MAASIN CITY – A total
of 46 elected provincial officials, department heads and members of
the Provincial Development Council participated in the
Seminar-Workshop on the Formulation of Executive-Legislative Agenda (ELA)
and Capacity Development (CapDev) Agenda held at Cebu Grand Hotel,
Cebu City on September 11-13, 2013.
The three-day activity was
conducted by the Provincial Government of Southern Leyte in view of
its mandated roles enshrined in the Local Government Code and in
compliance with DILG Memo Circular No. 2013-64. Providing technical
assistance were DILG officers composed of Provincial Director Juan M.
Badocdoc, LGOO V Vicente Maraon, LGOO V Geraldine Maquelabit, and LGOO
V Maria Cristina Tiu.
According to Provincial
Director Johnny Badocdoc, the term-based ELA is the roadmap for the
attainment of the province's development priorities within the next
three years.
Under the leadership of the
hands-on Governor, Roger G. Mercado, the participants were able to
identify and prioritize complex issues confronting the province and
managed to come up with development priorities to be budgeted and
implemented. The ELA and CapDev Agenda documents will be submitted to
the DILG.
The activity was likewise
attended by LMP President Roberto A. Loquinte and representatives of
civil society organizations (CSOs) who also are PDC Members.
