– MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR
As we set our eyes on the Province’s great future, focused on Putting People First, we recognize that meaningful and lasting change is only possible with sound development planning strategies formulated on the basis of relevent and accurate data. The preparation and updating of Socio-Economic Profile 2022 provides a sound basis for the formulation of our local government’s economic development thrusts, policies and plans towards targeted solutions for the challenges we face, and the creation of new and better opportunities for our citizens.
On behalf of the people of Bulacan, we are deeply grateful for this commendable work of our Provincial Planning and Development Office in collaboration with the 24 Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators whose competence and commitment ensured the success of this undertaking.
May we always be guided by the ultimate goal of our various programs that is, the uplift of our people’s quality of life and the achievement of a sustainable future for all.
Mabuhay ang dakilang lalawigan ng Bulacan!
