Message
Tarlac City is in transition period from
basically a typical agricultural area to a mixed
agro-commercial and industrial metropolis.
With the opportunities we can enjoy from its strategic
location being at the heart of Central Luzon, each square meter of our
land must be fully utilized to attain our vision, which is bounty amidst
booming business and industry yet in consonance with ecological
balance.
With the Comprehensive Land Use Plan, Tarlac City
government could be provided with guidelines on its policies, plans
and programs utilizing our land according to their classification.
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan, which is a product of
intensive series of researches done by the luminaries in their
respective disciplines, we can come up with the best socio-cultural
and economic schemes that we may respond to the challenges of the
times particularly our inclusion in the W Growth Corridor where we
are at the center of this strategic zone of economic opportunities.
With this undertaking, the local government unit of Tarlac City
can now enjoy a standard data-based plan, which is imperative to its
visions, which is to emancipate the constituents of the 76 barangays
from poverty and through this Comprehensive Land Use Plan, we can
project a bright future for Central Luzons Melting Pot City.
With this, we are proud to say that YES WE CAN! We are ready
to meet the challenges of globalization and sustainable
development.

FOREWORD
Again, there is a need to reformulate our Comprehensive Development

Plan from the date it was formulated last 1997 2001 to 2001 2010, because
we are indeed experiencing rapid urbanization and development. In order for us
to be directed to the right path, the private sectors with the Local Development
Council were involved in coming to this important tool, the Comprehensive
Development and Land Use Plan.
As envision by this important document, it is not only for the present time
but for the future and the next generation to come, an important guide to our
mission of development.
At this juncture, I would like to take the opportunity to express my sincere
thanks to my staff in the City Planning & Development Office who really worked
hard for it and finally coming up to this plan. I wish to express also my heartfelt
gratitude to the Workshop Class Group 210-1-B of U.P. School of Urban and
Regional Planning for their Technical Assistance; we really appreciate their
expertise and unselfish efforts. To the Officials of the City, especially to our City
Mayor, Vice-Mayor and Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod, Maraming
Salamat Po for giving us the support.
More Power and God Bless!

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Comprehensive Land Use Plan of every local government unit is aimed
primarily to improve the quality of life of the constituency, protect environmental
condition of the locality and rationalize the utilization of land in the area. The
plan, in consonance with the national, regional and provincial physical framework
plans, identifies specific programs and projects for each sector of the society,
and the realization in implementing these programs and projects within the time
frame of the plan.
City of Tarlac is the economic, political and cultural center of the province. Its
economic base comprises a large segment in agriculture, commerce and industry
that sustained the citys general livelihood. The development potential have been
properly laid down by the present local administration, under the energetic
leadership
of
Honorable
Genaro
M.
Mendoza,
by
providing
various
infrastructures which are basic to both the domestic and foreign investors.
The whole plan is composed of three major components namely: a) socioeconomic profile of the local government unit consisting of the citys physical and
natural resources, demographic characteristics and sectoral development
framework, studies and analysis; b) the physical plan, its implementing tools,
local governance and local fiscal administration; and c) the text of the zoning
ordinance which will served as the implementing instrument of the plan. The
zoning ordinance shall serve as the legal basis in directing the preferred pattern
of development and growth of the city.
Finally, this plan hoped to strengthen the local government technical capabilities
and subsequently endeavor to achieve vital knowledge relevant to plan
preparation and the aspiration for good local governance.

INTRODUCTION
1.1
PROJECT BACKGROUND
The
Local
Government
Code
of
1991
mandates
provinces/cities/municipalities to prepare their respective Comprehensive

Land Use Plans (CLUPs). This mandate is embodied in EO No. 72 and in
the Charter of the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB)
under Executive Order No. 648 specifically Article IV, Sec. 51b. In the
light of the evolving nature of urban areas, the formulation of aforesaid
plan has become a vital and necessary function for any LGU. The purpose
of the plan is mainly to rationalize the use of the localitys resources in line
with the higher level plans as the RFP, PPFP, and the Philippine MediumTerm Development Plan.
Pursuant to the provision of the code, the City sought the assistance of the
HLURB for the preparation of its CLUP. The Tarlac City Comprehensive
Land Use Plan 1997-2001 was formulated and subsequently submitted to
the Provincial Land Use Committee (PLUC).
In October 2001, the
Committee came out with the decision that the City needs to reformulate
the plan to meet the gaps and inadequacies that resulted from the
analysis of its members.
The Sangguniang Panlalawigan passed Resolution No. 131, s. 2001
directing the City Government to reformulate its CLUP and to submit the
same not later than March 2002. The task of reformulating the plan was
taken up by the Workshop Class of the School of Urban and Regional
Planning, University of the Philippines in Diliman in cooperation with the
City Planning and Development Office of Tarlac.
This CLUP represents the combined effort of the Workshop Class and the
technical staff of the CPDO who worked together to produce a document
that embodies the Citys vision, goals and objectives and the
corresponding policies, programs and projects aimed to realize the
achievement of the most rational allocation and use of its resources.
Planning principles and guidelines imbibed from the school were primarily
used to guide the planners on the different aspects of the plan
reformulation. The team gave priority consideration to the needs of the
City in coming up with the most acceptable CLUP. Credit is accorded to
the local staff and the SURP Workshop Class for their zealousness and
industry to complete the project.
1.2
PLANNING OBJECTIVES
The National Government in pursuit of a total reversal on economic front
by the year 2000 as embodied in the Medium Term Development Plan is
the guiding principle of this humble plan as follows:
1.2.1 General Objectives

-
Conservation and efficient utilization of land and other resources of

the city;
Encouragement of balance and compatible land use relationship;
Promotion of a safe, healthy and pleasant environment for
satisfactory communal life;
Strengthening of the socio-economic base of the city; and
Enhancement of the citys functional role.
1.2.2 Specific Objectives

-
Regulation of land development to promote a safe and healthy

environment for the community residents;
Provision of adequate and suitable land for settlement expansion
and other functional uses so as to accommodate local and foreign
investors;
Identification of appropriate sectoral and impact projects consistent
with the needs and aspirations of the constituents;
Relocate of adequate/suitable land for industrial development and
other resources with potential to broaden economic opportunities
for the whole constituents;
Preservation of the citys historical site and potentials; and
Equitable distribution and timely delivery of community service and
facilities.
In its entirety, the CLUP is a document intended to be the basis for future
decisions in terms of physical development for the city. It presents facts
about the existing situations, trends and development as well as future
concerns. The Plan is therefore a vital aggregate of data and policies.
1.3
METHODOLOGY FOR THE REFORMULATION PROCESS

The process was undertaken utilizing existing planning principles and
guidelines. The HLURB developed a set of standard guidelines in the
preparation of city plans consisting of various techniques, models and
concepts which are considered to be more understandable and easier to
follow by local government units. The following are the procedures and
steps employed in the process:
1.
Collection of secondary data for upgrading the socio-economic

profile of the city. This is to provide the baseline information for
organizing other planning data.
2.
Discussions with key informants to gather data to be used for

updating the data on the general utilization of the land. This will
serve as input to the base map in the preparation of its existing land
use. Actual land use survey was not possible due to time
constraint.
3.
Projection/Identification of formative development needs for land

uses and services by utilizing the suggested approaches adopted
by the HLURB.
4.
Organization and preparation of analytical tools such as schematic

maps, overlays, statistical tables, projection of land requirements
for each land use category and similar activities.
5.
Formulation of sectoral plans in coordination and consultation with

the local government staff.
6.
The preparation of the preliminary land use plan and its subsequent
presentation during public hearings that are conducted to obtain
comments and suggestions from the residents. These comments
and suggestions would eventually be incorporated into the plan.
After the corresponding revision/s, the land use plan will be
finalized.
7.
1.4
The final land use plan will be the basis for the preparation of the
Zoning Ordinance.
RATIONALE
There had been several attempts made to come up with a land use plan for
the then town of Tarlac; a plan that would reflect a vision of its potential and
capability so that it can assume the greater responsibility of propelling
Tarlac province to progress.
This Comprehensive Land Use Plan is a bold attempt towards a welldirected physical growth of the city. The plan envisions the people to work
for a community that is self-reliant and progressive. It foresees the creation
of a society that initiates and exerts effort for its own improvement with least
assistance from the higher level of government. It presents the citys goals
and objectives that are geared towards development. Alternative and
strategies necessary for arriving at a rational decision as to what course of
action should be taken to ensure the most efficient results are clearly
presented.
The Plan seeks to establish linkages among the different sectoral objectives
and policies so that they complement each other for the greater good. This
plan document not only integrates national and regional development
programs, but also reflects inter-department collaboration utilizing different
techniques and models that best suit the over-all development goal.
Land use plan as a major element of the whole document indicates a strong
adherence to national standards. It also incorporates valid forecasts by the
planners based on tested principles.
This plan, if accepted by the locality, will ensure a more effective
implementation of land-use related policies by the local government unit.
The principle of flexibility should guide its implementation as this plan is a
dynamic document that should accommodate revisions and changes as
time goes on. The need to consider amendments should not be discounted
but rather pursued.

HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF TARLAC CITY

The town of Tarlac has had a colorful and significant history. Its story may very
well be story of Tarlac province itself, which came into being only in 1873-74,
eighty six years after Tarlac town was formally founded in 1788.
From Bacolor, Pampanga came intrepid leaders, namely Don Carlos Miguel and
Don Narciso Castaeda who, years before 1788, with their families and
followers trekked through the forests and hills of Porac and Bamban before
finally settling down in what is now known as the town of Tarlac. They cleared
the forest and tilled the fertile soil until a settlement emerged along the bank of
the river which flowed across the township.
The community grew rapidly with settlers coming from Zambales, Pampanga,
Bataan, Pangasinan, Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and elsewhere.
The Pampanga
dialect became the lingua franca in the community, as it was part of Pampanga
province in those days. The two leaders, Miguel and Castaeda succeeded in
carrying out their pioneering venture through benevolent leadership, which
elicited the cooperation of their followers. Thus roads were built, barrios were
established without monetary expenditure, only through the common efforts of
everyone. It also marked the beginnings of Tarlac as a melting pot of Central
Luzon, with a mixture of divergent people working mightily for the common good.
Peace, happiness and self-sufficiency reigned during those early days. Enough
agricultural and fish products were supplied by a rich soil and a flowing river,
waiting for the hands of its hardworking settlers.
Later, it was unanimously agreed by the growing populace to request the
authorities in Manila to convert the community into a town. Don Carlos Miguel
prepared the needed resolution and forwarded it to the Spanish authorities. In
1788, a decree was issued by Captain General Don Felix Berenguer de
Marquina, proclaiming Tarlac as a town under territorial jurisdiction of
Pampanga, whose capital then was Bacolor.
The first governadorcillo (later called municipal) was Don Carlos Miguel in 1788
who, together with Don Narciso Castaeda, established the foundation of Tarlac
town. He was followed by Don Luis Briones 1789. It was during his term as the
second governadorcillo that the legend of San Sebastian started. It is said that
sometime that year, an armed band of tulisanes were stopped from marauding
the town by a young boy who turned out to be no less than San Sebastian
himself.
Tarlac is represented prominently in the eight rays of the Philippine flag because
it was among the first provinces to join the revolution in 1896. The K.K.K. of
Andres Bonifacio found early adherents among Tarlaqueos, headed by Don
Francisco Taedo, after whom the towns principal thoroughfare is named. Don
Francisco Taedo was killed in an encounter with the Spanish guardia civil at the
outset of the revolution. His early death inflamed the citizenry and his relatives
and followers were bent on capturing the town by any means, but were
dissuaded by Don Eusebio Taedo Iro, who volunteered to see his friend,
General Monet, former politico-military, governor of Tarlac and at the time the
highest military official in Pampanga. Denying that Tarlaqueos were involved in
the revolution, Don Eusebio was able to obtain orders from General Monet to
stop military operations in Tarlac. However, peace did not reign long in Tarlac
because Generals Francisco Macabulos and Jose Alejandrino already started
their offensive against the Spanish forces. On June 25 1898, Spanish soldiers
surrendered in Tarlac.
The Miguels, descendants of one of the pioneers of the town, Don Carlos Miguel,
changed their family name to Taedo in 1872 upon the promulgation of the
Claveria decree on surnames. It is said that the Miguels preferred the masculine
version of Castaeda, and Taedo was also in compliance with the designated
starting letter for all Tarlac surnames- it is therefore, not surprising that many
Tarlaqueos to this day bear such surnames as Taala, Taar, Tabamo, Taban,
Tabaquero, Tabasondra, Tamayo, Tamondong, to name a few.
President Emilio Aguinaldo proudly proclaimed the Philippine Republic on
January 23, 1899 in Malolos, Bulacan.
Assemblance of an independent
government was formed, with a lawmaking body, the Malolos Congress, a

cabinet headed by Apolinario Mabini ( who was foreign affairs minister), a
judiciary, and of course, an army led by General Antonio Luna.
A State
University, the Universidad Literaria de Filipinas, was also opened.

By July 1899, however, with the tides of war turning against Aguinaldo, Tarlac
became the last capital of the short-lived republic then on the run. Among the
deputies who were in Tarlac to attend sessions of Congress were Fernando Ma.
Guerrero of Manila, representing Leyte; Daniel Tirona of Cavite, representing
Batanes; Tomas Mascarado of Batangas, representing Sorsogon; Servillano
Aquino of Tarlac, representing Samar and Francisco Macabulos of Tarlac,

representing Cebu.
The Aquinos, forebears of the late Benigno Aquino, Jr., came from lower
Pampanga like most Tarlac settlers. The family of General Servillano Aquino
settled in the town of Concepcion, still then a part of Pampanga. Present day
Aquinos trace their Tarlac, Tarlac connections to one of the original families of
this capital town, the Taedos General Aquino married Doa Lorensa Taedo
Quiambao and later, when he lost his wife in one of the tragic episodes of the
revolution, married his wifes widowed elder sister Doa Saturnina TaedoQuiambao de Estrada, grandmother of former Senator Eva Estrada-Kalaw. The
latters bloodline is therefore not Aquino but Taedo Quiambao, which she
shares with the late Ninoy Aquino, her second cousin.
It is said, the past is a prologue to the future. This brief account of the towns
colorful history is by no means complete. Since 1788, the town has progressed
significantly, leading to its becoming the nucleus of Tarlac province.
It has
encountered countless hardships in the course of its existence, including those

precipitated by earthquakes, cholera and other epidemics, great fires,
devastating floods and similar calamities. Through the years, Tarlacs ability to
survive wars, economic difficulties and political turmoil among others, has been
proven by its consistent re-emergence as a stronger and better town, eager to
meet the challenges of tomorrow.
Tarlac upgrade to cityhood started way back in 1996, with the filing of a bill in
Congress to convert the town into a component city. House Bill No. 6863 was
passed on November 17, 1997, subsequently; Senate Bill No. 2340 was
approved on February 23, 1998. Then, on April 18, 1998, through a plebiscite
the citizenry overwhelmingly supported the conversion of Tarlac town into a
component city with affirmative votes of 21,378 out of 26,020 votes. It was
proclaimed as a component city on April 19, 1998 by virtue of Republic Act No.
8593 to be known as the City of Tarlac.
Its present leaders, led by the Honorable Mayor Genaro M. Mendoza, together
with all his co-workers in the city government can stand tall and proud of Tarlacs
2000 years of glorious history as a source of inspiration to aspire and work only
for the best, because Tarlac City deserves no less than the best.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC and PHYSICAL PROFILE OF TARLAC CITY
GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION
The City of Tarlac is situated in the heartland of Luzons rich central plain. It is
bounded on the north by the province of Pangasinan, Nueva Ecija on the east,
on the south by Pampanga and Zambales on the west. The city is almost fairly
equidistant from Manila, 125 kms. and Baguio, 127 kms. This location has made
it the favorite stop-over of people travelling north to Baguio or Manila to the
South.
The city is popularly known as the Melting Pot of Central Luzon because its
residents speak several dialects such as Tagalog, Pangasinense, Ilocano and
Pampango.
In the east, residents of the town of La Paz and a part of
Concepcion speak Tagalog on account of their proximity to the province of

Nueva Ecija, which is a Tagalog- speaking province.
In the north and in the western part of the City, the populace speaks Ilocano and
Pangasinense because of the influence of the province of Pangasinan.
In the southern part, the towns of Capas, Bamban and Concepcion speak
pampango because these towns were former parts of Tarlacs mother province of
Pampanga.
The McArthur Highway traverses the province from north to south. This is of
great geographic significance considering that the flow of goods from north to
south or east to west in Central Luzon converges in Tarlac.
CLIMATE
The climate of Tarlac resembles closely that of the surrounding provinces, Nueva
Ecija, Pampanga and Pangasinan. It two (2) distinct seasons: wet and dry. The
months of November to April are generally dry while the rest of the year is the
rainy season.

TOPOGRAPHY
The physical terrain of the City of Tarlac is generally flat with slightly rolling to
mountainous on the western part. The whole city is traversed by the Tarlac River
system.
SLOPE
Slope refers to the upward or downward inclination of the land surface. The
topography of Tarlac City, which is predominantly level to gently sloping (0-3%
slope gradient) covers 90.84% or 38,633.44 hectares, which is suitable for urban
expansion and settlements development, and for agricultural production.
Slope 3-8% which is gently rolling to undulating accounts for 6.01% of the citys
land area or 2,555.36 hectares. Moderately sloping to rolling areas, slope of 8%18%, cover 982.67 hectares or 2.31%. The smallest percentage of 358.53
hectares or 0.84% of the citys land area is rolling to hilly, with a slope gradient of
18-30%. This area is on the far western part of the city, near the boundaries of
the municipality of San Jose. Land areas on the above-mentioned slopes are
suitable for livestock grazing as identified by the SAFDZ, Bureau of Soils and
Water Management Map.
Being basically an agriculture town, a big percentage of the land is devoted to
agricultural production and thus scattered in all slope ranges. Slope ranges are
directly proportional to erosion potential. The lower the slope, the lower its
susceptibility to erosion.
(Refer to Table No. 1)
SOIL TYPES
Soil in Tarlac City is of eight types. These are:
1. Angeles Coarse Sand - this type of soil is found on riverbeds or intermittent
streams and creeks, which dry up after the rainy season. The texture of the
soil is coarse to medium sand from the surface down to a depth of more than
a meter.

2. Angeles Fine Sand - the surface soil of this type, varying in depth from 25 to
45 centimeters, is very pale-gray, loose clay. When the soil is dry the surface
is almost whitish in gravelly sand. The color is either pale reddish brown or
brownish gray.
3. La Paz Fine Sandy Loam - the surface soil of this type, ranging in depth from
40 to 50 centimeters, is light grayish brown to pale-gray fine sandy loam. Due
to the presence of same silt and clay, the undisturbed soil in the field is
compact and hard and cracks when dry.
The subsoil down to 110
centimeters more or less is grayish-brown to yellowish gray and medium to

coarse sand. The substratum is brownish-gray coarse sand.
4. Luisita Sandy Loam - the surface soil of this type is brownish gray to gray,
loose and structureless sandy loam.
The depth varies from 40 to 50
centimeters. The subsoil with a depth of 80 to 90 centimeters is brownishgray coarse and with a small amount of clay and soft concretionary materials.
5. Luisita Fine Sandy Loam - the surface soil of this type with a depth of 35
centimeters is a whitish gray fine sandy loam. There is a small amount of silt
and clay which makes the soil compact, hard and crack when dry.
The
subsoil is brownish gray, somewhat mottled with gray and yellowish-gray

sandy loam with little clay to a depth of about 100 centimeters.
6. Tarlac Clay Loam - the surface soil of this type is dark-gray to nearly black
fine granular sticky and gritty clay loam.

centimeters.
Its depth ranges from 35 to 50
The sub-soil or B horizon is characterized by calcium
carbonate accumulation. Its depth is about 50 to 80 centimeters. There is no

distinct line of separation in the A and B horizons with regards to clay
content. The limestone precipitates, the reddish-brown concretions, and the
whitish specks mark the B horizon. The parent material is tuff or tuffaceous
sandstones.
7. Tarlac Clay Loam, Gravelly Phase this type of soil occurs in the Tarlac
Clay Loam type as areas of lighter soils, with reddish brown to red, gravelly
and concretion filled profile. The surface soil is friable and granular ranging in
depth from 45 to 60 centimeters.
8. Tarlac Sandy Clay Loam - the surface of this type is light gray to dark gray
sandy clay loam. Its depth ranges from 30 to 55 centimeters. There is more
surface, due to run-off and leaching.
The subsoil is characterized by
limestone precipitate and some reddish-brown concretions and white specks.

Its depth ranges from 60 to 85 centimeters.

GEOLOGY
The Central Plain of Luzon is the physiographic expression of a large structural
trough separating the Zambales Mountain to the west from the Sierra Madre to
the east. This trough was depressed below sea level during late Tertiary and
perhaps early Quaternary time. The trough was filled to its present extent with
material washed down from the mountain slopes and deposited in the form of fan
and detail deposits and, later, flood plain deposits. The deepest wells in the
Tarlac area are about 300 meter deep and penetrate only part of the Quaternary
alluvium but the underlying rocks can be inferred from exposures of older rocks
in the hills and mountains that lie to the west of the Tarlac poblacion.
The basement complex exposed in the Zambales Mountains comprises basic
igneous rocks of Cretaceous to early Tertiary Age. Overlying the basement are
tuffaceous clastic sedimentary rocks (shales, siltstones, sandstones and
conglomerates) of Middle to Late Tertiary Age. Limestones are observed locally.
The Tertiary sediments, presumably, are overlain by the Quaternary alluvium that
fills the depressed plain.
The Quaternary alluvium is an intricately interbedded sequence of uncemented
clays, sands and gravels, each bed being relatively thin and of limited lateral
extent. The original complex pattern of deposition and reworking by the sea has
resulted in a maze of fingers and lenses of sands and gravels that are difficult to
trace and predict. Appendices A P through VII-B-17 are stratigraphic logs of
wells in the area, that illustrate the situation. Even the major units logged are
groups of thin beds lumped under the name of the major constituent, such as
clay with some sand and gravel. The thickness of the Quaternary alluvium is
uncertain; some wells were drilled to 300 m without encountering any significant
change in section while two wells (TLC-32 & TLC-33) at Tinapatan encountered
possibly older sediments at about 200 meters. The wells drilled near the hills
encountered adobe (tuff, tuffaceous sandstone), limestone and sandstone at
shallow depth which is probably indicative of rocks older than the Quaternary
alluvium. This implies that the alluvium thins out of a feather edge as it overlaps
the older rocks exposed in the hills west of Tarlac.

NATIONAL, REGIONAL AND PROVINCIAL

CONTEXT
NATIONAL PERSPECTIVE
The National Physical Framework Plan
Establishment of Regional Industrial Centers (RICs) and Peoples Industrial
Estates (PIEs) in rural areas to promote agro-based industries and open up
employment opportunities in the rural areas.
Basic Policy Option/ Guidelines
Dispersal of industries to the regions through the establishment of the RICs
should be promoted
REGIONAL PERSPECTIVE
The Regional Physical Framework Plan
The province of Tarlac shall continue to be the food bowl of the region. Small to
medium-scale processing and manufacturing centers or Peoples Industrial
Estates (PIEs) located at the heart of each congressional district will likewise be
developed and these would be linked to the RIC in Mariveles, Bataan, the Clark
Industrial Complex and the Subic Maritime Complex.
In the mountain fringes of Tarlac, the thrust shall be agro-forestry and agrolivestock development. The forest resources and environmentally-critical areas of
the region shall continually be preserved and protected.
Spatial Development Strategy
Central Luzon (Region III) can serve as an alternative site for industries located
in Metro Manila and it can assume the role of providing the requirements of the
Northern Luzon Provinces in terms of processing and manufacturing their
eventual shipment to areas of destination.
Impact Mitigation and Conservation Efforts

With the development of the province geared toward agricultural modernization
and agro-based industries, major development projects in the province are
focused mainly on the provision of road networks, water-based infrastructure
facilities and productivity centers.
PROVINCIAL PERSPECTIVE
The Provincial Physical Framework Plan
Envisions the province to be an Agro-Industrial cum Tourism Hub of Central
Luzon.
Tarlac City will continue to provide the higher level functions and services. The
City is being likened to the hub of a wheel, the wheel being Tarlac Province. Just
like the wheel, the development of the province is expected to flow from the hub
to the peripheral areas through the spokes radiating from the center and
connected by circumferential reinforcements. The growth municipalities (located
along the radial and circumferential roads) are ranked in hierarchy to perform
distinct roles and functions to ensure among others, efficiency of basic service
delivery. On top of the hierarchy is Tarlac City. As primary urban center, it is the
major player in the provision of higher level functions and services.

DEMOGRAPHY
POPULATION SIZE AND GROWTH

The magnitude of population growth is particularly important to a developing city
like Tarlac, The 2000 actual census on population conducted by National
Statistics Office, Region III, shows that Tarlac City has a population of 262,481,
only 40% of which is within the urban area. Highest population is registered by
Barangay Matatalaib with 16,299 in a land area of 475 has. Barangay San
Vicente follows it with a population of 14,223 in a land area of 1,065 has. The
next three barangays that registered large populations are San Rafael, 11,277,
Tibag, 8,901 and San Isidro, 8,670. All five are urban barangays.
Comparing the city population in 1995 of 230,459 and the National Statistics
Office (NSO) actual census on population for 2000 shows an increase by 32,022
persons, about 1.36% increase in an expand of five years.
URBAN / RURAL DISTRIBUTION

Per National Statistics Office Classification of Population, a large segment of the
population of Tarlac City is urban. Urban population totaled 106,061 or 40% of
the total population for 2000 and 100,137 for 1995 or an increase of 5,924 or
5.92%. Rural population summed up to 156,420 and 130,322 for 2000 and 1995,
respectively.

POPULATION DENSITY
In terms of population density the city registered 6.33 per person per hectare in
year 2001. See Table No. 5 for its annual population density up to year 2002
and Table No. 6 for its population density per barangay.
SEX AND STRUCTURE

Like the rest of the country, the young population of Tarlac exhibits a pyramidal
age structure; Table No. 7 shows that population between the age of 1-14 years
old in the year 1995 accounts for 39.57% of the total population of 230,459 while
3.17% are in the age bracket of 65 years old and above.
MOTHER TONGUE
Based on the 1995 census conducted by the NSO within the City of Tarlac, there
are three major dialects generally spoken by the people, namely: Pampango,
Tagalog and Ilocano. Pampango or Kapampangan represent 75.22%, Tagalog,
14.58%, Ilocano, 8.55% and the remaining 1.65% constitute other dialects such
as Pangasinense, Visayan, Bicolano, etc. (Refer to Table No. 8)
RELIGION
Majority of the City population are Roman Catholics comprising 86.77%, followed
by Iglesia Ni Kristo, 7.77% and the remaining 5.46% belongs to other religious
sects/denominations. (Refer to Table No. 9)
Each denomination plays a vital role in fostering spiritually and moral needs in all
segments of society. The responsibility becomes a challenge when we observe
the decadence of the morality and spirituality in almost sectors in the locality.
EMPLOYMENT STATUS
Based on the October 2000 survey conducted by the NSO within the City of
Tarlac, out of the 164,000 household population aged 15 years old and above

employment rate and 9.50% unemployment with visible underemployment rate of
0.70%. Fifty percent (50%) out of the 90,000 household populations mostly were
employed in a service industry, 34.44% were in various industries and 15.56%
are in agricultural industry. (Refer to Table Nos. 10-A, 10-B & 10-C)

(Table No. 12).

Because of development and

population increase, it is proposed
that these five (5) barangays be
