Chapter 1- Quick Facts about Sorsogon City
- With the coming of the Spanish colonizers in the 1600s, Bacon was organized into a visita of the town of Casiguran, one of the oldest settlements in Luzon.

CHAPTER 3 - Comprehensive Development Plan
As a newly created local government unit in 2000 and in line with the strategic planning process, a vision was crafted by various stakeholders representing multi-sectoral group. Phrases such as “people centered governance”, empowered citizenry and “living in harmony with nature” reflected the people’s aspiration then. Revisiting the vision seventeen years after the city’s creation, the reformulated vision for a livable, competitive, inclusive, resilient and sustainable society and governance is being envisioned.
Two years after, the vision was revisited again and analyzed for its relevance to the current issues and challenges that the city is facing and its importance to the aspirations and dreams of every Sorsoganon living in the City of Sorsogon.
The new vision of the City of Sorsogon is:
“A progressive and dignified City of Choice with a healthy, empowered, values-oriented and resilient Sorsoganons in a livable, competitive and sustainable environment under a participatory, transparent and humane governance.”

SECTORAL DEVELOPMENT PLANS
Social Development sector is concerned with changes in the area or community relative to the social characteristics of the area’s population and the overall quality of life. This sector deals with the issues and concerns relative to the well-being of the local constituency and upgrading the quality of social services such as education, health, welfare, protective services, housing, and sports & recreation.
The physical availability of social services does not automatically mean that the constituents are properly served. Some social services are not free and therefore access is determined by affordability. It is the income of the household which determines the ability of the individual or family to procure the goods and services they need. It is therefore the concern of the social sector to guarantee access to social services by the target population either by providing adequate social services or by removing the different types of barriers to access to these facilities and services
Observed Conditions | Implication |

Economic Development Plan
Sorsogon City is the commercial, administrative and education center of the province of Sorsogon and a hub of trade and commerce. Its strategic location has given rise to a busy commercial district composed of local businesses and franchises of national and regional business chains. However, only around five percent of the City is dedicated for urban use, while the majority is allocated for agricultural purposes.
Agriculture remains a primary economic activity in the City with rice, coconut and abaca as the major crops. Pili is the most popular crop in the entire province of Sorsogon, as it accounts for 70 percent of production. With the creation of the Sorsogon Provincial Pili Industry Development Council, commercial production needs of this product have been take in hand such as the establishment of commercial farm nurseries, plantation, processing plants and marketing networks, while Sorsogon City is mulling over the promotion of pili as a high-value commercial crop alongside pineapple, coffee and cacao.
The City is also a fish landing center and its inland waters yield various marine resources. Fishponds and fish pens similarly add to the City’s marine output. Small scale processing plants produce semi-processed seafood for export. Sugod Bay in the Pacific Ocean shows a big potential for Mariculture Park Development which will provide bigger fish yield, better employment opportunities, and investment possibilities.
The City has ports located at Bacon District (Poblacion), Banao and Cambulaga, West District as fish ports for local while the port located at Barangay Talisay, West District is classified as municipal ports that service incoming cargoes from Manila and Cebu. These ports are also used by motorized bancas ferrying passengers and goods to and from neighboring towns but no regular trips and routes have been developed.
Sorsogon City is a host city to Geothermal Plant. It has been successfully exploited in the northern part of the City from wells drilled and built up by Energy Development Corporation (EDC), a privately-owned corporation. The National Power Corporation is operating three power plants connected to the Luzon grid. But despite its presence, the power cost in the city remains high. Thus, the challenge is how to translate the benefits derived from the resources to lower power costs for the people and investors as well.
There are also other minerals like sulfur, marble, limestone, white clay, guano phospatic rock, pumice, gravel and sand that likewise can be extracted for commercial purposes.
On tourism, the City has yet to develop its full potential as an attractive tourist haven, despite existing tourist facilities, like hotels, restaurants and souvenir shops and interesting sites like the world’s biggest bats, hot springs, white beaches, lakes, caves, and historical structures and cultural activities.
