Data Gathering
Received information from the concerned barangay LGUs, city LGU of Malolos, provincial LGU, and the DPWH were gathered as part of this project. In particular, the existing Comprehensive Land Use Plans (CLUPs), Annual Investment Plans (AIPs).
Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP)
The CLUP is the city’s blueprint for development in the various sectors.
Annual Investment Plan (AIP)
To operationalize the programs and projects included in the CLUP, the city’s AIP provides for the detailed listing of the interventions per sector.
DPWH Interventions in the 2023 General Appropriations Act (GAA)
As the City of Malolos LGU has budget constraints to spearhead programs and projects related to flood risk management, the DPWH is an executive agency that collaborates with the LGUs to implement infrastructure programs and projects.
Development Context of the City of Malolos
The City of Malolos, a coastal component city in the province of Bulacan, serves as the provincial capital. It has a total land area of 67.25 square kilometers (km2), which constitutes 2.42% of Bulacan’s total land area.
