To sustain and even accelerate this growth, the national strategy is to pole vault socio-economic development to meet the challenges of the third millennium.

To complement the developments in the private business and industry considered to be the strong factor in the dramatic turnaround of the Philippine economy, the policies and strategies that provided this growth should be sustained and strengthened. The need is to redirect and reorient the various human resources of the government to the future requirements of growth through creativity, innovativeness, entrepreneurship and self-initiative  for a more integrative government delivery systems, supported  with the latest state of the art of information technology.
