENTS FRAMEWORK
By 2025, Calapan City, Pinamalayan and Roxas will remain as Primary Urban Center B (Large
Town) and Secondary Urban Center A (Medium Town), respectively. Baco is the only
municipality to be reclassified from Tertiary Urban Center (Village) to a Secondary Urban
Center B (Small Town). The rest of the municipalities will be categorized as Secondary Urban
Centers A and B based on the criteria set for hierarchy of urban centers. These classifications
are indicative as the hierarchy of settlements will be based on LGU programs and policies as
well as the interventions and innovations undertaken by local government units and other
stakeholders. Calapan City being MIMAROPA’s Regional Government Center is expected to
encourage population influx and enhance local commerce, trade and industry.
The uncontrolled urban expansion into production and protection lands noted in some
municipalities will have significant impacts on the likely settlement pattern of the province by
2025. The population in remote/rural barangays has limited access to services because the
availability of basic services and economic opportunities are mostly concentrated in urban areas.
xiv
Executive Summary
The Settlements Framework of Oriental Mindoro gives emphasis to urban and rural development.
Urban development entails transforming Calapan City, Pinamalayan and Roxas into highly
urbanized, socio-economically progressive settlements. These areas are envisioned to be the
center of tertiary level services for education, health and social welfare.
Rural development will support the establishment of integrated clusters of activity/economic

center, which will form part of the Oriental Mindoro Integrated Area Development Cluster
highlighting the potentials of each municipality. This will consider the identification and
development of investment centers in strategic areas serving as economic growth nodes. Given
their distinctive physical endowments and economic attributes, each municipality would have its
role and industry specialization based on their comparative advantage and levels in urban
hierarchy.
PROTECTION LAND FRAMEWORK

The province’s natural physical resources include land and water, which have to be protected.
Major categories of protection lands are: 1) National Integrated Protected Areas System (NIPAS)
such as Naujan Lake National Park and Mt. Iglit-Baco National Park; 2) Non-NIPAS consisting of
areas under 1000 meter elevation, with slope of 50% and above, mangrove forests, buffer strips
along rivers and escarpments, freshwater swamps and marshes, lakes and other inland water
bodies, and severely eroded areas; 3) Strategic Agriculture and Fisheries Development Zones
(SAFDZ) and the 4) Environmentally Constrained Areas (ECAs) which generally include areas
prone to natural hazards.
The province is vulnerable to storm surges, liquefaction and lateral spreading, earthquakes
leading to tsunamis, and landslides. To counter the adverse effects of geological and climate-
related hazards, Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Local Climate Change Action Plans
have to be formulated.
The Protection Land Framework will adopt the Environmental Conservation cum Eco-Tourism
Development Strategy, focusing on a long-term scheme of ensuring proper agricultural resource
management and environmental protection and conservation while improving the socio-
economic conditions of the people. The goal is to utilize protection lands in a manner or at such
intensity that it will not deteriorate and lose its original productive capacity and natural
characteristics.
Degraded protection lands, marine/coastal resources and tourism enterprise zones will be
rehabilitated for ecological diversity restoration and eco-tourism development. Development
activities on environment conservation sector would include effective land use planning,
sustained implementation of protection/conservation-related projects, strengthening of multi-
sectoral environmental/tourism councils, strict enforcement of existing laws, rules and
regulations and awareness through social marketing.
Other equally important activities are the identification and documentation of the biological
richness of the forest and marine/coastal ecosystems and the assessment of the climate change
vulnerability and its importance to critical resource base and habitat.
xv
Executive Summary
PRODUCTION LAND FRAMEWORK

The local economy of the province is predominantly agriculture which is mainly focused on the
agri–fishery, livestock, dairy and poultry production and diversification.
Oriental Mindoro is now rising as the strategic gateway for trade and investments in the eastern
part of the country. The province is the second investment choice of micro, small and medium
enterprises (MSMEs) in the MIMAROPA region. Among the proposed interventions to spin-off
trade and investment is the establishment of the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas branch in Oriental
Mindoro.
The Production Land Framework will focus on the promotion of sustainable agriculture wherein
farming practices and technologies are economically viable and environmentally sound.
Construction/rehabilitation of national, communal, and small irrigation projects to increase area
coverage shall be undertaken.
Agri-industrialization shall be carried out through intensification of agricultural production and

productivity for the establishment of manufacturing/processing industries for finished/semi-
finished products targeting to support not only domestic but also international markets. The
value chain approach shall be adopted wherein a series of actors and relevant stakeholders are
involved in the activities required from production to its end use. This will help local enterprises
to be more competitive and generate sustainable jobs and income.
Provision of other infrastructure support by the government and private sector through Public-
Private Partnership (PPP) in terms of adequate, reliable and affordable supply of power, reliable
communications network and integrated transport facilities is also essential to agri-industrial
development. Research, Development and Extension will also play an important role since it
introduces and utilizes appropriate technologies to ensure competitiveness of agri-processed
products.
Due to the province’s vulnerability to climate change impacts and all types of hazards, there is a
need to use climate-resilient varieties and appropriate agricultural technologies. Construction of
climate resilient agri-fishery infrastructure is also recommended.
Implementation of comprehensive agricultural development program, investment and enterprise

development programs would be sustained. In addition, marine spatial plans in all coastal
municipalities, which is ecosystem-based, area-based, integrated, adaptive, strategic and
participatory will be formulated to sustainably manage marine resources.
Tourism plays a major contribution in the province’s socio-economic growth with the
development and promotion of diverse natural and man-made tourist destinations and rich
cultural and historical attractions. Construction/upgrading of tourism-related infrastructure/
facilities/utilities through PPP and institutionalization of tourism stakeholders’ participation can
boost the industry.
Clustered approach for tourism development will be adopted. The implementation of the
Provincial Tourism Master Plan will serve as the road map for a vibrant and sustainable tourism
development in the province.
Infrastructure support for tourism development involves construction/improvement/

accreditation of tourism facilities/amenities such as hotels/inns, cottages, playgrounds, among
others and establishment of “pasalubong” centers in all municipalities to promote the province’s
agri-processed products shall be facilitated.
xvi
Executive Summary
INFRASTRUCTURE FRAMEWORK
This framework focuses on the infrastructure requirements of the various sectors and the
efficient provision of and access to infrastructure and community services. Amenities in terms of
improved transport and communication, health, education, housing, social welfare, protective
and security, and public utilities such as water supply, power, flood control and waste
management will be given emphasis.
The province has a major role for the connectivity and seamless travel being part of the Strong
Republic Nautical Highway. Concerned national government agencies, local governments and the
private sector should implement strategies to meet the existing and future demand for land, sea
and air transport.
Identified among priority development agenda for the Mindoro Island connectivity and
accessibility include the completion of the circumferential road, inter-provincial circumferential
railway system, new cross country road (Victoria or Bansud-Sablayan), super bridge connecting
Barangay Ilijan of Batangas and Barangay Sinandigan, Puerto Galera, consolidation of ports in
Puerto Galera, with Balatero as a single point of entry and exit, proposed establishment of cargo
ports in Lazareto, Calapan City and Mansalay, and expansion of Calapan Port.
The Oriental Mindoro Provincial Hospital though secondary in classification, is currently

operating as tertiary hospital and is being considered for conversion into a Regional Hospital.
With the expected enrolment increase in all levels, construction/improvement/expansion of

existing facilities and provision of additional infrastructure support services and facilities are
required, particularly in the major growth centers.
By 2025, a total of 60,968 housing units must be constructed to cope with the expected increase
in population. Additional core-housing/socialized housing programs through PPP need to be
implemented. Relocation sites should be acquired for resettlement of informal settlers.
The province is relatively peaceful despite low police force to population ratio. Through
continuous recruitment program of the Philippine National Police, it is expected that the
minimum standard ratio will be achieved by year 2025.
The strategy considers expansion/improvement of existing Level III water systems in the
province particularly those found in Calapan City, Pinamalayan and Roxas. Upgrading of existing
Level II to Level III water facilities will also be considered. Further, it is proposed that a sewerage
treatment facility will be installed in urban areas.
The power and energy situation is still far from ideal although there are abundant renewable
power sources. There is a possibility that the province can be connected to mainland Luzon and
be one of the major suppliers of electricity for Luzon main grid. By 2025, it is expected that all
households are energized. To attain this, the plan includes development of indigenous/
renewable energy sources such as hydro, solar, geothermal, biomass and wind energy through
PPP. Likewise, installation of major transmission and distribution lines along with the
establishment and upgrading of power substations shall also be undertaken.
The construction of additional flood control structures, drainage structure facilities and
establishment of vegetative measures are necessary to protect lives, crops and properties of the
populace. Priority intervention is the joint initiative of the Mindoro provinces to pursue
Integrated Water Resource Management Program.
xvii
Executive Summary
Several solid waste management (SWM) issues identified include non-segregation, inefficient
garbage collection, burning of wastes, absence of required SWM facilities and non-
functional/inactive SWM Boards. Sanitary landfills and material recovery facilities shall be
established through clustering. IEC activities on the adoption of zero-waste management
practices shall be intensified.
There is a need to facilitate the formulation and implementation of the Ancestral Domain and
Sustainable Development Protection Plan (ADSDPP), Comprehensive Development Plan for the
Disadvantaged Sector, Updating of Provincial Development Plan for Children and Comprehensive
Development Plan for Indigenous Peoples.
It is assumed that by 2025, the whole province shall be Information, Communication and
Technology (ICT)-enabled, thus, adequate and efficient services and facilities are necessary. In
consonance, the plan will also consider database establishment, LGU shared services, center and
agri info hub, access to internet and other national and international communication arteries
constituting the worldwide-web.

ORIENTAL MINDORO
Introduction
Part
Introduction 1
1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
1.1 ORIGIN
The first inhabitants of Mindoro were Indonesians and Malays who came to the
island from Southeast Asia around 8,000 to 3,000 B.C. The Malays were believed to have
extensive cultural contact with India, Arabia and China before they settled in the Philippine
archipelago. This made Mindoro possible to foster trade relations with China as early as
892 A.D., long before the Spaniards discovered the Philippines.
Mindoro was first discovered by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, the first Spanish
Governor General of the Philippines. It was formerly integrated into the province of Bonbon
(Batangas) together with Marinduque, and was made a separate province in the beginning
of the 17th century. The island was divided into pueblos headed by a gobernadorcillo, and
composed of several barangays headed by a cabeza de barangay. Minolo (now Puerto
Galera) was then the provincial capital, followed by Baco, and finally Calapan-founded in
1679 as a result of conflict between the Recollect priests and the Provincial Governor.
1.2 YEAR FOUNDED

With the defeat of the Spanish forces came the American regime. Social and
economic changes resulted from this transition; more significant were political changes,
specifically in local government affairs, which led to the separation of Mindoro from
Marinduque in 1902, of which it was then a sub-province. Mindoro was finally declared a
regular province in 1921, following a series of administrative moves that served as political
mechanism towards the establishment of the province.
World War II wrought heavy damages, death and pain to the people of Mindoro.
After the war, reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts took place, which eventually led to
the division of the island into two separate provinces of Oriental Mindoro and Occidental
Mindoro on June 13, 1950. This was finally signed into law through Republic Act 505 by the
President of the Philippines on November 15, 1950.
The island provinces of Oriental Mindoro, Occidental Mindoro, Marinduque,

Romblon and Palawan formed in early 1996 a new socio-economic aggrupation acronymed
as MIMAROPA. This is the counterpart of the CALABARZON industrial growth area
composed of the mainland provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Aurora, Batangas, Rizal and Quezon.
It was on May 17, 2002, by virtue of Executive Order No. 103, that Region IV was
divided into Region IV-A known as CALABARZON and Region IV-B known as MIMAROPA.
On July 17, 2016 Republic Act No. 10879 officially established MIMAROPA Region.
1
Part I. Introduction
To promote regional development, foster efficient and effective delivery of

government services, and spur and accelerate growth in the region, Calapan City was
designated as the MIMAROPA Regional Government Center under Executive Order No. 682
on November 22, 2007.
1.3 ETYMOLOGY
Legend has it that long before the Spaniards discovered the Philippines, Mindoro
was already among the islands that enchanted pilgrims from other countries. It was said
that vast wealth was buried in the area, and mystic temples of gold and images of anitos
bedecked the sacred grounds of this relatively unknown land. Believing that the island had
large deposits of gold, the Spaniards named it "Mina de Oro”.
1.4 CULTURE AND TRADITIONS
The Mindoreños are warm, friendly and hospitable people.
The province has the Mangyans as its Indigenous Peoples with seven ethno-linguistic
groups. Most of them have settled in the mountainous areas of the province’s 14
municipalities.
The principal language in Oriental Mindoro is Tagalog although in the southern part
is greatly influenced by the Visayan languages. Its people are also equally conversant in
English.
The common religion is Roman Catholic with some independent sects like Iglesia ni
Cristo, Independent and Baptist churches.
Oriental Mindoro has 16 festivals. Pandang Gitab or “Festival of Lights” is the official
festival of the province per Provincial Ordinance No. 25-2012 which is celebrated with a
street dance.
2. PLAN OBJECTIVES AND CONTEXT

The PDPFP shall serve as guide in realizing the vision for the Province of Oriental
Mindoro and the attainment of the development objectives and targets through the
strategies to be pursued within the plan period (2016-2025). Its specific objectives are:
a. To formulate the overall vision for the province;

b. To formulate the overall development framework for the province as defined in
its Vision and Goals, Objectives, Targets and Strategies (GOTS);
c. To translate the Vision into implementable strategies towards the attainment of
GOTS;
d. To identify programs and projects consistent with these strategies; and
e. To provide a spatial/physical presentation of the plan components.
The PDPFP is the key link between the national, regional, and city/municipal plans.
The Programs/Projects/Activities (PPAs), which have been derived from the PDPFP, will be
the basis in the preparation of Provincial Development Investment Program/Annual
Investment Program (PDIP/AIP), budgeting and implementation.
2
3. COVERAGE OF THE PLAN
3.1 HISTORICAL COVERAGE
The PDPFP is a 10-year long-term development plan covering the period 2016-
2025 coinciding with the three three-year political terms of the Governor, and can be
aligned with a full term of the national leadership.
3.2 GEOGRAPHICAL COVERAGE
The plan covers the entire province of Oriental Mindoro, which, for planning
purposes, will be subdivided into five, integrated area development clusters based on the
proximity of municipalities to each other (Map i) and the economic potential of each
municipality.
The municipalities in the north and south tourism clusters are located along
beaches, rivers, and waterfalls (especially the north tourism cluster). Puerto Galera boasts
of the pristine waters of its beaches, and while spillover effects of development
(e.g., construction of hotels and business establishments) in this area could reach Baco and
San Teodoro, both have potential tourist spots, historical and cultural sites. Although
Bulalacao has many islands and islets, it also has sunken churches for those who are
interested in culture. Production of mangoes in Bulalacao, Roxas, and Mansalay also proved
to be useful in tourism.
The Naujan Lake Development cluster banks on the potential of Naujan Lake and its
surrounding areas to provide rest and recreation sites (a part of which is to be developed
as a retirement facility). Aside from the lake itself, there are church ruins and industrial
tourist spots (e.g., aquatic farm, butterfly sanctuary, etc.) in the area. Archaeological sites
are located in Pola, along with old churches and houses.
Municipalities in the agri-industrial cluster are stable producers of key agricultural

and industrial products. Investments in small and communal irrigation systems should be
considered in these municipalities. Taking into account the agricultural potential of each
municipality under the One Town-One Product strategy, Pinamalayan would lead the
production of fresh and processed fruits. Bongabong and Gloria would yield coco- and
bamboo- based products, respectively, and Bansud would produce fresh bananas. The
three municipalities also yield high volume of corn produce. Bongabong is the province’s
top producer of bangus and dairy products, as the Philippine Carabao Center is located in
the municipality. Gloria and Bongabong also produce livestock and poultry, and artificial
insemination programs are implemented to upgrade animal breeds and ensure genetic
improvement of stock. Bansud could boost the livestock industry due to the presence of
auction market and enterprises engaged in meat processing. Rice-, banana-, coconut-, and
forest-based industries are also abundant in these municipalities.
The provincial government will continue supporting the thriving economies of each
municipality; however, in planning the development goals of the province, it would be more
useful to cluster the municipalities according to their economic potential through which
plans and projects can be aligned. As it stands, agri-industrial and tourism are the strongest
potential economies of the province. It is the aim of this development plan to encourage
partnerships and collaboration among clustered municipalities to accomplish the
province’s development goals.

The planning environment of the PDPFP includes the major development of the
province. The guidelines on the Provincial Local Planning and Expenditure Management
(PLPEM) Volume II served as reference with the following core elements:
Core Element Sector

Population Population
Economic Activity Agriculture, fisheries, forestry, trade, industry, services, tourism
Physical Resources Environment, natural resources
Transportation, Access and Circulation Transport
Health, education, housing, social welfare, public works, energy,
Income/Access to Services security, other services and facilities (for community groups such
as the elderly, children, indigenous peoples, etc.)

4. OUTLINE OF THE PLAN

The PDPFP consists of five (5) major parts, namely:
a. Introduction. This includes the historical background of the province, plan

objectives and context, coverage and outline of the plan.
b. Vision. The province’s vision is a general statement describing the role of the
province in the wider region. Specifically, its sectoral aspirations describe the
desired ideal characteristics of the province as a place for living and as a place for
making a living in terms of individual and social traits of the people, the character
of the economy, the character of the natural and built environment, and the
qualities of local governance and leadership. This was crafted by a Technical
Working Group and adopted by the Provincial Development Council (PDC) on
February 2013. However, the vision was modified in 2016 to make it strategically
focused and aligned with prevalent trends within the whole region and is
anchored on effective micro level strategies and programs towards development
outcomes that are truly inclusive and felt by the people of Oriental Mindoro. The
vision statement sets the policy direction for the provincial development
initiatives.
c. Planning Environment. This part describes the profile and analyzes the social,
economic, and physical environment of the province to understand its current
development status, potentials, and challenges. The resulting analysis from this
chapter will serve as the basis for identifying development issues in the province
and formulating goals, objectives, targets, and strategies to address these issues.
d. Development Issues/Goals, Objectives, Targets, Strategies, Programs/

Projects. This part discusses the issues and concerns as identified in the planning
environment. This contains the strategies, plans, programs, and activities to
address the development issues and concerns. The PPAs serve as inputs to the
formulation of investment programs for the province.
e. Implementation. This part describes that institutional, political and

administrative arrangements for implementing the PDPFP.
5
5. PLAN PREPARATION PROCESS AND LINKAGES

The preparation of this PDPFP is undertaken through a participatory and
consultative process, enjoining the Provincial Governor, Provincial Development Council,
lower LGUs and representatives from development sectors (government including line
agencies and provincial counterparts and non-government organizations) in the province.
