The conference, which is a continuing venue for advocacy, was a challenge for the CBMS in the Philippines to look into possibilities of its assuming new roles such as the localization of the Millennium Development Goals, evidence-based legislation, scaling- up, gender responsive budgeting, and other new initiatives in view of recent developments. The conference brought together more than 150 participants composed of policymakers, program implementers and other CBMS practitioners at the local and national levels to share recent developments in the implementation and use of the CBMS for planning, program design and impact monitoring, among others. It was also a showcase of how the number of CBMS-implementing LGUs has increased at a fast rate. In the first conference in 2002, Palawan was then the only LGU that was implementing CBMS. In the 2004 conference, 7 municipalities in Camarines Norte, the province of Bulacan, Pasay City in Metro Manila and Mandaue City in Cebu joined Palawan in implementing the CBMS in their respective localities. This third conference featured the provinces of Agusan del Sur and Marinduque, selected municipalities from the 4 provinces of the Eastern Visayas Region and the Science City of Muñoz as the new CBMS sites. The conference program was divided into 12 sessions and adopted an interactive format enabling participants (invited speakers, presenters, discussants and attendees) to exchange ideas and build knowledge together as the conference progressed. The sessions were as follows: xi Session 1: CBMS Amidst Changing Demands for Policymaking, Program Design and Impact Monitoring Session 2: Evidence-Based Legislation Session 3: Raising Awareness and Accelerating Initiatives of LGUs to Achieve the MDG Targets Session 4: Financing Poverty Reduction Session 5: CBMS-Based Local Development Planning Session 6: Enhancing the LGUs’ Performance of their Key Functions Session 7: Mobilizing Resources for CBMS Session 8: National Repository of CBMS Database Session 9: Facilitating Gender-Responsive Budgets through the CBMS Session 10: CBMS-Based Poverty Mapping Session 11: Subaybay Bata Monitoring System Session 12: Scaling Up of CBMS Implementation Among the principal guest speakers were Secretary Angelo Reyes of the Department of Interior and Local Government and Secretary Datu Zamzamin Ampatuan of the National Anti-Poverty Commission. Local chief executives who presented the CBMS results in their localities and the actual and potential uses of the CBMS were: Governor Adolph Edward Plaza of Agusan del Sur; Governor Carmencita Reyes of Marinduque; Vice-Governor Ma. Mimietta Bagulaya of Leyte; Mayor Emmanuel Dairo of Veruela, Agusan del Sur; Mayor George Erroba of San Julian, Eastern Samar; Mayor Hilario Caadan of Tolosa, Leyte; Mayor Arnelito Garing of Cabugcayan, Biliran; and Mayor Wenceslao “Peewee” Trinidad of Pasay City. Other presentors included officials and planners from CBMS sites: Agusan del Sur, Bulacan, Camarines Norte, Marinduque, Palawan, Muñoz City, Mandaue City, and Pasay City.
