Four other cities were selected for this special course: Muntinlupa City, Balanga City of Bataan, Candon City if Ilocos Sur, and Tacurong City.

The SCURP  participants also visited Quezon City Planning and Development Coordinating Office on Feb 14 where they were briefed on the city’s Planning Department structure, data gathering and management, and use of the Geographic Information System or GIS.

According to the Philippine Information Agency, the course uses the Rationalized Local Planning System as its basic framework, which include four elements: 

  1. Planning structure
  2. Planning mandates
  3. Planning processes
  4. LGU authority levers.


Together with trainees from the other cities,  the Bogo City contingents should go through:
  • 5 sessions of  classes and  face-to-face interactions
  • 10 days  of distance learning sessions, and   
  • about 3 months of actual  field work  for data collection and  analysis.
This special course, which is part of LCP’s project entitled Developing Knowledge Management and Exchange System for City Managers, will end on April 2014.
