    Olongapo City, Zambales

    “Olongapo City is a globally renowned tourism


    and convention hub, an education and
    government center, a Freeport City, characterized
    by a sustainable ecology; propelled by
    competitive and God-loving citizenry; motivated
    by principles of good governance”
    Area of Study

    Landuse: Institutional/ Commercial / Openspace


    Type of Use: Recreation/ Education / Utilities

    THE PROPOSED LAND USE PLAN FOR YEAR 2016- 2026

    Land Use: Institutional/ Commercial / Open space

    The 2016-2026 proposed land use of Olongapo City (marikit area) was concentrated to
    be utilized as an institutional and commercial area compared to the land use of 2011 of
    olongapo city where it can be seen that within the vicnity residential area was evident.
    Existing Condition
    Proposed Development

    MICE Destination and Business


    Outsourcing Center

    There exist a demand of meeting, incentives,


    conventions, exhibitions and events tourism
    industry in the region. Taking advantage of this
    opportunity is feasible, considering the City of
    being proximate to the corporate industrial
    doors of the W growth corridor. Olongapo City
    can conveniently cater incomparably to the
    demand of this particular industry. An old 14.3
    hectare civic complex, popularly known as the
    Marikit Park was viewed by the business
    community suitable for redevelopment.
    Situated in the area are institutional
    establishments, such as the decade old Marikit
    Park, Tennis Court of the local tennis
    aficionados, the City Convention Center, the
    City Museum, a Command Center of the City’s
    DRRMO, and the City-run College, Gordon
    College.
    Conclusion

    Based from my analysis not all developments are really developments sometimes it is just for
    the people who are in the government and not for the people. As the SM Olongapo City Central
    situated in the old Marikit Park many public spaces was disregarded by the development such
    as the Leo’s Park, the OCCC, The Museum and the Public Library of Olongapo City, removing a
    part of the Olongapo City’s character. Even the environment of the area was disregarded, many
    trees were cut down and replaced by a massive concrete mall that doesn’t even generate air
    for us to breathe and doesn’t work as a sponge that will help the community during natural
    calaminities (flooding). This may be a great development but not enough to justify the long
    gone public space for the people of Olongapo that will really generate as interactive space for
    them. and real developments will only takes place if it was really inteded to the betterment of
    the people and its environment.
