OFFFICE OF THE MAYOR 

Message 


As we embark on life’s journey into the 21st century in the midst of global competition, we notice a remarkable 

transformation in people, places and how we live. Globalization, for all its benefits and drawbacks is here to stay. 

In Balanga City, Balangueños take this issue with a more positive attitude. To them, global competition offers 

numerous opportunities that require no less than a strong will, smart innovation and wise decisions. 

Known as “The City Across the Bay”, Balanga is now considered as among the fastest growing urban centers in the 

country and enjoys the advantage of being at the heart of the region’s main growth corridors which criss-crosses the 

eco-industrial hubs of Manila, Subic and Clark. 

What eludes some of us, perhaps, is how the city has gone this far barely a decade since its establishment in year 2000. 

It’s been an amazing run, so to speak. 

Going over the list of what has been achieved in most recent years can give us a glimpse and far better understanding 

as to where we’re really headed to. 

We knew we started on the right footing because it’s not a coincidence or a mere stroke of 

luck that we were able to build fine infrastructure; provide quality education thru the 

“Iskolar ng Balangueño Program”; empower the grassroots local governance thru 

the “Barangay Week” program; promote health care by distributing “Galing Health 

cards” to poor but deserving families; give much-needed boost to Eco-tourism; beef 

up City Marshals to maintain peace and order and enforce city ordinances on anti 

–pollution, no smoking and littering. 

Aside from this, we’ve gone very business friendly to our patrons and clients with 

our “One-Stop-Shop” , the best in the region and a recipient of multiple awards from 

the Philippine Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 

With some fiscal policies working well coupled with transparency in governance it’s 

no wonder we’re enjoying socio-economic and political stability – all blessings we’ve so 

worked hard for which we believe can realize our vision to be a world class University 

Town by year 2020. 

All these things we do and will continue doing by all means to serve the interest of 

our beloved Balangueños. 

Now, as we aim higher to conquer new heights and explore the far fringes 

of the horizon, we might as well think of taking a big swing at it and have 

a smooth follow through. It’s absolutely the surest way of gaining more 

mileage as we sail along beyond the next decade – the time when we have 

already reached our goal bearing the title “World Class”. 

HON. JOSE ENRIQUE S. GARCIA III

city profile 

Balanga, the capital of Bataan, was formerly a visita of Abucay before it was established as a mission of the 

Dominican Order in the Provincial Chapter of April 21, 1714 and later declared a vicariate on April18, 1739, 

under the patronage of Saint Joseph. Upon the establishment of Bataan as a separate province in 1754, 

Balanga was made its capital by General Pedro Manuel Arandia due to its favorable location,at the heart of 

the new territorial jurisdiction. The word Balanga originates from the Tagalog word bañga (clay pot), which 

the town used to produce and which was among the best that can be found in the country. 

Today. Balanga has just recently been transformed into a City. Prior to this development, the City has 

extended its urban fringe to west of Roman Superhighway and a new growth center in Barangay Tuyo has 

been delineated in the Comprehensive Land Use Plan. During the past years, the city saw a high record 

of residential growth. The consequent expansion of the physical limits of the urban core as well as the 

expected large increases in population, and its attractiveness to commercial and employment activities, 

the City Government of Balanga decided to undertake a Master Planning exercise and to propose various 

developmental projects that would establish Balanga as a well-planned community with quality and character 

that is innovative and special 

OUr VISION 

A world class University Town by the year 2020 acknowledged as the 

center of political, economic, social and cultural interaction in the region. 

OUr MISSION 

Provide strong academic atmosphere that will ensure sustainable 

development for the city.

strategic location for investment which is supported by the nearby industrial areas like the 

newly created Freeport Area of Bataan, the Subic Bay Freeport Zone and the Clark Special
