𝐀𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚, 𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐀𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: 𝐀𝐝𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐎𝐏𝐃𝐄𝐕 𝐢𝐧 𝐌𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐀

On February 26, 2026, the 𝐑𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐮𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐂𝐨𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞 (𝐑𝐏𝐃𝐂𝐂) convened at the Madison Hotel, Quezon City, bringing together regional line agencies, civil society organizations (CSOs), academe, and provincial and city LGUs in a strategic convergence to strengthen population and development (POPDEV) governance in MIMAROPA.

The meeting was presided over by RPDCC Co-Chairperson and 𝐃𝐞𝐩𝐄𝐝 𝐌𝐈𝐌𝐀𝐑𝐎𝐏𝐀 𝑹𝒆𝒈𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒂𝒍 𝑫𝒊𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑵𝒊𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒂𝒔 𝑻. 𝑪𝒂𝒑𝒖𝒍𝒐𝒏𝒈, who underscored the urgency of aligning sectoral interventions with evolving demographic realities and ensuring that all efforts contribute to long-term human capital development.

At the core of the discussions was the Regional Population and Development Strategic Plan 2026–2028, which sets the strategic direction of the region in addressing key population challenges—ranging from declining population growth, internal migration, adolescent pregnancy, ageing population, and persistent malnutrition.

The Plan emphasizes:
✔ Strengthening data-driven and evidence-based planning across LGUs
✔ Advancing human capital development, particularly in education and health
✔ Promoting inclusive and gender-responsive interventions
✔ Enhancing multi-sectoral convergence to address complex and interrelated POPDEV issues
✔ Institutionalizing local data systems and analytics to support responsive governance

Complementing this, discussions on the 2020 Census-Based Population Projections highlighted critical demographic shifts and their implications on education systems, labor supply, and service delivery—reinforcing the need for proactive and anticipatory planning.

Meanwhile, the 2025 Regional Nutrition Situation called for more localized, community-driven, and multi-dimensional strategies to address persistent malnutrition, particularly in vulnerable and geographically isolated areas.

A key milestone of the meeting was the formal inclusion of the National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC) as a member of the RPDCC, further strengthening the region’s capacity to respond to ageing-related concerns.

As MIMAROPA navigates these demographic transitions, the RPDCC reaffirms its commitment to translate plans into action ensuring that every strategy, policy, and investment is grounded on real data and focused on people.

With stronger partnerships and smarter use of data, MIMAROPA continues to move forward anchored on one enduring principle:
Tao ang Puso ng Pag-unlad.

“𝗨𝗡𝗜𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗦𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗢𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗣𝗘𝗡𝗦𝗜𝗢𝗡, 𝗡𝗚𝗔𝗬𝗢𝗡 𝗡𝗔!”

Bumuhos ang suporta ng pamunuan ng Senior Citizens sa panukalang batas na Universal Social Pension sa Kamara.

Sa pormal na pagsasalin ng signature campaign sa Kamara, sinabi ni Atty. Ma. Merceditas Gutierrez, Chairperson at CEO ng National Commission of Senior Citizens (NCSC), ikinakampanya nila sa mga mambabatas at sa publiko ang universal social pension na iniakda ni Marikina Rep. Atty. Miro Quimbo.

Ayon kay Atty. Gutierrez, napapanahon ito ngayong may krisis sa langis, at ang pagsasabatas nito ay makatutulong sa tinatayang 11 million senior citizens.

Ipinapanawagan ng kampanyang “Isang Milyong Lagda para sa Matatanda” na gawing prayoridad at maisabatas sa panahon ni Pangulong Ferdinand Marcos, Jr. ang naturang panukala.

“By establishing a universal pension that is a non-contributory monthly monetary grant, the law will finally erase the discriminatory lines drawn between the ‘indigent’ and the ‘pensioner,’” pahayag ni Atty. Merceditas.

Dumalo sa nasabing aktibidad si NCSC Acting Executive Director Ana Marie C. Calapit at ipinahatid ang hiling ng sektor ng mga nakatatanda.

“Matagal na pong hinihintay ng ating mga mahal na senior citizens ang Universal Social Pension. Handa ang NCSC na tumulong sa pamamahagi nito sakaling maisabatas ito,” saad ni Dir. Calapit.

Ang nasabing signature campaign ay pinangunahan ni Rep. Quimbo bilang pagsuporta sa Committee on Senior Citizens na pinamumunuan naman ni United Senior Citizen Party-list Rep. Milagros Aquino-Magsaysay.

Sa ngayon, nakatakda nang isumite sa House plenary ang panukala na matatandaang inaprubahan ng Committee on Senior Citizens noong 2025.

Abangan ang buong detalye.
