It now includes a total of 7,498 programs and projects (PAPs), reflecting the region’s development agenda across key sectors.
Of the total PAPs, 242 have been completed, while 982 are currently being implemented. The remaining 6,274 PAPs are proposed for implementation by 2027 or 2028.
By sector, social development accounts for the largest share, with 4,119 PAPs focused on improving education, health, and social protection services.
Infrastructure development follows with 2,417 PAPs, highlighting the region’s continued push to expand and upgrade its physical infrastructure and improve connectivity, logistics, and basic facilities.
The economic development sector comprises 503 PAPs aimed at modernizing agriculture and agribusiness, strengthening food security, promoting trade and investments, and advancing research, technology, and innovation.
Meanwhile, remaining PAPs support climate action and disaster resilience, as well as initiatives to promote good governance.
The midterm-updated CLIP 2023—2028 will serve as a key reference in reviewing the fiscal year 2027 budget proposals of line agencies in Central Luzon to ensure that funded projects are aligned with the region’s medium-term development plans and strategic priorities.
