I. PROFILE OF LILIW
A. Project Area Profile
1. Location and Connectivity
It is situated in province of Laguna at 280 44’ N latitude and 770 47’ Longitude. The city is well
connected with important cities of country. National Highway-24, Delhi-Lukhnau-Muradabad passes
through Hapur. National Highway -18, Merath-Bulandsahar also passes through Hapur city. The main Rail
Line Delhi- Lukhnau-Hawra also passes through Hapur city. Hapur is also connected with rail to Merath
and Bulandsahar. Hapur city is 54 Km from Delhi, 32 Km from Merath, 39 Km from Bulandsahar and 432
Km from Lukhnau.

2. Climate
Rainy months in Liliw are during June- November. The average temperature is 27°C. The wind in
40% days is from north, north-west and west direction: on 20% days the wind blows in east and south-
east direction

3. Topography
Liliw is situated along the foot of Mount Banahaw and is located 14 kilometers from Sta. Cruz, the
Capital of Laguna. On its west is the Municipality of Nagcarlan, the Municipality of Majayjay on its east,
Pila on its north-west, Magdalena on the north-east and Mount Banahaw on the south. This meek
municipality is comprising 33 barangays as it has a total land area of 5,680.65 hectares.

In the Barangay Development Planning through Participatory Rural Appraisal, the Municipality of
Liliw is subdivided into two major categories: the urban area of Liliw, which is appropriately called the
Poblacion is composed of the barangays Bagong-anyo, Masikap, Maslun, Pag-asa and Rizal. The urban
area (Poblacion) covers a total land area of 23.31 hectares equivalent to 0.59% of the total alienable and
disposable area of the municipality. Thus, the rural area of Liliw is composed of Bayate, Bubukal, Bungkol,
Cabuyew, Calumpang, Culoy, Dagatan, Daniw, Dita, Ibabang Palina, Ibabang San Roque, Ibabang Sungi,
Iabang Tayking, Ilayang Palina, Ilayang San Roque, Ilayang Sungi, Ilayang Taykin, Kanlurang Bukal, Laguan,
Luquin, Malabo-kalantukan, Mojon, Novaliches, Oples, Palayan, San Isidro, Silangang Bukal, and Tuy-
Baanan. It covers a total land area of 3,931.07 hectares or 99.41% of the alienable and disposable area of
the municipality.

Being part of the Mount Banahaw and San Cristobal National Park, the municipality of Liliw has
an area of 1726.27 within the protected area and is bound to be under the protection of the NIPAs.

4. Socio-economic Conditions
The Local Government of Liliw has a transparent social welfare services to its people which
includes but are not limited to senior citizens, students, day care children, person with disabilities, solo
parents, 4P’s beneficiaries and even those in the special cases program. Along with the Municipal Police
Station, Rural Health Unit and MEO, programs and social welfare advocacies are made possible.
Correspondingly, the leading clienteles are those senior citizens and 4P’s beneficiaries.

At present there is an active police presence in the area despite the insufficiency of police personnel.
Moreover, the Mayor’s Action Team and Barangay Tanod Services reinforces law enforcement and
maintenance of peace and order in the municipality on the other hand, for the past five years, there had
only been ten incidents of fire in the locality. In 2013 and 2016 there had no fire incident. Whereas in
2014, five fire incidents transpired which are mainly caused by overheated electric fan, electrical short
circuit, unattended lighted candle, alleged arson and incendiary. In 2015, there had been two fire incidents
due to electrical short circuit and incendiary. In 2017, there had been three fire incidents which originated
from electrical short circuit and spontaneous combustion. One incident had an undetermined cause of
fire.

When it comes to local economy, Liliw is highlighting its developmental goals on footwear
industry, agriculture and tourism, having a traditionally agricultural cultural background and farming as
the primary form of living. The two major crops in the area are rice and banana. On trade and industry,
the economic activities related to wholesale and retail have a boosting income-generating business,
however, there is a decrease of 8.5% in the number of establishments and employment in 2016. The
leading industrial business is footwear manufacturing business. The presence of footwear-making support
facilities and programs has progressed in this field; consequently, the LGU has close ties with DTI with
regards to the marketing assistance of local footwear makers. Tourism, on the other hand, has profoundly
been exhibiting a lot of potentials with regards to the municipality’s economic status with the increasing
number of resorts and recreational areas, the Kilangin Falls, strawberry farms and diners within the town.
Cultural tourism is also a contributing factor. The Liliw Tsinelas Festival during the month of April has
withstandingly emerged overtime and has won several awards from the ATOP including the Pearl Award
for Best Festival in the Municipal Level Nationwide. Nevertheless, infrastructural projects such as the
proposed upgrading and rehabilitation of the Liliw Public Market and the construction of the Slaughter
House is envisioned to significantly help the town’s economy.

Hence, the entire municipal population is powered by MERALCO which its primary electricity
provider is. In order to spur continuous and regulated development in the municipality of Liliw, the
incorporation of the newly formulated and revised Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 17) spearheaded
by the United Nations is undertaken. The SDG 17 focuses on alleviating poverty and ensuring safe and
healthy life with of course under several sub-components like gender equality, sustainable environmental
management and achievement of equal rights. Sectoral-based development is necessary for the
envisioned growth of development in the municipality.

The Municipality’s vision is formulated in consonance with the economic, cultural and moral
primacies of Liliw. The municipality purports to be the Footwear Capital of the Philippines as it
strengthens and enhances both its manpower and economic potential to be the prolific footwear supplier
in the country by 2027. Nevertheless, as Liliw is largely an agricultural area, it also aspires to be the
Vegetable Bowl of the region as the municipality’s agricultural economy is among the primary ventures
alongside. Salient points are sourced out to come up with the sectoral priority which includes issuing
various developmental potentials which includes its potential for expansion as a business district;
presence of fertile soil and ideal climate for food production; strategic geographical location being the
gateway of the region to some of the famous tourism sites in the province like Kilangin Falls, Lolo Kap’s
Strawberry Farms, footwear district and various riverfront and scenic resorts; the strong labor force and
human resource and diverse and increasing agricultural production. Consequently, one of the
municipality’s significant goals is to harness and utilize renewable energy sources such as wind and solar
energy to mitigate the damaging effects of climate change. With all these strengths, the municipal
government of Liliw has continuously been establishing linkages with various government agencies both
local, national and even global to empower the business, economic, tourist and agriculture sectors of the
municipality. Hence, the municipality is aiming to employ all its human, physical and material resources
to equip the Liliweños with disaster-resiliency and preparedness with an ecologically-balanced
environment conducive for progression, peace, collaborative action and competence towards
empowered citizenry.

The existing land use (2017) from Google Satellite Image and ground validation on 2017 showed
that the total urban use areas is 174.17 hectares which is composed of cemeteries, parks and open spaces,
residential, commercial, industrial and institutional areas; forest use is at 1,726.27 hectares which is
protection forests; agricultural use with a total of 3,745.38 hectares including prime agricultural area for
rice, rice lands, and mixed crops land; roads for infrastructural use has an aggregate of 34.83 hectares.
The proposed land uses assumed that population growth will tend to locate along the national road,
accessibility to basic social services like power and potable water will be considered for urban growth,
tourism and agricultural development will still be the backbone of local economy and lastly, local actions
related to protection and conservation will enhance the economic value of natural environment of the
municipality. Designated growth areas are directed at Ilayang Taykin, Ibabang Taykin and Calumpang.

5. History and Culture

In a manuscript written by Juan Masulong, a son of Gat Tayaw, the founder of the town, which
was found in the Spanish Archives in Spain by Dr. Gregorio C. Borlaza, a noted historian and educator from
Liliw, it was recounted that when the Spaniards arrived in Bay, Laguna in 1571, Juan Masulong, together
with other notables from the neighboring communities went to Bay, he was baptized by Fr. Martin de
Rada of Augustinian Order. Thus, Juan Masulong was the first native of Liliw to become a Christian. He
told the Spaniards that he came from the flourishing, developed and organized community situated at the
Mount Banahaw. Three days after his baptism, Masulong was told by the Spaniards to retum to Liliw and
tell the people to gather and meet them peacefully.

Although all the natives were baptized during the early part of the Spanish regime, the town did
not have permanent parish. From 1578 – 1605, the people had to go to Nagcarlan every Sunday and during
feast of different saints to attend to their religious obligations. Because of this inconvenience, the people
petitioned the Father Provincial, Fr. Hernando de Morga, to assign a priest and make Liliw a permanent
parish. The petition was granted and assigned Fr. Miguel de San Juan. From then on, Liliw became a regular
parish under the patronage of St. John the Baptist. In 1612, during the term of Padre Kalenton as Kapitan
Municipal, the construction of wooden church was started. The foundation of the concrete church was
laid down during the term of Antonio Kohaguit in 1635. In 1639 the adjacent convent was build when
Francisco Camera de Maide de Dios was the parish priest. In 1898, the church was badly damage by fire
but it was been restored immediately.

In 1896, wearied by the oppressive rule of the Spaniards, the Filipinos revolted. Many natives of
the town joined the Katipunan. Later on, after the surrender of the Spanish forces to the Americans, a
number of the surviving Katipuneros joined Philippine Army to fought against the Americans. One of the
highlights of the town’s history during this period was the visit of Governor General William Howard Taft
that happened in 1903. As an added attraction, a bamboo tower called torre ippel was constructed in
front of the town hall. The name of the the town “Lilio”, that derived from the humming sound of a bird
“ilio –ilio” who hummed the word “iliw iliw iliw” has been approved. And on June 11, 1965, the name
“Lilio” was changed to “Liliw” under Municipal Resolution No. 38 and approved by the Provincial Board
under Resolution No. 1096-S-1965.

B. Municipal Services
1. Water Supply
In reference to R.A. 9275 or also known as the clean water act of 2004, the municipality purports
to provide clean water to all its consumers and has been employing its means to do so specially to prevent
water pollution in all its bodies within its vicinity. The municipality of Liliw is served with Level III water
system. The source for Level III Water System was drawn from the natural springs of Sirian Spring located
at Barangay Ilayang Sungi, Gawanan Spring and Luquin Spring in barangay Luquin that provides water
service to the upland and low land barangays of Liliw residents. The municipal waterworks system will
construct a new master plan that will efficiently provide water from the upland barangays down to the
low land barangays. A better water supply system will be constructed in order to better provide the
effective and efficient delivery of water service in the whole municipality. Thus, all the barangays
in the municipality is serviced with water supply. Hence, the domestic consumption from Sirian Spring
with 6,005 connections and 270,225 gallons per day dominates over the commercial consumption from
Sirian Spring of the municipality with only 48 connections and 4,800 gallons per day.

On the other hand, the barangays with their own water systems chiefly utilize them for the
domestic consumption with 1,134 connections and 51,030 gallons per day. Consequently, there is a total
of 7,139 water connections and 321,255 gallons per day within the municipality.

2. Sewerage
The sewerage system in Liliw are outdated open canals constructed during 1950s. There is no
Sewerage treatment facility in the town. Most of the old houses in the municipality doesn’t have septic
tanks and sewage materials are directly disposed to the public sewers. That is why the office of the
building official requires all new structures to have septic tanks. The municipality plans to construct a
centralized sewage treatment facility that will cater the waste of the población are (Maslun, Bagong-anyo,
Rizal, Pag-asa, Masikap).

3. Solid Waste Management

Solid waste management is looked by the Municipality through the MENRO. There are no proper
land fill site within the municipality that is why the municipality dumps its solid waste through private
sanitary landfill.

II. ASSESSMENT OF EXISTING SYSTEM

A. Overview
The Town encompasses 5,680.65 ha, whereas the Master Plan area is about 3954.38 ha. The
average elevation of the Town is 226 m above the Sea Level. The general topography of the town is rolling
and hilly having steep slopes towards Mt. Banahaw.

B. Major Drains in Población

There are seventeen (17) major drains flowing through población. The streets of Luna, Burgos,
Rizal, Gat-tayaw, Del Pilar and Mabini all have drains in both sides of the road. There are also drains serving
as boundaries for barangays: Maslun and Bagong-anyo, Bagong-anyo and Rizal, Rizal and Pag-asa, and
Pagasa and Masikap.

All the drains ultimately flow into Maimpis river, which is at the north-east of the town. The details
of map of these drains are shown below:

(i) Boundary between Brgy. Maslun and Brgy. Bagong-anyo.

(ii) Boundary between Brgy. Bagong-anyo and Brgy. Rizal.

(iii) Boundary between Brgy. Rizal and Brgy. Pag-asa.

(iv) Boundary between Brgy. Pag-asa and Brgy. Masikap.

These are the drains which has most problematic areas and particularly in absence of the
sewerage system the drain acts as sewer line. More than 50% of houses connected to these drains,
particularly old houses, doesn’t have septic tanks.

C. Major Cross Connections to Sewers

In absence of the sewerage system all trough out población, the drains act as carrier of waste
water. The drains in poblacion takes the sewer of Barangay Maslun, Bagong-anyo, Rizal, Pag-asa, and
Masikap to the Mamalin River as shown in Figure 1 Layout of Existing Drains 2019

Figure 1 Layout of Existing Drains 2019

D. Current and Future needs

Challenges

The drainage sub sector suffers from three key challenges. In the first place, the existing system
in población accommodates both liquid waste and storm water. Significant number of the existing old
houses in the población lacks septic tank and space for constructing one, thus discharging waste directly
to the body of water. Finally, old buildings outside población lacks septic tanks but has sufficient space for
accommodating one.

Key problem 1: The existing system in población accommodates both liquid waste and storm water.

The town of Liliw was constructed in a grid pattern, which means that it resembles a net when
viewed from above. The lack of proper urban planning during the 1900s resulted to having a drainage
canals being built in front and to the rear of housing blocks which can be shown in Figure 1 Layout of
Existing Drains 2019

Figure 1 Layout of Existing Drains 2019. This only means that houses that were built during this
period Constructed their “Kubeta” above these drainage canals. The surface runoff that drains to the
canals now mixes with the liquid waste of these “Kubetas”. Nowadays, both the liquid waste and the
surface water runoff still utilizes the same canal.

Key problem 2: Significant number of the existing old houses in the población lacks septic tank and space
for constructing one, thus discharging waste directly to the body of water.

Being a town established during the Spanish Regime, the población of Liliw has a large number of
ancestral houses. Most of the old houses built before year 2000 do not have proper water treatment
facilities. Houses that are being renovated or constructed in the población area nowadays are being
required to provide septic tanks but there are still significant number of old houses which does not have
proper liquid waste treatment.

Key problem 3: Old buildings outside población lacks septic tanks but has sufficient space for
accommodating one.

Liliw is composed of 3,745.38 has of agricultural land which is roughly 65.93% of the total land area of the
whole municipality. This implies that lands other than the población are mostly farm lots. Farm houses in Liliw are
mostly constructed with what they call “Balon” which is similar in nature with septic tanks with leaching chambers
and leaching fields. These balons allow liquid waste to be disposed as fertilizer under the soil and then into crops
and trees.

New houses near the main thoroughfare were constructed with septic tanks. The problem lies with the
informal settlers located near water bodies which does not have septic tanks nor balons.

III. Drainage Master Plan

A. Proposed Sewer Drainage Zones (Combined)
For drainage planning, the población is to be divided into various zones. The nomenclatures of
the zones have been made as per the Sewer Drain. The first number indicates the sewer drain and the
acronym of the barangays.

(i) Sewer Drain Basin 1-MSL. The area consists of Brgy. Maslun which is mostly residential areas.
The total area of this catchment is 5.35 hectares.

(ii) Sewer Drain Basin 2-MSL-BGA. The area consists of half of Brgy. Maslun and half of Brgy.
Bagong-anyo which is mostly residential areas. The total area of this catchment is 4.03 hectares.

(iii) Sewer Drain Basin 3-BGA-RZL. The area consists of half of Brgy. Bagong-anyo and half of Brgy.
Rizal which is mostly residential areas and some commercial areas. The total area of this catchment is 3.35
hectares.

(iv) Sewer Drain Basin 4-RZL-PGA. The area consists of half of Brgy. Rizal and half of Brgy. Pag-asa
which is mostly residential areas and some commercial areas. The total area of this catchment is 3.45
hectares.

(v) Sewer Drain Basin 5- PGA. The area consists of Brgy. Pag-asa which is mostly residential areas
and some commercial areas. The total area of this catchment is 2.05 hectares.

(vi) Sewer Drain Basin 6- PGA-MSK. The area consists of portions of Brgy. Pag-asa and whole of
Brgy. Masikap which is mostly residential areas and some institutional areas. The total area of this
catchment is 5.11 hectares.

B. Proposed Storm Water Drainage

For storm drainage planning, every road in poblacion has drainage canals on both sides. It is
proposed that only storm water will be catered by these drains.

(i) Maslun Storm Drain. The total length of this drain is 850.69 meters on each side of the
road. This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(ii) Maslun Storm Drain. The total length of this drain is 850.69 meters on each side of the
road. This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(iii) Bagong-anyo Drain. The total length of this drain is 840.00 meters on each side of the
road. This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(iv) Rizal Drain. The total length of this drain is 625.00 meters on each side of the road. This
will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(v) Gat-tayaw Drain. The total length of this drain is 621.00 meters on each side of the road.
This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(vi) Del Pilar Drain. The total length of this drain is 400.00 meters on each side of the road.
This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.

(vii) Masikap Drain. The total length of this drain is 648.00 meters on each side of the road.
This will carry the surface runoff of the barangay.
