The Sisterhood Agreement between Cebu and Bohol could help transform both provinces into national economic powerhouses, not just leaders in the Visayas, Department of Economy, Planning and Development (DEPDEV) Secretary Arsenio Balisacan said during the SugBohol RDC Capacity Building and Networking Fellowship in Panglao, Bohol, on Friday.
Balisacan congratulated the two provincial governments for forging the partnership, saying it reflects their shared commitment to regional development and a common vision for progress.
“My sincerest congratulations on the Sisterhood Agreement, and I second the aspirations of our two governors to transform the performance of the region,” Balisacan said.
He said the initiative could help develop Cebu and Bohol into giants not only in the Visayas but throughout the country.
In her message, Cebu Gov. Pamela Baricuatro said the agreement marks a commitment by both provinces to pursue shared growth and development.
“Through the landmark Sisterhood Agreement signed between the Province of Cebu and the Province of Bohol just this morning, we reaffirm that our destinies are shared. We do not progress in isolation; we advance, build, and thrive together toward a secure and resilient future,” Gov. Baricuatro said.
The governor was optimistic that the partnership, backed by DEPDEV’s expertise in socioeconomic planning and development, would help turn the two provinces’ shared vision into concrete gains.
“When local chief executives, sectoral leaders, and national officials sit at the same table, regional priorities are transformed into actionable, life-changing realities for our people. May this SugBohol Fellowship inspire bold innovations, foster meaningful knowledge exchange, and fortify our shared commitment to a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous Philippines,” she said.
