The Philippine Planning Journal is published in October and April by the School of Urban and Regional Planning, University of the Philippines. More genuine commitment to the regional development approach has emerged with the assumption of power by the Aquino government. In particular, it will examine the country's experience of regional development planning in the last twenty (20) years in terms of systems, concepts and approaches.
Especially in the case of the Sicol region (which is the regional focus of the study) such inequalities are clearly visible. It is in the context of the imbalances between the regions that the regional development program of the country was formulated. The evolution of the regional planning approach in the Philippines can be roughly divided into four (4) periods: (1) the Pre-1970 period which can be described as the period before regional planning became conscious as a formal approach to development which can be referred to as the preparatory years for regional development planning which can be described as the years of integration; and (4) Post-1986 as the period of decentralization and autonomous regions.
Also prior to the formal adoption of the regional planning approach are various resource-based authorities. This period is marked by the official adoption of the regional approach to development planning by the Philippine government.
CENTRAL LUZON
During this period the government displayed a striking awareness of the spatial dimension of development planning. This period was also marked by the formal introduction of the human settlement approach to development. Both laws established the autonomous regions as a territorial and political subdivision of the state.
In the plebiscites that followed, only four provinces of Mindanao and one province of the Cordilleras [lfugao) chose to be part of their respective regions. The freedom view is the starting point for the discussion of the role of participation in development. Participatory development in the Phi Iippynes parallels the four-point spectrum of the right, liberal, structural and radical participatory planning approaches.
This section of the paper focuses primarily on participatory development in agricultural and rural settings in the Philippines. In evaluating the performance of the modernization approach to the Philippine agricultural and rural development strategies, the IU~. We do not delay the distribution of the fruits of growth to the lower classes of our people.
Ofreneo identifies two types of rural exploitation, direct and indirect, historically and currently experienced in the Philippines. Mao identifies the proletariat as the leaders of the revolution, and expresses faith in the efficacy of spontaneous organization by the people. The Bank makes no mention in the report of the possible and probable causes of the farmers' unrest.
Kerkvliet (1979) listed eight conclusions for discussion of the Huk Rebellion and the peasant movement that supported it. The late 1960s and 1970s brought the rebirth of the Communist Party of the Philippines, which joined the National Democratic Front (CPP-NDF). There are also a number of weaknesses and gaps in each of the theme's review and strategy for agricultural and rural development in the Philippines.
Economic and political policies that are crucial for rural development are formulated without the participation of the rural masses. 34; Barriers and Opportunities of Participatory Planning in a Large Irrigation System: The Case of the llocos Norte Irrigation Project (INIP) in the Philippines.” Unpublished Ph.D.

LEGEND
Dummy tables were prepared to facilitate the construction of the indicators in the identified problem areas. Cluster analysis was then used to classify the barangays into different groups based on similarities (or dissimilarities) of values for each of the 14 retained indicators. Operational guidelines were prepared detailing the use of the final set of indicators selected for barangay classification.
Initially, some seventy preliminary development indicators had been prepared in the sample barangays prior to the implementation of the field survey. These confirm the validity of the types of socio-economic indicators to consider when assessing the developmental status of a barangay. As discussed in the methodology, the baranqavs covered in this study were subjected to a cluster analysis based on the fourteen selected indicators.
Research by the grouping found that barangays with similar characteristics tended to cluster together. Ratio of total expenses to total revenue from all sources of the barangay. registered for each barangay in a cluster. Then the averages of the scores for each cluster were calculated and ranked against the other clusters. the team was able to identify the five classes of barangays based on their level of development.
Discriminant analysis was performed to form linear combinations of the thirteen indicators that would best differentiate between the groups established earlier by cluster analysis. These derived discriminant functions will then be used to classify a given barangay into one of the five distinct groups. These probabilities are based on the proportional allocation of the barangays among the defined groups (see Table 8).
One of the side findings of the project concerns the so-called "lack" of data. Information about a particular barangay is unconsolidated and kept in different offices of the local government0·national offices in the locality. In large urbanized localities, a barangay accountant in the office of the city/municipal treasurer maintains the accounts of each barangay.
