DILG Bohol Annual Report 2022

1

ABOUT THE COVER The rising of the sun in the morning is a natural phenomenon that figures greatly across many cultures in the world. Oftentimes, sunrise is said to symbolize renewal, rebirth, new beginnings, and new opportunities. However, the mythos behind it is not entirely sanguine. Indeed, sunrise is also said to be representative of a new mystery or new challenges. The symbolism associated with sunrise perfectly encapsulates the year 2022 for DILG Bohol. A general election that produced a new set of national and local leaders, a slow and gradual process of entering an endemic state of affairs with COVID-19, and the ongoing implementation of full devolution – the year 2022 saw DILG Bohol tread carefully along these seismic challenges, fully committed to the Department’s mandate of capacitating Local Government Units towards good governance and local economic development. Hence, the concept of the rising sun perfectly fits DILG Bohol’s 2022 journey. 2

I would like to congratulate the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) on the publication of its Annual Accomplishment Report for the year 2022. Together with the entire Provincial Government of Bohol, we applaud your efforts in serving our fellow Boholanos through the provision of an efficient and effective public service towards inclusive growth and development. For the past years, DILG has been a constant partner of the Provincial Government in the implementation of programs and policies that benefit our citizens. Now that we are entering a “better normal”, our collaboration is as essential as ever in securing a safe and healthy community, where everyone is once again empowered to leave a significant imprint in shaping our post-pandemic societies. As we open a new year, I hope that our strong partnership will not only strengthen but will reach new heights. We are looking forward to a more fruitful collaboration with the DILG over our aim of a clean government for our Boholano community. Thank you very much. Abante Bohol! ERICO ARISTOTLE C. AUMENTADO Governor 12

Executive Summary DILG Bohol is true to the Department’s commitment to strengthen its internal governance capacity and nurture local government units (LGUs) to become accountable, transparent, participative, and become effective in delivering services to its constituents. Thus, DILG Bohol, with its dynamic men and women who untiringly dealt with the challenges and remained dedicated public servants in implementing the programs, projects, and activities, has attained the following outcomes: Accountable, Transparent, Participative, and Effective Local Governance. One of the department’s programs that symbolizes integrity and good performance of local governments is the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG). This year’s SGLG started with the National Orientation conducted on March 3, 4 & 7, 2022 while the SGLG Provincial Orientation was conducted on March 21, 2022, at the Panda Tea Garden Suites, Tagbilaran City. Alburquerque and Loboc were included in the list for National Validation of the 2022 Seal of Good Local Governance. After a tedious review of documentary requirements, LGU Alburquerque was endorsed and recommended as the compliant municipality and as a national passer. The DILG conferred the Seal of Good Local Governance Award to LGU Alburquerque during the 2022 SGLG National Awarding held on December 15, 2022, at The Manila Hotel. The department currently implements the Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) to help promote transparency, accountability, and participatory governance. On March 2 and 3, 2022, DILG 7 conducted a Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) Revisiting and Citizen-Driven Priority Action Plan (CPAP) Workshop in two target LGUs, Jagna, and Duero, Bohol. In line with the pursuit of forming a sustainable foundation of good governance, DILG-Bohol strengthens its partnership with Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) to empower citizens to articulate their needs as they participate in the decision-making process, program, planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation to increase the responsiveness and efficiency of local governments in delivering services. The CSO CapDev Program for the Province of Bohol was conducted on December 15, 2022, during the conduct of the CSO week of the Province of Bohol. Also, to measure the depth and strengthen participatory governance in government programs and platforms, a Participatory Governance Metrics (PGM) framework was developed under a partnership between the Department and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). A pilot deployment was conducted to test and gauge the efficacy of the PGM tool and the process of its deployment before its nationwide implementation on the six (6) LGUs in Bohol, namely: Talibon, Tagbilaran City, Balilihan, Loboc, Tubigon, and Alburquerque.

DILG BOHOL CLUSTERS For easy supervision and monitoring by the Cluster Heads and speedy coordination among the field officers, the two clusters are subdivided into five TACT (Team Approach on Coordinated Tasks) Teams led by the TACT Coordinators. D’One Cluster is composed of twenty-three towns and the City of Tagbilaran. The municipalities are Alburquerque, Antequera, Baclayon, Balilihan, Buenavista, Calape, Catigbian, Clarin, Corella, Cortes, Danao, Dauis, Getafe, Inabanga, Loon, Maribojoc, Panglao, Sagbayan, San Isidro, Sikatuna, Talibon, Trinidad, Tubigon, and Tagbilaran City. The cluster M & M, is comprised of twenty-four municipalities, namely: Alicia, Anda, Batuan, Bien Unido, Bilar, Candijay, Carmen, Dagohoy, Dimiao, Duero, Garcia Hernandez, Guindulman, Jagna, Lila, Loay, Loboc, Mabini, Pilar, Pres. CP Garcia, San Miguel, Sevilla, Sierra Bullones, Ubay, and Valencia. 25

D’ ONE Cluster D’ONE Cluster stands for Dynamic, One, Nurturing, Empowering Cluster. Dynamism is manifested in the vigor of the team to implement the programs, activities, and projects of the Department. Being One or united is shown in their chemistry. Nurturing each other’s friendship and potential is their creed. D’ONE Cluster meets twice a month either in the DILG Provincial Office, within the city or in a municipality within the Cluster. Cluster meetings are avenues where members find a different way of interacting with themselves in a more relaxed atmosphere and enhancing knowledge on the peculiarities of the Cluster municipalities while visiting the Cluster LGUs and interacting with LGU functionaries. 26

M & M Cluster Cluster M & M names their cluster with the words closely associated with the late Sec. Jesse M. Robredo, Matino & Mahusay. Choosing Matino & Mahusay (M & M) for the group simply means providing service in the department with the M & M as their guide and work norm. Further, the members also opted to define how their work norms & values could be translated into action. Cluster M & M conducts bi-monthly cluster team meetings where cluster members thresh out operational issues and concerns and discuss matters related to field and cluster operations. Cluster M&M customarily conducts one of its bi-monthly meetings in the LGU. The purpose of which is to interact with the Local Chief Executives and other Officials and Department Heads. Another is to learn from the best practices and initiatives of the LGU visited, observe and view the MLGOO’s Office and the municipality’s compliance on ARTA, Full Disclosure Policy, PACD and government programs. However, there are times wherein cluster meetings are conducted before or after the Field Personnel’s conference due to conflict of schedules of cluster members. Furthermore, these are the Innovations of M & M Cluster that paved for an effective and efficient implementation of department’s programs. 27

The Joint Cluster Meetings of D’One and M & M which started in the first quarter of 2018 is still currently practiced. Similar concerns are discussed among the members of the two clusters, and best practices of each cluster are shared for replication. On study leave On the other hand, personnel who are on study leave are the following, LGOOs Karen Ann Beniga, Rhea Joy Orioque and Drib Laurence Ingles who are reviewing for the Bar Exams.

STRATEGIC PRIORITIES SEAL OF GOOD LOCAL GOVERNANCE The Seal of Good Local Governance is a progressive performance assessment system that gives LGUs distinction for their remarkable performance across governance areas. The implementation of the SGLG is in line with the Department’s general supervision mandate over local government units. Specifically, it is part of the DILG’s performance oversight function which involves the administration of performance assessment tools, and awards and incentive initiatives for LGUs. Through the SGLG, the Department aims to recognize remarkable efforts from LGUs in pursuing the general welfare of their constituency and in enforcing existing laws within their jurisdiction. The SGLG took off from the Seal of Good Housekeeping which was implemented by the department in 2010. Its implementation started in 2015 until 2019. In 2020 & 2021, its implementation was suspended due to the global pandemic. This year the implementation resumed, and is full blown anchoring on Republic Act 11292 or the SGLG Act of 2019. National, Regional, Provincial and PCMLGU’s Orientation This year’s SGLG started with the National Orientation conducted on March 3, 4 & 7, 2022 thru virtual platform. It was participated by the Regional Directors, Asst. Regional Directors, LGMED and LGCDD chiefs, SGLG Regional and Provincial Focal Persons and alternates, DRR CCA Regional Focal Person and two CSO representatives. For the province of Bohol, LGOO VII Ma. Reina A. Quilas and LGOO V Emmylou Rama attended the activity. The Regional Orientation followed on March 18, 2022 thru virtual platform.

After the SGLG Provincial Orientation, the DILG Bohol Provincial Office conducted the SGLG Orientation for the Bohol Provincial Government on March 23, 2022 at the Governor’s Office. The activity aims to orient the officials and functionaries on the indicators and other important details for the SGLG Onsite Validation. The said activity was managed by LGOO VII Ma. Reina A. Quilas, LGOO V Emmylou Rama and LGOO II Julie Mae Nombre. On the other hand, the city of Tagbilaran and the 47 municipalities conducted their respective SGLG Orientation to orient the officials and functionaries of the indicators as well as the forms, processes, timelines and other mechanisms. This was spearheaded by the C/MLGOOs and the SGLG Focal Persons. Data Gathering, Validation and Certification The SGLG Onsite Validation commenced three weeks after the Provincial Orientation. The Provincial Assessment Team (PAT) were split into three to accommodate the forty-eight LGUs that will be visited. The three team leaders are LGOO VII Ma.

The onsite validation started on April 6, 2022 and ended on May 5, 2022. 31

The Provincial Assessment Team conducted interview, documentary review, and onsite validation and inspection to the forty-eight LGUs and the Bohol Provincial Government. Documentary reviews and interviews to local functionaries were done simultaneously to validate the correctness of the documentary requirements and certifications. Various infrastructure buildings and PWD accessibility mechanisms were checked through ocular inspections. Each LGU identified a Civil Society Organization Representative to sit as one of the members of the Provincial Assessment Team. Data Entry and Uploading Shortly after the onsite validation, the Provincial Assessment Team reviewed and finalized the SGLG forms. The data entry and uploading followed afterwards. In order to expedite the data entry and given the deadline of submission, the Provincial Assessment Team members ensued with the inputting of data from the SGLG forms onto the LGPMS Database System. The members took turns in accessing the system and were able to beat the deadline set by the Regional Office. Provincial, Regional and National Calibration The Provincial Assessment Team met for the shortlisting of potential winners. This forms part of the Provincial Calibration. DILG Bohol endorsed Alburquerque, Loboc, Talibon, and Trinidad as the shortlisted LGUs for the Regional Calibration on July 25, 2022. Provincial Focal Person LGOO V Emmylou Rama participated the Regional Calibration as the DILG-7 LGMED gathered the Provincial/HUC focal persons thru Cisco Webex. The Form 3.11 or the Summary of Initial Results which was used in processing of initial results was presented to determine the potential passers. The four potential passers will be endorsed for the National Calibration on July 28-29, 2022. The National Calibration was done virtually thru Zoom platform. During the twoday activity, the BLGS checked and interviewed LGOO V Rama who represented the four potential passers endorsed by DILG Bohol. After crucial hours validating and examining the documentary requirements and certifications, only two LGUs, 32 Alburquerque and Loboc, made it through to the National Validation.

National Validation Alburquerque and Loboc were included in the list for National Validation of the 2022 Seal of Good Local Governance. National Validator LGOO VII Kristoffer Dave R. Alvarez, Division Chief of LGCDD-Cordillera Administrative Region assessed the documentary requirements and conducted onsite inspection to validate the findings and recommendations endorsed by the Provincial Assessment Team mainly focusing on the Focus Indicators.

He interviewed one Punong Barangay to validate on the barangay evacuation process and the Local Disaster Risk and Reduction Management Officer to validate on the Evacuation Management Plan. After tedious review of documentary requirements, interviews and ocular inspections by National Validator LGOO VII Alvarez, he endorsed LGU Alburquerque and recommended the compliant municipality as a national passer.

National Awarding The DILG conferred the Seal of Good Local Governance Award to LGU Alburquerque during the 2022 SGLG National Awarding held on December 15, 2022 at The Manila Hotel. Secretary to the DILG, Atty. Benjamin Abalos Jr. spearheaded the activity. He personally handed the prestigious award to Mayor Don Ritchie Buates, Vice Mayor Dagohoy Samar, and MLGOO Josie Montes. The activity was also attended by DILG 7 Regional Director Leocadio Trovela, CESO III, Assistant Regional Director Maria Loisella Lucino, CESO IV, DILG Bohol Provincial Director Jerome Gonzales, LGMED Chief Celerino Magto Jr., and Provincial Focal Person LGOO V Emmylou Rama. Best Practices Prior to Regional Assessment, the SGLG Provincial Orientation was conducted ahead of time to give ample time for the local government units to prepare for the scheduled SGLG visit. The activity was attended by the C/MLGOOs and LGU SGLG Focal Persons. LGOO VII Ma. Reina Quilas and LGOO V Emmylou Rama prepared the List of Documentary Requirements per LGU Office to help the LGUs fast track the preparation, retrieval and submission of documents needed during onsite validation. The Conduct of Levelling Session for the Appreciation of Indicators, the Assignment of Provincial Assessment Team as Resource Persons during the SGLG Orientation, and the Formulation of Guide for RAT (Shortened from Technical Notes) equipped the PAT members to become knowledgeable and well-versed of the indicators, as well as helped them become ready in their tasks as validators. To improve LGU SGLG Indicator Compliance, the following were disseminated: Sending of Reminder on the Filling Up of all Mandatory Positions and other Key Positions in the Local Government Units; Conduct of Post Evaluation of the 2022 SGLG Implementation; Consolidation of SGLG Results per Data Capture Form for Feedbacking to Concerned LGUs/Leagues; Attendance to Meetings of Different Leagues Communicating Indicators that LGUs Failed – League of Municipalities of the Philippines (LMP) Meeting on October 21, 2022; and, Attendance to Meetings of Different Leagues Communicating Indicators that LGUs Failed – Association of Local Social Welfare and Development Officers of the Philippines (ALSWDOPI) Bohol on October 14, 2022 and Local Youth Development Officers on October 14, 2022. 34

SGLG Feedbacking during LMP Meeting SGLG Feedbacking on Social Protection with LSWDOs Leveling Sessions with Assessment Teams To prepare the members of the Provincial Assessment Teams for the SGLG onsite validation, leveling sessions were conducted at the DILG Provincial Office. During said forum, discussion of the indicator was done, for purposes of uniform interpretation. This was conducted after the SGLG Provincial Orientation wherein each PAT member discussed the indicators under the areas which they will be validating. 35

Conduct of Post Evaluation of the SGLG Implementation The Provincial Assessment Team (PAT) members convened to give their feedback on the SGLG Implementation. LGOO VII Ma. Reina Quilas facilitated the workshop where all the comments, feedbacks and insights from PAT members that were observed during the concluded onsite validation were aired out. The comments, feedback, and suggestions were gathered and consolidated. The workshop output was forwarded to BLGS so that SGLG matters will be addressed objectively. This activity aims to improve the SGLG Implementation for 2023 and the years to come. Consolidation of SGLG results per data capture form for feedbacking to concerned LGUs/ leagues Provincial Focal Person LGOO V Emmylou Rama, with the help of Provincial Office staff ADA IV Lee Joshua Kaindoy, consolidated the SGLG results per indicator per governance area through the data capture forms. While waiting for the Governance Assessment Report (GAR), the SGLG partial and unofficial results were used to give feedback to concerned leagues on how the LGUs fared during the concluded 2022 SGLG implementation. Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) Revisiting and Citizen-Driven Priority Action Plan (CPAP) Workshop On March 2 and 3, 2022, DILG 7 conducted a Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) Revisiting and Citizen-Driven Priority Action Plan (CPAP) Workshop in two target LGUs, Jagna and Duero, Bohol. Regional Focal Persons LGOO VI Kym Albrando and LGOO III Norman Contado, and Provincial Focal Person LGOO II Jed Ighot facilitated the workshop in order to formulate the CPAPs which indicate the plans, strategies, and interventions of the LGUs in addressing the gaps based on the CSIS survey results. The activity was attended by the LGU officials and functionaries, CSO representatives, and MLGOOs. The Citizen Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) is a set of tools designed to gather citizens’ feedback on the reach and quality of basic services and the citizens’ general satisfaction. 36

Participatory Governance Metrics (PGM) Tool The Participatory Governance Metrics (PGM) framework was developed under a partnership between the Department and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP)as a technical intervention to measure the depth and strengthen participatory governance in government programs and platforms. Hence, the PGM tool was developed and customized for deployment for the three of the four Local Special Bodies (LSBs) particularly the Local Development Councils (LDCs), the Local Health Boards (LHBs), and the Local School Boards (LScBs) to assess the quality or substantiveness of participation of CSOs in local governance processes. It is envisioned to be deployed regularly at a national scale, complementing or integrated with other LGU assessments being developed. A pilot deployment was conducted to test and gauge the efficacy of the PGM tool and the process of its deployment prior to its nationwide implementation on the following dates in the six (6) LGUs in Bohol: August 23, 2022 in Talibon; August 24, 2022 in Tagbilaran City; September 2, 2022 in Balilihan, September 6, 2022 in Loboc, September 9, 2022 in Tubigon and September 13, 2022 in Alburquerque.

DAGYAW Open Government Town Hall Meetings Dagyaw, derived from a Hiligaynon word which means Bayanihan, provides a platform where people from various sectors of society and the government can engage in dialogue. The main goal of the DAGYAW is to build mutual trust between the government and the people by providing an open, neutral, and protected space for dialogue on national and local issues among government and non-government stakeholders. Key to Dagyaw is the concept of co-creation: CSO partners are brought in as co-equal partners in the development, conduct and assessment of the Town Halls.
