Regional Development Councils (RDCs) are the highest policy-making body governing the administrative regions of the Philippines. They serve as the subnational counterpart of the National Economic and Development Authority.[1] All but two (Metro Manila and Bangsamoro) of the Philippines 17 regions has a Regional Development Council[2] although Metro Manila has a metropolitan body which serves the same function as an RDC. Bangsamoro, an autonomous region, also has its own equivalent to a RDC.

Metro Manila is recognized in law as a "special development and administrative region," and was thus given a metropolitan authority;[3] the Metro Manila Council within the MMDA serves as the National Capital Region's RDC.[1] The defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao's (ARMM) equivalent of an RDC was the Regional Economic and Development Planning Board.[4]

Under the Bangsamoro Organic Law, Bangsamoro is mandated to maintain the Bangsamoro Economic and Development Council (BEDC) which serves as the autonomous region's equivalent of an RDC.[5]
