Message from the Chairperson The pursuit for a Western Visayas Region with an empowered people and a progressive economy remains at the core of the Updated Regional Development Plan (RDP) 2017-2022. The attainment of our vision is guided by the Regional Development Report (RDR) 2019 which assesses the implementation of the RDP 2017-2022. It presents the accomplishments of various government agencies for CY 2019 based on sector indicators and targets. It provides an overall picture on how the region fared in carrying out the strategies, programs, and projects to achieve the goals and targets of the RDP. Our learnings and experiences in the past years have influenced our current policies to ensure that we reach our targets at the end of the planning period.

Message from the Chairperson | v


Message from the Co-Chairperson The 2019 Regional Development Report provides us a report on the hard work and collaborative endeavors of all stakeholders as the region journeys toward realizing Ambisyon Natin 2040. As an assessment of the Midterm Update of the Western Visayas Regional Development Plan (WVRDP) 2017-2022 for 2019, the report highlights the major accomplishments of the region, and at the same time identifies what are the remaining issues and concerns that need to be addressed in the remaining years of plan implementation.

Message from the Vice Chairperson For three years now, the Regional Development Plan 2017-2022 has served as the roadmap for the socio-economic development of Western Visayas. It contains strategies that will contribute to the attainment of both the Philippine Development Plan core targets and the region-specific targets. With the midterm updating of RDP this 2019, new strategies have been developed to address the lingering challenges that continue to hamper the achievement of our desired goals.
