World Outlook in Local Action
In compliance with the principles of 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, the Municipal Government of Rosario, Batangas formulated the Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 And Beyond Human and Ecological Security Plan[2] by virtue of Executive Order No. 98-02 dated October 5, 1998 by then Mayor Rodolfo Guerra Villar.
The plan pursued a sustainable development approach to poverty reduction efforts balanced with concerns for ecological security. This required an active collaboration among the municipal and barangay government units, non-governmental and people's organizations, and the local community.
To further institutionalize the Aksyon ng Bayan Rosario 2001 And Beyond framework and integrate its principles in local development plans, the CLUP was prepared by the Municipal Land Use Committee and the Office of the Municipal Planning and Development Coordinator, with technical assistance from the Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB). In 2000, the CLUP and its accompanying Zoning Ordinance (ZO) was approved with immediate effect.[3]

Clusters
For purposes of community organizing and effective delivery of social development projects, the Office for Sustainable Development under supervision of the Office of the Municipal Mayor in 1995, conveniently divided the 48 barangays into 8 barangay clusters with 6 member barangays each.[5]
Cluster Barangays South East I Antipolo, Calantas, Leviste, Matamis, Palakpak, Tulos North East II Macalamcam B, Nasi, Pinagsibaan, Putingkahoy, Salao, San Isidro East III Bayawang, Bulihan, Cahigam, Lumbangan, Mabunga, Mayuro East IV Alupay, Balibago, Mabato, Macalamcam A, Maligaya, Natu Central V Bagong Pook, Baybayin, Mavalor, San Carlos, San Jose, Tiquiwan West Central VI Poblacion D, Poblacion E, Itlugan, Maalas-as, Namuco, Namunga East Central VII Poblacion A, Poblacion B, Poblacion C, Quilib, San Roque, Sta. Cruz West VIII Colongan, Malaya, Marilag, Masaya, San Ignacio, Timbugan This system was patterned after the resolutions traditionally passed by the Sangguniang Bayan as part of its organizational plan following the general elections when new members are elected into office for a new term.
Consequently, the barangay cluster arrangement was adopted and served as the framework for land use development strategies enunciated under the Comprehensive Land Use Plan of Rosario, Batangas for Planning Period 2000-2010 (CLUP).[6]
