>> Tuesday, March 21, 2023
CLARK, Pampanga — Sen.
Francis Tolentino urged Cordillera legislators and Cordillerans to
continue lobbying with Congress for passage of an autonomy bill so the upland
region would get what it has been longing for.
The genuine aspiration of the Cordillerans for genuine autonomy is rooted on the right to self-determination of the people fueled by a long history of struggle for the recognition of their rights.
The region. Tolentino said, serves as foundation upon wherein people of Cordillera shall be empowered to pursue sustainable and inclusive growth, through the management, protection and development of their natural and human resources, and the promotion of the rights and culture of the Cordillera people.
On July 15, 1987, President Corazon Aquino issued Executive Order 220 which created the Cordillera Administrative Region as a transitory coordinating agency in preparation for autonomy.
Tolentino made this pitch as speaker of orientation conference by the Dept. of the Interior and Local Government, in collaboration with the Philippine Councilors League and Vice Mayors League of the Philippines, both Cordillera Administrative Region chapters during 3-day newly elected officials (NEO) orientation course to enable Cordillera legislators and public servants to explore strategies to make LGU services and performance better to boost living condition of their constituents.
Tolentino, one of speakers urged local legislators to continue to serve as prime leaders and exemplars of good and participatory governance.
"As prime leaders, you are the cream of the crop of public service. Be excellent leaders in discharging your responsibilities and fulfilling your mandates. Let it be a reminder that, as public servants, you must always be guided by the finest principles of public administration, notably altruism, loyalty, dedication, excellence, integrity, responsiveness, and accountability," he said.
Sen. Christopher Lawrence "Bong" Go, also a speaker, urged local legislators and other functionaries to continue providing quality services in accordance with good governance principles.
“Public servants should embrace leadership that is inclusive, and non-violence through actions, and with courage to speak and act.”
DILG CAR assistant regional director Ruperto Maribbay, Jr., said the “NEO orientation served as avenue for the local legislators to learn, reflect, and share their valuable insights and learning discoveries with their fellow leaders, to forge ties with their partners in the local government sector, and to build a strong network among themselves – a community of development co-creators.”
He added the orientation will help local legislators in advancing their LGUs’ capacities while adapting transformational leadership approaches based on values and ethical standards.
The activity served as a venue for local officials to be oriented on laws and affecting local legislation that will aid in formulation of their legislative proposals and provide opportunity to establish linkage between the LGUs and national government agencies.
Resource people from partner agencies were invited to share their knowledge on the topics that will help local officials perform their duties.
Intergovernmental relations and local executive-legislative relations, local legislative awards and seal of good local and administrative governance, sanggunian quasi-judicial functions, parliamentary procedures for local legislators, and development legislation.
Topics included Sanggunian as driver for development and ABCs on effective local legislation.
The event was attended by 248 officials including city/municipal vice mayors, sangguniang panlalawigan, sangguniang bayan, LNB presidents, SK presidents, SB secretaries and other LGU representatives.
