The LGA unites with the nation in the annual celebration

psychosocial support intervention popularly known as
the Online Wellness Talks series which aims to ensure the
state of mental wellbeing of the Department personnel.

A total of two (2) sessions was held for the first quarter of
2021 titled, “Hope and cope: Starting strong in 2021” and
“Finding inner balance,” with Ms. Katherine Rañeses of
Coaching Happiness Philippines and Ms. Fatima Bargas of
Online Healing Community as the key resource speakers,
respectively.
Ms. Rañeses suggested to start the year right by
recognizing the importance of optimism and said,
“the change of mindset is crucial in order to develop
optimism, leading to long-term happiness.” She
encouraged everyone to build optimism by being
hopeful, putting oneself first, harnessing self-care, caring
less over uncontrollable situations, practicing conscious
communication, and having a gratitude journal.

Moreover, the harmony between work and life was
promoted by Ms. Bargas as she emphasized that balance
leads to one’s own peaceful nature. She also highlighted
the importance of acknowledging one’s own peace
as a part of harnessing one’s inner balance. “Peace is
important because it is our true nature, we aim for that
harmony because innately, we are good,” she said.

In this challenging time, the LGA, in behalf of the
Department, foresees the welfare of its personnel.
Most importantly, the LGA seeks to aid the personnel
in developing restructured mindsets toward optimal
productivity and good overall wellbeing. Indeed,
psychosocial and mental health support are of equal
importance among all aspects. As the famous phrase
goes, mental health does matter.

Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is about

– LGA Asst. Dir. Daphne Purnell


The two-day orientation on appreciative inquiry titled,
“Revitalizing Personal Efficacy through Emerging Leadership,”

DILG central and regional offices as participants.

The LGA continues to conduct sessions on AI for it is seen

SDG-FACEs:

Empowering families,
negating the effects of

COVID-19


For the LGA, the 2030 agenda for sustainable development
is put into action through Establishing Effective Family
Based Social Service Delivery: Localizing Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) through Family-based Actions
for Children and their Environs (FACEs) Project.


The SDG-FACEs project aims to enhance the capacities
of families living in poverty enabling them to articulate
survival needs, identify development issues, and set
targets- all towards the betterment of quality of life.

On March 18, 2021, an orientation for the regional teams
on the SDG-FACEs was conducted with more than 100
attendees including LGRRCs, Regional and Provincial Focal
Persons, Cluster Leaders, and Municipal Local Government
Operation Officers (MLGOOs).

The regional SDG-FACEs teams serve as managers in
implementing the project by promoting it, developing
an agreement with the target LGU, providing technical
assistance, and monitoring the progress.


The SDG-FACEs project intends to empower the families Data Resiliency for

The National Government (NG), through the Inter-Agency
Task Force for the Management of Infectious Disease
and LGUs, further maximizes the use of technology as a
part of the COVID-19 response in the country. Hence, the
creation of the National Data Resiliency for Ease of Access
and Management (DREAM) team with DILG as one of the
members.

The DREAM team aims to deploy, build capacity, and monitor
the use of Information and Communications Technology
(ICT) solutions that are part of the COVID-19 ICT systems.

With this, the LGA spearheaded the Orientation for the
DILG on DREAM and ICT on Vaccination last March 25,
2021. It was participated by the principal and alternate
DILG representatives to the Regional DREAM Team, LGRRC
managers, provincial focal persons, and program managers.

Through this activity, the DILG personnel were introduced
to their roles in the COVID-ICT harmonization efforts. In
support of this, the DILG will bridge the LGUs to the DREAM
team along with the help in vaccination-related programs.
