A RESOLUTION AFFIRMING OUR SUPPORT AND COMMITMENT FOR THE LEAGUE OF CITIES OF THE PHILIPPINES (LCP) AND THE UNITED NATIONS’ JOINT ADVOCACY IN THE ATTAINMENT OF THE EIGHT (8) MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDGs) BY THE YEAR 2015, THAT WILL AT LEAST ENSURE THAT DEVELOPMENT INITIATIVES ARE EFFECTIVELY ERADICATING POVERTY AND PROMOTING SUSTAINABLE HUMAN DEVELOPMENT.

WHEREAS, in September 2000, one hundred and eighty-nine (189) UN member-countries -- rich and poor alike -- reaffirmed their commitment to peace and security, good governance, and attention to the most vulnerable with the adoption of the Millennium Declaration;

WHEREAS, the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of eight time-bound, concrete and specific targets aimed at significantly reducing, if not decisively eradicating poverty, by the year 2015:

WHEREAS, containing commitments to achieve the eight MDGs and the specific targets under them by 2015, the Millennium Declaration reflects the vision of entire nations, working together with international and country-based organizations, to wipe out poverty and the worst forms of human deprivation, and lay the foundations for sustainable human development by the year 2015;

WHEREAS, the overarching need is to ensure that the MDGs are integrated into and given top priority in each committed country's development planning efforts: with efficient monitoring, localization, and advocacy systems put in place; crucial financing secured; multi-sectoral support mobilized; and an enabling environment created with an MDG-responsive policy framework and legislation;

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED to affirm as it hereby affirms our support and commitment for the League of Cities of The Philippines (LCP) and the UNITED NATIONS’ joint advocacy in the attainment of the eight (8) Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by the Year 2015, that will at least ensure that development initiatives are effectively eradicating poverty and promoting sustainable human development.

Adopted on motion of Hon. Eddie P. Villalon, seconded by Hon. Gilda F. Crsime, Hon. Johnny A. Gabriel, Hon. Alfonso A. Francisco, Hon. Romeo B. Torres, Jr. and Hon. Ned N. Zamora.
