In celebration of World Water Day 2021, DILG-7 joins the nations in advocating awareness of the global water crisis and supporting the Sustainable Development Goal (SGD) 6: water and sanitation for all by 2030.
The regional office on Monday, March 22, conducted a virtual flag-raising ceremony organized by the Local Government Capability Development Division.
It was attended by employees of DILG-7 regional office and field office in Bohol, Siquijor, Negros Oriental, Cebu, Lapu-Lapu City, Mandaue City and Cebu City.
“I’d like to assure our team that the regional office is committed to supporting you within our capacity,” said Regional Director Leocadio Trovela in his virtual message of support to DILG personnel.
“Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic, we’re still able to move around to work on our deliverables, and I commend the team for that,” he added.
DILG Undersecretary Bernardo Florece Jr., the Department’s officer-in-charge, also sent his message of support thru a video message.
“As we celebrate World Water Day 2021, bannering the theme Valuing Water, we strive to heighten our awareness and bring to life the importance of providing, protecting and ensuring the sustainability of our fast-depleting water resources,” said Florece.
The virtual flag-raising ceremony is a prelude to the 2021 water day virtual program set on Friday. This will be attended by DILG employees and barangay officials in Central Visayas.
