‘NATION’S GLOBAL FRONTIER’

Davao Region is on target By NEILWIN JOSEPH L. BRAVO njb@edgedavao.net

AYOR Sara Z. Duterte yesterday said Davao Region is well on its way to becoming the “Nation’s Global Frontier.”

In her final state of the region address (SORA) before the Regional Development Council at the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA) 11 Center, the regional RDC chairperson said the vision outlined in the Davao Regional Development Plan 2011-2016 is within target. The DRDP is the first major output of the RDC 11 during the term of Mayor Sara as RDC 11 chair which was aligned with President Aquino’s so-called Social Contract with

the Filipino people. Towards that end, Mayor Sara also cited the Regional Development Investment Program (RDIP) 2011-2016 formulated to provide the priority programs and projects that would propel the region’s growth to higher and faster economic growth and poverty reduction. She cited the great strides made by the region in just three years. “We are pleased to have made a positive difference in the state of Davao Region. But we also accept the fact that a lot more needs to be done,” she stressed.
