The Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) is a government owned and controlled corporation with an original charter under Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 205, as amended by P.D. No. 1061, and further amended by Executive Order No. 288.
Under P.D. No. 205, the DAP is mandated to:
Generate pioneering, value-adding, synergistic ideas, concepts, principles, techniques and technologies addressing development problems of local, national and international significance.
Capacitate individuals and development stakeholder organizations in government, the private sector, civil society, academe, and international organizations to perform their respective roles and mandates in development more efficiently and effectively.
Promote partnerships and facilitate the integration of policies, plans, programs, and systems towards a holistic perspective, through the conduct of training, education, policy/action-oriented researches, consulting/technical assistance, and publications in good governance and productivity improvement.
With the issuance of Executive Order No. 45 s. 2023 on October 25, 2023, the DAP is now attached to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) for policy coordination, strengthening its programs, research, and alignment with the national socioeconomic agenda.
The Development Academy of the Philippines started with the story of two men who got together on a rainy afternoon in Tagaytay City.
Freshly retired Education Secretary Onofre D. Corpuz and then Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) Chairman Leonides S. Virata motored to Tagaytay City after a fiesta lunch in Silang, Cavite. Chairman Virata showed Dr. Corpuz the site of the DBP training facility started by the latter's predecessor, Gregorio S. Licaros. Since Chairman Virata did not want the training center to be exclusively for DBP, he asked Dr. Corpuz for ideas on how best to maximize the use of the facility.
It was five months after the declaration of Martial Law. If the military had the Philippine Military Academy (PMA) as their school for their officers, there ought to be a development-oriented academy for the civilian bureaucracy. There was thinking and talk about development, the need for a generation of leaders with new development perspectives, and the need for new technologies to support development programs. Dr. Corpuz suggested the creation of an institution to provide all these. The idea captured the interest of Chairman Virata and both agreed to work for its realization.
Dr. Corpuz assembled a team of young professionals, headed by Horacio “Boy” R. Morales, who held lengthy discussions in his office at the Mirasol Building in front of the Philippine General Hospital where they came up with the concept, organization and programs of what later became the DAP. Chairman Virata, on the other hand, discussed the idea and convinced the heads of government financial institutions (GFIs) about the soundness of the venture.
DBP Chairman Leonides S. Virata, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director-General Gerardo P. Sicat, Social Security System (SSS) Administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Central Bank of the Philippines Governor Gregorio S. Licaros, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President and General-Manager Roman Cruz, Jr., and Philippine National Bank (PNB) President Panfilo O. Domingo signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) wherein they agreed to establish the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) as their joint project.
The proponents of the establishment of the DAP went to see the President of the Philippines who, after having seen the value of the idea, signed and issued Presidential Decree No. 205 formally creating the DAP.
The President of the Philippines traveled to the newly constructed training facility in Tagaytay City to formally inaugurate what is now the Development Academy of the Philippines.

RE:GOVUnofficial concept30 pages reimagined from dap.edu.ph by an AI agent · not affiliated with DAP · Filipino text machine-translated by Muse SparkOfficial site ↗ReportFeedbackAng Development Academy of the Philippines bilang isang national productivity organization mula noong 1973, na itinatag sa ilalim ng Presidential Decree No. 205.
Ang Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) ay isang government owned and controlled corporation na may orihinal na charter sa ilalim ng Presidential Decree (P.D.) No. 205, na sinususugan ng P.D. No. 1061, at sinususugan pa ng Executive Order No. 288.
Sa ilalim ng P.D. No. 205, ang DAP ay may mandato na:
Bumuo ng mga bago, may dagdag na halaga, at magkakaugnay na ideya, konsepto, prinsipyo, pamamaraan at teknolohiya na tumutugon sa mga problema sa kaunlaran na may lokal, pambansa at internasyonal na kahalagahan.
Bigyan ng kakayahan ang mga indibidwal at mga organisasyong katuwang sa kaunlaran sa pamahalaan, pribadong sektor, civil society, akademya, at mga internasyonal na organisasyon upang magampanan nila ang kani-kanilang tungkulin at mandato sa kaunlaran nang mas mahusay at epektibo.
Itaguyod ang mga partnership at padaliin ang pagsasama-sama ng mga polisiya, plano, programa, at sistema tungo sa isang holistic na pananaw, sa pamamagitan ng training, edukasyon, mga pananaliksik na nakatuon sa polisiya/aksyon, consulting/technical assistance, at mga publikasyon tungkol sa good governance at pagpapabuti ng productivity.
Sa paglabas ng Executive Order No. 45 s. 2023 noong Oktubre 25, 2023, ang DAP ay naka-attach na ngayon sa National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) para sa policy coordination, upang palakasin ang mga programa nito, pananaliksik, at pagtutugma sa pambansang socioeconomic agenda.
Ang Development Academy of the Philippines ay nagsimula sa kuwento ng dalawang lalaki na nagkita isang maulang hapon sa Tagaytay City.
Ang bagong retiradong Kalihim ng Edukasyon na si Onofre D. Corpuz at ang noo'y Chairman ng Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) na si Leonides S. Virata ay nagpunta sa Tagaytay City matapos ang isang fiesta lunch sa Silang, Cavite. Ipinakita ni Chairman Virata kay Dr. Corpuz ang lugar ng DBP training facility na sinimulan ng nauna sa kanya na si Gregorio S. Licaros. Dahil ayaw ni Chairman Virata na para lamang sa DBP ang training center, tinanong niya si Dr. Corpuz ng mga ideya kung paano pinakamahusay na magagamit ang pasilidad.
Limang buwan ito matapos ang deklarasyon ng Martial Law. Kung ang militar ay may Philippine Military Academy (PMA) bilang paaralan ng kanilang mga opisyal, dapat ay may development-oriented na academy para sa civilian bureaucracy. May pag-iisip at usapan tungkol sa kaunlaran, sa pangangailangan ng bagong henerasyon ng mga lider na may bagong pananaw sa kaunlaran, at sa pangangailangan ng mga bagong teknolohiya upang suportahan ang mga programa sa kaunlaran. Iminungkahi ni Dr. Corpuz ang paglikha ng isang institusyon upang maibigay ang lahat ng ito. Nakuha ng ideya ang interes ni Chairman Virata at pareho silang nagkasundo na magtulungan para maisakatuparan ito.
Bumuo si Dr. Corpuz ng grupo ng mga batang propesyonal, sa pangunguna ni Horacio “Boy” R. Morales, na nagsagawa ng mahahabang talakayan sa kanyang opisina sa Mirasol Building sa harap ng Philippine General Hospital kung saan nabuo nila ang konsepto, organisasyon at mga programa ng kalauna'y naging DAP. Si Chairman Virata naman ay nakipag-usap at kinumbinsi ang mga pinuno ng government financial institutions (GFIs) tungkol sa kahusayan ng proyektong ito.
Nilagdaan nina DBP Chairman Leonides S. Virata, National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director-General Gerardo P. Sicat, Social Security System (SSS) Administrator Gilberto Teodoro, Central Bank of the Philippines Governor Gregorio S. Licaros, Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) President at General-Manager Roman Cruz, Jr., at Philippine National Bank (PNB) President Panfilo O. Domingo ang isang Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) kung saan sumang-ayon silang itatag ang Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) bilang kanilang pinagsamang proyekto.
Nagpunta ang mga nagsusulong ng pagtatatag ng DAP sa Pangulo ng Pilipinas na, matapos makita ang halaga ng ideya, ay lumagda at naglabas ng Presidential Decree No. 205 na pormal na lumilikha sa DAP.
Nagpunta ang Pangulo ng Pilipinas sa bagong tayong training facility sa Tagaytay City upang pormal na pasinayaan ang ngayo'y Development Academy of the Philippines.
