Department of Interior and Local Government Regional Director Leocadio Trovela vowed to remain a solid partner with the local government units in the pursuit of good local governance during the Neo Orientation Course: Primed Leaders for Renewed Local Governance on Thursday in Cordova, Cebu.

“Given the foreseen changes brought by several major events such as the implementation of the Mandanas-Garcia ruling, the post-pandemic era, global economic crisis, peace and order and public safety threats, and the hazards caused by the climate change among others, DILG and LGA are committed to becoming your implementing partners for capacity development programs to help you perform your responsibilities, fulfill your mandates, and better respond to challenges,” he said.

The two-day orientation is attended by municipal mayors of Central Visayas.
