MBTF LEADS TRIBUTE TO JOB-ORDER EMPLOYEES

Mayor Belen Fernandez has led the city government in paying tribute to Job Order Employees (JOEs) who have shown outstanding performance and unfaltering dedication to their duties despite setbacks on their budget allocation on June 26, 2023 during the regular flag raising ceremony at the City Plaza.

Calling them ‘lingkod bayani’, the local chief executive said there are neither small nor big roles that JOEs cannot perform which have helped the city survive and rise up from the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Sa kabila ng iba’t-ibang hamon, malaki ang inyong pagdamay at pagmamahal sa siyudad ng Dagupan kahit nakatatanggap kayo ng maaanghang na salita at hindi pagkilala ng ilang opisyal at tawaging ‘multo’ o ‘walang silbi’”, she stated as she congratulated them while receiving their certificates of recognition.

Moreover, Mayor Fernandez highlighted the oftentimes unnoticed contribution of JOEs  to the local economy as they perform their jobs during emergencies, vaccination activities, market and street clean ups and other tasks within their respective offices.

The local chief executive likewise announced an annual increment on salaries of JOEs from 9,000 pesos to 12,000 pesos in 2024; 12,000 pesos to 14,000 pesos in 2025; and 14,000 pesos to 16,000 pesos in 2026 in recognition of their hard work.

Furthermore, JOEs may also avail of housing opportunities under the Pambansang Pabahay Para sa Pilipino or 4PH of the Department of Human Settlements and Urban Development that will be located in Sitio Sta. Maria in barangay Bonuan Boquig, according to Mayor Fernandez.

A flagship program of the Marcos administration, the 4PH envisions to provide decent and affordable housing to Filipinos and address housing backlogs.

YOUNG CITY OFFICIALS & DEPT. HEADS, BIDA SA KAMPANYA VS. ILLEGAL DRUGS

BIDA ang mga young city officials & department heads sa naganap na Buhay Ingatan, Droga Ayawan (BIDA) Bayanihan ng Mamamayan Fun Run MYK Edition sa pangunguna ni Young City Mayor Princess Johnelle Baniqued bilang counterpart ni Mayor Belen Fernandez ngayong umaga.

Kasama ang DILG Dagupan sa pangunguna ni City Local Government Operations Officer Royolita Rosario at DepEd Schools Division Office, Education Program Supervisor Liezl Cancino at mga MYK facilitators, maagang nagsama sama ang mga MYKs para sa fun run na sinundan ng lecture on the DILG National Anti-illegal Drugs Campaign ni Secretary Benhur Abalos.

Sa mensahe ni Mayor Belen, inaasahan ang mga MYKs na mangunguna sa pagsusulong ng programa kontra illegal na droga sa kani-kanilang paaralan.

Alinsunod ito sa layunin ng BIDA program na hindi lamang limitado sa iisang aksyon ang laban sa iligal na droga.

Ani nga ni Sec. Abalos, “The main purpose of the BIDA Fun Run is not the activity itself. Simula lang po ang BIDA – ang totoong mithiin ay ang pagpapatuloy ng kampanya ng mga LGUs even after the event has passed.”

Ito rin ang hinihikayat ni Mayor Belen sa Dagupan LGU sa pagkakaroon ng BIDA workplace sa mga empleyado ng lokal na gobyerno.

DAGUPAN LGU TARGETS DILG SEAL OF GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE ANEW

The Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) conducted a regional assessment on the performance of the local government unit (LGU) of Dagupan in its implementation of governance areas under the coveted Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) on June 16, 2023.

Mayor Belen Fernandez presented the various programs of the city government to the regional assessment team composed of Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO) VII & Region 1 Division Chief Rhodora Soriano, SGLG Region 1 Focal Person LGOO V Karen Castillo, DILG Provincial Director Virgilio Sison and CLGOO Royolita Rosario.

Also present during the meeting were Dagupan Philippine National Police Chief Police Lieutenant Colonel Brendon Palisoc, PDO III SGLG Focal Person Natacia Dizon, CSO Rep. Bishop Rovell Solleza, department heads and the Manlingkor Ya Kalangweran 2023 Young City Officials.

For three consecutive years, in 2015, 2016 and 2017, Dagupan-LGU was awarded the SGLG during the first term of Mayor Fernandez.

Based on a memorandum circular of DILG Secretary Benjamin Abalos Jr., the SGLG is an institutionalized award and recognition-based program that is committed in bringing people-oriented reforms to enable LGUs to foster a culture of good governance despite challenges in the local government landscape.

“This year, performance measures are further upgraded to also gauge outcome oriented efforts of the LGUs and as the Seal maintains its progressive nature, its response to various concerns in local administration and service delivery remains to be anchored on its thrust of giving distinction and incentivizing good performance,” the Sec. stated.

Under the SGLG, an LGU must pass all governance areas aimed at financial administration and sustainability; disaster preparedness; social protection and sensitivity; health compliance and responsiveness; sustainable education; business-friendliness and competitiveness; safety, peace and order; environmental management; tourism, heritage development, culture and arts; and youth development.
