1/5

With good governance and anticorruption as the overarching theme of

each and every intervention, the Plan translates into specific goals,

objectives, strategies, programs and projects all the things that we want

to accomplish in the medium term.

With good governance and anti-corruption as overarching theme, the Plan

has three broad strategies. First is a high and sustained economic growth,

which provides productive and decent employment opportunities. The

second strategy is provision of equal access to development opportunities

across geographic areas and across different income and social spectrum,

which will ensure that economic growth and opportunities translate to

poverty reduction. Thirdly, the Plan will push for the implementation of

effective and responsive social safety nets in order to assist those who will

not be able to catch up by the character of a rapid economic growth.

THE PLAN HAS 10 CHAPTERS. Namely..

IN PURSUT OF INCLUSIVE GROWN

It is sustained growth that creates jobs, draws the majority into the

economic and social mainstream, and continuously reduces mass poverty.

This is an ideal which the country has perennially fallen short of, and thisfailure has had the most far-reaching consequences, from mass misery and

marginalization, to an overseas exodus of skill and talent, to political

disaffection and alienation, leading finally to threats to the constitution of

the state itself.

MACROECONOMIC POLICY

Productive employment and rising incomes for the vast majority over a long

period can do more to combat poverty decisively than any direct assistancegovernment can ever provide.

Governments responsibility however through fiscal and monetary policies

is to create an environment for vigorous economic activity, as well as to

ensure that enough gains from growth are set aside for larger social

purposes or channeled into social investments that facilitate future growth.

These objectives are achieved by government decisions regarding the size

and direction of public spending and taxation (fiscal policy) and by

decisions regarding the control of the nations money supply (monetary

policy)

COMPETITIVE INDUSTRY AND SERVICES SECTORS

The focus shall be to enable the industry and services sectors to contribute

to massive job generation, provide opportunities for Filipinos to rise above

poverty, and ultimately offer a meaningful choice for Filipinos to pursue

gainful employment here or abroad

Anchored on investments in human capital and implementation

characterized by a back to basics approach coupled with innovation and

whole of government as underlying principles

COMPETITIVE & SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE & FISHERIESSECTORS

It is itself a significant market for the products and services of the non

agricultural economy.


3/5

Rising productivity and efficiency in the sector are critical in maintaining the

affordability of food and purchasing power, especially among the poor. The

sectors development is therefore vital in achieving inclusive growth and

poverty reduction as well as attaining the targets under the MDGs.

ACCELERATING INFRASTRACTURE DEVELOPMENT

It will support the performance of the countrys economic sectors and

ensure equitable access to infrastructure services, especially as these

affect the peoples health, education, and housing.

Meaning this plan does not only improve infrastructures, buildings, houses,

etc.. but it also aims to protection of people.

TOWARDS A RESILIENT AND INCLUSIVE FINANCIAL SECTOR

The credibility and stability of financial institutions and the relative

attractiveness of various financial instruments to borrowers and lenders

alike determine how much saving will mobilized, how much it stays in the

country to be invested, and how this is to be allocated among the various

firms and industries.

GOOD GOVERNANCE & THE RULE OF LAW

It fosters participation, ensures transparency, demands accountability,

promotes efficiency, and upholds the rule of law in economic, political and

administrative institutions and processes. It is a hallmark of political

maturity but also a requisite for growth and poverty reduction, for there are

irreducible minimum levels of governance needed for large-scaleinvestment to occur and for social programs to be supported.

This chapter assesses the quality of governance in the country and

identifies key governance challenges that constrain development. It then

lays down corresponding strategies to achieve good governance anchored


4/5

on the rule of law, and provide an enabling environment for national

development.

SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT

The country is on track in pursuing the Millennium Development Goals

(MDGs) on poverty, gender and equality, child health, disease control and

sanitation. However, the country lags in achieving universal primary

education, improving maternal health, and combating HIV/AIDS.

Priority strategies include: (a) attaining the MDGs; (b) providing direct

conditional cash transfers (CCT) to the poor; (c) achieving universal

coverage in health and basic education; (d) adopting the community-driven

development (CDD) approach; (e) Converging social protection programs

for priority beneficiaries and target areas; (f) accelerating asset reform; (g)

mainstreaming climate change adaptation and disaster risk reduction in

social development; (h) mainstreaming gender and development; (i)

strengthening civil society basis; (j) adopting volunteerism; (k) developing

and enhancing competence of bureaucracy and institutions.

PEACE & SECURITY

The government shall exert all efforts to win peace and ensure national

security.

This shall be anchored on conflict prevention and peace-building , in

conflict-affected areas.


5/5

CONSERVATION, PROTECTION & REHABILITATION OF

ENVIRONMENTAL & NATURAL RESOURCES

Demands arising from development and utilization activities, population

expansion, poor environmental protection, and external factors such asclimate change, however, have placed the countrys environment and

natural resources under grave threat.

This vision will be pursued through an integrated and community-based

ecosystems approach to environment and natural resources management,

precautionary approach to environment and natural resources, sound

environmental impact assessment (EIA) and cost-benefit analysis (CBA).

These, then, are all anchored on the principles of shared responsibility,

good governance, participation, social and environmental justice,intergenerational space and gender equity, with people at the core of

conservation, protection and rehabilitation, and developmental initiatives.

The Bicol Regional Development Plan (2011-2016)It supports the

attainment of the nations Millennium Development Goals and the

Presidents social contract with the people.

The provision of basic services (education, health, nutrition, housing, and

social welfare) shall be prioritized to help the poor and vulnerable groups.

THE BOHOL Provincial Development & Physical Framework Plan

2010-2015

It contains the long-term vision of the province, and identifies development

goals, strategies, objectives/targets and corresponding PPAs which serve

as primary inputs to provincial investment programming and subsequent

budgeting and plan implementation.

TANKULAN BARAGANGAY DEVELOPMENT PLAN (2009-2014)

This will also result into peaceful communities if the people value the

importance of peace as a precondition to development.
