LAND AREA

Mandaluyong has a total land area of 1,126[1] hectares. This constitutes 1.77 % of the 636 sq. km.[2] total land area of Metro Manila. The city is composed of 27 barangays, divided into two (2) political districts (Map 4.01). The four (4) largest barangays are Wack-Wack which comprises one-fourth (288.50 has.) of the city’s total land area, followed by Brgy. Addition Hills at about 10.70% (120.36 has.), third and fourth in the list are Brgys. Highway Hills and Plainview at about ten percent each, or 116.12 and 108.88 has., respectively (Table 4.01).

LAND CHARACTERISTICS

The city’s terrain is partially flat on its southwest portion and mostly rolling with gentle slopes the rest of the area. Its river coast spreads at an elevation of three (3) meters and is supported by concrete embankments. Its higher slopes on the northeast provide an ideal setting for a world-class golf course. Ironically, the lowest point lies a little bit inland and is most often affected by flash floods (Map 4.02).

While its surface area is mostly covered with loose to granular clay loam and granular clay, Mandaluyong is actually lying on a solid foundation of compact and massive adobe. These soil characteristics define soil types nos. 17 and 18, commonly called Novaliches Clay Loam Adobe, and Guadalupe Clay (Map 4.03).

WATER CHARACTERISTICS

Mandaluyong is partially bounded by surface waters (Map 4.04) such as the famous Pasig River and its tributary San Juan River running along the southern and western perimeters of the city, with six creeks traversing inland serving as natural drainage:

  1. Buhangin Creek
  2. Maytunas Creek
  3. Maysilo Creek
  4. Mayon Creek
  5. Buayang Bato Creek
  6. Ermitaño Creek

CLIMATOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Generally speaking, the main Philippine air currents are divided into three groups: (a) the northern (loosely called Northeast Monsoon or Amihan in Filipino); (b) the equatorial air (loosely called the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in Filipino); and (c) the trade winds, reaching the islands from a generally easterly direction and coming from the tropical high pressure areas of the Pacific. Because of topography and decided mountain ranges in the east shielding Metro Manila and all the regions on the western part of the islands of Luzon, Mindoro, Negros and Palawan from the Northern and in good part the Trade winds; these regions are open only to the Southwest Monsoon and cyclonic storms[3].

Mandaluyong City experiences the same climatic conditions prevailing over the whole of Metro Manila which are being monitored by Station 430 of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) located at Science Garden in Quezon City.

There are two pronounced seasons: one dry from November to April, the other wet during the rest of the year. PAGASA observations covering the period 1961-2017 reveal that the months of June to October normally had the greatest number of rainy days, with the month of September 2009 having the highest amount of daily rainfall at 455 mm. Temperature was highest in May 1987 and lowest in March 1963 at 38.5°C and 14.9°C, respectively.

A summary of extreme climatological observations recorded by PAGASA from 1961 to year 2017 is shown in Table 4.02.

Table 4.03 shows the extent of rainfall amount per month and annually from January 2000 to July 2018. For comparison, Normal Values for the period 1981 – 2010 recorded from the same observation station are presented in Table 4.04.

VULNERABILITY TO GEOHAZARDS

Earthquakes

An earthquake can be an imperceptible ground shaking or a violent movement caused by the sudden displacement of rock materials below the surface of the earth. Two types of earthquake may occur (tectonic or volcanic), but only tectonic earthquakes caused by sudden displacement along faults in the earth’s construction may affect Mandaluyong which is near the West Valley Fault. Fortunately, Mandaluyong sits on an adobe bedrock covered by a thin layer of soil and is classified as within a Very Low Risk area least likely to be affected by high intensity earthquakes.

For more information, the Risk Analysis Project (RAP) of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology released 5 maps on the potential effects in Mandaluyong City of a Magnitude 7.2 earthquake (Maps 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08).

Typhoons

Typhoons during the wet season greatly affect the city and the rest of Metro Manila. Damage to property and risk to lives are among the major effects of typhoon. Secondary to these are flash floods that severely affect the lowland areas.

Maps 4.09 and 4.10 show areas in the city with risks of liquefaction and rain–induced landslide as identified by the READY FOR GMMA PROJECT.

Flooding

Flood prone areas in the city are generally those with lower elevation serving as catchment areas to the uplands. These areas are at random parts of the city given its natural topography where some points are even lower than the Pasig River shoreline, e.g., a spot height at Maysilo Circle fronting San Francisco Street is 2.0 meters while spot heights along Pasig River are at 3.0 meters. Streets near the creeks are mostly affected due to its point of Zero (0) slope where all the flow of water in the drainage is conveyed into creeks.

Heavy rains, even of short duration, result to flooding in some areas of Mandaluyong. Most prone to flooding are barangays Plainview along Maysilo Circle, New Zaniga along P. Cruz and Boni Ave., Hagdang Bato Ibaba along Shaw Blvd. and Acacia Lane. During stormy weather, these areas expand to cover barangays in the vicinity of Pasig and San Juan Rivers. However, there are certain areas in higher elevations identified as flood prone which point to the fact that other factors may have caused flooding, e.g., reduced capacity of natural waterways due to sedimentation.

Definition of Terms:

Climatological Normals

Period averages computed for a uniform and relative long period comprising at least three (3) consecutive 10-year period.

Rainfall (column 2)

The amount of precipitation (rain, hail, etc.) expressed in millimeters depth, of the layer of the water which has fallen.

Rainy Days (column 3)

A rainy day is defined as a period of 24 hours beginning at 8AM to 8AM of the next day during which 0.1 mm of rain is recorded.

Maximum Temperature (column 4)

The maximum temperature in °C recorded for the day, usually occurring in the early afternoon.

Minimum Temperature (column 5)

The minimum temperature in °C recorded for the day, usually occurring during early hours of the morning (before sunrise).

Mean Temperature (column 6)

Dry Bulb Temperature (column 7)

It gives the air temperature in °C at the time of observation.

Wet Bulb Temperature (column 8)

It gives the temperature in °C that an air parcel would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation at constant pressure by evaporating water in it.

Dew Point Temperature (column 9)

The temperature in °C at a given pressure, to which the air must be cooled to become saturated. It is the temperature when atmospheric moisture begins to condense to liquid forming “dew” upon objects.

Vapor Pressure (column 10)

Denotes the partial pressure of water vapor in atmosphere. As the water evaporates, additional water vapor is introduced into space above and pressure increases slightly as the new vapor is added. The increasing pressure is due to an increase in the partial pressure of water vapor.

Relative Humidity (column 11)

The ratio of the amount of water vapor actually in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at that temperature.

Mean Sea Level Pressure (column 12)

The force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on a unit area at the mean sea level. It is also the atmospheric pressure at mean sea level.

Prevailing Winds (columns 13 & 14)

The prevailing wind direction most frequently observed during a given period while the average wind speed in meters per second is the arithmetic average of the observed wind speed.

Cloud Amount (column 15)

The amount of cloud present in the sky, expressed in oktas of the sky cover. Okta is the function denoting cloud amount and is equal to 1/8 of the whole sky.

Days with Thunderstorm (column 16a)

A thunderstorm day is defined as an observational day during which thunder is at station.

Days with Lightning (column 16b)

A day with lightning is reported whenever lightning is observed.

Maps 4.11 AND 4.12 from the READY FOR GMMA PROJECT and RAP, respectively, show areas in the city with flood hazard and estimated damages due to such flood.

Map 4.13 shows the result of a study conducted by a local technical team from the Mandaluyong City Planning and Development Department clustering flood prone barangays based on tributary areas and common directional flow of drainage facilities existing in these barangays.

BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Flora

Once abundant with trees that provided wood for furniture-making, the natural vegetation in the city has been reduced to rows of full-grown acacia trees lining the shoulders of Acacia Lane and sparse stands of trees in private lots, subdivisions and school compounds.

Urban forestry has been introduced along sidewalks and center-island of roads, in spare yards around public buildings and pocket and linear parks along Pasig River. The cultivated vegetation are mostly ornamental plants, a few fruit-bearing trees and flowery shrubs.

A small nursery that supplies the greening project of the city is being maintained within the Welfareville Compound along Martinez St.

In support to the award-winning Nutrition Program of the city, community gardens of vegetables and medicinal herbs are being promoted and maintained not only in flat pocket areas but also as vertical gardens along perimeter walls and wire mesh structures.

Wack-Wack, home to an 18-hole golf course, is covered in green ornamental grass and cultivated trees.

Fauna

There is no record of fauna species in Mandaluyong except for domesticated animals such as dogs and cats and other household pets like rabbits, white mice and love birds. Common birds and insects could also be found in the periphery such as maya, a variety of butterflies and other garden insects.

Common species of fish can be found in the Pasig River such as the janitor fish, kanduli, gurami, etc.

LAND USE

Development Trends

Mandaluyong used to be a forestral agricultural town with rolling terrain, vast grasslands, and marshlands. Its inaccessibility to Manila and adjacent municipalities due to absence of connecting roads rendered Mandaluyong the most backward amongst municipalities now comprising Metropolitan Manila.

Urbanization gradually began halfway through the 20th Century with the construction of Sevilla Bridge connecting to Manila, and EDSA, then called Highway 54, as well as the improvement of Shaw Blvd. Very few open spaces remained by late 1980’s as industrial sites, commercial strips and residential subdivisions developed.

By 1990, Mandaluyong was about 39.35% residential, 7.88% Commercial, 12.92% industrial, 9.50% institutional, and 30.29% open space (a combination of parks, road networks, cemetery, vacant).

Now centrally located in the major transport network in Metropolitan Manila, Mandaluyong suddenly becomes an ideal location for large business and commercial establishments of global standards. This led to commercialization of land strips along prominent roads such as Ortigas Ave., Martinez, San Francisco, Sgt. Bumatay, Barangka Drive, Gen. Kalentong, Shaw Boulevard, and Pioneer Streets.

Classification of Mandaluyong into a highly urbanized city in 1994 led to further intensification of land uses. By 1995, commercial activities, mostly in the form of medium to high rise structures, covered about 13.30% of the city land area.

Planned development of the area bounded by Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong-Pasig boundary, the Pasig River, and EDSA from a Medium Intensity Industrial Zone into a Central Business District came about in 1997 as the city’s response to major redevelopment projects in prime areas in the Metropolis. Expansion of Ortigas Center and development of Fort Bonifacio CBD have the most considerable influence as these areas are in the immediate vicinity of the Mandaluyong CBD. Gradual dispersal of industries from this area to areas outside Metro Manila was manifested by the rise of towering structures such as the Pioneer Highlands, City Square Pioneer, the Legend Hotel, restaurants, furniture shops and other commercial and residential establishments.

Elsewhere in the city proliferated multi-level residential and office condominiums as well as middle-class residential subdivisions, further reducing industrial areas by 1.97% in 1998.

At the turn of the century, commercial activities originally confined to strips along prominent roads appeared in random with institutions and industrial activities, within large expanse of residential areas.

While residential use remains the dominant use in the city, parks and open spaces for public use were in short supply, despite the presence of two large open spaces, one in Brgy. Wack-Wack in the northern part of the city that is actually the Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club and exclusively private, and the other in Brgy. Addition Hills − a Planned Unit Development area.

As reflected in the 2001 Land Use Map (Map 14), one can reasonably conclude that development of the city is directed towards full commercialization, not only due to attracting more investors, but also with the tendency of the residents to engage in more economically productive activities as manifested by the proliferation of commercial activities within residential zones.

By the year 2004, Mandaluyong is 36.84 percent Residential, 17.55 percent Commercial, 7.18 percent Institutional, 5.33 percent Industrial and 33.09 percent open space and others.

In 2006, the city is 34.57% residential, 21.45% commercial, 8.05% institutional, 3.39% industrial, and the rest is open space of 32.54% including roads, parks, vacant land, cemetery and rivers (Map 4.15).

By 2011, residential area in hectares has increased to 43.78% while commercial use decreased to 20.58%[4] (Map 4.16).

Coming to year 2017, residential area decreased to 39.47% while commercial increased to 23.79% and mixed development in the form of condominium villages and condotels, a mix of hotel and condominium units, took up 8.42% of the land area in Mandaluyong.5

APPROVED LAND USE PLAN 2017 - 2032

The Comprehensive Development Plan of the City[5], approved by the Housing and Regulatory Board on April 16, 2001, was updated and also approved by the board on November 21, 2017. The CDP 2017-2032 features a Land Use Plan that clearly defines the four general land use policy areas of (1) Settlement, (2) Production, (3) Infrastructure and (4) Open Space Preservation with the addition of Surface Waters & Air Space Utilization.

Changes in people’s lifestyles and beliefs, government policies and global development trends have greatly influenced the decision to revise the Land Use Plan. Consequently, the existing Zoning Ordinance has been revised and updated by Ordinance No. 664, S-2017 on June 2, 2017 to effectively implement the plan. Table 4.05 shows a comparative area coverage of target land uses between the two latest Land Use Plans.

LAND USE REGULATORY MEASURES

Mandaluyong City is the first local government unit to adopt a Zoning Ordinance that implements the principle of Development Charges. Such Development Charges are applicable to appeals on zoning variation specifically on maximum allowable height or floor area ratio of the proposed vertical structure granted approval by the Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Specific development charge is applied on a 25% increment of the total additional building height or floor area ratio generated but not exceeding 50% of the original maximum allowable building height or floor area ratio.

Land Use Related Problems

As the city continuously transform towards global competitiveness, higher quality of life is expected such that pockets of blighted/problem areas brought about by intensification of land uses remain a priority concern of the city government.

The following summarizes problem situations identified in a study[6] led by the City Planning and Development Department.

Blighted Areas

Blighted areas in the city are characterized mainly by the presence of informal settlements, old and dilapidated buildings prone to fire or collapse in case of ground shaking, unlit public spaces such as roadways where streetlights are spaced too far apart or have busted light bulbs, and solid wastes leftover after the scheduled collection by trucks.

Illegal Parking

It is commonly observed that illegal parking is the main cause of road blocking and congestion, either in the form of double parking or parking and waiting area for Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) despite existence of a city Ordinance on One Side Parking and designated tow-away zones. While provision of appropriate parking space is a requirement for issuance of Locational Clearance and Building Permit for new structures and structures for renovation, parking space for existing structures are limited to what was originally provided in its design and the use of sidewalks and even portion of the road.

At present, the barangays are still in various stages of localizing and implementing the One-side Parking Ordinance.

Encroached Setbacks

Another urban development issue that is very visible is the occupation of open spaces even as small as the mandatory setbacks from roads and waterways. While informal settler families are the typical violators of this land use regulation having no other options to establish their homes, encroachment by the private sector has become a common scenario as well. While there are other residences that have utilized the sidewalks and even portion of the road as their front yards and parking space as shown in the previous sections of this report, it can also be observed that small services like vulcanizing shops, car wash and even canteens and flea market stalls have become rampant even on secondary and main roads such as Boni Avenue, F. Blumentritt St., P. Oliveros St., and Barangka Drive among others. These activities not only cause obstruction and deny the public the benefit of sidewalks, but also generate both liquid and solid wastes that eventually find its way to the drainage system and waterways.

Another cause of obstruction on sidewalks are utility boxes of telecommunication companies, another likely spot for dumping wastes.

INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES AND UTILITIES


TRANSPORTATION

1. Accessibility

The city is provided with good access roads to and from adjacent cities and municipalities. As emphasized in the previous sections, accessibility is among the city’s prime advantages. Considered as the heart of Metropolitan Manila, main roads such as EDSA, Ortigas Ave. and Shaw Blvd. provide inter-city linkages while Boni Ave. and Martinez Ave. oftentimes serve as alternate routes. A total of 39 concrete bridges (Table 4.06) connect gaps in the road network while several minor roads provide additional access from San Juan City. All in all, the city has 32 entries and exit points[7], and these can be seen in Map 4.18.

Also shown are network interchanges designed to facilitate crossing and access to EDSA, as well as existing and proposed rail transport lines traversing the city.

2. Road Pattern and Density

At present, the city is served with a total of 80.933 km of concrete and asphalt paved roads (excluding subdivision roads) giving off a total road density of 7.19 km/100 hectares of land, way above the standard ratio of 1 km/100 Ha for Metro Manila, making Mandaluyong City actually over-served with roads. This, however, does not ensure efficiency of the road network, which is also affected by socio-economic factors, land use characteristics, and the environmental condition of the area it serves. An inventory of bridges and roads is shown in Tables 4.07 and 4.08.

MODES OF TRANSPORT

1. Land Transportation

Being an inland city and generally flat but for a few gentle slopes, internal circulation is land-based utilizing different modes of transportation such as public utility jeepneys and tricycles, private cars and the rail transit system. Of these, the most popular is the jeepney, considering the income class of majority of the commuters and its economic advantage over the car in relatively short distances within and outside the city’s periphery. Public utility jeepneys have 12 terminals (Map 4.19) in the city and circulate the city plying inter-city routes reaching the cities of Manila, San Juan, Makati, Pasig, and the Rizal Province. Internal road networks are served by motorized tricycles with around 4 terminals scattered in the city in 4 zones (Map 4.20) to regulate operations and with established routes that avoid main thoroughfares.

Electric tricycles (e-trike) are becoming popular as alternative environment-friendly transportation serving both interior and major thoroughfares except EDSA and Ortigas Avenue. To date, the city has already signed an agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the turn-over of 170 units of e-tricycles as a result of the pilot testing of the city for the feasibility of e-trike to be used and incorporated into Metro Manila Cities and promotion of e-trikes as the environment-friendly alternative to transportation in Metro Manila. An E-Tricycle Division under the Traffic and Parking Management Department is currently under works. The targeted drivers/beneficiaries of E-Trike Units from different TODAs concentrated on Zone I (Pioneer Business District) and Zone II (Crossing, Highway Hills) are scheduled for orientation by DOE and the manufacturers of the E-Trike units on January 25, 2019 regarding the benefits of using the said units and operation and maintenance of units to be followed by on-site testing of the units on San Francisco St.

Commuters traveling the length of EDSA commonly use the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) considerably called as the regular commuter’s bus. However, the bus is still preferred by some due to its more direct access to both origin and destination in the vicinity of EDSA and as well as the fact that buses are available on a 24-hour basis while the rail transit operates within a scheduled routine from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily. When traversing the city, North-South bound and East-West bound buses are confined along EDSA and Ortigas Avenue and Shaw Boulevard, respectively.

The advent of Transport-Network Vehicle Services or TNVS provided additional options to commuters and contributed to the reduction of demand for transportation and temporary parking areas.

2. Water Transportation

The presence of the Pasig River stretching along the south border of the city provides an alternative route and mode of transport for cargo freight of industries along the river. Commuters opting for a more direct and faster route to and from the cities of Makati and Manila cross the river on a small boat either pulled by ropes or powered by a motor. The location of water transport terminals or “Tawiran” are shown in Map 4.21.

WATER SUPPLY

1. Water Distribution System

Generally, the city is supplied by the Manila Water Company Inc. (MWCI), a private waterworks system whose network covers eight local government units in the eastern part of Metro Manila, and derives water from major water shed areas in the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal and Quezon.

2. Status of Water Service

As of February 2018, the city is 100% served by the MWCI with an average of 24 hours of Level 3 water service per day which consumes an average of 33 to 34 Million Cubic Meters a year. Although the water from the main distribution system is maintained safe for drinking, more and more households are getting cautious so as to use this water mostly for laundry and bathing purposes only. Drinking water is more often bought from water filter and refilling stations and this is evidenced by proliferation of such stations along both major and interior roads in the city.

In addition to piped water supply, the MWCI participates in special programs of the city by providing water stations and drinking fountains, and desludging septic tanks of households and businesses at no added cost as part of their efforts to improve sewerage and sewage water treatment to help conserve water bodies.

3. Water Sampling and Monitoring

The Sanitation Division of the City Health Office conducts regular monitoring of water sources on various places such as schools and restaurants, as well as all water refilling stations operating within the city.

POWER SUPPLY

1. Existing Facilities and Equipment

Power services in the city are provided by the Manila Electric Co. (MERALCO) through six 115 KV sub-transmission systems: the Mandaluyong substation and SM-Shangrila Substation, both

located within the city; and the Pandacan, Rockwell, Sta. Ana and Meralco Substations. Electricity is distributed to the users through 34.5 KV Distribution System and 6.24 KV Distribution System (Map 4.22) the latter serving portions of Brgy. Addition Hills north of Shaw Blvd. and certain areas on the western part of the city.

2. Status of Electrification

Existing distribution system covers almost the entire city. As of year 2018, there are a total of 99.11% out of 110,561 households with electric utility service as reported by MERALCO for the Cities Competitiveness Index for 2018.

Very few households remain unserved most probably due to their economic status and location in depressed areas, though majority of households in these areas have already benefited from the Depressed Areas Electrification Program (DAEP) of MERALCO.

DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE

1. Natural Drainage

Surface runoffs drain from the rolling slopes and high plains to six creeks: Maytunas, Buhangin, Maysilo, Mayon, Buayang Bato and Ermitanio, and eventually flow to San Juan and Pasig Rivers. A small creek called Wack-Wack Creeck by the residents of Brgy. Wack-Wack Greenhills-East traverses the village but is not reflected in the map.[8]

2. Man-made Drainage 3. Existing Drainage System

To collect surface runoffs and carry it off to receiving water bodies, the city developed a network of Reinforced Concrete Pipes with sizes varying from 24ӯ, 30ӯ, and 60ӯ and covered line canals lining all city and barangay roads. This network connects to main drainage facilities lining national roads. Details of the whole drainage network serving the city are reflected in Map 4.23.

It is important to note that while all circulation roads are served with drainage facilities, the map reflects only those with records updated since 1986. Records of sizes and types of drainage facilities installed prior to 1986 are not available at the moment, and so are those along private subdivision roads which are maintained and operated by the subdivision management.

1. Installation and Maintenance

All national projects including roads and drainage facilities are implemented and maintained by the Department and Public Works and Highways. Its counterpart at the local level is the City Engineering Department which is responsible for all local roads and drainage facilities in Mandaluyong.

De-clogging and de-silting of drainage and other efforts such as cleaning, clearing of debris, upgrading of drainage system, dredging and de-silting of creeks, rehabilitation and repair of creek walls are provided as immediate actions to lessen and prevent flooding. To keep these facilities from working and free of objectionable matters, mechanical “Vactor” and other manual systems are used in the operation.

On-going and proposed drainage rehabilitation and flood control projects are shown indicatively in Map 4.24.

1. Causes of Flooding
  • Clogged Drainage Facilities

While the city may be adequately served with drainage facilities considering the lengths and sizes involved, flooded areas and heavy traffic in rainy days point to its inefficiency. For one, rubbish unconscionably discarded on streets and other public places eventually find its way to manholes and drainage pipes and canals, thereby clogging the system. Worse, there are instances wherein worn-out household appliances and dead animals are found in the system during de-clogging operations.

  • Overflowing of Creeks and Rivers

Pasig River serves as the main outlet of Laguna Lake, Marikina and San Juan Rivers, and other small tributaries. Siltation, sunken derelicts, and other matters thrown into the river considerably lessen its carrying capacity causing it to overflow especially on heavy rains and stormy weather. The same goes with creeks which serve as sewer and garbage dumps to those illegally occupying its shoreline.

3. Sewerage

Sewerage system in the city is in the form of individual septic tanks for small structures and wastewater treatment facilities for larger commercial and industrial establishments. Both methods discharge effluent to the drainage system and the eventually to Pasig and San Juan Rivers.

Desludging of septic tanks is served by the MWCI normally scheduled by cluster of structures or by barangay. With the acquisition of a land parcel somewhere in the vicinity of G. Aglipay St. by the MWCI, the city is looking forward to being served by a combined drainage and sewer system that will capture wastewater from creeks and drainage outfalls[9].

COMMUNICATIONS

1. Print

Being at the heart of the Greater Metro Manila, Mandaluyong enjoys access to a complete array of national newspapers, tabloids and magazines of metro-wide, national and international circulations every day. Broadsheets like Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Business World, and Tabloids like Balita, Tempo, Abante, Remate are easily available to purchase in any sari-sari store or general merchandise stores.

2. Publication

The city produces its own yearly publication, the Ulat sa Bayan, in both English and Tagalog format, which chronicles the events, achievements, programs, and projects of the city mayor and the city council.

To continuously promote good governance, the city issues occasional newsletter/s to encourage people’s participation and involvement in resolving public issues, problems and other development needs.

3. Cable TV/TV

Mandaluyong is serviced by various cable television network providers which include Cignal TV, ABS-CBN TV Plus, Destiny Cable, Sky Cable, and Sun Cable. TV Reception through antennas are also widely used especially in Welfareville Compound Area as the financial capability of households living in the said area is not enough to allow for cable subscriptions. One of the famous TV Network Stations, TV5, is situated along Sheridan St.

4. Radio

Two AM radio stations are actually based in the city, but radio lovers enjoy a variety of choices for FM and AM stations based in the neighboring cities and municipalities. The two broadcast media networks are 94.7 DWLL on FM and 1098 KHZ DWAD on AM frequencies. In addition, other radio stations, either AM or FM radio stations, can be easily accessed in any radio device or integrated in cellular phones, making it easier to tune in for news updates and wide variety of programs.

5. Postal Service

Computerized postal services are discharged by the Mandaluyong Central Post Office housed on a modern structure located within the City Hall compound. The service counters utilize the Postage Automatic Counter Services (PACS) Computers designed to expedite accurate mailing procedures. At present, seventy-three (73) postal employees are serving the entire city. To facilitate delivery of incoming mails, service areas are clustered into around forty-five (45) delivery beats, each manned by a letter carrier.

6. Mobile and Land-based Telephone Service

The technological age of fast-paced communi-cation and digital images brought forth a variety of mobile and land-based telephone networks servicing the Mandaluyong area. For mobile telephone service, competing players are Smart Communications (which owns Smart, Talk and Text, and Sun Cellular) and Globe Telecoms (which owns or manages Globe, Touch Mobile, ABS-CBN Mobile, and Cherry Mobile) who enjoy citywide patronage with their ever-improving marketing promotions.

For land-based communications, the following are the service providers: (1) Globelines, (2) Digitel, (3) PLDT, (4) Islacom, and (5) Bayantel.

7. Telegraph and Courier Services

With the growing popularity of electronic communication, telegram services have declined over the years. However, there are still a few who provide telegram services like the RCPI. On the other hand, Courier service companies are becoming more needed with advancements like online and mobile shopping. Companies like LBC, Xend, JRS Express, and Pawnshops, Money transfer and remittance centers like Cebuana Lhuiller, ML Kwarta Padala, Palawan Express provide an easy alternative to fast communication with their on-demand delivery services, be it money transfers, plain written communications, and packages.

8. Electronic Communication

Various social media such as E-mails, Chatting, Messaging and Internet accessing, downloading, streaming, and patronage of various social media applications have become so much a part of modern city life. It is now the best way of connecting to anyone anywhere around the globe which guarantees almost instant response and interaction. Internet connections are easy to obtain while access to internet services are readily available in computer centers, internet cafés and shopping malls, most of which have Wi-Fi connections to serve the needs of businessmen, students, and the net enthusiasts (commonly coined as Netizens) who are always on the go. Telephone service companies usually also offer Internet connection with varying speeds and capabilities. Mobile internet browsing (termed as data usage) is sometimes also included in telephone service packages like call and text plans in all servers. PLDT-Smart, Globe, and SKY Broadband are the forerunners of internet connectivity in the metro.

The advent of call center services has put the City of Mandaluyong in the center stage of Information Communication Technology arena. As a result of the improving suitability of doing business in the city, the number of business proponents applying for a Sanggunian Resolution declaring their businesses as IT centers are increasing through the years which gave rise to the proliferation of different ICT-related companies such as call center companies like Sykes, Acquire, RingCentral, Convergys, etc. To meet the demand for call center agents, seven schools have put up training centers which include the RTU – a State University located along Boni Avenue. The K to 12 curriculum of the Department of Education, as adapted in all schools in Mandaluyong, and the Mandaluyong Manpower Technical-Vocational Training Center (MMTVTC) also caters to the rise of ICT-related industries and jobs by offering related courses in specific strands and courses.

PHYSICAL AND SPATIAL CHARACTERISTICS


LAND AREA

Mandaluyong has a total land area of 1,126[1] hectares. This constitutes 1.77 % of the 636 sq. km.[2] total land area of Metro Manila. The city is composed of 27 barangays, divided into two (2) political districts (Map 4.01). The four (4) largest barangays are Wack-Wack which comprises one-fourth (288.50 has.) of the city’s total land area, followed by Brgy. Addition Hills at about 10.70% (120.36 has.), third and fourth in the list are Brgys. Highway Hills and Plainview at about ten percent each, or 116.12 and 108.88 has., respectively (Table 4.01).

LAND CHARACTERISTICS

The city’s terrain is partially flat on its southwest portion and mostly rolling with gentle slopes the rest of the area. Its river coast spreads at an elevation of three (3) meters and is supported by concrete embankments. Its higher slopes on the northeast provide an ideal setting for a world-class golf course. Ironically, the lowest point lies a little bit inland and is most often affected by flash floods (Map 4.02).

While its surface area is mostly covered with loose to granular clay loam and granular clay, Mandaluyong is actually lying on a solid foundation of compact and massive adobe. These soil characteristics define soil types nos. 17 and 18, commonly called Novaliches Clay Loam Adobe, and Guadalupe Clay (Map 4.03).

WATER CHARACTERISTICS

Mandaluyong is partially bounded by surface waters (Map 4.04) such as the famous Pasig River and its tributary San Juan River running along the southern and western perimeters of the city, with six creeks traversing inland serving as natural drainage:

  1. Buhangin Creek
  2. Maytunas Creek
  3. Maysilo Creek
  4. Mayon Creek
  5. Buayang Bato Creek
  6. Ermitaño Creek

CLIMATOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Generally speaking, the main Philippine air currents are divided into three groups: (a) the northern (loosely called Northeast Monsoon or Amihan in Filipino); (b) the equatorial air (loosely called the Southwest Monsoon or Habagat in Filipino); and (c) the trade winds, reaching the islands from a generally easterly direction and coming from the tropical high pressure areas of the Pacific. Because of topography and decided mountain ranges in the east shielding Metro Manila and all the regions on the western part of the islands of Luzon, Mindoro, Negros and Palawan from the Northern and in good part the Trade winds; these regions are open only to the Southwest Monsoon and cyclonic storms[3].

Mandaluyong City experiences the same climatic conditions prevailing over the whole of Metro Manila which are being monitored by Station 430 of the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA) located at Science Garden in Quezon City.

There are two pronounced seasons: one dry from November to April, the other wet during the rest of the year. PAGASA observations covering the period 1961-2017 reveal that the months of June to October normally had the greatest number of rainy days, with the month of September 2009 having the highest amount of daily rainfall at 455 mm. Temperature was highest in May 1987 and lowest in March 1963 at 38.5°C and 14.9°C, respectively.

A summary of extreme climatological observations recorded by PAGASA from 1961 to year 2017 is shown in Table 4.02.

Table 4.03 shows the extent of rainfall amount per month and annually from January 2000 to July 2018. For comparison, Normal Values for the period 1981 – 2010 recorded from the same observation station are presented in Table 4.04.

VULNERABILITY TO GEOHAZARDS

Earthquakes

An earthquake can be an imperceptible ground shaking or a violent movement caused by the sudden displacement of rock materials below the surface of the earth. Two types of earthquake may occur (tectonic or volcanic), but only tectonic earthquakes caused by sudden displacement along faults in the earth’s construction may affect Mandaluyong which is near the West Valley Fault. Fortunately, Mandaluyong sits on an adobe bedrock covered by a thin layer of soil and is classified as within a Very Low Risk area least likely to be affected by high intensity earthquakes.

For more information, the Risk Analysis Project (RAP) of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology released 5 maps on the potential effects in Mandaluyong City of a Magnitude 7.2 earthquake (Maps 4.05, 4.06, 4.07, 4.08).

Typhoons

Typhoons during the wet season greatly affect the city and the rest of Metro Manila. Damage to property and risk to lives are among the major effects of typhoon. Secondary to these are flash floods that severely affect the lowland areas.

Maps 4.09 and 4.10 show areas in the city with risks of liquefaction and rain–induced landslide as identified by the READY FOR GMMA PROJECT.

Flooding

Flood prone areas in the city are generally those with lower elevation serving as catchment areas to the uplands. These areas are at random parts of the city given its natural topography where some points are even lower than the Pasig River shoreline, e.g., a spot height at Maysilo Circle fronting San Francisco Street is 2.0 meters while spot heights along Pasig River are at 3.0 meters. Streets near the creeks are mostly affected due to its point of Zero (0) slope where all the flow of water in the drainage is conveyed into creeks.

Heavy rains, even of short duration, result to flooding in some areas of Mandaluyong. Most prone to flooding are barangays Plainview along Maysilo Circle, New Zaniga along P. Cruz and Boni Ave., Hagdang Bato Ibaba along Shaw Blvd. and Acacia Lane. During stormy weather, these areas expand to cover barangays in the vicinity of Pasig and San Juan Rivers. However, there are certain areas in higher elevations identified as flood prone which point to the fact that other factors may have caused flooding, e.g., reduced capacity of natural waterways due to sedimentation.

Definition of Terms:

Climatological Normals

Period averages computed for a uniform and relative long period comprising at least three (3) consecutive 10-year period.

Rainfall (column 2)

The amount of precipitation (rain, hail, etc.) expressed in millimeters depth, of the layer of the water which has fallen.

Rainy Days (column 3)

A rainy day is defined as a period of 24 hours beginning at 8AM to 8AM of the next day during which 0.1 mm of rain is recorded.

Maximum Temperature (column 4)

The maximum temperature in °C recorded for the day, usually occurring in the early afternoon.

Minimum Temperature (column 5)

The minimum temperature in °C recorded for the day, usually occurring during early hours of the morning (before sunrise).

Mean Temperature (column 6)

Mean Temp. = Maximum + Minimum / 2

Dry Bulb Temperature (column 7)

It gives the air temperature in °C at the time of observation.

Wet Bulb Temperature (column 8)

It gives the temperature in °C that an air parcel would have if cooled adiabatically to saturation at constant pressure by evaporating water in it.

Dew Point Temperature (column 9)

The temperature in °C at a given pressure, to which the air must be cooled to become saturated. It is the temperature when atmospheric moisture begins to condense to liquid forming “dew” upon objects.

Vapor Pressure (column 10)

Denotes the partial pressure of water vapor in atmosphere. As the water evaporates, additional water vapor is introduced into space above and pressure increases slightly as the new vapor is added. The increasing pressure is due to an increase in the partial pressure of water vapor.

Relative Humidity (column 11)

The ratio of the amount of water vapor actually in the air to the maximum amount the air can hold at that temperature.

Mean Sea Level Pressure (column 12)

The force exerted by the weight of the atmosphere on a unit area at the mean sea level. It is also the atmospheric pressure at mean sea level.

Prevailing Winds (columns 13 & 14)

The prevailing wind direction most frequently observed during a given period while the average wind speed in meters per second is the arithmetic average of the observed wind speed.

Cloud Amount (column 15)

The amount of cloud present in the sky, expressed in oktas of the sky cover. Okta is the function denoting cloud amount and is equal to 1/8 of the whole sky.

Days with Thunderstorm (column 16a)

A thunderstorm day is defined as an observational day during which thunder is at station.

Days with Lightning (column 16b)

A day with lightning is reported whenever lightning is observed.


Maps 4.11 AND 4.12 from the READY FOR GMMA PROJECT and RAP, respectively, show areas in the city with flood hazard and estimated damages due to such flood.

Map 4.13 shows the result of a study conducted by a local technical team from the Mandaluyong City Planning and Development Department clustering flood prone barangays based on tributary areas and common directional flow of drainage facilities existing in these barangays.

BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Flora

Once abundant with trees that provided wood for furniture-making, the natural vegetation in the city has been reduced to rows of full-grown acacia trees lining the shoulders of Acacia Lane and sparse stands of trees in private lots, subdivisions and school compounds.

Urban forestry has been introduced along sidewalks and center-island of roads, in spare yards around public buildings and pocket and linear parks along Pasig River. The cultivated vegetation are mostly ornamental plants, a few fruit-bearing trees and flowery shrubs.

A small nursery that supplies the greening project of the city is being maintained within the Welfareville Compound along Martinez St.

In support to the award-winning Nutrition Program of the city, community gardens of vegetables and medicinal herbs are being promoted and maintained not only in flat pocket areas but also as vertical gardens along perimeter walls and wire mesh structures.

Wack-Wack, home to an 18-hole golf course, is covered in green ornamental grass and cultivated trees.

Fauna

There is no record of fauna species in Mandaluyong except for domesticated animals such as dogs and cats and other household pets like rabbits, white mice and love birds. Common birds and insects could also be found in the periphery such as maya, a variety of butterflies and other garden insects.

Common species of fish can be found in the Pasig River such as the janitor fish, kanduli, gurami, etc.

LAND USE

Development Trends

Mandaluyong used to be a forestral agricultural town with rolling terrain, vast grasslands, and marshlands. Its inaccessibility to Manila and adjacent municipalities due to absence of connecting roads rendered Mandaluyong the most backward amongst municipalities now comprising Metropolitan Manila.

Urbanization gradually began halfway through the 20th Century with the construction of Sevilla Bridge connecting to Manila, and EDSA, then called Highway 54, as well as the improvement of Shaw Blvd. Very few open spaces remained by late 1980’s as industrial sites, commercial strips and residential subdivisions developed.

By 1990, Mandaluyong was about 39.35% residential, 7.88% Commercial, 12.92% industrial, 9.50% institutional, and 30.29% open space (a combination of parks, road networks, cemetery, vacant).

Now centrally located in the major transport network in Metropolitan Manila, Mandaluyong suddenly becomes an ideal location for large business and commercial establishments of global standards. This led to commercialization of land strips along prominent roads such as Ortigas Ave., Martinez, San Francisco, Sgt. Bumatay, Barangka Drive, Gen. Kalentong, Shaw Boulevard, and Pioneer Streets.

Classification of Mandaluyong into a highly urbanized city in 1994 led to further intensification of land uses. By 1995, commercial activities, mostly in the form of medium to high rise structures, covered about 13.30% of the city land area.

Planned development of the area bounded by Shaw Blvd., Mandaluyong-Pasig boundary, the Pasig River, and EDSA from a Medium Intensity Industrial Zone into a Central Business District came about in 1997 as the city’s response to major redevelopment projects in prime areas in the Metropolis. Expansion of Ortigas Center and development of Fort Bonifacio CBD have the most considerable influence as these areas are in the immediate vicinity of the Mandaluyong CBD. Gradual dispersal of industries from this area to areas outside Metro Manila was manifested by the rise of towering structures such as the Pioneer Highlands, City Square Pioneer, the Legend Hotel, restaurants, furniture shops and other commercial and residential establishments.

Elsewhere in the city proliferated multi-level residential and office condominiums as well as middle-class residential subdivisions, further reducing industrial areas by 1.97% in 1998.

At the turn of the century, commercial activities originally confined to strips along prominent roads appeared in random with institutions and industrial activities, within large expanse of residential areas.

While residential use remains the dominant use in the city, parks and open spaces for public use were in short supply, despite the presence of two large open spaces, one in Brgy. Wack-Wack in the northern part of the city that is actually the Wack-Wack Golf and Country Club and exclusively private, and the other in Brgy. Addition Hills − a Planned Unit Development area.

As reflected in the 2001 Land Use Map (Map 14), one can reasonably conclude that development of the city is directed towards full commercialization, not only due to attracting more investors, but also with the tendency of the residents to engage in more economically productive activities as manifested by the proliferation of commercial activities within residential zones.

By the year 2004, Mandaluyong is 36.84 percent Residential, 17.55 percent Commercial, 7.18 percent Institutional, 5.33 percent Industrial and 33.09 percent open space and others.

In 2006, the city is 34.57% residential, 21.45% commercial, 8.05% institutional, 3.39% industrial, and the rest is open space of 32.54% including roads, parks, vacant land, cemetery and rivers (Map 4.15).

By 2011, residential area in hectares has increased to 43.78% while commercial use decreased to 20.58%[4] (Map 4.16).

Coming to year 2017, residential area decreased to 39.47% while commercial increased to 23.79% and mixed development in the form of condominium villages and condotels, a mix of hotel and condominium units, took up 8.42% of the land area in Mandaluyong.5

APPROVED LAND USE PLAN 2017 - 2032

The Comprehensive Development Plan of the City[5], approved by the Housing and Regulatory Board on April 16, 2001, was updated and also approved by the board on November 21, 2017. The CDP 2017-2032 features a Land Use Plan that clearly defines the four general land use policy areas of (1) Settlement, (2) Production, (3) Infrastructure and (4) Open Space Preservation with the addition of Surface Waters & Air Space Utilization.

Changes in people’s lifestyles and beliefs, government policies and global development trends have greatly influenced the decision to revise the Land Use Plan. Consequently, the existing Zoning Ordinance has been revised and updated by Ordinance No. 664, S-2017 on June 2, 2017 to effectively implement the plan. Table 4.05 shows a comparative area coverage of target land uses between the two latest Land Use Plans.

LAND USE REGULATORY MEASURES

Mandaluyong City is the first local government unit to adopt a Zoning Ordinance that implements the

principle of Development Charges. Such Development Charges are applicable to appeals on zoning variation specifically on maximum allowable height or floor area ratio of the proposed vertical structure granted approval by the Local Zoning Board of Adjustment and Appeals. Specific development charge is applied on a 25% increment of the total additional building height or floor area ratio generated but not exceeding 50% of the original maximum allowable building height or floor area ratio.

  • Height Restrictions

Building height regulations and FAR for residential and commercial zones are summarized in (Table 4.06). Structures in other zones are subject to the height restrictions and requirements of the Air Transportation Office (ATO) as well as the requirements of the National Building Code, the Structural Code as well as all laws, ordinances, design standards, rules and regulations related to land development and building construction and the various safety codes.

  • Parking Regulations

Parking requirements are higher than the minimum prescribed under PD1097 (National Building Code)

  • Area Regulations

Area regulation in all zones is subject to the minimum requirements of the following statutes and regulations:

  1. PD 957 – The “Subdivision and Condominium Buyers “Protective Law” and its revised Implementing Rules and Regulations.
  2. BP 220 – “Promulgation of Different Levels of Standards and Technical Requirements for Economic and Socialized Housing Projects” and its revised implementing rules and regulations.

Zone Classifications for the City of Mandaluyong are reflected in Map 4.17 and Table 4.06.

Land Use Related Problems

As the city continuously transform towards global competitiveness, higher quality of life is expected such that pockets of blighted/problem areas brought about by intensification of land uses remain a priority concern of the city government.

The following summarizes problem situations identified in a study[6] led by the City Planning and Development Department.

Blighted Areas

Blighted areas in the city are characterized mainly by the presence of informal settlements, old and dilapidated buildings prone to fire or collapse in case of ground shaking, unlit public spaces such as roadways where streetlights are spaced too far apart or have busted light bulbs, and solid wastes leftover after the scheduled collection by trucks.

Illegal Parking

It is commonly observed that illegal parking is the main cause of road blocking and congestion, either in the form of double parking or parking and waiting area for Public Utility Jeepneys (PUJs) despite existence of a city Ordinance on One Side Parking and designated tow-away zones. While provision of appropriate parking space is a requirement for issuance of Locational Clearance and Building Permit for new structures and structures for renovation, parking space for existing structures are limited to what was originally provided in its design and the use of sidewalks and even portion of the road.

At present, the barangays are still in various stages of localizing and implementing the One-side Parking Ordinance.

Encroached Setbacks

Another urban development issue that is very visible is the occupation of open spaces even as small as the mandatory setbacks from roads and waterways. While informal settler families are the typical violators of this land use regulation having no other options to establish their homes, encroachment by the private sector has become a common scenario as well. While there are other residences that have utilized the sidewalks and even portion of the road as their front yards and parking space as shown in the previous sections of this report, it can also be observed that small services like vulcanizing shops, car wash and even canteens and flea market stalls have become rampant even on secondary and main roads such as Boni Avenue, F. Blumentritt St., P. Oliveros St., and Barangka Drive among others. These activities not only cause obstruction and deny the public the benefit of sidewalks, but also generate both liquid and solid wastes that eventually find its way to the drainage system and waterways.

Another cause of obstruction on sidewalks are utility boxes of telecommunication companies, another likely spot for dumping wastes.

INFRASTRUCTURE SERVICES AND UTILITIES


TRANSPORTATION

1. Accessibility

The city is provided with good access roads to and from adjacent cities and municipalities. As emphasized in the previous sections, accessibility is among the city’s prime advantages. Considered as the heart of Metropolitan Manila, main roads such as EDSA, Ortigas Ave. and Shaw Blvd. provide inter-city linkages while Boni Ave. and Martinez Ave. oftentimes serve as alternate routes. A total of 39 concrete bridges (Table 4.06) connect gaps in the road network while several minor roads provide additional access from San Juan City. All in all, the city has 32 entries and exit points[7], and these can be seen in Map 4.18.

Also shown are network interchanges designed to facilitate crossing and access to EDSA, as well as existing and proposed rail transport lines traversing the city.

2. Road Pattern and Density

At present, the city is served with a total of 80.933 km of concrete and asphalt paved roads (excluding subdivision roads) giving off a total road density of 7.19 km/100 hectares of land, way above the standard ratio of 1 km/100 Ha for Metro Manila, making Mandaluyong City actually over-served with roads. This, however, does not ensure efficiency of the road network, which is also affected by socio-economic factors, land use characteristics, and the environmental condition of the area it serves. An inventory of bridges and roads is shown in Tables 4.07 and 4.08.

MODES OF TRANSPORT

1. Land Transportation

Being an inland city and generally flat but for a few gentle slopes, internal circulation is land-based utilizing different modes of transportation such as public utility jeepneys and tricycles, private cars and the rail transit system. Of these, the most popular is the jeepney, considering the income class of majority of the commuters and its economic advantage over the car in relatively short distances within and outside the city’s periphery. Public utility jeepneys have 12 terminals (Map 4.19) in the city and circulate the city plying inter-city routes reaching the cities of Manila, San Juan, Makati, Pasig, and the Rizal Province. Internal road networks are served by motorized tricycles with around 4 terminals scattered in the city in 4 zones (Map 4.20) to regulate operations and with established routes that avoid main thoroughfares.

Electric tricycles (e-trike) are becoming popular as alternative environment-friendly transportation serving both interior and major thoroughfares except EDSA and Ortigas Avenue. To date, the city has already signed an agreement with the Department of Energy (DOE) and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) for the turn-over of 170 units of e-tricycles as a result of the pilot testing of the city for the feasibility of e-trike to be used and incorporated into Metro Manila Cities and promotion of e-trikes as the environment-friendly alternative to transportation in Metro Manila. An E-Tricycle Division under the Traffic and Parking Management Department is currently under works. The targeted drivers/beneficiaries of E-Trike Units from different TODAs concentrated on Zone I (Pioneer Business District) and Zone II (Crossing, Highway Hills) are scheduled for orientation by DOE and the manufacturers of the E-Trike units on January 25, 2019 regarding the benefits of using the said units and operation and maintenance of units to be followed by on-site testing of the units on San Francisco St.

Commuters traveling the length of EDSA commonly use the Metro Rail Transit (MRT) considerably called as the regular commuter’s bus. However, the bus is still preferred by some due to its more direct access to both origin and destination in the vicinity of EDSA and as well as the fact that buses are available on a 24-hour basis while the rail transit operates within a scheduled routine from 5:00 AM to 9:30 PM daily. When traversing the city, North-South bound and East-West bound buses are confined along EDSA and Ortigas Avenue and Shaw Boulevard, respectively.

The advent of Transport-Network Vehicle Services or TNVS provided additional options to commuters and contributed to the reduction of demand for transportation and temporary parking areas.

2. Water Transportation

The presence of the Pasig River stretching along the south border of the city provides an alternative route and mode of transport for cargo freight of industries along the river. Commuters opting for a more direct and faster route to and from the cities of Makati and Manila cross the river on a small boat either pulled by ropes or powered by a motor. The location of water transport terminals or “Tawiran” are shown in Map 4.21.

WATER SUPPLY

1. Water Distribution System

Generally, the city is supplied by the Manila Water Company Inc. (MWCI), a private waterworks system whose network covers eight local government units in the eastern part of Metro Manila, and derives water from major water shed areas in the provinces of Bulacan, Rizal and Quezon.

2. Status of Water Service

As of February 2018, the city is 100% served by the MWCI with an average of 24 hours of Level 3 water service per day which consumes an average of 33 to 34 Million Cubic Meters a year. Although the water from the main distribution system is maintained safe for drinking, more and more households are getting cautious so as to use this water mostly for laundry and bathing purposes only. Drinking water is more often bought from water filter and refilling stations and this is evidenced by proliferation of such stations along both major and interior roads in the city.

In addition to piped water supply, the MWCI participates in special programs of the city by providing water stations and drinking fountains, and desludging septic tanks of households and businesses at no added cost as part of their efforts to improve sewerage and sewage water treatment to help conserve water bodies.

Water Sampling and Monitoring

The Sanitation Division of the City Health Office conducts regular monitoring of water sources on various places such as schools and restaurants, as well as all water refilling stations operating within the city.

POWER SUPPLY

1. Existing Facilities and Equipment

Power services in the city are provided by the Manila Electric Co. (MERALCO) through six 115 KV sub-transmission systems: the Mandaluyong substation and SM-Shangrila Substation, both

located within the city; and the Pandacan, Rockwell, Sta. Ana and Meralco Substations. Electricity is distributed to the users through 34.5 KV Distribution System and 6.24 KV Distribution System (Map 4.22) the latter serving portions of Brgy. Addition Hills north of Shaw Blvd. and certain areas on the western part of the city.

2. Status of Electrification

Existing distribution system covers almost the entire city. As of year 2018, there are a total of 99.11% out of 110,561 households with electric utility service as reported by MERALCO for the Cities Competitiveness Index for 2018.

Very few households remain unserved most probably due to their economic status and location in depressed areas, though majority of households in these areas have already benefited from the Depressed Areas Electrification Program (DAEP) of MERALCO.

DRAINAGE AND SEWERAGE

1. Natural Drainage

Surface runoffs drain from the rolling slopes and high plains to six creeks: Maytunas, Buhangin, Maysilo, Mayon, Buayang Bato and Ermitanio, and eventually flow to San Juan and Pasig Rivers. A small creek called Wack-Wack Creeck by the residents of Brgy. Wack-Wack Greenhills-East traverses the village but is not reflected in the map.[8]

3. Man-made Drainage 4. Existing Drainage System

To collect surface runoffs and carry it off to receiving water bodies, the city developed a network of Reinforced Concrete Pipes with sizes varying from 24ӯ, 30ӯ, and 60ӯ and covered line canals lining all city and barangay roads. This network connects to main drainage facilities lining national roads. Details of the whole drainage network serving the city are reflected in Map 4.23.

It is important to note that while all circulation roads are served with drainage facilities, the map reflects only those with records updated since 1986. Records of sizes and types of drainage facilities installed prior to 1986 are not available at the moment, and so are those along private subdivision roads which are maintained and operated by the subdivision management.

1. Installation and Maintenance

All national projects including roads and drainage facilities are implemented and maintained by the Department and Public Works and Highways. Its counterpart at the local level is the City Engineering Department which is responsible for all local roads and drainage facilities in Mandaluyong.

De-clogging and de-silting of drainage and other efforts such as cleaning, clearing of debris, upgrading of drainage system, dredging and de-silting of creeks, rehabilitation and repair of creek walls are provided as immediate actions to lessen and prevent flooding. To keep these facilities from working and free of objectionable matters, mechanical “Vactor” and other manual systems are used in the operation.

On-going and proposed drainage rehabilitation and flood control projects are shown indicatively in Map 4.24.

1. Causes of Flooding
  • Clogged Drainage Facilities

While the city may be adequately served with drainage facilities considering the lengths and sizes involved, flooded areas and heavy traffic in rainy days point to its inefficiency. For one, rubbish unconscionably discarded on streets and other public places eventually find its way to manholes and drainage pipes and canals, thereby clogging the system. Worse, there are instances wherein worn-out household appliances and dead animals are found in the system during de-clogging operations.

  • Overflowing of Creeks and Rivers

Pasig River serves as the main outlet of Laguna Lake, Marikina and San Juan Rivers, and other small tributaries. Siltation, sunken derelicts, and other matters thrown into the river considerably lessen its carrying capacity causing it to overflow especially on heavy rains and stormy weather. The same goes with creeks which serve as sewer and garbage dumps to those illegally occupying its shoreline.

3. Sewerage

Sewerage system in the city is in the form of individual septic tanks for small structures and wastewater treatment facilities for larger commercial and industrial establishments. Both methods discharge effluent to the drainage system and the eventually to Pasig and San Juan Rivers.

Desludging of septic tanks is served by the MWCI normally scheduled by cluster of structures or by barangay. With the acquisition of a land parcel somewhere in the vicinity of G. Aglipay St. by the MWCI, the city is looking forward to being served by a combined drainage and sewer system that will capture wastewater from creeks and drainage outfalls[9].

COMMUNICATIONS

1. Print

Being at the heart of the Greater Metro Manila, Mandaluyong enjoys access to a complete array of national newspapers, tabloids and magazines of metro-wide, national and international circulations every day. Broadsheets like Manila Bulletin, Philippine Daily Inquirer, Business World, and Tabloids like Balita, Tempo, Abante, Remate are easily available to purchase in any sari-sari store or general merchandise stores.

2. Publication

The city produces its own yearly publication, the Ulat sa Bayan, in both English and Tagalog format, which chronicles the events, achievements, programs, and projects of the city mayor and the city council.

To continuously promote good governance, the city issues occasional newsletter/s to encourage people’s participation and involvement in resolving public issues, problems and other development needs.

3. Cable TV/TV

Mandaluyong is serviced by various cable television network providers which include Cignal TV, ABS-CBN TV Plus, Destiny Cable, Sky Cable, and Sun Cable. TV Reception through antennas are also widely used especially in Welfareville Compound Area as the financial capability of households living in the said area is not enough to allow for cable subscriptions. One of the famous TV Network Stations, TV5, is situated along Sheridan St.

4. Radio

Two AM radio stations are actually based in the city, but radio lovers enjoy a variety of choices for FM and AM stations based in the neighboring cities and municipalities. The two broadcast media networks are 94.7 DWLL on FM and 1098 KHZ DWAD on AM frequencies. In addition, other radio stations, either AM or FM radio stations, can be easily accessed in any radio device or integrated in cellular phones, making it easier to tune in for news updates and wide variety of programs.

5. Postal Service

Computerized postal services are discharged by the Mandaluyong Central Post Office housed on a modern structure located within the City Hall compound. The service counters utilize the Postage Automatic Counter Services (PACS) Computers designed to expedite accurate mailing procedures. At present, seventy-three (73) postal employees are serving the entire city. To facilitate delivery of incoming mails, service areas are clustered into around forty-five (45) delivery beats, each manned by a letter carrier.

6. Mobile and Land-based Telephone Service

The technological age of fast-paced communi-cation and digital images brought forth a variety of mobile and land-based telephone networks servicing the Mandaluyong area. For mobile telephone service, competing players are Smart Communications (which owns Smart, Talk and Text, and Sun Cellular) and Globe Telecoms (which owns or manages Globe, Touch Mobile, ABS-CBN Mobile, and Cherry Mobile) who enjoy citywide patronage with their ever-improving marketing promotions.

For land-based communications, the following are the service providers: (1) Globelines, (2) Digitel, (3) PLDT, (4) Islacom, and (5) Bayantel.

7. Telegraph and Courier Services

With the growing popularity of electronic communication, telegram services have declined over the years. However, there are still a few who provide telegram services like the RCPI. On the other hand, Courier service companies are becoming more needed with advancements like online and mobile shopping. Companies like LBC, Xend, JRS Express, and Pawnshops, Money transfer and remittance centers like Cebuana Lhuiller, ML Kwarta Padala, Palawan Express provide an easy alternative to fast communication with their on-demand delivery services, be it money transfers, plain written communications, and packages.

8. Electronic Communication

Various social media such as E-mails, Chatting, Messaging and Internet accessing, downloading, streaming, and patronage of various social media applications have become so much a part of modern city life. It is now the best way of connecting to anyone anywhere around the globe which guarantees almost instant response and interaction. Internet connections are easy to obtain while access to internet services are readily available in computer centers, internet cafés and shopping malls, most of which have Wi-Fi connections to serve the needs of businessmen, students, and the net enthusiasts (commonly coined as Netizens) who are always on the go. Telephone service companies usually also offer Internet connection with varying speeds and capabilities. Mobile internet browsing (termed as data usage) is sometimes also included in telephone service packages like call and text plans in all servers. PLDT-Smart, Globe, and SKY Broadband are the forerunners of internet connectivity in the metro.

The advent of call center services has put the City of Mandaluyong in the center stage of Information Communication Technology arena. As a result of the improving suitability of doing business in the city, the number of business proponents applying for a Sanggunian Resolution declaring their businesses as IT centers are increasing through the years which gave rise to the proliferation of different ICT-related companies such as call center companies like Sykes, Acquire, RingCentral, Convergys, etc. To meet the demand for call center agents, seven schools have put up training centers which include the RTU – a State University located along Boni Avenue. The K to 12 curriculum of the Department of Education, as adapted in all schools in Mandaluyong, and the Mandaluyong Manpower Technical-Vocational Training Center (MMTVTC) also caters to the rise of ICT-related industries and jobs by offering related courses in specific strands and courses.
