CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY โ As the first half of the year concluded and the second semester commenced, the Department of AgricultureโPhilippine Rural Development Project 10 (DA-PRDP 10) convened with PRDP-assisted Local Government Units (LGUs) across Northern Mindanao to assess the implementation status of ongoing subprojects and align priorities for the remainder of 2026. The two-day coordination meeting was held on July 16โ17, 2026, here.
Representing DA-10 Regional Executive Director and DA-PRDP 10 Project Director Jose Apollo Y. Pacamalan, I-BUILD Component Head Junel W. Ablanque underscored the importance of closely monitoring project implementation to ensure the timely completion of infrastructure investments.
"This activity aims to monitor and track the progress of DA-PRDP subprojects, particularly those scheduled for completion within the year. We are here to work closely with our partner LGUs in setting realistic timelines and targets to ensure that every subproject is completed on schedule," Ablanque said.
He added that the meeting also serves as a channel to strengthen coordination between the Project and partner LGUs, address implementation bottlenecks, and identify appropriate interventions to sustain project momentum throughout the second semester.
During the meeting, LGUs with ongoing subprojects presented the physical accomplishments and implementation status of their respective subprojects, along with their catch-up plans to ensure the timely completion of project activities. These include the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, Provincial Government of Bukidnon, City Government of Oroquieta, and the Municipal Governments of San Fernando, Lala, and Tubod.
Meanwhile, LGUs that have been awarded No Objection Letter 1 (NOL 1) presented updates on their procurement activities, including the status of bidding and implementation schedules. These include the Provincial Government of Misamis Occidental, City Government of Valencia, and the Municipal Governments of Malitbog, Lantapan, and Kalilangan.
Through this continuing coordination with partner LGUs, RPCO 10 is able to closely monitor the implementation of subprojects, track the commitments of each LGU, and ensure that project timelines are achieved as scheduled.
