CEBU CITY – Agusan del Sur governor Eddiebong Plaza presented before human resource and organizational development (HROD) practitioners both from the government and private sectors the province’s Strategic Performance Management System (SPMS).

The local chief executive gave a talk on “Shared Governance, Shared Future: Making the Performance Scorecard Work” during the 2013 National Human Resource Symposium held at the Waterfront Hotel.

Held under the auspices of the Civil Service Commission through the Civil Service Institute and the Australian Agency for International Development’s Philippine-Australia Human Resource Organizational Development Facility, the forum aimed in further strengthening HROD to bring about institutional changes and reforms.

    In his presentation, Governor Plaza shared his leadership approaches in ensuring the effective performance of the provincial government of Agusan del Sur (PGAS) officials and employees through the implementation of the SPMS to bring about sustainable development in the province.

According to Ms. Josephine Ambongan; the Provincial Management Human Resource Officer and also Chief-of-Staff of the governor, the modified version of the PGAS-SPMS was crafted by a core team that responded and coincided with the basic elements and requirements of the CSC model pursuant to its Memorandum Circular No. 6 of 2012 as enunciated in Resolution No. 1200481 dated March 16, 2012.

She added PGAS adopted the principles of the balanced scorecard by Norton and Kaplan and harmonized the concepts of the PGAS Modified Performance Evaluation System (MPES) including the concepts and guidelines of the CSC-SPMS model as a management tool in managing and measuring performance in the various levels in the organization.

The HR officer pointed out the PGAS-SPMS is under pilot-testing effective July to December 2013 as authorized by CSC with a facilitator team starting the conduct of the SPMS orientation and workshop to have common understanding on the new tools, process, and guidelines for its smooth implementation.

Participants gave positive responses to the talk of Governor Plaza and appreciated the headway PGAS has attained in human resource development and management system and invited him as resource speaker in their respective local government units. Some even expressed desire to conduct bench marking by visiting Agusan del Sur. (PPIO_ADS / Melody De Vera)

TALACOGON, AGUSAN DEL SUR - The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) through its Performance Challenge Fund (PCF) projects quickly responded to the needs of the residents in two barangays here when a farm-to-market road was inaugurated recently.

    Opened on Thursday, May 30 to the public was the newly-constructed Marbon-Tutuan-Adgaon road after an ocular inspection and simple turn-over rites were held with Mayor Isaias Masendo,  Armando Gomez, chief of staff of Governor Eddiebong Plaza, DILG Officer Lolita Savaria and barangay officials.
 
   Expected to benefit from the P 2 million nine-kilometer road project funded equally by DILG through PCF and the 20% Provincial Development Fund and implemented by the municipal government are the 1,658 residents of Barangays Marbon and Zillovia.

According to Marbon Barangay Captain Gaudencio Abion, the project is a huge relief to the people who endured for quite some time the poor road condition especially in bringing patients to hospitals in emergency cases.  

As the village chief, Abion added the project is a big boon to his constituents and he was grateful for making their dream come true.

Zillovia Barangay Captain Ernesto Napao on his part pointed out the economic implications of the project as it would make transportation easier. “With this development, travelling will be much more convenient and we expect the fare of passengers and crops to significantly drop down,” Napao stressed.

In his message, Gomez, representing Governor Plaza highlighted the relevance of the project. He said the delivery of social services on health and education and also of livelihood programs on agriculture for the constituents would be hastened.

    He added that the FMR project will contribute further to reducing the poverty incidence rate and in improving the quality of life of Agusanons as desired by Governor Plaza.

    Earlier this year, the National Statistical Coordination Board came out with the list  of the top 16 poorest provinces in the country based on a survey last year and Agusan del Sur is no longer included as was the case in the past years.

PCF was a brainchild of then DILG Secretary Jesse Robredo of providing incentives to LGUs for being meriting the Seal of Good Housekeeping for good governance.

Talacogon is one of the towns in Agusan del Sur which got DILG’s nod on good governance. (PPIO-AGSUR)
