MESSAGE OF THE PROVINCIAL DIRECTOR IMG_7844.CR2 IMG_7846.CR2 Year 2013 was indeed a challenging year for DILG Bohol. As we resolved to make advances with our previous year’s accomplishments, we were confronted with many challenges, one of which was the 7.2 magnitude earthquake. Despite what we went through, we were able to satisfactorily accomplish all the mandates of the department for 2013. And this could be attributed to all the men and women of DILG Bohol who unceasingly and untiringly work and even went the extra mile in accomplishing the department’s programs, activities and projects (PAPs). This is also due to the relentless support that the DILG Regional Management extended. And the constant support and partnership we have fostered among all stakeholders especially the provincial, city and municipal governments, the leagues and the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs). As we engage in the department’s PAPs in 2013 for Business Friendly and Competitive LGUs, Environment Protective, Climate Change Adaptive and Disaster Resilient LGUs, Socially Protective and Safe LGUs, and Transparent, Participative and Effective Local Governance, we never fail to strengthen our DILG workforce. This is because, the realization of DILG’s PAPs would not come into fruition without a strengthened internal governance. 2013 has already come to an end thus, we look forward to another year of meaningful engagement with the LGUs and our stakeholders. And as we prepare for 2014, we take stock of the possibilities that we explored, the accomplishments, the challenges and the lessons that we learned for 2013, for these would all be of help in maintaining our momentum and sustaining our gains. Mabuhay & Godspeed!
MESSAGE OF THE PROVINCIAL GOVERNOR
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Mindful that the DILG is not just output producer but a key player for the achievement of societal outcomes benefiting the citizenry, DILG Bohol vigorously & continuously implemented the department’s programs, activities and projects (PAPs) in CY 2013. Despite being besieged with the 7.2 magnitude earthquake heavily affecting many LGUs of the province, DILG Bohol still managed to carry out the department’s mandate in the last quarter of the year. Thus, all DILG PAPs were successfully implemented in 2013. The PADAYON-Bohol Marine Triangle (BMT) Alliance (LGUs Panglao, Dauis and Baclayon) which is a recipient of the Local Governance Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED) for two years now, is intensifying the implementation of workforce development program & market supply linkaging program guided by the Work Force Developmen & Market Supply Linkaging Plans. 2013’s implementation of LGSP-LED program was highlighted with the engagement of the private sector, the Bohol Association of Hotels Restaurants and Resorts (BAHRR). Partnership of BAHRR & PADAYON-BMT was inked through a Memorandum of Agreement on May 20, 2013. The Provincial Economic Transformation Team (PETT) with the Governor and the DILG Provincial Director at the helm conducted a series of meetings to support the undertaking. The PETT on Tourism was also organized and convened to extend support to this undertaking. While, Mayors and functionaries of PADAYON-BMT also attended a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) facilitated by Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) for the development of Business Plan Guidebook also for local economic development. As business-friendly and competitive LGU enabler, DILG Bohol provided support and technical assistance for the formulation/updating of plans and enactment/updating of policies. 27 LGUs have updated Comprehensive Development Plan (CDP) and 11 LGUs have updated their Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP). The rest of the LGUs have on-going updating or are yet to update their CDP & CLUP. While, 3 LGUs have updated Local Revenue Code for this year and 21 LGUs have enacted Local Investment and Incentive Code (LIIC). Still for business friendly and competitive LGUs, all LGUs are continuously provided with technical assistance and monitored on Business Permit and Licensing System (BPLS) to sustain the gains of BPLS in the streamlining of processes, as well as increase LGU income. Continuous assistance was also provided in the implementation of the Provincial Road Management Facility (PRMF), now on its 4th year of implementation. The Special Local Road Fund (SLRF) was also continuously implemented in the city of Tagbilaran. While all 48 LGUs have sustained their Local Economic Investment Promotions Officer for Local Economic Development (LED) of LGUs. All LGUs of the province have also been profiled on their Business Competitiveness. While, seven (7) LGUs who have good practices on LED attended the Coaches Training for
Replicable Good Practices on July 27-29, 2013. These LGUs were guided on how to document their good practices for possible replication of other LGUs. In relation with the DILG’s performance oversight function, all the 49 LGUs have been monitored and assessed using the Policy Audit Compliance Tracking System (PACTS). To make LGUs climate change adaptive and disaster resilient, DILG Bohol provided technical assistance to all LGUs resulting to their compliance of policies: the DRRM Act, CCA Act & the Calamity Response Protocols. Assistance was also provided in the trainings and other capability building programs of LGUs to build up their capacities on DRRM/CCA. Highlighting this year’s DRRM implementation was the conduct of the Regional DRRM Summit held at the Cebu International Convention Center, Cebu City on July 31 to August 2, 2013 participated by Mayors, DRRMO and DILG Field officers. Also highlighting the province’s DRRM implementation was the Seminar-Workshop on Barangay Disaster Risk Reduction Alarm and Communication Protocols for Punong Barangays and the Capacity Building for Barangay Tanods on DRRM conducted on January 22 and in February-March, 2013, respectively. The Seal of Disaster Preparedness (SDP), which measures the LGU’s level of disaster preparedness was administered to all the 49 LGUs in Bohol. The SDP assessment focused on flood and was administered even to non-flood prone LGUs. Results revealed that among the municipalities & the city of Tagbilaran, none passed in the SDP. Rating obtained ranged from 1.00-2.65%. While, all the 1,109 barangays were administered with the DRRM Preparedness Audit for Barangays. This resulted to the formulation and accomplishment of the LGU Disaster Profile. The LGUs’ system in responding to calamities was tested with the occurrence of the earthquake. Due to the earthquake’s magnitude, 17 LGUs were heavily affected, and slightly affecting some others. With many damaged public buildings and residential houses, affected families and continuous aftershocks, LGUs grappled with the many concerns to be attended to. With the leadership of the provincial government, various support from the national government & other LGUs within the country and even international organizations, the LGUs were able to manage the tests and difficulties brought about by the calamity. DILG Bohol also did its share of giving relief goods to affected families. More importantly, it went out of its way and played a vital role in assisting the LGUs in their efforts to respond to and recover from the calamity. For environmental protection, all LGUs with the assistance of field officers promoted the Clean Air Act through the continuing conduct of air quality information and education campaign. DILG Bohol was instrumental in the functionality of the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) since it regularly provides secretariat services in its monthly meetings. Another indication of PPOC
functionality was the HEAT IT Caravan, implemented for many years now, which is a convergence of NGAs, Private Sector, NGOs, Academe and other sectors in providing services to the target beneficiaries of host municipalities. Another vital activity conducted this year was the workshop on the formulation of the Provincial Integrated Area/Community Public Safety Plan on Feb. 26, 2013. The IA/CPSP was later presented to the business sector for their assistance in the implementation of programs of projects that would redound to peace and order. City and Municipal POCs in all the 48 LGUs of the province were also functional, manifested through the conduct of meetings, IA/CPSP planning workshops and other activities. Field officers were also instrumental in the C/MPOC functionality since they acted as head secretariat in the POCs and facilitated the workshops and other activities conducted. Barangay POCs were also assisted and monitored for its functionality. Result of the monitoring revealed the functionality of all 1,109 BPOCs of Bohol. To foster a socially protective and safe LGU through the provision of basic services, the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat Program which started in 2011 is continuously implemented in 2013. Five (5) LGUs are currently implementing the program, under the waterless municipalities. For waterless barangays, five (5) LGUs have on-going project implementation. The reduction of poverty through the funding and implementation of locally identified priority projects is seen as one of the mechanisms to foster socially protective and safe LGUs. Thus, the Bottom-Up Planning and Budgeting (BuB) program. It has 41 municipalities & the city of Tagbilaran as focus LGUs for 2014 implementation. Civil Society Organization (CSO) Assemblies, Local Poverty Reduction Action Team (LPRAT) Orientation and Local Poverty Reduction Action Plan (LPRAP) Formulation Workshops for 2014 BuB implementation were conducted in the months of January & February, 2013. Prior to its conduct, Local Chief Executives (LCEs) of Bohol were oriented on the BuB on Jan 14, 2013 while DILG Field Officers of were oriented on the BuB on Jan.25, 2013 in Iloilo City. For 2015 implementation, BuB is renamed to Grassroots Participatory Budgeting or Grassroots Budgeting (GB) for brevity. It will already cover all LGUs of Bohol. Preparatory activities for 2015 GB implementation such as CSO Assemblies, LPRAP workshops were conducted in the months of October-December, 2013. Prior to its conduct, LCEs, C/MPDCs and C/MLGOOs were oriented on the GB on October 11, 2013. Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) and GAD Focal Points were also continuously provided technical assistance in 2013. This is done to make them effective in doing their mandated functions. Municipal Management Coordinating Councils (MMCCs) were also made functional through the conduct of meetings. DILG Bohol also sustained the functionality of Local AIDS Councils. While, activities were also conducted in observance of the Crime Prevention Week. This is to promote the consciousness of the public and deter commission of crimes. While, the city of Tagbilaran is continuously implementing the MDG - Family-Based Actions for Children and their Environs in the Slums (MDG-FACES) program of the DILG. For performance assessment and management, the Local Governance Performance Management System (LGPMS) was continuously implemented in all the 49 LGUs. DILG Bohol extended technical assistance in the LGPMS implementation including the formulation of the State of Local Governance
Report (SLGR) in all the 49 LGUs. Technical assistance was also provided for the LGPMS’ communication to the LGU functionaries & officials and to the public. Mechanisms were also set in place to ensure LGPMS result utilization, to include among others, the presentation of LGU strengths & weaknesses generated from the LGPMS in the Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA)/Capacity Development (CapDev) Agenda Formulation Workshops. On the other hand, the LGU Scorecard on Health which is a subsystem of the LGPMS was also successfully implemented in 2013. The same is true with the Barangay Governance Performance Management System (BGPMS) and the State of Barangay Governance Report (SBGR) undertaken in all the 1,109 barangays. Meanwhile, the LGUs continue their efforts to obtain the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH). This includes the compliance to the Full Disclosure Policy (FDP) which involves the posting of financial documents in conspicuous places, in the FDP Portal and in LGU websites. LGUs also strive to sustain and achieve the ARTA requirements, especially with the presentation of the 2012 ARTA RCS Results. As to Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) implementation, only the provincial government of Bohol and the municipality of Jagna are implementing projects funded by the PCF in 2013. It may be recalled that in 2012, these LGUs are the Gawad Pamana ng Lahi (GPL) regional winners, making them eligible to the PCF. With the assumption of the newly elected provincial, city and municipal officials, the Newly Elected Officials (NEO) Program was once again implemented. All newly minted Mayors attended the NEO Webinar Orientation held in Cebu City. Being part of the deliverables in the NEO Program, all 49 LGUs crafted their Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA) in the months of July-September, 2013. In support of the “Vigilance to Volunteerism: Program Intensifying People’s Engagement in Local Governance” (V2V PIPELOG), Local Special Bodies were reorganized and strengthened. But prior to LSB reorganization and strengthening, DILG provided technical assistance and facilitated the inventory and accreditation of CSOs with the local Sanggunian. The C/MLGOOs and the Provincial Director also convened the accredited CSOs in the province, city and municipalities to select CSO representatives to the local special bodies. DILG Bohol also convened selected CSO representatives for the presentation of the different DILG PAPs. These CSOs were also consulted on the improvement of the DILG PAPs. Another significant activity with the CSO was the observance of the CSO Week from Sept 23-27, 2013. The DILG encourages barangays to forge partnership with interfaith organizations. All barangays were able to forge partnership with interfaith organizations considering the latter’s membership in barangay-based institutions. A good number of LGU demand-driven trainings have been assisted by the DILG. These trainings include among others the ELA/CapDEv Formulation Workshops as well as the benchmarking activities conducted by some LGUs. For an effective local governance, DILG Bohol continued disseminating the Directives from the Central Office to the LGUs. Dissemination of Scholarship program for LGUs was also conducted. Administrative Guidance through the Provision of Legal Opinions, Fact-Finding Investigations and
Administrative Assistance to LGUs/LG Officials was continuously extended. Field officers also assisted the Processing of Death Benefit Claims of Barangay Officials. Database was also maintained for the Barangay Profiling System. While, the Lupong Tagapamayapa of Gotozon, Loboc was adjudged as Regional winner of the Lupong Tagapamayapa Incentives Award (LTIA), for 4th-6th class municipality category. Poblacion Talibon’s Lupon, was also a nominee to the LTIA for 1st-3rd class municipality category. On the other hand, Barangay Secretary Felga Priete emerged as the regional winner of the Ten Outstanding Barangay Officials of the Year (TOBOY). Awarding was made on October 10, 2013. Bohol had a nominee for each of the barangay position. Knowing that DILG PAPs could not be achieved without a strengthened internal governance, DILG Bohol intensified its activities to strengthen its workforce. This includes the conduct of bi-monthly conferences, monthly cluster meetings of D’One and M & M clusters, and LGU supervisory visits. Other activities conducted are the Integrity Circle on June 13-14, 2013, Recollection on March 26, 2013 and the PMCC Sports Fests and Family Day on September 19, 2013.All DILG Bohol personnel also underwent medical check-up. With the support provided by the Regional, Provincial managements and their diligence, Field Officers as well as Fiscal Personnel were able to submit administrative requirements and fina

OUTCOME 1. BUSINESS FRIENDLY AND COMPETITIVE LGUs Enhancing Economic Growth and Competitiveness of Local Governments Technical Assistance on Local Revenue Early this year, DILG-Bohol codification team rendered technical assistance to LGU Lila in the updating of its Local Revenue Code (LRC). The assistance include facilitating and guiding the local functionaries and officials on the steps and fundamentals of the updating process. As to date, LGU Lila is consolidating outputs from its re-examination of existing tax ordinances and identification of which among these need to be improved. On the other hand, out of 21 LGUs that have updated LRC, 3 LGUs namely Alburquerque, Danao and Pres. Carlos P. Garcia have successfully adopted its updated LRC this year particularly on June 27, 2013, April 12, 2013 and May 2, 2013, respectively. Technical Assistance on Local Investments and Incentives Code (LIIC) The Local Investments and Incentives Code (LIIC) is a document that articulates the local government investment policies and programs, Investments Priority Areas, local incentives available to domestic and foreign investors and the mechanics for availing them. This is an essential document for economic development of the local government units which is a priority program of the department. Presently, twenty-one (21) LGUs in Bohol have LIICs. Technical Assistance on Comprehensive Development Fund and Comprehensive Land Use Plan Development Formulation Based on the Local Government Code, Local Government Units (LGUs) are mandated to come up with two major plans, the Comprehensive Land Use Plan (CLUP) and the Comprehensive development Plan (CDP). Field Officers lobbied for the updating of the expired Plans and assisted in the formulation and updating of the said plans. All the LGUs of the province were able to submit the report entitled Inventory of Plans, which reflected the status of the LGUs’ two major plans. Status of plans is reflected in Table 1. Table 1: CDP & CLUP STATUS STATUS OF CDP STATUS OF CLUP UPDATED ON-GOING UPDATING FOR UPDATING UPDATED ON-GOING UPDATING FOR UPDATING 27 12 9 11 18 21
Technical Assistance in Business Plan Development through training, benchmarking of good practices & business expert engagement In line with LED initiative to establish PaDaYon workforce development program, DILG-Bohol Focal Person together with the Local Chief Executives of the PaDayon area and partners from National and Provincial Government Agencies and representatives from private sectors went for a Benchmarking Mission in selected establishments of Metro Manila and in the LGU of Carmona, Cavite on September 11-13, 2013. The 3-day activity was aimed at providing the participants of learning experiences on programs, services and systems of both private sectors and local government units on matching human resource supply to industry requirements. Thus, it has resulted to the development of a concept paper on Online JobSkills Matching Systems. LGU Alliance Building for Local Economic Development The Bureau of Local Government Development (BLGD) with the Local Governance Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED) is undertaking the development of a Business Plan Guide for LGUs. Although initial steps were already done, further enrichment of the guide is still needed. Hence, the Local Investment Promotions Officers (LEIPOs), Municipal Planning and Development Coordinators (MPDCs) and Municipal Local Government Operations Officers (MLGOOs) of the PaDaYon LGUs and Tagbilaran City, representatives from private sectors, academe and DILG-Bohol Alternate Focal Person were invited on September 26, 2013 for a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with Canadian Consultant, Mr. Patrick Marshall to gather direct inputs. Feedbacks from the participants were vital in refining the tools for LGU Business Planning.
LGUs with LED Innovations In support to the institutionalization of sharing and replication of good practices, the Bureau of Local Government Development in coordination with DILG Regional Office and DILG-Province of Bohol conducted a Coaches Training for Replicable Good Practices last August 27-29, 2013 at Reynas Garden Haven, Tagbilaran City. The activity aims to embarks on establishing LGU alliance that will showcase good practices on Local Economic Development activities bringing a remarkable contribution to the local economic growth of the local community. The training was participated by the local functionaries of the eight LED LGUs which are members of the PADAYON Alliance and BIAD V Alliance. Below are the municipalities with their best practices.

LGU Alliance Building for Local Economic Development Bohol is renowned as a prime tourist destination with a special brand of tourism which melds culture, to include its people, environment and agriculture. But somehow, much of the province’s areas have yet to directly benefit or even enjoy from the blessings that tourism has endowed to a few municipalities. The Local Regional Economic Development (LRED) purposely intends to build up economic capacity of a local/regional area to improve its economic and the quality of life for all. LGSP-LED and DILG-Bohol in partnership with DTI and the Bohol Association of Hotels, Restaurants and Resorts (BAHRR) work collectively to create better conditions for economic growth and generation of employment through several skills and enhancement trainings. BAHRR underwent a Workforce Development Planning Workshop last May 10, 2013, to prioritize training requirements of its member establishments in Bohol. The workshop was supported by the PADAYON Bohol Marine Triangle Management Council and LGSP-LED in partnership with the Provincial Economic Transformation Team (PETT), where DILG sits as member. The objective of the workshop was to improve local human resource knowledge, skills and increase awareness on job placement and self-employment. It also aimed to develop and implement pilot programs for matching the immediate skills requirements of tourism establishments in the PADAYON cluster (Panglao, Dauis, Baclayon) and in other neighboring tourism areas in Bohol. The partnership between LGSP and BAHRR was developed with the assistance of DILG-Bohol and DTI to put together the various upgrading strategies in the different functions across the Tourism Value Chain. Under this Workforce Development Program, BAHRR will be LGSP-LEDs lead institutional partner who will implement the training component with support from DTI, DILG and other PETT member agencies. In attendance during the workshop were BAHRR member establishments and representatives from the Bohol Employment Placement Office (BEPO), Bohol Investment Promotions Center (BIPC), Bohol Tourism Office (BTO), Baclayon Environmental Association (BEA), the Provincial Tourism Council, DOLE, DOT, DILG and DTI. Basic Capacity Development Program on LED Local Governance Support Program for Local Economic Development (LGSP-LED)forged partnership with the Bohol Association of Hotels, Resorts and Restaurants (BAHRR) to conduct trainings on tourism/hospitality-related courses/hard trades for skills enhancement and employment in Bohol Tourism establishments particularly in PaDaYon. As of September 2013, out of 249 graduates from 9 training programs conducted, 143 were already employed. For market-supply linkages, the
Baclayon Entrepreneur Association (BEA) members participated in the Sandugo Regional Trade Fair and Speedmatching Event in July 2013 to have an opportunity for market-linkage expansion. Thus, the activities extended the product distribution of BEA by supplying welcome package to Bellevue Hotel events. On November 26, 2013, DILG-Bohol’s Provincial Director and Alternate Focal Person participated in the Economic Transformation Team Knowledge Sharing Workshop in Ortigas Center, Pasig City. In the Knowledge Fair Session, PD Loisella Lucino showcased in a 10-minute pitch the Bohol’s Provincial ETT experiences vis-à-vis accomplishments, results, innovations and challenges emerging from its projects and initiatives. On the other hand, the 7.2 magnitude Earthquake followed by an inadequate supply of power and water due to Super Typhoon Yolanda has adversely affected the tourism industry of the province. Decreased tourist arrivals and cancellation of bookings are just few of its effect. Thus, PETT Members (DILG, DTI and BTO) collaborated with development organizations in conducting a Tourism Stakeholders Consultation Meeting on November 19, 2013 to discuss issues, ways of coping and recommendations on Bohol’s crises. Consequently, actions steps were firmed up such as: (1) promotional campaign to bring back tourists; (2) facilitate dialogue with banks and other financial institution to provide loans to purchase gensets and other needs of businesses affected; and (3) facilitate dialogue with LGUs re tax recommendations.

Business Permit and Licensing System It can be remembered that the streamlining of Business Permit and Licensing System (BPLS) is a priority project of DTI, GIZ-SMEDSEP and DILG which started in 2010 and is now in monitoring phase and institutionalization of LGU reforms. Based on the quarterly submission of LGU Baseline Data Capture Form, all the 47 municipalities and one city have complied the BPLS standards gauged through the reduction of steps, processing time and signatories. Following the BPLS Assessment conducted in 2012 to remaining 21 municipalities, the Department of Trade and Industry- Center for Industrial Competitiveness partnered with DILGBohol and Bohol Investment Promotion (BIPC) in conducting a BPLS Training, which is a component of the BPLS Project undertaken by the National Competitiveness Council (NCC) to improve efficiency in the delivery of LGUs’ services to the public, particularly the business permitting system. Attended by the employees of Business Permit Licensing Office of the 47 LGUs, the activity was composed of lectures on values and service excellence, structures, learning exercises and selfassessment activities. Enhanced Tax Revenue Assessment and Collection System (eTRACS) The Bohol Information and Communications Technology Unit (BICTU) launched the Enhanced Tax Revenue Assessment and Collection System (eTRACS) in 35 municipalities that started in 2010 and hoped to be completed in 2013 if not for the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that hit the province. eTRACS is an automated system geared towards the efficient collection of real property tax resulting in better LGU revenues which in turn facilitates better service delivery. Realizing its potential for revenue generation and the positive outcome it brings to communities, Gov. Edgar M. Chatto has declared his intent to eventually be able to implement eTRACS throughout the province. Year of Implementation LGUs Launched with eTRACS 2010 1. Balilihan 2. Dimiao 3. Loon 4. Talibon 5.

Bayanihan at work: Purok Power Movement The much talked about Countryside Development Program: Purok Power Movement is a multi-agency, multisectoral program aimed at empowering communities so that local armed groups can no longer threaten the stability of their state. It is a comprehensive approach to service delivery that brings development initiatives at the purok level. The Purok Power Movement is truly a bayanihan work in local government that allows the participation of stakeholder coming from the different sectors of society. Said participatory concept has invited DILG-Bohol to sit as member of the Prosperity Team Monitoring and Evaluation in hope of bringing more meaning and success to the program that would be fully appreciated by the Boholano people. DILG Bohol actively participated the activities of the Country Side Development Program - Purok Power Movement (CDP - PPM) spearheaded by the Provincial Government on August 8, 2013 at Casa Rey Francis, Tagbilaran City and on March 11, 2013 at Camp Raja Sikatuna, Katipunan, Carmen, Bohol. CDP-
PPM is one of the partnerships of the provincial government with the Philippine Army to win a paradigm shift with a transformation and governance program, capitalizing on non-combat operations in order to win the peace, and further allowing the participation of stakeholders in the society. It recognizes peace and security efforts that are shared by all. Bohol Reintegration Program on Former Rebels The Provincial Government of Bohol through the Committee on the Integration of Former Rebel (CRFR) has strengthened its effort on the Bohol Social Reintegration Program for Former Rebels. This program is designed to assist those rebel returnees in legal means. This program has four phases which include PreSurrender, Actual Surrender, Post Surrender and Disengagement Phase. Empowering LGUs in the Delivery of Social Service Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat The Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat Program is designed to provide water supply systems for the waterless municipalities, barangays, health centers, and resettlement sites. It further aims to enhance the capacity of the LGUs and water service providers in the planning, implementation, and operation of water supply facilities. The Department is tasked to capacitate the LGUs through Program Orientation, Feasibility Study Preparation, Procurement, Fund Management, Construction Supervision, Water Governance, among others. The office ensured the attendance of the focal persons to the series of trainings. Bohol Province is fortunate to have 13 of its municipalities as recipients of the grant in 2013. There are already 11 LGUs in Bohol with completed projects for waterless municipalities. At present, five (5) LGUs have ongoing implementation of the program. On the otherhand, for waterless barangays, two (2) LGUs have completed projects. While five (5) LGUs have ongoing projects.

The said training invoked the implementors to abide the principles of good governance in governing the system emphasizing on the human rights to use the water. Bottom Up Planning and Budgeting In pursuit of attaining the country’s goal of inclusive growth and poverty reduction, the Bottom Up Budgeting (BuB) is implemented. It is an approach to preparing the budget proposals of agencies, taking into consideration the development needs of cities and municipalities as identified in their respective Local poverty reduction action plans (LPRAPs) that shall be formulated with strong participation of basic sector organizations and other civil society organizations. For BuB 2014, all the 42 focus LGUs of the Province of Bohol has complied with the required processes and guidelines and on time submission of LPRAPs to the RPRAT. On the other hand, the same preparatory activities were undertaken by the 48 focus LGUs for the Grassroots Participatory Budgeting Process 2015, as presented in the table below.

Service providers can now directly interact with the households in giving assistance to the family members. To date, the city core team of MDG-FACES has identified the baseline data and targets of the children beneficiaries. It has also developed the Family Quick Action Guide and Quick Response Mechanism for household beneficiaries. Enhancing Capacities of Local Governments to address HIV/AIDS Pursuant to the Philippine AIDS Prevention and Control Act of 1998, DILG-Bohol has urged LGUs to keep their Local AIDS Council (LACs) active and functional through regular meetings, presence of plans and programs and conduct of activities on HIV and AIDS prevention and control to mitigate its negative impact in the locality. In CY 2013, all the 47 municipalities and Tagbilaran City have functional Local AIDs Councils whose programs and activities are spearheaded under the Rural Health Units of their respective LGUs. Strengthening Local Councils for the Protection of Children The Department of the Interior and Local Government and the Department of Social Welfare and Development, this province in partnership with the World Vision and other local and national line agencies have joint efforts to strengthen campaign against child labor. One of the strategies adopted by these advocates is strengthening the Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC) through organization/reorganization, orientation/reorientation,
activation/reactivation and training on capability building aimed at institutionalizing the program in the grassroots level that is in the community and in the barangay. As one of the top tourist destinations in the country, Bohol Province launched the Child Wise Tourism Programme of the Department of Tourism (DOT) on April 11-12, 2013 at Alona Kew Beach, Panglao Island, Bohol facilitated by the DOT-OTSR, ECPAT, DOT 7 and Bohol Provincial Tourism Office (BPTO) in partnership with DILG-Bohol.

Localization Project of Juvenile Justice and Welfare Act RA 9344 is the country’s first specific legal measure to promote juvenile justice and welfare, exempting youth offenders from criminal liability. It mandates the creation of a welfare council that will coordinate with various agencies and oversee its implementation. At the local level, the LCPCs serve as the primary agency to coordinate with and assist the LGU for the adoption of a comprehensive plan on delinquency prevention and to oversee its proper implementation. It also advocates the allocation of at least 1% of the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) for the implementation of programs identified by the LCPC and the designation/appointment of a licensed Social Welfare Development Officer (SWDO). The establishment of Youth Homes for Child in Conflict with the Law (CICL) is one of the requirements to be complied by LGUs. Table 12.
