Data Driven Leadership: Launching of Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) Tracker The SGLG Tracker is an online monitoring tool that can be used by the LGUs to effectively track their SGLG performance through a Google Spreadsheet. It features a scoring system that gathers data from checking and data encoding of the SGLG requirements. The SGLG Tracker enumerates all the minimum requirements for each indicator in a to-do-list format which needs to be met and checked by the LGU Focal Person once completed. Each requirement that has been complied with gives the LGU a corresponding score that is the average of the total number of requirements (Figure 3). For ease of reference, the SGLG Tracker features a Dashboard that shows the scores for each indicator and component as well as the Overall SGLG Preparedness Score of the LGU which is the final average of all the checked or completed requirements. Relevant figures and data on average revenue growth, fund utilization requirements, number of meetings conducted, plans formulated, and required policies and legislations are also shown in the Dashboard (Figure 4).

Figure 4. SGLG Tracker Dashboard The DILG Camarines Norte aims to roll out the SGLG Tracker to all twelve (12) Local Government Units (12) in the province as well as to the Provincial Government during the last quarter of 2023 until the first quarter of 2024. To guarantee the success of the roll-out, certain policies are also needed to be issued by the Local Chief Executives (LCEs) to designate their respective SGLG Focal Persons who will manage the Tracker and ensure that the requirements already checked have their corresponding Means of Verification (MOV). Likewise, PD Melody Relucio also constituted the Provincial SGLG Team composed of LGOO LGOO VI Alfredo I. Fria, LGOO II Christian Gabalfin, and LGOO II Mark Barayoga. The SGLG Team will be coordinating with the LGUs and Focal Persons on all matters related to the SGLG. The SGLG Provincial Team, together with Cluster Operations headed by CH Jerwin A. Novio will be leading the roll-out of the SGLG Tracker. The launching of the SGLG Tracker does not only aim to assist the LGUs in monitoring their respective SGLG performances but also to advocate what PD Relucio has been implementing within our organization, a datadriven leadership.
Camarines Norte Gears Up for 2023 BSKE ...............series of activities attended by DILG ...............Camarines Norte officers and personnel, in ...............preparation for the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Election in the Province of Camarines Norte. DILG Camarines Norte Provincial Director Melody E. Relucio, CESO V, participated in the Provincial Joint Security Control Conference (PJSCC) and Provincial Command Conference held at One Platinum Hotel in Daet, Camarines Norte on August 24, 2023. The conference focused on security preparations for the upcoming Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Election (BSKE) scheduled for October 30, 2023. The event was organized by the Commission on Election (COMELEC) and involved representatives from the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Philippine Army, the Department of Education, and other stakeholders. The Philippine National Police Provincial Director PCOL Joselito Villarosa Jr. assured everyone that security preparations are being undertaken especially COMELEC checkpoints to ensure the adherence of the public to the nationwide gun ban for peaceful and orderly elections. Another significant event was the Simultaneous Unity Walk, Interfaith Prayer Rally, Peace Covenant Signing, and Candidates Forum for the 2023 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections. In support of these initiatives, DILG Provincial Director Melody E. Relucio, along with Municipal Local Government Operations Officers mmmmmmmm (MLGOOs) of Camarines Norte, participated in said activity on September 20, 2023. This event took place simultaneously across all municipalities in the province led by the Camarines Norte Police Provincial Office and the Commission on Elections, with the primary aim of promoting a Secure, Accurate, Free, and Fair Election. In a show of unity, candidates from barangays of each municipality attended the unity walk and candidates forum. A Peace Covenant signing was also sponsored by the Camarines Norte Police Provincial Office at Camp Wenceslao, Brgy Dogongan Daet Camarines Norte on September 27, 2023, attended by DILG Provincial Director PD Melody E.

..........n pursuit of empowering local ..........government units (LGUs) and ..........further strengthening their mandates in terms of good governance and digital transformation as well as providing citizens with free and equal access to information, the DILG Camarines Norte Operations Office conceptualized the Integrated Government Online Application Learning System (iGOALS). This online system is a web-based virtual library and web-based data banking system designed and developed for digital accessibility and integrates references and accomplishments of LGUs. Further, the idea of conceptualizing this system is in adherence with the Bicol Regional Development Plan (2023-2028) identified challenges namely: 1. Expand and Upgrade Infrastructure; and 2. Practice Good Governance and Improve Bureaucratic Efficiency, which can be found in Chapters 13 and 15 of BDRP respectively. One of the features of the iGOALS is the uploading of data, information, and other relevant issuances of the LGU including their accomplishments that will serve as their references in crafting their respective development plans. In addition, the online system will also serve Bantayog LGRC iGOALS serve as the linkage between the LGUs through the sharing of best practices and innovative undertakings. To strengthen the engagement of the DILG Camarines Norte Operations Office with the different stakeholders in the province and to expand the collaborative undertakings through Bantayog LGRC, the conceptualization of iGOALs was made through a joint innovative effort of LGOO V Edmund S. Bañares, the Section Chief of the LGCDS with the NEDA RO 5 represented by Engr. Rianne B. Blanza and selected students of Camarines Norte State College as part of their internship program with the DILG. LGOO V Bañares is also the designated coordinator of the Bantayog LGRC of the DILG Camarines Norte. The success of this innovation will be made possible through the cooperation of the LGUs, thus, the DILG Camarines Norte Operations Office calls on the Local Chief Executives as well as the public to participate and be part of the dry run by uploading and integrating their accomplishments and other relevant reports into this new online application system.

Project Huntaan: Consultative Meeting With Stakeholders on Women and Children Welfare “DIALOGUE IS THE GUARANTEE OF PEACE.” ...............e might have heard about this phrase ...............somewhere else during a speech in an ...............activity or over a television. We may also have our eyes scanned through this familiar phrase in an edition of an article that talks about PEACE and anything that pertains to order and safety. However, instances where we might have encountered this particular phrase, there is only one essential meaning it wants to convey to every one of us: communicating is one way of ensuring and keeping peace. In the context of Local Governance, communication is as essential as service delivery of government services to ensure the general welfare of the public. To forge a stronger dialogue with the public in the Province of Camarines Norte, the Camarines Norte Police Provincial Office (CNPPO), in partnership with the Provincial Government of Camarines Norte and the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Provincial Office conducts, PROJECT HUNTAHAN: Consultative Meeting with Stakeholders on Women and Children Welfare last July 20-21, 2023. HUNTAHAN is a Filipino word which basically means ‘casual talk or conversation’. This is the main objective of the activity, which is to talk and W have a casual conversation with the concerned sector to discuss and address their pressing concerns. The said dialogue was implemented for two days with the objective of fostering dialogue, exchanging insights, and developing a comprehensive plan that addresses the root causes of violence and provides support to victims. It also aims to identify and prioritize urgent actions and interventions to safeguard the welfare of women and children. The participants of the activity include the Punong Barangays, Sangguniang Bayan Committee Chair on Women, Children and Family, and Municipal Social Welfare Development Officers of the twelve (12) municipalities of Camarines Norte. As much as the people expect transparency and accountability from the government in all its operations and transactions, participation also provides the people with a platform to voice their collective concerns to the government. This is where the dialogue is significantly necessary as one of the key elements of participation. Involvement of the key players and sectors of society in Local Governance is essential to ensuring PEACE and ORDER.
POPS Plan Enhancement: An Action to Scale Up the Performance of the PPOC ......n a continuing effort to improve the performance of ......the Provincial Peace and Order Council (PPOC) as ......well as to enrich peace and order and public safety in the province, the DILG Camarines Norte as the head secretariat of the PPOC, initiated a workshop on the enhancement of the Peace and Order and Public Safety (POPS) Plan last August 8, 2023 at the Provincial Health Office Conference Room, Daet, Camarines Norte. The move to enhance the plan was the result of clamors from the members of the council regarding the noninclusion of the relevant PPAs that will address the prevailing issues concerning the peace and order situation in the province. Further, the provincial government through its supplemental budget, has allocated funds intended for the public safety component of the plans such as rescue boats and vehicles. In addition to that, there were road and infrastructure projects that should be realigned with other PPAs to comply with the requirements of the Commission of Audit (COA). Present during the workshop were the members of the POPS Plan Technical Working Group and some regular members of the council. The enhancement process was facilitated by the DILG Camarines Norte team headed by PD Melody E. Relucio, CESO V and LGOO VI Alfredo I. Fria Jr. (POC Provincial Focal Person). Also in attendance were the personnel and staff of the Office of the Governor headed by Antonio C. Suhitado Jr., the PPOC focal person of the provincial government. All members present were advised to consider the relevance and urgency of the PPAs and those that can be implemented until December 2023 since the implementation of these PPAs is crucial in determining the performance of the PPOC specifically in assessing the physical and financial accomplishment of the funded PPAs in the POPS Plan. More so, it was noted that, as of mid of 2023, the progress of the physical and financial accomplishment of the plans is estimated at 20-30% completion rate. It was also reiterated that all proposals shall be submitted to the DILG for the initial review to ensure the inclusion of the PPAs in the POPS Plan as stipulated in Executive Order No. 2023-10 entitled “An Executive Order Amending the System in Availing of the Peace and Order Program (POP) I (POP) Funds and Submission of Accomplishment Reports of Member Agencies/Offices of the PPOC of the Province of Camarines Norte which will Fast-Track the Uploading of Reports in the Peace and Order and Public Safety Plan-Policy Compliance Monitoring System (POPS-PCMS) and On-Time Liquidation of the Funds/Assistance to the Concerned Office. For the previous years, the POC of the province was consistently recognized as a Functional POC as a result of strong collaboration with law enforcement agencies and other stakeholders. But, more than the recognition, is the impact of the implemented PPAs that significantly help suppress illegal drugs, insurgencies and other forms of crime that hinder the development of the community and the entire province as a whole.

Grow Where I Am Planted ..........ife is a remarkable journey, often leading us ..........to places and experiences we never ..........anticipated. For the past seven months, my path has been intertwined with the Municipality of Paracale, a captivating corner of the Philippines that has provided me with invaluable opportunities for personal growth, expanding my horizons, and discovering untapped potential. As the Municipal Local Government Operations Officer, I have had the privilege to witness the transformation that occurs when one decides to truly "grow where they are planted." Stepping into the role of a Municipal Local Government Operations Officer was both exhilarating and humbling. The Municipality of Paracale, with its diverse tapestry of people, places, and resources, presented an exciting yet challenging terrain for me to navigate. It was in this dynamic environment that I realized the profound truth in the adage "grow where you are planted." Like a seed taking root in fertile soil, I began to explore the depths of my potential and embrace the opportunities that surrounded me. Paracale, a third-class municipality, may not have been in the spotlight, but it held a wealth of untapped potential waiting to be discovered. Its unique blend of tradition and modernity paints a vivid picture of a community on the brink of greatness. Through interactions with the vibrant local population and exploration of the municipality's scenic landscapes, I was able to uncover the layers of opportunity that lay beneath the surface. The journey was not only about discovering Paracale's potential but also recognizing the power of collaboration. One remarkable feat that stands as a testament to this unity is the municipality's recognition as the top performer L performer of the provincial office.

Paracale, the Jewelry Box of Camarines Norte: A Supervised Field Work (SFW) Journey ..........uring the first week of our SFW, we are ..........nervous about what kind of experience we are ..........going to have and how we can accomplish our tasks and outputs. We are also wondering how receptive the local government unit (LGU) will be to our presence and how accommodating they will be on our goals and objectives. Through the three-month journey, the nervousness was replaced with love: love for the municipality and its people. Through the supervision and guidance of LGOO VI Abilay, we were able to discover the beauty and radiance of the municipality. The assistance of the LGU staffs of the DILG Paracale Government Operations Office also helped us accomplish our goals such as crafting a policy brief by having an in-depth analysis of the LGU’s operations and conducting a managing learning event (MLE) to capacitate the LGU. Aside from these tasks, we are immersed in various tasks and provided technical assistance to the LGU. Through these tasks, we were able to improve and enhance our skills as coaches, facilitators and trainers. The SFW experience molded us to be Local Governance Experts, Innovator, Network Builder and Knowledge Manager (LINK). D
The mentorship of LGOO VI Milrose E. Abilay helped us discover our strengths and weaknesses and how we can further improve and adopt them in our role as LGOOs. The journey helped me realize that the municipality of Paracale as a Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) passer and as a top performer of the provincial office in the Local Legislative Awards (LLA) is an achievement that cannot be accomplished through individual efforts alone; instead, it is a testament to the collective dedication, collaboration, relentless work ethic, and sound leadership from the DILG Paracale and the LGU Paracale. Our journey at the Paracale might have ended, but the bonds and learnings will always remain. Our steadfast love for our duty and country has flourished through this experience. Thank you for this holistic growth and transformation that extends beyond the cognitive domains, instead reaching the affective and psychomotor domains. I will always remember this part of my life, its lessons, its memories and the aesthetic scenery of the Paracale. Indeed, it is a town of gold, not only on its resources but also on the hearts of its people. The experience on this journey is also alleviated through the support of the DILG Provincial Office of Camarines Norte under the leadership of Provincial Director Melody E. Relucio, CESO V. Because of the help of these individuals, the SFW journey has been a transformative journey. We discovered the crucial role of DILG officers as “jacks of all trades” through the conversations and stories we gathered from the different MLGOOs of the province. I came to the reflect on how brilliant the minds of the C/MLGOOs could be and how they were able to fulfill their roles by wearing various hats to proficiently assist the LGUs in reaching excellence. This made me wonder if there are still lots of things I need to learn and develop to reach their caliber of wisdom. But I am always up to the challenge because being an LGOO is my way of life. The journey also helped me recognize the power of collaboration and teamwork. How a MLGOO needs to collaborate with different department heads and personnel of the LGU in the accomplishment of the reports and programs. We adapted this as well in our team, which we call ourselves the “Paracale Boys” composed of LGOO II Jaymel, Harvey and me. We were able to accomplish the remarkable tasks for our threemonth journey through our teamwork. It stands as a testament on how unity and friendship can conquer overwhelming odds and challenges that come our way.
Sports Development Program for Youth at LGU San Vicente ..........hrough the LGU's sports development program, ..........the municipality of San Vicente, Camarines ..........Norte invited PBA Legends and Basketball Stars to conduct a Basketball Clinic for children and teenagers from all over Camarines Norte on August 15, 2023. The PBA legends who visited LGU-San Vicente were Alvin Patrimonio, Marlou Aquino, Paul Alvarez, Jerry Cordiñera, Willie Miller, Cyruz Baguio, Leo Najorda & Jerome Ejercito. The sports program, according to LGU officials, is an avenue to preserve the morality of the youth through discipline and physical sports activity. It aims to divert the youth's involvement in delinquent endeavors such as vices, immoral deeds, gang activities, gambling, and illegal drugs. During the sports clinic, the PBA Legends did not only teach skills development and sportsmanship; they also emphasized the importance of selfdiscipline and gave pointers on self-respect and self-preservation which are among the ingredients in achieving dreams and goals in life. The event was participated by 200 youth basketball enthusiasts and was conducted for free through the efforts of LGU San Vicente, NGA's and other sponsors. EVENTS MLGOOS IN ACTION l T

An Officer-in-Charge in the Office of the Mayor has no authority to solemnize Marriage Legal Tidbits The Local Chief Executive when travelling within the country but outside of his territorial jurisdiction for a period not exceeding three (3) consecutive days, may designate in writing the officer-in-charge-of the office of the mayor. Such authorization shall specify the powers and functions that the local official concerned shall exercise in the absence of the local chief executive officer. As opined by the Civil Service Commission in Resolution No. 0007778 dated March 24, 2000: ......"The designation of an OIC is nothing more than a temporary and convenient arrangement intended to avert paralyzation of the day-to-day operations of an of ice in the meantime that the chief or head of of ice is temporarily absent.” An OIC only exercises ministerial functions, which is limited only to the administration of an office and do not include the solemnization of marriage. Thus, a Municipal Administrator designated as the OIC of the Office of the Mayor, in the absence of the LCE for not more than 3 days, cannot validly solemnize a marriage. (DILG Legal Opinion No. 2 s. 2018 dated January 18, 2018) A person under detention cannot perform his duties and functions as Public Officer A person detained in jail cannot perform his duties and functions as a public officer while he is under detention. In the case of People of the Philippines vs Maceda et.al, the Supreme Court stated that: ......“As matter of law, when a person indicted for an of ense is arrested, he is deemed placed under the custody of the law. He is placed under the custody of law. He is placed in actual restraint of liberty in jail so that he may be bound to answer for the commission of the of ense. He must be detained in jail during the pendency of the case against him, unless he is authorized by the court to be released on bail or on recognizance. Let it be stressed that all prisoners whether under preventive detention or serving a final sentence can not practice their profession nor engage in any other business or occupation, or hold of ice, elective or appointive, while in detention. This is a necessary consequence of arrest and detention. Consequently, all the accused in Criminal Case N0 3350-3355 must be confined in the Provincial Jail of Antique.” Thus, an elected local official who is validly arrested and under detention, in the meantime, cannot perform his duties and functions as a public officer. Consequently, while the elected official is under detention, there is a temporary vacancy in his/her position. (DILG Legal Opinion No. 13 s. 2017 dated July 3, 2017 citing the case of People vs Maceda GR No 89591.)

This collaborative venture aimed to assess the impact of various projects under the FY 2021 SBDP (Support to Barangay Development Program), focusing on selected beneficiary barangays of Binawangan, Itok, San Antonio, Villa Belen, and Guisican in Capalonga and Labo, Camarines Norte. Conducted by PEO Claire Florence U. Sia of DILG Camarines Norte, together with PEOs Michael Arvin F. Guerrero and Ma. Riza Anika A. Marco of DILG Camarines Sur, the five-day impact assessment activity employed a range of methodologies, primarily conducting interviews with local residents and utilizing the DILG devised Impact Assessment Tool. The SBDP projects assessed encompassed a broad spectrum of essential infrastructure with the corresponding budget as follows: The impact assessment aimed to gain valuable insights from the beneficiaries themselves into how these projects have influenced and benefited the communities. It also paved the way to check the current status of these projects and on how they are being utilized by the local residents. From these it sought to provide recommendations for the implementing units to ensure the projects' sustainability and to maximize its benefits to the communities. The data collected will be evaluated in conjunction with assessments of SBDP projects in the various provinces within the Region. Ultimately, this comprehensive approach intends to enhance the effectiveness of future SBDP implementation.
