Message of the Regional Director

Consistent with the policy thrust of the Department under the stewardship of Secretary Jesse M. Robredo, the Department of the Interior
and Local Government (DILG) Region IX successfully implemented, without let-up, the programs, projects and activities (P/P/As) for CY 2011.

Despite the predicaments that we were confronted with in the various aspect of office operations, a team of disciplined, dedicated and hard working regional and field officers made possible, whatever success we have attained in order to realize and achieve our goals and objectives as an organization.

Contributory to the smooth implementation of the Department’s P/P/As at the local levels is th unwavering support of the local chief executives, civil society organizations, National Government Agencies (NGAs) and various stakeholders in the region, who have been our active partners in carrying-out our vision and mandate, and with whom, we have established solid partnership with.

With our efforts more focused on the principles of transparency, accountability and enhanced people participation, LGUs in Region IX have been inspired to accelerate and improve their level of performance, thereby, raising the level of excellence in local governance to yet another notch.

With this, let us continue to be instruments of change in the LGUs, harmonize our efforts in order to level-up P/P/A implementation to effectively cater to the needs of the community.

Our accomplishments for CY 2011 only proves that with cooperation, support, unity and team work, success I never too far behind, as illustrated in our CY 2011 Annual Accomplishment Report.

Congratulations and cheers to all for a job well done!
