File photo May 30, 2021 ON MARCH 25, 2021, the bill creating the Metropolitan Davao Development Authority (MDDA) was passed on the third and final reading following the deliberations of the House of Representatives.
The bill, which aims to focus on the socio-economic opportunities for the entire Davao Region, was hurried and unhampered amid the ongoing crisis brought about by the Covid-19.
Davao City Third District Representative Isidro Ungab, proponent of the bill, bared this proposal during his oath-taking speech on June 21, 2019, at the Sangguniang Panlungsod.
Ungab said his proposal for a metropolitan area would further unite all Davao provinces into one region.
