President Benigno S. Aquino III has appointed Capiz Governor Victor Tanco and Ma. Luisa Segovia of the Iloilo Business Club as chairman and co-chairman of the Regional Development Council (RDC) in Western Visayas, respectively.
Information from the Knowledge Management Division of the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) disclosed the news upon receipt of an Omnibus Appointment Letter sent by the Malacanang to Secretary Cayetano Paderanga Jr. and was forwarded to Director Ro-Ann Bacal here Monday.
“I look forward to working with Governor Tanco and Ms. Segovia in effectively steering the RDC-VI towards the development of Western Visayas (Region VI) for the benefit of its people,†Bacal who is the head of the technical secretariat of the RDC said.
The RDC is composed of the governors of the region, city mayors and mayors of capital towns, presidents of the League of Municipalities, selected regional directors of national line agencies and private sector representatives.
Tanco and Segovia were nominated during the RDC meeting held last Sept. 3.
