Being the first medium-term development plan geared to the realization of AmBisyon Natin 2040 or the Filipino people’s collective aspiration for self and the country by 2040, the Philippine Development Plan (PDP) 2017-2022 has been instrumental in laying the necessary foundations for inclusive growth and sustainable development. Acknowledging that key to a growth that leaves no one behind regardless of one’s location, the PDP 2017-2022 is the first development plan to have a dedicated chapter on the National Spatial Strategy (NSS). The NSS banks on three core strategies: regional agglomeration; connectivity; and vulnerability reduction to ensure that all regions have access to basic services and to development opportunities. These strategies are likewise reflected in the Regional Development Plans (RDPs). These Plans highlight their respective region’s comparative advantage and identify possible areas of collaboration among neighboring regions. Three years into the Plan’s implementation, we have witnessed significant strides in regional development. Increasingly, big-ticket infrastructure projects covering various sectors are being distributed among the regions. Apart from improving connectivity in areas where these projects are located, these have likewise facilitated access to better services and created economic opportunities for private sector investors and individuals in terms of doing business and securing employment. Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 | vii These developments, coupled with an For the rest of the Plan period, NEDA enabling environment provided by the remains committed to pursuing more passage of key legislations in line with the meaningful reforms and programs for the priorities of the PDP 2017-2022 (i.e., people, while keeping regional development Universal Health Care Law, Universal at the center of our economic growth Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, strategy.

These key reforms and programs are just the To ensure the fruition of our efforts, once first steps needed in our journey towards again I urge the regions, through the RDCs, AmBisyon Natin 2040. Moving on to the last to continue to steer the course in the next few years of the Plan’s implementation three years to realize our goal of laying a period, the Regional Development Councils solid foundation for a stronger and more (RDCs) through the NEDA Regional Offices, resilient nation for future generations. in close coordination with government agencies and private sector representatives, assessed the gains and recalibrated the strategies to ensure that these are responsive to current and emerging challenges that the regions are facing. viii Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 Message In 2017, the RDC approved the CALABARZON Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-2022. After two years, we assessed our performance in the Region against the Plan targets to see how we are faring. Based on this assessment, the Plan was updated. The Updated RDP focuses on the priority strategies, programs, and projects that will ensure we will realize our targets and our vision. It is to be expected that changes have to be introduced to adopt to the requirements of the current and anticipated economic situations which understandably very much affected by the Taal Volcano eruption and the devastation brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic. I cannot over emphasize the importance of convergence and participatory governance in nation building. We, in the RDC, recognize the crucial roles of both public and private in setting the direction of regional development. The RDC calls for the harmonization of local development plans and the active participation and support of all stakeholders in the implementation of the Updated Plan through the formulation of policies, and proposing programs, projects and activities that are aligned with the Plan targets. With our Updated CALABARZON RDP 2017-2022 and the support of all stakeholders, we are now moving closer to building a secure, comfortable and strongly rooted life for the people of CALABARZON and a brighter and a more secure future for the generations to come. HERMILANDO I. MANDANAS RDC Chairperson Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 | ix x Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 Foreword As the Region continues to be at the forefront of economic development through its attractive investment opportunities, business-friendly environment, excellent industry sector performance, and rapidly increasing labor force, the challenge shifts to sustaining the Region’s positive performance and maximizing its gains. This will ensure that everyone benefits from the economic growth. The Updated Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-2022 highlights the relevant issues and concerns encountered during the first two years of the Plan implementation that may hinder the attainment of the Regional targets. Corresponding strategies, programs and projects that will address the identified issues and concerns make up the Plan. It has twenty-two chapters consisted of strategies focusing on enhancing the social fabric (Malasakit), reducing inequality (Pagbabago), and increasing growth potential (Patuloy na Pag-unlad) and included a new chapter on ensuring safe and orderly migration. This RDP is anchored on the country’s long term vision, the AmBisyon Natin 2040, which visualizes the Philippines to be a “prosperous, predominantly middle-class society where no one is poor” by 2040. It is likewise aligned with the Updated Philippine Development Plan (PDP) which operationalizes the current administration’s 0 to 10 Socioeconomic Agenda. The Regional Development Council, with its several planning committees, spearheaded the formulation of the Updated RDP through a series of consultative workshops. These were participated by representatives from the various sectors of society to guarantee the inclusivity of the Plan and its responsiveness to the needs and demands in the Region. Thus, the Plan is not Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 | xi only made for the people but is created by assessed by monitoring and evaluation of the people.

Major development partners in the Philippines transport sector are the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Government of Australia, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), the United Kingdom, and the World Bank (Table 1). The Republic of Korea (ROK) and the People’s Republic of China (PRC) have also supported the country with transport infrastructure. Before its 2008 merger with JICA, the Japan Bank for International Cooperation provided substantial support for the transport sector. The development partners are united in supporting the national spatial strategy of the Philippine Development Plan (PDP), 2017–2022.1 ADB focuses on supporting the road and rail subsectors, and plays a supporting role in addressing governance, institutional capacity, and the low productivity of transport agencies. In addition to supporting the road subsector, ADB has extended assistance, together with JICA, for rail subsector projects. In the rail subsector, ADB and JICA will cofinance a series of projects that will eventually create investment opportunities for other cofinanciers, including private sector investors.

What made this important milestone more meaningful was the fact that we managed to deliver and perform in accordance with our mandate in the midst of extraordinary and unprecedented adversities that none of us have ever experienced. They undoubtedly tested our capacity and limits but we left an imprint of what the Department and its personnel are all about: Matino, Mahusay at Maaasahan sa anumang panahon at anumang pagsubok. Early this January, the country has experienced the eruption of Taal Volcano that left a trail of destruction in its path and affected the lives of thousands of families living in the CALABARZON region as they lost their homes and livelihoods to volcanic debris. This was followed by the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19) that struck the country and presented enormous challenges to our health systems and caused widespread shutdowns, school and business closures and job losses.

Regarding river floods, after the Mangahan Floodway was completed in 1988, JICA had implemented the “Study on Flood Control and Drainage Projects in Metro Manila” (1988 to 1991), and the “Pasig-Marikina River Channel Improvement Project” (the Project) was selected as a highly urgent project to implement flood management measures in the Pasig-Marikina River.

    03 DECEMBER 2020, THURSDAY Headline STRATEGIC December 03, 2020 COMMUNICATION & Editorial Date INITIATIVES Column SERVICE 1 of 1 Opinion Page Feature Article DENR to plant bamboo trees along Cagayan River banks to mitigate flooding in nearby communities Published December 2, 2020, 12:58 PM by Ellalyn De Vera-Ruiz The Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) is set to plant bamboo trees along the banks of the Cagayan River to help mitigate flooding in communities that were submerged during the onslaught of typhoon Ulysses. (DENR / MANILA BULLETIN) DENR Secretary Roy Cimatu issued the directive during a meeting of the Build Back Better Task Force (BBBTF) last Nov. 27. Cimatu ordered the DENR regional offices in Cagayan Valley, Central Luzon, and CALABARZON to ensure the availability of bamboo planting materials. He also directed the regional offices to immediately start identifying areas along the river channels that are most suitable for bamboo propagation under the government’s Enhanced National Greening Program. “The survival rate of bamboo is much higher and it has a faster growth rate compared to other trees,” Cimatu pointed out. He also cited bamboo’s potential to be “a sustainable source of livelihood for the people of Cagayan Valley while protecting the integrity of Cagayan River.” Cimatu earlier noted that bamboo is one of the fastest growing renewable resources in the world and is a sustainable alternative to wood. It is also an effective climate change solution. Bamboo is valued for its ecological benefits as it absorbs greenhouse gases, insulates carbon dioxide from the environment, and produces 35 percent more oxygen than its equivalent tree size.
