SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND
The town of Dasmarias started as a barrio of Imus, and in 1867 it was made as an independent
municipality.
The Spanish Government named the town Perez Dasmarias in honor of the Spanish Governor
General of the islands from 1590-1593. 250 Chinese oarsmen whom he had hired to work murdered
him. His son, Don Luis Perez Dasmarias, also lost his life in the hands of the Chinese in 1603. Don
Gomez Perez Dasmarias was well remembered because he was the one who initiated the fortification
of Intramuros and Fort Santiago.
Perez Dasmarias was formerly a visita of Imus, which was founded by the Recollect Fathers in
1795. The Camarin de Piedra owned by the Recollectors was used as the first church of Dasmarias
upon its division while the residents were constructing a new one.
According to records, the first settlers must have arrived in 1861 and were believed to be the
families of Gil Tirona, Vicente Guevarra, Eleuterio Geda and Eustaquio Paulme.
The town of Dasmarias became a bloody battlefield during the Revolution in 1896-1897.
After capturing the town on February 25, 1897, the Spaniards burned all the houses and buildings
in the Poblacion except the Catholic Church. Hundreds of its inhabitants died in the fighting. Noted
Filipino Generals like Flaviano Yengko and Crispulo Aguinaldo died in action during the aforesaid
encounters.
In 1905, during the early American Regime, the town of Dasmarias became again a barrio of
Imus and remained a part of the said town until 1907 when it was again made a separate municipality
during the incumbency of Provincial Governor Antero Soriano. In that year, the name Perez was
dropped or deleted through the efforts of Capt. Placido Campos, Francisco Barzaga and Felipe Tirona.
The growing congestion and outward urban expansion of the Metropolitan Manila Area has set-up
a favorable development atmosphere for the town. As one of Cavites lowland towns situated within the
Metro Manila urban influenced area the improvement of growth corridors and road linkages converged
within the area, thus providing for its rapid development.
The changing outlook of the town as a traditional agricultural town to a fast urbanizing town serves
as telltale a sign of its fast-paced development. Now, with a population of about 442,572 people and
with the development of the resettlement areas virtually give impetus for a new town. The town now is
experiencing the establishment of several large educational and health institutions, the influx of
industries and subdivision developments. Apparently, the towns economy and its development trend
are progressively being re-structured and re-oriented towards urban progress.
B.
The Municipality lies on coordinates 14 20 N latitude and 120 50E longitude. It is situated on the
northeastern part of Cavite province along the eastern provincial boundaries with Laguna. As such, it is at the
center of the CALABARZON sub-region within the regional jurisdiction of Region IV.
It is bounded on the north by the municipalities of Imus and Bacoor; on the east the municipalities of San
Pedro, General Mariano Alvarez and Muntinlupa City, on the south by Silang and on the west by General
Trias.
The municipality is about thirty (30) kilometers from Metro Manila, the country metropolis; (32) kilometers
from Calamba, the regional capital and (12) kilometers from Trece Martirez City, which is the provincial
capital. It is accessible from all points and growth centers via a network of concrete national highways and
provincial roads.
The town is landlocked. However, it is thirty (30) kilometers away from the coastal town of Rosario,
Kawit, Bacoor, Noveleta and Cavite City. It is about twenty-seven (27) kilometers from the Resort City of
Tagaytay and its famous Taal Lake and about the same distance from the Puerto Azul resort complex.

2. Land Area
The approximate total land area is 9,013 hectares. These are occupied by 73 barangays of which
twenty six (26) barangays are old barangays further subdivided due to increase in population and the fortyseven (47) barangays which are old resettlement areas established into regular barangays, of which three (3)
are in Burol and forty-four (44) are generally included under the Dasmarias Bagong Bayan (DBB areas).
Table No. 1 shows Area by barangay. Last March, Sangguniang Bayan file a resolution creating two more
barangays namely Victoria Reyes and H-2. It is now file at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for approval.
3. Climate
Dasmarias has two pronounced seasons: wet season and dry season. Wet season covers the period
from May to December and dries from January to April.
The east-southeast monsoon prevails over the area from December to May while southwesterly winds
blow during rainy season from June to August with heavy downpour.
4. Slope and Topography
The municipality are generally lowland with areas having slopes 0-18% accounting for about 81% the
total land area while the remaining 19% are with slopes 18% and above.
The topography is generally sloping, undulating hills distributed in all barangays of the municipality.
Practically all slope classification of land area is present in all barangays. Except in some portion at
barangays Burol, Langkaan, Paliparan, Salawag, Samapaloc and San Agustin, which are strongly sloping, and
hill, all others are level, too gently undulating to moderately sloping or rolling terrain. (See table no. 2 slope
classification.) Since these slope classifications are favorable for urban use and cultivation, the municipality is
presently maximizing its potentials as a new city on the rise with a balanced urbanization and agricultural
development.
5. Soils
The soils of the municipality are of the Guadalupe, Magallanes and Carmona series. Under each series
the soil types are Guadalupe Clay Loam and Guadalupe Clay adobe, Magallanes clay loam and Magallanes
loam and Carmona clay loam and Carmona clay respectively.
The largest soil type in terms of area coverage is Carmona Clay loam, which covers a total area of 3,169
hectares. These are found in the whole of Paliparan 1-III and portions of Salawag and Sampaloc I-V.
Carmona clay, which is found only at some portions of Salawag, is the smallest soil type in terms of is
coverage. Guadalupe clay loam is the most common soil type covering almost all barangays except in
Langkaan and Paliparan. The guadalupe series are found both in lowland and upland section of the town.
The lowland portions are devoted to rice production with or without irrigation. In the slightly upland area the
soil is utilized for pasture and is some place planted to upland rice and fruit trees.
The Magallanes soil series is lower in elevation and is slightly rolling and gently undulating in
topography. Deep River flowing north cut whole area. The soil under vegetative cover is brown to dark brown.
During continuous rains, the surface soil surely and consequently erodes easily. Soil erosion is not extensive.
Under the Carmona series the greater portion of Carmona clay loam is uncultivated. The location and
the topography of the land are somewhat favorable to Orchard planting. The upper portion where
considerable vegetation growth is found is utilized mostly for pasture. Table no. 3 shows soil distribution by
barangay.

DEMOGRAPHY
1.
INTRODUCTION
The population of a given planning area is considered as a primary object and a vital consideration for
planning. The development needs of an area in terms of spatial dimension as well as the level of sectoral
requirements to be provided are primarily determined by its population size and characteristics.
Thus, a basic step in any planning exercise is the conduct of a comprehensive study of the areas
population. Such study shall then serve as a take-off point in plan formulation and implementation.
2.
METHODOLOGY
The population studies herein presented are based mainly on official reports of the National Statistics
office supported by records of the Local Government Unit.
Using the geometric formula, the 1990 and 1995 NSO reports were utilized as base data for population
projections from 1999-2010.
3.
POPULATION GROWTH
The first NCSO official census of population for the municipality was conducted in the year 1903,
recording a total population of 3,028. The figure increased to 262,406 by the year 1995, almost a hundred-fold
increase over 93 years.
The town exhibited a significant population increase for the period 1975- 1980 with an annual growth
rate of 25.51%. This can be attributed to the influx of urban families from Metro Manila to the resettlement
areas of Dasmarias.
The year 1980 served as the benchmark for continuous population boom almost doubling the municipal
figures every censal year. The presence of economic catalizers such as institutional, commercial and
industrial establishments had contributed much to the existing demographic profile of the area.
The current year 1999 recorded an annual growth rate of 13.96% or an increase of 180,166 persons
within a period of 4 years. The average growth rate of 13.96% derived from the 1990 and 1995 figures were
utilized as basis for projection within the planning period of 2000-2010. Refer to Table No. 4 for the Historical
Growth of Population.
4.
POPULATION DISTRIBUTION/DENSITY
Based on the 1999 Projected Population, the total population of 442,572 is distributed to the 73
barangays of the municipality (see table no. 5). Dasmarias town proper is composed of 26 barangays having
a total population of 192,768 including the Poblacion area. The Poblacion is composed of 5 barangays
namely Zones I, I-A, II, III and IV with a population of 15,127, 3.42% of the total population concentration of
institutional, commercial and industrial establishments are noticeable within the old town proper.
Dasmarias Bagong Bayan is composed of 47 barangays, all of, which constitute the resettlements
areas and registering a total population of 249,804.
Thickly populated barangays are Barangay Paliparan III, Sampaloc IV, San Simon, Salawag and Sultan
Esmael.
With a total land area of 9013 hectares, Dasmarias has a gross density of 49 persons per hectare
classifying the town as a low-density area. Dasmarias Bagong Bayan falls under the category of high density
area with 542 persons per hectare.
5.
Analysis of the sex ratio shows that the male-female ratio is almost 1:1. Based on the 1995 NSO survey,
males constitute 130,809 or 49.85% while females are 131,597 or 50.15%. For 1999, there are 220,621
males and 221,951 females.
Of the total population (1999) of 442,572, 39.03% or 172,727 constitute the child and youth group. This
ranges from age brackets under 1 to 0.14. The productive or working age group total to 260,685 or 58.90%.
This includes population with ages 15 19 to 60 64 years old and also constitutes the potential labor force.
Senior Citizens whose ages range from 65 and above total to 9,160 or 2.07% of the total population.
The dependent group composes of the youth and child group plus the senior citizens total to 181,887
corresponding to 41.10% of the population. With a potential labor force of 58.90% of the population the
economic dependency ratio 1:1.4, which means that there are 14 dependents for every 10-labor force.
With an economic dependency ratio of 1:1.4, it can be noted that the population is more of a provider.
Such position could only be uphold if the socio-economic activities are given greater emphasis and made
responsive to the needs of the populace. Introduction of labor-intensive, income generating endeavors can
also cite incentives to the labor force.
Tables Nos. 6, and 7 show the Population by Age Group, by Sex and Economic Dependency Ratio.
6.
MOTHER TONGUE
Being geographically located in the Tagalog region, the dialect predominantly spoken is Tagalog. This
constitutes about 76.49% of the total household population. There are however, several other dialects spoken
in the area such as Cebuano, Hiligaynan, Ilocano, Waray, Bicol, Ibanag, Pampango, Pangasinan,
Maguindanao, Marasao, Aklanon, Binisaya, Ilangat, Mangyan and the other local dialects of very minimal
percentage. This can be attributed to in-migration corollary to the presence of socio-economic activities as
well as the resettlement activities of urban families from Metro Manila to Dasmarias. (Refer to Table No. 8).
7.
RELIGION
The municipality of Dasmarias is predominantly Roman Catholic constituting about 88.94% of the total
household population. Other religious affiliations in the area totals to a meager 11.06%, as reflected on Table
No. 9.
8.
MARITAL STATUS
Out of the population 10 years old and over, 50.05% are married while 44.59% are single and never
married. The rest are widows, 3.62%, and separated, 1.19%. It is a normal factor to have increasing trend in
all status. See Table No. 10 on marital status.
9.
LABOR FORCE
Labor Force is the economically active population comprising of population 15 years old and above and
over and who are either employed or unemployed.
Current labor force is 137,575 or 52% of the household population 15 years old and over. Of this figure,
124,608 are employed, and 12,967 are unemployed. The remaining 48% are not in the labor force, as shown
in Table No. 11.
10.
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
The annual growth rate is 13.96%. The figures from the 1990 and 1995 National Statistics Office (NSO)
reports were utilized as base data in population projections. Planning period is 2000-2010, covering an
eleven-year span.
Population projections from 2000-2010 will serve as the basis for spatial and sectoral requirements. See
Table no. 12 for Projected Population and household. These include projected population data on relevant
factors such as barangay, age group, labor force and number of households.

HOUSING
a.
RESIDENTIAL AREA/DENSITY
Residential areas within Dasmarias occupy an approximate area of 3,596.20 hectares that is 39.90% of
the total land area. The socio-economic development of the area prompted the development of about 167
residential subdivisions. See Table no. 15 for the list of different subdivisions. The continuation of pouring of
housing subdivisions developments in the different barangays of the locality indicates its eventual
transformation into a residential town. More developments of this type can be anticipated in the near future.
Aside from these subdivisions is housing projects at the Dasmarias Bagong Bayan under the National
Housing Authority are coordination with the Local Government. This is in pursuant to LOI No., 19 and 19A
which embodies the development of Dasmarias Resettlement Program now, known as Dasmarias Bagong
Bayan. Initiated in November of 1972, the 466 hectares project site is planned to be a self-contained
community. Beneficiaries of this program are urban families from the Metropolis. Being an integral
component of the town, this area shall be a significant influence in the development thrust of Dasmarias. For
the local squatters, the Local Government implemented the Municipal Homesite Acquisition Program at the
Paliparan Sites and Services Project.
As of 1999, the town has a projected gross density of 49 persons per hectare and a gross residential
density of 123 persons per hectare of residential area.

Table no. 16 shows the status of the housing units of Dasmarias for the censal year 1990. It indicates
that 96.13% of the total housing unit are occupied while only 3.87% were still vacant. This may attribute to the
fact that most of subdivision developer at still developing their properties resulting to new housing unit ready
for prospective buyers.
Within a period of nine years from 1990 to 1999, the total number of housing units was increased by
116% or an average increase of 4,193 units annually excluding those found in private subdivisions. At present,
total inventory of lot shows a record of 113,868 but still short of 233,515 lots to provide shelter fort 363,907

Considering that school-going age for elementary level is 66,037 children (see table no. 43) enrollment
participation into elementary level is only 87.26%. This is considered quite low because it is expected that
100% of the SAP should have been enrolled since elementary education is compulsory and the availability of
free elementary education is being provided.
In the secondary level, Enrollment Participation Rate is determined to be 57.94%. Of the total Secondary
School Going Age Population of 41,682 should be school children, there are 24,152 secondary students. The

SOCIAL WELFARE
a.
EXISTING SITUATION
The Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of Dasmarias, Cavite, which has the mandate
to spearhead the alleviation of the indigent sectors plight in the municipality, now has 15 personnel: A
registered social worker who heads the department and supervises the staff, five program staffers composed
of eligible social workers and other paraprofessionals, plus nine (9) support staff consisting of clerks and
utility workers, including drivers.
The program staffs are the ones responsible in program implementations and delivery of services to the
indigent clienteles of the office in seventy-three (7) barangays of Dasmarias.
Through the initiative of the department head, who only took rein of the MSWDO in the last quarter of
1998, the office, which used to share a very little room with the Telecommunications staff at the town hall, was
given its own office in DBB-B.
Its transfer to the new site enabled the staff to work faster, with the services readily delivered to those
who need them. More clients come so additional personnel are needed. Thats why from the original six (6)
workers, MSWDO has now fifteen (15) personnel.
The number of day care centers was also increased by the opening of twenty (20) new ones for a total
of eighty-two (82) centers today. This also necessitated the training of eighteen (18) new day care workers for
a total of seventy-five (75) day care workers. See Table No. 55
MSWDO had also been designated to handle the procurement, hauling and temporary storage of the
rice, sugar and other basic commodities for the operators of PIDIs Rolling Store Project from twenty-five (25)
barangays, which started in September 1999. The distributed project has been going fine, and additional units
of rolling stores would soon be distributed to other barangays. Beneficiaries of the project are shown on Table
no. 56.
The Municipal Government had granted MSWDO the exclusive use of service vehicles, which the staff
used in making rounds to day care centers, PIDIs Rolling Store, and during disaster time to make on-the-spot
evaluation of the calamity extent. A dump truck stands by for the commodity-hauling trips to NFA-Gen. Trias
and MAKRO and other dealers.
MSWDO had accomplished the following in 1999: (See table no. 57 for details).
1. Community Welfare Programs:
a. During the first half of 1999, the office entertained applicant in-groups from different barangays
who wish to put up livelihood projects with funding coming from the Municipal Government. Their
applications were processed, but with the orientation that the funding is for the Sangguniang
Bayans approval. Community meetings were conducted and feasibility studies were made on their
proposed activities. After processing about twenty (20) group applications and the funding was still
not in sight, these applications were temporarily shelved for later reference.
b. Pre-Marriage Counseling session were regularly conducted for would-be couples who actively
participated knowing that stronger relationships could be attained by the couple if they would be
aware of their respective roles and responsibility in the union that they were going into.
c. Death Aid assistance had been extended to indigent families mourning over their loss of their loved
ones of twilight ages.

MSWDO and the office requested for a P 500,000.00-funding for a program that helped the Dengue
victims and/or their families.
As to the clientele groups whose needs not within the scope of MSWDOs service umbrella,
including financial, medical, burial, temporary shelter or institutionalization (temporary or permanent),
referral letters made or case study reports were prepared based on home visitation and interview
conducted on clients and their families or neighbors and these were sent to MSWDOs networking
linkages which include the following:
1. Philippine Charity Sweepstakes Office
2. Philippine Amusement & Gaming Corporation
3. Research Institute for Tropical Medicines
4. Philippine National Red Cross
5. Home of Joy

Other services being extended are organizing the senior citizens of the municipality; issuance of IDs for
benefits like discounts and hospital referrals. There are about 2,019 registered senior citizens that avail of
said services. Senior citizens offices are included in each barangay hall. Congressional funds are among the
sources of funds for their various activities. Assisting the MSWDO in the delivery of social welfare services
are civic and religious organizations, shown on Table No. 58.
b.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Presently, the social welfare office is doing its best to deliver the job being assigned to it. But
considering the projected increase in number of households and influx of resettled families there would be a
need to provide additional Day Care Centers and rolling stores to sustain the needs of increasing number of
families. In Table No. 59 you can see the projected clientele within the planning period. Immediate concern of
the municipal government is the construction of seven (7) day care centers in various barangays. This would
likewise require additional day care workers.

EXISTING SITUATION
The municipality at present has two major parks, namely the Municipal Plaza and the Parish Plaza. The
Municipal Town Plaza in front of the municipal hall covers an area of approximately 600-sq. m. This is often
the site of different leagues where games like basketball and volleyball are being held. It is also here where
occasionally puppet shows, town programs and affairs are being held. The Parish Plaza on the other hand,
fronts the Catholic Church of the Immaculate Conception Parish. It is here where religious festivities are being
held like the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, May time Santa Cruzan, the Annual Childrens Christmas
party, other religious affairs and even some other sports activities. It is also here where the town people flock
and enjoy the fireworks of May and December.
The playground of schools and subdivisions within the town are also made available to the public as
occasions arise. More frequently used are the athletic fields of De La Salle University Dasmarias, Paliparan
Elementary School and Dasmarias High School. Also made open to the public and for commercial purposes
is the Villa Arcontica Complex with facilities including a cockpit arena where big derbies are being held and
patronized not only by the people of Dasmarias, but also by the nearby towns and even Metro Manila. Other
facilities include travel lodge, cottages and swimming pool. The Arcontica Complex is a private recreational
facility, which occupies an area of seven (7) hectares. It is located at KM29 along the Aguinaldo Highway, and
is within walking distance from the Poblacion.
Another recreational facility is the C.M Plaza, a private building with combination of commercial and
sports activities. It has bowling lanes and billiard halls. The municipality has a Public library situated on the
northern corner of the Parish Plaza. This is a permanent structure provided with a wide range of reading
materials open to everyone. The local government through its sports coordinator program different sports
activities during summer time likes Inter-Barangay Basketball, Volleyball League and Chess Tournament.
These sports activities are being held every summer to promote sportsmanship, brotherhood and to develop
the physical well being of the youth. At other times members of the civic and religious groups also sponsor
different sports activities in their respective barangays. Majority of those who cannot go out to avail of other
facilities for recreation content themselves with viewing programs on television or listening to the radio.
There are also numerous videos and computer game centers, which are getting so popular among the
young and adult alike.
b.
With the 442,572 population of the municipality at present, the age group of 8-14 years comprises 16%,
15-44 years with 49%, and 45-64 with 10%. The mentioned age bracket of the population are the ones who
indulge most in sports and recreation totaling to about 75% of the whole population.
As to educational characteristics, the municipality has a 98% literacy rate. Considering this factor, it
should be placed in mind that we are in advancing times of high technology. How games of sports are being
developed all over the world open the interest and desire of the people to learn, experience and participate in
the new fields of sports. This is also the same with newly developed recreational facilities that are highly
innovative.
With regards to occupation and income, about 58.90% of the total population are considered
economically active. This percentage of the population is the ones who could afford to avail of sports and
recreational facilities better than the rest of the population. These are the people who, after long hours of hard
work, seek some time-off for sports or recreation. Table No. 60 and 61 show the sport recreation preference of
the population by age group as per primary surveys and interviews.
As to sports preference, most common is the different types of ball games particularly basketball.
Basketball could be found in almost all barangays and in schools in the municipality. Sports activity in schools,
which include track and field, is mostly played through intramural and district meets.
It could be noted that as age group ascends, more complex or sophisticated sports arise like tennis,
bowling, and golf. However this again diminishes in the least active 65 years and above. Other males prefer
cockfighting and go to Arcontica. The cockpit area is situated within the 7-hectare lot of Arcontica premises.
As to the availability of sports facilities, Table No. 62 shows the existing sports facilities in the
municipality. Most of the facilities are privately owned and in fair condition. Considering the population and
the number of facilities, many of the residents avail of other facilities at nearby Cavite towns, neighboring
provinces and different sports complex of Metro Manila. Going to recreational preference, we could see the
demand for childrens playgrounds, park, amusement centers, movie houses, disco houses, etc. Table No. 63
shows available recreational facilities. Aside from the school playground, there is no municipal playground
available. The Parish Plaza is more of an open space with few benches and shade trees on the sides.
Residents of the municipality can now watch movies in the first run theatre at the Highway Plaza and on
Dasca Cable or simply watch their video, VHS or betamax machines and VCD player. There are no
amusement arcades but only simple computer playhouses. There are also no parks or botanical gardens for
the residents to stroll by. There is, however, no problem when it comes to reading centers. Aside from school
libraries, there is the Dasmarias Public Library and Jose & Luisa Campos Memorial Library. There is also an
abundant circulation of nationwide magazines and newspapers. Though not endowed with natural coastal
waters and hot springs, Dasmarias is fast becoming a swimming center with the establishment of the
following swimming resorts.

DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The increase in population will bring about an increase in the demand for recreational and sports
facilities as well as open space. Provision of these facilities and programming of sports activities would
deviate the minds of the youth from engaging in unproductive activities. These facilities should likewise be
made available to residents of all barangays. Priority should be given to the types of sports/recreation
preferred by the residents and which would not entail heavy costs. Private investors should be encouraged to
put up recreational establishment in the municipality like movie houses, amusement arcades, disco houses,
etc. The municipal park and playground should be provided with adequate amenities.
By the end of the planning period in 2010, the municipal government shall have allocated 160.67
hectares, for parks and playgrounds. Facilities should include tables, lawn area, shades for picnicking, etc.
For a municipal park, special features are sufficient lighting for nighttime use, drinking fountain, comfort rooms
and parking lots.
Since a park and open space system affects the growth and form of a city, particular attention for the
generous provision with open spaces should be considered. Parks and open space lands are important
factors in attracting new industries; hence their expansion should be encouraged.

PROTECTIVE SERVICES
a.
Dasmarias Police Station is located at the old Puericulture building along Camerino Avenue,
Dasmarias, Cavite. It occupies an area of 80 square meters as its five sub-stations. Lately, former
Congressman Renato Dragon funded the construction of a new building in Burol II, Area B. In terms of
facilities; the Dasmarias Police Station needs a permanent location for its station. Ideally, the police station is
expected to be responsible for public safety, protection of lives and properties, enforcement of laws and
maintenance of peace and order within its territorial limits.
It has 90 members, two of whom are Police Commissioned Officers and 88 are Police NonCommissioned Officers. Of the 88, 82 are in effective service while six (6) are in detached service with other
units.
The 1999 projected population of 442,572 necessitates the details of 442 policemen to maintain peace
and order. Due to personnel constraint, the existing police to population ratio are pegged at 1:4,918, which is
far below the standard of one (1) policeman for every 1,000 inhabitants, as mandated in Section 27 of
Republic Act 6975.
The 73 Barangay Councils of Dasmarias have organized their respective Barangay Tanod to augment
the PNP in maintaining peace and order in the Barangays. The Barangay Tanod is required to undergo training
and seminars before they are inducted as members of the brigade. Said training and seminars, designed to
upgrade their competence for effective and efficient protective service, give prospective tanods the basic
knowledge on their duties and responsibilities.
The Dasmarias Police has seven (7) patrol cars and a motorcycle. Three of these vehicles, however,
are undergoing repair. The station still lacks 57 high and 45 low powered firearms. At present, the police force
is in need of modern investigative equipment, additional patrol cars and construction of additional sub-stations.
The recent delivery of one (1) base radio, one (1) repeater and twenty (20) units of handheld radios have
considerably improved our response time to calls for police assistance. Communicating with other units is now
easier thereby improving our efficiency and effectiveness in rendering public safety services.
The station also needs handcuffs, nightsticks and sufficient funds to finance the conduct of follow-up
operations especially those outside operational jurisdiction.
The Municipal Peace and Order Council organized and headed by the Mayor, assists in the
maintenance of peace and order. Its members are individuals coming from the different sectors of the
community. It holds monthly meetings to thresh out problems affecting the town. The Municipal Government
also gives Php10,000.00 reward and a plaque of recognition to deserving policeman who performed well
during the month.
INCIDENCE OF CRIME
Table no. 65 shows that from 1996 to 1997 crime volume reduce by 21.64% and in 1997 to 1998 crime
volume reduce also by 8.14%. The reduction of crime volume may attribute to police efficiency and capability,
all out local officials specially the local chief executive and availability of opportunities to hire as worker in
many establishments in the municipality.

INCIDENCE OF FIRE
Within a span of four (4) years from 1996 to 1999 there are 171 fire incident occurred (see table no. 66).
On this table we will notice that in 1997, majority of the incidence occurred due electrical or faulty wiring, in
1998 and 1999, majority of incidence occurred due to combustible materials and bonfire. Also from the table
we will notice that almost all incidence happened because of lack of safety awareness about cause of fire.
c.
The Dasmarias Municipal Jail is located at Barangay Burol II, at present it is manned by twenty three
(23) personnel composed of one (1) warden one (1) dentist, three (3) nurses and nineteen (19) custodial and
escorts. The total area occupy is about nine thousand square meter (9,000 sq. m.) where a 386 square meter
building was constructed, it composed one (1) office room and eight (8) cells, two (2) of these cells are
exclusive for male and female minor offenders.
As of now, the total jail population is about four thousand four hundred eighty three (4,483) of these
2,063 or 46.02% were charged for index crime while 2,420 or 53.98% were charged for non-index crime.
d.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
As assessed, the current police force population ratio is 1:5604. Thus the existing force is below the
standard set forth by the Professionalization Law which is one (1) policemen for every 1,000 population.
Current requirement for policemen considering that existing numbers of police force is only ninety (90). By the
end of the planning period in the year 2010 the local government shall have been provided with total of 1,863
police force members to safeguard the lives properties of the residents totaling 1,863,206. Table No. 67 shows
the projected requirement for police personnel.
For fire protection services, the municipality will need additional 472 firemen by the end of the planning
period. On the event that hiring is impossible, the municipality may tap the services of volunteers/ private
individuals provided they have undergone training/seminars on fire protection and prevention. Table No. 67
also shows the projected requirement for firemen.
In terms of facilities, the police force needs a permanent location for its station. Ideally, since the
municipality has a large populace, it is expected to be responsible for public safety, protection of lives and
properties, enforcement of laws and maintenance of peace and order within its territorial limits. Only when it is
fully supported can it render effective and efficient police protection service.
At present, the police force is in need of modern investigative equipment, communication equipment,
additional patrol cars, and construction of additional sub-stations and hiring of additional personnel. Immediate
funds for police operatives to finance/following operations specially those outside operational jurisdiction. As
per standard of one (1) fire truck per 20,000 population, there is a current requirement of twenty two (22) fire
trucks to meet the present demands of the people and safeguards the lives and properties of the residents. By
the end of the planning period in the year 2010, it foresees that the Municipality of Dasmarias shall have
provided a total of ninety three (93) fire trucks.
E.
ECONOMIC SECTOR
1.
AGRICULTURE
Agriculture is the traditional economic base of the municipality, occupying an area of 2,045.56 hectares
or 22.1% of the total land area. Of the total, only 1,462.3 hectares or 71.48% are devoted to crop production.
The remaining agricultural areas are devoted to production of livestock, poultry and swine while other areas
are no longer productive and have remained idle for years. Corollary to the agro-industrial thrust of the
province, the implementation of CALABARZON and the functional role Dasmarias is playing, agricultural
development was greatly affected as evidenced by the decreasing area devoted to agriculture.
a.
CROP PRODUCTION
Of the total agricultural area, 1,462.3 hectares or 71.48% are productive. These are planted to food
crops such as palay, corn, fruits, vegetables and sugarcane.
Rice, being the staple food, is the major agricultural crop of the municipality occupying an area of 263.30
hectares. Of these, 203 hectares irrigated and 60 hectares are upland. Other food crops include fruits and
vegetables occupying an area of 758.8 hectares. The leading fruits being produced in the municipality are
mangoes and pineapple.
Area planted to sugarcane total to 440.5 hectares. Data on annual production is not available.
See Table No. 68 on Area Devoted to Agricultural Crop Production.
b.
The agro-industrial development in Dasmarias was brought about by the influx of institutional and
residential centers in the area. Delineated in the appropriate zoned areas so as not to cause adverse
environmental effects, agri-business is one agricultural boost, which could strengthen the economic base of
the municipality. For the year 1999, the office of the Municipal Agriculturist reported a total number of
Livestock and poultry production of 8,205 and 77,000 heads, respectively. There are nine (9) semicommercial farms and thirteen (13) commercial farms in the municipality, as reflected on Table No. 69.
c.
Irrigation Services
Irrigated Areas are serviced by irrigation pumps drawing water from Embarcadero, Makiling and
Luksuhin Dams located in Barangay Paliparan, Salitran and San Agustin respectively.
2.
17 threshers
1 solar dryer in Barangay Langkaan
12 power tiller
1 cono type rice mill
8 semi cono type rice mill
8 warehouses
There are five (5) chicken dressing/ mini-dressing plants in the area. These are located in
Barangay Paliparan II, Zone IV, Sampaloc I, San Agustin III and Salitran II.
There are slaughterhouses in the municipality, the biggest of which is the Monterey
slaughterhouse located in Barangay Langkaan. About 400-700 heads of swine and cattle are
being butchered daily. See Table No. 70.
The municipality has one (1) Swine Artificial Breeding Center. This is a joint project with the
office of the Provincial Veterinarian. It provides AI services for the whole municipality of
Dasmarias and other adjacent municipalities.

CONVERSION/RECLASSIFICATION
According to Municipal Agrarian reform Office (MARO) there are 2,596.5388 hectares of
land reclassified as residential from March 11, 1991 up to present.
e.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The existing agricultural development in the area shows a downward trend evidenced by the
continuous decrease in the area devoted to agriculture. It has been noted that said lands are being converted
to non-agricultural uses. Likewise, reduction in the physical area causes commensurate reduction in volume
and value of production of the remaining agricultural areas. This situation has been brought about by an
upsurge of the real estate industry considering the town proximity to Metro Manila. These make the prices of
land lucrative enough for farmer owners, tenants and farm workers to sell their farm lots and rights to real
estate developers. These are manifestations of shifting development trends which local officials must
address to and keep the municipality attitude to the best alternative towards development.
As per analysis of palay production reveals a great shortage of the crop to meet the standard
requirement of 124 kg / capital /year. Even if the 263.30 hectares of productive rice land hits the 95 cavans /
hectare target, it can only feed 2.27% of the total current population. Strategies to maximize production and
the provision of other sources of livelihood to the populace, which will enable them to import rice from other
areas, can be adopted to compensate for the loss or inability to provide additional areas for rice production.
Vegetable and fruit yields may not be commensurate in figures with requirements of the population but
backyard garden and orchard can augment the production data. Likewise, since vegetable is a very common
crop, deficiency is not so much a problem. It can be acquired through own initiative and at a lower cost.
Cropping season can be doubled or tripled to suffice the requirement. In general, the municipality is more of a
food importer. Table No. 71 shows the current and projected food requirement.

a.
EXISTING SITUATION
Commerce is a primary economic indicator of an area progress. It is not merely a visible show of rapid
urbanization but it likewise strengthens the bond of settlement fabrics by catering to the needs of the town
folks. Based on the records of the Business and License Division of the Local Government, there is a total of
three thousand one hundred sixty sex (3,166) registered commercial establishments. Of these 2,206

Other support facilities like power, water, communication and transportation are present. The electricity is
provided by NAPOCOR thru Manila Electric Company (MERALCO), water is being supply by Dasmarias
Water District (DWD). In terms of communications, the whole town relies upon on the various agencies like
PLDT, Globe Telecom, Digitel, Philippine Postal Communication, Bureau of Telecommunications and all mobile
cellphone companies. Newspaper and magazines of national circulation are available. Lastly, transportation
are available in whole part of municipality because of good network of roads (see infrastructure sector for
more details).
b.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Based on the land use survey, the existing commercial area is 65 hectares, about 0.72% of the total land
area. Using the standard requirement the municipality needs an additional area of 107.70 hectares. Traffic
congestion is one problem that is anticipated to happen in the near future. The local government in this regard
should undertake proper measures.
Strict observance and implementation of the traffic rules should be one of the primary thrust of the law
enforcers and the allocation of adequate parking spaces in commercial areas to prevent street parking. In
order to create a business atmosphere conducive to traders and consumers, effective and efficient support
facilities should be provided and maintained. Among these are the farms to market roads to be able to
facilitate the smooth transport of goods from the different barangays to the trading centers, power, water and
communication facilities.
3.
INDUSTRY
a.
EXISTING SITUTATION
Industrialization is one of the major programs of the government in order to achieve economic recovery.
Dasmarias, being on the threshold of the Philippine Aid Plan and the CALABARZON Project, is now
experiencing rapid industrial growth. The proximity of the area to Metro Manila is another factor that
contributed much to the industrial boom. As of 1999, there are 144 industrial establishments distributed in the
locality occupying an approximate area of 300 hectares. Of these industrial, 66 (45.83%) are micro, 55
(38.20%) are small industry, 11 (7.64%) are medium industry and 12 (8.33%) are consider as large scale (See
table no. 74). Almost 99% of these are manufacturing establishments distributed in the different barangays of
Sampaloc I, Sampaloc II, Sampaloc IV, Langkaan I, Langkaan II, San Jose, San Agustin, Luzviminda II,
Salawag, Salitran I, Salitran II and Paliparan. Most of these are engaged on the manufacture of garments for
overseas market, gloves, electrical supplies, aluminum sheets, automotive lights, apparels, greeting cards,
home decorations, furniture, hollow-blocks, handicrafts and native products, etc. There are two (2) active and
one (1) inactive industrial estate in the municipality.

* TEMPORARY SHUTDOWN
AGRO - INDUSTRY
There are 14 agro-industrial establishments distributed in the different barangays of Langkaan I,
Langkaan II, Sampaloc II, Sampaloc III, Salawag, Zone III, San Jose and Sabang. The biggest among which
is Monterey Farm Incorporated located at Barangay Langkaan I , Dalisay Farm Incorporated located at
Barangay Zone III and Jaro Development Corporation located at Paliparan II.
With the present trend of industrialization, many investors are interested in putting up their firms in the
area. Therefore additional sites for the projected increase in this activity should be identified.
b.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The pressure of economic recovery leaves the choice between industrialization and agricultural
production. Industrialization would mean conversion of agricultural lands to industrial estates, giving less jobs
for farmers and more for skilled workers. Whichever will be the choice, it should always be for the betterment
of the majority.
In the case of Dasmarias, industrialization is one of its major thrusts. Its prime location attracts local as
well as foreign investors. Establishment of big industrial firms not only increases the local revenue but also
employ many residents in the area. But this also pose pollution problems. The local government in
coordination with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) should impose strict
compliance on the use of anti-pollution devices and measures by all industrial plants.
With the present trend, industrial area should be identified to accommodate future industrial
establishments. The growth of industrial activities should be regulated so as not to affect other activities in the
municipality. With the allocation of industrial areas will also require the development / construction of support
facilities such as roads, water and power services. In this regard, the local government in the development of
such activity should make particularly the DPWH coordination with the concerned agencies.
4.
TOURISM
a.
EXISTING SITUATION
The municipality has some tourist spots that cater only to local tourist such as Kalipayan Estate Volets
Resort with facilities such as swimming pools, discotheque and karaoke laser disc sing-a-long bar and function
room for conferences/seminars. Some five other restaurants and swimming pool combined abound also in the
municipality such as 4 steps, Swiss Resort Inn, Blue Hawaii Swimming Pool and Condominium, Manits and
Arcontica Travel Lodge and Swimming Pool which is temporary close due to major renovation. A three-star
Bistro Arcontica Pub House and Restaurant has newly opened. The Arcontica Cockpit Arena who has closecircuit TV monitor and off-fronton betting caters to a few foreigners wishing to watch cockfighting. See table
no. 75 for inventory of Local tourist spot.
Dasmarias, however, abound with small river basins with the construction of dams, (prinzas) used for
irrigation during Spanish times, although not considered potential for tourism industry at this time. However, if
desiltation and dredging will be done on these dams, these catch basins will be a boom during the summer
months as swimming resort areas for local tourists, and maybe for foreign tourists, considering the more than
300 years existence of these irrigation dams.
In the Dasmarias Bagong Bayan and the newly established Paliparan Sites & Services Project both
situated in this municipality, where settlers are a conglomeration of Filipinos from the different provinces,
squatters from the different cities of Metro Manila, and possessing different life-styles, social scientists could
be lured as tourists for a study of this unique settlement. They could consider studies on the settlers small
and medium industries like cottage industries, handicrafts, furniture, garments, home decorations and even art
and musical talents.
May time Santacrusan festival, the December grand town fiesta with fireworks and the like, and the
annual balikbayan affair are traditional/cultural activities that could be considered as tourists attractions. The
development of the Orchard Subdivision and Golf Course will cater to international as well as local golfers.
This golf course is comparable, if not better, to existing golf course anywhere in the world, considering the kind
of expertise and professionalism involved in its development and continuing expansion
b.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The municipality to exploit its tourism industry potential based on the existing situation needs to
encourage the private developer to invest more in the improvement of their property.
F.
1.
TRANSPORTATION
Dasmarias is accessible by land transportation from Metro Manila and other adjoining municipalities. It
can be reached from Manila through Emilio Aguinaldo Highway from the north toward Tagaytay City to the
south. Another major highway is the Carmona-Ternate road known as Governors Drive passing thru Palapala
and Langkaan. Other major road links are Molino Road (Paliparan-Molino Road) going to Bacoor and Zapote;
Sabang-Imus Road going to Binakayan; and Amuntay-Puerto Azul Road going to Governors Drive.
It is 30 kilometers from Metro Manila; 12 kilometers from the provincial capitol, Trece Martirez City; 27
kilometers from the city of Tagaytay; 30 kilometers from Laguna and 30 kilometers from the coastal towns of
Rosario, Kawit, and Cavite City.
The accessibility of the area is one of the factors that contributed to its rapid development. Likewise, the
road network supports the town in its functional role as a residential, commercial, industrial and university town
center.
As far as means of transportation are concerned, the municipality did not experience shortage of public
utility vehicle. As of now theres a lot of public vehicle groups making trips daily within and outside of
municipality. It composed of about 2,075 passengers FXs, Vans and Jeepneys, and 5,230 units of Motor
tricycle. A lot of bus companies enjoying the route of Dasmarias like Rhine Bus Company, Magic Touch, J.S
Vergara Lines, BLTB Co., Crow Bus Company, California Bus Line, Donna May Liner, Alfonso Liner, and
others. Refer to table nos. 76 and 77.
Few jeepney groups have a terminals but some do not have, Majority of tricycle group are enjoying the
use of road shoulders as terminals. Most of the bus companies have terminals in Manila and upland towns.
They mostly traverse Aguinaldo Highway passing through Placido Campos, P. Camerino and N. Guevarra
Street then back to Aguinaldo Highway or vice versa.
a.
ROAD NETWORK
The municipality has a total road network of 790.731 kilometers. Classified into provincial, municipal,
barangay and subdivision roads travelling within the towns jurisdiction.
The National Highway serves as the central development spine that links Dasmarias with its
neighboring municipalities. It includes Aguinaldo Highway, Congressional Avenue, Salitran-Salawag Road,
Salawag-Molino Road and Governors Drive with a total length of 33.46 kms. The whole stretch is asphalt and
under good condition. Salitran-Salawag Road is now under major improvements to make it four (4) lane
concrete pavement.
The provincial roads include Amuntay Road, Don P. Campos Avenue, and Paliparan-Salawag Road with
a total length of 14.95 kms. Paliparan-Salawag Road is also under major improvements making it a four (4)
lane concrete pavement.
The municipal roads have a total length of 84.86 kms., all of which are concreted. The barangay roads in
the area have a total length of 20.61 kms. and subdivision roads has an average length of 583.036 kms. Table
No. 78 shows Inventory of Roads by classification. Type of Pavement and Length.
b.
BRIDGES
There are 35 bridges that connect the road network in the municipality. All of which are made of
concrete. Table No. 79 shows the Inventory of Bridges by Type of Construction Material and Length.
c.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
With a total road length of 736.911 kilometers and a population of 442,572, the existing road is not
enough to serve the commuters of municipality. Based on the urban standard of 2.4 km/1000 population, the
municipality is in need of 271.44 kms of roads. By the end of planning period, the municipality based on
projected population of 1,863,201 will need a total road network of 4,771.69 kms.
In line with the development thrust of the area, more road is expected to be constructed. It should be
noted however, that the roads to be constructed should align with the existing road network.
Although majorities of the roads are in good condition, it is essential they be properly maintained to
ensure convenience and safety for the commuting public and motorists.
Lastly, the local government should also aim at improving all its external/internal linkages to facilitate
smooth transport of goods and people. Provision for other transport facilities such as terminals should
likewise be provided.
2.
WATER
a. EXISTING SITUATION
The water supply in the municipality of Dasmarias falls under the jurisdiction of the Dasmarias Water
District (DWD). Its offices are located along Camerino Avenue near Rural Bank of Dasmarias (Main), the
other two (2) offices are located at Congressional Avenue in front of NHA and Paliparan Site besides
Barangay Hall.
The municipal water supply system draws water from two(2) types of sources, namely, spring and
ground water. In 1995, Dasmarias Water District reported a total of 41 pumping stations, one (1) of which is
non-operational, as shown in Table No. 80.
Since then fifteen-(15) additional pumping stations have been constructed, all of which are operational
Table No. 81 reflects these additional pumping stations.
Various block faucets have been installed in Bagong Bayan which are intended for families who could
not afford the cost of individual pipeline connections. The pumping station provides water to about 442,572
population. The production capacity of these stations is 65,591.60 cubic meters per day or 23,612,976 cu.m
per year.
Aside from the DWD, there is a proliferation of water filling stations in the different barangays of the
municipality. Table No. 82 reflects other sources of water supply.
There are industrial establishments and institutional entities (including public and private schools
hospitals and health stations and other government buildings) that draw water from the DWD water supply
system. There are also commercial establishments, which are like-wise being served by the DWD.
b. DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The increasing population warrants a continuous supply of water. The municipal government should see
to it that all consumers (residential, commercial and industrial) are provided with adequate water supply.
In order to meet the demands of the current and projected population, Dasmarias Water District deem it
necessary to rehabilitate various pumping stations in the municipality as shown In Table No. 83.
The end of the planning period in 2010 requires 186,320,600 liters of water per day for the projected
population of 1,863,206. However, Table no. 54 shows the Projected Daily Water Demand.

DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
With the rapid urbanization of Dasmarias, the local government should coordinate with concerned
agencies such that adequate power supply is delivered to the current population as well as the projected
requirement of residential and industrial users up to the end of the planning period in 2010.
4.
COMMUNICATION
Residents of Dasmarias rely upon various agencies for their communication needs. These are the
Philippine Postal Corporation, Bureau of Telecommunications (BUTEL), Philippine Long Distance Telephone
Co. (PLDT), Globe Telecom, Digitel Telephone Co. and many offices. Newspapers and magazines of national
circulation are likewise available in the areas. AM/FM radio and television programs are received clearly in the
locality.
a.
a.1 TELEPHONE
The PLDT, Globe and Digitel are extending telephone services to the municipality. PLDT has a
Telephone Management and Operation Office, a relay station and a toll station. The local office is situated in
Bauman and occupies 250-sq.m. The area of coverage includes the poblacion, part of San Agustin,
Sampaloc, Salitran, San Jose and Bagong Bayan.
Globe line and Digitel has installed calling phone booths in various barangays of the municipality.
The proliferation of cellular phones is also a way of communicating not only locally but internationally as
well and thus boost the economic growth of the municipality.
a.2 TELEX, TELEGRAPH/TELEGRAPHIC TRANSFER SERVICE /FACILITY
The Bureau of Telecommunications provides telegraphic services to the populace. Its office is located at
the municipal building with one staff. It has a complete telegraphic systems and delivery vehicle servicing the
whole municipality. For a more efficient service, residents prefer to go to private firms for their
telecommunication needs.
BROADCAST MEDIA
There are no radio and TV stations in the area, those from Metro Manila are clearly received. The
presence of the Dasmarias Cable TV makes the resident abreast with both local and international
news/shows.
c.
PRINT MEDIA
Another important source of news and information are the various newspapers/magazines of national
circulation available to the residents. A good number of newsstands can be seen in the different barangays.
The different schools likewise have their own school publications.
d.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
The post office would need a total of 373 letter carries up to 2010 to meet the demands of the projected
1,863,206 population. Correspondingly, facilities and equipment should be upgraded. As to telephones, the
end of the planning period shall have served those with pending applications.
5.
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
a.
The existing drainage system in the municipality consists of network of eastern canals and concrete
rectangular box culverts and reinforced concrete drainage pipes constructed on both sides of the street
especially in developed subdivisions.
Rain water runs off from western side of Barangay Langkaan I and II, drain into Amuntay Creek and
Ylang Ylang River, San Agustin I, II and III, Zone I, I-A, II, III and IV, San Jose, Sabang and western parts of
Sampaloc I and II, drain into Dasmarias River; Water runs-off from Salitran III and IV, Burol Main, the majority
of Barangays at Dasmarias Bagong Bayan resettlement areas, eastern parts of San Agustin II and III,
majority parts of Sampaloc I, II, III and IV are drain into Imus River; Barangays in Paliparan I, II and III,
Salawag and eastern parts of Dasmarias Bagong Bayan Resettlement Areas are drain into Baluctot River.
The network of open canals proves efficient and satisfactory as indicated by the absence of flood prone
areas. At present, there is no centralized sewerage system. Although the whole municipality considered as an
urban area. Waste water are those coming from households such that individual septic tanks and privies prove
to be sufficient.
Existing commercial establishment, however, drains into street canals and culverts which directly
discharge into natural water ways. These canals and culverts serve as combined drainage and sewerage
facilities. The final disposal body is the Dasmarias River, Imus River and Baluctot River.
b.
WASTE DISPOSAL
Solid waste disposal is now a problem due to the influx of residential subdivisions and rapid
urbanization. In areas with vast land resources, waste disposal remained manageable in so far as satisfactory
disposal by individual household is concerned.
The local government of Dasmarias thru the Environmental Sanitation Unit collects garbage daily in
Zone I, I-A, II, III and IV and almost all barangays. Minimal number of unserved subdivision resort to private
garbage collector. Garbage is dumped in a private lot located at barangay Salawag due to closure of Carmona
Landfill.
c.
BURIAL SITES
There are five (5) existing burial sites in Dasmarias. One is located at Barangay Zone IV with an area
of 4 hectares; one at Brgy. San Nicolas III with an area of 5.0 hectares and three (3) private memorial parks,
namely: Manila Memorial Park, San Agustin Memorial Park and the Sacred Heart Memorial Garden.
d.
DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
An effective and adequate drainage system is one of the requirement of a well-planned community. The
system may consists of open lined canals or closed conduits but it must be so designated to handle a given
storm magnitude.
There should also be an efficient garbage collection system coupled with strict enforcement of ordinance
of anti-littering and indiscriminate dumping of garbage including human and animal wasted into creeks and
rivers. The acceptable site for sanitary Landfill is the eastern part of Barangay Salawag near the boundary of
San Pedro, Laguna.
Inasmuch as the over-all drainage flow is towards Dasmarias River, Imus River and Baluctot River,
drainage and sewerage design should maximize the use of the river as effective channels for draining water
run-off. Likewise, all new land development, particularly residential subdivisions, should be required to provide
the closed conduit type of drainage system as part of their initial development program.
About the burial site or cemetery, with the present crowded situation of existing public cemetery and high
cost of lot in private parks, another site of public cemetery is needed in the eastern side of municipality
probably at Paliparan III.

DEVELOPMENT PLAN
A. GENERAL GOAL AND OBJECTIVES
To promote the growth and development of the municipality of Dasmarias and its transformation into
the City of Dasmarias or Dasmarias City and to ensure every resident the enjoyment of a satisfactory quality
of life through the development of a well balanced physical environment where economic, social and cultural
activities are freely and fully pursued.
OBJECTIVES ARE THE FOLLOWING:
1. To effect a balanced and integrated development of all areas of the municipality through a rational
spatial distribution of various land uses.
2. To generate employment opportunities through a balanced mixed of agricultural, commercial and
industrial activities.
3. To provide the internal transportation and communication networks to increase the accessibility,
mobility and interaction of all areas.
4. To provide adequate social services in terms of medical facilities, educational institutions, and
protective services, social welfare service, together with sports and recreations to the Local
Government constituents.
5. To provide infrastructure and utilities such as water, power and environmental management services
such as garbage disposal system and waste treatment facilities to ensure health and safety of the
residents and ecological balance in the city.
municipality. The old commercial developments within the area Zone I, I-A, II, III and IV provide for the needs
of the old town residents and the subdivision migrants on the Southern portion of the municipality. The nature
of commercial activity is being that of a neighboring marketing population of other settlement areas. It likewise
makes the public market accessible to all the population both from the resettlement areas and the old
townsite. Thus, the financial and commercial district at Aguinaldo Highway, the neighborhood commercial
activity in Zone I, I-A, II, III and IV and the New Public Market enhance the commercial center role of
Dasmarias.
The exodus of residential developments to the municipality both public and private makes the
municipality a residential town. Letter of instructions No. 19 and 19-A in 1972 provides for the development
of the Dasmarias Bagong Bayan as a model resettlement community for low-income families and squatters
from Metro Manila. Presently, this resettlement area known as DBB is composed of fourty-seven barangays
(47) with a total population of 249,804. The subsequent growth of the DBB Resettlement Area has induced
the location of other attendant activities and services in the municipality. Due to its proximity to Metro Manila
and being within the urbanizing and development influence of Metro Manila, the municipality is a favored
location of subdivision private developers. There are about 167 residential subdivisions in the area. The
proliferation of these residential subdivision in harmony with the native population and residential areas, shows
that the living conditions in the municipality is excellent, thus, enhancing the residential area role of the
municipality.
Dasmarias is a recipient of the dispersal thrusts of several universities of Metro Manila to widen their
coverage and bring education closer to the people. Different known Manila based university has branches in
the Municipality, earning for Dasmarias the role of a University Town. Foremost of which is the De La Salle
University which takes over the General Emilio Aguinaldo College which offers medical courses and other
social science courses and at the same time operates and manages a hospital catering to the health need of
the population. Other university branches are from the Technological University of the Philippines (TUP) and
the Philippine Christian University (PCU). These mean that the town can service the tertiary education needs
of its population as well as those of neighboring towns and provinces.
C. DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY
All development efforts of the local government shall be geared towards full urbanization and city
hood. The Municipality of Dasmarias shall be a harmonious blend of a modernizing old town responding to
the call of the times and an enterprising migrant population both contributing to the municipal growth and
development conducive to the attainment of its constituents goals and aspirations.
To ensure a balanced and integrated development of the municipality, a rational spatial distribution of
various land uses shall be effected. The municipality will be divided into development clusters of submunicipality grouping having specific functions relative to land use and economic development. Each sub municipality will be rational land use settlements areas with residential, commercial, institutions, and
recreational uses adequately provided with basic social services, infrastructure, and utilities. Mixed uses shall
be allowed provided the general character of the development cluster or sub-municipality is not adversely
affected.
Residential, commercial, institutional, recreational and utilities are considered light intensity uses and
can therefore be mixed. Medium and high intensity uses like industrial shall be allowed only in designated
areas.
Residential shall be designated with corresponding densities. Low-density residential areas with R-1
districts shall have a minimum lot size of 240 square meters. Medium density residential areas on R-2 districts
shall have a minimum of 50 square meter and high density or R-3 shall have lot size 35 square meters and
below. Upgrading and continuous improvement of residential areas of the native population of Dasmarias
shall be given impetus by the government. At the same time, the municipality shall be open to new residential
development and provide the migrant population areas for residential purposes.
Commercial areas to be utilized for public markets financial and commercial banks and lending
institutions, convenience shops and stores shall also be provided. These are aimed at both promoting trading
and business and at the same time providing employment opportunities to the residents of the municipality.
Institutional areas shall also be provided for additional schools, hospitals and other government
institutions while upgrading the facilities of existing ones also be a concern of the local government. This is to
further enhance the university town role of the municipality relative to its neighboring municipalities, cities and
provinces.
Recreational areas and facilities shall be provided for the well-rounded physical fitness development of
its population, specifically the youth sector.
Environmental sanitation and management is a major aspect of this envisioned development for the
municipality. An efficient garbage collection and disposal system, drainage and sewerage system is a must in
a highly urbanized and developed settlement area. Thus, the municipal government will ensure that
environmental sanitation systems are out in place and operating efficiently and effectively.
Industrial developments will be the backbone of the municipals economic growth. The employment
opportunities will operate, will provide livelihood to the migrant population as well as the native residents. The
benefits that may be derived from these industries will help the government perform its responsibility towards
the city in terms of services and utilities.
Consequently, environmental management of industrial wastes is also a primary concern of the
government. The local government will require industries locating in the municipality, to secure Environmental
Compliance Certificate and ensure conformity with the document and strict adherence to the environmental
safe guards provided therein. Installation of Anti-pollution devices shall be strictly required of these industries.
With the full urbanization of the municipality, brought about by the increase of population and their
corresponding increase in requirement in terms of land area and service, the influx of migrants induced both
by government policies as in the case of relocation projects and private endeavors due to market forces in the
case of new private subdivisions lot buyers, as well as business and industrial investors brought about by an
environment created by the development-oriented local official and the strategic location of the municipality,
agricultural areas will be greatly affected. Projected requirements in terms of land allocation for various land
uses will consume available agricultural lands. Land requirements within the planning period even exceeds
the limitation on lands for reclassification as provided by law. The needs of the population are first and
foremost in the minds of the local officials; thus the plan realized that agricultural lands would be used up.
However, the plan aimed that the existing effective agricultural area will be retained within the planning period.
The existing effective agricultural crop area will be retained even below the reclassification limit, to at least
show that intent of the local government to strike a balance between the needs of the population and the
provisions of the law.
With the envisioned development of the municipality it is assumed, that the population will be benefited
and that their standard of living will be upgraded and that they may be able to secure agricultural requirements
from other municipalities. Since Dasmarias is a member of a larger community, it is likewise assumed that it
may provide services to neighboring communities and vice-versa, that relationship will be symbiotic and
supportive of each others needs and requirements from other municipalities.

Section 8.
Interpretation of the Zone Boundary. In the interpretation of the boundaries for any of the
zones indicated on the Zoning Map, the following rules shall apply:
1. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the center of streets or highway, the
street or highway right-of-way lines shall be construed to be the boundaries.
2. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they approximately follow the lot lines, such lot lines shall be
construed to be the boundaries.
3. Where zone boundaries are so indicated that they are approximately parallel to the center lines or right-ofway lines of streets and highways, such zone boundaries shall be construed as being parallel thereto and
at such distance there from as indicated in the zoning map. If no distance is given, such dimension shall be
determined by the use of the scale shown in said zoning map.
4. Where the boundary of a zone follows a stream, or other bodies of water, said boundary line shall be
deemed to be at the limit of the political jurisdiction of the community unless otherwise indicated.
5. Where a zone boundary line divides a lot of one ownership, as of record at the effective date of this
Ordinance, the lot shall be construed to be within the zone where the major portion of the lot is located. In
case the boundary line bisects the lot, it shall fall in the zone where the principal structure falls.
6. Where zone boundary is indicated as one-lot-deep, said depth shall be construed to be the average lot
depth of the lots involved within each particular municipality block. Where, however, any lot has a depth
greater than said average, the remaining portion of said lot shall be construed as covered by the one-lotdeep zoning district provided the remaining portion has an area less than fifty percent (50%) of the total
area of the entire lot. If the remaining portion has an area equivalent to fifty percent (50%) or more of the
total area of the lot then the average lot depth shall apply to the lot which shall become a lot divided and
covered by two or more different zoning districts, as the case may be.
In case of any remaining doubt as to the location of any property along zone boundary lines, such
property shall be considered as falling within the less restrictive zone.
7. The textual description of the zone boundaries shall prevail over that of the Official Zoning Maps.
