Barangay Development Plan (BDP)
- A Barangay Development Plan is a 3-year comprehensive multi-sectoral development plan that
is put together through an inclusive and participatory approach headed by its development
council and approved by its sanggunian. It is an official document of the baranagay that
specifies policy options, programs, projects and activities that are intended to contribute to the
over-all achievement of the barangay’s development goals and objectives. Every barangay has a
profile that shows us its current situation as well as its history. A barangay profile shows
prevailing issues and concerns in the locality that serve as data in the formulation of a BDP. A
plan with a budget therefore is the very way we bring down services to the grassroots level in
order for their constituents to know that their government is working for them.
