RD’s Message

2017 marked the conclusion of one stage and the
beginning of another. It has been a year of going out
of the comfort zone, leaving convenience, and facing
new challenges.

Coming from DILG Region I (Ilocos Region) consists
of 4 provinces, I was given the new opportunity
to lead and serve DILG Region 03 (Central Luzon)
with 7 provinces and 2 highly-urbanized cities.

This transition was never easy. It meant fulfilling a
bigger role, performing more tasks, and taking greater responsibility in providing optimal services
to the public.

But alongside these challenges, doors were opened for sweeter laurels and greater rewards in the
development in local governance and the provision of quality services to our clientele.

Region 03, although a new environment, is indeed warm and friendly, yet professional. It gives me
great pleasure to extend my sincerest gratitude to the local government units, various partners and
stakeholders, the community and DILG Central Luzon’s dedicated workforce who act consistently
with a developing sense of collective ownership in attaining a shared vision of sustaining peace,
progress, and resiliency in the Region.

Hence, I can truly say, “Its all worth it”.

As we face the coming years ahead of us, let us remain to be catalysts of positive change and
serve our people with renewed enthusiasm and vigor on our commitment to truth, transparency,
and public interest. And may we continue to share the responsibilities, risks and rewards towards
a greater purpose.

ARD’s Message

For the year 2017, the Department of the Interior and
Local Government Region 03 again served as a catalyst
for excellence in local governance and opened greater
opportunities for growth to its clientele.
Despite some pushbacks which are always inevitable,
DILG Central Luzon stayed on track and on target to
meet its goals and fulfill its vision of sustaining peaceful,
progressive, and resilient communities in the region.

All these turned into reality because of the continuous support and cooperation of our local
government units and various partners and stakeholders in the implementation of the
Department’s projects and programs.
Moreover, these will not be possible without the competent workforce whose passion and hard
work manifested significant contribution to the DILG Region 03’s success this year.
Being part of this workforce is truly an honor. It has been a pleasure to be one of these people who
dedicate their lives in providing quality service to the public.
In my more than seven (7) years stint in Region 03, I have come to realize that being a part of an
organization is a lot more than just sharing credit, it is more of sharing responsibility towards the
attainment of a shared vision.
I will leave DILG Region 03 with great pride and I wish everyone to continue to experience success,
serve well, and be Matino, Mahusay at Maasahan at all times.

THE

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Throughout the year, the Office endeavored in various activities towards the
achievement of the Department’s five outcome areas, which the Region coined as BEST:
Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs; Environment Friendly, Climate Change Adaptive
and Disaster-Resilient LGUs; Socially-Protective and Safe LGUs; and Transparent, Account-
able, Participative and Effective Local Governance. More importantly, this level
implemented vital capability building interventions that further honed the skills and
knowledge of personnel leading to a Strengthened Internal Organizational Capacity.

The efforts and commitment carried out by our strong workforce ensured that
DILG Region 03 smoothly implemented its programs and projects that actualize the
Department’s goals and objectives.

The Region remains steadfast with the vision of promoting excellence in local
governance. This is largely seen through the capacity development activities that
were designed to assist LGUs in optimizing their capabilities to better serve their
constituents. Such activities aimed to foster competitive and economically-strong LGUs,
develop environmentally-adaptive and disaster resilient communities, and aid financially-
challenged municipalities.

As the President called on to cut down bureaucracy and to streamline processes
in the government, the ease of doing business in the country was changed particularly in
the issuance of Business Permits and Licensing System. Hence, a new set of standards
are now being implemented to ensure that the LGUs are providing an easier, more
convenient and business-friendly service to their clienteles.

DILG Region 03 firmly supported the President's advocacy against illegal drugs,
criminality, and corruption program, and remained grounded in our mission of ensuring
public safety, promoting peace, and order and strengthening people participation. A proof
to this is the newly-launched community-based program that aims to mobilize people
in order to put an end to criminality, corruption, and illegal drugs. Through this,
ordinary people were empowered to become champions for safe, peaceful, drug-free and
corruption-free communities.

This level unceasingly promoted transparency, accountability, participation and
effectiveness in local governance as observed through the LGUs compliance in the Full

THE

EXECUTIVE

SUMMARY

Disclosure Policy (FDP), region wide assessment on the Seal of Good Local Governance
(SGLG), and implementation of Performance Challenge Funds (PCF) projects.

Serving as an incentive given to LGUs conferred with Seal of Good Local
Governance (SGLG), 56 LGUs were awarded with Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) for
F.Y. 2017 amounting to 3 million pesos for Provincial Governments, 2.4 million pesos for
Cities and 2 million pesos for Municipalities.

Completion of programs funded through the Bottom-Up Budgeting (BuB), which
ended in 2017, was keenly monitored and fast-tracked. Furthermore, DILG Region 03 has
provided technical assistance to 14 Cities and 116 Municipalities to thresh out issues and
concerns and help address gaps in the performance of LGUs commitments. Succeeding the
program, the Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities (ADM) also provided assistance
to 116 Municipalities in the Region to help them provide the necessities in their respec-
tive communities.

Management plans, systems, and productivity improvement were continuously
given emphasis through the conduct of regular planning and program evaluation,
regional conferences, and regional summit among the regional management, technical
staff, administrative staff and field personnel.

The Office strongly advocated its programs through intensified media interviews
and guestings, press releases and newsletter [DILG R03 Insights] features, social media
posts, and expansion of the regional website linked with the 7 Provincial Office websites.

Most qualified personnel were hired through established regional screening
policies and processes, regularly undertaken to ensure the selection of the cream of the
crop amongst young breed of professionals.

Through all the painstaking work, we believe that sooner enough, our LGUs will be
able to fully achieve their potentials in order to become self-reliant and progressive, thus,
achieving the ultimate goal of being autonomous.

Evidently, the Department was able to harmonize its values and programs to the
demands of the events and situations in 2017. And all these became possible because of
every men and women faithfully working in service to Filipino people.
