The 18th Central Luzon Regional Development Council (RDC) convened its Fourth Quarter 2025 Full Council Meeting today at the Royce Hotel in Clark, Pampanga. The Department of Tourism Region III (DOT-III) participated alongside regional directors and representatives from various national government agencies as the Council addressed priority concerns and updates affecting regional growth.

This was followed by the oath-taking of newly designated Private Sector Representatives (PSRs) and the formal installation of Chairs and Co-Chairs for the RDC III Sectoral Committees. The Council then proceeded with extensive discussions on six major agenda items, including the confirmation of committee leadership and the mid-term assessment of the Central Luzon Investment Program 2023–2028, both of which are instrumental in guiding the region’s development trajectory.

In alignment with these regional efforts, DOT-III reiterates its commitment to advancing tourism programs that empower local communities, enhance the region’s competitiveness, and promote sustainable economic development. The Department will continue to work closely with RDC III and partner agencies to support well-coordinated initiatives that drive inclusive growth and contribute to the long-term progress and resilience of Central Luzon.
