On September 23, 2010 the MCC signed a five-year, $434 million compact with the Philippines. The compact is intended to support reforms and investments to modernize the Bureau of Internal Revenue, expand and improve a community-driven development project, Kalahi-CIDSS, and rehabilitate a secondary national road in Samar province.
