EXECUTIVE ORDER NO. 427 -
CREATING A PRESIDENTIAL TASK FORCE FOR THE INTEGRATED DEVELOPMENT OF
THE CAGAYAN VALLEY
WHEREAS,
the Cagayan Valley covers a large area that has remained comparatively
unresponsive to government efforts at integrated national development;
WHEREAS, this region can not be indefinitely excluded from the

have indicated their readiness to establish their businesses in the
Cagayan Valley should adequate government support and participation be
provided;

forces and Maoist rebels cannot secure peace and order, both
indispensable bases for growth.
