The Union of Local Authorities of the Philippines (ULAP) met with Gov. Ramil Hernandez of the Provincial Government of Laguna to discuss various projects on migration and development, education, and land titling and property rights, on February 9, 2015.
Laguna is one of the pilot sites of PINOY WISE (Worldwide Initiative on Investments, Savings, and Entrepreneurship) that ULAP implemented with Atikha in 2012. From 2015 onwards, the migration and development project will be scaled up with the support of the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), to concretely mainstream migration in local economic development.
Laguna is also a target partner to implement K to 12 and last-mile projects of the Department of Education, and the implementation of the Residential Free Patent Act, which are projects supported by ULAP through its partnerships.
