Looking Back, Moving Forward

As your OIC municipal administrator, I welcome everyone to this CDP CapDev-ELA workshop that we all expect to be abundant in commitment, competency, care, and compassion, as we all aspire for outputs that will embody our combined dreams and aspirations for every citizen of Sablayan, who deserves the best possible opportunities to achieve true, inclusive, and meaningful progress.

As we are about to start this tedious seven days of revisiting, rejuvenating, rectifying, and re-affirming what we crafted three years back, let us not forget that it is also our task to build concrete manifestation of the harmonious working relations of both the executive and legislative branches of the Local Government Unit of Sablayan in carrying out its mandate and effectively discharging its functions without compromising check and balance in the local government unit. Already now, let us congratulate Mayor Bong B. Marquez, and Vice-Mayor Edwin N. Mintu, and give them a warm round of applause.

As I welcome you to this historic event, may we always be reminded that as government employees there has to be a paradigm shift in the way we approach your work so that you assist the government to achieve its goal of delivering a better life for all. We cannot afford to fail our clients, constituents, mission partners, and our people. We invested people’s money in this and it would be a shame if we fail them.

Let us work together in this particular task concerning our CDP CapDev-ELA to move forward with the Municipality that we momentarily left behind. May this will become a historic event where LGU employees and elective officials, the Sanggunian Bayan and the Executive Offices, act in unison for the common good and welfare.

I wish you everything of the best in your tasks and missions and encourage everyone to participate fully and with the utmost relevance. Raise your concerns here. This is the right tree to bark, and the proper venue and avenue to ventilate it so that we can build on them and become a better Municipal Government and become a beacon of hope. We can achieve this if we commit ourselves to do our jobs, specifically in this series of workshops and deliberations, diligently to the best of our being.

Once again, welcome to this CDP CapDev ELA workshop, and may we make this truly meaningful, participative, and enjoyable.

Thank you and let’s move Sablayan forward as we revisit, and look back at what we have crafted in the past.

Let the simultaneous brainstorming and the swimming begin!

Thank you very much.
