The activity provided the assessment committees a walk-through on the mechanics of the CDP assessment process and parameters as well as the enhanced assessment tool.

In his welcome message, DILG-7 Director Leocadio Trovela emphasized the importance for a stronger collaboration among the stakeholders and among the teams at the LGU level.
 
“The technical assistance that eventually will be needing by the local government units, especially the component cities and the municipalities, which will be anchored in the province will not be fully implemented without the full cooperation of everyone,” he said.
 
“I hope this workshop will trigger the kind of synergy that will be very essential in the technical assistance that will be needed by our government units in so far as the implementation of the Mandanas ruling (is concerned) in relation to revisiting the vital role of the planning instruments such as CDP,” he added.
 
LGCDD chief Chief Maria Thelya Oporto, for her part, laid down the objectives of the whole-day activity.
 
Meanwhile, LGOO V Jerson Obo, CDP regional focal person, gave a thorough discussion on the DILG Memorandum Circular 2021-037, which sets the updated guidelines on the assessment of CDPs of cities and municipalities.
 
To provide a first-hand experience on the updated tool, a mock CDP assessment workshop was also conducted.
 
“This may not be an easy task kay bag-o ni for all of us but hopefully we can make the necessary initial steps to take this off and to jump-start everything especially for our LGUs,” said DILG Cebu Provincial Director Jhoaden Lucero.

The Department of the Interior and Local Government urged all barangays, DILG officers, and local vaccination operations center (VOC) to strengthen their information drive on the vaccination rollout against COVID-19.

Undersecretary for Mindanao Affairs and Special Concerns Marjorie Jalosjos graced the ceremonial vaccination in Cebu at the Vicente Sotto Memorial Medical Center today.

“Let us keep our faith that this pandemic will soon come to an end. This COVID-19 vaccine rollout, for one, gives us a glimmer of hope. Rest assured, DILG is one with you in this fight against this invisible enemy,” she added.
 
She said that the Barangay Assembly Day, which can be conducted on any of Saturdays or Sundays of March 2021, is a proper venue to inform and motivate their constituents to be vaccinated.
 
“Ayaw mo kahadlok kay di mohatag ang gobyerno kung di siya safe,” Jalosjos added.
 
DILG directed the local government units to create vaccination operations center and VOC hotlines, and formulate their vaccination plan.
 
Aside from the creation of VOCs, the preparation for the masterlist of priority eligible vaccinees and existing human resources and personnel needed in the vaccination program such as doctors, nurses, barangay health workers, and other medical personnel in LGUs is also ongoing.
 
Jalosjos also called on to replicate the deployment of DILG Cebu City of its hired contact tracers to augment the workforce of the city’s VOC. Cebu City has been identified as one of the priority areas in the country for the rollout of vaccines.
 
Jalosjos said the LGUs are identifying areas for possible vaccine centers, available cold chain storages, and other logistical requirements for easy implementation of the program.
 
Also present in today’s ceremony were Presidential Spokesperson Harry Roque, Department of Health Undersecretary Gerardo Bayugo, IATF Visayas Chief Implementer Melquiades Feliciano, DILG-7 Director Leocadio Trovela, DOH-7 Director Jaime Bernadas, and other officials.
