in Laguna on 13 July 2011. The meeting

The Regional
Development Council (RDC) serves as the
regional machinery to coordinate the
national and local government activities in
formulating and implementing development
plans and programs in CALABARZON underlying
the Laguna de Bay Region.
Projects of
different agencies for update and
endorsement have been part of the agenda.
LLDA presented the LISCOP updates and the
Spatial Development Masterplan for Laguna de
Bay Basin.
With the
presentation of the Masterplan, LLDA has
divulged the core issues and strategic
interventions through infrastructure such as
sabo dams, spillway for floodcontrol, and
wastewater facilities, among others.
Non-infrastructure support has also been
established like the creation of sub-WQMA,
IEC on waste management, capacity building
on DRR and institutional partnership
development. The committee agreed to
harmonize the CALABARZON Development Plan
and the LdB Basin Masterplan. These
interventions will be carried out by the
LLDA with the funding support from public
and private sectors and various
stakeholders.
The meeting
served as the venue to raise and discuss
local and regional issues relevant in the
Spatial Plan of Laguna de Bay Region.

IV-A), Department of Science and Technology
(DOST IV-A), Department of Education (DepEd),
