I. INTRODUCTION
The Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) of the Municipality of
Tublay for Calendar Year (CY) 2026-2031 is a strategic framework
aimed at guiding the holistic and sustainable development of the
municipality. This proposal is anchored on the Local Government Code
of the Philippines (RA 7160), the Rationalized Planning System (RPS),
and the Illustrative Guide for Comprehensive Development Planning
provided by the Department of the Interior and Local Government
(DILG).
Crafting the CDP is a crucial process for any local government unit
(LGU) as it sets the direction for the municipality's socio-economic
development. It provides a coherent strategy that integrates various
sectoral plans and programs, ensuring that resources are efficiently
utilized to achieve the municipality’s development goals. The current
CDP of Tublay, covering 2021-2026, has provided the direction for the
municipality’s growth and development. However, as the end of the
current plan approaches, it is essential to prepare a new CDP for 2026-
2031 to continue building on this foundation.
The new CDP will ensure vertical and horizontal alignment with existing
and future plans, as well as implementing instruments, to maintain
consistency and coherence in the municipality's development efforts.
By overlapping the new plan with the tail end of the current one,
Tublay can seamlessly transition into the next phase of its
development, minimizing disruptions and capitalizing on ongoing
initiatives.
The importance of crafting the CDP cannot be overstated. It enables
the LGU to:
Address Current and Emerging Challenges: By assessing the
current situation and anticipating future trends, the CDP can

develop strategies to address challenges such as climate
change, economic fluctuations, and demographic shifts.
Optimize Resource Allocation Through a well-structured plan,
Tublay can ensure that financial, human, and natural resources
are allocated efficiently and effectively to priority projects and
programs.
Promote Inclusive Development: The CDP process involves
extensive stakeholder consultation, ensuring that the voices of
all sectors, including marginalized and vulnerable groups, are
heard and considered in the planning process.
Align with National and Regional Goals: The CDP ensures that
local development efforts are aligned with national and regional
development plans, contributing to broader socio-economic
objectives and accessing national support and funding.
Enhance Governance and Transparency: By outlining clear
objectives, strategies, and performance indicators, the CDP
promotes accountability and transparency in local governance,
fostering trust and engagement among residents.
The CDP for CY 2026-2031 will be a crucial tool for Tublay to realize its
development goals, ensuring that the municipality can address its
current challenges and leverage opportunities for growth and
development.
II. LEGAL BASIS
A. The preparation of the CDP is mandated by several provisions of
the Local Government Code of the Philippines (RA 7160), which
underscores the importance of local autonomy, community
participation, and sustainable development.
1. Local Autonomy and Planning (Section 2a): The Local
Government Code affirms that local government units (LGUs)
shall enjoy genuine and meaningful local autonomy to enable
them to attain their fullest development as self-reliant
communities and make them more effective partners in the
attainment of national goals.
2. Role of Local Government Units (Section 16): LGUs are tasked to
ensure and support the preservation and enrichment of culture,
promote health and safety, enhance the right of the people to a
balanced ecology, encourage and support the development of
appropriate and self-reliant scientific and technological
capabilities, improve public morals, enhance economic prosperity
and social justice, promote full employment among their
residents, maintain peace and order, and preserve the comfort
and convenience of their inhabitants.
3. Comprehensive Development Plan (Section 106-109):
Section 106 mandates that each LGU shall have a
comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan to be initiated
by its development council and approved by its sanggunian.
Section 107 specifies that the local development council shall
assist the corresponding sanggunian in setting the direction of
economic and social development, and coordinate development
efforts within its territorial jurisdiction.
Section 108 requires the formulation of local development plans
and public investment programs.
Section 109 highlights the functions of the local development
council, including the formulation of sectoral plans and strategies
to ensure that the plan is comprehensive and multi-sectoral.
B. Rationalized Planning System (Executive Order 72, Series of
1993): The RPS integrates various planning processes and
frameworks to ensure coherence, consistency, and coordination
in local development planning, making it more responsive to the
needs of local communities.
C. Illustrative Guide for Comprehensive Development Planning
(DILG): This guide provides detailed steps and methodologies for
creating a CDP that is participatory, evidence-based, and aligned
with national and local priorities. It emphasizes the importance of
an inclusive and transparent planning process that involves all
stakeholders.
