  • Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030
    Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan 2005—2030 Regional Development Council 02 Tuguegarao City Message The adoption of the Cagayan Riverine Zone Development Framework Plan (CRZDFP) 2005-2030, is a step closer to our desire to harmonize and sustainably maximize the multiple uses of the Cagayan River as identified in the Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) 2005-2030. A greater challenge is the implementation of the document which requires a deeper commitment in the preservation of the integrity of our environment while allowing the development of the River and its environs. The formulation of the document involved the wide participation of concerned agencies and with extensive consultation the local government units and the civil society, prior to its adoption and approval by the Regional Development Council. The inputs and proposals from the consultations have enriched this document as our convergence framework for the sustainable development of the Cagayan Riverine Zone. The document will provide the policy framework to synchronize efforts in addressing issues and problems to accelerate the sustainable development in the Riverine Zone and realize its full development potential. The Plan should also provide the overall direction for programs and projects in the Development Plans of the Provinces, Cities and Municipalities in the region. Let us therefore, purposively use this Plan to guide the utilization and management of water and land resources along the Cagayan River. I appreciate the importance of crafting a good plan and give higher degree of credence to ensuring its successful implementation. This is the greatest challenge for the Local Government Units and to other stakeholders of the Cagayan River’s development.

The government will start dredging the river as an initial step to solve flooding in Cagayan Valley region. —DAVID TE/CONTRIBUTOR Environment Secretary Roy Cimatu has given the green light to dredge several sandbars along Cagayan River in a bid to widen the country’s longest river after the widespread flooding caused by Typhoon “Ulysses” (international name: Vamco) in Cagayan and Isabela provinces last month. The Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) identified 19 priority sites where sandbars could be cleared in last week’s meeting of the Build Back Better Task Force, which was tasked with streamlining the government’s posttyphoon rehabilitation efforts. ‘Obstructions’ “Removing these obstructions is the most immediate measure that should be undertaken in order to avoid a repeat of massive flooding in the region, particularly the provinces of Cagayan and Isabela,” Cimatu said in a statement. The dredging operations will immediately improve water flow along the river while the government explores other medium- and long-term solutions for the flooding in Cagayan Valley, he said.A sandbar is a ridge or deposit of sand that is formed along the shore of the river through currents or waves.
