The Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board (HLURB) celebrated its 31st Founding Anniversary last May 13, 2007. To mark this year’s anniversary celebration, the agency held a Real Estate Development Award’s Day in recognition of outstanding private companies involved in housing.

As the anniversary fell on a Sunday and May 14 was Election Day, the management handed out the awards on May 17 in a simple rites held at the Rembrandt Hotel, Quezon City. The event coincided with the Board’s Regional Planning Conference.

As part of HLURB’s continuing efforts to respond to national policy issuances and feedback from LGUs and other stakeholders, the Board approved the VOLUME I, A GUIDE TO COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE PLAN PREPARATION through the Resolution No. 789 on 16 February 2006. The new GUIDE is the result of the review of the 10-volume Guidelines on the Formulation and Revision of CLUPs and Planning Strategically, with the intention of integrating the same and to come up with a more user-friendly guidebook.


How the Guidebook was Developed

This Guide was developed for LGUs and was formulated with their genuine participation, through the various consultative meetings/workshops and surveys conducted nationwide. It is structured to provide the users with detailed and logical planning procedures aimed at ensuring a balanced and harmonious development of resources towards achieving an improved quality of life as defined in the vision.

The Award was presented at the ESRI’s 26th Annual User Conference held in San Diego, August 7–11, and is being given to users around the world in recognition of their outstanding work in the GIS field.
It is a significant evidence of HLURB’s continuous effort to encourage the LGUs in the Philippines to use effective planning tools such as GIS. The Conference is a massive gathering of GIS practitioners all over the world and was attended by more than 14,000 attendees from more than 180 countries. During the Conference, the Project Leader, Ms. Ulep read a paper and there was also a display about the Project.
A ‘coincidence’ is that the Project Technical Adviser, Mr. Kjorneberg from Swedesurvey, has assisted not only the award winner HLURB but also Buffalo City Municipality that was awarded last year.
