Nasugbu

Nasugbu is a 1st class municipality in the province of Batangas, Philippines. According to the 2000 census, it has a population of 96,113 people in 19,615 households.

Several bus services provide transportation to and from Nasugbu. Jeepneys from Tagaytay City also enter and leave the town at a scheduled time. Within the town, tricycles are the main mode of transport.

The local government is pushing for the cityhood of the town, which would pave way to make it more industrialised and developed.

On September 2, 2007, Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo declared Nasugbu, famous for its white sand beach resorts, a special tourism zone. Executive Order 647 dated August 3 mandated the formation of a private sector-led "Nasugbu eminent persons group" to oversee the development of the Nasugbu Special Tourism Zone which will cover the areas included in the Nasugbu Tourism Development Plan prepared by the municipal government and validated by the Philippine Tourism Authority (PTA). SM Investments Corp. (SIC) plans to construct a 59 km² resort, the Hamilo Coast at the NSTZ. Within the property is Mt. Pico de Loro, a national park. SIC will also establish a ferry service from the Manila Bay terminal of the SM Central Business Park in the Mall of Asia to Hamilo Coast, due to be operational by 2008.
