History

Republic Act No. 7820

Partido Development Administration was founded on November 18, 1994, through the Republic Act No. 7820 known as the "Partido Development Administration Act of 1994". [2] Some sources indicate that it was enacted on July 25, 1994. [3]

The need to orchestrate the development efforts within the district was clearly recognized by Cong. Arnulfo P. Fuentebella and overwhelmingly supported by the local executives and officials. House Bill No. 11526 was sponsored by Cong. Fuentebella proposing for the creation of the Partido Development Authority. The assistance of the National Economic and Development Authority Regional Office 5 was sought to help in the conduct of consultative meetings with the different local government units and private sector representatives. The main output is the Land Use Plan of the District. [3]

With a corporate personality, PDA has been mandated to discharge the following functions and powers:

  1. encourage the creation of economic zones and/or industrial estates
  2. contract foreign and/or local loans and receive grants to implement programs
  3. undertake measures to source out funds for the district's program
  4. formulate and implement a comprehensive and integrated development program for the district
  5. conduct inventory of resources
  6. pass over all plans and projects proposed by LGUs and public agencies and private enterprises
  7. recommend policies and programs affecting the area
  8. promote investments for the area [2]

On December 31, 2000, Republic Act No. 8989 was enacted making amends to Republic Act No. 7820. [4]
