LGU PABAHAY PROJECT Ready for Occupancy

Seven months after its ground breaking and awarding

ceremony on August 6, 2012 the 20-unit Pabahay Pro-

ject located in Barangay Napo, Santo Domingo is now

ready for occupancy covering a floor area of 20 sq. me-

ters, each unit has a kitchen and toilet-bath. The owners

have the option to install dividers to have their own pri-

vate rooms.

The Pabahay Project is a joint undertaking of the

DSWD Core Shelter Assistance Program and the Local

Government Unit. The LGU provided the lot (1500

sq.m) worth Php 327,250.00 and Php 220,000.00 for the

additional materials for backfilling and concreting of

pathway and canal.

The DSWD Core Shelter Assistance Program awarded

each beneficiary Php 70,000.00 for the materials or a

total of Php 1,400,000.00 for the 20 beneficiaries.

Through the Cash for Work Program the DSWD provid-

ed assistance worth Php 378,000 for the site develop-

ment, Php 111, 600.00 for labor, and Php 405,000.00 for

the completion of the project.

After the completion of the project, the beneficiaries are

expected to improve the area through greening and

beautification and keeping their sorroundings clean.

SDO LGU Excellent in ARTA Compliance The Municipal Government Office of Santo Domingo

received a commendation from the Civil Service Com-

mission for obtaining a rating of 96.61% (Excellent) in

ARTA (Anti Red Tape Act) compliance, the highest in

the entire province of Ilocos Sur.

The rating was based on two evaluation instruments, the

questionnaire and the inspection checklist. The evalua-

tion team gathered data from a total of 30 clients select-

ed at random, 15 from the Office of the Civil Registry

and 15 from the Health Services. The instruments cov-

ered the following areas of concerns: Compliance with

ARTA provisions; Frontline Service Provider; Service

Quality; Physical Working Condition; and Overall Sat-

isfaction.

The Civil Service Commission Report states that gener-

ally, the respondents commented the LGU for the fast

delivery of frontline services in compliance with the

Citizens Charter. The LGU is best complemented for the

provision of a Courtesy Room for Senior Citizens, PWD’s and Pregnant Women. Continued on Page 8

UPDATING OF COMPREHENSIVE LAND USE

PLAN SOON TO FINISH

It has been a year when the Municipal Planning Team

started to update the Comprehensive Land Use Plan.

This plan contains the ten (10) years plan which will

help the municipality to attain its vision. After a series of

revisions, the updating will soon be finalized. Zoning

Ordinance was already adopted by the Sangguniang

Bayan and said plan is under review by the members of

the Provincial Land Use Committee. The LGU Munici-

pal Planning Team attended series of seminar workshops

composed of seven (7) modules to facilitate the updating

process. During the fifth and sixth modules the SDO

Municipal Planning Team was awarded a Certificate of

Recognition for having produced one of the best five

outputs during the seminar workshop. Among the thirty-

four (34) municipalities including the two cities, the Mu-

nicipality of Santo Domingo is one of the first five mu-

nicipalities to finish the updating of the CLUP.

Aware that this cannot be done by one person or office

alone, the Municipal Planning and Development Office

acknowledges with gratitude the untiring efforts and

contributions of the different department heads, the mu-

nicipal planning team, the municipal officials, members

of the Provincial Land Use Committee who conducted

the review and the officials and staff of Housing and

Land Use Regulatory Board for conducting the series of

seminar that helped the teams in the updating process.

BE A BLOOD DONOR. BE A LIFE SAVER

In its continuing effort to promote adequacy, accessibil-

ity, safety and quality of blood and blood products, the

Philippine Blood Coordinating Council (PBCC) in coop-

eration with Department of Health – Center for Health

Development for Ilocos Sur conducted a training entitled

“Training of Local Blood Program Coordinators on Do-

nor Recruitment, Retention and Care, and Organizing

Mobile Blood Donation”. It was held last February 20 -

21, 2013 at Ridgewood Residences, Baguio City. The

participants were a mixture of municipal health officers,

public health nurses, and medical technologists of Re-

gion I

The training focused mainly on Blood Donor Selection

and Counselling. Donor Selection process contributes

significantly to the safety of blood and blood products.

Only persons in normal health, with a good medical his-

tory and absence of high risk behaviour associated with

transfusion-transmissible infections (TTI’S) shall be ac-

cepted as donors of blood. Transfusion-transmissible

infections (TTI’S) shall be accepted as donors of blood.

Transfusion-transmissible infections include HIV/AIDS,

Hepatits B, Hepatitis C, Syphilis and Malaria. A blood

donor must be 16-60 years of age. Blood donors below

18 years old must secure consent from his/her parent or

guardian. A blood donor must weigh at least 50 kgs.,

have a hemoglobin level of 125-175 g/L for females and

135-185 g/L for males, have a blood pressure not higher

than 160/100mmhg and a pulse rate of 60-100 beats per

minute.

Lastly encourage all of you to support this program. Let

us mobilize our townmates to become voluntary blood

donors. I would like to share this inspiring quotation

from John Wesley.

“Do all the good you can

By all means you can

In all the ways you can

In all the places you can

At all times you can

To all the people you can

As long as ever you can”

A FAREWELL TREAT IN THE CITY OF DURIAN AND THE PHILIPPINE EAGLE

(By: Hon. Edwin Maribert M. Tacbas)

February 5-7, 2013 must be a very memorable days for all

graduating councilors who were in attendance to the First

Quarterly Executive Officers and National Board Meeting of

the Philippine Councilors League at the SMX Convention

Center, SM Lanang Premier Davao City.

The Continuing Local Legislative Education Program

(CLLEP) is a continuing activity of PCL intended for capabil-

ity as well as updating the members of the current issues and

developments taking place in the various local development

units of the country. It serves as an instrument for a continu-

ing process of self-renewal for incumbent local legislator

member.

The delegation who represented our Municipality was com-

posed of SBM’s Tomasito Robinson de Vera, Henry Q. Palpal

-latoc, Michael Emili V. Figueras, Eugene R. Tadeja and

yours truly (Mabbet Tacbas). A team fitted enough for a good

and fruitful representative for our Municipality.

Our interactions and sharings with our counterparts from vari-

ous parts of the country and listening to the expert speakers

certainly enriched our outlook and gave us a better view of

our responsibilities and obligations to our constituents. The

cammaraderies and fun and the thoughts we shared with our

fellow councilors will forever remind in our hearts in the

name of our battlecry and motto “Public service above self”.

It may be sad to note that we will all be ending our terms and

this maybe one way of bidding goodbye to public service but

certainly it bolstered our moral, to serve with urgency and

dedication to the best we can for the remaining few months of

our incumbency as public servants. Thanks to our presiding

officer, Vice Mayor Floro Tadena and our esteemed Mayor

Lito Tadena for the rare opportunity.

When finally our time to bid goodbye will come, we assure

you that our attendance could never be in vain, we will al-

ways cherish and nurture the enlightening experiences of the

Davao City conference for a better service in the future.

Php 4M PLUS FOR FLOOD CONTROL PROJECTS

Out of the Php 14 M requested by the Sangguniang Bayan for

the construction of river flood control in five eastern baran-

gays, the National Risk Reduction and Management Office

released recently an initial amount of Four Million Nine Hun-

dred Fifty Thousand (Php 4,950,000.00) for the said project.

After the bidding process, the Bids and Awards Committee

(BAC), awarded the following projects to the winning con-

tractor who is just waiting for the notice to proceed before

starting said projects.

The construction of flood control projects is a disaster pre-

paredness strategy of the local government to protect the

flood-prone barangays along the Kaliwet River. It also

protects other barangays that are affected by flooding

during the rainy season. (CDVera)
