The City Consultation was held in Tagaytay on November 17-19, 1999, when ninety-nine participants from various sectors participated, including heads of departments of the city government to review the LEP and prioritise the way forward, including a city “vision”; an event that was well covered by the local media.
A Consultation Organizing Team (COT) was mobilized to prepare for the consultation, who asked local resource persons to prepare proposition papers on the following priory environmental issues: land use conversion, servicing unplanned settlements, managing recreation and green space development, solid waste management, and water resource management. A paper on the institutional framework was also presented during a plenary session of the City Consultation, making various recommendations to work in a more cross-sectoral and participatory manner. Brainstorming and strategizing on each issue was done in small groups. A visioning exercise was done at the end where the participants committed themselves to support the project by signing an Environmental Manifesto. In addition, Issue Task Forces for each of the priotized issues were established as to facilitate the follow-up activities for strategy formulation and action planning.
