The Local Government of San Fernando and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Camarines Sur take pride in an initiative to gather all Municipal Elective Officials, headed by Hon. Eugenio E. Lagasca, Jr, Municipal Mayor and Hon. Leopoldo C. Doblon, Municipal Vice-Mayor as well as  local functionaries in a three-day activity dubbed as “Shifting Gears Towards Greater Productivity and Performance” : Charting New Directions for LGU San Fernando.   This was conducted in February 1-3, 2012 at the Benamira Resort, Minalabac, Camarines Sur with Provincial Director Arnel Renato L. Madrideo leading the Training Team along with  LGOO VI Angela V. Astor, LGOO VI Angela M. Galvo and LGOO V Lino Ruperto Boncodin as members. The training module consisted of three main parts, namely, (1) assessment of the internal management and capability; (2) charting goals of the organization through the Outcomes Framework with the Theory of Change as a tool; and (3) identification of indicators and interventions to realize change. The Reforms Agenda on Performance and Productivity report was generated as a result of the activity.

LGU San Fernando, fresh from being conferred with the Seal of Good Housekeeping was ready to initiate some changes as an organization to make administrative capacities stronger. They believe that this  would enable them to achieve more and do more for the people of San Fernando. – (LGOO VI Angela V. Astor)
