HAUNTED BY PLANS & PROJECTS PAST:Lessons for Rebuilding After Ondoy

Have you ever wondered why many "good" plans never make it to implementation? Do you want to find out why the Philippines is said to be good in planning, but bad in implementation?

Or, is it really true that the problem with Metro Manila or the Philippines in general is that "there is NO PLANNING?"

To find out, please join us on Monday, October 26, 2-5 PM as the Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners, together with the Ateneo School of Government present "Haunted by Plans and Projects Past: Lessons for Rebuilding After Ondoy"






Philippine Institute of Environmental Planners (PIEP), together with the Ateneo School of Government (ASoG) present "Haunted by Plans and Projects Past: Lessons for Rebuilding After Ondoy"

Date:	Monday, 26 October 2009
Time:	14:00 - 17:30
Location:	UP School of Urban and Regional Planning
Street:	E Jacinto Street, UP Diliman
Town/City:	Quezon City, Philippines

Please come, even if you are not a "planner." Especially if you are NOT a planner. Planning is too important to leave up to planners alone.

PIEP and ASoG invite you to a presentation of Metro Manila plans. Former DPWH Undersecretary Teodoro Encarnacion will share his memories of these plans and their outcome. A must listen for those who wish to move forward and not repeat the mistakes of the past.

"He who does not remember history is condemned to repeat it" - Georges Santayana

The PIEP is committed to letting the public in on how we could all benefit from planning processes (instead of looking at plans as static documents) to effectively bring us to a better future.
