Cagayan de oro: The Regional Development Council in Northern Mindanao (RDC-10) has elected new officers and refined its medium-term plans, aligning them with the national “Ambisyon Natin 2040” vision. During a consultation on Tuesday, the RDC-10 updated its Northern Mindanao Regional Development Plan for 2023-2028 to ensure the region’s strategies remain closely aligned with Ambisyon Natin 2040 and the Philippine Development Plan 2023-2028.
