1 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 relations 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 happen, 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. CORAZON P. GURAY, CESO III Regional Director 1

4 Local Government Capacity Development Services NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS (NEO) ORIENTATION TRAINING Almost two years after the 2010 election, the program on the Newly Elected Official (NEO Orientation Training) 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 municipalities, 1 highly urbanized city and 1 component city complied with DILG MC No 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 August 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. 4

5 Capacity Development Expo (CDEX) DILG-CAR conducted a very important activity called the Regional CDEX or the Capacity Development Expo wherein the summary of the Capacity Development (CapDev) Agenda of all LGUs in the region were presented and highlighted. It was a venue for the convergence 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 conduct 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 Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between and among the DILG-CAR, the Province of Benguet and the University of the Cordilleras with the primary 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. 5

6 BARANGAY NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS (BNEO) ORIENTATION PROGRAM 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 tenets of Biyaheng Pinoy namely: 1) Seamless performance that nurtures accountability 2) Transparency, sense of ownership and informed 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 carried out by DILG-CAR in its continuing efforts to enhance the proficiency 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 December 30, 2011, 425 barangays or 36% conducted a demand -driven training. All trainings conducted were facilitated by the pool of Provincial Trainers in partnership with other stakeholders who were previously 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 Development (BAGAD) and as of the last working day of 2011, there were 1,006 BAGAD documents submitted accounting to 86% of the barangays in the region. 6

7 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 relevant and possible local governance models and good practices. The by-product of the GO-FAR would help LGUs improve their service delivery to their constituents. The following activities were conducted in the region in 2011 to promote the GO-FAR Program: Adoption of the GO-FAR template in documenting 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 accordance 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. 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 trainings 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 digitizing, data processing and/or poverty mapping. Luna is in its 2 nd 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. In every opportunity, all LGUs were also encouraged to replicate one good practice of model LGUs anywhere in the country to promote excellence in local governance. The training on CBMS Module 2 conducted on May 12-14, 2011 at the Davidson Hotel, Tabuk City, Kalinga. 7

8 TRACKING LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT RESPONSIVENESS TO MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDG) The Millennium Development Goals Monitoring and Evaluation (MDG M&E) Tracking System was piloted to the 6 municipalities covered by the UNFPA 6 th Country Programme. These are Asipulo, Lagawe and Tinoc in Ifugao; and Bontoc, Paracelis and Sagada in Mt. Province. Based on the monitoring of the regional office, all of these municipalities had already submitted their respective MDG M&E tracking reports to the Bureau of Local Government Development, DILG Central Office. With the issuance of DILG Memorandum Circular No dated 30 September 2011, requiring the implementation of the Tracking System to all provinces and municipalities, the DILG-CAR Regional Office conducted a Training-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 offices 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, Tinoc MDG Team MDG M & E Training Workshop participants from the Province of Ifugao... Lagawe MDG Team Asipulo MDG Team 8

9 SAGANA AT LIGTAS NA TUBIG SA LAHAT PROGRAM 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 beneficiaries 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 Supervision. The activity was held again at the Hotel Supreme, Magsaysay, Avenue, Baguio City on November 8-11, There were a total of 39 participants composed of the MPDCs, MEs, MLGOOs, BAC Chairmans, BAC Technical Working 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 Simplified Feasibility Study for Water Supply Systems which was held at the Nene Pimentel Hall on November 14-18, This training was conducted specifically for the Municipality of Tineg, Abra to fast track the completion of their feasibility study and detailed engineering design. The training was attended by personnel from Tineg. The table shows the status of implementation of the Program as of December 31, 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 finalizing 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. Salintubig 2011 Status of Implementation LGU Beneficiary Tineg, Abra Calanasan, Apayao Conner, Apayao Status of Implementation Completed Feasibility Study (FS) and Detailed Engineering Design (DED).

10 RATIONALIZED PLANNING SYSTEM 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 technical 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 Government of Apayao, conducted the Ecological Profiling (EP), Geographic Information System (GIS) Training and Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) Formulation Workshop at the Grand Octagon Resort, Laoag City, Ilocos Norte. It was attended by 67 participants composed of Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (MPDCs), Municipal Engineers, MPDC Staff, Mun. Engineer Staff, Municipal Health Officers and MLGOOs. 10

11 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 Office, to cater to specific office or operations of the LGUs. Among the component software is the Sanggunian Information 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 committees. For 2011, only the Municipality of Flora, Apayao was installed with SIS. The installation and user s training was conducted on July 26-28, 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. Interested LGUs may submit their letter-requests to the DILG together with a SB Resolution authorizing the LCE to enter into a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the DILG. Contents 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 corresponding 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 training. Among the roles of the DILG aside from installing and conducting the user s training will be the provision of the installer softwares and user s manual. DISASTER RISK REDUCTION AND MANAGEMENT (DRRM) The passage of RA 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, despite non membership in the local councils, play vital roles in the end of saving lives and properties from calamities. Recognizing this, the Regional Office coordinated with OCD-CAR and LGUs and conducted an orientation for the said field officers 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. 11

12 BUSINESS PERMIT AND LICENSING SYSTEM (BPLS) 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 To encourage more LGUs to adopt the BPLS, the DILG -CAR and DTI-CAR conducted activities in Orientations 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; Alfonso 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) requirements. For the other LGUs, it is worth noting that the City of Tabuk complied with all the requirements except for computerization.

14 FORGING PARTNERSHIPS A one day collaboration activity between National Government Agencies, Local Government Units and Civil Society Organizations dubbed as NGA-LGU-CSO Partnership Workshop on Advancing Good Local Governance for the Cordillera Administrative 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. 14

15 LOCAL GOVERNANCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LGPMS) In CY 2011, implementation of the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) Version 2.1 was launched integrating the LGU Scorecard on Health of the Department of Health (DOH) and the Local Tourism Statistics System (LTSS) of the Department of Tourism (DOT) as subsystems. LGPMS is now used as a common platform in providing a performance management and performance information tool for local governments. With the online reports, the LCEs will now be guided in the preparation and implementation 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 intervention 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 performance in DCY 2009 of the six (6) provinces, one (1) highly urbanized city, one (1) component city and 75 municipalities in the region is presented. Although no LGU reached the Excellent Overall Performance Index (OPI) in any of the five (5) Performance Areas of LGPMS, the LGUs with High OPI increased by 9% from 48% in DCY 2009 to 57% in DCY Consequently, those with Fair OPI decreased from 51% to 41% or by 10%. The increase in the OPIs is due to the increase in the Performance Area Indices 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 Children, 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 number of LGUs performed Low and Very Low under the SA on Support to Housing and Basic Utilities due to the absence of a database 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 socialized housing or mass dwelling 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 Agriculture Sector there is lack of full 15

16 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 incentives, 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 Management. 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 effective solid waste collection and disposal system such as a scheduled solid waste collection and establishment of sanitary 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 delivered 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 The six (6) municipalities with no reports are Boliney, Bucloc, Malibcong, San Isidro and Tineg all in Abra and Natonin in Mt. Province. 16

17 BARANGAY GOVERNANCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (BGPMS) 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 embarked in an award system dubbed as SIGLAT MO Awards. This award system recognizes barangay/s, and their respective Punong Barangays and Municipal/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 respective 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), Alisto (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 conferred with the SIGLAT MO Awards on 9 Dec at the Sen. Nene Pimentel Hall, DILG-CAR, Barangay Center, Baguio 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 incentives of Php 25,000.00, Php 15, and Php10, for the First, Second and Third Places, respectively. The Punong Barangays of the winning LGUs were awarded certificates of recognition for leadership and exemplary performance while the M/CLGOO of the First Place winners were awarded certificates of commendation for their excellent performance as well. Likewise, Cordillera Parents Federation, Inc, a nongovernmental organization as the active partner during the assessment and validation 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 Gawad Pamana ng Lahi.

18 SEAL OF GOOD HOUSEKEEPING 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) component 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 4 th - 6 th 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 Disclosure 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 criteria 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 Center, Baguio City. It was participated in by the LGU awardees respective LCEs, treasurers, planning and development coordinators, engineers and members of the sanggunian.
