The first Regional Physical Framework Plan (RPFP) of Eastern Visayas was prepared in 1993 and covered the period 1993 to 2022. It was prepared along with a similar physical framework plan at the national level to guide the allocation, utilization, and management of the region's natural endowment.
This RPFP is the first revision of the original plan and c?vers the period 2005 to 2030. The updating is necessary since many developments have taken place which have significant impact on the utility of the plan. Certain events have altered or modified the policy environment that were not adequately foreseen or anticipated in the previous plan.
