I.
SOCIO-ECONOMIC PROFILE
1. HISTORICAL BACKGROUNDThe town of Dasmariñas started as a barrio of Imus, and in 1867 it was made as an independent municipality.
The Spanish Government named the town Perez Dasmariñas in honor of the Spanish Governor General of the islands from 1590-1593. 250 Chinese oarsmen whom he had hired to work murdered him. His son, Don Luis Perez Dasmariñas, also lost his life in the hands of the Chinese in 1603. Don Gomez Perez Dasmariñas was well remembered because he was the one who initiated the fortification of Intramuros and Fort Santiago.
Perez Dasmariñas was formerly a “visita” of Imus, which was founded by the Recollect Fathers in 1795. The Camarin de Piedra owned by the Recollectors was used as the first church of Dasmariñas upon its division while the residents were constructing a new one.
According to records, the first settlers must have arrived in 1861 and were believed to be the families of Gil Tirona, Vicente Guevarra, Eleuterio Geda and Eustaquio Paulme.
The town of Dasmariñas became a bloody battlefield during the Revolution in 1896-1897.
After capturing the town on February 25, 1897, the Spaniards burned all the houses and buildings in the Poblacion except the Catholic Church. Hundreds of its inhabitants died in the fighting. Noted Filipino Generals like Flaviano Yengko and Crispulo Aguinaldo died in action during the aforesaid encounters.
In 1905, during the early American Regime, the town of Dasmariñas became again a barrio of Imus and remained a part of the said town until 1907 when it was again made a separate municipality
during the incumbency of Provincial Governor Antero Soriano. In that year, the name Perez was dropped or deleted through the efforts of Capt. Placido Campos, Francisco Barzaga and Felipe Tirona.
The growing congestion and outward urban expansion of the Metropolitan Manila Area has set-up a favorable development atmosphere for the town. As one of Cavite’s lowland towns situated within the Metro Manila urban influenced area the improvement of growth corridors and road linkages converged within the area, thus providing for its rapid development.
The changing outlook of the town as a traditional agricultural town to a fast urbanizing town serves as telltale a sign of its fast-paced development. Now, with a population of about 442,572 people and with the development of the resettlement areas virtually give impetus for a new town. The town now is experiencing the establishment of several large educational and health institutions, the influx of industries and subdivision developments. Apparently, the town’s economy and its development trend are progressively being re-structured and re-oriented towards urban progress.
B. PHYSICAL AND NATURAL CHARACTERISTICS 1. Geographical Location
The Municipality lies on coordinates 14° 20’ N latitude and 120° 50’E longitude. It is situated on the northeastern part of Cavite province along the eastern provincial boundaries with Laguna. As such, it is at the center of the CALABARZON sub-region within the regional jurisdiction of Region IV.
It is bounded on the north by the municipalities of Imus and Bacoor; on the east the municipalities of San Pedro, General Mariano Alvarez and Muntinlupa City, on the south by Silang and on the west by General Trias.
The municipality is about thirty (30) kilometers from Metro Manila, the country metropolis; (32) kilometers from Calamba, the regional capital and (12) kilometers from Trece Martirez City, which is the provincial capital. It is accessible from all points and growth centers via a network of concrete national highways and provincial roads.
The town is landlocked. However, it is thirty (30) kilometers away from the coastal town of Rosario, Kawit, Bacoor, Noveleta and Cavite City. It is about twenty-seven (27) kilometers from the Resort City of Tagaytay and its famous Taal Lake and about the same distance from the Puerto Azul resort complex.

2. Land Area
The approximate total land area is 9,013 hectares. These are occupied by 73 barangays of which twenty six (26) barangays are old barangays further subdivided due to increase in population and the forty-seven (47) barangays which are old resettlement areas established into regular barangays, of which three (3) are in Burol and forty-four (44) are generally included under the Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan (DBB areas). Table No. 1 shows Area by barangay. Last March, Sangguniang Bayan file a resolution creating two more barangays namely Victoria Reyes and H-2. It is now file at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan for approval.
3. Climate
Dasmariñas has two pronounced seasons: wet season and dry season. Wet season covers the period from May to December and dries from January to April.
The east-southeast monsoon prevails over the area from December to May while southwesterly winds blow during rainy season from June to August with heavy downpour.
4. Slope and Topography
The municipality are generally lowland with areas having slopes 0-18% accounting for about 81% the total land area while the remaining 19% are with slopes 18% and above.
The topography is generally sloping, undulating hills distributed in all barangays of the municipality. Practically all slope classification of land area is present in all barangays. Except in some portion at barangays Burol, Langkaan, Paliparan, Salawag, Samapaloc and San Agustin, which are strongly sloping, and hill, all others are level, too gently undulating to moderately sloping or rolling terrain. (See table no. 2 slope classification.) Since these slope classifications are favorable for urban use and cultivation, the municipality is presently maximizing its potentials as a new city on the rise with a balanced urbanization and agricultural development.
5. Soils
The soils of the municipality are of the Guadalupe, Magallanes and Carmona series. Under each series the soil types are Guadalupe Clay Loam and Guadalupe Clay adobe, Magallanes clay loam and Magallanes loam and Carmona clay loam and Carmona clay respectively.
The largest soil type in terms of area coverage is Carmona Clay loam, which covers a total area of 3,169 hectares. These are found in the whole of Paliparan 1-III and portions of Salawag and Sampaloc I-V. Carmona clay, which is found only at some portions of Salawag, is the smallest soil type in terms of is coverage. Guadalupe clay loam is the most common soil type covering almost all barangays except in Langkaan and Paliparan. The guadalupe series are found both in lowland and upland section of the town. The lowland portions are devoted to rice production with or without irrigation. In the slightly upland area the soil is utilized for pasture and is some place planted to upland rice and fruit trees.
The Magallanes soil series is lower in elevation and is slightly rolling and gently undulating in topography. Deep River flowing north cut whole area. The soil under vegetative cover is brown to dark brown. During continuous rains, the surface soil surely and consequently erodes easily. Soil erosion is not extensive.
Under the Carmona series the greater portion of Carmona clay loam is uncultivated. The location and the topography of the land are somewhat favorable to Orchard planting. The upper portion where considerable vegetation growth is found is utilized mostly for pasture. Table no. 3 shows soil distribution by barangay.

DEMOGRAPHY
C
D 1. INTRODUCTION
E
The population of a given planning area is considered as a primary object and a vital consideration for planning. The development needs of an area in terms of spatial dimension as well as the level of sectoral requirements to be provided are primarily determined by its population size and characteristics.
Thus, a basic step in any planning exercise is the conduct of a comprehensive study of the area’s population. Such study shall then serve as a take-off point in plan formulation and implementation.
2. METHODOLOGY
The population studies herein presented are based mainly on official reports of the National Statistics office supported by records of the Local Government Unit.
Using the geometric formula, the 1990 and 1995 NSO reports were utilized as base data for population projections from 1999-2010.
3. POPULATION GROWTH
The first NCSO official census of population for the municipality was conducted in the year 1903, recording a total population of 3,028. The figure increased to 262,406 by the year 1995, almost a hundred-fold increase over 93 years.
The town exhibited a significant population increase for the period 1975- 1980 with an annual growth rate of 25.51%. This can be attributed to the influx of urban families from Metro Manila to the resettlement areas of Dasmariñas.
The year 1980 served as the benchmark for continuous population boom almost doubling the municipal figures every censal year. The presence of economic catalizers such as institutional, commercial and industrial establishments had contributed much to the existing demographic profile of the area.
The current year 1999 recorded an annual growth rate of 13.96% or an increase of 180,166 persons within a period of 4 years. The average growth rate of 13.96% derived from the 1990 and 1995 figures were utilized as basis for projection within the planning period of 2000-2010. Refer to Table No. 4 for the Historical Growth of Population.
4. POPULATION DISTRIBUTION/DENSITY
Based on the 1999 Projected Population, the total population of 442,572 is distributed to the 73 barangays of the municipality (see table no. 5). Dasmariñas town proper is composed of 26 barangays having a total population of 192,768 including the Poblacion area. The Poblacion is composed of 5 barangays namely Zones I, I-A, II, III and IV with a population of 15,127, 3.42% of the total population concentration of institutional, commercial and industrial establishments are noticeable within the old town proper.
Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan is composed of 47 barangays, all of, which constitute the resettlements areas and registering a total population of 249,804.
Thickly populated barangays are Barangay Paliparan III, Sampaloc IV, San Simon, Salawag and Sultan Esmael.
With a total land area of 9013 hectares, Dasmariñas has a gross density of 49 persons per hectare classifying the town as a low-density area. Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan falls under the category of high density area with 542 persons per hectare.
5. AGE – SEX DISTRIBUTION
Analysis of the sex ratio shows that the male-female ratio is almost 1:1. Based on the 1995 NSO survey, males constitute 130,809 or 49.85% while females are 131,597 or 50.15%. For 1999, there are 220,621 males and 221,951 females.
Of the total population (1999) of 442,572, 39.03% or 172,727 constitute the child and youth group. This ranges from age brackets under 1 to 0.14. The productive or working age group total to 260,685 or 58.90%. This includes population with ages 15 – 19 to 60 – 64 years old and also constitutes the potential labor force. Senior Citizens whose ages range from 65 and above total to 9,160 or 2.07% of the total population.
The dependent group composes of the youth and child group plus the senior citizens total to 181,887 corresponding to 41.10% of the population. With a potential labor force of 58.90% of the population the economic dependency ratio 1:1.4, which means that there are 14 dependents for every 10-labor force.
With an economic dependency ratio of 1:1.4, it can be noted that the population is more of a provider. Such position could only be uphold if the socio-economic activities are given greater emphasis and made responsive to the needs of the populace. Introduction of labor-intensive, income generating endeavors can also cite incentives to the labor force.
6. MOTHER TONGUE
Being geographically located in the Tagalog region, the dialect predominantly spoken is Tagalog. This constitutes about 76.49% of the total household population. There are however, several other dialects spoken in the area such as Cebuano, Hiligaynan, Ilocano, Waray, Bicol, Ibanag, Pampango, Pangasinan, Maguindanao, Marasao, Aklanon, Binisaya, Ilangat, Mangyan and the other local dialects of very minimal percentage. This can be attributed to in-migration corollary to the presence of socio-economic activities as well as the resettlement activities of urban families from Metro Manila to Dasmariñas. (Refer to Table No. 8).
7. RELIGION
The municipality of Dasmariñas is predominantly Roman Catholic constituting about 88.94% of the total household population. Other religious affiliations in the area totals to a meager 11.06%, as reflected on Table No. 9.
8. MARITAL STATUS
Out of the population 10 years old and over, 50.05% are married while 44.59% are single and never married. The rest are widows, 3.62%, and separated, 1.19%. It is a normal factor to have increasing trend in all status. See Table No. 10 on marital status.
9. LABOR FORCE
Labor Force is the economically active population comprising of population 15 years old and above and over and who are either employed or unemployed.
Current labor force is 137,575 or 52% of the household population 15 years old and over. Of this figure, 124,608 are employed, and 12,967 are unemployed. The remaining 48% are not in the labor force, as shown in Table No. 11.
10. POPULATION PROJECTIONS
The annual growth rate is 13.96%. The figures from the 1990 and 1995 National Statistics Office (NSO) reports were utilized as base data in population projections. Planning period is 2000-2010, covering an eleven-year span.
Population projections from 2000-2010 will serve as the basis for spatial and sectoral requirements. See Table no. 12 for Projected Population and household. These include projected population data on relevant factors such as barangay, age group, labor force and number of households.

HOUSING
a. RESIDENTIAL AREA/DENSITY
Residential areas within Dasmariñas occupy an approximate area of 3,596.20 hectares that is 39.90% of the total land area. The socio-economic development of the area prompted the development of about 167 residential subdivisions. See Table no. 15 for the list of different subdivisions. The continuation of pouring of housing subdivisions developments in the different barangays of the locality indicates its eventual transformation into a residential town. More developments of this type can be anticipated in the near future.
Aside from these subdivisions is housing projects at the Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan under the National Housing Authority are coordination with the Local Government. This is in pursuant to LOI No., 19 and 19A which embodies the development of Dasmariñas Resettlement Program now, known as Dasmariñas Bagong Bayan. Initiated in November of 1972, the 466 hectares project site is planned to be a self-contained community. Beneficiaries of this program are urban families from the Metropolis. Being an integral component of the town, this area shall be a significant influence in the development thrust of Dasmariñas. For the local squatters, the Local Government implemented the Municipal Homesite Acquisition Program at the Paliparan Sites and Services Project.
As of 1999, the town has a projected gross density of 49 persons per hectare and a gross residential density of 123 persons per hectare of residential area.

SOCIAL WELFARE
a. EXISTING SITUATIONThe Municipal Social Welfare and Development Office of Dasmariñas, Cavite, which has the mandate to spearhead the alleviation of the indigent sector’s plight in the municipality, now has 15 personnel: A registered social worker who heads the department and supervises the staff, five program staffers composed of eligible social workers and other paraprofessionals, plus nine (9) support staff consisting of clerks and utility workers, including drivers.
The program staffs are the ones responsible in program implementations and delivery of services to the indigent clienteles of the office in seventy-three (7) barangays of Dasmariñas.
Through the initiative of the department head, who only took rein of the MSWDO in the last quarter of 1998, the office, which used to share a very little room with the Telecommunications staff at the town hall, was given its own office in DBB-B.
Its transfer to the new site enabled the staff to work faster, with the services readily delivered to those who need them. More clients come so additional personnel are needed. That’s why from the original six (6) workers, MSWDO has now fifteen (15) personnel.
The number of day care centers was also increased by the opening of twenty (20) new ones for a total of eighty-two (82) centers today. This also necessitated the training of eighteen (18) new day care workers for a total of seventy-five (75) day care workers. See Table No. 55
MSWDO had also been designated to handle the procurement, hauling and temporary storage of the rice, sugar and other basic commodities for the operators of PIDI’s Rolling Store Project from twenty-five (25) barangays, which started in September 1999. The distributed project has been going fine, and additional units
of rolling stores would soon be distributed to other barangays. Beneficiaries of the project are shown on Table no. 56.
The Municipal Government had granted MSWDO the exclusive use of service vehicles, which the staff used in making rounds to day care centers, PIDI’s Rolling Store, and during disaster time to make on-the-spot evaluation of the calamity extent. A dump truck stands by for the commodity-hauling trips to NFA-Gen. Trias and MAKRO and other dealers.
MSWDO had accomplished the following in 1999: (See table no. 57 for details).
1. Community Welfare Programs:
a. During the first half of 1999, the office entertained applicant in-groups from different barangays who wish to put up livelihood projects with funding coming from the Municipal Government. Their applications were processed, but with the orientation that the funding is for the Sangguniang Bayan’s approval. Community meetings were conducted and feasibility studies were made on their proposed activities. After processing about twenty (20) group applications and the funding was still not in sight, these applications were temporarily shelved for later reference.
b. Pre-Marriage Counseling session were regularly conducted for would-be couples who actively participated knowing that stronger relationships could be attained by the couple if they would be aware of their respective roles and responsibility in the union that they were going into.
c. Death Aid assistance had been extended to indigent families mourning over their loss of their loved ones of twilight ages.

2. Emergency Assistance:
An alarming upsurge in cases of Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever was brought to the attention of MSWDO and the office requested for a P 500,000.00-funding for a program that helped the Dengue victims and/or their families.
As to the clientele groups whose needs not within the scope of MSWDO’s service umbrella, including financial, medical, burial, temporary shelter or institutionalization (temporary or permanent), referral letters made or case study reports were prepared based on home visitation and interview conducted on clients and their families or neighbors and these were sent to MSWDO’s networking linkages which include the following:

3. Child and Youth Welfare:
MSWDO handled four youthful offender cases whereby a social worker is assigned to monitor the youths’ weekly activities while on probation or under parental custody. The staff also took the initiative of entertaining walk-in clients with legal cases like theft, child abuse and exploitation by making the intake interview of the clients who were later accompanied to the DSWD Field Office IV. Interview records were turned over to the DSWD to help the concerned staff in readily assessing the case and helping the client.
MSWDO also extended supervisory support to the ISMO Training Center, a sub-project of the defunct Dasmariñas Employment Generation Project-Inter Agency had been maintained mainly because it continuously provide livelihood opportunities to the youth trainees who would other wise have less chance competing for gainful employment with the skilled and well-educated.
For the year, the concerned staff of MSWDO conducted Day Care Service orientations to the different parents’ committees, which were later formed into a federation.
The Day Care Program was placed under close monitoring and supervision to protect the welfare of the pre-schoolers. The Staff were present during the Nutrition Month Celebration in July, which was highlighted by children’s parade, parents’ recipe making and cooking demonstrations. There was also at least one staff attending the induction Cum Investiture in August and September, and the October celebration of Universal Children’s Month was also graced by social workers who engaged the pre-schoolers in song, dance, poem, clay-molding and draw-and-tell contests.
Preparation on the selection of Mr. & Miss Day Care ’99 of the different Day Care Centers were conducted with the guidance of the staff. In December, the crowning of the Mr. & Miss Day Care was celebrated.
4. Other Activities:
Aside from the cited activities and the normal, routinary service deliveries undertaken by MSWDO, the office also assumed the following committee memberships:
a. Lead Agency in the Alay Lakad, ‘99
b. Chairman of the Municipal Council for the Protection of Children c. Secretariat of the Interagency Coordination Council for Bautista d. Member of the Municipal Disaster Coordination Council

There are about 2,019 registered senior citizens that avail of said services. Senior citizens offices are included in each barangay hall. Congressional funds are among the sources of funds for their various activities. Assisting the MSWDO in the delivery of social welfare services are civic and religious organizations, shown on Table No. 58.
b. DEVELOPMENT NEEDS
Presently, the social welfare office is doing its best to deliver the job being assigned to it. But considering the projected increase in number of households and influx of resettled families there would be a need to provide additional Day Care Centers and rolling stores to sustain the needs of increasing number of families. In Table No. 59 you can see the projected clientele within the planning period. Immediate concern of the municipal government is the construction of seven (7) day care centers in various barangays. This would likewise require additional day care workers.
