[๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐] ILIGAN CITY COMPLETES TWO-DAY PUBLIC HEARING FOR THE CLUP 2025โ2037 & ZONING ORDINANCE! ๐๏ธโจ
After months of rigorous data-gathering, technical reviews, and comprehensive sectoral consultations, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) 2025โ2037 and Zoning Ordinance Public Hearing has officially concluded. Held on July 23 and 24, 2026, at Robinsons Place Iligan, this pivotal two-day gathering brought together hundreds of Iliganons across all sectors to help shape the future of our city. This landmark achievement marks a decisive step toward realizing a sustainable, resilient, and globally competitive "Smart Industropolis."
The two-day proceedings ensured that every corner of our City had a seat at the table. Day 1 centered on our urban and coastal corridors, diving into strategic discussions on transport management networks, commercial growth, coastal bypass routes, and urban renewal frameworks. Day 2 brought our hinterland and rural barangay leaders, indigenous communities, and upland stakeholders to the center stage, ensuring that rural infrastructure, agricultural preservation, economic zone expansion, and ancestral domain protection are fully integrated into our 12-year spatial blueprint.
This monumental milestone was made possible through the visionary leadership and collaborative synergy of our city officials. We extend our deepest gratitude to our City Mayor, Hon. Frederick Siao, whose vision for a data-driven, people-centric, and sustainable Iligan continues to guide our cityโs development strategy. Equal appreciation goes to Hon. Atty. Marlene L. Young, SP Chairperson on Land Use Plan, Housing Development, and Urban Poor, for her steadfast legal stewardship and dedication to safeguarding public welfare, agricultural protection, and socialized housing security.
We also recognize the technical direction and leadership of our City Planning and Development Coordinator, EnP Elsa M. Maquiling, whose steadfast guidance steered the entire CPDO technical working group from step one down to this successful public presentation.
Planning turns into action when the community stays actively engaged. Pursuant to DHSUD statutory guidelines, a 15-calendar-day submission window is now open until August 5, 2026, for formal written position papers, comments, and sector feedback. Submissions may be handed in directly to the CPDO Secretariat or submitted through our official online channels. Together, we are not just planning for the future, we are building the legacy of Iligan City for generations to come!
