These programs were included in the discussion of around 200 representatives of city government offices, the Sangguniang Panlungsod, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government

City Planning and Development Coordinator Engr. Ivan C. Cortez said that the ELA is a DILG requirement that should be formulated within the first 100 days of every new administration.

He said that the ELA will set the development direction of the city government, together with the Sangguniang Panlungsod, for the next three years.

As discussed by DILG Davao Director Vicky Sarcena, the “ELA will also become the basis for the Local Development Investment Plan (LDIP)”.

The LDIP will contain the list of projects and programs by the executive and the legislative for funding from all sources.

Mayor Baste Duterte, in his speech, urged the executive and legislative offices to work together for the implementation of priority projects and programs to be identified under the ELA. CIO
