DILG 5, through its Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence (PRAISE) – Best Innovative Competent and Outstanding Leadership DILG Awards (BICOL BIDA) Committee, conducts its post-assessment on January 24, 2023, after its successful PRAISE – BICOL BIDA Validation and Awarding Ceremonies last December 2022.
Through Assistant Regional Director Jhoaden G. Lucero’s guidance and facilitation, the committee members and validators were led to evaluate the implementation and identify ways to enhance and strengthen the awards system.
Further, the team agreed to align it with the direction and thrust of the Department, especially to encourage the achievement of different local governance audits like the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG).
In its ways forward, ARD Lucero and the team envision an improved implementation of the PRAISE-BICOL BIDA for 2023 and encourage everyone present to always go the extra mile.
