I. BACKGROUND /RATIONALE
The development of the locality is the heart and soul of local government units. An LGU
manages its own growth and changes through a set of plans with varying scope and
time frame. With the aid of various plans, LGUs are expected to effectively manage their
local development. Section 20 of the LGC mandates LGUs to prepare a Comprehensive
Land Use Plan (CLUP) enacted through a Zoning Ordinance (ZO). Sections 106 and
109 of the code likewise mandate the LGUs to prepare a comprehensive multi-sectoral
development plan and to set a vision, sectoral goals, objectives, development strategies
and policies.
The CLUP can well be regarded as the plan for the long-term management of the
local territory. As the skeletal – circulatory framework of the territory’s physical
development, it identifies areas where development can and cannot be located and
directs public and private investments accordingly. The CDP on the other hand, is the
action plan utilized by every local administration to develop and implement priority
sectoral and cross sectoral programs and projects in the proper locations to put flesh on
the skeleton as it were, gradually and incrementally until the desired shape or form of
development is eventually attained over the long term. This is consistent with the
definition of planning as public control of the pattern of development.
The LGU Vision serves as the basis for all planning efforts in the locality. This
vision is translated in the form of a Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP), a long-term
plan which lays out the development directions that also defines the physical pattern of
growth for the locality for at least 10 years. Ideally, all other plans should be consistent
with the CLUP to ensure continuity, rationality and stability in local development efforts
down through the generations.
Medium term plans such as the Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP),
usually ranging from three (3) to six (6) years, are prepared to concretize the vision.
Section 106 of the Local Government Code of 1991 mandates each Local
Government Unit to prepare a comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan to be
initiated by its local development council and approved by its Sanggunian. Pursuant
thereto, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) has developed the
Enhanced Guide to Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) for the Local Government
Units (LGUs). The CDP Guide puts into operation the concepts and processes
enumerated on the rationalized local planning system and JMC No. 001, S. 2007 on
harmonization of local planning, investment programming, budgeting and revenue
administration. Moreover, the CDP Guide provides the mechanism for the
synchronization and harmonization of the core LGU operations from the planning to
plan monitoring and evaluation with thematic and cross-sectoral concerns that various
national government agencies pursue and seek to address at the LGU levels.
