On 23 October 2020, LCP Vice-President for Luzon and Balanga City Mayor Francis Garcia formally opened the webinar called "Promoting Interlocal Cooperation in the Manila Bay Master Plan" and highlighted the benefits of collaboration in increasing the capacities of LGUs to execute and roll out the said master plan.
The online session is part of the “Governance of Inclusive Green Growth in Cities” or "DEALS Programme," a five-year project of VNG International that aims to support the transition of fast-growing cities to inclusive and sustainable development.
In the Philippines, the DEALS Programme is implemented by VNG International in partnership with the League of Cities of the Philippines, with funding by the Dutch government.
