On December 18, 2024, at The Pepperland Hotel, the DILG Region 5 family came together to celebrate excellence, dedication, and commitment in public service during the BICOL-BIDA PRAISE Awarding Ceremonies. This momentous event highlighted the outstanding achievements of DILG V personnel through service awards, special citations, loyalty awards, and BICOL-BIDA PRAISE gem awards.

As part of our annual performance assessment, this gathering allowed us to reflect on our accomplishments, address challenges, and reinforce our dedication to delivering top-tier programs and projects. It also served as a platform to recognize the invaluable efforts of our team—our BIDA champions and heroes in public service.

The activity is attended by DILG 5 Regional Director Atty. Arnaldo E. Escober, Jr., CESO III, Assistant Regional Director Jhoaden G. Lucero, CESO IV, and the Provincial Directors, Cluster Heads, Program Managers, Regional Division Chiefs and Section Chiefs, and DILG Officers and Personnel.
