Did you know: Community Development Day

Community Development Day is observed every Jan. 6 by virtue of Proclamation No. 341 signed on Dec. 24, 1964 by then President Diosdado Macapagal.

The Community Development Program was designed to create and provide opportunities and conditions in which barrio folk can improve their communities.

Community Development Day highlights the need to impress upon people living in the barrio the value and significance of community development in improving their lives. —Marielle Medina, Inquirer Research
