Featured LGU: PCF Recipient

Santol, La Union: “One People, One Town” “Maysaak a mannalon ket napadasak immut-utang middlemen. Nagrigat kastoy a pagutangan. Agyamanak LGU tayo ditoy Santol ta adda nabuangay nga SDC tayo ket nagdakkel naitulong na kanyak agsipud ta simmayaat biag ko. Bassit interest na. Kayang kaya nga bayadan ta maitotop pakasapulan tayo. Isu nga dakkel yaman ko SDC under magSimula Loan Program.” Thus the tes mony of Mario R. Directo of Le ac Norte, Santol, La Union on the new program established by the Municipal Government of Santol, La Union headed by Mayor Daisy Sayangda-Olivar. The Santol Development Center (SDC) is set up to cater to the needs of the local residents on savings and investments. Through Sangguniang Bayan Resolu on No. 2010-71, the center is established and operated by the Local Government Unit which will work as its corporate en ty in providing revenues and as the main fi nancial facility. It has an ini al fund capital of three million pesos coming from the Presiden al Challenge Fund (PCF) of the Department of the Interior and Local Government and RA 7171 Municipal Share of one and two million pesos, respec vely. Recently, Congressman Victor C. Ortega contributed one million pesos from his RA 7171 share.

The SDC fosters a culture of thri iness and self sustenance where the people are taught to imbibe the quali es of ini a ve and hardwork. According to Mayor Olivar, SDC is one of the answers to poverty allevia on and be erment of the quality of life of every Santolian. There are four program services that the center is off ering to the diff erent walks of life of the Santolian. “Toy Agserbi Salary Loan” is extended to municipal & barangay offi cials and municipal employees. As of May 31, 2011, the SDC has approved applica ons amoun ng to P3,424,800.00. The “agNEGOSYO LOAN” is the second service program. Because of the closure of the only bank in the municipality, micro businessmen had diffi culty seeking ini al funds for their enterprise. With the establishment of the center, small- me entrepreneurs can avail of loans with very minimal interest rate of 8% per annum. Seventy one applica ons totaling to P498,945.02 were already approved as of May 31. “Plant Now Pay Later” Scheme now renamed “magSIMULA LOAN” is a window of farmers. The municipal management acknowledges that capital is most essen al in the farm produc on and the most pressing problem encountered by farmers. Thus they opened a loan opportunity for them. More than 200 farmers were provided with assistance with an amount of not less than 1.3 million pesos given. The last component is the “Kailian Loan”. This loan facility caters to Overseas Filipino Workers and its families only.

With only seven months in opera on, the four million pesos capital they have has ballooned to P6,186,622.95. If the prevailing trend con nues and excellence and transparency in opera ons are prac ced as what the Seal of Good Housekeeping advocates,truly the Santol Development Center is “Kadwam Asenso”! (LGOO VI PAULINO G. LALATA, JR., DILG La Union)

Featured LGU: PCF Recipient

Alilem, Ilocos Sur: “Paving the Way to Development” Alilem is a municipality in Ilocos Sur with an abundant water source, having two main rivers – Bakun River and Amburayan River. Its name originated from two words “alicono” (whirlpool) and “lemlem” (continuous heavy downpour). The municipality was founded sometime after 1820. During the Spanish regime, Alilem was the center of the sub-province Amburayan. But at the onset of the American era, the seat of government was transferred to Tagudin and Alilem became an ordinary town.

After the 2nd World War, the municipality experienced fi nancial constraints which hindered its development.

Today, Alilem is a fourth class municipality that boasts of rich natural resources. The people rely on farming as the main source of income. But it is diffi cult for them to travel and trade their produce due to the mountainous passes and dirt roads.

However, this did not stop the municipal government from pursuing its goal to deliver timely and quality services, and uplift the economic status of the people.Alilem did its best to pass the Seal of Good Housekeeping (SGH), a program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) which called for excellence in “internal operations” of local government units (LGUs). The program was initially implemented in 2010 and was open to all 4th – 6th income class municipalities. They were evaluated based on the areas of Planning, Fiscal Management, Transparency and Fundamentals in Governance.

Alilem gained high ratings in the fi ve areas and emerged as one of the winners of the 2010 SGH. The municipality was then granted the P 1 million Performance Challenge Fund (PCF).The projects – improvement of the Abatan – Daddaay Farm to Market Road (FMR);improvement of Alilem Roads and Concreting of Poblacion-Batbato FMR – wereimplemented using the PCF and LGU counterpart funding. These are urgent developmental projects since accessibility is poor especially during the rainy season. These will make it easy for residents to travel to the town proper and trade or avail of services and agricultural produce. The main benefi ciaries are 1, 255 residents of barangays Daddaay and Batbato who are mostly marginalized farmers and indigenous people. The projects consist of pavement concreting and stone masonry works in an estimated area of 1, 919 square meters. It was concentrated on the undulating portions, sharp curves and other risky sections.

Unpleasant weather conditions and other infrastructure projects along the access roads caused delays in the implementation. The projects were completed on June 1, 2011. (LGOO II NICOLETTE MAY O. AMON, DILG)

DILG and KBP team up for the National Greening Program

The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) headed by Secretary Jesse M. Robredo and the Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng Pilipinas (KBP) represented by its Chairman, Mr. Herman Z. Basbaño, teamed up for the National Greening Program (NGP), one of the priority programs of the Aquino Administration.

Through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA), the DILG and the KBP forged a partnership to advocate and encourage wider public involvement and participation for the successful conduct of seedling generation and their subsequent planting in barangays throughout the country. Both institutions also committed to harness support and cooperation for the Program from the civil society organizations, media groups, the community and other local – based green and environmental advocates.

President Benigno S. Aquino issued Executive Order No. 26 giving the Department the responsibility to conduct information, education and communications campaigns relative to the NGP.

The NGP is an effort of the present administration to harmonize and integrate all greening programs in the country. Its objectives are poverty reduction, food security, land productivity, environmental stability and sustainability, climate change mitigation and adaptation, and value formation. The program, compared to past greening efforts, will ensure the survival of planted seedlings through strict monitoring. Implementation of the Program will employ the multi – sectoral – convergence approach with the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR) as the lead agency. The goal of NGP is to plant 1.5 million hectares of land with 1.5 billion seedlings from 2011 to 2016.

For Region 1, DILG Regional Director Manuel V. Biasonissued a Memorandum to all its Provincial Directorsand fi eld offi cers enjoining themto conduct advocacy activities in their respective areas of jurisdiction in line with the NGP. The offi cealso took part in the NGP Region 1 launching conducted in Caba, La Union on June 25, 2011.

As contribution to the NGP,all the regional offi ce management and staff have committed to plant 10 seedlings each starting August 12, 2011 in Barangay Masicong, City of San Fernando, La Union.
