says DILG Assistant Secretary
shift - DILG
Jonathan E. Malaya.
By DILG
QUEZON CITY-- Calabarzon
is fully equipped to handle its
own shift to a federal form of
government, according to the
Department of the Interior and
Local Government (DILG).

“Given the region’s
expanding
and
highly
competitive
economic
environment,
the
local
government units (LGUs)
of Calabarzon can walk
gracefully
through
the
transition into federalism,”

Driven
by
strong
manufacturing
and
construction, the economy
of Calabarzon accelerated to
6.7% in 2017 from the 4.8%
growth in 2016, data from the
Philippine Statistics Authority
(PSA) show.
Meanwhile,
