Koronadal City, South
Cotabato –Local officials and
other LGU representatives
who were present during
the 54th
Meeting of Regional
Development Council (RDC)
XII on 22 June 2016 at
The Farm, Koronadal City,
after having been briefed
on AmBisyon Natin 2040,
committed to support the
realization of the long-term
vision in their respective
localities. They committed
to present it during their
forthcoming workshops
for the formulation of
their respective local
development plans, as well
as in the crafting of Executive
Legislative Agenda (ELA) of
their respective new set of
local leaders.
The briefing on AmBisyon
Natin 2040 was done by
NEDA Deputy Director-General for
Policy and Planning, Dr. Rosemarie G.
Edillon.
According to DDG Edillon, the
AmBisyon Natin 2040 reflects
the Filipino people’s sentiments,
aspirations and long-term vision for
themselves and for the country for
the next 25 years. It describes the
kind of life that Filipinos want to live,
as well as how the country will look
like by 2040.
“We know that development is
a long-term process. It takes
many years, even decades for a
country to reach a higher level of
development so as to significantly
raise living standards of people and,
subsequently, eradicate poverty,
as what our neighboring countries
like Singapore and Malaysia have
achieved,” DDG Edillon stated. “And
because of the current political
system in our country, government
planning has traditionally
been bound by the six-year
term of a presidency. This
has often led to discontinuity
of even good policies and
programs. Thus, stakeholders
have been clamoring for a
long-term development plan
that will ensure sustainability
and continuity of good
policies, programs and
projects beyond the term of
political administration”, she
added.
“The AmBisyon Natin 2040
is the vision that will serve
as the guide and anchor of
the country’s development
planning across at least four
administrations,” DDG Edillon
emphasized.
DDG Edillon also shared that
producing the AmBisyon
“The AmBisyon Natin 2040 is the vision that will serve as the
guide and anchor of the country’s development planning across
at least four administrations,” DDG Edillon emphasized.

Koronadal City, South
Cotabato – As provided for
under EO 325, the term of office
of the Chairman, Co-Chairman,
and the private sector
representatives to RDC XII
shall be three years, coinciding
with the regular term of local
elective officials. In consonance
with the said provisions, RDC
XII conducted its last meeting
for the term 2013-2016 on
June 22, 2016 at The Farm @
Carpenter Hill, Koronadal City.
In his opening message, RDC
XII Acting Chairperson and
NEDA XII Regional Director
Arturo G. Valero said: “This is
our last meeting for the current
term, 2013-2016. We will be
undertaking a reorganization
process next month starting
with the selection of the PSRs
for the term 2016-2019. I hope
by the next term, we would
have a presidential appointee
Chairperson for this Council.
For this current term, we
submitted two (2) nominees
each for Chairperson and Co-
Chairperson; however, the
President has not appointed a
Chair nor a Co-Chair. As this
term ends, we thank the PSRs
for their active involvement in
pursuing regional development.
We are proud to say that we
have done a lot and this will
be reported later as part of the
meeting agenda.”
Being its last meeting, RDC
XII recognized the significant
contributions of the PSRs to the
Council for the last three years
by awarding them with Plaques
Natin 2040 outputs
involved the conduct of
a series of nationwide
consultations through
focus group discussions,
which were participated
in by representatives
from various sectors (i.e.,
youth, fisherfolk, formal
workers, farmers, urban
poor, disaster survivors,
indigenous peoples, persons
with disabilities, families
of overseas workers, and
government workers);
the conduct of national
survey (with around 10,000
respondents aging 15-50
years old); and the writing
of evidence-based thematic
papers, and quantitative
projections, among others.
Based on the results of
nationwide consultations
and survey, DDG Edillon
further shared that the
vision of Filipinos for
themselves in 2040 could
be summed up into simply
having “a simple and
comfortable life.”
“For Filipinos, this kind of life is
described as having a medium-
sized home, having enough
earnings to support everyday
needs, owning at least one car/
vehicle, having the capacity to
provide their children college
education, and going on local
trips for vacation”, DDG Edillon
explained. “Hence, to make
our future development plans
(both national and local)
responsive and effective, they
must be anchored toward the
progressive realization of these
aspirations and dreams of
the Filipino people,” the DDG
concluded.
When asked on the likelihood
that the incoming Duterte
Administration will support
the AmBisyon Natin 2040, DDG
Edillon expressed her optimism
that the President-elect would
support it, considering that the
incoming Planning Secretary
Ernesto Pernia, having been
briefed about it recently, had
expressed positive response and
committed to support it.
Participants took their turns to question NEDA DDG Edillon after her presentation
of AmBisyon Nation 2040 during the 54th RDC XII Full Council Meeting on June
22, 2016 in Koronadal City.

meeting, the AmBisyon Natin
2040, which contains a long-
term vision for the Philippines
based on the aspirations, values
and principles of Filipinos, was

Edillon. After the presentation,

Valero, together with the

Appreciation to DDG Edillon

information on AmBisyon Natin
2040.
In preparation for the
reorganization process of the
Council, the guidelines for the
selection of PSRs for the term
2016-2019, as well as the
options for PSR allocation were
presented for deliberation. The
two options for PSR allocation

OCD XII Conducts RDANA Training
for the Fourth Batch
By: Helen L.. Vestal, NEDA XII-DRD
Koronadal City, South
Cotabato – A total of 37
participants from the member
agencies of the Regional
Disaster Risk Reduction
and Management Council
(RDDRRMC) XII and selected
personnel from the local
disaster risk reduction
and management councils
participated in a four-day
training on Rapid Damage
Assessment and Needs Analysis
(RDANA) on April 18-21, 2016
at Sun City Suites, General
Santos City.
The training was conducted
by the Office of Civil Defense
(OCD) XII as part of the agency’s
mandate, as provided for under
Republic Act No. 10121, “to
formulate standard operating
procedures for the deployment
of rapid assessment teams,
information sharing among
different government agencies,
and coordination before and
after disasters at all levels”
RDANA is a disaster response
tool that is used immediately
during the early and critical
onset of a disaster. In particular,
RDANA: a) aims to determine
the immediate relief and
response requirements, and
b) identifies the magnitude
of a disaster by focusing on
the general impact on the
society and the people’s coping
capacity.
It works by providing a quick
“snapshot” of the disaster
situation, as it determines the
type and extent of damages
brought about by a disaster,
including its secondary threats,
the critical needs of the affected
population, and the local
response capacities. It allows
the prescription of the priorities
for response and recovery
activities, and serves as a basis
for recommending the need
for international assistance, if
necessary.
The training aims to equip the
participants with knowledge
on: a) identifying processes
and principles used in RDANA;
b) coordinating mechanisms
between the actors involved in
the assessment; c) determining
the procedures involved before,
during and after RDANA
mission; d) providing skills
needed to assess information
on disaster-stricken sites;
and e) applying appropriate
assessment methods in a
simulated disaster impacted
site.
Aside from the interactive
lectures and discussion, the
participants were also subjected
to group and simulation
exercises during the course of
the training.

12. NRO XII Staff Trained on Writing Resolutions and
Other Legal Documents
Koronadal City, South
Cotabato - A one-day
training-workshop on writing
resolutions and other legal
documents was conducted on
April 20, 2016 and participated
in by the NEDA XII staff.
Director Jocelyn P. Reyes and
Atty. Roumella Alpasan-Base,
both from the NEDA Legal Staff,
were the resource persons.
The objective of the activity is
to hone the technical skills of

its job as the Secretariat of the
Regional Development Council
(RDC) XII.
Among others, Director Reyes
discussed the preparation of
documents like the agenda,
transcript, action memo,
minutes, resolutions, and
certification. “The development
of an agenda is the first step we
do in preparing for a meeting
where issues to be taken up
are indicated,” she said. She
emphasized that it is important
to inform the invitees about the
agenda as this will provide them
with a clear basic information
on issues/concerns that need
to be discussed and resolved
during the meeting.
Reyes also pointed out the
critical role of the Secretariat
in the conduct of meetings as
they provide technical and
administrative support to the
Chairperson.
In preparing resolutions, Reyes
advised to be always conscious
of the following, namely: (a)
the resolution title; (b) its
preamble; and (c) the operative
clause. She also provided some
tips in writing a resolution,
foremost of which is to make it
simple and concise but covers
the essential issues that need to
be resolved.
A discussion on the disclosure
policy of documents was
likewise covered. According to
Reyes, all available documents

should be listed and properly
labelled as either top secret,
secret, confidential, restricted,
open, and available.
Meanwhile, Atty. Base shared
her knowledge in preparing
and writing legal documents,
particularly the vital portion
of contracts. An open forum
followed to clarify some
concerns relative to documents
frequently prepared by the staff.
After the lectures, a workshop
on writing resolutions was
conducted which Director Reyes
collected for comments and
further enhancement.
The activity was concluded with
a simple closing program and
