Urban planning context

Naic is a coastal municipality on Manila Bay, founded in 1869, with 160,987 residents (2020 Census) across 30 barangays and 75.81 km². Its position along Cavite's coastal corridor — within reach of Metro Manila via the CAVITEX/CALAX expressway network — has made it one of several Cavite towns absorbing rapid subdivision and residential development as growth pushes further south and west from the province's already-built-up north. That growth sits alongside Naic's older fishing and agricultural economy along the Manila Bay coastline, creating the standard Cavite-corridor planning tension: converting agricultural and fishing-community land to residential subdivisions faster than the CLUP process and local infrastructure (roads, drainage, water supply) can keep pace, while its coastal barangays remain exposed to Manila Bay's storm-surge and flood risk during typhoon season.
