Good evening everyone! Just a recap what has been discussed last time.

Step. 1 Discusses about getting organize where to assemble the personnel, resources
and support needed for the planning process.
Step 2. Identify Stakeholders. Stakeholders is any person, group or institution that has
an interest in a development activity, project or program. Can be divided in to two
primary stakeholders are those ultimately affected and secondary are those who are
indirectly affected by the impacts of the CLUP but may have a particular knowledge
and/or significant roles related to its formulation, implementation, and/or evaluation.
Step 3. Setting the Vision. That serve as the driving force that will move the entire
city/municipality towards the achievement of a common development direction and also
guide the succeeding stages of the planning process.
Step 4. Analyze the Situation. Here you have to identify the problems, opportunities,
future development requirements, and spatial demands of the city or municipality.
Step. 5 Set the Goals and Objectives. Since we already had the vision and also, we
already analyze the situation in formulating the goals and objectives must help to
achieve the vision. So, we have to define first what is a goal and objective.
A Goal is a broad statement of desired outcome in the medium or long term.
So goals are general statements of what needs to be accomplished to implement a
strategy. Here it aims to address a general problem situation of a municipality/city as
derived from the situation analysis.
Objectives are more specific statements of short-range desired out comes or results
towards which development activities in the municipality/city are directed.
Objectives provide specific milestones with a specific timeline for achieving a goal
So here are the steps
Step. 1. Review the vision statement and the major problems and opportunities
identified in the situation analysis
As what I mentioned earlier the foundation of goals and objectives is the result of Step 4
which is the Analyze the Situation and the Vision provides a direction for your goals
while objectives define your goals.
Step. 2 Formulate the general goals & objectives
In formulating a goal, it has to translate the municipal/city vision statement into a more
realistic term. Diba When a goal is realistic, it is more likely that you will complete the
goal.
For the objective. It must be a SMART objective. SMART means SPECIFIC,
MEASURABLE, ATTAINABLE, REALISTIC and TIME BOUND.
SPECIFIC means here is about in terms of place
Measurable, preferably in performance terms-what is achieved rather than how to
achieve it.
• Attainable. Objectives must be attainable, otherwise, it will backfire and create failure.
• Realistic. It is important that the support of the key stakeholders should be obtained,
thus, objective setting should be participatory.
• Time-bound. It is critical that objectives have a meaningful timeframe. The timeframe
should be linked to political and social realities as well as to physical development
aspects.

STEP. 3 5.3. Identify the key outcome and output indicators


The meaning of outcome here are the results or changes anticipated from a regional or
local government level of development. An outcome might be a collection of outputs,
interventions, or actions taken in a specific sector or by an LGU or NGA. Like for
example Clean air is an outcome arising from reduction of smoke-belching vehicles,
increased greenery in an urban area, repair of dilapidated roads, etc.
While the meaning of output those are directly delivered and provided by the LGU or
local agencies such as products, services or it can be also a facility. They are the
results of an action that you 'put out'. Outputs are not the benefits or improvements that
occur in a community or an LGU, but rather the interventions that are implemented so
that communities or individuals within that community can reach a desired outcome or
objective.
This is the sample of out and input indicator
Step 5.4 Validate and adopt the identified Development goals, objectives & key
outcomes at the city/ municipal & community level
This stage can be incorporated or developed into the overall identification process as
part of Steps 5.2 and 5.3.

Step 6 is the half way point of the CLUP Process. Where the LGU should ESTABLISH
DEVELOPMENT THRUST & SPATIAL STRATEGIES. Here in this step is to translate
goals and objectives identified in Step 5 into a physical form towards formulating the
land use plan
What are the activities and expected outputs in this STEP.
Step 1. READ THE SLIDE
So the meaning of thrust here is the principal purpose or theme of a course of action or
line of reasoning.
The identification of development thrusts is the result of the CLUP's vision and
objectives. This translation reflects and examines the physical, environmental,
biological, economic, social, cultural, and institutional circumstances, assets, and
qualities existent in the location where the LGU want to anchor the fulfillment of their
intended visions and goals. For example, a highly agricultural or underdeveloped rural
community like Tagum City would want to pursue its vision of economic development by
pushing for “agro-industrial development” as its thrust. Or in the case of a coastal LGU
such as Malay or Siargao with undeveloped coastal resources and beaches into a ‘eco-
tourism” center and push for “tourism development” as it thrust. Based on this
development thrust, the LGU would then try to align and rationalize the use of its
resources, both natural and human, to support this development thrust or option.
To generate and evaluate options for the strategic development thrust it will be done
thru a workshop where you gather you presentation like the possible development
options can a municipality/city adopt, brainstorming with the result of Step 3, 4 and 5.
Then reach consensus on the development thrust to be pursued within the planning
period. The use of common or known terms that will best describe
the development thrust is encouraged particularly when adapting a combined
development thrust. The following are some examples:
– Agri-industrialization
– Ecotourism
– Agri-ecotourism
– Industrialization
– Intensified Agricultural Development
Step 6.2 READ THE SLIDE
A strategy is a logically consistent set of individual actions, combined to create a
comprehensive plan or policy response. So diba in Step 6.1 there’s a workshop to be
done in order to generate ideas. Use the output in that activity and prepare at least 3
three possible development strategies to pursue the identified development thrust.
The following are sample development strategies corresponding to some development
thrusts. READ THE SLIDE

6.3. Evaluate and select the preferred development thrust


Since we prepare 3 possible development strategies/options you must evaluate it using
appropriate evaluation and analytical techniques. There must be an agreement among
the key stakeholders and decision-makers on the primary evaluation tool that will be
used for this process.
The following evaluation tools are recommended in the selection of preferred
development thrust and spatial strategy:
 Social Cost-Benefit Analysis (SCBA) (Annex 6-2)
Social-Cost Benefit Analysis (SCBA) is a comprehensive approach for appraising
the
social worth of the options/alternatives or programs/projects which entail
commitment
of resources. This analysis is mainly concerned with the strategy’s effects on the
welfare of the
community rather than on any smaller group within it. The benefits and costs of
the alternative development strategies are identified and measured based on the
references of individuals, who are affected. The results would show the
appropriate Alternative Spatial Strategy according to the stakeholders. This
would guide the local planners and decision-makers in discerning the most
acceptable spatial strategy to be employed in order to achieve the LGU’s goals
and objectives.
• Goals Achievement Matrix (GAM) (Annex 6-3)
Goal-Achievement Analysis is conducted to determine the extent to which
alternative development proposals will achieve a pre-determined set of “goals” or
“objectives. Parang survey form ni sya and the total score has its own rating
scale and corresponding indication.

• Other innovative evaluation criteria/techniques as may be agreed upon


6.4. Prepare the Structure Plan based on the
Spatial Strategies.
The structure plan shall be presented in a map that depicts the envisioned
development concept or the visual outline or shape of the overall physical and
development framework of the city/municipality

In a structure plan it shall contain the following:


 General location of areas such as for conservation/protection. When we say
conservation/protection these are private lands, public lands and waters that are
set aside for conservation, preservation, and rehabilitation because of their long-
term strategic benefit and because of the observed and projected impact of
climate related events and disasters to these areas such as forest areas, critical
watersheds, historical/cultural sites and many more.

 Another is general location of development areas such as for agriculture, tourism,


industry and ago forestry

 Next Location of buffers surrounding or bordering areas under


protection/production and development areas. The word buffer means
safeguard, shield, defense, shock absorber, holding area and storage area. They
serve as a layer (either in land or water form) to separate protection, production,
and development areas. These are example of buffer
- Agriculture/Timberland Buffer Areas (Residential Planned Development with
Open Space Buffer) As you can observed in the picture buffer serve as a
protection to both areas right. An agricultural buffer area can safeguard
people and other life forms from the toxic effects of chemicals that are applied
in an agricultural area. And at the same time, they serve to minimize
disturbance and population intrusion to agricultural or timberland operations.
In a buffer area you are allowed naman to the buffer areas but with
limitations. It should be simple and non-machinery activities. If you build a
structure it should be light materials, single storey and non-permanent.

- Next Industrial Buffer Areas


These buffer areas are required to separate residential land uses from
designated Business Park/Industrial areas where noise from vehicles and
equipment, the use of hazardous materials in manufacturing processes, truck
traffic, and otherwise heavy traffic volumes would be incompatible with nearby
residential uses. Generally, recommended widths for industrial/residential buffers
are a minimum of 100m. However, this may be reduced to not less than 50m if
the buffer includes features like screening walls, landscaped berms, and/or
dense landscaping, with guarantees of proper, ongoing landscaping
maintenance. Commonly allowed uses are commercial and office

• Areas for climate resiliency adaptation measures or projects;


• General location of proposed major infrastructure projects;
• Overall direction of urban expansion;
• Proposed circulation system that shows the linkage among the identified
development areas within the municipality/city, linkage of the municipality/city
with the other municipalities/cities, province and region; and
• Targeted growth areas/nodes for production purposes or with specific
development role.
So, I have an example here. This is the zoning map of City of Davao. As you can
observe in this map there’s a different color each color has its own coding and you can
identify it in this section what does it mean. So, this is call the legend section. The map
that illustrates the envisioned development idea or the visual outline or shape of the
city's/overall municipality's physical and development framework.
Next Step 7. Prepare the Land use plan
In this step all of the preparatory activities for step 1 to step 6 are encapsulated into a
map that shows the proposed allocation of land suppl that matches the land demand.
Why this step is so important? Land uses can be allocated rationally. Evidenced based
land use planning can be done if the step 6 of the land use planning process influence
Step 7 appropriately.
In this step also, we translated the vision and approved in Step 3. The goals and
objectives identified is Step 5 through the situational analysis in Step 4 and the
development thrust and special strategies to be pursued as identified in Step 6 into land
use plan that matches existing and future demand for land with existing and available
supply.
Here are the activities in Step 7
First read the SLIDE 7.1 That’s why it is important that an inventory of land
requirements be identifies per sector and as comprehensive local government. Review
and match the lands available for development (meaning as a supply) and the
quantified requirements (the demands) obtained from sectoral studies, present and
future population, vision and development thrust, and market analysis.

So, this is the figure in balancing the land supply and demand. This is the land use
category such as residential, industrial, commercial and so on. This category has its
vision, needs and wants, its land requirement so meaning their demands. The supply
here is the land right. Here’s the total land area and of course the protection area must
be the priority to deduct first from the total area. So, the remaining areas is the supply
and the available land area for the demand. If the supply is adequate for the quantified
needs and requirements, it can be modifying or adjusted in the form of: Additional
expansion areas or growth areas or Allocation policies that would ensure the
progressive realization of the city’s/municipality’s development vision.
If the supply is inadequate meaning less than the demand) strategic interventions is
needed to ensure the provision or availability of land to address space or land
requirements. These are some suggested strategic interventions:
• Increase in use density (densification/ intensification) e.g., infilling of vacant lots,
vertical(high-rise) development, redevelopment
• Reclamation subject to environmental and other laws and regulations
• Possible conversion of developmentally constrained areas with the least perceived
negative impact and subject to appropriate mitigating measures.

If the demand is lower than the supply, the planner/s may decide on the appropriate
use(s) of the remaining land supply to ensure the achievement of the development
thrust.
LGU may considering the Reversion of lands zoned as urban uses to agricultural uses
to ensure and enhance food security. Or Identification of new growth nodes/corridors
And. Identification of areas for additional infrastructure support services

Step 7.2 READ THE SLIDE


Designing the land use map is not just a technical exercise it will require compromise
negotiations and even conflicts among different stakeholders that have been involved
from Step 1. A network of major and secondary roads is an integral part of the proposed
land use map because infrastructure connects land uses.

Step 7.3 READ THE SLIDE


As a comprehensive plan, the comprehensive land use plan should also include policies
for water resources. The broad strategies programs and projects of the local
government can be institutionalized through the CLUP.

Step 7.4 READ THE SLIDE


Land is a finite resource. When you use the land for one use you seldom can use it for
another. The land use plan must demonstrate how land resources are planned to be
use for infrastructure, settlement, production activities and protected activities for future
generations.

STEP 8 DRAFT THE ZONING ORDINANCE


The land use plan that was created is turn into a legal document so drafting the zoning
ordinance is implementing the land use plan through a legal instrument.
When we say Integrated Zoning Ordinance it is a legal document that embodies the
regulations on the allowed uses in each division of a community. In short, it details how
the land of the local government unit should be divided on what uses that can be done
on how that land can be use for residential, commercial, production, infrastructure or
even conservation efforts. And an integrated zoning ordinance is prescribed by the
CLUP guidebook that includes both public and private lands. Aligning with the ridge to
reef approach it includes a plan from low land coastal ecosystem to the high elevation to
the waters that are covered by the municipal boundaries. So, an integrated zoning
ordinance include both land and water resources.
What are the activities and outputs in this STEP 8
READ SLIDE
In defining the title and purpose integrated ZO it should be directly linked to the goals
and objectives of the land use development and management arrangements defined in
the CLUP.
This an example READ THE SLIDE
Any local government may adopt these examples of purposes since they represent the
general goals of a typical local ZO. However, some local legislative bodies could believe
that these reasons are articulated too broadly and prefer to rephrase them in a way that
is more in line with the specific aims and objectives of the CLUP. They could also
incorporate additional objectives that better reflect the communities' unique
development needs, goals and directions of their respective localities.
STEP 8.2
In designating the zones, it should be based on the CLUP and on the zoning approach
by the LGU and should be translated into a map. If applicable LGU may provide to a
more detailed zone classifications, depending on the prevailing conditions in the locality
and on the categorization of land uses, and objectives for each, as provided in the
CLUP. Provisions of relevant laws, including the National Building Code, Revised
Fisheries Code, Agriculture and Fisheries Modernization Law, and Forestry Code
Regarding zone divisions, the Heritage Act, Tourism Code, etc., should considered in
designating zones.
LGUs may designate general zones and this is one of the example like READ THE
SLIDE
And this is also the actual example. This is the Vol 2 Zoning Ordinance of Davao City.
STEP 8.3
Similar to the choice to use an overall zoning approach, the degree of detail and
complexity of restrictions will vary based on the CLUP's objectives and the level of
growth of cities and municipalities. Controls on development typically consist of three
types of interconnected regulations: (1) usage or use regulations allowable land used
shall be in accordance to with our existing laws; (2) density and bulk controls these
pertain to controls on building setbacks, footprints, floor areas, and heights, among
others. It may also provide regulations regarding ground level open spaces and ground
level coverage of impervious surface areas. These controls may vary from zone to zone
according to the objectives of the CLUP.; and (3) performance criteria intended to
ensure neighborhood compatibility and environmental integrity as well as mitigate
possible nuisance effects of developments. Additions to these may include building
design restrictions and others that address special and unique challenges.
STEP 8.4
Because public lands are under the jurisdiction of national government agencies
(NGAs), particularly the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, rather than
local government units (LGUs), partnership and management arrangements between
NGAs and LGUs are important to strengthening coordination, complementarity, and
effective enforcement and implementation of public land use zoning arrangements.
STEP 8.5
LGUs must use new processes and ideas that promote flexibility and creativity in
design. The issuance of exceptions and variations is required to mitigate the potential
harshness that may emerge from the ZO's enforcement. When we say variance a legal
device which grants property owner relief from certain provisions of the Zoning
Ordinance Example the Shrine area actually before it was considered as
residential/commercial zone but it was now converted as Urban Ecological
Enhancement Subzone (UEESZ) after the landslide.  it is defined as areas intended for
massive greening program for ecological enhancement and areas declared to be
protected at all times as its edges and slopes of the ridge or hill are found to be highly
susceptible to landslides. Since diba there are existing landowners with title pa because
of the ordinance they are prohibited na not to contruct but if the property owner could
sufficiently establish that the property is unique and different from the other adjacent
property in the locality and because of its peculiarity, development may be allowed for
other specific use upon the recommendation of the Local Zoning Board of Adjustment
and Appeals (LZBAA) and approval by Sangguniang Panlungsod by three-fourths (¾)
majority votes of all its members, through a resolution and an ordinance provided that
the following conditions are obtained:
Conforming to the provisions of the Ordinance will cause undue hardship on the part of
the owner and adjacent properties specially those situated on a lower ground and the
physical conditions of the property could still be capable of development and the
potential geohazard is not self-created. The proposed variance is a minimum deviation
necessary to
permit a reasonable use of the property. It will not alter the physical character of the
subzone where the property for which the variance is sought is located, and will not
injure the use of other property in same sub-zone. And also, will not weaken the general
purpose of the Ordinance and will not adversely affect the public health, safety or
welfare. If granted, will still be in harmony with the spirit of this Ordinance
STEP 8.6
This section will cite restrictions or compliance with existing zone management
arrangements in public lands or protected land for the issuance of any local permits or
nationally-imposed permits with due consideration and consistency with the approved
CLUP or integrated ZO. Other modes of enforcement may also include deputation of
local volunteers and zoning enforcers at the barangay levels.
STEP 8.7 In creating provisions it should include the following like
 Procedures for handling complaints and opposition.
• Procedures for amending the Zoning Ordinance.
• Provisions on violation and penalty.
• Provision on suppletory effect of other laws and decrees
Step 8.8 List and define the terms used in the ZO.
Some of the terminology used in the ZO are technical and have specific meanings that
should not be interpreted differently by the reader/s. There are other definitions of
terminology that may be applicable specifically to the local authority in concern. As a
result, a section on word definitions is required. Only terms that are actually used or
employed in the Ordinance should be included.
Step 8.9 READ THE SLIDE
STEP 9 STEP 9: CONDUCT PUBLIC HEARING/CONSULTATION
Public hearings enable opposition as well as support to the plans of the LGU for land
use plan and development. Conducting hearing comes after the zoning ordinance has
been drafted. The draft zoning ordinance before is enacted should undergo democratic
process although Step 1 to 7 are participatory process conducting public hearing
enables more issues to be tackled especially id stakeholders have been disregarded
early in the process.
This step is important to get feedback and support from all stakeholders not just the
major and primary but also the marginalized, vulnerable and special sectors like
women, children and people with special needs getting support from this stakeholder
enables sustainable land use plan.
These are the 4 stages in conducting a public hearing
Stage 1 PRE PUBLIC HEARING – READ THE SLIDE
In short, this is all about information dissemination, announcement for the public to
know that the LGU is undergoing or there is revision or updating the comprehensive use
plan
Stage 2 Public Hearing READ THE SLIDE
This is the actual hearing prior to endorsing the plan to the local sanggunian for the
deliberation and enactment of the ZO. The hearing involves all stakeholders of the LGU.
Stage 3 Committee Hearing READ THE SLIDE
Is all about sectoral meetings which the guidebook express and be conducted after the
public hearing while the refinement of the CLUP and ZO are being applied
Stage 4 Post Public Hearing READ THE SLIDE
This stage includes production documentation for the public hearing and the submission
or position papers of sectoral groups or stakeholders towards the plans the LGU has
outline in the land use plan and draft zoning ordinance.
STEP 10 REVIEW, ADOPT AND APPROVE THE CLUP AND ZO
Reviewing, adoption and approval of the CLUP ensures the technical ideological and
political soundness of plans. The needs of proper urban planning and as such technique
ideology and politics is important to be considered in the final plans of the LGU.
STEP 10. 1 READ THE SLIDE
The LGU, through the Mayor, shall endorse and transmit the final draft of CLUP and ZO
together with the supporting documents to the Sangguniang Panlalawigan or HLURB
for review by PLUC/RLUC/MMDA/MMC
These are the required documents needed for the submission READ THE SLIDE
10.2. Conduct review and approval of the CLUP and ZO.
The PLUC/RLUC members may expand the review parameters provided herein, with
respect to the impacts, approach, strategies, etc. across sectors and ecosystems.
This is the flowchart for the Revised CLUP Review and Approval Process for
Component Cities and Municipalities (CCMs) and for Highly Urbanized Cities (HUCs)
and Independent Component Cities (ICCs)

The difference here in the flowchart that in CCMs the review of the CLUP and ZO is
conducted by the SP through Provincial Land Use Committee (PLUC). The PLUC
endorses the CLUP/ZO for SPanlalawigan approval. The Sangguniang
Panlalawigan approves the CLUP/ZO.
While in the Highly Urbanized Cities and Independent Component Cities it involves
the HLURB Region Field Office (HLURB RFO) and the HLURB-Policy Development

STEP 11. IMPLEMENT THE CLUP & ZONING ORDINANCE

Resources, institutional frameworks, and processes, among other things, must be


realized in order to implement the CLUP. The Local Government Code gives local
governments (LGUs) the freedom to choose and execute their own organizational
structure and staffing strategy in accordance with their vision, objectives, and goals.
These measures and tools are outlined in this section and may be used by the LGU to
actually execute the CLUP/ZO. LGUs will need to determine what is suitable for their
own situation. The LGU's creativity in governance will be essential to the effective
implementation of the plan.

STEP11.1 Strengthen and build local institutional mechanisms.

How? By Reviewing the LGU’s organizational structure, staff composition, and


responsibility centers vis-a-vis the requirements to effectively implement the approved
CLUP and Zoning Ordinance. In most cases, there are LGUs require changes in their
organizational structure to improve development performance and eventually attain the
vision, goals, and objectives of the CLUP. Some offices may need to be strengthened
by additional staff and/or capacity building programs. There may also be cases when
establishment of new offices/units or ad-hoc bodies (e.g. one stop shop) is necessary in
order to implement the CLUP
Next by revisiting the details of existing operational guidelines
vis-à-vis the requirements to implement the approved CLUP and Zoning Ordinance. To
maintain accountability, efficiency, transparency, and compliance with current national
policies, this action is required. In many instances, it is sufficient to simply amend
current operational guidelines to bring them into alignment with the development
framework, vision, goals, objectives, and policies in the approved CLUP.
Next Identify other development regulations in addition to the approved zoning
ordinance needed to fully implement the approved CLUP by Reviewing existing local
ordinances related to land use development/control for possible inconsistencies with the
approved CLUP/ZO and possible gaps in existing local development ordinances.
CLUP/ZO. And Consolidate the results of the above steps and reach consensus on the
changes in organizational structure and additional mechanisms needed to implement
the CLUP/ZO.

STEP 2. INFORM AND EDUCATE


This all about information dissemination and education in a form of campaign materials
such as Display maps in conspicuous places within the LGU. Orient stakeholders such
as the business sector, NGOs/POs, civic society, and prepare brochures/flyers for the
general public. The CLUP and ZO shall be posted in the official website of the LGU. As
much as possible, the IEC campaign materials shall include visual presentations
of the land use and zoning maps. These may be in the form of a 3D maps and/or
barangay-level translation of the CLUP and ZO maps.
STEP 3. Establishing inter-LGU partnership and/or co-management agreements
The adoption of an integrated ecosystems management planning platform for the
CLUP means that an LGU’s development pattern is directly linked to the watershed/
sub-watershed ecosystems that cover an LGU.
Aside from the MOA or MOU as the basis for the identification and implementation of
activities in the shared resource areas. I watch the video PAK S02E03 Ridge-to-Reef
Ecosystem Framework they are pushing that it should have a mother or master plan for
the watershed/river basin. Kay if lahi2 and no basis for the master plan then its
problematic it will cause conflict in each city or provinces. So the Watershed Ecosystem
Management & Ridge to Reef Approach is to create a masterplan to make sure that it
will not have adverse impact or conflicts in any other programs of other government
agency. We all know that there’s a lot of programs and policies by the government that
they implemented on the ground. Different agency in every place of watershed so if the
policies and programs cannot be coordinated not in harmony in one another then the
conflict will result to inefficiency sa mga programs at the same time will cause also
problem sa atong ecosystem. So its better to have a master plan as a basis in every
LGU in creating a different plan to make sure that it will not have adverse impact or
conflicts in any other programs of other government agency.

11.4. Localize to barangay or community level.


How to localize? There will be a technical orientation and briefing of local barangay
officials and facilitate the discussion and provisions of the CLUP/ZO and other relevant
ordinances and programs. The concerned barangay officials and members shall then
conduct a review of their current barangay development plans (BDPs)/ADSDPP for
consistency and refinements, if warranted. Planning at the barangay level provides the
necessary input needed to flesh out development strategies, detailed land uses,
development regulations, as well as projects for the CDP.
11.5. Other ways to implement the CLUP
There are other ways of implementing the CLUP aside from the integrated Zoning
Ordinance (ZO). The Local Government Code provides a lot of power for the LGU to
impose or provide incentives to pursue its development goals and objectives. These
include the use of revenue and fiscal incentives (particularly for cities and provinces)
example the real property tax that we pay yearly; application of permits; licensing and
fees systems for delivery of services; regulatory mechanisms; and planning and policy
instruments.

STEP 12: MONITOR & EVALUATE


STEP 12 of the CLUP and ZO implementation is a major activity that needs to be
strengthened. Thus, it is important that an effective RME system be established, in
order to track the progress reached by the CLUP. This is recognized in Section 3 of EO
72 and Section 5 of MC 54. An effective MRE system is a guide for the LGU to focus
their development efforts and interventions towards the achievement of their vision.
STEP 12.1 12.1. Organize a monitoring, review and evaluation (MRE) body
The Local Development Council (LDC) is responsible for LGU plan preparation and
MRE body to organized to undertake the monitoring, review an evaluation of the CLUP
and ZO implementation.

12.2. Develop MRE Systems and Procedures

uses and progress in priority programs and projects implementation are tracked.
Moreover, an assessment on the CLUP and ZO implementation reflects its impact in
achieving improvements in quality of life of the locality.
12.3. Conduct actual MRE
By monitoring review and evaluate. This will be done by coordinating with all relevant
local and national agencies, including research/academic, private sector, NGOs/CSOs
groups, to generate and consolidate necessary information for MRE. Prepare the CLUP
Progress Report Card in cooperation with other relevant local and national agencies
and institutions. Provide monitoring reports to the SB, LDC and LCE on an annual
basis.
12.4. Review CLUP and ZO for updating.
A CLUP and ZO review shall be conducted every four years or as the need arises. The
continuous monitoring of CLUP outcome and results indicators and the
operationalization of the different implementing mechanisms, including local citizen
bodies created for monitoring the implementation, would make the review or updating of
the CLUP more effective and systematic
12.5. Submit the report
