Regional Population Office No. 9
2011 Annual Report

The implementation of the Philippine Population Management Program in Zamboanga Peninsula was challenged by some breakthroughs and issues to which Regional Population Office no. 9 (RPO 9) responded to with positivism.
The implementation of the Responsible Parenting Movement (RPM) Classes shifted its priority beneficiaries to Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps) couples.

Therefore, RPO 9 engaged with the regional office of the Department of Social Welfare and Development through the signing of the memorandum of agreement on the conditions in the conduct of the RPM classes during the Family Development Session module 5.
The incessant debate on the Reproductive Health Bill demanded for the massive information dessimination on its content and rationale among stakeholders and the general public. Several media fora and orientations were conducted to clarify the provisions of the House Bill 4244.
All projects and activities implemented during the year addressed the policy directions set by the Central Office. It was also complemented by continuous sustenance of coordinative mechanisms with the local government units, partner government agencies and other stakeholders.
