BUSINESS-FRIENDLY AND COMPETITIVE LGUS HIGHLIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENT

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs 143 ACCELERATING INVESTMENTS FOR MORE BUSINESS IN LGUs (BUILDING BUSINESS-FRIENDLY AND COMPETITIVE LGUs ) In support to the National Agenda for inclusive growth and poverty reduction, one of the outcomes in DILG’s Program is the promotion of Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs. BFCL is a condition where LGUs spur sustainable economic growth by engaging the business sectors; promoting local trades and businesses; and generating employment through implementation of programs and projects that boost their economic and business potentials. Under the BFCL Program, DILG 7 identified the Municipality of Panglao and the City of Tagbilaran to benefit several capacity-building activities it has recently conducted. One of which is the Training on the Development/Formulation of LGU Business Plan, Local Investment and Incentive Code (LIIC) and Local Revenue Code (LRC) on October 5-9, 2015 at DepEd ECOTECH Center, Cebu City participated by the Sanggunian Committee Chair on Economic Affairs, City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (C/MPDCs), Local Investment and Promotion Officers (LEIPOs), City/Municipal Local Government Operations Officers (C/MLGOOs), City/ Municipal Treasurer and business sector representatives. Said LGUs were likewise invited during the Training-Workshop on Capacity Development for Local Economic and Investment Promotion Officers on Investment Promotion for Visayas Cluster (Regions 6, 7 and 8) on November 4-6, 2015 at Northwinds Hotel, Cebu City. Coaching on Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs (BFCL) for LEIPOS and DILG Provincial Led Focal The Department of the Interior and Local Government continues to intensify its support for local governments to be front liners of inclusive growth by advocating for LGUs to become more business-friendly and competitive. Through its Canada-backed program, the Local Governance Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED), DILG through the Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) conducted a Coaching Session on BFCL for DILG Regional and Provincial LED Focal and selected LEIPOs all over the 18 target sites in the Philippines on January 22-23, 2015 at Brentwood Suites, Quezon City. DILG first introduced the designation of LEIPOs to LGUs in 2010 after President Aquino declared that creating jobs was the government’s top priority under his leadership. LEIPOs are primarily tasked to oversee policies, programs, and services on local economic development, promote investment in the locality, as well as maintain an economic database of an LGU. LEIPO Apolinar Fudalan presented Panglao’s Tag Line

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol 144Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs Through the coaching session, participating LEIPOs were refreshed and updated on what it takes for an LGU to be more conducive for business growth. LGSP-LED project sites in Bohol were able to identify gaps needed to be addressed in their current policies and programs and enumerate specific action items to fast track job creation in their communities. By capacitating DILG LED focal, DILG hopes to gauge how business-friendly LGUs are at present and how to further help local governments transition to be more business-friendly. Organizing and Strengthening Local Economic and Investment Structure: Bohol’s Foremost Initiative in Building Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs (BFCL) Given the huge role of LGU in local economic development, it is important that an appropriate and relevant structure be organized in the local level. Local economic promotion can be best advanced with the help of a structure or a person leading investment promotions and marketing of local assets to attract investments and other business activities in the locality. Considering the significant role of LGUs in achieving inclusive growth, DILG-Bohol continuously extended technical assistance for the functionality of the Local Economic Investment and Development Promotion (LEIDP) Office and trained Local Economic Investment Promotion Officer (LEIPOs) to make them competent to perform their duties and functions. By virtue of DILG MC No. 2010-113 dated October 13, 2010 all the 48 LGUs, this province designated a LEIPO who are expected to play active role in attracting more investments through promotion and marketing of the LGU as investment location.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol 146Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs Customized Activity: Capability Building Training on Investment Promotion: An Inter-Agency Collaboration of DILG, DTI and BOI As pursued by different business and investment assisting entities in both national and local levels operating in the Province, Bohol has constantly set purposive directions to ensure conducive and favorable business environment. To make a big push on the purposive directions, DILG-Bohol in partnership with DTI and BIPC supported the Domestic Investments Promotion Service (DIPS) of the Board of Investments (BOI) in conducting a two-day Capability Building Training on Investment Promotion focusing on Project Plan Preparation on October 13-14, 2015 at Café Dolores, Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City with three main objectives of capacitating LEIPOs on project plan preparation; generate investment projects for business matching or registration with the BOI; and update the frontliners with the rules and procedures to do business in the Philippines. The Office have been supporting other agencies and private sector partners’ commitments, programs and activities in creating and building a business friendly and competitive LGUs. Customized Activity: Negosyo Center Opens to Aid Business Prospects Economic boom gets an additional leverage as the Province launched its second Negosyo Center on September 4, 2015 at the former Bohol Investment Promotion Center, Capitol building Tagbilaran City with Sen. Paolo Benigno “Bam” Aquino as guest of honor who authored the Go Negosyo Act in 2014. Senator Aquino explained that a Negosyo Center has four main functions. One is providing link on financing for micro, small and medium enterprises or entrepreneurs. Another is mentorship where business counselors will be there for constant help to guide the entrepreneur throughout the process. It also serves as one-stop shop for the processing of requirements to make doing business easy. Another function is the marketing support to link the entrepreneurs with trade fairs and other major product outlets as it had been noticed that there have been many high quality products which often do not reach the larger market. Ribbon cutting of Bohol’s second Negosyo Center was led by no less than Sen. Bam Aguino, assisted by Gov. Chatto, Mayor Yap, and DTI 7 RD Caberte

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs 147 Bohol is suiting up to be an adjunct to the development of industries with the establishment of the center that promotes ease of doing business and ensures access to services for even micro-enterprises. The PGBh, DTI and DILG act as industry partners that can be source of competent technical expertise including business planning and review of feasibility study, to accelerate the implementation of the program. The Negosyo Center is a convergence point for the Provincial Government; partner National Government Agencies, MSME Development Council, LGUs and private sector for easier business ways and surer access to services. Customized Activity: DILG-Bohol Supports NCC Competitiveness Research-Survey Roadshow In support to inter-agency commitments on Building-Friendly and Competitive LGUs (BFCL), this Office partnered with DTI and PGBh in conducting a two-day NCC Competitiveness Research-Survey Roadshow on July 2-3, 2015 at the MetroCentre Hotel, Tagbilaran City to enhance the competitiveness ranking of the different LGUs in the Province by advocating them to provide complete and right information on the indicators use in the NCC survey. As local competitiveness is considered an important driver in enhancing the long-term national competitive, the roadshow was attended by all Local Chief Executives (LCEs), City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (C/MPDCs), and Local Economic and Investment Promotion Officers (LEIPOs) to ensure compliance of LGUs on the said survey. While most of the municipalities included in the research in Central Visayas had improved their rankings in 2014, it is sad to note that the average completion rate of the survey instrument in the region is only 62.67% with lack of information or data of the respondents at the LGU level as the primary reason.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol 148Business-Friendly and Competitive LGUs DILG 7 Picks Tagbilaran Among Region’s Additional RS4LG Targets For 2015 For the country to be at par with the rest of the ASEAN countries as far the ease of doing business is concerned, DILG 7 conducted Training on Regulatory Simplification for Local Governments (RS4LG) for BPLS Focal Persons and Business Permit and Licensing Officers (BPLOs) of target project sites on March 12, 2015 at Golden Peak Hotel and Suites, Cebu City, aimed at making LGUs become more business-friendly and competitive by analyzing the existing procedures in business licensing and identifying possible steps which can be restricted, modernized or totally eliminated, if possible. The DILG through the Local Government Academy (LGA) in partnership with the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank (IFC-WB) is implementing the RS4LG to improve a city’s processes in starting a business by fostering a business climate that will contribute to both private sector development and the city economic development. It involves a comprehensive review of regulatory framework with the objective of removing unnecessary requirements in registering a business. Tagbilaran City BPLO Samuel Belderol expressed commitment to help CLGOO Mardonio Roxas convince City Mayor John Geesnell Yap to implement the RS4LG, as the project complements the existing BPLS Program and enhance the LGU’s competitiveness as an investment destination complemented by a better-planned and managed urban growth. DILG-Bohol Holds RS4LG Orientation for Tagbilaran City On becoming more innovative and business-friendly, the City Government of Tagbilaran is not actually resting on its laurels and being complacent on its rank as the 28th most competitive city from among the 136 cities assessed by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) in 2014. Following the one-day Orientation on RS4LG for Tagbilaran City Officials and Functionaries on June 5, 2015 at Flamingo, Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City, Mayor John Geesnell L. Yap II expressed commitment to implement the program all for the city’s economic development.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol Strengthened Internal Organizational Capacity 157 Programs and Project Monitoring System (PPMS) The Department of the Interior and Local Government created the Programs and Project Monitoring System (PPMS) to inform the Filipino people about the different projects under the department. It is an online web based application for monitoring and evaluating DILG Projects. Through this web based application, Filipinos will learn the different projects implemented in their area as well as in the whole country. They will know the project profiles of each project. Under the project profile it includes the following information of the project: the implementing agency of the project, the project title, the project description, the project status, the project allocation, the number of beneficiaries of the project, the location of the project, the officials of this project, the Barangay covered, the Beneficiaries feedback of the project, and photos of the project. Filipinos may access or see the photos of each project and its stages of physical accomplishment from before the project started, 30 percent completion, 60 percent completion, 90 percent completion, 100 percent completion or Completed projects, and Turn over photos of each project. Anyone may have a copy of the project profile just by clicking the “Save as Image” button and may participate through making comments in each DILG projects. It improves the transparency and accountability of the programs and projects made within the department because the PPMS served also as an information hub of the project description, physical status and financial releases of each project. The DILG projects in the Bohol Province are the following: Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG) Grassroots Participatory Planning (GPP) Potable Water Supply Local Access and Local Government Unit (LGU) Infrastructure Special Local Road Fund (SLRF) Bohol Earthquake Assistance (BEA) Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) Considering the bulk of projects under BEA, DILG Bohol has the largest number of projects in the entire region whose information needs to be entered and updated in the system.

These personnel were oriented on the basics of the PPMS such as the manner on accessing the portal, creation of account, management of the projects, updating the project profile, generating a template or customized reports and many others. Their responsibility is mainly to assist the DILG Field Officers in the uploading of photos to the PPMS.

This intervention involves primarily the design and conduct of a series of four-regional cluster workshops which are focused on the capacity development/strengthening of DILG and its personnel. This Phase 2 HR/OD intervention is meant to address the gaps identified by DILG which was primarily the need for the development of its personnel applying the RbME framework and system in the locally-funded projects across 17 regions of the country. It is expected that the RbME System is institutionalized through the enhanced capacities of DILG personnel in its operationalization and application. In effect, the RbME system’s institutionalization on all the regions will eventually contribute to the achievement of the sectoral outcome on sustainable development-oriented local government. To demonstrate competencies in applying the RbME System in the respective development programs and plans through simulations and workshops in the Project Development and Management Unit of DILG-Bohol, LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong, Focal Person of the Bohol Earthquake Assistance, attended the Regional Workshops on the Dissemination and Application of the Results-Based Monitoring and Evaluation (RbME) Framework and System in Apo View Hotel, Davao City on September 7-9, 2015. At the end of the workshop a Re-Entry Action Plan was formulated for the attainment of thorough understanding and appreciation of the RbME principles, mechanisms and processes. Another objective is for the unification and harmonization of the DILG VII LG Sector Overall Results Framework (ORF) and the adoption and application of Results Framework for the seven locally-funded projects (PRF) in all operating units. Lastly, for the DILG Management to make better decision on fund releases, such as the BEA incentives due to accurate monitoring and evaluation reporting. 5S Program The 5S Program of DILG VII is sustained by DILG-Bohol as demonstrated by the presentable DILG-Bohol Provincial Office with its new office tables and revolving chairs and the newly painted office dividers.

It was participated by DILG personnel coming from Region VI, VII and VIII. The activity aims to use the tools for analyzing LGU performance and capacity, and developing a CapDev Agenda. Techincial Report Writing for LGOO IV and LGOO V Being well informed about technical writing and having skills in using writing tools are important in DILG as knowledge can make the work easier. Also, having knowledge and skills makes one feel better about oneself and esteem grows proportionate to the ease at which one can perform the job. Writing is considered an important job requirement in DILG. Still, in spite the high value that the Department put on writing skills, a significant numbers of employees need more capacity-building in improving writing quality. In its ongoing effort to examine the role of writing in the Office, the Local Government Academy (LGA) sponsored a four-day Technical Report Writing for LGOO IV and V on December 2-4, 2015 at Cebu Business Hotel, Cebu City attended by selected DILG regional and provincial staff from eight regions to revitalize technical report writing skills among DILG personnel with Associate Professor Rosella M. Torrecampo of the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman as resource person. Aside from knowledge can make the work easier, it also increases esteem and makes one more valuable to the Department. CBMS Training for PCs Over the years, CBMS has been helpful in assisting LGUs in the implementation of their programs and projects. Seventy Five (75) provinces all over the Philippines have adopted it. Thirty two (32) of these provinces including the Province of Bohol are implementing it province-wide. For the Fiscal Year 2016, it has been included in the Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB) Menu of Projects, thus, an increasing number of LGUs to pursue CBMS implementation are expected. Moreover, an increasing demand of technical assistance on the conduct of modular trainings is anticipated. Hence, re-tooling of accredited trainers and adding of members to this pool is needed. The Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) in partnership with the CBMS Network Coordinating Team of the Angelo King Institute of De La Salle University have conducted a four (4)-module National Training of Trainers on CBMS (see Table 50), participated by Regional and Provincial Focal Persons.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol 170Strengthened Internal Organizational Capacity Roll Out on the Localization of the Magna Carta of Women With the DILG Field’s Officer role of providing technical assistance and reviewing the GAD Plan and Budgets of LGUs, there is a need to capacitate these DILG Officers in order for them to effectively discharge their functions. Thus, Field Officers underwent the Roll Out on the Localization of the Magna Carta of Women on December 8-9, 2015 at Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City. The main purpose of which is to orient Field Officers on the amendments of DBM, DILG, NEDA & PCW Joint Memo Circular 2013-01 which will serve as a guide in the 2017 GAD Planning and Budgeting. By building the capacities of Field Officers, capacity building of LGUs is also ensured. Training of Trainers on Social Protection Poverty incidence in the Philippines remains to be a problem. The exposure to risks of the population may be seen as one of the many dimensions of poverty. The poor are typically more exposed to risk and least protected from it. With the Government’s increasing attention to reform and reinforce its social protection system, the DSWD is undertaking a Social Protection Program that leads to the development of the Social Protection Vulnerability and Adaptation Manual (SP VAM), which is a tool for assessing vulnerabilities to various risks at the local level. Through JMC No. 01, series of 2015 between DSWD and DILG that enjoins all LGUs to utilize the SP VAM as reference in planning, budgeting, implementing, monitoring and evaluating social protection programs, DILG 7 regional and provincial focal persons on children were invited to attend the Social Protection Trainers Training for Visayas Cluster (Regions VI, VII VIII) from April 20-24, 2015 at Hotel del Rio, Iloilo City. The weeklong knowledge sharing on SP VAM capacitated the participants form DILG and LGUs on social protection assessment, analysis and planning. By bringing together stakeholders from various agencies in assessing the LGU situation, as well as risks and vulnerabilities, a common understanding can be drawn towards actions for social protection. Innovation: Refresher Course on RA 6713 Capacity enhancement for D’ONE Cluster Field Officers was among the concerns of the members during the Strategic Planning Workshop conducted on the first month of the year 2015. Capacitating them is one of the means to nurture their knowledge and positive values and make them empowered to become strong and dynamic organic personnel of the Department. Although they are facilitators and resource speakers in trainings, they strongly believe in the adage “never stop learning because life never stops teaching”. One of the identified capacity enhancement was the Refresher Course on RA 6713 or the Code of Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees. The activity was conducted on November 13, 2015 at the DILG Provincial Office, Tagbilaran City. All members of D’ONE Cluster attended the activity. It was a source of metanoia for the cluster members, a reflection of what they have done in the past – leading to the change of heart or a redirection if any, to be the best among the rest of DILG personnel.

DILG Provincial focal on LED is tasked to assist LEIPOs connect with other national line agencies, private sectors and other stakeholders for joint initiatives; provide data on investment as well as services available in LGUs, to include product development and packaging, marketing and business development and promotion. Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction-Climate Change Adaptation in Comprehensive Land Use Plan and Zoning Ordinance The importance of mainstreaming DRR-CCA in the development processes such as policy formulation, socio-economic development planning, budgeting and governance, particularly in the area of environment, agriculture, water, energy, health, education, poverty reduction, land-use and urban planning and public infrastructure and housing, among others. This is achieved through activities such as development of common tools to analyze various hazards and vulnerability factors which put communities and people in harm’s way. In connection with the implementation of the “DRRM/CCA Policies and Standardization Project, HLURB has released the Enhanced CLUP Guide Book – a Guide to Comprehensive Lan Use Plan Preparation which mainstreams DRR-CCA in the planning process which is to be implemented, LGUs are to be capacitated and guided. Considering DILG’s vital role in the review of CLUPs of CCMs, HUCs and ICCs, the Office of the Civil Defense has initiated a Training Orientation on Mainstreaming Disaster Risk Reduction and Climate Change Adaptation in the CLUP and ZO for Regional and Provincial Offices was conducted on November 9-13, 2015 at Harolds Hotel, Cebu City. LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong, Focal Person on DRR-CCA, was among the participants of the said training. LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong with LGOO VI Ma. Reina A. Quilas also attended the Strategic Planning Workshop on Mainstreaming DDM/CCA in Planning Process which was conducted on November 4, 2015 at Wellcome Hotel, Cebu City. Incident Command System The growing frequency and intensity of natural disasters and calamities call for an efficient and coordinated disaster response management mechanism both at the national and local levels to prevent the loss of lives and properties and ensure the safety of our communities.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol 172Strengthened Internal Organizational Capacity The Incident Command System is a standard, on-scene, all hazard incident management concept that can be used by all DRRM Councils, emergency management and response agencies. It is a disaster response tool that coordinates the actions of different groups by blending their complex organizational structures. Recognizing the importance of coordination and interoperability among concerned agencies in times of disasters, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG), in partnership with the Office of the Civil Defense (OCD) conducted a three-day training on Basic Incident Command System (ICS) on August 24-26, 2015. The training enabled the participants to understand the importance of ICS and its vital role for effective disaster response. Among the 29 participants from the DILG, PNP and BFP is LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong, DILG Bohol Focal Person on Disaster Risk Reduction and Management. Since the training on Incident Command System is a ladderized training, Level II of the training was the Course on Integrated Planning which was successfully conducted on October 5-9, 2015 at Subic Bay Travelers Hotel, Subic, Zambales. The training enabled the participants to demonstrate the knowledge and utilize the tolls necessary to perform the duties and responsibilities of the Planning Section Chief and Unit Leaders in the Incident Command System organization. LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong was also among the 39 participants in the said training. Climate Change Expenditure Tagging The Philippine is addressing climate change to the maximum with our limited resources and so we are to tag our public expenditure on climate change to ensure that the appropriate prioritization and allocation of funds is achieved. The tagging of climate change expenditures in our budgets would ensure that the climate change actions are not only backed up with funds but are also effectively monitored. For FY 2016, JMC 2015-01 was issued on Revised Guidelines for Tagging/Tracking Climate Change Expenditures in the Local Budget (Amending JMC 2014-01). The JMC provides guidelines to track, monitor and report climate change programs, projects and activities to enable oversight and line department managers to monitor climate change-related expenditures and to define and clarify responsibilities of national government agencies, the DBM and CCC relative to the climate change expenditure tagging at the various stages of the budgeting process. A Training for Trainers on Climate Change Expenditure Tagging, initiated by World Bank Group, was conducted on August 6, 2015 at Hotel Elizabeth, Cebu City. LGOO V Niña Christine M. Ipong, Focal Person on DRRCCA, and LGOO V Josie M. Montes, Training Coordinator, attended the said training. LGOO V Niña Christine M.

2015 Annual Report DILG-Bohol Strengthened Internal Organizational Capacity 173 Innovation: Seminar- Workshop in Engineering for Non-Engineers The DILG Provincial Office recognized the need for enhancing the technical capabilities in project monitoring to ensure smooth and timely implementation of projects. In response to this need, OPDS through BEA PMO has started the knowledge transfer and enhancement of technical skill in monitoring project implementation, not only of BEA project but also of other OPDS projects. Thus, last April 21-24, 2015 at Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City, City/Municipal Local Government Operation Officers participated the four day activity with Engr. Virgilio Columna and Engr. Willie Lopez as the resource person. Since most of the field officers have no engineering background, the engineering seminar-workshop for non-engineers enabled them to recognize and familiarize themselves on engineering terminologies and processes to equip them in monitoring infrastructure projects. These include looking at engineering documents and project schedules of implementation in the pre-implementation phase and during construction of the facilities in their areas. This is also in line with the instruction of progress monitoring of project status at 30%, 60%, and 90% completion as required by the DILG Management. Innovation: Training Seminar on Effective Project Management and Monitoring As member of the Project Management Office created in the local government units, City/Municipal Local Government Operation Officers recognized that they are not perfect project managers, but are tasked with monitoring and reporting on the progress of on-going projects in their municipalities. This responsibility is crucial in ensuring that local government units (LGUs) abide by the guidelines imposed by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) in the identification, detailed design, procurement, award and implementation of projects under DILG’s various programs. Thus, the person responsible in management and monitoring must possess the necessary knowledge to understand the requirements in the implementation of infrastructure projects, identify and resolve implementation issues and assist the LGUs in completing their projects within the agreed schedule, according to the estimated budget and complying with the detailed specifications of the project. Hence, The Training Seminar on Effective Project Management and Monitoring that was held last August 25-28, 2015 and September 1-4, 2015 at Bohol Tropics Resort, Tagbilaran City was participated by the selected members of the Project Management Office of the local government units specifically the City/Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators, City/Municipal Engineers and City/Municipal Local Government Operation Officers.
