What specific bodies is the President mandated to provide for regional development? The President is constitutionally mandated to provide for the creation of regional development councils or other similar administrative bodies. These vital councils are purposely meant to serve as platforms for administrative decentralization within the various geographic regions of the country. By convening different sectoral stakeholders, these bodies aim to systematically strengthen the autonomy of local units and drive robust regional progress. The creation of these regional development councils is mandated by Article X, Section 14, 1987 Philippine Constitution. “SECTION 14. The President shall provide for regional development councils or other similar bodies… for purposes of administrative decentralization to strengthen the autonomy of the units therein and to accelerate the economic and social growth and development of the units in the region.” 06-Mar-26 About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
