COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 2025PART 3: SECTORAL PROFILE3.1.INFRASTRUCTURE, FACILITIES AND UTILITIES3.1.1. Flood Control Facilities3.1.1.1. “Bombastik” Pumping StationsBeing a narrow strip of land with a relatively flat terrain and with an aggregateshoreline of 12.5 kilometers that is affected by tidal fluctuations, flooding is acommon problem in Navotas City. This is aggravated by pollution and siltation ofthe waterways, encroachment of waterways and drainage right-of-ways bylegitimate and informal settlers, as well as improper waste disposal.The perennial city flooding inevitably became a part of everyday living. During ahigh tide with 1.2 meter elevation, some parts of Navotas experience flooding,especially the low-lying areas along the coast and riverways. As a mitigatingmeasure, the city government - thru the Local Disaster Risk Reduction andManagement Office - disseminates information about the heights of tides for aspecific month. This results in an increased awareness among the residents onthe time and date of occurrence of high tide. During rainy days, flooding reachhigher levels. The residents have already adapted to this situation. Those whoare well-off are able to install their own preventive measures, such as upgradingtheir floorings to a higher elevation.During the term of the then Mayor and now Congressman, Tobias M. Tiangco, heconceptualized a project that aims to end the perennial flooding in Navotas.Since Navotas is surrounded by water, he believed that enclosing the city toprevent the entry of water during high tide would solve the floods. The localgovernment piloted the project in Barangay Bangkulasi and sealed it from watersthat enter the barangay. A study was conducted on where the water fromNavotas River enters the area during high tide. After the identification of the entryways of water, the City Government started the construction of riverwalls andmini-flood gates on strategic areas within the said barangay.The purpose of these pumping stations is to propel out all the household watersand rain waters inside the containment structure, while the flood gates preventthe entry of water in the area during high tide. The flood gates were kept closedand the pumps were kept running during high tide which resulted to a decreasedflooding in the locality.Today, Barangay Bangkulasi no longer experienceflooding.The City Government also decided to replicate this project to all thebarangays of the city.As of current writing, there are 44 “Bombastik” pumping stations in Navotasstrategically located throughout the city.3.0 Sectoral Profile27

Navotas Coastal DikeAnother project that aims to address the perennial flooding in Navotas City is theconstruction of a 3.5-km coastal dike along Manila Bay. Originally, the coastaldike is a part of the CAMANAVA Flood Control Project. However, due to financialconstraints, the dike was not built. The preparation of the design and thealignment of the coastal dike were initiated by the City Government. The projecthas already begun and is funded by the national government through theDepartment of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). The construction is beingimplemented by phasing wherein the first phase of the coastal dike was alreadycompleted, covering the stretch from Barangay Bagumbayan North to BarangaySipac-Almacen. The construction of the remaining parts of the coastal dike is stillon going as of the writing.With the construction of the coastal dike and the presence of the “Bombastik”pumping stations, the city will no longer experience flooding.Figure 3.2.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 2025The locations of all the DPWH Infrastructure projects in the city for the years 2015-2017are shown in Map 3.2. Most of the infrastructure projects focus on the construction andstrengthening of structural disaster mitigating measures such as the coastal dike,riverwalls, pumping stations, and drainage canals. The list of all the DPWHInfrastructure projects for the years 2015-2017 are included in the Annex of thisdocument.3.2.TRANSPORTATION / ROAD NETWORKNavotas is accessed by land through the major highways, roads, and bridges in MetroManila. The road linkages provide the important flow connections of goods and servicesto and from the city and the means of economic and social interactions with the rest ofMetro Manila. Navotas being a known fishing hub in the northwest portion of MetroManila and a coastal city, Manila Bay plays an important role in its economic structure.3.2.1 Road NetworkThe City of Navotas is served by a road network, all made of concrete, that providesinternal access within the city to all the barangays and that serves as importantlinkages of the city to the rest of Metro Manila and other nearby municipalities andcities. Table 3.2 shows the list of all National Road Network by length.All the roads have a two-way capacity and when used properly, can accommodate atleast 4 vehicles at a time. In terms of pavement type, the major roads in Navotas areall concrete.Almost all the roads in the city are well-maintained and in good condition. Upgradingand repair is regularly done by the City Government to ensure safety and accessibility.Proper coordination with the Department of Public Works and Highways is a constantpractice for the maintenance of national roads.Considering all the barangays of Navotas are classified as urban barangays, the actualroads needed, based on the August 1, 2007 census and applying the standard of 2.4kilometers per one thousand population, is about 589 kilometers. This is way above theexisting 15.38 kilometers of national roads. However, due to the limited land area ofthe city, actual road needs cannot be met. This means that mobility can be attainedfrom traffic management and utilizing the waterways as means of transportation.3.0 Sectoral Profile32

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 20253.2.1.2 BridgesBeing surrounded by water, these bridges facilitate easy access and continuity of trafficflow into, out, and within the city. There are nine (9) main bridges in Navotas and sinceall bridges were built more than 10 years ago, their capacity to service the transport linksgradually deteriorates and will require extensive maintenance in view of increasing trafficand continuous use.Currently, all bridges are in good condition. Retrofitting and reinforcements were done toensure the safety of the motorists and pedestrians in cases of earthquakes and othercalamities.Table 3.4.

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 20253.2.2. Transportation and Terminals3.2.2.1. Public Utility JeepneyThere are six (6) routes of passenger jeepneys in the city as enumerated below. Next totricycles and pedicabs, the jeepneys are the most used mode of transportation into andfro the city due to the narrow width of the main thoroughfares. There are around 856jeepneys servicing the city commuters.Table 3.5. Inventory of Public Utility Jeepneys and Service Routes (2016)Public Utility Jeepneys(PUJ)1. Navotas – Malabon2.

Other Modes of Transportation3.2.2.2.1. Public Utility BusThe presence of the Navotas City Transport Terminal contributed to theimprovement of the accessibility of the city. This terminal houses buses bound toAlabang and Baclaran. In addition, it does not only help in the accessibility of thecity, but also increases the city’s income generating capacity.3.2.2.2.2. Tricycles and PedicabsOther means of transportation in Navotas city are the tricycles and pedicabs.These vehicles were patronized by the citizens because these vehicles have theability to access the narrow streets and alleyways of the city that are not part ofthe route of the PUJs and PUBs.3.2.2.2.3. FerriesGiven the geographical location of Navotas which is surrounded by water, thecity utilized and took advantage of the waterways around the city as analternative mode of transportation. This is evidenced by the presence of thedifferent ferry stations along the Navotas River.3.0 Sectoral Profile37

Traffic Congested AreasLike the rest of Metro Manila, the City of Navotas is not exempted to traffic and vehiclecongestions. The traffic management officers try their very best to direct traffic flow andimprove traffic management by the provision of CCTV cameras. It is common toencounter delays when going to or from Navotas. Land traffic in the city can be attributedto the existence of narrow roadways and intersections, growing volume of vehicles, androad obstructions.Traffic congestion usually occurs along the M. Naval and F. Pascual streets due to theincrease in the number of motor vehicles traversing the area and the narrow roads. Theheavy traffic in the major roads specifically the R-10 and C-4 roads are caused by largevolume of vehicles, especially trucks carrying container vans, that travels through thesethoroughfares to get to the port area in Manila and to the neighboring cities.Table 3.6.

Comprehensive Traffic Management PlanWith the worsening traffic congestion, transport and traffic management studies shouldbe conducted to identify measures that will make the traffic operations of the city moreefficient. Currently, the City of Navotas is in the process of formulating theComprehensive Traffic Management Plan. The aim of the plan is to identify measures to3.0 Sectoral Profile38

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 2025address the present and future problems related to traffic; improve the operation of thein-city mass transportation; and determine the feasibility of alternative modes oftransportation and green transportations. The plan will be divided into two sections, theTransport Infrastructure Plan and the Transport Investment Plan. As of the writing, thecity has already completed the assessment of the existing transport and traffic situationand is now in the plan formulation proper.3.3.Social Services Facilities / Utilities / Amenities3.3.1. Health Facilities3.3.1.1. Navotas City HospitalThe increasing demand for an affordable health care and complete medical facilities isdue to the change in the socioeconomic status of the residents, demographic shifts, andthe changing lifestyle of the new generation.The Navotas City Hospital was conceptualized during the administration of the thenMayor and now Congressman Tobias M. Tiangco. Unfortunately, the project was notpushed through due to financial constraints. Since the citizens are still in need of a moreadvanced health facility to cater to their health needs, the present administration ofMayor John Reynald M. Tiangco decided to start the construction of a hospital, whichcan be considered as the biggest project of this administration.There are certain diseases afflicting many Navoteños that requires referral to thesecondary level of health care. Navoteños are dependent on hospital services providedby neighboring cities which are already catering to a large part of their citizens.The Navotas City Hospital aims to provide quality and compassionate secondary careservices to Navoteños, especially the financially challenged, at no cost or minimal cost tothe patient at the point of care and to provide a continuum of care and referral from theprimary services to secondary services and back. The hospital is a Level One (I) hospitalintended to cater to the medical needs of Navoteños. It is located along M. Naval St. atBarangay San Jose.Figure 3.5.Perspective of the NavotasCity Hospital3.0 Sectoral Profile39

COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN2016 - 20253.3.2. Housing and Informal SettlementsThe geographical location of Navotas and the presence of opportunities in the fishingindustry of the city lure informal settler families to reside in the city. These familiesusually build their shanties along the coast and riverways.In compliance with Article 51 of P.D. 1067, otherwise known as the Water Code of thePhilippines which provides that:“The banks of the rivers and streams and the shores of the seas and lakesthroughout their entire length and within a zone of three (3) meters in urbanareas, twenty (20) meters in agricultural areas and forty (40) meters in forestareas, along their margins, are subject to the easement of public use in theinterest of recreation, navigation, floatage, fishing and salvage. No person shallbe allowed to stay in this zone longer than what is necessary for recreation,navigation, floatage, fishing or salvage or to build structures of any kind.”Likewise, the Supreme Court Mandamus ordered the cleanup, rehabilitation andpreservation of Manila Bay and to maintain its water to SB Level (class B water perWater Classification Tables under DENR Administrative Order No. 34 (1990)) to makethem fit for swimming, skin diving and other recreational activities.As an initiative of the City Government to address the problem on housing, varioushousing projects were constructed for in-city relocation. A Relocation/ResettlementAction Plan was formulated by the Local Inter-Agency Committee (LIAC) which aims toclear the easement areas from all structures and convert these easements into linearparks for public use.In accordance with the above-cited laws, the Department of the Interior and LocalGovernment (DILG) launched “Oplan Likas” Program, which aims to relocate ISFs alongthe water
