The participants learned the skill-will matrix as the facilitator demon-strated it in a quadrant analysis. They assessed if the skills of the employees have the correspond-ing willingness to perform the assigned task. He also introduced new coaching and mentoring techniques which are vital in the improvement of the organization. The participants were also grouped and were asked to show the application of proper coaching and mentoring techniques through a role play.

The groups loved the role playing activity as they were able to present their coaching skills and help a problematic staff mem-ber to win the challenges in work and life.

socio-cultural and artistic quotient of CESOs while promot-ing civic consciousness among government executives. For pertinent inquiries, please feel free to call the CESB’s Performance Management and Assistance Division (PMAD) at telephone number (02) 951-4981 locals 110, 111 or 126.

JULY-SEPTEMBER 2012

Kitcharao, Agusan del Norte – The Local Government Unit of Kitcharao in collaboration with the Philippine Army’s 3rd Special Forces Battalion (SFB), the Rotary Club of Central Butuan (RCCB), and the Technical Education and Skills De-velopment Authority (TESDA) of Agusan del Norte spearheaded the launching of the “Kasanayan Para sa Kapayapaan at Kaunlaran (KKK)” last August 14, 2012. Ms. Mylene G. Mariano, 18 years of age, first year college, and a Sangguniang Kabataan chair and resident of Brgy. San Isidro, Santi-ago came early to the Lantawan Eco-Park together with her peers to be

informed of possible manna of skills training. KKK sought to develop Ms. Mariano and other youths from Santiago and this town, who are mostly out of school, into becoming relevant and contributory to the de-velopment of their respective com-munities, thereby unshackling them-selves hopefully from the lure or clutches of insurgent indoctrination and other acts of uprisings and atrocities. According to Lt. Col. Potenciano C. Camba, Command-ing Officer of the 3rd SFB, “Some interconnected issues that are very

common” and were “noted dur-ing the im-

mersion of our Peace and Development Teams” in the municipalities of Santi-ago, Jabonga, and this town “are pov-erty, unemployment and lack of educa-tion resulting to a significant numbers of out-of-school youth. This inactive youth sector is very vulnerable to the CPP-NPA-NDF recruitment and or-ganizing works.” Thus, his appeal during the KKK launching was for the youth to equip themselves and make themselves relevant as a critical component in the socio-economic development of their communities. “We learned that you want to be significant,” he said to the 210 youths that gathered for the occa-sion. “We are just your bridge,” he coaxed them. “You are the focus of our program. You are the hope of our land. We hope to help you acquire skills, so that you can land

some hospitals in Metro Manila and private hospitals in Cagayan Valley, Cabanatuan, Tarlac, Batangas, Taclo-ban City, Iloilo and Dumaguete City. Dr. Lecciones has been described as ‘maasikaso’, approachable and patient – friendly. As for him, patients are his first priority, visiting the hospitals for monitoring. Also, he gives advice when needed to improve their services.

8 Prioritizing….

He is considered as a ‘trailblazer’ – a very competent technical man - who could translate goals into doable strategies. His subordinates admire his passion for work and his commitment to see the work through completion. He was able to earn the respect of DOST development partners. For his col-leagues in the Rotary Club, Director Esper-ancilla is a careful planner, remarkably intel-ligent and very humble.

M ariano T. Cuenco is the Deputy Administrator of National Electrification Administra-tion (NEA). He is credited for coming up with creative and inno-vative Financial Reform Programs leading to a higher level of organ-izational performance for NEA and

contributing to the success of the Rural Electrification Program in the country. Deputy Administrator Cuenco advocated austerity measures to optimize resources and minimize expenses, which include among others, an Energy Management Program. He also created and en-hanced credit facilities and new lending rates for the Electric Coop-eratives called ‘Releaser’s Pass’, which include among others: con-donation and restructuring of loans and reduction of interest from 10 to 8% in order to be competitive with other financial institu-tions and revive some of the electric cooperatives who could not pay their loans.

Looking for ways to improve society

Under his stewardship, NEA received citation from the Commis-sion on Audit (COA) as the first GOCC to implement eNGAS. NEA was the first among government cor-porations to be PGS certified. He also shared his financial expertise in financial management to all electric cooperatives under his coverage helping Region III cooperatives to improve their operations. After seven (7) years as Deputy Adminis-trator and after the remarkable per-formance, Deputy Administrator Cuenco finds himself with the distinct honor of being one of the winners of the prestigious 2011 GAWAD CES. Taas Noo Deputy Administrator Cuenco! You are indeed the pride of the CES!

employment.” He likewise informed them that they have many soldiers whose entry point to the Philippine Army is the National Certifi-cates that they have acquired from TESDA. Dr. Florencio F. Sunico, Jr., CES Eligible and TESDA Provincial Director, who gave the program’s rationale, unveiled to the youth group that KKK is all about providing them the skills in order to become productive, thereby wrenching them from un-wanted influences in order that peace and development will be given a chance to prosper. Rotarian Mario Chu, President Elect of RCCB, who repre-sented current President John A. Uy, dovetailed the event with the Rotary’s motto for this year, which is “Peace Through Service.” He shared that the presence of RCCB is anchored on helping nur-ture a climate of peace, “because it is a critical ingredient that will facilitate the development of your community. Coupled with a learning spirit, you surely will achieve something and go places.” Hon. Jenry E. Montante, Municipal Mayor, addressed the youth like a godfather. He urged them to “not think of poverty as a hindrance to development.” He shared that his father was simply a farmer, and his mother used to be a plain housewife and they have to feed 10 siblings. He, being the eldest had to strive hard in order to succeed and eventually made it through. He lamented that a lot of his youth constituents migrated to other places in search for greener pastures. But they ended up only as lowly hirelings because they don’t have the competitive technical skills for them to haggle for better wages. Thus, in or-der not to repeat the vicious cycle, he urged the current crop of youth to dream and reach for their stars. “Acquire skills so that your lot in life will fall into proper places,” he advised.

Triple whammy...

After his speech, a Memorandum of Agreement ensued between and among the four partners in order to formalize the collaboration. Eventually, the youths were assessed via profiling, so that their need for skills acquisition will be tailored-fit to their inclination and qualification. As a sample breakthrough, the occasion continued with the launching of the TESDA Spe-cialista Technopreneurship Program (TSTP) wherein 10 youths, whose ticket for inclusion to the intervention was their acquisition of skills in welding and the requisite National Certificate Level II, received welding machine, tools, gears, and other paraphernalia as starter kits, so that they can engage and be armed for entrepreneurial ventures. At lunch time, the movers and shakers from the big four alliance lock horns via a boodle fight – a military jargon for eating in group with the use of hands using banana leaves in lieu of plates. Early afternoon saw the continued action of greening the Lantawan Eco Park through tree planting. As a resolve, all the partners involved vowed to return in order to buckle down to work with the hope of producing results. By late after-noon, footages and information of the said triple whammy was shown on TV Patrol Caraga with May Diez of ABS-CBN anchoring the segment.

T he CESB and the entire CES community mourn the passing of DIREC-TOR BRANDO F. MERRERA, CESO III, of the News and Information Bureau of the Presidential Communications Operations Office, who died on the 6th of July, 2012 at the age of 50 due to heart attack. “Dong”, as he is lovingly called by family and friends was born on December 23, 1961 in Dagupan City, Pangasinan. He joined the Philippine News Agency in 1989. With his innate talent and technical compe-tence, he steadily rose up the corporate ladder.

He was a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Journalism from the University of Luzon (erstwhile Luzon Colleges) in Pangasinan in 1986. He also obtained a Masters degree in Mass Communication from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in 1996. He is survived by his loving daughter, Darlynara, 14, and other family members.

As CESO, he leaves us with fond memories of his friendship and continues to inspire us with his significant contributions in the public service. Let us join hands in prayer for solace in this hour of grief.
