SOCIALLY PROTECTIVE AND SAFE LGUs Annual Report 2014 Annual Report 2014 | | BOHOL PROVINCE BOHOL PROVINCE 50 Aside from regular monitoring, technical assistance and knowledge sharing were also extended by DILG through workshop facilitation and speaking engagements. The DILG plays a major role in the country’s efforts for Gender and Development (GAD). Specifically, the DILG is tasked to build up the capacities of LGUs and to monitor the LGUs’ programs, projects and activities for gender equality and women empowerment. With the enactment of Republic Act 9710, otherwise known as the Magna Carta of Women and the issuance of DILG, DBM, NEDA & PCW Joint Memorandum Circular 2013-01, the DILG’s tasks are enhanced. Aside from capacitating LGUs for GAD, the Department is now tasked to review GAD Plans and Budget, among others. Since JMC 2013-01 was released only this year, the DILG provided technical assistance and capability building activities for the LGUs’ implementation and localization of the Magna Carta of Women. However prior to the conduct of training and seminar-workshops to the LGUs, field officers were first capacitated during the Roll Out conducted on May 23, 2014. Among the institutional mechanisms and other mandates on GAD, it was the provision of technical assistance for the formulation of GAD Plan and Budget (GPB) for cities, municipalities and barangays, including the GPB review, which took much time. DILG Provincial Office reviewed the GPB of Tagbilaran City and the 47 municipalities while the field officers reviewed the GPBs of the 1,109 barangays. However, prior to the review, LGUs were provided with orientation-workshops for the GPB formulation and were given inputs on the parameters of the DILG review. Figure 3 shows the status of compliance of the provincial, city and 47 municipalities to the institutional mechanisms and other mandates on GAD stipulated in JMC 2013-01.

On the other hand, DILG Bohol through its GAD Focal Person responded to request for capability building on Gender and Development and Magna Carta of Women by the Mindanao State University (MSU) Administrative Staff of General Santos City on April 30, 2014. The same request by the Development Bank of the Philippines (DBP) Tagbilaran Branch on April 2, 2014 was also accommodated and granted. • PROVINCIAL/CITY/MUNICIPAL ANTI TRAFFICKING AND VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN AND THEIR CHILDREN (P/C/MCAT-VAWC) Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2010-1 of DILG, DSWD & DOJ dated October 18, 2010 mandated the Creation of Local Committees on Anti Trafficking and Violence Against Women and their Children (LCAT-VAWC) in order to establish and strengthen local structure that will collaboratively address the problem of trafficking and violence against women and children. In compliance to the said directive, the provincial, city and the 47 municipal governments organized their P/C/MCAT-VAWCs in 2010 and reconstituted it in 2013 with the change of leadership.

All the 1,109 barangays of the province of Bohol were able to establish their VAWC Desk through Executive Orders or Sangguniang Barangay Resolution. This was possible through the technical assistance of DILG. In 2014, all the 1,109 barangays of the province have functional VAWC Desks. Functionality was gauged through the setting up of the VAW Desk, appointment of VAWC Desk Officers and the services conducted to respond to VAWC cases as well as activities to prevent VAWC. On the other hand, DILG through the field officers periodically monitor cases of VAWC in the barangays.

LOCAL GOVERNANCE PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (LGPMS) The LGPMS is a web-based performance management system being developed by DILG for LGUs to identify development gaps and to guide them in determining appropriate executive and legislative actions to address such gaps. LGUs have already institutionalized the LGPMS, through the efforts of DILG Officers. In 2014, the LGPMS no longer employed Data Capture Forms (DCFs) containing indicators to gauge LGU performance. In lieu of it, are the SGLG criteria reflected in the certification page. This is due to the fact that the LGPMS is already made as an operational platform for the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).

BARANGAY NEWLY ELECTED OFFICIALS (BNEO) PROGRAM Table 26. ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE LUPONG TAGAPAMAYAPA FOR CY 2014 Barangay Newly Elected Officials (BNEO) Program tackles the whole gamut of barangay governance. The program aims to capacitate the newly-elected barangay officials to enable them to perform their mandated tasks and responsibilities and build a continuum of capacity development framework for actions anchored on the basic tenets of good governance such as transparency, accountability and integrity and participatory governance. • The BNEO Program is a term based program for Barangay Officials. The program is composed of four components that provides guidance in ensuring smooth transition, conduct of orientation course, planning, citizenship building, performance management, specialized courses, and awards and incentives. Field Officers of DILG-Bohol took turns in wearing their hats as trainer, coach, mentor and facilitator during the implementation of the BNEO Program. On Component 1, leadership turnover was facilitated by the outgoing barangay officials with the help of the concerned C/MLGOOs. This aims to facilitate a smooth transition of powers and authorities from outgoing to the incoming Barangay Officials. Transition documents were provided by the outgoing local officials to the incoming local officials. All Punong Barangays were directed to conduct an inventory of all properties, finances and documents of their barangay and to effect the smooth turn-over of the same to the incoming officials headed by the newly elected Punong Barangay. C/MLGOOs in turn monitored the turn-over through requiring the barangay to submit the inventory form. Moreover, this component also enabled the newly elected officials to understand the basics of barangay governance and administration. Barangay officials were oriented on their duties, powers and functions as mandated by law through the conduct of BNEO Seminar wherein the barangay officials looked at the state of barangay governance which served as basis in the identification and implementation of programs in the barangay leading to the development of their Barangay Agenda for Governance and Development (Barangay AGAD).
