Description

Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan1 M ESSAGE This Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) was borne out of the need to rationalize the planning process at the local level. This was the missing link to the national, regional and municipal land use plans. With its production, we are now translating national policies into this plan to be more responsive to local conditions. Inversely, we are integrating herein municipal land use policies, not only because of their socio-economic linkages with other entities of the province, but also to avoid future conflicts in land use allocation and designation between adjacent municipalities. Even as the PDPFP indicates the manner in which lands in the province shall be put to use in the next five years, it likewise delineates the direction and extent of expansion of urban and other built-up areas of municipalities, the alignment of transportation networks, the location of major infrastructure projects and facilities and all major development proposals that have provincial, regional, national, or international impact and significance. As enunciated in the 2007 Guideline for the Formulation of the PDPFP prepared by NEDA-ADB, the main responsibility in preparing this PDPFP rested on my shoulders. Creation of the PDPFP Core Team and PDPFP-TWG reinforced this, which explains why under this leadership, the province formulated its PDPFP in accordance with national standards and guidelines. It was an awesome responsibility. The task was not entirely easy, but the result of the PDPFP preparation was worth all the efforts and provincial resources spent for this purpose. That is, if we were to consider that Aklan now has a new physical framework plan which serves as a ready reference for all provincial officials, municipal executives, planners, technical personnel, investors, private entities, and the public in general. Likewise, we are now assured of a legitimate guide in the preparation of training courses for planners, especially in the choice of topics in the determination of appropriate methodologies for the province. Certainly, these are considerable achievements of this administration. With the PDPFP now in place, it gives me great repose and deep sense of joy that this document will play an important role in hastening the development of our province and country even now and in the very near future. CARLITO S. MARQUEZ Provincial Governor Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 2 The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is the primary technical guide to the development of the province of Aklan, aimed and designed to derive the overall vision of the province; provide the analytical basis for understanding existing conditions and identifying key development issues, problems, opportunities, goals, objectives, and targets of the province; translate the vision into implementable strategies towards the attainment of goals, objectives, and targets; and guided by the vision, identify programs, projects, and activities consistent with the proposed strategies. Guided by a long-term vision, the PDPFP coincides with two three-year political terms of the Governor, and can be aligned with a full term of the national leadership. It is the key link in the network of plans covering the national, regional, provincial, and municipal levels because plans and investment programs at the provincial level must have vertical connections to corresponding plans at the regional and municipal levels. In turn, regional plans and programs must relate to corresponding plans at the national level. The resulting PDPFP, therefore, serves as a vertical link between local development objectives and regional and national priorities. At the provincial level, the Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) derived from the PDPFP are the bases for a multi-year investment program (PDIP-a prioritized list of PPAs with cost estimates) and an annual investment Program (AIP or the current year “slice” of the PDIP. Here, the AIP serves as the basis for budgetary allocations for PPAs. The preparation and approval of the PDPFP involves several stages, described here with an emphasis on their institutional linkages: ►Stage 1: Visioning – It reflects the provincial community’s aspirations for the long-term future of the province and serves as an overall guide to the planning process. ►Stage 2a: Situation analysis: organization, data, initial analysis – It covers the initial organization and meetings of TWGs. ►Stage 2b: Situation analysis: plan environment – It covers much of the technical analysis and the identification of key issues, problems, and constraints ►Stage 3a: Formulation of development goals, objectives/targets, strategies, and PPAs – It covers the identification of development goals, objectives/targets, strategies, and PPAs in consultation with TWGs and key sectoral representatives, especially for sectors with identified priority issues. ►Stage 3b: Draft PDPFP – It involves drafting the revised PDPFP, updates to the Governor, the PDC/ExeCom, and other key stakeholders with respect to proposed strategies and PPAs, and a public hearing on the Draft PDPFP. P REFACE Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 3 ► Stage 4: Sanggunian Approval – It involves the submission of the Draft PDPFP, with appropriate revisions according to the public hearing, to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for Approval.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The written history of Aklan takes us back to the middle of the 13th century when ten Bornean datus, together with their families, fled the oppressive rule of the Bornean king, Sultan Makatunaw. In search for freedom, new lands and better fortunes, they left Borneo’s shore on a flotilla of balangays (ships) sailing northward. And one day, in 1250 (circa), they landed on the bank of the Sirwakan River near the present town of San Joaquin, Iloilo. Immediately after, Datu Puti, the leader of the expedition, came in contact with the Atis, the blackskinned, pygmy aborigines of Panay Island. The Ati king named Marikudo and his queen, Maniwang-tiwang, welcomed the newcomers. Datu Puti asked Marikudo if the latter’s people would be willing to move into the hinterlands and mountains in favor of the newcomers. An agreement was reached. The price for the land was a gold saduk (wide-brimmed helmet), a chain of pure gold necklace, and some gifts consisting of colored clothes, decorated arms, and fanciful trinkets. The historic sale (Barter of Panay) was sealed by a sumptuous banquet attended by both the Atis and the Bornean peoples, and everybody had a joyous celebration – feasting, dancing and singing. The celebration is commemorated every year, during the blooming season of mangoes, or at about the same time of the year when the purchase was consummated. In later years, when the Ati descendants of Marikudo withdrew to the mountains, the settlers chose to perpetuate the celebration. In the absence of the Atis, some of the settlers smeared themselves with soot to simulate the Atis. Thus, from Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 16 then on, the celebration that has withstood the tests of centuries came to be known as the Ati-atihan Festival. The island of Panay was divided into three “sakups” (districts): IrongIrong (now Iloilo) under Datu Paiburong; Hantik (now Antique) under Datu Sumakwel; and Aklan (what was then Aklan and Capiz combined) under Datu Bangkaya. These three “sakups” were united for mutual protection against enemy attacks into one confederation called “Confederation of Madyaas” under the overlordship of Datu Sumakwel who was the oldest and wisest of the ten Bornean datus. Our historians have overlooked an interesting fact about Datu Bangkaya’s “sakup” of Aklan. It was originally (geographically and ethnologically also) the valley of Aklan, centering in the present town of Kalibo. Since the days of Datu Bangkaya, the people of this region have developed their own peculiar dialect, distinct customs and traditions, and local culture. Thus, it has come to pass that the present-day Aklanons posses a deep-rooted pride and loyalty to their own locality, setting them apart from the rest of the Capiceños. They fondly aspire to be an independent province, separate and independent from Capiz province. There is further historical validity to the Aklanons’ dream of a separate province. As early as 1433, according to Parayan historical records, there was already a well-organized government on Aklan soil under the rule of Kalantiaw, the third chief of Panay. This Aklan ruler wrote the famous “Kalantiaw Code” containing eighteen sugo (orders) which reveal the high degree of civilization which the people of Aklan had then. Following that spirit of patriotic desire, after having developed their ideals of freedom and having progressed in education and culture, in commerce and industry, and in political maturity and experience, Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 17 whenever occasions presented, the people of Aklan, through their chosen leaders, had taken the issue of separation and independence: April 14, 1901: Don Natalio B. Acevedo, Aklan delegation head, presented the first memorial for the separation of Aklan from Capiz to the Junta Magna headed by Commissioner Dean C. Worcester; 1920: Representatives Jose Alba Urquiola and Eufrosino Alba of the second and third districts of Capiz, respectively, presented a Bill for Aklan’s formal separation from Capiz; 1925 to 1930: Representatives Manuel Laserna and Teodulfo Suner from the third district of Capiz filed a similar Bill. Subsequently, Dr. Rafael S. Tumbokon of the same succeeded in securing the approval of the Committee on Provincial and Municipal Governments after the hearing, but was not able to push it through due to time constraints; April 25, 1956: Republic Act 1414 was signed by President Ramon Magsaysay, eventually separating Aklan from Capiz. This was made through the efforts of Congressman Godofredo P. Ramos who filed House Bill No. 334. For such fate, he was regarded as the Father of Aklan. Aklan became the 53rd province of the country. 2. PLAN OBJECTIVES AND CONTEXT 2.1 Objectives of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) To enhance and strengthen the development of the province, the formulation of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan was based on the following Specific Objectives: a. To design and outline the overall Vision of the province. Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 18 b. To provide analytical basis for understanding existing conditions and identifying key development issues, goals, objectives, and targets of the province. c. Based on the province’s Vision, identify programs, projects, and activities consistent with the proposed strategies. 2.2 Context of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is the key link in the network of plans covering the national, regional, provincial, and municipal levels. Plans and investment programs at the provincial level have vertical connections to corresponding plans at the regional and municipal levels. In turn, regional plans and programs relate to corresponding plans at the national level. The resulting PDPFP, therefore, serves as the vertical link between local development objectives and regional and national priorities. At the provincial level, the Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) derived from the PDPFP are the bases for a multiyear investment program and an Annual Investment Program (AIP), the basis for budgetary allocations for PPAs. 3. COVERAGE OF THE PLAN 3.1 Historical Coverage The Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) is a six-year medium-term development plan of the province of Aklan, guided by its long-term vision. It is formulated to coincide with two three-year terms of the present leadership, Governor Carlito S. Marquez, that can be aligned with a full term of the national leadership. Planning analyses, however, extend beyond the medium term to Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan – Province of Aklan 19 consider longer-term trends. These are significant and necessary inputs to the identification of Strategies, Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs) for the six-year plan period. 3.2 Geographical Coverage The political boundaries of the province define the primary level of geographical analysis. Other provinces in Region VI (Western Visayas) as well as the region itself, and the country as a whole, are also included as benchmark in some of the analyses. Municipalities within the province serve as the major level of analytical disaggregation, barangay-level data are also considered for population analysis. Groups or clusters of municipalities as well as geographically delineated areas like the Metropolitan Kalibo are also considered. References to land and land use which include water and water use are likewise a part of the planning environment. 3.3 Sectoral Coverage The planning environment of the Provincial Development and Physical Framework Plan (PDPFP) includes all major sectors for and in the development of Aklan. These are the core elements of Population which covers its sector; Economic Activity – agriculture, fisheries, forestry, trade, industry, services, and tourism; Physical Resources – environment, natural Income/Access to other services and resources, and transport; facilities for the elderly, children, indigenous peoples, the third sex, and the women; and Land Use – which is the physical integration of all the sectors.
