SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK PLAN FOR MUNTINLUPA

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The Municipality of Muntinlupa was created in 1917, many events have transpired in the locality and brought to its current level of progress. Muntinlupa is now regarded as one of the fastest growing urban centers in the country. The transformation of Muntinlupa from a Municipality to a first class city in 1995 is reflective of the rapid development transpiring in the city. As the new millennium beckons, the City Government of Muntinlupa is prepared to face new challenges with the same zeal and dynamism that has led them to becoming a premier locality in Metro Manila.

The 2001-2011 Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) of the City of Muntinlupa

shall be the blue print in setting the direction of its development. In its effort to attain and sustain the status of being a Premier City, the City shall give primary emphasis to the provision of necessary services for its constituents that would in turn provide a better life to the people. This framework shall serve as an outline of the priority programs and projects of the City for the next five to ten years. It contains the sectoral goals and objectives, which are reflective of the City’s vision and mission espoused by the City’s incumbent Mayor—Atty. Jaime R. Fresnedi.

1.2 VISION

“We envision Muntinlupa as a well-planned premier city of the 21st century, in perfect harmony with nature, its people with a sense of pride and civic-mindedness, highly educated and competent, enjoying a world class quality of life with an enlightened and responsive community leadership drawing inspiration and guidance from God.”

The CLUP promulgates the overarching objective of making the City Government

1.5 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK

Among the 17 Cities and Municipalities that comprise Metropolitan Manila, The City of Muntinlupa has been at the forefront of development planning. Reflective of this, is the fact that Muntinlupa was the first LGU in The National Capital Region to have an approved Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and Zoning Ordinance. These documents were approved in 1993.

Since then, however, numerous developments and changes have marked

significant changes in the present character of The City of Muntinlupa. Similar changes are likewise observed in the land use pattern of The City. Through it generally adheres to The CLUP of 1993, The proportions of land utilization has dramatically changed, brought about by The rapid urbanization of settlements which in turn is brought by rapid population growth in The locality. There is thus a need to update the CLUP and the zoning ordinance to make them more proactive to the present problems besetting the City.

In this document, spatial development pattern refers to the evolution of a system

of areas with potential linkages for the following purposes: (a) to facilitate the flow and exchange of goods, information and services; (b) to rationalize the distribution of population and economic activities; (c) to promote sound environmental management;

5


(d) to provide accessible public utilities and services; (e) to reserve open spaces for recreational and conservation purposes and (f) forge unity and cohesion among the barangays.

1.5.1 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENTAL PATTERN

The spatial development pattern appropriate for the city of Muntinlupa for its CLUP 2001-2011 is the linear corridor pattern. This form of urban growth and change is developed based on the principle of linear extension along identified main lines of communication with high intensity activities, such as commercial and industrial centers and major institutional use like a university. The object is to create new strong activity and/or employment center along the main communication axis, instead of continuous suburbs or sprawl. Among the intended effects of the approach are: to minimize journey-to-work trip of workers, encourage local civic consciousness and promote orderly and economical urban expansion. In the case of the city, the omni-presence of the South Luzon Expressway (SLEX), which straddles the whole city and cuts the city into two halves, has played a significant role in the city’s past and present development. Future development will revolve around SLEX’s presence and capacity to achieve the intended effects and achieve the city’s vision, mission, guiding principles and the CLUP’s goals and objectives.

In this pattern, the downtown center, in this case the Alabang area is encouraged to continue its central function. The corridor, as the SLEX represent, is provided with improved transport services and access from all the city’s barangays. Future expansion of the corridor centers follows a carefully guided scheme for utilizing their surroundings open spaces. In the case of Muntinlupa business and commercial expansion will occur in the downtown area of Alabang, around the Sucat Interchange area and around the Susana Heights area. A big chunk of the Bilibid area will be retained as open spaces for recreational use by the city’s residents. Consistent with the linear approach, existing pattern of specialization of activities shall be reinforced such as in the Alabang area where the public market and business centers are located (Madrigal Park, Filinvest, and Intersection of SLEX and the Alabang-Zapote Road) to make them offer better and upscale service sector activities of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas and Quezon. However, Alabang area could become too congested (as experienced in the intersection area) that the development of limited urban expansion area is deemed quite desirable in the Sucat and Susana Heights- Bilibid/Poblacion areas. The objective here is to create an interrelated linear activity centers with possibly unique identities. The advantage of the linear approach is that it provides for more efficient use of existing local transport as the SLEX, makes the movement and congestion problems of the Alabang area more capable of reasonable solution, and it provides for a better balance of business and commercial activities in the whole city. In view of these advantages, the linear approach fit well with the idea of development following an ideal pattern as well as development focusing on areas with the economic potentials in the city.

1.5.2 SPATIAL PROFILE

In spatial development planning, parts of whole are assessed with respect to the overall contributions of the sector to the total development of the city. Hence, the role played by the various barangays in the total development of the City is primary to the achievement of the goal of becoming the Premiere City of the 21st Century.

Barangay Tunasan – being the southernmost area of the City, the barangay

links the locality to the Province of Laguna. It is home to numerous residential establishments with sixty five percent (65%) of the total land area of the barangay being used for residential purposes. The remaining area is devoted to mixed uses and industrial activities. Preference for residential land use has been advocated so as to safeguard the development of the locality.

Barangay Poblacion – It is host to the country’s National Bilibid Prisons. The

NBP alone comprises 84.15 percent of the land in this barangay. As such, it is currently considered as institutional zone. However, much speculation has cropped up as to the development of the area. In anticipation of the impending development moves, the City of Muntinlupa has proposed a Master Development Plan for the NBP area. The plan proposes to contain the commercial area of District I, comparable in development to that of the Alabang area in District II. The barangay is mostly zoned for residential use, although few medium-to-low scale commercial activities can be noted along the national road and some parts of the barangay where people converge.

Barangay Putatan – It is home to the most number of subdivisions the sitios and

it is largely residential in use. Putatan comprises 14.44 percent of the total land area of the city. It has been proposed in the past that the barangay shall be divided into four smaller localities instead of just one. This proposal was brought about by the need to effectively target public service and utilities to the area’s residents.

Barangay Bayanan – This is another area classified mainly as residential. Like

most of the barangays in District I, commercial activities/zones line the barangay area along the national road is spanning the whole length of the district in Alabang.

Barangay Alabang- It is the most commercialized barangay in the City of

Muntinlupa. With Filinvest Corporate City inside it as well as the close proximity of the Alabang Commercial Center and Madrigal Park, it is projected to be the backbone of the city's economic development. It is projected fuel the city's development making it the Premier City of the 21st Century. These developments have transformed this once, fishing and agricultural village into a highly urbanized modern area characterized by increasing commercial activities and dwindling residential uses. At present, even the residential portion of the barangay along the old provincial road (Aplaya Rd.) is now lined with commercial establishments, reflecting the fast-paced commercialization being experienced by the locality.

7


Barangay Ayala Alabang- In terms of land area, this is the third largest barangay of the City. It is known to be the home of rich and well-known personalities in the country who settle here for its distinct features. The area has widely planned land uses, with the establishment of the first-class residential and commercial areas being among its concerns. It is a self-contained community wherein development harmonizes with nature.

Barangay Cupang- It is dubbed as the “Most Blessed Barangay in the City of

Muntinlupa”. The development activities that have occurred in this locality are enough to warrant this reputation. From frugal activities such as fishing and farming, the barangay is now the proud host to some 50 major industries of the City, not to mention 11 first class subdivisions. Land use is mainly industrial with sporadic residential zones. Barangay Buli- This is the smallest barangay in terms of land area. However, it is characterized by a mixed land se of industrial the residential activities owing to the spillover of these uses from Barangays Cupang the Sucat. Barangay Sucat- this is home of the 600 megawatt power of the National Power Corporation. There are about 27 major industries located in the locality plus five (5) large subdivisions and vast open spaces targeted to absorb the commercial activities, which are expected to spill over from Barangay Alabang.

1.5.3 OVER-ALL DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY Spatial development shall be pursued on a strategy of effective networking of the

nine (9) barangays. This shall be accompanied by establishing linkages and optimal use of resources.

1.5.4 SPATIAL DEVELOPMENT ROLES Despite the varying strategic roles being played by the barangays, the City of

Muntinlupa aims to move forward into the new millennium on the basis of a common vision of the future. This is the vision anchored on becoming a Premiere City by the next century.

For practical development planning and management purposes, the City of

Muntinlupa shall be divided into two districts – each of which have spatial factors favorable to the needs of rational and sustainable approach, Muntinlupa City would be able to maximize its potential both as premiere center of commerce and industry as it retains its “provincial” ambiance.

With its strategic location as the gateway to the CALABARZON sub region

capturing most of its population, Muntinlupa shall emerge as the center for finance,

8


banking, insurance, recreation, trade, commerce the industry in the southern part of Metro Manila to the CALABARZON area.

It shall be the service center that will provide particularly residential,

entertainment and financial services to the CALABARZON labor force. In relation to Metro Manila, it will serve as the absorber of the light industrial and residential for people looking for smooth interpersonal relationships and clean environment of rural areas.

Based on the economic base studies of the city using location quotient analysis

(Table 1), the city has comparative advantages relative to NCR, Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Quezon in manufacturing especially in the following: 1) Textiles, Wearing Apparel, Leather; 2) Basic Metal and Fabricated Metal Products; 3) Machinery; 4) Other Manufacturing and 4) Electricity, Gas and Water. In services, the city has no advantage over NCR but has advantages relative to Batangas, Cavite, Laguna and Quezon in Restaurant and Hotels, Post and Communication, Financial Intermediation, Real Estate and Renting and Domestic Services.

This comparative advantage shall be one of the bases of the spatial role and

definition of the city’s barangays as stated below: District I comprises of Barangays Tunasan, Poblacion, Putatan, and Bayanan

which shall remain as residential areas with Barangay Poblacion emerging as its center of commerce and trade.

District II comprises Barangays Alabang, Cupang, Buli, Sucat and Ayala Alabang

shall serve as components of an industrial and commercial network with Alabang as the primary growth center.
