    Urban planning laws in the Philippines aim to promote public welfare and efficient land use. The Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992 (RA 7279) established a comprehensive urban development and housing program and covers lands in urban and urbanizable areas. It has certain exemptions. The Balanced Housing Development Program Amendments (RA 10884) redefined socialized housing to include residential condominiums. Three recent illegal demolitions in Tacloban City violated RA 7279 by not conducting consultations or providing proper notice and relocation. Executive orders and circulars also guide sustainable urban planning and development.

    URBAN PLANNING LAWS

    in the
    PHILIPPINES
    What is Urban Planning?
    deals with physical layout of
    human settlements.

    PRIMARY CONCERN:
    is public welfare, which includes
    considerations of efficiency, sanitation,
    protection and use of the environment,
    as well as effects on social and
    economic ativities.
    What is good Urban Planning?
    It includes environmental management
    and disaster risk reduction.
    Urban Planning Laws
    RA 7279
    (Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992)

    RA 10884
    (Balanced Housing Development Program Amendments,
    Amending RA 7279)
    Republic Act No. 7279
    An Act to provide for a comprehensive and
    continuing Urban Development and Housing
    Program, establish the mechanism
    for its implementation, and for other purposes.
    RA 7279
    Section 1. Title.
    -This Act shall be known as the
    “Urban Development and Housing Act of 1992”

    Section 2. Declaration of State Policy and


    Program Objectives.
    -It shall be the policy of the State to undertake, in cooperation
    with private sector, a comprehensive and continuing
    Urban Development and Housing Program.
    RA 7279
    Section 4. Coverage
    -The program shall cover all lands in urban and urbanizable
    areas, including existing areas for priority development, zonal
    improvement sites, slum improvement and resettlements sites,
    and in other areas that may be identified by the local
    government units as suitable for socialized housing.
    RA 7279
    Section 4. Exemptions
    (a) Those included in the coverage of RA 6657, otherwise known as the Comprehensive Agrarian
    Reform Law;

    (b) Those actually used for national defense and security of the State;

    (c) Those used or set aside for parks, reserves for flora and fauna, forests and watersheds, other areas
    necessary to maintain ecological balance or environmental protection, as determined and certified to
    by the proper government agency;

    (d) Those used, reserved or otherwise set aside for government offices...

    (e) Those actually and primarily used for religious, charitable, or educational purposes, cultural and
    historic sites, hospitals and health centers, and cemeteries and memorial parks.
    Current issues:
    Three (3) cases of illegal demolition happened in the village of Brgy. 6-A
    Sto. Nino Extension, Anibong and Kassel in Tacloban City, Feb 28 2019,
    to give way for the road widening project of the city government unit.

    This happened despite not conducting a consultation with the residents,


    providing them a 30-day notice and a clear relocation.

    RA 7279 provides for certain procedural requirements (Due Process of Law)


    to protect the citizens from arbitrary, abusive, and despotic execution of law
    as what indeed happened recently in Tacloban.

    LGU Tacloban have a blatant violation of RA 7279 and are contrary to Pres.
    Duterte's “No Relocation, No Demolition” Policy.
    Republic Act No. 10884
    known as An Act Strengthening the Balanced Housing
    Development Program, amends RA 7279 The Urban
    Development and Housing Act of 1992)
    The law would help lessen the country's housing backlog as it is
    expected to removes “stumbling blocks to socialized housing
    production.”

    A new law has redefined socialized housing to include residential


    condominium units and has amended provisions for balanced housing
    development.
    Salient points of RA 10884:
    (a) As amended, Sec. 3 of RA 7279 now defined socialized
    housing to refer to housing programs and projects covering
    houses and lots or homelots only or residential condominium
    units undertaken by the government or the private sector
    for poor and homeless Filipinos.

    The owners and/or developers of the condominium


    projects are now covered by RA 10884.
    This is to help in lessening daily suburban commute and
    traffic congestion.
    LAWS that ensure rational land use and
    sustainable urban and regional development
    Executive Order No.72

    Memorandum Circular No.54

    Executive Order No.124
