The Municipal Development Council (MDC) successfully convened its meeting on June 1, bringing together local government officials, barangay leaders, civil society representatives, and department heads to discuss and approve critical development plans that will guide the municipality's growth and progress in the coming years. The meeting was presided over by ๐ ๐ฎ๐๐ผ๐ฟ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐น๐น๐ ๐๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐, with the active participation of Punong Barangays from 29 barangays, representatives from various Civil Society Organizations (CSOs), the Sangguniang Bayan Chairperson on Finance and Appropriations, and heads of different municipal offices and departments.
A major highlight of the meeting was the approval of the Municipality's Annual Investment Program (AIP) for Calendar Year 2027. The approved AIP outlines priority programs, projects, and activities that are aligned with the municipality's development goals and strategic priorities. It serves as the basis for funding essential services and infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving the quality of life of San Dionisians. The Council likewise approved the Local Development Investment Program (LDIP) for 2027โ2029, a three-year rolling investment plan that identifies priority development projects and corresponding funding requirements. The LDIP serves as a crucial planning tool that ensures the effective allocation of resources and the implementation of programs that contribute to sustainable and inclusive local development.
In her message, Mayor Lopez emphasized the importance of collaborative governance and stakeholder participation in the development planning process. She expressed appreciation for the valuable contributions of the barangay officials, CSOs, members of the Sangguniang Bayan, and municipal department heads in shaping development priorities that reflect the needs and aspirations of the community.
The successful conduct of the MDC meeting demonstrates the municipality's commitment to participatory planning, transparency, and accountable governance. With the approval of the AIP CY 2027 and LDIP CY 2027โ2029, the local government is poised to pursue strategic investments and development initiatives that will foster sustainable growth and improve public service delivery for all constituents.
