FOREWORD
San Felipe, being a 4 th class municipality is the smallest town in terms of area and population
among the thirteen (13) towns of Zambales. During the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo on June 1991, our
town was one (1) of the hardest hit place because we have two major rivers (Sto. Tomas River,
Maloma River) beside Botolan River. Billions of cubic meters of lahar deposits flowed down these
rivers and caused great damage to our agricultural crops and our coastal areas. Before the rich
minerals like clean sand and gravel, are abundant in the river but now it is all silted with lahar sand
which makes our town now prone to flooding.
Our coastal areas were greatly affected, our corals were destroyed and fishermen are
complaining of their small volume of catch, unless they go to far areas from our 15 km municipal
boundary.
However, pollution, fisheries depletion caused by using destructive methods (dynamite
fishing), rapid population growth, deforestation and poverty contributes to the destruction of our
marine resources. In order to come up with a responsive plan for improved management intervention
for coastal resources, the municipality, thru the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(DENR), Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Barangays, NGO’s, PO’s has formulated this
Integrated Coastal Resources Management Plan (ICRMP). The ICRM Plan of San Felipe is a
document that manifests the recognition of the vital role of coastal resources in sustaining our
people’s livelihoods and well being.
It is our part as leaders and stakeholders to pursue the strategies in a participatory manner as a
way to encourage the three (30 coastal barangays, Brgy. Sto. Niño, Brgy. Sindol and Brgy. Maloma,
to become good stewards of our coastal environment. The adoption and implementation of the ICRM
Plan is our firm commitment as we adhere to our paramount objective and municipal motto “Onward
to Progress San Felipe”.

FOREWORD
In the face of the urgency of ecological degradation and inadequacy of
centralized environmental management, local government units must use the
powers given them, thru the 1991 Local Government Code and take
responsibility for the care of their environment as primary stakeholders.
The San Felipe experience provides us with creative ideas and effective
strategies in confronting problems as well as with necessary institutional
mechanism to ensure integration of environmental plan with local governance
and strong support among the local community.
This plan envisions for a more effective protection, conservation and
rehabilitation of both marine and terrestrial resources. Thus, it contains
intervention and strategies to improve both ecosystems which the LGU itself
have identified based on issues and concerns prevailing in their municipalities
thru participatory planning. It is therefore hoped that the plan formulated by
the constituents themselves will be their major guide in implementing the
project.

FOREWORD
Central Luzon is composed of seven provinces with relatively flat terrain. In the coastal areas
are composed of 336 coastal barangays bordered by major fishing ground, namely the Manila Bay,
South China Sea and Pacific Ocean wherein a rich marine environment that includes coral reefs
coves and bay can be found.
However due to excessive abuse, these environments are enduring the problems and risk of
environmental degradation, declining fish catch and poverty in the coastal communities. These issues
have prevailed through the years and continue to agitate the delicate ecological balance and
endanger the lives and livelihood of coastal residents. With these critical scenarios in hand, the
concept of an integrated approach to Coastal Resources Management (CRM) from municipal level to
address these problems is a must. The participation of the municipalities in promoting the ICRM Plan
is the key to alleviating the problems of the environment and poverty.
The Integrated Coastal Resources Management project (ICRMP) is a program that promotes
in depth awareness on the current status of our coastal environment to the people through a
technically designed framework which was developed to scientifically link the people to their
environment and all process connected to it. The project will provide new gateway for progress and
create livelihoods that eliminate the pressure from our coastal environment.
Lastly, I would like to commend the Municipality of San Felipe for coming up with this very
comprehensive ICRM Plan. This would serve as blueprint of the community towards sustainable
coastal resource management in the next five years. Together with DENR R3, BFAR will always be
your partner in achieving the goals sets by this ICRM Plan. Congratulation and Mabuhay!!!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Integrated Coastal Resource Management Plan features salient information on
the socio-economic condition of coastal areas of the Municipality of San Felipe. It highlights also the
current status of the various coastal habitats and resources of the area, the issues that confront
sustainable use of such resources, and the strategies to address the issues.
Thru Participatory Coastal Resource Assessment (PCRA) actual data have been
generated in coordination and active participation of the members of Bantay-Dagat, Barangay
Officials and fishermen. The data are gathered and compiled with the presence of primary
stakeholders and this result to an improved l awareness and recognition of the real situation of their
resources and the need for integrated management.
Just like in Brgy. Sto. Niño and Brgy. Maloma where the Sto. Tomas River and
Maloma River exits, there are no significant coral resources in the coastal waters of Municipality
except in Brgy. Sindol where there are still some living corals and some reef-associated fish species.
According to community members, the decline in coral habitat is the result of dynamite fishing
rampant in the area.
Subsequently, this is one of the issues which came up during the planning stage for
the ICRM Plan. Issues like lack of facilities and appropriate training of fisherfolks and weak
enforcement aggravates illegal fishing activities resulting to declining fish catch and low income.
The lack of potable water and weak implementations of solid waste management measures and
practices results to health risk in the community. Illegal and abusive practices (mining, logging, and
charcoal making) caused by non implementation of laws leads to further degradation of the
environment and causes damage to lives and properties. On the other hand, inadequate classrooms in
Sitios lead to poor education which increases the number of out of school youth (OSY). The
ineffective operation of the slaughter house due to flooding results to unsanitary and unsafe meat.
These issues are to be addressed and given priority to be able to realize the mission
and vision of the Municipality in the adoption and implementation of its ICRM Plan. Strategic
initiatives to address the issues have been planned and the corresponding actions are enumerated in
appropriate matrixes.
As we envision “an economically sustainable, progressive, peaceful and God-fearing
municipality endowed with natural resources for present and future generations” the Municipality of
San Felipe reaffirms its conscientious dedication to be the primary steward of its natural resources.

I. INTRODUCTION
A. MUNICIPAL PROFILE
San Felipe was one among the little villages along the coastal region of Zambales
during the pre-Spanish period. The first inhabitants were the Malay Zambas who lived in
lowland which they call Hindol. There were also Negritoes but most of them lived in
mountains. Unlike other towns of Zambales which had good ports, such as Sta. Cruz,
Masinloc and Subic, the town of San Felipe was not often invaded by Chinese pirates.
A few years after the discovery of the Philippines, all places in the country had been
explored by the Spanish authorities and the exploration of Zambales began in 1572 by Juan
de Salcedo, grandson of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi, first Spanish Governor General of the
Philippines. Juan de Salcedo and Spanish followers made a survey of its coastal region and
organized communities which were first called encomiendas but were later called pueblos.
As the population of the villages increased because of the steady imigration of Ilocanos from
the Ilocandia region before 1800 until 1860, more pueblos were organized.
The first waves of Ilocanos found their way to Hindol, which was later called Sindol.
Also found less than a kilometer south of Sindol was the place called Bobulon. Hindol was a
Zambal Aeta name for a tree that was abundant in the place. Bobulon was also a kind of tree
which is abundant at the Public Plaza. However there was another version why it was called
Bobulon. It was said that the first voyage of Ilocano settlers had all the favorable win (bulon )
from Paoay, Ilocos Norte to this village. The other waves of Ilocano settlers, who were
mostly merchants and fishermen, came from Vigan and San Vicente, Ilocos Sur.
The first seat of the pueblo government was in Sindol and the head of the pueblo was
called Capitan Municipal. As head of the pueblo, he is responsible in paying the taxes not
collected from his barangays. As gathered from reliable sources, one of the town executives
when the seat of the government was still in Sindol was Capitan Municipal Pedro Farañal,
father of the late Municipal President Juan Farañal. The pueblo was later transferred from
Sindol to Bobulon because the latter was already more populated, had a wider area for
residential purposes, and it was farther from the mountains were the aetas, still wild lived.
The name Bobulon was changed to San Felipe when it was founded in 1853. As to how the
town of San Felipe got its present name, the most reliable fact learned so far was that four
“saintly” brothers from Ilocandia, namely Marcelino, Antonio, Narciso and Felipe settled in
the about to be organized pueblos which were later named San Marcelino, San Antonio, San
Narciso and San Felipe. As a matter of fact, most of the inhabitants of these four towns were
Ilocanos from the Ilocos region.
Under the Spanish regime and during the early part of American regime, San Felipe
was a separate town. Its first Municipal President was Don Saturnino Pastor who was the
town executive from January 1, 1901 to December 31, 1902. For the purpose of
governmental administration, San Felipe was incorporated with San Narciso. The Municipal
President of the combined towns of San Felipe and San Narciso was Don Simeon Maranon
and Nicolas Amagna was the Municipal Vice-President. Being a smaller town, San Felipe
was only entitled to four Councilors while San Narciso had five. The councilors for San
1

Felipe were – Don Juan Farañal, Don Victorino Amancio, Don Alejo Apostol and Don
Macario Manglicmot. These officials, together with some others in San Felipe, later worked
for the separation of San Felipe from San Narciso through Don Alberto Barretto, who was
then a member of the first Philippine Assembly. Meanwhile, before the separation Don
Angel Dumlao y Farrales, from San Narciso, took over as Municipal President for San Felipe
– San Narciso covering the period from January 1, 1905 to February 28, 1908.
Under the combined leadership of Nicolas Amagna, Flaviano Dumlao, Severo
Amagna, Nemesio Farrales, Isidoro Fuenticilla and Joaquin Feria a resolution was adopted to
effect the final separation of San Felipe from San Narciso. On March 1, 1908, San Felipe
was formally separated from San Narciso and the first Municipal officials after separation
were;
Nicolas Amagna ------------------ Municipal President
Isidoro Fuenticilla ------------------ Mun. Vice-President
Santiago Labrador ------------------ Councilor
Flaviano Dumlao ------------------ Councilor
Jose Abille ------------------ Councilor
Leoncio Borja ------------------ Councilor
Bartolome Mendaros ------------------ Councilor
Nemesio Farrales ------------------ Councilor
Joaquin Feria ------------------ Councilor
Macario Rico ------------------ Councilor
The Municipal Council was convened in a Special Session on March 1, 1908 and
because the body had no secretary, it resolved to designate Councilor Flaviano Dumlao to act
as “Secretario”. To show respect to the higher authorities, the Municipal Council adopted
resolutions of gratitude and support to the Gov. General, Representative Alberto Barretto,
and the Provincial Board of Zambales.
Since March 1, 1908, San Felipe acted as an independent town.

B. STATE OF THE COAST
1. Coral Reefs
Coral reef supports almost 30 to 40% of total fish production in the country. Since
these areas are equally important as spawning grounds and habitat of marine life, their
disturbance due to anthropogenic activities can have direct negative impacts on marine life.
The quality of Coral reefs in San Felipe manifests the effects of harmful fishing
practices in the past. Blast fishing was quite rampant over a decade ago. Aquarium fishing,
also referred to as cyanide fishing, was then a luxurious job due to a high demand for tropical
and aquarium fishes. Siltation is another aspect that contributed to the death of corals in some
areas due to accelerated soil erosion which was brought about by sand quarrying in the
adjacent beaches. At present, San Felipe has a basically sandy sea bottom.
The PCRA survey utilized the manta tow (see Figure 4), snorkel and line-intercept
methods conducted by the BFAR in 3 coastal barangays of San Felipe in November 2009.
The three (3) barangays are Maloma, Sindol and Sto. Niño. The three assessment methods
revealed that most of the areas surveyed were situated on sand/silt areas, having 75.7 - 92.5
% sand cover. Live coral cover in three (3) barangays only ranged from 1.86 to 3.33 % which
is categorized as poor condition. Table 2 shows the manta tow method results, Table 3 the
snorkel method result and Table 4 the line intercept method, respectively.

Fishes found in San Felipe were surveyed through an underwater fish visual census
during the PCRA led by DA-BFAR (2009). Survey results revealed that fish species differs
on each of the 3 barangays with Brgy. Sindol having the most diverse fish species (Table5).
Meanwhile, only rabbit fish and Therapon were observed in Brgy Maloma and Brgy. Sto.
Niño, respectively.

3. Beach Forest
Figure 6. Fish Visual Census Result (Distribution per Species)
Beach forest is a narrow strip of woodland along the sandy and gravelly beaches of
the seacoast playing a critical role in maintaining the coastline. A beach forest habitat
assessment is a rapid vegetation assessment of the beach forest which employs the
investigation of species composition and sketch out their relative location on the assessed
area. It is done to evaluate the species present in the area and determine whether they are
indicative of an altered ecosystem or not. Though the assessment can not represent a
complete and rigorous analysis, it can nonetheless be used in initial planning and
management.
The beach forest habitat assessment was conducted on three (3) coastal barangays for
the municipality of San Felipe, Zambales. Beach habitat assessments for Barangays Sto.
Niño, Sindol, and Maloma were conducted on November 19, 2009. Results showed that San
Felipe has a generally fair condition of beach forest.
Figure 7. Beach Habitat Assessment at Brgy. Sindol and Brgy. Maloma, San Felipe.

The habitat assessment results indicated that 11 beach forest species can be found in
San Felipe. The predominant ones being Agoho (Casuarina equisetifolia) and Talisay
(Terminalia catappa). The total number of trees is 1,101, with Agoho as the most dominant
comprising about 68.21% of all trees recorded. While the most number of trees was
enumerated in Barangay Sto. Niño with 495 trees (44.96% of all trees) and Brgy. Sindol with
487 trees (44.23%).

Among the three (3) barangays assessed using the new method of beach habitat
assessment, results showed that Brgy. Maloma has the highest species composition having
ten (10) species. This is followed by Brgy. Sto. Niño with seven (7) species and Brgy.
Sindol with five (5) species. In addition, the most number of individuals/trees were
enumerated in Brgy. Sto. Niño with 495 trees followed by Brgy. Sindol with 487 trees.
Comparatively, Brgy. Maloma beach forest was the most diverse among the assessed coastal
barangays in San Felipe with computed Biodiversity Index of 1.69.
The high occurrence of Agoho in all of the assessed barangays over other species can
be attributed to the establishment or presence of a plantation of the said species. Hence, it is
11

worthy to note that human intervention directly affected the species composition of the
assessed area.

Table 11 Family Planning Users
SOURCE: MUN. HEALTH OFFICE
Generally, cleanliness and sanitation in San Felipe is not a problem because all
Barangay Officials, School Officials, lay leaders of civic groups and other organization
always cooperate with the unrelenting campaign of the municipal government to maintain
cleanliness, sanitation and beautification in the municipality. At present, the municipality has
a jeep and trailer to pick-up waste materials within the poblacion, other barangays and
especially in commercial area. A dumping site is located in Barangay Manglicmot. Air and
water pollution are not a problem in the town since there is no major pollutive industry
operating in the locality and besides it is clean and a typical rural community. Based on the
records of the Rural Health Unit (RHU) almost all the household in the municipality has
sanitary water sealed toilets and few household uses the Antipolo type and open pit.
Although the municipality of San Felipe is higher in terms of elevation as compared
with other town in Zambales, there are also low lying barangays especially at the eastern
portion of the locality. These barangays are Apostol, San Rafael, Sto Nino (Sitio Liwliwa),
Rosete, East Feria and portion of East Farañal.
San Felipe has four (4) cemeteries, two (2) are private memorial parks, one (1)
Catholic and one (1) Aglipayan Cemetery. These cemeteries are found in the poblacion.
So far, the municipality has no environmental problem that may cause for alarm in
the local government. Everything seems to be on manageable level except for those areas
flooding during rainy seasons. This problem should be addressed immediately posing threat
to life and property.

9. Fisheries and Aquatic Resources
Since San Felipe lies along the coastline of the province, the municipality possess a
tremendous fishing potential and fishing is the other occupation of the residents in this
municipality. The South China Sea, river banks, and inland waters are the fishing grounds of
the locality, with both pelagic and demersal species of fish. Aquaculture resources include
fishponds with an approximate area of 85.5 hectares and a total fish production of 2214
metric tons in l996. Prawn hatcheries operate along the coastal area of Brgy. Sto. Niño
which generates income for both the operators and the municipal government and provides
employment to some local labor.
Issues and concerns on fisheries gathered from the 3 coastal barangays during PCRA
(DA-BFAR, 2009) includes use of illegal fishing method (dynamite/cyanide), trawl fishing in
municipal waters, sediment pollution due to mining, quarrying (sand), illegal logging,
19

electro-fishing, improper disposal of waste, muro-ami, charcoal making and lack of potable
water at Sitio Lalek.
10. Municipal Fisheries
According to the Municipal Agriculture Office (2009), there are 252 fishermen in the
municipality of San Felipe.
A total of 12 common fishing gears were used by the fisherfolk according to the
socio-economic survey conducted on the 3 coastal barangays by DA-BFAR (2009). These
are drift gill net (lambat palutang), bagnet, bottom set gill net (lambat palubog), bubo, kawil,
kitang, pukot, scoop net, sensuro, singgapong, tabukol and turo-turo. Moreover, 41 kinds of
fishes and aquatic organisms caught by these gears and these are alimasag, babayote, balake,

12. Communal Water/Inland Water
From the mountain on the eastern side of San Felipe, several rivers converge into the
Apga Lake, where the Apga irrigation is located. The Sukit Lake and the Nilasin Lake are
also found in the town. Rivers include the Sto. Tomas River at Sitio Macolcol, the Bangar
River, Gabor River, old Sto. Tomas River and the Maloma River. Potable drinking water
tapped from the springs at the foot of the mountains close and serves the rural folks of Sitio
Apga, Nanguloan and other neighboring sitios in the area. The five rivers mentioned act as
the natural drainage outlets during the rainy seasons. The communal inland water being
monitored by DENR is Gabor River. Assessment laboratory results of its water parameters
show that both upper and lower stream is still in good condition (Table 15).

D. LEGAL FRAMEWORK FOR ICM
1. The Local Government Code (LGC) of 1991 or RA 7160
When it was enacted, the LGC had a major impact on the system of
governance in the Philippines. It represents the mode of implementation of the
constitutionally-enshrined principles of government decentralization and
democratization and creates a system of governance far more complex but much more
decentralized than any other prior system used in the Philippines. Its influence on
coastal management revolves around the key features of political autonomy and
decentralization, and resource generation and mobilization.
Decentralization and autonomy introduced drastic changes to the institutional
set up of ICRM implementation. The passage of the LGC caused a structural shift in
power that placed coastal local governments and cities at the forefront of sustainable
resource action plans typically originated from NGAs, with the support of scientific
and academic institutions that generated the technical information base for
management strategies. These programs were then transmitted down to LGU
“clientele” who were tasked to participate in the implementation strategies.
Under the LGC, the process has been reversed, given the devolution of
primary management responsibilities to the local government. The people’s direct
participation in the planning and implementation stages at the local level has also
been reinforced, and now constitutes the foundation of ICRM planning. Under this
system, the NGAs, NGOs, and scientific institutions become partners of the LGUs in
refining their respective ICRM plans by providing technical support in planning and
implementation.
Decentralization and autonomy also afford the LGU flexibility in resource
management and place them at the forefront where environmentally critical national
projects are proposed. The mandate for consultations under Sec. 26 and 27 of the
LGC provides the mechanism to articulate and address LGU concerns.
2. The Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 or RA 8550
RA 8550 or the Philippine Fisheries Code of 1998 is a compendium of
existing fishery laws. Several provisions contain policies which are quite new and
innovative, while others reiterate or improve old ones. Notable among the “new”
concepts espoused by the Fisheries Code are: a) limitation of access using
scientifically determined procedures; b) integrated management consistent with inter-
LGU cooperation as articulated in the LGC; and c) enhanced and institutionalized
participation by the community through the various levels of FARMCs. The Fisheries
Code has largely clarify issues pertaining to the extent of jurisdiction of LGUs in
municipal waters and the operation of commercial fishing vessels therein.
25

3. Executive Order 533
Executive Order 533 was signed on June 6, 2006 by Pres. Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo is in relation to “ Adopting Integrated Coastal Management as a National
Strategy to Ensure the Sustainable Development of the County’s Coastal and Marine
Environment and resources and Establishing Supporting Mechanisms for its
Implementation”.
Integrated Coastal Management and related approaches, such as coastal
resource management or coastal zone management, is the national management
policy framework to promote the sustainable development of the country’s coastal
and marine environment and resources in order to achieve food security, sustainable
livelihood, poverty alleviation and reduction of vulnerability to natural hazards, while
preserving ecological integrity (Sec 1). ICM is implemented in all coastal and marine
areas, addressing the inter-linkages among associated watersheds, estuaries and
wetlands, and coastal seas, by all relevant national and local agencies (Sec 2).
Integrated coastal management is recognized as an effective approach to
sustainable coastal and marine development with demonstrated benefits in enhancing
economic growth, ecosystem protection; promotion of social equity and the quality of
life of the people.
4. International Agreements
The Philippine Government supports global efforts to protect the environment
by being a state party to several international treaties, as well as global programs of
actions on various aspects of the environment. Some of these treaties have significant
implications to resource management programs at the national and local level. For
example, the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) brings the
Philippines within the international regime recognized by the community of nations
on the proper management of the oceans. It also commits the Philippines to cooperate
in international efforts to protect and preserve the marine environment, which opens
up the possibility of international cooperative projects for marine resources
management, ocean technology transfer and information exchange in matters of
common interest.
One treaty which is significant to CRM, as it may involve the cooperation of
local government authorities is the Convention on the International Trade of
Endangered Species (CITES). CITES is a treaty between 151 states which have
agreed to control or prohibit the international trade of over 40,000 species of animals
and plants, including any products made from them, depending, on the extent of the
treat to their survival as a species. The parties to the treaty of life apply a system of
permits and certificates, which are issued when certain conditions are met which have
to be presented when consignment of specimens of species listed under the agreement
26

leave or enter country. Since the sources of these flora and fauna are directly within
their jurisdictions, local governments are required to prevent the collection,
trafficking of, and trade in the species listed under CITES. With respect to the marine
environment, this includes 21 species of marine mammals (whales, dolphins, dugong
and porpoise); 3 species of Reptilla (seawater snakes); two species of Arowana and 1
species of giant catfish; 7 species of shelled mollusks (Tridacna spp. and Hippopus
spp.); and at least 26 species of corals.
CITES is currently being implemented in the country through the DENR and
BFAR. Marine mollusks which are protected under CITES, for example, cannot be
gathered under Fisheries Administrative Order (FAO) Nos. 158,168, and 168-2. All
corals, on the other hand, are protected under the FAO 202, s2000. The capture, sale,
possession, transport, and purchase of dolphins are banned under FAO 185, s1992.
The capture, sale, purchase, possession, transport, and export of whale sharks and
manta rays are prohibited under FAO 193, s1998.
The Food and Agriculture Organization Code contains general guidelines for
the use and management of six areas of aquatic resources management, including
fisheries management; fisheries operation; aquaculture development; integration of
fisheries into costal area management; post harvest practices and trade; and fisheries
research.

II. STRATEGIC PLAN
The San Felipe ICRM strategic plan has been crafted from extensive multi-sectoral
consultations and planning workshops. The strategic initiatives are intended to be
implemented over the medium term, with the Local Government as the primary
implementing and oversight agency. This first-generation ICRM Plan is considered to be a
dynamic planning tool that shall be continuously refined as empirical lessons are gained and
monitoring results are fed back to the planning process. In the formulation of the ICRM
Plan, the following underpinning principles have been considered:
• Adaptive management will enable cyclical planning and refinement of strategies;
• Issues have been drawn and prioritized from assertions put forward by impacted
sectors and stakeholders; and are based on factual, best available information;
• The goals and objectives, as well as performance indicators are measurable;
• Community-based implementations mechanisms shall be adhered to;
• Financial requirements shall be supported mainly from recurrent budgetary
allocations by the LGU.
A. VISION AND MISSION
Vision
“An economically sustainable, progressive, peaceful and God-fearing municipality
endowed with natural resources for present and future generations.”
Mission
To provide leadership in pursuing the development of livelihood, peace and order,
tourism and environmental integrity that will benefit San Felipeneans.
B. ISSUES, GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
1. Lack of facilities and appropriate training of fisherfolks and weak law enforcement
aggravates illegal fishing activities resulting to declining fish catch and low income.
2. Lack of potable water and weak implementation of solid waste management measures
and practices results to health risk in the community.
3. Illegal and abusive practices (mining, logging, and charcoal making) caused by non
implementation of laws leads to degradation of the environment causes damage to lives
and properties.
32

4. Inadequate classrooms in sitios lead to poor education which increases number of out-ofschool
youth.
5. Ineffective operation of the slaughter house due to flooding results to unsanitary and
unsafe meat.
1. Lack of facilities and appropriate training of fisherfolks and weak law enforcement
aggravates illegal fishing activities resulting to declining fish catch and low income.
Illegal fishing activities include people from within the municipality and those who
come from adjacent as well as distant municipalities. Their entry as fishers may be
authorized but their fishing methods are destructive. The destructive methods are dynamite
fishing and compressor fishing.
These are considered destructive since they catch and/or killed smallest size of fishes
and creates disturbance in the substrate that cause harm to other marine life. When this
method of fishing continues, there will be no more next generation fishes and the diversity of
marine life is jeopardized. In the end there would be no more fishes for the fishers to catch.
The cumulative damage from dynamite blasts in reef colonies is extensive, resulting in
widespread loss of coral species and a striking absence of fish biodiversity. Apprehension
and prosecution also present some problems and this clearly manifests the need for greater
capability building and judicial support for the Bantay Dagat. With greater logistical support
for improved law enforcement, and a strengthened, more vigilant judiciary, the issue of blast
fishing and use of compressors can be best directly addressed through tougher law
enforcement supported by local laws and penal provisions. This can be supported by
peripheral laws or policies on sustainable and responsible fisheries management, among them
a rigid licensing system and municipal water zoning system

2. Lack of potable water and weak implementations of solid waste management
measures and practices results to health risk in the community.
Solid waste management is a common problem in every municipality. Although there
are municipal ordinances pertaining to proper waste disposal of solid waste like waste
segregation and segregated waste collection, still some residents prefer to throw their garbage
at any vacant space in the community. Despite the LGU’s effort to educate the people and
assist in their proper solid waste management, some of the residents refuse to adopt the
appropriate practices.
Drinking water or potable water is water of sufficiently high quality that it can be
consumed or used without risk of immediate or long term harm. Throughout most of the
world, the most common contamination of raw water sources is from human and parasites.
Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate access to potable water and use
sources contaminated with disease vectors, pathogens or unacceptable levels of dissolved
chemicals or suspended solids. Such water is not potable and drinking or using such water in
food preparation leads to widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of
death. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing
countries. Waterborne diseases were estimated to cause 1.8 million deaths each year while
about 1.1 billion people lacked proper drinking water. It is clear that people in the developing
world need to have access to good quality water in sufficient quantity, water purification
technology and availability and distribution systems for water. In many parts of the world the
only sources of water are from small streams often directly contaminated by sewage.
These are serious threat to the environment in terms of hazards to health,
contamination of food, loss of biodiversity and degradation of coastal waters.

3. Illegal and abusive practices (mining, logging, and charcoal making) caused by non
implementation of laws leads to degradation of the environment causes damage to
lives and properties.
Mining is the extraction of valuable minerals or other geological materials from the
earth. Any material that cannot be grown from agricultural processes, or created artificially in
a laboratory or factory, is usually mined. Mining in a wider sense comprises extraction of any
non-renewable resource (e.g., petroleum, natural gas, or even water). Environmental issues
can include erosion, formation of sinkholes, loss of biodiversity, and contamination of soil,
groundwater and surface water by chemicals from mining processes. In some cases,
additional forest logging is done in the vicinity of mines to increase the available room for
the storage of the created debris and soil. Besides creating environmental damage, the
contaminations resulting from leakage of chemicals also affect the health of the local
population.
Perhaps one of the most common causes of degradation of benthic habitats in coastal
waters is siltation. Excessive sedimentation from river run-off can smother both seagrass
beds and coral reefs over a wide area. The sediments not only suffocate coral polyps and
cause their death but also foul up water quality and reduce the natural ability of the sea to
produce primary food through the reduction of sunlight penetration and impairment of
photosynthesis. Silt is normally washed away from mountain slopes that have been denuded
of vegetative cover that normally hold the soil together. During heavy rains, these are carried
together with a host of other organic material to the sea where it is discharged and carried by
tidal movement to nearshore ecosystems. In seagrass beds in particular, the sediment load
36

destroy the natural attribute of the seagrass as nursery and grazing grounds of fish and
invertebrates, among them siganids, sea cucumbers, sea urchins, seahorses, crabs, mussels
and a variety of other finfishes. In its natural state, seagrass beds actually helps in the
sequestration of sediments by enabling it to settle at the bottom and holding them through its
roots. This primary function actually prevents the silt from reaching the reefs which are
more delicate as they need clearer water and are highly sensitive to sedimentation. An
unusually heavy down load of sediments impairs this natural ability.
Timber poaching is a pervasive problem, causing enormous damage to forests, local
communities and to the economies of producer countries. It contributes to deforestation and
by extension global warming, causes loss of biodiversity and undermines the rule of law.

5. Ineffective operation of the slaughter house due to flooding results to unsanitary
and unsafe meat.
A flood is an overflow of an expanse of water that submerges land. Floods can also
occur in rivers, when flow exceeds the capacity of the river channel, particularly at bends or
meanders. Floods often cause damage to homes and businesses if they are placed in natural
flood plains of rivers. Flood can damage any type of structure, including bridges, cars,
buildings, sewer systems, roadways, and canals. People and livestock die due to drowning. It
can also lead to epidemics and waterborne diseases.

III. MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE
The implementation of integrated coastal resource management in San Felipe directly
compliments local and regional efforts in upland and marine resource protection and
conservation. Suffice it to say, this ICRM program shall be integrated into the overall
development framework of San Felipe and the issue of sustainable funding becomes an
integral concern of local governance. The development of sustainable funding mechanisms
is an essential ingredient of coastal management, fed directly by the viability of goods and
services generated from a healthy coastal resource base. Moreover, CRM should be
incorporated into a broader program of enabling food security and inter-generational equity
in resource availability. Understandably, such a broad thrust needs to be considered with
continuing support from the national government agencies and possibly with donor-funding
initiatives. The efficient implementation of the ICRM Plan however is contingent with the
collective action and synergy of various local offices and partner agencies that are tasked to
lead implementation of various projects. Competent institutional structures and roles, as well
as resilient and informed communities make up an effective governance system. Building up
a strong institutional base for ICRM within the LGU system and the communities would
enable effective and responsive policy reforms, rationalize plans for effective elimination of
destructive and non-sustainable resource use practices, reduce negative consequences of
economic development, enhance community awareness and empower local multi-sectoral
initiatives for resources conservation, protection and wise use practices.

IV. ZONING SCHEME
A. Why Zone
Zoning of coastal and marine waters and contiguous terrestrial environs in a
municipality has been considered as a standard framework in the implementation of
coastal management programs. When combined with an appropriate resource access
regime and monitoring, control and surveillance, the delineation of coastal and
marine waters of a municipality and its immediate nearshore area into various zones
with specific management goals enhances the sustainability of both ecological and
economic attributes of the resource base.
To address the multiple resources use demands in the bay area and to protect
the destruction of mutual resources, appropriate land-use scheme will be developed.
The formal process of zoning is valuable for two reasons. First, it forces planners, in
consultation with regulators and the public, to catalogue available resources. Second,
it allows for an orderly, planned utilization of those resources so that potential
resource-use conflicts can be minimized.
B. Zoning Maps
There are two main zones identified in the municipality. These are upland and
coastal zone. Upland zone is subdivided into production and protection zone.
Meanwhile, the coastal zone has five components, namely MPA zone, habitat
enhancement and protection zone, tourism zone, navigation zone and fishery
development zone. These are all reflected in a map.
C. Existing and Proposed Zones
1. Upland Zone
San Felipe has a total timberland area of 6,342.39 hectares which is comprised
of 6,228 hectares of production forest and 115 hectares of protection forest. Grassland
area has a total of 4,837.53 hectares (see Figure 13).
a. Production Zones
1.) Tenurial Instruments/Use
Based on the data available from the GIS Section of the DENR Region
III (NAMRIA-based data), four tenurial uses were recorded to have been
existing within the Municipality of San Felipe (see Figure 14).
48

Community-Based Forest Management Agreement (CBFMA)
holders include LALEC Upland Farmers Association, Cabaruan Multi-
Purpose Cooperative, Baling Caguing Upland Farmers Association and
Anonang Upland Farmers Association (AUFA). Forest Land Grazing
Management Agreement (FLGMA) listed three holders: Atty. Carolyn
Fariñas, Ramon Daquinag and Peter Galace. Jade Agri-Forest Corporation and
Nicolas Fernandez III entered into Integrated Forest Management
Agreement (IFMA). Lastly, Certificate of Community Forest Stewardship
(CCFS) has its sole list, which is the Sindol Upland Livelihood Organization,
Inc.
2.) Mining Sites
Based on the data available from the Environment and Natural
Resource Office in Zambales (ENROZ), there are 24 applicants for smallscale
mining that covers a combined area of 267.5 hectares. Minerals targeted
to be extracted include Magnetite Sand and Lahar Stone and Sand. However,
the list did not specify if all the applicants were either approved or presently
operating in the Municipality. It is assumed that the list will be updated by the
ENROZ upon availability of updated data from the Mines and Geosciences
Bureau of the DENR.
.
2. Coastal Zone
The municipal water of San Felipe has a total length of approximately
45.5 kilometers or 11,725 hectares, which stretched from Brgy. Maloma to Brgy.
Sto. Niño.
a. Habitat Enhancement and Protection Zone (see Figure 15)
1. Coral Reefs Protection Zone
The rough and wavy waters of the coast of San Felipe and
vulnerability of its coast to lahar from Mt. Pinatubo may have caused its coral
reefs not to develop or thrive further. A small portion of a coral reef assessed by
DA-BFAR during actual PCRA was found along Brgy. Sto. Niño, with a little
percentage of live hard corals. Results of its findings were already discussed in a
separate item of this plan.
49

2. Pawikan Nesting Ground
According to some claims by the residents, beaches along the coastline of San
Felipe, Zambales were found to be nesting grounds of marine turtles, although it was
not specified if the sites were regularly nested by the turtles. However, sightings of
its nesting ground on the coastal Barangays were evident.
b. Tourism Zone
Just like in any other coastal Municipalities in Zambales, San Felipe is
banking in on its beach resorts along its coastlines, along with identified surfing area
in Brgy. Sto. Niño frequently visited by surfing enthusiast from Luzon (see Figure
16)
c. Fishery Development Zone
The NAMRIA-generated Municipal waters’ boundary also serves as the
fishing grounds of the Municipality, which is also home to commercial fishing from
nearby towns and navigate to and from San Felipe. Its long coastline also serves as
fry collection area (mainly bangus fry). A miniport, fishpond and hatchery can also
found in the area (see Figure 17).

Subproject 1:
CAPSULE SUBPROJECT PROPOSALS
Title: Relocation / Construction of Municipal Slaughter House with perimeter fence
Amount: Php. 3,000,000.00
Duration: SY 2010 – 2011
Proponent: LGU / DA
Rationale:
During rainy season, the area of Brgy. Apostol where the Municipal Slaughter House
is located, suffers knee-deep flood waters coming from rice lands and Gabor River up to
Balincaguing. During this time, operation of the slaughter house is closed. Butchers and meat
vendors prefer to butch their pig in their respective houses in which they are prone to
diseases, viruses and unsafe to public consumption. This is a perennial problem after the Mt.
Pinatubo eruption due to siltation of rivers and rice fields with lahar deposits.
To address their issue, to relocate the area of the Slaughter House to a higher
elevation, the administration is prioritizing the construction of the new slaughter house to
Brgy. Manglicmot, San Felipe, Zambales.
The improvement of the slaughter house is particularly important in the overall effort to
reduce marine pollution, especially those that come from point sources where organic wastes
can emanate indiscriminately. As such, part od the improvement investment will be the
construction of a waste water management system for the slaughter house.
Methodology:
What: Construction of Municipal Slaughter House with Fence

Subproject 2:
Title: Construction of Material Recovery Facility
(Solid Waste Management)
Amount: Php. 3,000,000.00
Duration: SY 2010-2011
Proponent: LGU and ICRMP
Rationale:
Pollution and degradation of sea water quality through solid waste and domestic wastewater
heavily impacts on the capacity of the natural environment to support hygienic recreational
activities as the sea and the coastline beach becomes unattractive – and unfit for recreation.
The outbreak of many skin and eye diseases due to polluted waters have been recorded many
times before. Worst, pollution of waters through organic matter overload is suspected as well
as the primary trigger for algal blooms that lead to anaerobic conditions causing fish kills,
and the outbreak of the dreaded Red Tide organism that cause paralytic shellfish poisoning or
PSP. Pollution of the nearshore area through indiscriminate throwing of plastics, organic
debris and other solid wastes, or those that are carried through run-off, can affect many
biological processes in the sea, and impair feeding behavior of many marine organisms.
Thru the National Solid Waste Management Council, the municipality has received closure
of dumpsite letters advising us to permanently close the Dumpsite or take possible actions or
alternative methods to convert the facility into a controlled dumpsite.
With this program, and thru our limited sources of income, with which we cannot
provide immediate solutions in compliance to RA 9003, Solid Waste Management Act, the
LGU will construct a Material Recovery Facility Building for segregation and composting
area. A Shredder and a Hammer mill were already purchased and ready for operation. The
MRF will be housed inside the lot for the Slaughter House.
Methodology:
What: Construction of Material Recovery Facility
When: SY 2011
