The Council also received updates on the DILG XI Capacity Development Analytics System (CapDevAS), the implementation of the Local Government Code Review and Amendment Program (LGC RevAmp), among others. Members were likewise briefed on AMUMA 2.0, and the inclusion of new member agencies to the RCGLG.
