I. GENERAL INFORMATION
Region 02 is composed of five (5) provinces namely the island group ofBatanes, the valley provinces of Cagayan and Isabela, and the generallymountainous provinces of Nueva Vizcaya and Quirino. It lies within thenortheastern tip of the Philippines and bounded on three sides by big mountainranges: Cordillera to the west, Caraballo to the south, and Sierra Madre to theeast. To the north lies the Babuyan channel beyond which is the North ChinaSea. Tuguegarao City, the regional capital, is about 485 kilometers from Manilavia the Maharlika Highway. (Figures 1 and 2)
Land Area
Cagayan Valley is the fourth largest region inthe country with a total land area of 2,683,758hectares. The provinces of Cagayan and Isabelaoccupy about three-fourths of the region’s areahaving 900,267 has. and 1,066,456 has., respectively.The remaining area is shared by the provinces ofNueva Vizcaya (390,387 has.), Quirino (305,720 has.),and the island group of Batanes (20,928 has.). (Table1)
Topography
Topography is generally sloping. About 40percent of the land is mountainous or with slopesgreater than 30 degrees. This is followed byundulating to hilly terrain (8 to 30 degrees slope) andlowlands (below 8 degrees slope) at 31 and 29percent of total area respectively (Table 1 andFigures 3,4 and 5). Lands with elevation from 0 to500 m. above sea level (ASL) represent about 92percent of the total area while only 8 percent havean elevation between 500 to 1000 m. ASL (Figure 3).

Climate
The region falls under four climate types generally characterized by TypeIII, not very pronounced seasons or dry from November to April and wet duringthe rest of the year in the region’s western flank or valley areas; Type IV withrainfall more or less evenly distributed throughout the year in the region’s easternflank, Type II in the island municipalities of Batanes Province and Type I with twopronounced seasons, dry from November to April and wet during the rest of theyear in the western portion of the province of Nueva Vizcaya and the northwesttip of Cagayan province (Figure 6). Rainfall varies from 1600 mm. in the valleyareas to 4400 mm. in the mountainous areas. Regional annual average rainfall is2600 mm. Temperature ranges from a low of 17oC during the period ofNovember to February, to a high of 35oC during the months of April to June, withMay as the warmest and January the coldest months. High humidity prevails,ranging from 70% and 90%, with an annual mean of 76%. Tropical storms arecommon between May and November, averaging about twelve per year. .
Hydrology
The region has the largest possible dam and reservoirsites among all regions in the country. It also has the biggestriver basin, the Cagayan River Basin, with a drainage area ofabout 2,730,00 hectares and groundwater reserve of 47,895MCM (Figure 7). Groundwater storage capacity is placed11,850 MCM with estimated gross inflow of 7,186 MCM andnet inflow of 3,593 MCM per year. The Cagayan River hasthree major tributaries: Ilagan River which drains a majorportion of the eastern watersheds, Magat River which drawswater from the southern portions, and Chico River coveringnorthwest areas.

Both inland and marine waters make up a considerable resource. Rivers,swamps and lakes have an aggregate area of 22,724 hectares. There are about890 kms. of coastline and rich fishing grounds, particularly within the Babuyan andBalintang Channels on the north and the Palanan and Divilacan Bays on theeast, including its territorial seas within the 200 kms. Exclusive Economic Zones(EEZs).
Land Use Opportunity
Based on land use opportunity, about 15,881 sq. kms. (59%) of the totalland area is best suited for forest and wildlife. About 988,000 hectares (37%) issuitable for crops, 929 sq. kms. (3%) for built-up and other special uses, and 168 sq.kms. for fishponds and mangroves. Of its total potential cropland, about 5,897 sq.kms. (60%) is suitable for rice and corn; 463 sq. kms. (5%) for vegetables and otherrootcrops; and 3,307 sq. kms. (35%) for fruit trees and other permanent crops(Table 2).
Ecological Features
There are several minor faultlines but most of these are inactive. Only theDigdig Fault is considered active as manifested by the 1990 killer earthquake(Figure 8). There are also about four minor volcanoes located in the province ofCagayan and off its northern coast. While these volcanoes are considereddormant, the Mt. Pinatubo tragedy and the reported Smoke emissions of one ofthese volcanoes (Mt. Didicas) off Camiguin Island, necessitate the conduct ofstudies and preparation to anticipate their possible reactivation.

III. INFRASTRUCTURE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
A. TRANSPORT ENTRY POINTS
Tuguegarao City, the regional capital, is about 485 kilometers from Manilavia the Maharlika Highway. Air-conditioned and ordinary buses regularly ply theroute from Metro Manila to the region mainly through Sta. Fe, Nueva Vizcaya. Theregion can also be reached via Patapat Road which link it to the Ilocos Region.Air flights to and from Metro Manila are also available in Tuguegarao City.
AIRPORTS
Region 02 has 4 public airports in operation, namely, Tuguegarao,Cauayan, Basco, and Bagabag Airports.
Tuguegarao Airport
From the public market, the airport is 1.5 kms away which can be reachedthrough the national highway going to Aparri, Cagayan. Available transportfacilities are buses, jeepneys, tricycles and even calesas. Flights available are thefollowing:
To and from ManilaTo and from BatanesTo and from PalananTo and from Dinapigue
Cauayan Airport/Private Airport
Meanwhile, an airstrip that was constructed along the eastern coast ofPalanan, Isabela by the ACME logging concessionaire is currently used by privateaircrafts for commercial operation (The ACME Wood Industry Inc. ceasedoperation in 1996). The airport is along the national highway 2 kms. before thepublic market when traveling from Metro Manila. From the public market, it canbe reached through buses, jeepneys and tricycles. Available flights are as follows:

Municipal Ports
Meanwhile, the group of islands in Batanes is isolated from the mainland’seconomic activities due to inefficient sea transport facilities. The Philippine Navy’sLanding Ship Tank (LST) calls on the island-province barely four times a year. Asidefrom this courtesy from the PN, two maritime vessels owned by the localcooperative in the province are providing transport for the Ivatans and theirgoods.
On the other hand, the island-municipality of Calayan depends onmotorized bancas as transport service to and from the coastal municipalities ofClaveria and Aparri in northwestern and northern Cagayan, respectively.Calayan is around 45 nautical miles north of Aparri has a land area (508.60 sq.km.) greater than Batanes (209.3 sq. km.)
B. COMMUNICATIONS
Communication services are increasingly becoming the majordeterminant to the regional economy and the private sector is expected to playa major role for its development.
Postal Services
Postal service is widely preferred as a means of transmitting mailsespecially in the less developed areas of the region. As of CY-2000, there are 102post offices and postal stations distributed among the 5 provinces of the region.Of these, 72 percent are located in the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela.
Based from the planning standard of one (1) post office per municipality,the region has adequate post offices/postal stations.
Telecommunications
Telephone
Telecommunications has achieved a significant headway along privatesector initiated expansions. As of CY-2002, three (3) local exchange carriers (e.g.,PLDT, DIGITEL, and ETPI) are operating in the region, having an aggregate of38,882 installed lines. The number of subscribers is 32,184 or 82.77 percent of thetotal installed lines (of 38,882).

Meanwhile, all municipalities are provided with facilities of theGovernment Emergency Telephone System (GETS) that is linked to Manila. Thisfacility, however, is for emergency use only and not generally accessible for useby the public. To fill in this development gap, the Municipal Telephone Program ofthe DOTC provided 42 municipalities not served by the existing exchange carrierswith public calling stations.
C. IRRIGATION AND OTHER FARM FACILITIES
Water Resources
Irrigation
The region’s water resources have a comparative advantage over theother regions of the country. Specifically, the Cagayan River Basin, with theCagayan River as the longest in the country, has the largest drainage area of27,300 square kilometers. Despite the region’s abundant water resourceshowever, its irrigation coverage merely stands at 46.54 percent or 219,988hectares out of 472,640 hectares of potential irrigable lands in the region as of CY2001.
National Irrigation Systems
