The LGUs have already institutionalized the LGPMs through the DILG Field Officers. With the SGLG implementation in 2014, the LGPMS is made as an operational platform. This means that the LGPMS is made as a central collection and storage of data and an information platform for performance in thematic areas, financial profile and LGU Profile. LGPMS is also used as performance trending and benchmarking as well as information use for planning and research purposes. For 2015, no activities involving the LGPMS under SGLG were undertaken yet. This is because the assessment of the 2016 SGLG has not yet started. LGU Health Scorecard The LGU Health Scorecard is a regular undertaking of the Department of Health which is a mechanism used to assess the health reform outcomes as well as to track progress of health reform implementation of each local government unit. Since 2010, the DOH partnered with the DILG for the implementation of the LGU Health Scorecard. DILG’s role starts from Data Gathering and Certification wherein DILG Field Officers facilitated the accomplishment of the Data Capture Form (DCF) by the Health Officer and the LGU finance officers. Then, submitted it to the DILG Provincial Focal Person for the review of the Provincial Health Office and the Department of Health (DOH). This year, data gathering and submission of DCF was from July 16-August 12, 2015. All the 48 local government units of Bohol accomplished and submitted the DCF. The rest of the activities like facilitation for the Data Review, Reconciliation and Aggregation were taken charged by the Provincial Focal Person, LGOO VI Ma. Reina Quilas. She was also responsible for the on-line data encoding of the DCFs of all 47 municipalities, 1 city and the provincial government at the LGPMS website. This year’s LGU Health Scorecard implementation was a success with the collaboration and partnership of the DILG, DOH and the LGUs.

At the local level, the Program helps select LGU alliances develop and implement their LED approaches. In Bohol, LGSP-LED was implemented in BIAD V municipalities composed of Bilar, Batuan, Carmen, Sierra-Bullones, Pilar, Dagohoy, Danao, and Sagbayan under Batch 1 Project and the municipalities of Panglao, Dauis and Baclayon known together as an LGU alliance called PaDaYon Bohol Marine Triangle (PaDaYon BMT) under Batch 2 where tourism is a primary industry. With the technical assistance extended to BIAD V, the Center for Agribusiness and Sustainable Agriculture or CASA has incorporated rice duck farming and vermi-composting technologies and facilities in its curricula. CASA was able to train 66 farmers from the BIAD V municipalities with direct support from DILG. Equipment to improve packaging and product quality were provided to Carmen Samahang Nayon Multipurpose Cooperative (CSNMPC). The Cooperative also learned business planning that led to the acquisition of its own rice mill. Balay sa Humay in the municipality of Batuan was able to enhance its Rice Museum and Cultural Collective performance offerings that promote organic rice to visitors. Balay sa Humay is an additional stopover tourist attraction to and from Chocolate Hills. The technical assistance extended to Baclayon for the development and marketing of Heritage Tourism has resulted into the opening of the Baclayon Heritage Café (please see FB page: Baclayon Heritage Café) which now serves as a hub of all the tourism products and activities of Baclayon.

Launching Of The DILG-LED Program For Bohol Province The original planned activity following the Convergence Planning of LGSP-LED initiatives in BIAD V and PaDaYon municipalities was to conduct a formal turnover activity to the Provincial Government by presenting the transition of the support function from LGSP-LED to the province. This however was found irrelevant and untimely due to the length of time between the last activities conducted in both project sites. With LGSP-LED ending in 2016 and realizing the need for the different sector players to be continuously involved and committed in providing support to the LED initiatives started by LGSP in Bohol, this Office successfully conducted a Launching Activity of the DILG-LED Program for Bohol Province on October 27, 2015 at the Dagohoy Grand Ballroom, Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City attended by all City and Municipal Mayors, Local Investment and Promotion Officers, LGSP-LED project site beneficiaries, academe, business sectors represented by the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) and the Bohol Association of Hotels, Resorts and Restaurants (BAHRR), partner National Government Agencies (NGAs) and the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh) through the Bohol Employment and Promotion Office (BEPO), Bohol Information, Communication and Technology Unit (BICTU), Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPA), Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO), Provincial Tourism Office (PTO), and the Bohol Investment and Promotion Office (BIPC).

Organic rice production and tourism stakeholders from the Provincial Government, LGUs, NGAs and private sectors in Bohol attended the two-day activity allowing the opportunity for the partners and stakeholders to discuss issues related to both concerns. As the partners shared their future plans on how to sustain the initiatives started with LGSP-LED, stakeholders expressed their commitments by including the identified activities/initiatives in programs on organic rice farming and tourism. Having seen the future plans and commitments, the group realized the need to sit down and discuss further the terms of responsibilities and commitment as well as polish the plans of the initiatives on promoting organic rice farming, market-supply linkage and workforce development. Stressing sustainability of the LGSP-LED technical assistance, DILG-Bohol LED Focal Mary Ann Aparece-Verga emphasized the need to create teams to ensure and monitor implementation. The group was divided into three clusters: (1) Tourism, (2) Agriculture, and (3) Business. Using a template, the three clusters identified activities, specific tasks, implementation dates and resources needed. A follow-up Convergence Planning Activity was conducted on March 23, 2015 at the MetroCentre Hotel, Tagbilaran City to validate commitments given by stakeholders to BIAD V and PaDaYon municipalities and come up with specific action plans on the sustainability of the initiatives of LGSP-LED project for handover to the Provincial Government and DILG.
