Message of the Provincial Director Annual Report 2014 |  BOHOL PROVINCE Greetings of solidarity! Another year has ended. Year 2014 has been an event-filled and fruitful year for DILG Bohol. I say fruitful because it was marked with many events, accomplishments and milestones which would not have been possible without the perseverance, dedication and team spirit of the men and women of DILG Bohol. Mindful that DILG is not merely output producer but more importantly contributor to the societal outcome, DILG Bohol continuously do its mandates and strengthened its personnel in order to influence and transform LGUs, making them development-oriented and good governance practitioners. I am honoured to present this 2014 Annual Report which accounts the extent with which we deliver the programs, projects and activities of the department. These PPAs are in accordance with the four outcome areas which the LGUs need to be strengthened in order to contribute to the achievement of inclusive growth for the country and poverty reduction. This Annual Report also accounts the “Bohol Earthquake Assistance” (BEA) which is intended for Bohol’s Building Back Better after the onslaught of the 7.2 magnitude earthquake. It involves the rehabilitation, repair and reconstruction of government buildings and infrastructure with a fund allocation of P2.389 Billion. The journey in 2014 was never an easy one. It was characterized with challenges, new tasks which seem to be different from the usual ones, but thanks to the support of all stakeholders, the journey was manageable. For what DILG Bohol reaped in 2014, we will be forever grateful to the DILG Central and Regional Management, the local government units through the officials and functionaries, and also the other stakeholders especially the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) for their unceasing support. As we move to another year of significant engagement with the LGUs, may we be continuously inspired and strengthened with the blessings from the Almighty Father, and the support from the different stakeholders. Onwards for good governance! MA LOISELLA E. LUCINO Provincial Director i

Once again, congratulations as I look forward to our sustained partnership as we continue to strive for public service excellence come year 2015 for the benefit and welfare of the Boholano people. ATTY. EDGAR M. CHATTO Governor Chairman, RDC-7 ii


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annual Report 2014 |  BOHOL PROVINCE 1 In line with the DILG’s mandate of general supervision over local governments, DILG Bohol continuously undertake programs, projects and activities to make LGUs business friendly and competitive, environment protective, climate change adaptive, disaster resilient, socially protective and safe, as well as making LGUs accountable, transparent, participative and effective. These are the key elements for LGUs to contribute to the attainment of national goals, leading to sustainable development. To facilitate Local Economic Development, all the 48 LGUs sustained the Business Permit and Licensing System (BPLS) implementation which started in 2010. The BPLS paves the way for streamlined processes and steps in accessing permits and licenses. The Enhanced Tax Revenue Assessment and Collection System (eTRACS), an automated system for revenue assessment and collection was also implemented in 45 LGUs to hasten processes and services. The DILG was one of the agencies behind these accomplishments. Moreover, all the 49 LGUs designated a Local Economic Investment Promotion Officer (LEIPO) who played an active role in attracting more investments through promotion and marketing of the LGU as an investment location. DILG conducted trainings in partnership with Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) and Bohol Investment and Promotion Center (BIPC) for the LEIPOs’ acquisition of relevant knowledge and skills. DILG was instrumental in the drafting of the Local Investment and Incentives Code (LIIC) of the five (5) municipalities namely, San Isidro, Clarin, Batuan, Loboc, and Dauis. LGUs had planning workshops facilitated by DILG and DTI to come up with the draft code. While, the Local Government Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED), which assists LGUs for local economic development is now on its last year of implementation since it commenced in 2011. LGSP-LED projects in Bohol are the “strengthening of organic rice production” in the Bohol Integrated Area Development Cluster (BIAD V) LGUs and the “Workforce Development Project and Market-Supply Linkages” in Panglao-Dauis-Baclayon Bohol Marine Triangle (PaDaYon BMT). The latter established the Bohol Skills Registry System (BSRS), an online job-skills matching system. The Skills Training for Accelerated Growth in Local Governments (STAG-LG) is another key program of DILG would provide the necessary intervention in workforce development. The comprehensive database of Outof-Scholl Youth (OSY) devised Under the Abot-Alam project, would be used in determining beneficiaries for the upcoming Skills Training for STAG-LG of DILG in the 11 target LGSP project sites by 2015. For the provision of support infrastructure for economic activities, DILG continued to play a significant role in implementation of the Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF), which is in its fourth year of implementation. In 2014, Bohol implemented 12 contracts with a total road length of 124.62 kms. With DILG at the helm in the procurement and contract management, the DILG Provincial Director is the Procurement Entity Representative (PER) in all 12 sub-projects. This led to the designation of eight LGOOs as Assistant Procurement Entity Representatives (Assistant PERs) for monitoring and evaluation. Moreover, the Provincial Project Development Management Unit (PDMU) was also reorganized. DILG continued to play an active role in the implementation of the Special Local Road Fund (SLRF). In


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 |    |  BOHOL PROVINCE BOHOL PROVINCE 2 2014, the city of Tagbilaran received a Statement of Allotment Release Order (SARO) amounting to P2.6M from the Special Local Road Fund under the Motor Vehicle Users Charge (MVUC) for CY 2012 to rehabilitate roads. While, the Province of Bohol’s P11M share from the 5% MUVC is yet to be implemented subject to the release of check from the DPWH. DILG Bohol also actively involved in implementing the Coordinating Road Investments for local economic development and poverty reduction in Bohol province. This is in partnership with the Bohol Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI). A Coordinated Road Investments Plan (CRIP) was crafted containing the prioritized roads of the LGUs. For transparency and effective promotion & communication of LGU undertakings, all the 1,109 barangays of Bohol conducted their respective barangay assemblies for the first and second semester of CY 2014. DILG Prov’l. Director Lucino created a Speakers’ Bureau for the dissemination of relevant programs to select LGUs during the assembly. In line with its performance oversight function, monitoring of compliance to national laws and policies including the programs just mentioned, was done under the Policy Audit and Compliance Tracking System (PACTS) through the submission of periodic reports by the field officers. DILG’s interventions geared towards business friendly and competitive LGUs paid off with the accolades recently received by LGUs. The National Competitiveness Council (NCC) disclosed the top three most business competitive municipalities in Region 7. Talibon landed 1st place in the whole of Central Visayas and ranked 24th all over the Philippines from among the 399 municipalities covered this year. The Municipality of Tubigon ranked 2nd in the region and 26th nationwide, followed by Ubay in the 3rd spot and 39th in the country. While Tagbilaran City ranked 28th as the most competitive city from among the 136 cities assessed in 2014, and ranked 2nd at the regional level. The Philippines is constantly besieged with disasters and the harmful effects of climate change. The DILG has a tall order of making Local Government Units environment protective, climate change adaptive and disaster resilient. DILG builds up the capacities of local government units in order to mainstream environmental protection, Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR) and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) in local government processes. DILG’s advocacy and technical assistance led to the organization and functionality of the Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC) in the provincial, city and all the 47 municipal governments. Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Office (LDRRMO) was established as well. However, some LDRRM Office continued to be manned with limited personnel owing to the LGU’s budgetary limitation. Similar structures in all the 1,109 barangays were also organized and strengthened. DILG in collaboration with other agencies, conducted trainings/seminars on Environmental Protection, DRR/CCA. It also partnered with Civil Society Organizations and humanitarian groups for capability building activities. It is noteworthy to mention that not only the Councils, Boards and personnel in offices were trained but also the different emergency responders and the local residents. To guide residents during the occurrence of hazards, A Family Guide to Action was formulated by DILG and distributed in all the 1,109 barangays. Different fora were also organized like the DRRM Summit and the Roadshow on “Iba na Ang Panahon” for the sharing of best practices on environmental protection and DRR/CCA, as well as updates of pertinent legisla-

DILG and other agencies’ capability building and technical assistance led to the formulation and enhancement of the Comprehensive Development Plan with mainstreamed DRR/CCA in 25 LGUs. While all 49 LGUs have Disaster Risk Reduction and Management (DRRM) Plan and Climate Change Adaptation (CCA) Plan. The need for monitoring and evaluation is indispensable. Thus, the conduct of the Post Evaluation of Recent Calamities with DILG Bohol as one of the participants since it was hit by the 7.2 magnitude earthquake. Yolanda affected LGUs also participated in the said activity on February 17, 2014 in Cebu City with Undersecretary for Local Government Austere Panadero. Other monitoring and evaluation program of DILG which formed part of its Performance Oversight and Awards and Incentives framework are the Seal of Disaster Preparedness (SDP), the Disaster Preparedness Audit and the Environmental Compliance Audit which assess LGU’s institutionalization of disaster preparedness as well its compliance to environmental laws. For 2014, these assessments were incorporated in the Seal of Good Local Governance. Meanwhile, the DILG actively participated in the provincial government-initiated Assessment on Ecological Solid Waste Management implementation in the 48 LGUs of Bohol. Highlighting 2014’s programs under the outcome, Environment Protective, Climate Change Adaptive and Disaster Resilient LGUs is the “Bohol Earthquake Assistance” (BEA) Bohol’s Building Back Better. The program which has a P2.389 Billion allocation, intends to rehabilitate, repair and reconstruct government buildings and infrastructure destructed during the 7.2 magnitude earthquake. With 1,065 BEA sub-projects in the 44 city and municipalities including the provincial government, DILG hired engineers, financial analysts and administrative assistants. A Provincial Project and Management Team (PPMT) was also constituted to ensure the smooth implementation and monitoring of BEA subprojects. This is composed of the Provincial Government of Bohol, DILG and DPWH. Different capability-building activities were conducted for LGU officials, functionaries and especially to DILG Bohol field personnel who play a significant role in the BEA implementation. For the maintenance of a normal peace and order condition in 2014, all the Peace and Order Councils (POCs) from the provinces down to the barangays are functional. Functionality of POCs could be attributed to the efforts of DILG and its assistance in all POC undertakings especially in the POPSP formulation. Prior to POPSP Formulation of the PPOC, Assessment of the Provincial Peace Situationer was conducted on February 4-5, 2014 to identify issues and necessary interventions. Another institutional structure which was constituted and functional is the Management Coordinating Committee (MCC) from the province down to the municipal level. The provincial, municipal and city MCC members had its Sportsfest which highlighted the month-long observance of Crime Prevention Week. To ensure child protection, all the 48 Local Councils for the Protection of Children (LCPCs) were organized and functional. Aside from the technical assistance for LCPCs, DILG monitors the status of LGU compliance to Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act of 2006 (RA 9344) specifically provisions on the 1% IRA Allocation for LCPC, appointment of Licensed LSWDO, and establishment of Youth Homes. For the promotion of Persons with Disabilities (PWD)-responsive LGUs, DILG advocated the compliance


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 |    |  BOHOL PROVINCE BOHOL PROVINCE 4 of the LGUs with the Magna Carta for Disabled Persons. In 2014, LGUs have established Persons with Disability Affairs Office and designated corresponding officers. To localize the Magna Carta of Women, DILG advocated and provided technical assistance for the compliance of DILG, DBM, NEDA and PCW Joint Circular 2013-01. Thus all the 49 LGUs have constituted their GAD Focal Point System (GFPS, formulated their GAD Plan and Budget (GPB) & GAD Accomplishment Report (AR), and established their GAD Database. 34 have enacted GAD Code. The same is true to the barangays except for the enactment of GAD Codes. The constituted and functional Local Committees on Anti Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children (LCAT-VAWC) from the province down to the municipal level, is one of the ways in addressing concerns of trafficking and VAWC. Technical assistance and capability building activities were conducted by DILG in partnership with the humanitarian groups and CSOs. Meanwhile at the barangay level, all VAWC desk officers were organized and functional. To assist LGUs in the provision of basic need on water to their constituents, DILG implemented the SaLiNTubig Program. For 2014, three LGUs are still implementing their 2012 SaLinTubig regular project costing P2M each under the waterless barangays. In the 2013 SaLinTubig regular program, Batuan, Bohol was listed as recipient but it is still to receive its funding allocation. Bilar was also listed as recipient in the 2014 regular SalinTubig program and it is still to receive its allocation. However, these two municipalities already attended capability building activities. While, under the Grassroots Participatory Process (GPP) in 2014, Bohol Province has a total of 30 LGUs with approved Waterworks Projects. It all amounted to Php 185,074,461.00. With the guidance of DILG, the province of Bohol in 2014 started the implementation of the Comprehensive Local Integration Program (CLIP) with the organization of the CLIP Committee on January 15, 2014. An Orientation was also conducted during the PPOC Meeting on September 23, 2014. Other noteworthy undertakings for the maintenance of a stable peace and order condition with DILG’s active involvement were the observance of the Crime Prevention Week in September, the Seminar for LCEs, Chiefs of Police and PLEB members on October 7, 2014, the Provincial Day of Peace and the Launching of Non-Killing Boholano Society on February 11, 2014, the Launching of “Barkada Kontra Droga” on September 30, 2014 with the Covenant-signing on the War Against Illegal Drugs and the Criminal Investigation and Prosecution Seminar for Police Investigators and Prosecutors of Bohol held last April 10; 24; 28, 2014. On the otherhand, DILG Bohol actively involved in the HEAT IT Caravan, a flagship program of the Provincial Government which brings services closer to the people, DILG’s participation was on the provision of free legal opinions relating to governance and the provision of inputs on the participation of CSOs in governance. LGUs which are promoting and practicing good governance are accountable, transparent, participative effective and responsive. These are gauged in the DILG’s flagship program, the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG), which scaled up the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH) into the SGLG. The SGLG looked into the three core and three essential areas. To be conferred with the SGLG, LGUs need to pass the three core areas and one essential area. The provincial, city, and municipal governments were assessed by the Regional Assessment Teams (RATs) from May to June, 2014. To date, DILG Central Office has not yet released the result of the assessment.


EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 |    |  BOHOL PROVINCE BOHOL PROVINCE 5 In 2014, the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS), a self-assessment and webbased management system is still implemented but it is made as an operational platform for the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG). 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. While, the LGU Scorecard on Health which is a subsystem of the LGPMs was implemented in the months of February and March, 2013 with DILG, Department of Health (DOH) and the Provincial Health Office (PHO). In line with the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP) program of the DILG, Bohol Field Officers continuously provided technical assistance to facilitate LGUs’ posting of financial and bidding documents in conspicuous places and in the FDP portal. Based on the monitoring conducted 100% of LGUs fully complied with the posting in conspicuous places however, turn-out of posting at the FDP portal revealed that most LGUs are highly compliant. The Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) which is an incentive for LGUs which passed the SGH to finance priority local development projects, was granted to 26 municipalities which were SGH 2013 silver recipients-with P1M each. As of this writing, only the municipalities of Alburquerque, Antequera, Balilihan, Clarin, Maribojoc and Sagbayan completed their PCF funded projects. Under the Volunteer and Citizenship Program of the DILG, all LGUs have established their Volunteer and Citizenship Desk (VCD) and designated a Volunteer and Citizenship Desk Officer (VCDO) through an Executive Order. Serving as the designated VCDO’s major coordination activity was the Bayani Challenge 2014, wherein LGUs have volunteerism activities in five days that mobilized local volunteers. DILG Bohol extended technical assistance for the Bayani Challenge and even conducted its own activities - Mangrove Planting in Dauis, Bohol with 1,000 propagules planted and the Brigada Eskwela Help-a-School program at Cortes Central Elementary School. Under the program Ugnayan ng Barangay at Simbahan (UBAS) DILG-Bohol urged the public, through the Synchronized Barangay Assembly, to check on the projects and services of the city and municipalities, and also, to monitor compliance with anti-corruption measures in the implementation of projects and delivery of basic services. In line with the Grassroots Participatory Planning, DILG Bohol conducted a consultative forum with partner CSOs and other stakeholders on February 13, 2014 for the presentation and feedbacking of its priority Programs, Projects and Activities for FY 2015. The activity is geared towards coming up with a more realistic and needsbased Poverty Reduction Action Plan.

In 2014, a total of 310 demand-driven trainings were conduct¬ed by all the LGUs of Bohol. These demand driven activities were responded by DILG Bohol field and office personnel. Requests for Lakbay-Aral were also being responded to. While, the Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) was finally implemented in Tagbilaran City and the 47 municipalities of Bohol in 2014 due to the partnership of the DILG, League of Local Planning and Development Coordinators of the Philippines, Inc. (LLPDCI-Bohol Chapter) and the Provincial Government. Training of Trainers for Module 1 was already conducted and currently 39 LGUs are on the data-gathering stage. Meanwhile, DILG-Bohol assisted a total of 42 families for the availment of death benefits. And as of this writing, plans are underway for the holding of WEmboree, a disaster resilience youth camp which will be piloted by Local Government Academy (LGA) in Bohol. A strengthened internal governance is necessary for DILG to carry out its role and mandates. Thus, bi-monthly field officers conferences are done every 15th and 25th of the month for the giving of updates and firsthand mandates from the regional and central office as well as the conveying of issues and concerns from the ground. Issues raised by field officers were provided with solutions and advice from the Provincial Management. Meetings were also regularly conducted in the M & M and D’One clusters to facilitate compliance of reports and other administrative requirements as well as the sharing of strategies employed by field officers in the implementation of PPAs. An out of the province Integrity Circle was held on April 10-11, 2014 at the Crown Regency Hotel, Cebu City to foster camaraderie and strong relationship among DILG personnel. To promote efficient and effective operation, incoming and outgoing communications of the office are recorded and filed by the administrative services section of the office. DILG Bohol also fostered interagency coordination to improve the effectiveness of coordination and partnership between and among National Government Agencies and Local Government Units. For LGU strengthening, DILG Bohol provided assistance to the different leagues in their capability building activities.

It has since been an advocacy of government and industry to institute reforms in education and training to ensure that local workforce competencies will be responsive to the needs of present and future enterprises. To date, the DILG is developing a workforce development in LGSP-LED areas, specifically in enabling LGUs plan and implement support on manpower needs of local sectors. Hence, the PaDaYon Tourism Workforce Development Project completed 12 skills trainings and enhancement activities implemented through the BAHRR as agreed with LGSP-LED and DILG through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). Upon the completion of the last training program in March 2014, BAHRR had trained a total of 479 workers and small business owners on a range of tourism and hospitality skill areas. These included 176 unemployed residents endorsed by the Public Employment Service Offices (PESO) of the three LGUs. With each completed training activity, BAHRR submitted the profiles of graduates, i.e., skilled workers, to the PESO coordinators of PaDaYon LGUs, to its member establishments, other employment agencies such as AR Skills, Inc., and DTI-Bohol who likewise facilitate the sharing of information with new hotels coming online. The Skills Training for Accelerated Growth in Local Governments (STAG-LG) is a key component of the Business Friendly and Competitive LGUs (BFCL) Outcome Area of DILG, in collaboration with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). It aims to help LGUs prepare their communities by providing the necessary intervention in workforce development to meet the demands of investments in local tourism and agribusiness industries. The implementation of the STAG-LG in the Province of Bohol commenced with the administration of the STAG-LG Workforce Inventory Form through the MLGOOs of the 11 LGSP-LED projects sites in order to identify the skills need requirements of the target LGUs. Moreover, the Provincial LED Focal, LGOO V Mary Ann L. Aparece-Verga efficiently acted the request for inventory of designated LEIPO within the target areas of AIM-BIZ for the BLGD to update their database for possible capacity building. OUTCOME I.

The province of Bohol that is relying generally to it, suffered a monthlong province-wide power outage that greatly affected not just its masses but as well as the business sectors. Bohol has thought of coming up with a Power Development Plan that will clearly spell-out the phases of energy development (restorative, medium-term and long-term) in normal and emergency situations, and ensure a continuous, adequate and reliably disaster-resilient supply of environment-friendly energy at affordable prices to all consumers of the province, to avoid repeating that bitter experience. In collaboration with the USAID-COMPETE Project, Gov. Edgar M. Chatto issued E.O. No. 1 series of 2014 creating the Bohol Island Power Development Plan Technical Working Group (BIPDP-TWG), where DILG sit as one of its member agencies. Following the issuance of the said E.O., series of seminars/workshops were conducted and actively participated by LGOO V Mylove W. Cardinoza representing PD Loisella E. Lucino. On October 10, 2014, during the PDC-Execom Meeting, the Bohol Island Power Supply Plan draft was presented. Working out with the comments, the TWG is continuously meeting up for the finalization of the plan. Final output shall be one of the bases for redrafting/revising the Philippine Energy Plan (PEP).
