Preliminary Pages: Foreword All local government units are mandated by law, specifically the Local Government Code of 1991, to have a “comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan to be initiated by its development council and approved by its Sanggunian.” The CDP is a process participated by all sectors, not just those within the government but more importantly the civil society organizations and other stakeholders. The CDP outlines the challenges and opportunities being experienced by the municipality, and ways to respond to these. Moreover, it considers the long-term land use plan, the 2013-2016 Executive-Legislative Agenda, the national/regional/provincial development plans, the current situation, various projections and the aspects impacted by the various challenges and opportunities. The CDP likewise sets the direction for the municipality and spells out the different strategies that are further expressed into PPAs to attain the vision. These all become more significant as the municipality of Canaman is experiencing considerable growth, change and pressing development challenges. Like any area undergoing change, the municipality is facing a range of challenges which, if capitalized on, present great opportunities for Canaman. Guided by the vision statement: “Canaman: The Citadel of Bicol Culture; God loving, excellent in service, and a brilliant blend of development in a resilient environment”, this CDP represents the municipality’s effort to define Canaman’s way forward for the next three years. This future direction, as summarized by the vision, underscores the need to capitalize on a range of opportunities and strengths with a balanced rural and urban development in mind; the importance of culture; a strong bias for sustainable inclusive development; and the need to ensure that people, lives, livelihood and the built environment are resilient in the ever changing climate. Moreover, the Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) is integrated in this document. By definition, the LDIP is a multi-layer listing of programs and projects with cost estimates and sources of funds that will serve as a tool in implementing the comprehensive local development plan. Being formulated with full participation of all stakeholders, I am confident that this CDP and LDIP will enjoy a broad base of support needed for its success. Since planning is a repetitive cycle, it is also our agreement with all the stakeholders to undertake a regular review and updating of the plan to make it more responsive. All the people of Canaman, the partners and stakeholders of Canaman’s continuing progress and sustainable development are called upon to join in making this CDP-LDIP work. i Acknowledgement This CDP-LDIP was prepared through the Municipal Planning and Development Office, working closely with a Technical Working Group containing representatives of the Municipal Engineering Office, Municipal Mayor’s Office, Municipal Budget Office, Municipal Budget Office and the MLGO Office.
