    Region IV as part of said plan. All local governments in Palawan and the

    have the following features:

    1. Ecological viability — The physical and biological cycles that maintain the
    productivity of natural ecosystems must always be kept intact;

    2. Social acceptability — The people themselves, through participatory


    processes, should be fully committed to support sustainable development
    activities by fostering equity in access to resources and the benefits derived
    from them; and

    3. Integrated approach — This allows for a holistic view of problems and


    issues obtaining in the environment as well as opportunities for coordination
    and sharing that will eventually provide the resources and political will to
    actually implement and sustain SEP activities.
