Posted on by cmn

MALAYBALAY CITY – The Department of Health and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), as lead agencies, recently launched the Philippine Multisectoral Nutrition Project (PMNP) in Bukidnon

The PMNP brings together various stakeholders and involved government agencies to address critical health issues focusing on maternal and child healthcare that carries the theme “Sa Healthy Pilipinas, Lahat Malakas! Converging Governance and Empowering Communities Against Maternal and Child Malnutrition.”

“Hindi pwede sila, hindi pwedeng tayo, kundi tayong lahat. Kaya sama-sama nating i-angat ang nutrisyon ng mga kabataan dahil we are chosen, because we can! Kayo ay napili para maging piloto sa ibang lokal na pamahalaan sa Region 10. (None of them can do it, and neither can we alone. If we all come together, we can totally make it happen! Let’s team up and boost the nutrition of the youth because we’ve been chosen for this mission. Let’s make a positive impact together),” Abdullah B. Dumana Jr. Undersecretary for Field Implementation and Coordination Team-Mindanao said.

Among 17 target regions, Northern Mindanao is one of the PMNP recipients.

Lanao del Norte and Bukidnon provinces were identified as implementing sites. Four Bukidnon towns: Talakag, Cabanglasan, Kalilangan, and San Fernando, were identified as pilot areas.

The four-year PMNP seeks to enhance the nutritional status of children aged five and below, including pregnant and lactating women, through a comprehensive approach covering health and nutrition services, food security, livelihood, water, sanitation, hygiene, and behavior change communication.

Bukidnon is one of the recipients of this project geared towards adopting a bold and multisectoral approach to achieve nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive interventions across various barangays in identified areas of the province.

DOH and DSWD, along with NNC, DA, DILG, NEDA, DBM, DOST, NCIP, and National Commission on Muslim Filipinos, jointly urged the LGUs, private sector, and communities to actively participate in addressing the prevalence of childhood stunting and nutritional deficiencies.

DOH Undersecretary Dumama Jr. led the Pledge of Commitment signing that conveyed the active participation of Gov. Rogelio Neil Roque, DILG Regional Director Wilhelm Suyko, and representatives from various partner agencies, all coming together to demonstrate their dedication to the cause. (BGE/PIA-Bukidnon)

On July 14, 2023, the City of Malaybalay, under the leadership of City Mayor Jay Warren R. Pabillaran and through the City Tourism Office spearheaded by Ms. Honolu Marie C. Cruzin, partnered with the Department of Tourism Region 10 to conduct an orientation for Accreditation

This certification, issued by the Department, officially recognizes tourism enterprises that have complied with the minimum standards for the operation of tourism facilities and services under RA 9593, also known as the Tourism Act of 2009.

RA 9593 Section 14 c) mandates the enforcement of Mandatory Accreditation for primary tourism enterprises and voluntary accreditation for secondary tourism enterprises, in accordance with prescribed guidelines and standards. Section 14 d) aims to establish a system of registration, information, linkage, and mutual assistance among accredited tourism enterprises to enhance the value of accreditation and improve the quality of service rendered by such enterprises.

According to RA 9593 Section 17 a), Regional Offices are responsible for implementing laws, policies, plans, programs, rules, and regulations of the Department, particularly those relating to compliance and the accreditation of tourism enterprises promulgated by the Department.

In line with this, Memorandum Circular 2019-17 issued by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reiterates the Implementing Rules and Regulations of Republic Act No. 9593 or the Tourism Act of 2009. The circular indicates that primary tourism enterprises, including hotels, resorts, inns, and other accommodation establishments, are required to secure accreditation from the DOT to obtain a license or permit to operate.

Mr. Ariel Gabriel Estrada, the Standards and Accreditations Officer of DOT-10, facilitated the orientation and highlighted the benefits and importance of Accreditation by DOT to the participants. In the afternoon session, he assisted the participants in submitting their requirements for the Online Accreditation Application.

The newly introduced Online Accreditation System offers a contactless transaction and hazard-free government service, aiming to expedite accreditation requests from local tourism establishments.

Through this streamlined system, local businesses, including micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), which collectively form the backbone of the tourism industry, will experience improved ease of doing business.

The orientation was well-attended, with a total of 80 participants. Councilor Royland M. Orquia, Committee Chairman on Tourism, warmly welcomed and expressed gratitude to everyone present during the orientation. (LGU Malaybalay)

Malaybalay City saved P57M by broadcasting online bidding sessions – Mayor Pabillaran

Posted on by cmn

MALAYBALAY CITY – Live broadcast of online bidding sessions conducted by the bids and awards committee (BAC) as part of the “initiative for competitive bidding” enabled the local government to save P57 million, City Mayor Jay Warren R. Pabillaran said

”Transparency in the delivery of public service has been my utmost thrust. Every day I commit myself to give everyone a fair share of their taxes,” he said in his State of the City Address during the 25th Charter Day Celebration program on March 22 at the Folk Arts Theatre here.

Pabillaran cited that his first directive was to require the BAC to reach out to more eligible bidders in Malaybalay. All bidding sessions are now broadcast live via social media, he said.

”I firmly believe that transparency deters corruption. For corruption weakens the rule of law and erodes the confidence of our people in our government,” he added.

The mayor said the city government appropriated a total of P651 million for 253 infrastructure projects in 2022.

He said the projects included buildings, roads, bridges, water systems, flood control, electrification, and other infrastructures.

He noted that through the concerted effort of different offices and divisions, Malaybalay increased its Consolidated Gross Local Income to P221 million in 2022, “the highest” so far for the city.

Pabillaran highlighted the accomplishments so far of his administration’s SHIELD flagship programs and reported the savings under “Integrity in governance and public service”.

In his inaugural speech in June 2022, the mayor presented his six-point governance agenda dubbed “S.H.I.E.L.D.” or kalasag in Binukid. The acronym represents the thrusts of his administration: Safety, Health, Integrity in governance, Environment, Leading to agricultural eco-tourism, and Development in infrastructure.

Pabillaran started serving as mayor from March 2022, when, as vice mayor, he assumed the post by succession, following the death of Mayor Florencio T. Flores Jr. He won the mayoralty race in May 2022.

He called for cooperation in boosting the faith and wisdom of the people in governance and public service.

He said the city bagged last year the Seal of Good Financial Housekeeping from the Department of the Interior and Local Government for its transparent, accountable, and timely financial reports.

Valencia City, Bukidnon’s other component city, and 15 of the province’s 20 towns also passed the evaluation for the seal.

Pabillaran also noted that the year-round one-stop-shop business registration also increased the number of establishments that registered thereby spurring economic activities after the pandemic.

Innovation in the assessment process by the City Assessor’s Office resulted in P55 million worth of real property tax in 2022, he said.

He thanked the city council for the live broadcast of its sessions and urged its members to build on the spirit of unity based on commonalities.

”We may have different approaches but our priorities do not need to contradict,” he added.

Malaybalay became a component city of Bukidnon through Republic Act No. 8490. It was Republic Act No. 8813 that declared March 22 as the Charter Day of the city.

The local government recognized the role of former Malaybalay mayor and 2nd District representative Reginaldo N. Tilanduca, who authored the conversion of Malaybalay into a city. During the Charter Day celebration on Wednesday, the city government awarded the late official a plaque, which was received by his sister Aida T. Solis. (MindaNews)

monitoring and supervision as well as a higher degree of accountability among the stakeholders.
The successful event was made possible by the active involvement of the Local Government Unit of Lantapan through the able leadership of Municipal Mayor Ernie R. Devibar and the Municipal Engineering’s Office in collaboration with DILG Lantapan.
In his message, Mayor Devibar wholeheartedly expressed his appreciation to the national government for giving a significant amount for the implementation of their project. He further signifies the LGUs support in the repair and maintenance of the project. “Dako amoang pasalamat sa nadawat nga mga proyekto nga ge dapat sa siyam (9) ka mga
barangay. Nanghinaot ako nga ang mga barangay og residente mag hatag og pagtagad alang sa pag amping sa mga proyekto, og kami usab sa munisipyo mo alalay alang sa pag repair og pag maintain sa
mga proyekto”, said Mayor Devibar.
Barangays of Alanib, Bantuanon, Basac, Cawayan, Kibanggay, Kulasihan, Capitan Juan, Songco, and Victory received PhP20Million each worth of funding for the implementation of their
priority projects to address primarily the development gaps and bring sustainable peace to formerly communist-infiltrated barangays.
“Amoang dakong kalipay nga nasinatian na namo ang kabag-ohan tungod sa mga proyektong nahatag diri sa amoang lugar. Aduna nay kalinaw og naka tagamtam na og saktong tubig ang mga lumulupyo sa taas nga bahin sa amoang barangay”, said Punong Barangay Reynald C. Pisgay of Barangay Capitan Juan.
The activity was also graced by the presence and congratulatory messages from partner line agencies represented by LTC Roger Anthony E Nuylan Jr INF (GSC) PA, Deputy Provincial
Director Col. Arce Yam-oc of PNP Bukidnon, Provincial Engineering Office, and Members of the beneficiary Barangay Council.
The SBDP is a result of the Retooled Community Support Program of DILG, a convergence mechanism of the government, particularly on the identification of the needed interventions at the barangay level, anchored in addressing efficient delivery of basic services to once communist-affected barangays.
