The Social Development Committee (SDC2) endorsed the Cagayan Valley Regional Development Plan (CV RDP) 2023-2028 Midterm Update and the hiring of 4Ps beneficiaries during its 130th Regular Business Meeting on 22 August 2025 at the Pamegafanan Hall, DEPDev Regional Office 2, Tuguegarao City.

The Committee validated the accomplishments, strategies, and targets of the region towards advancing social development for the remaining Plan period. The CV RDP’s social development chapters include boosting health, improving education and lifelong learning, establishing livable communities, strengthening social protection, increasing income-earning ability, and expanding and upgrading social infrastructure.

In a bid to increase the employability of 4Ps beneficiaries, the body also endorsed the 4Ps Regional Advisory Council (RAC) Resolution No. 2, which enjoins regional line agencies, local government units, and other government instrumentalities to consider the hiring of qualified 4Ps beneficiaries for government internship, job order, or contract of service positions.

SDC Co-Chair and DSWD Regional Director Lucia S. Alan presided over the meeting.
