RDC TO UPDATE REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN
2004 - 2010

The Bicol Medium-Term Regional Development Plan (MTRDP) 2004-2010 will be assessed on the second quarter this year to formulate additional alternative courses of action and to achieve plan targets taking into account the following emerging concerns and developments:

  • the creation of super regions;

  • the destruction caused by Typhoons Milenyo, Reming, and Seniang; and

  • the priorities laid down by the administration in the next three years.

The updated regional plan shall be directed towards achieving the President's 10-Point Agenda by 2010 and with focus on the following:
 
  • ensuring adequate and affordable food supply;
  • providing health care and quality education for the youth;
  • reducing power cost;
  • modernizing infrastructure; and
  • mobilizing, upgrading, and disseminating technologies for productivity.

The updated plan shall give priority to the rehabilitation of the region's infrastructure facilities and establishment of a disaster management system consistent with the Regional Physical Framework Plan.

It shall also pursue development of tourism and implementation of tourism infrastructure projects consistent with the role of Central Philippines in national development.

The plan updating process will commence in April and the draft updated plan will be presented to the six provinces and to the RDC in December for approval.

The plan updating process will involve the RDC sectoral committees and other inter-agency committees under the RDC.
