The content of RDA is divided into two parts: Part 1 is for recording attributes of entities and Part 2 for recording relationships with entities; entities being the author, the work, publisher, expression, object, etc.
Here's the link to the Joint Steering Committe RDA page, this one for screenshots of how the RDA structure looks like, and this one describing the structure, content and development process of RDA.
So with the implementation of RDA in 2010, Filipino cataloguers are in for a lot of training (look forward to that as I will next year). Library and information science teachers will also be busy because the LIS curriculum will need to be revised to include RDA, so yes they also need to attend the training sessions. And not to mention a lot of echo sessions to pass on the learning. Do I hear the coffers of library organizations clinking?
