Pinamalayan is located at the east of Oriental Mindoro. It is about 108 kilometers away
from Puerto Galera, the northernmost town of the province; 71 kilometers from Calapan City,
the provincial capital and major entry point connecting to mainland Luzon; approximately 69
kilometers from the town of Roxas; and around 110 kilometers from Bulalacao, the gateway to
the Visayas Region. The town of Pinamalayan is bounded in the north by the municipalities of
Socorro and Pola, in the west by the province of Occidental Mindoro, in the south by the town of
Gloria, and in the east by Tablas Strait. The Tablas Strait separates Pinamalayan from the
island province of Marinduque and the island-towns of Concepcion and Banton in Romblon.

town of Occidental Mindoro, and only 1 hour away from Calapan City. It is also connected to
Marinduque and Romblon via sea transport and to Western Visayas via sea and land transport
thru the SRNH. Direct linkage to Puerto Princesa, Palawan is always possible because of the
existing airport facility. The existing inter-regional transport facilities brought advantage to the
municipality. Accessibility is a catalyst to economic development especially to business
community. Travel time, safety, and convenient transport system plays important role in the
economic interchange and mobility of the people. Establishing alternate route for light vehicles
and construction of centralized transport terminal improved the traffic situation in many urban
and urbanizing municipalities. The same is expected in the locality specifically transport system
connecting the existing airport to the central business district and adjacent municipality.
The purpose of this study is to provide an integrated transit hub that will ease traffic
congestion by utilizing the PUVs to enter within the poblacion.
This facility can also increase local income due to return of investments from dispatched
vehicles as well as business establishments to be located within and in the periphery of the
terminal. It helps to promote local products and delicacies and also increase the tourism of the
municipality of Pinamalyan.
It strengthens the claim of Pinamalayan of being a central trading hub.
The project will focus on the design and development of a transportation terminal, parks,
open spaces and other facilities/amenities within the site constraint. Covering a total land area
of 5 hectares, the said project is a Centralized Transportation Terminal of Pinamalayan.
The proposal assumes to be the central gateway of the people in Pinamalayan and
neighboring municipalities. A development which provide safe and healthy environment with
personal and safety considerations integral to planning and design of circulation, elements,
buildings and open spaces, providing efficient site circulation pedestrian movements and
vehicular access.
PITx serves as a hub for buses, jeepneys, and other public utility vehicles headed for
areas south of Metro Manila, including the provinces of Cavite and Batangas, and vice versa. It
is projected to accommodate around 200,000 passengers. The terminal is also planned to
connect with the Asia World station of the proposed Line 1 Cavite extension. Commuting will be
made easy, safe, and convenient. The departure area will boast of 36 bus bays leaving at 15
minute intervals, while the arrival area will hold 23 bus bays. SWITS is expected to service over
34 million passengers per annum.
This modern and sophisticated transport infrastructure will also be a home to BPO
offices, and will offer various retail, dining and shopping options.

Pinamalayan is the only municipality in Oriental Mindoro with direct linkage to the
province of Marinduque, Romblon, Coron, Busuanga, and Manila. It is also easily accessible to
the urban centers in Mindoro namely Calapan City, Puerto Galera, Roxas, and San Jose. The
possibility of connecting Pinamalayan airport to Puerto Princesa is always open. Because of its
strategic location, the municipality also evolves as a commercial and educational center of the
province’s central district
Compared with other municipalities within the province, Pinamalayan has vibrant and
diverse economic structure. A record from Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) shows that the
municipality is not largely dependent in agriculture. Secondary and tertiary services prosper in
the locality contributing 11-15 million pesos to locally regenerated revenue growing
approximately 4 percent per year. Data also shows increase in employment in wholesale and
retail trading activities
Generally, trainings intended for local farmers focused on productivity enhancement and
management. However, looking at the agricultural processes, key areas of concerns are
practically attached to production, harvesting, and marketing. In the situation analysis,
marketing system of farm products is significantly influenced by the middlemen. More often they
took advantage of the financial incapacity of the local farmers. To break the ties between the
farmers and the middlemen, the LGU will reinforce farmer-retailer/wholesaler direct marketing
system thru extension and promotion of local food terminal. The development target is not only
to upgrade the existing facility but to connect the same to other operating food terminals in the
region or even in the whole country if possible. This also intends to increase net profit of
individual farmers, hence, increase financial capacity.

them very little compared to the ‘real’ price of the products and keep all the profits.

farmers in the absence of middleman, so they helping this farmer to sell their product easily and
by eliminating the middleman so that the consumer can access to cheaper commodities/price of
products.
