Message from the Regional Director

Indeed, the year that was proved to be auspicious for DILG-CAR in many ways.

The region is no stranger to victories. For 2011 alone, Local Government Units were awarded Seals of

Good Housekeeping, barangays excelled in peace and order and Lupong Tagapamayapa. It strengthened rela-tions with Non Government Organizations, Civil Society Organizations and People’s Organizations on top of its already robust dealings with the regional line agencies. It is commendable for initiating a recognition program

for Barangay Peace and Order Councils and Barangays themselves with exemplary performances which were well appreciated by barangays and Civil Society Organizations. There were also personnel who were promoted

after tedious screening processes. Total publication of LGU financial status was greatly encouraged when officials interfaced with the Secretary of the Interior and Local Government himself on Full Disclosure Policy. These and many more occupied the time and proved DILG-CAR’s aptitude for excellence.

There were stumbling blocks along the way. But as duty calls, these were made into stepping stones

sturdy enough to make the people of the Cordillera emerge tougher than before. These things did not just hap-pen, of course, everyone worked hard to get these things qualify on the ―list of accomplishments.‖

Our great reward in doing our job well is making new acquaintances as we implemented programs and projects. The greater one is knowing that we were instrumental in making local governance better in the region

thru active participation with Civil Society Organizations. The greatest incentive we could get is that we build castles in heaven for our thankless job.

Congratulations to everyone for being part of a fruitful year.

Message from the Assistant Regional Director

Looking back at what was a challenging year for DILG-CAR, we are pleased that we

have duly accomplished our CY 2011 targets. Our capacity building programs and activities for LGUs enhanced the managerial, administrative and technical capabili-

ties of our local officials and empowered them to serve their constituents more ef-fectively.

To all the staff and field personnel, we are optimistic that renewed focus on our cli-ents’ needs, along with careful execution of our strategy, will further our ability in

realizing our mission of promoting peace and order, ensuring public safety, strengthening capability of local government units through active people participa-tion and a professionalized corps of civil servants.

Let us remain fully committed to increasing the value of our clients’ trust believing

that what matters most is that we put our heart in doing our job.

Mabuhay ang DILG-CAR! God Bless!

Almost two years after the 2010 election, the pro-

gram on the Newly Elected Official (NEO Orientation Train-

ing) is still very much around specially on its demand-driven

components. Before end of 2011, every LGU in the region

has already formulated their duly approved CapDev Agenda

making a 100% accomplishment on submission of the said

document. That means, all the 6 provinces, 75 municipali-

ties, 1 highly urbanized city and 1 component city complied

with DILG MC No. 2007-71 on Harmonizing Development and Implementation of Training Programs for Local Government Units directing them to prepare their Capacity Development

(CapDev) Agenda which shall contain their competency gaps

and needs in local governance areas that require intervention

and which shall be the basis for attendance / participation of

local officials and functionaries to any capacity development

activities. The submission of the said document paved the

way for the successful conduct of the Regional CDEX on Au-

gust 2011.

With the 2010 NEO Program, 65 of the 83 LGUs were

able to formulate their Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA).

Sixty-two (62) LGUs were provided assistance in conducting

their demand driven trainings. Four (4) SCALOG trainings

were also conducted in the provinces of Apayao, Benguet,

Mt. Province and Ifugao.

DILG-CAR conducted a very important activity called the Re-

gional CDEX or the Capacity Development Expo wherein the summary

of the Capacity Development (CapDev) Agenda of all LGUs in the re-

gion were presented and highlighted. It was a venue for the conver-

gence of Capacity Development interventions for the LGUs matching

the supply and demand situation in the region. Through this activity,

service providers and stakeholders like the NGAs, NGOs, CSOs, LRIs,

Academe, Media, and even the LGUs themselves, were given the rare

chance of having a glimpse of the capacity development demands of

local governments (Provinces, Municipalities, City) that resulted to a

more focused and responsive interventions.

The regional CDEX was conducted on August 9, 2011 at the

Senator Nene Pimentel Hall, DILG-CAR Compound, Barangay Center,

Baguio City. For the record, all LGUs in CAR or one hundred percent

(100%) submitted their approved CapDev Agenda prior to the con-

duct of the activity.

All participating NGAs, training institutions, CSOs brought with

them fliers/brochures/info materials of their programs and services

specially on their list of training offerings which the LGUs could avail

to aptly respond to their capacity development needs.

The CDEX was considered as a very fruitful collaboration with

all those who advocate excellence in local governance. One milestone

in the conduct of the CDEX was the forging of a tripartite Memoran-

dum of Agreement (MOA) between and among the DILG-CAR, the

Province of Benguet and the University of the Cordilleras with the pri-

mary aim of fostering advancement in the field of local governance

and public policy making. The ceremonial MOA signing was done on

January27, 2012 at the office of the Provincial Governor of Benguet in

the capital town of La Trinidad.

The latest BNEO Program is titled Laying the Foundation for GRassroots Empowerment for Accountable and Transparent (GREAT) Barangays. It is a local response to the Administration’s call for

―Tapat na Palakad, Bayang Maunlad‖ and anchored on the three ten-

ets of Biyaheng Pinoy namely: 1) Seamless performance that nur-

tures accountability 2) Transparency, sense of ownership and in-

formed decisions through participation and collective action and 3)

Integrity where the people can surely sleep soundly.

With this policy in mind, this capability intervention was car-

ried out by DILG-CAR in its continuing efforts to enhance the profi-

ciency of barangay officials in performing their mandated tasks and

responsibilities in barangay governance.

The program consisted of three (3) components:

Component 1 – Ensuring Smooth Transition, of which 734

barangays completed or 62% of the 1175 barangays in

the region;

Component 2 – Laying the Foundation, wherein 1,153 barangays took part or 98% of all the barangays;

Component 3 – Citizenship Building, and there were 267 barangays or 23% who completed the module;

Component 4 - Sharpening the Saw, where as of Decem-ber 30, 2011, 425 barangays or 36% conducted a demand-driven training.

All trainings conducted were facilitated by the pool of Provin-

cial Trainers in partnership with other stakeholders who were previ-

ously trained on the art of coaching. Component 2 of the BNEO is not

considered complete unless the barangays submitted the required

output which is the Barangay Agenda for Governance and Develop-ment (BAGAD) and as of the last working day of 2011, there were

1,006 BAGAD documents submitted accounting to 86% of the baran-

gays in the region.

UPSCALING COMMUNITY BASED MONITORING SYSTEM (CBMS)

As of December 31, 2011, 4 provinces, 1 city and 42

municipalities had adopted the implementation of the CBMS.

Among these LGUs, 2 provinces (Ifugao and Mt. Province)

and 24 municipalities (Apayao-1, Benguet-2, Ifugao-11 and

Mt. Province-10) had completed the four (4) modular train-

ings with the required outputs. The provinces of Benguet

and Kalinga together with its component municipalities/city

and the municipalities of Luna and Sta. Marcela (both in

Apayao) were in the process of data encoding, map digitiz-

ing, data processing and/or poverty mapping. Luna is in its

2nd implementation while for Abra and Baguio City, the CBMS

is not yet adopted or implemented. Conner, Apayao had

suspended the CBMS due to lack of fund allocation.

GOOD PRACTICES ON LOCAL GOVERNANCE: FACILITY FOR ADAPDATION AND REPLICATION (GO-FAR) PROGRAM

GO-FAR Program aims to assist LGUs in building

their capacities by providing simple methodologies to help

them choose and easily adopt, replicate and expand rele-

vant and possible local governance models and good prac-

tices. The by-product of the GO-FAR would help LGUs im-

prove their service delivery to their constituents.

The following activities were conducted in the re-

gion in 2011 to promote the GO-FAR Program:

Adoption of the GO-FAR template in docu-

menting several possible good practices in

advancing the quest of the Cordillera as an

autonomous region by the RDC;

Identification of at least one good practice in

every province and its documentation in ac-

cordance with the GO-FAR template and to

be submitted to the Regional Office;

Consolidation of all good practices in the

Cordillera region to be contained in a book

called the Cordillera Almanac Volume 3.

Attendance of the GO-FAR Focal Persons to

trainings conducted by the Central Office.

In every opportunity, all LGUs were also encour-

aged to replicate one good practice of model LGUs any-

where in the country to promote excellence in local gov-

ernance.

The training on CBMS Module 2 conducted on May 12-14, 2011 at the Davidson Hotel, Tabuk City, Kalinga.

The Millennium Development Goals Monitoring and

Evaluation (MDG M&E) Tracking System was piloted to the 6

municipalities covered by the UNFPA 6th Country Programme.

These are Asipulo, Lagawe and Tinoc in Ifugao; and Bontoc,

Paracelis and Sagada in Mt. Province. Based on the monitor-

ing of the regional office, all of these municipalities had al-

ready submitted their respective MDG M&E tracking reports

to the Bureau of Local Government Development, DILG Cen-

tral Office.

With the issuance of DILG Memorandum Circular No.

2011-141 dated 30 September 2011, requiring the imple-

mentation of the Tracking System to all provinces and mu-

nicipalities, the DILG-CAR Regional Office conducted a Train-

ing-Workshop on the Utilization of the Enhanced MDG M&E

Tracking System on November 3-4, 2011 at the DILG-CAR

Regional Office, Baguio City. The training was attended by

PTAOs on CBMS and MDG from the 7 provincial/city field of-

fices of the DILG-CAR. As an outcome of the training, the

system was implemented in the non-UNFPA municipalities of

Ifugao, namely; Aguinaldo, Banaue, Hingyon, Hungduan,

Kiangan, Lamut, Lista, and Mayoyao. The municipalities of

Aguinaldo and Kiangan have even submitted their reports

ahead of the deadline set which is April 15, 2012.

The DILG-CAR, in cooperation with the Office of the

Project Development Services, DILG-CO conducted three (3)

training workshops in Baguio City to capacitate LGU benefici-

aries of the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat (Salintubig)

Program.

The first training was entitled, ―Seminar-Workshop on

the Preparation of Simplified Feasibility Studies for Water

Supply System‖. It was held on June 22-24, 2011 at the

Diamond Hall, Hotel Supreme, Magsaysay Avenue, Baguio

City. The three-day activity was participated in by 117 local

officials and functionaries representing 4 provinces and 14

municipalities from Regions I, II and CAR. Participants were

the Municipal Mayors, Municipal Planning and Development

Coordinators (MPDCs), Municipal Engineers (MEs), MLGOOs,

Provincial Health Officers, Provincial Engineer, Provincial

Planning and Development Coordinators and DILG Provincial

WATSAN Coordinators.

The second training was a continuation of the first

training. It was entitled ―Program Planning-Workshop and

Skills Enhancement on Procurement and Construction Super-

vision‖. The activity was held again at the Hotel Supreme,

Magsaysay, Avenue, Baguio City on November 8-11, 2011.

There were a total of 39 participants composed of the

MPDCs, MEs, MLGOOs, BAC Chairmans, BAC Technical Work-

ing Group Members (1) and Municipal Accountants of the ten

(10) beneficiary municipalities coming from Regions 1 and

CAR.

The third training was a ―Writeshop on Preparing Sim-

plified Feasibility Study for Water Supply Systems‖ which

was held at the Nene Pimentel Hall on November 14-18,

2011. This training was conducted specifically for the Mu-

nicipality of Tineg, Abra to fast track the completion of their

feasibility study and detailed engineering design. The train-

ing was attended by personnel from Tineg.

The table shows the status of implementation of the

Program as of December 31, 2011. Of the 6 LGUs that have

already been released with the 40% first tranche, 2 are in

the construction stage (Flora and Pudtol), 2 (Calanasan and

Kabugao) are in the procurement stage or are preparing

their bid documents and 2 (Conner and Sta. Marcela) are fi-

nalizing their Detailed Engineering Designs. Tineg is still to

get its first tranche 40% funding since it is still to sign the

Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the Department of

Health regarding the Program’s implementation.

The Salintubig Program is jointly implemented by the

Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG),

Department of Health (DOH) and the National Anti-Poverty

Commission (NAPC).

As can be seen in the chart, many LGUs in CAR

prepared ahead their respective Executive Legislative

Agenda (ELA) than their Comprehensive Development

Plan (CDP).

Of the total 77 LGUs (75 municipalities and 2

cities) in the region, 19.5% approved/adopted their

CDP while 79.2% had approved/adopted their ELA. In

the case of Baguio City, it is about to complete its CDP

and ELA.

The low results were brought about by issues on

the plan/agenda formulation such as: a) the office of

the local planning and development office is being

manned by one personnel only; 2) no budget allocation

due to lack of funds at the LGU; c) ELA is more easier

to formulate than the mandated plans; d) lack of tech-

nical expertise of the DILG personnel assigned at the

cities/municipalities; and e) data sourcing is difficult at

the LGU level.

To capacitate the LGUs in preparing their CDPs,

an Orientation on the Formulation of CDP/Planning

Workshop was conducted on July 14, 2011 at the Luna

Conference Hall, Luna, Apayao. On October 24-27,

2011, DILG-Apayao together with the Provincial Gov-

ernment of Apayao, conducted the Ecological Profiling

(EP), Geographic Information System (GIS) Training

and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) Formula-

tion Workshop at the Grand Octagon Resort, Laoag

City, Ilocos Norte. It was attended by 67 participants

composed of Municipal Planning and Development Co-

ordinators (MPDCs), Municipal Engineers, MPDC Staff,

Mun. Engineer Staff, Municipal Health Officers and

MLGOOs.

ENHANCED LGU OPERATION THRU e-GOVERNANCE (e-LOG)

The e-LOG project aims to assist LGUs manage their

information requirements using information technology. The

project has component softwares that were developed by the

Bureau of Local Government Development, DILG Central Of-

fice, to cater to specific office or operations of the LGUs.

Among the component software is the Sanggunian Informa-

tion System (SIS) which was designed to strengthen the

technical and administrative capability of the Sanggunian in

effectively discharging its duties. It can track down various

Sanggunian records, transactions and documents in aid of

efficient legislation and can provide status of performance of

the individual members and of the various Sanggunian com-

mittees.

For 2011, only the Municipality of Flora, Apayao was

installed with SIS. The installation and user’s training was

conducted on July 26-28, 2011. Four (4) personnel from the

Office of the Sanggunian participated and were trained on

the installation, operation and maintenance of the software.

The e-LOG software is offered to LGUs for free. Inter-

ested LGUs may submit their letter-requests to the DILG to-

gether with a SB Resolution authorizing the LCE to enter into

a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the DILG. Con-

tents of the MOA are the roles and responsibilities of the

DILG and the LGU in the implementation of the e-LOG.

Among the roles of requesting LGUs is the shouldering of all

expenses relative to the implementation of the project such

as expenses for the conduct of the installation and the corre-

sponding hand’s on user’s training including the travelling

and accommodation expenses of DILG personnel who will

conduct the installation and act as trainers during the train-

ing. Among the roles of the DILG aside from installing and

conducting the user’s training will be the provision of the in-

staller softwares and user’s manual.

DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT (DRRM)

The passage of RA 10121 otherwise known as the

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act of 2010 and its

Implementing Rules and Regulations serve as an impetus for

new actions and accomplishments for DILG-CAR. As the vice

chair for Disaster Preparedness to the Cordillera Regional

Disaster Risk Reduction and Management, capacity-building

activities for organic personnel and client LGU officials and

functionaries were done through collaborative efforts among

stakeholders due to the dearth of funds. Field officers, de-

spite non membership in the local councils, play vital roles in

the end of saving lives and properties from calamities. Rec-

ognizing this, the Regional Office coordinated with OCD-CAR

and LGUs and conducted an orientation for the said field offi-

cers in the first quarter. Trainings and workshops to equip

focal persons for the job ahead was also made possible

through cost-sharing with other agencies such as the OCD,

the NDRRMC and Civil Society Organizations on topics such

as orientation on the law, Early Warning Systems, Hazard

Assessment and Mainstreaming DRRM in Local Development

Plans.

The BPLS Streamlining program is presently being

implemented only in selected LGUs all over the country. For

CAR, there are only three (3) pilot LGUs, namely: Baguio

City; La Trinidad, Benguet; and Bangued, Abra. Orientation

for these LGUs have been conducted jointly by the DILG-CAR

and DTI-CAR in 2010.

To encourage more LGUs to adopt the BPLS, the DILG

-CAR and DTI-CAR conducted activities in 2011. Orienta-

tions were conducted in Apayao, Ifugao, Kalinga and Mt.

Province covering a total of 29 LGUs - 28 municipalities and

1 component city. A floating of survey questionnaire was

also done in all LGUs in September 2011 to determine their

readiness in streamlining BPLS. As a result, the following

LGUs voluntarily enrolled with the BPLS: Luna, Apayao; Al-

fonso Lista, Ifugao; and Bauko, Mt. Province.

On the compliance of LGUs to BPLS requirements

(please refer to table), two (2) of the three (3) pilot LGUs

almost complied with all the requirements—Bangued and La

Trinidad—while Baguio complied only with three (3) require-

ments. For the other LGUs, it is worth noting that the City of

Tabuk complied with all the requirements except for comput-

erization.

A one day collaboration activity between National Government Agencies, Local Government Units and Civil Society Or-

ganizations dubbed as NGA-LGU-CSO Partnership Workshop on Advancing Good Local Governance for the Cordillera Adminis-

trative Region was held on October 27, 2011 at the AIM Conference Center, Camp John Hay, Baguio City.

A total of 56 or 93% of the 60 expected participants from the two cities

and six provinces of the region attended, the biggest group coming from the

CSO side.

Prior to the conduct of workshops, participants were oriented on Converging and Localizing Poverty Reduction Programs by NSCB, CPFI, JVOFI,

DSWD, DOH, OPAPP and DILG. DC Rosario B. Dumelod during her synthesis

reiterated the importance of CSO participation saying that the CSOs will serve

as the connectors and bridges in the gaps.

The activity ended with the participants’ signing their Pledge of

Commitment towards strengthening the partnership by determining

more robust areas of collaboration and engagements and translating

them into mutual undertakings.

agement and performance information

tool for local governments. With the

online reports, the LCEs will now be

guided in the preparation and imple-

mentation of their plans and programs

for health and tourism. Our partner

agencies would now have an empirical

data as basis to determine

which local government units

need assistance or interven-

tion to uplift the quality of

health services and tourism

industry in the country.

In the LGPMS online

reports, the State of Local

Governance Performance for

Data Capture Year (DCY)

2010 vis-à-vis the perform-

ance in DCY 2009 of the six

(6) provinces, one (1) highly

urbanized city, one (1) com-

ponent city and 75 municipali-

ties in the region is presented.

Although no LGU reached the

Excellent Overall Performance

Index (OPI) in any of the five (5) Per-

formance Areas of LGPMS, the LGUs

with High OPI increased by 9% from

48% in DCY 2009 to 57% in DCY 2010.

Consequently, those with Fair OPI de-

creased from 51% to 41% or by 10%.

The increase in the OPIs is due to the

increase in the Performance Area Indi-

ces brought about by the LGUs’ Fair to

Excellent performance in generally all

the 18 applicable Service Areas (SAs)

in the region, except on the following

concerns, viz:

On Administrative Governance,

the common concerns of the

LGUs are on the formulation

and enactment of codes such as

the Code of General Ordinances,

Local Investment and Incentive

Code, Market Code, Health and

Sanitation Code, Code for Chil-

dren, Gender and Development

Code and Environmental Code

as two (2) or three (3) of these

codes are inexistent in most of

the LGUs.

On Social Governance, a num-

ber of LGUs performed Low and

Very Low under the SA on Sup-

port to Housing and Basic Utili-

ties due to the absence of a da-

tabase for the housing sector

such as inventory of informal

settlers, makeshift houses and

sites for potential socialized

housing. Likewise, provision

and/or donation of lots for so-

cialized housing or mass dwell-

ing is also a common factor that

they have not met as this is not

a concern in most of the LGUs.

Hence, a Not Applicable choice

should be provided in the Data

Capture Form so as not to affect

their performance.

On Economic Governance, on

the SA on Support to Agricul-

ture Sector there is lack of full

support to the agriculture sector specifically on the infrastructure support and local government agricultural extension

and on-site research services or facilities and credit facilitation services through cooperatives. In Entrepreneurship,

Business and Industry Promotion where a number of the LGUs performed Low and Very Low, among the factors to be

addressed is the need to promote for a more business-friendly environment through a computerized processing and

releasing of business, occupancy and building permits, implementation of anti-red-tape practices, provision of tax in-

centives, promotion of job fairs, strengthening of the Local Enterprise and Industry Promotion Councils and provision of

direct support services to micro, small and medium enterprises.

On Environmental Governance, a number of municipalities performed below the benchmark in Urban Ecosystems Man-

agement. Common concerns are on the strengthening of the functionality of the SWMBs and establishment of MRFs in

every barangay although clustering of barangays is suggested if such is not feasible in their localities. Likewise, an ef-

fective solid waste collection and disposal system such as a scheduled solid waste collection and establishment of sani-

tary landfills have to be looked into since most of the municipalities use controlled and/or open dumpsites as the final

means in disposing their solid wastes.

On Valuing Fundamentals of Governance, only a few of the municipalities performed Low and Very Low due, among

other factors to the absence of feedback mechanism to generate citizens’ views on the reach and quality of services de-

livered to their constituents and partial or non-usage of the bulletin boards or the tri-media, i.e., print, broadcast and

website as a means to communicate the plans, PPAs, and special events in the LGUs.

With the total 83 LGUs in the region, there is 100% and 96.39% LGU participation in the initial implementation of the

LGU Scorecard on Health and LTSS, respectively with no data entries from three (3) municipalities: Bucloc and Pilar in Abra

and Tublay, Benguet.

With regards to the Annual Report submissions wherein the results of the LGPMS were incorporated therein, only

92.77% or all of the six (6) provinces, one (1) component city, one (1) HUC and 69 municipalities have submitted their Annual

Reports for CY 2010. The six (6) municipalities with no reports are Boliney, Bucloc, Malibcong, San Isidro and Tineg all in Abra

and Natonin in Mt. Province.

As the Department continues to

promote the culture of excellence in

service delivery pursuant to its mandate

as the primary catalyst for excellence in

local governance, DILG-CAR has em-

barked in an award system dubbed as

SIGLAT MO Awards. This award system recognizes barangay/s, and their re-

spective Punong Barangays and Munici-

pal/City Local Government Operations

Officers (M/CLGOO) for their excellent

performance in local governance. The

primary tool used in the said awards is

the Barangay Governance Performance

Management System (BGPMS) which is

also used to monitor and evaluate the

level of implementation of their respec-

tive Barangay Agenda for Governance

and Development.

SIGLAT MO is an Ilocano term

that means an effective and efficient

worker. It is also an acronym of Ilocano

terms to describe the good qualities of

an excellent leader: Saririt (intelligent),

Ingel (strong-willed), Gaget (hardworking), Laing (action man), Al-isto (alert), Taraki (wholesome),

Madaydayaw (honorable) nga Opisyal (official).

With its initial implementation

this CY2011, from a total of 75 pilot

barangays in the region, only 11 were

nominated, six (6) of which were con-

ferred with the SIGLAT MO Awards on 9

Dec. 2011 at the Sen. Nene Pimentel

Hall, DILG-CAR, Barangay Center, Ba-

guio City. Ms. Blesilda Rachel Paule of

the NBOO graced the occasion as the

Guest of Honor and Speaker in behalf of

the SILG, Hon. Jesse M. Robredo.

The winning barangays

from both the urban and rural

categories were awarded plaques

of recognition and cash incen-

tives of Php 25,000.00, Php

15,000.00 and Php10,000.00 for

the First, Second and Third

Places, respectively. The Punong

Barangays of the winning LGUs

were awarded certificates of rec-

ognition for leadership and ex-

emplary performance while the

M/CLGOO of the First Place win-

ners were awarded certificates of com-

mendation for their excellent perform-

ance as well. Likewise, Cordillera Par-

ents Federation, Inc, a non-

governmental organization as the active

partner during the assessment and vali-

dation process was also recognized for

its unwavering support not only to the

SIGLAT MO Awards but also to the

other programs of the Department, the

Seal of Good Housekeeping and the Ga-

wad Pamana ng Lahi.

Seventy-one (71) of the total eighty-three

(83) LGUs in the region passed the Seal of Good

Housekeeping (SGH) for Local Governments in CY

2011: five (5) provinces, one (1) HUC, one (1) com-

ponent city, and 64 municipalities. SGH is a project

of the Department to recognize LGUs with above

benchmark performance and to scale up participation,

accountability, responsiveness and transparency in

local governance in the LGUs. The twenty-three 4th-

6th class municipalities that were SGH passers during

the first round of implementation were granted PhP1

million each from the Performance Challenge Fund, a

support fund for their development projects. The

LGUs should have fully complied with the Full Disclo-

sure Policy (FDP) and the absence of an adverse or

disclaimer opinion in their Commission on Audit (COA)

Annual Audit Reports (AAR) for CY2010 were the cri-

teria used in acquiring a SGH. Conferment of awards

for the first round passers was done on 9 August

2011 at the Sen. Nene Pimentel Hall, Barangay Cen-

ter, Baguio City. It was participated in by the LGU

awardees’ respective LCEs, treasurers, planning and

development coordinators, engineers and members of

the sanggunian.

In support to the department’s objective of jumpstarting local development initiatives, 23 LGUs in the region were

awarded the Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) for CY 2011. The conferment of the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) and

Status of Compliance to Full Disclosure Policy, CY 2011

DILG Memorandum Circular No. 2010-88 re: Full Disclosure of Local Budget and Finances, directs all LGUs to post in

conspicuous places within public buildings in the locality, or in print media of community or general circulation, and in their

websites, the LGU’s Annual Budget, Statement of Cash Flows, Statement of Receipts and Expenditures, and Trust Fund (PDAF)

Utilization, among others.

Tapatan Roadshow on FDP

A Tapatan Roadshow on Full Disclosure Policy was conducted

on June 14, 2011 at the Ben Palispis Hall, Benguet Capitol Building,

La Trinidad Benguet. The Roadshow is a forum with the SILG

drumbeating to local government units (LGUs) the regular and cor-

rect way of posting their financial status in compliance to the FDP.

The activity was attended by a total of 378 local officials and de-

partment heads representing the 6 provinces, 2 cities and 75 mu-

nicipalities of CAR.

SILG Jesse M. Robredo, the speaker during the roadshow,

stressed that compliance to the FDP may bring more benefits than

just informing the people about the LGU financial status, lessening

graft and corruption and promoting participative, accountable, re-

sponsive and transparent governance. He announced that it may

also qualify an LGU for

the Seal of Good

Housekeeping Pro-

gram which may win

them a Performance

Challenge Fund, a

funding support from

the Benigno Aquino III

administration in rec-

ognition of exemplary

governance.

To drumbeat the celebration of the 20th year of local autonomy in the Philippines last October 10, 2011, the Barangay

Assembly for the second semester of CY 2011 was moved to October 9, 2011. The short notice however per Memorandum

Circular No. 2011-144 dated October 5, 2011 plus other unforeseen events resulted to a low percentage in terms of compli-

No synchronized barangay assembly was conducted in the 175 barangays of Ifugao, due to typhoons ―Pedring and

Quiel‖. The typhoons greatly affected the locality with damages to agriculture, properties, infrastructures and others. The com-

munities led by their barangay officials are still doing rehabilitation works such as fixing destroyed houses, removal of slides

along pathways, restoration of damaged water systems and de-clogging of drainages and canals.

Awards as Second Runner-up Outstanding Lupong Taga-

pamayapa in the 2011 Fourth to Sixth Class Municipalities
