CAR’s poverty situation is generally on a downtrend since 1991 though it slightly worsened in 2006, for both poverty

incidence of families...

Poverty Incidence of Families, Philippines and North Luzon: 2009

CAR has a lower poverty incidence

rate than the national average and is the 13th

poorest region in the country in 2009. CAR is also better off than the Ilocos

Region but is worse off than the

Cagayan Valley Region.

So what is our PLAN?


23

Regional Development Vision

We, the people of the Cordilleras, proud of our culture and heritage

rooted in spirituality, shall have a truly autonomous region of enlightened and empowered citizenry who shall pursue

sustainable development where responsibilities and benefits are

equitably shared by all.


24

CAR’s overall development strategy:

Growing the regional economy based on CAR’s comparative

advantages and areas of specialization to achieve

inclusive growth


25

Twin Priority Strategies:

Advancing CAR as Watershed Cradle of North Philippines

Anchoring CAR’s development on sectors/industries that have forward and backward linkages with the region’s watersheds

(including agro-forestry, agri-industry, hydropower generation, eco-tourism)Continuing pursuit of regional autonomy

Pursuing a regional autonomous government set-up as governance mechanism to help fasttrack development that is most appropriate

for CAR

Priority regional strategy 1:

Advancing CAR as the Watershed Cradle of North

Philippines


30

CAR hosts 13 major river systems with enormous

water supply for domestic, agricultural, power

generation and industrial needs of the river basins of

CAR and neighboring Regions 1, 2 and 3, virtually the upper north of Luzon.

We need to rehabilitate, regenerate, protect and

manage our watersheds to promote CAR as a model

“green economy” pursuing a sustainable development

strategy.

KFA on Watershed Cradle


31

KFA on Greens and Ornamental Grocer

CAR has traditionally focused its agricultural produce on high-value semi-temperate fruits, vegetables, and other commercial crops like flowers and coffee.

With rehabilitated watersheds, we should also focus on intensifying and expanding value addition with increasing high-value agroforestry production including forest plantations for both major and minor forest products.


32

KFA on Major Hydropower Producer

CAR has a vital role to play in the country’s search for alternative renewable sources of energy with its vast potential for hydropower generation in CAR and the northern regions.With improved capacity for water storage and better managed river water flow from our rehabilitated watersheds, we will develop and generate energy along our strategy of small, mini and micro run-of-river type hydropower generation projects that are more socially acceptable and more environment-friendly.


33

KFA on Prime Ecotourist Destination

CAR’s rehabilitated and regenerated watersheds will increase its ecotourism industry’s competitiveness highlighting the region’s pristine environment, refreshing climate and distinct natural and physical attractions.

We need to develop more ecotourism circuits away from traditional tourist destinations such as Baguio, Sagada and Banaue.


34

KFA on Agri-Industrial Actvities and Knowledge-Based IndustriesCAR’s manufacturing output is highly dominated (almost 98%) by the high-value PEZA-based electronics industry.

Our strategy is to proliferate MSMEs in the various stages of the value-chain development utilizing CAR-based natural resources. We will also continue to play our major role as the northernmost hub of the Philippine Cyber Corridor super region. To date, Baguio-based efforts are being made to extend the opportunities to BLISTT then CAR-wide.

35

KFA on Prime Educational Center

CAR’s quality education services provided by its HEIs and TVIs continues to attract local and foreign students.

Our strategy is to develop and expand better quality education and education-allied services outside Baguio City into the BLISTT area and then CAR-wide.


36

Priority regional strategy 2:Continuing pursuit of

Cordillera regional autonomy


37

KFA on Good Governance through regional autonomy:Regional autonomy is now increasingly

being regarded by the development planning/management sector as probably the most solid foundation towards enabling CAR to pursue its sustainable development agenda to improve the quality of life of Cordillerans.

Regional autonomy is seen to provide CAR greater flexibility in deciding, implementing & allocating resources for PPAs slanted towards regional priority thrusts.

Needed therefore is continuing support for social preparation activities towards becoming regionally autonomous, specifically IEC and capability-building activities.


38

Cordillera regional autonomy an active agenda of the RDC-CAR

Article 10, sections 15-21 of the 1987 Philippine Constitution Section 15. “There shall be created autonomous regions in Muslim Mindanao and the Cordilleras...”

Bases of the autonomy agenda:

EO 220 signed on July 15, 1987 creating the Cordillera Administrative Region is a transition and preparatory set-up for an autonomous region in the Cordillera


39

Other requisite KFAs for CAR Regional

Development


40

KFA on Physical Integration

CAR remains to have the poorest national road system in the country with only 34% of its roads paved in 2007 compared to the national average of 72%.We need to complete the regional road network comprising of a south-north trunkline and several road laterals that will link CAR centers directly to each other and the centers of neighboring Ilocos and Cagayan Valley regions. This KFA also focuses on completing a regionwide communication system.


41

KFA on Indigenous Culture and Knowledge

CAR development will be pursued in the context of the distinct and unique historical and cultural heritage of the Cordillera by utilizing its rich and diverse cultures, values, traditions and practices.

We will integrate indigenous knowledge, systems and practices (IKSPs) to enrich and hasten CAR socio-economic development.


42

KFA on Social Development

We are conscious that the benefits of economic growth will not be equally spread and shared by all.

We will need to address the most basic social needs of the most vulnerable sectors of Cordillera society. While we have a high probability of meeting our poverty, simple literacy and HH water accessibility targets in the MDG, we have a low chance of achieving four and medium chance of achieving three targets related to the status of our children.*

Low probability: (1) prevalence of underweight children under 5 years old; (2) cohort survival rate; (3) completion rate; (4) proportion of 1-year old children immunized against measles.Medium probability: (1) elementary participation rate; (2) under-5 mortality rate; (3) infant mortality rate.
