MARCELIANO M. ABAN, University of the Philippines at Los Banos, July 198i. Regional Planning in the Philippines and IAD Strategy Formulation in Central Visayas, Philippines. Major Professor: Dr. Aida R. Librero.
The Philippine experience in national planning and regional planning was reviewed from the time of the Commonwealth up to the 1970's. The pre-1972 national plans exhibited relevance in the development process but were short of legislative and administrative support. The post-1972 plans were adopted and used by the national government.
Regional planning began in 1961 with the creation of regional development authorities. Five of the 11 authorities created were fully organized. Upon the enactment of the Integrated Reorganization Plan in 1972, Regional Development Councils (RDCs) assumed the overall responsibility of coordination and development planning in the regions.
The RDC possess many legal mandates for coordination and planning the development of the regions. Strengthening the RDCs needs no additional laws but a stricter implementation of all Letters of Instruction and Implementation, Presidential Decrees, and Executive Orders that pertain to the RDCs.
The Five-Year Regional Development Plans established regional goals, objectives and strategies. Based on the regional and provincial strategies, strategies for sub-regional, sub-provincial Integrated Areas for Development (IADs) in Central Visayas were formulated in the industry, agriculture, social services and infrastructure sectors.
In Central Visayas, the overall regional strategy for development is industrialization. In the IAD strategy formulation, the spatial hierarchy of industrialization are: Metro Cebu, Dumaguete City, Tagbilaran City, Bogo Cebu), Toledo City, Danao City, Canlaon City, and Bantayan (Cebu).
In the primary sector, the IAD production areas for rice, corn, sugarcane, coconut, poultry, swine, goat, cattle, Carabao and horse were identified. Rice will be produced in Bohol, Negros Oriental and part of Cebu. Sugarcane will be produced in Negros Oriental and two IADs in Cebu. Coconut and corn are priority crops in 9 and 12 IADs,
respectively.
The delivery of social services placed emphasis to IADs with depressed and lagging areas, i.e., IADs with centers in Ubay (Bohol) Bayawan (Negros Oriental), Bais City, and Danao City. Three IADs registered satisfactory level of social services vis-a-vis the other IADs in the region.
In the infrastructure sector, paving of existing road network is priority in 10 IADs; construction of barangay roads, 13 IADs; construction of municipal road, 7 IADs and construction of provincial road, 9 IADs.
It was shown that IAD strategy formulation is an important step toward better program and projects identification, program packaging and prioritization at the IADs of Central Visayas. Further studies were also identified to enrich and validate the formulated IAD strategies.
