Regional Development Agenda Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX)
Regional Development Agenda Zamboanga Peninsula (Region IX) With cautious optimism, Zamboanga Peninsula treads toward its most logical destination, that of evolving into a major player in the national economic arena. The region is eyeing at making a more significant contribution to the country’s GNP, having a bigger participation in the export market, and firming up stronger trade links with other regions and with the economies of Southeast Asia. Under the Strong Republic Nautical Highway, Dapitan City in Region IX is Mindanao’s closest gateway to Visayas and Luzon – 2 hours by fastcraft to Dumaguete City in Visayas, or 4 hours by roll-on-roll-off (RORO) ship. The region’s strategic location and its rich natural resources are indicative of its potentials in assuming a pivotal role in further strengthening Mindanao’s trade link with BIMP-EAGA, and other countries in the East and South, particularly the Muslim countries in the Middle East, the New Zealand and Australian Bloc, respectively. It is therefore the country’s Southern Gateway to the rest of the world. Its vast coastline of 1,330 kilometers and access to five (5) of the richest fishing grounds in the country – the Sulu Sea, Moro Gulf, Sindangan Bay, Pilas Channel, and Celebes Sea – and its diverse marine life and ecosystem, home to exotic and export- oriented marine resources, makes the region Mindanao’s Coastal Fishery Center. Over the next decade, the overall development agenda for the region entails a more serious investment on physical infrastructures and human capital, the first being aimed at forging greater physical and economic integration of the region’s cities and provinces with the rest of the country; the second, being geared at building people’s competencies and capabilities to face new market challenges, adapt to changes in technology, and contend with higher technical manpower demands of a growing economy.
