Office of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors are the policy making

body of Tandag City Water District. They are the ones

who collectively direct the company’s affair. Though

each of them brought different professional expertise,

knowledge and experience on the table, all of them

are working together towards the achievement of the

district’s vision and mission.

In FY 2019, the Board of Directors had

approved and implemented thirty seven (37) Board

Resolutions. While most of them were bank

transactions related, some were for human resource

actions and water safety and development plan.

The board also never forget to show their

humanitarian ways. By doing an act of kindness, they

approved to give a donation to other water district

who became victims of the 6.6 magnitude earthquake

that hit Southern and Central Mindanao last October

2019.

Also, they had formulated several resolutions

that support the present administration. One of which

is the strong implementation of a Drug Free

Workplace Program. Said program started off with the

conduct of a mandatory random drug testing of TCWD officials and employees, pursuant to the Civil

Service Commission Memorandum Circular No. 13, S. 2017.

The board isn’t just mere formulations of policies and resolutions. They also have to ensure that

expertise and knowledge are being updated from time to time to suit the changing demands of the

society. Hence, they have attended several forums, conventions and seminars like Basic Policy Makers

Seminar, Philippine Association of Water District Convention and Convergence, Forum on LWUA’s

Financing Policies, Non-Revenue Water Seminar, Mindanao Association of Water Districts Forum, and

the like.

Office of the General Manager

The change in management brought big positive

changes in TCWD. First, an Executive Committee was

formed as an executive body who ensure that rules and

regulations are consistent with the standards of the

government. The establishment of four separate new

units, namely, the (1) Records Unit, (2) Procurement Unit,

(3) General Services Unit, and (4) IT and Networking Unit,

was also made to match the current needs of the GOCC.

Corporate social responsibility was also built-up

in FY 2019. The management began supporting the Blood

Donation Program of the Department of Health and

Coastal Clean-Up Programs of LGU-Tandag. Care for

water meters and Brigada Eskwela programs were also

continued to provide a constructive social value to our

consumers.

Strengthening of ties between employees and

other local water districts was also adhered. The TCWD

joined the MAWD Sportsfest in Cagayan de Oro and

SURWADA Sportsfest in Hinatuan, Surigao del Sur where

we polished as overall champion in the competition.

Family Day activity was also initiated pursuant to CSC

Announcement No. 53, S. 2019 to cultivate our employee

as one TCWD family and push their limits to soar higher.

Several water development projects were also

implemented to provide water security to our consumers

especially during the long dry season. To top it off, the

management had started the construction/installation of

a sump tank with booster pump house at Brgy. Telaje in

order to boost the existing water supply of the elevated

areas in the locality.



Aside from the routinary document

preparations like Transmittals, Memorandas,

Office Orders, Certifications, Travel Orders,

Itineraries and Liquidations of Travel, the OGM

also prepared and assisted in several report

preparations like the Annual Report,

Bacteriological Test Report, Water District Profile

Report, Project Accomplishment Report, Water

Source Data Report, Quarterly Performance

Monitoring Report, Philippine Ground Database

Bank Updating, Annual Procurement Plan and

Freedom of Information Reports. Manuals like

Operations Manual and People’s Freedom of

Information Manual were also prepared in this unit

as with Memorandum of Agreements between

agencies, and Gender and Development Survey

Forms.

Although there were challenging times,

where calamities and unforeseen events poke our

office, the management was able to overcome it

by minimizing the impact of uncertainty and

handling it with utmost dedication to public service.



Procurement Unit

As a general rule, all procurement should be done through Competitive Bidding.

The district being a GOCC has a threshold of 1,000,000.00. Procurements or projects equivalent or above the threshold are subject for public bidding.

But above 50,000.00 and below 1M, the BAC will post the requirements to PhilGEPS to up to 7 days.

General Services Unit

The General Services Unit is a new unit created in 2019. This unit is in-charge in the cleanliness,

sanitation and security in the workplace.

IT and Networking Unit

The IT and Networking Unit is responsible in maintaining the computer hardware, software and

network interface of the office. Hence, this unit had overseen user access to the network, maintained a

back-up file for all users, and had troubleshot and repaired several IT equipment over the year 2019.

In addition, this unit was also tasked to prepare the billing invoices of consumers and service

connection reports monthly.

Property and Supplies Unit

The Property and Supplies Unit is responsible for administering and managing the proper

accounting, utilization, maintenance and disposing of all TCWD property, plant and equipment.

By the end of FY 2019, the Property and Supplies Unit had issued 3,490 Store Requisition Slip

and 170 Inspection Reports. Aside from that, this unit had prepared and submitted the Monthly Fuel

Consumption Report, Annual Procurement Plan for Common Supplies and Agency Procurement

Requests to the Department of Budget and Management.

Moreover, physical inventory of all TCWD Property, Plant and Equipment is being conducted

annually in order to ensure the integrity of property custodianship and confirm the existence of

property that may serve as basis in the preparation of accounting reports.



Cash Management Unit

Cash Management requires a practical approach and a strong base to determine the

requirement of cash by the organization to meet its daily expenses. Our management needs to ensure

that there is adequate cash to meet the current obligations while making sure that there are no idle

funds. Hence, TCWD have formalized process for collecting accounts receivable as well as strategies for

spotting potential cash flow issues and addressing them before they become detrimental to the

business.

Accounting and Finance Unit

The Accounting and Finance Unit of Tandag City Water District continues its function as the internal

auditor and the stewards of maintaining the finances, budget and adherence to the rules and

regulations of the state. We will continue to make more research regarding how to properly dispose of

government funds and to execute it properly. It is not easy but doable. The following were the

accomplishments of our unit for the year 2019, to wit:

1. All of the payments made were properly secured with the BUDGET UTILIZATION REQUEST AND

STATUS (BURS). We started to use the BUR since 2018 but was fully accomplished and utilized in

the year 2019. This will make the District’s Division Managers more aware of the utilization of

the budget.

2. All of the BURS were recorded at the REGISTRY OF BUDGET UTILIZATION AND DISBURSEMENTS

(RBUD). This is the report that will determine the totality of Budget that has been utilized and

paid. This report also shows the remaining unpaid obligations during the period.

3. Any adjustments to the BURS like refund of cash advance, erroneous BURS and the like were

properly secured with the NOTICE OF BUDGET UTILIZATION REQUEST AND STATUS AND

ADJUSTMENTS (NBURSA).

4. We also implemented the ORDER OF PAYMENT (OP) for collections like sale of bidding

documents, refund of excess cash advance, refund of audit disallowances and other collections

other than consumers’ payment.

5. In every Disbursement we attached a CHECKLIST, a checklist of supporting documents, to ensure

that the payments are in accordance with the rules and regulations.

6. Almost all the monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports were properly submitted. But,

there were times that delay may occur because of some unseen factors but eventually we

submitted those reports.

7. We implemented the use of the new format of the DIBURSEMENT VOUCHERS wherein the

Division Managers should sign on the Box A to certify payment is necessary, lawful and incurred

under his/her direct supervision.

8. Our unit also implemented the proper use of the BUDGET UTILIZATION REQUEST AND STATUS.

We obligate the transaction only if there is a perfected contract or purchase orders.

9. We adopted since 2017 the COA Circular 2017-004 dated December 13, 2017 regarding the

guidelines on the preparation financial statements and other financial reports and

implementation of the Philippine Financial Reporting Standards by Government Corporations



classified as Government Business Enterprise and Philippine Public Sector Accounting Standards

by Non-government Business Enterprises.

10. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT LEDGER CARD (PPELC) had been prepared to properly

record the purchased, maintenance and depreciation of all of District’s PPE’s. In the past, there

was no physical record regarding the PPE’s of the District. So, in maintaining PPELC this might

help in the material problem of the District.

11. All our accounting entries were properly supported by JOURNAL ENTRY VOUCHERS.

12. Our unit prepared and conducted the establishment of GENDER AND DEVELOPMENT

DATABASE. We created the GAD survey form for organizational focus and conducted the survey

to all the employees of the District. With the results were in, we made an analysis and created

the DISTRICT’S GAD SEX DISAGGREGATED DATA FOR 2019.

13. We also implemented the use of REPORT OF DISBURSEMENTas the proper document in

liquidating special cash advances other cash advances for travel.

Our unit will continue to improve our function and conduct more research and training for year

2020 and thereafter.

On the other hand, in the period of 6 years, the District’s net income has generated a total of P

94,856,692.40 with an average net income per year of P15,809,448.73.

Production Unit

The rise of economic development in Tandag City

turns to be directly proportional to the demand of water

supply that the district should produce. In turn, the

Tandag City Water District has faced different dilemmas

for the year 2019. Periodically, the water quality and

production unit has done many activities thrust for the

improvement of our water supply systems aross the city.

It was on the last quarter of the year when some

pumping stations was not operational due to major

problems, but on the month of October, a rehabilitation

of Awasian Pumping Station 1 and cleaning of collection

well by air lift was done for its maintenance while

rehabilitation of Quezon Pumping Station 2 and cleaning

of collection well through air lifting was completed to

increase the recharge of the well and supply an ample

amount of water and rehabilitation of the first chamber

of Awasian Aeration facility for maintenance was done

Watershed Management Unit

The Watershed Management Unit is

responsible in the stewardship of the 786 hectares

of land area, known as the Ihawan Spring

Community Watershed, at Brgy. Awasian, Tandag

City.

Duty-bounded in maintaining the health

and integrity of the watershed as source of

domestic water, the watershed team regularly

monitors the area through constant foot patrol,

thereby, minimizing illegal logging activities.

Effective in guarding the said area, the unit had

tallied only one (1) illegal cutting act in FY 2019.

This unit also facilitated the World Water

Day activity last March 22, 2019. Being advocates

of environmental protection, the unit conducted a

tree planting activity as well as cleaning of the

creeks and dams located at Ihawan Spring

Community Watershed, Brgy. Awasian, Tandag

City, for a sustainable management of the water

resources.

Nevertheless, the continued Reforestration

and Regreening Program were maintained by this

unit. The plant nursery was sufficiently cared for as

seedlings were well-nurtured and well-cultivated.
