Dr Olga M. Nuñeza, Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension of
Mindanao State University–Iligan Institute of Technology shared the to
DILG the school’s desire to replicate the Local Governance Resource
Center of DILG Region 10.
This, she disclosed during her visit to LGRC-10 with her staff last August 12, 2008.
She specifically pointed out the valuable contribution of the Center in providing relevant
information and knowledge products to the clientele.
The group was first briefed by LGOO V Pablio L. Benitez Jr, the LGRC-10 coordinator. He presented to them the background of LGRC-10, and the operationalization
of the Center.
Nuñez disclosed that she will try to replicate the program of LGRC-10, under the
management of the Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research and Extension (OVCRE),
to promote and establish a culture of knowledge sharing in the school.
She added that the establishment of its own knowledge center in MSU-IIT will surely
contribute in the effective exchange of ideas and information among the stakeholders
on research
and development.
This visit of the academe from the MSU-IIT is part of their strengthening efforts
towards the cultivation of a culture of research in the said Institute.
Earlier, the group made a
courtesy call to
DILG-10
Director Quirino Libunao. The

LIGA Presidents agree on conduct of GABAY Awards
All 15 LIGA presidents gathered last July 14
at DILG-10 regional office to agree on the
conduct of Galing-Barangay (GABAY)
Award.
GABAY Award is a new awards program
by the Department of the Interior and Local
Government region 10 to give due recognition
to the best performing barangays in the region
and enhance the performance of the barangays
for more effective delivery of basic services.
Through the said awards program, it shall
strengthen good barangay governance and
stimulate innovations.
This award was initiated in lieu of the
Search for Outstanding Barangay Officials
(SOBO) due to the recent barangay elections.
Director Quirino Libunao welcomed the
local officials and told the group on the evolution of a new award in subsequent to the
SOBO award. Briefly, he described that the
award shall work as a total assessment of the
barangay.
A total description of the objectives, coverage, committees concerned and guidelines
on the said barangay was narrated by the
program officer Pablio L. Benitez, Jr.. He said
the GABAY award shall check if the barangay
is on the right track in delivering the kind of
services to the constituents. It will help in
identifying the competency gaps and provide
appropriate interventions.
Bernard Pacaña, the Liga ng mga Barangay President of region 10, injected in the
middle of the discussion that the said award
will pose as a challenge to barangay as a team.
One suggestion from LIGA President
Francisco Chiong of Tangub City was well
taken by the group and that was to make the
awards coverage moved into January to
October of this year.
A resolution is then prepared for the turnover of funds for the LIGA to manage and
LIGA Presidents Arsenio Kho of Misamis
Oriental and Aaron Neri of Cagayan de Oro
will serve as signatories.
LGSD Chief Clodualdo Espedilla closed
the meeting saying that it is important to consider barangay officials as policymakers. He
added that this assessment of the barangay as a
totality will be a good start. 
DILG authorizes brgys in LDN AND Iligan to deputize police auxiliaries
“Each barangay will be authorized to
deputize five police auxiliaries who will
be under the strict supervision of the
Philippine National Police.” This was
pronounced by Interior and
Local
Government Secretary Ronaldo V. Puno
during his visit in Kolambugan and Iligan
last August 25.
This idea of a police auxiliary was
taken from the Executive Order 546,
signed by President Gloria Macapagal
Arroyo two years ago, authorizing the
deputization of civilian volunteer organizations (CVOs) and the use of barangay
tanods as "force multipliers" in the campaign to wipe out terrorist threats.
CVO applicants will undergo a rigid
screening process and training program
before they can be deputized as armed
police auxiliaries who will help the
Philippine National Police (PNP) maintain
peace and order at the barangay level.
Stringent record-checking will be
done to determine if there is any
criminal record by a CVO applicant.
Those CVOs who will be qualified will
undergo in an “army-like” training by
PNP Special Action Force. Once passed,
these qualified police auxiliaries will be
given long hand guns issued by PNP to
assist both the police and AFP in protecting their barangays from extremities and
other lawless element
“Through this Executive Order,
binibigyan po natin ng karapatan ang
ating local officials and PNP to deputize
police auxiliaries,” Puno said.
However, Puno pointed out that not
all CVOs or barangay tanods will be given
firearms. “It is not true
we are arming all CVOs,”
he quickly explained. It
will be only those who
will be trained as police
auxiliaries.
These police auxiliaries will be under the supervision of PNP. Puno
pointed out that only the
PNP has the authority to
issue and distribute firearms.
Moreover, the PNP
will make it a priority to
make
sure that these
police auxiliaries will not
abuse the use of their

Director Libunao is extremely proud
of this award as this shows the
competence and effectiveness of the
entire DILG-10 workforce, especially in
serving as role model to other NGAs and
in promoting good governance in all
local government units.
Another feat for DILG-10 was the
awarding of its HRMO Ms. Rosario O.
Pelaez as one of the Outstanding Human
Resource Management Officer awardees
in the region. She received the award
along with other outstanding HRMOs,
namely: Ms. Haidee Helena F. Garcia
from Central Mindanao University, Mr.
Cristino R. Tabal from LGU of Quezon,
Bukidnon, and Ms. Antonieta R. Guevara
from LGU of Don Carlos, Bukidnon.
During the program, separate taped
messages
from
President
Gloria
Macapagal-Arroyo and CSC Commissioner
Ricardo L. Saludo were aired wherein they
congratulate the awardees and honorees.
President Arroyo underlined in her
recorded message that public service and
people are important links in the society.
She recognized the role of the public servants as the ones working for the aspiration of the nation. She urged others to
strive in replicating the moral, responsiveness and integrity of public servants
nationwide.
Earlier, Atty Lourdes Clavite-Vidal,
Regional Director of CSC-10, in her message underlined on the better public service being given by the government workers today. She pointed out that despite of
the “adversaries in
life,
government
workers are still able to stand and now the
outstanding workers in the government are
recognized.” She said that by working together, everyone can move forward to
their destinations.

“We will not allow anybody with
criminal records. We will not allow anyone
with doubtful history. We are going to
conduct drug test. We are going to do all
kinds of tests to make sure we get only the
best and the most responsible individual in
your community,” according to Sec. Puno

ay pwedeng mag-armas.”
The two are in accord that the arming
of these well-trained police auxiliaries is in
line with law when the police force is not
enough to afford adequate protection to the
community.
The civilians applying to be a police
auxiliary shall be trained by PNP staff, then,
they will be profiled by asking background
questions from their teachers, community
leaders and religious leaders.

DILG: LOCAL SANGGUNIANS MAY ENACT SUPPLEMENTAL BUDGET
FOR DISASTER RELIEF EFFORTS
Local legislative councils may enact a
supplemental budget to finance disaster risk
management efforts at the local level, in
case the local calamity fund has already
been expended. This was pronounced by
Interior Secretary Ronaldo Puno in a memorandum circuar.
From the said directive addressed to
provincial governors, city and municipal
mayors and punong barangays, Secretary
Puno said there that under the Local Government Code, local government units
(LGUs) frequently hit by typhoons and
other calamities, may, through their respective sanggunians, enact a supplemental
budget, once the five percent local calamity
fund has already been used up.
In a press statement, Puno said that in
times of public calamity, LGUs through
their respective local sanggunians may
choose to enact a supplemental budget in
order to finance and implement their reha-

bilitation and relief efforts.
He also said that in the enactment of a
supplemental budget, and in the disbursement
of funds for disaster efforts, “it is understood
that the procedural requirements of the law,
rules or regulations shall be strictly observed.”
The Local Government Code of 1991
mandates every LGU to allocate 5 percent of
the estimated income from regular sources, as
annual lump sum appropriation and referred to
as Calamity Fund, for relief, rehabilitation,
reconstruction and other works and services in
connection with the occurrence of calamities
during the budget year.
Section 321 of the LGC states that “A
supplemental budget may also be enacted in
times of public calamity by way of budgetary
realignment to set aside appropriation for the
purchase of supplies and materials or the
payment of services which are exceptionally
urgent or absolutely indispensable to prevent
imminent danger to, or loss of, life or property,
in the jurisdiction of the local government unit
or in other areas declared in a state of calamity
by the President.”  (With reports from DILG

DILG-10 helps LGUs prepare feasibility studies of projects
The Department of the Interior and Local Government region 10 has been actively facilitating feasibility studies (FS) of some LGUs in region 10
and from other regions under the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) program of the Department.
Last August 26-29, 2008, three local government units from the LGUs of Salay in Misamis Oriental, and from the provinces of Aklan,
Catanduanes and Leyte participated in the MDG-fund FS training for Public Auction Market held in Cagayan de Oro City.
Participants were composed of Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators, Municipal Engineers, Municipal Treasurers, Market
Administrators, Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officers, DILG Municipal Local Government Operations Officers and encoders.
Said training was facilitated by the Office of Project and Development Services (OPDS) and Project Development and Management Unit
(PDMU) of DILG-10.
On the other hand, the PDMU of DILG-10 also helped in finalizing the FS of Maigo, Lanao del Norte after the latter finished the conduct of the
survey at the market side.
The final drafting of the project proposal for the Procurement of Dump Truck was done last July 23-25, 2008 at Guinsiliban, Camiguin. The
LGDD staff provided technical assistance to the LGU and further briefed the Local Finance Committee on the MDG-Fund. The final draft was
presented by the MPDC to Guinsiliban Mayor Raul M. Llacuña which was then approved.
DILG, cognizant of the role of the LGUs in the achievement of the MDG targets, issued a memorandum circular where LGUs were
expected to step-up efforts to implement a poverty-focused plan with a concomitant increase in budgetary allocation for social services responsive
to the MDGs.
Under MDG fund, the Municipal Development Fund Office (MDFO) of the Department of Finance (DOF) and the DILG initiated the
establishment of a separate lending facility that offers concessional financing for LGUs to fast track the localization of MDGs. This will answer the
funding constraints on the part of lower-income LGUs which was a major stumbling block to their concrete and meaningful attainment of MDGs. 

CAPTAIN REYES MAKES BJMP PROUD
Jail Senior Inspector Guy Jason Reyes, the Ozamis City Jail Warden and concurrent
Provincial Jail Administrator of Misamis Occidental, again made the Bureau of Jail
Management and Penology Regional Office X proud because of his herculean
achievements.

his strong sense of responsibility and leadership as evidenced by his notable achievements as jail warden.
At the onset of his rein, lot of activities had already been undertaken. Among

proud, not only of his achievements but more of
his
admirable characteristic. (With
