Naga City Immersion Program

This lakbay aral, or study tour, allows participants to explore how Naga City has earned their reputation of being a model for good governance. As the heart of the Bicol Region, Naga is more than just a case study. It is a dynamic city that continuously works to develop innovative governance processes and systems.


Jesse M. Robredo Center for Good Governance

This program is organized in partnership with the Jesse M. Robredo Center for Good Governance (JMR Center). The JMR Center was established in 2009, originally as the Naga City Governance Institute, and was renamed in 2013 to honor the former Naga City Mayor and DILG Secretary. The JMR Center is an agency of the city government and aims to promote the replication and scale of the metro area's best practices.
