CITY OF ILAGAN, Isabela: Isabela Gov. Rodolfo Albano 3rd described the inclusion of Isabela and Cagayan for the war exercises under the Enhanced Defense Cooperation Agreement (EDCA) as "beneficial" and "a big help" despite opposition from Cagayan Gov. Manuel Mamba.

"The EDCA expansion will be a driver of progress and development, hopefully, in Isabela and the entire region, and we should make the most out of it," Albano said at the Regional Development Council meeting here on Wednesday.
