In a bid to fill in the expected supply gap as the government seeks for the removal of fake vinegar from local markets, the Department of Agriculture (DA) will conduct a nationwide training on production of natural vinegar derived from coconuts, spearheaded by the Philippine Coconut Authority (PCA).
Agriculture Secretary Emmanuel Piñol said DA is targeting coconut farmers and women’s groups as main beneficiaries of the program.
To kick off the program, the DA and PCA launch a one-day orientation event tagged as the “Natural Vinegar Production Program” today/May 28 at the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) in Quezon City.
Subjects tackled during the orientation includes: (1) Status of the Philippine Coconut Industry and the Duterte Administration’s thrust to develop other high-value products from coconut; (2) Potentials of Natural Vinegar for Household and Industrial Uses; (3) Processing and Production of Natural Vinegar using Coconut Sap, Coconut Water, Nipa Sap, Sugarcane Juice, Banana and other fruits; (4) Introduction of the “Acetator” Equipment developed by the Department of Science and Technology which could process Coconut Water into vinegar in 16 hours; (5) DA-PCA Program for the Establishment of Village-Level Processing Facilities for Household and Industrial Vinegar; and (6) DA-ACPC Loaning Program for Agricultural Production to include production of household and industrial vinegar.
Secretary Piñol said experts, farmers and entrepreneurs whose expertises were focused on vinegar production will be invited.
“Among the leading companies is Green Life Coco Products based in Laguna which is producing 20-metric tons of organic coco sap vinegar and 60-metric tons of coco water vinegar monthly,” the Secretary said.
The agri chief stressed how vinegar-making, a traditional source of income for many coconut farmers in the country, have been left “ignored and neglected” by the government in the past.
He cited that in a yearly basis, about 3.5 billion liters of coconut water were being wasted instead of being used or utilized in producing other coconut product like vinegar.
“For coconut water alone, the country produces 15-billion matured nuts yearly with farmers focused only on harvesting the coconut meat and throwing away the other parts of the nuts, including water,” he said.
“Assuming that each nut contains 1/4 liter of coconut water, the volume of coconut water wasted is estimated at 3.5-billion liters,” he added. He even cited how a one liter of vinegar is being sold at the market for P50 while fruit vinegar was being sold at a higher price.
In that note, Piñol still believes that with the help of the government, the industry of vinegar-making from the coconuts will once again be revived and improved.
“With the consumers now getting more health-conscious and opting for healthy food, the production of natural and organic vinegar has a huge market potential provided the production process, including the packaging, is improved with government assistance,” he said. # Source - Kuhlin Ceslie Gacula/DA Press Office)

BRIONES ENJOINS REGIONS, DIVISIONS: LESS PROBLEMS, MORE LEARNERS ON OPENING OF CLASSES
Less than a week before school year (SY) 2019-2020 opens, Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones directed all the Regional and Division offices to help ensure that the opening of classes will see less recurrent problems and more learners able to attend school.
“Ang pinaka-urgent na question, paano tayo naghahanda para sa opening ng school year? We have our early registration, school readiness assessment, of course ang Brigada Eskwela, among others. This week, the Department reactivated its annual Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE), with a Public Assistance Command Center (PACC) in the Central, Regional and Division offices, to ensure the readiness and the welfare of our learners,” the Education chief highlighted.
The PACC includes frontline services such as help desks, hotline numbers and email addresses to accommodate the public’s queries and concerns related to the opening of classes. The Regional and Division offices also conduct advocacy and information campaign and employ best practices to help improve the public’s awareness and understanding of the Department’s programs, projects, policies and activities at the grassroots level.
As of morning of May 29, the PACC at the Central Office resolved 739 of the 823 total queries, complaints, requests, and suggestions since its reactivation last May 27. Among the concerns raised were about the Senior High School (SHS) Program, enrollment, school policy and operations, DepEd programs, examinations, resources/facilities, and legal matters.
“Patunay lamang ang OBE na ang edukasyon ay hindi lamang responsibilidad ng DepEd. Andyan ang iba’t ibang ahensya ng gobyerno at pribadong sektor na nagtutulungan para ihanda ang ating mga eskwela at mga mag-aaral para sa mas maayos na pagsisimula ng panibagong taon ng pagkatuto,” Brioned noted.
Aside from monitoring OBE activities, the Secretary is also set to visit schools starting June 3 to welcome the learners and to ensure that they are accommodated in a conducive, nurturing, and safe learning environment. # Source – www.deped.gov.ph

PHL MALARIA-FREE BY 2030 - DOH
In observance of this year’s World Malaria Day, the Department of Health (DOH) today disclosed that only four provinces remain endemic for malaria as the country races to be declared malaria-free by 2030.
“These four provinces are Palawan, Sulu, Occidental Mindoro, and Sultan Kudarat,” Health Secretary Francisco T. Duque III said, adding that of the total 81 provinces in the country, 50 are already declared malaria-free, 27are now under elimination phase, and only four remain as having local transmission.
Of the total cases reported in the country, ninety-five percent (95%) were from six (6) municipalities in Southern Palawan and 5% from the rest of the country. In 2018, a total of 4,870 malaria cases and four deaths were reported.
By 2022, the DOH aims to reduce malaria incidence rate by 90%. To realize this goal, the strategies include early diagnosis and complete treatment, use of insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying of insecticide.
Malaria is contracted from a bite of an infective female Anopheles mosquito that breeds in rivers and lakes. It can also be transmitted by blood transfusion, and possibly mother to child before and or during birth.
The symptoms usually start approximately nine (9) to 14 days after the bite of an infective mosquito. However, in some types of malaria, the symptoms may appear one to several months after the infective mosquito bite. The symptoms include high fever, headache, chills and shivers, nausea and vomiting. In severe form, it may include severe vomiting and diarrhea, generalized convulsion, delirium and impaired consciousness, followed by coma and possibly death.
“Malaria is preventable,” Duque reminded. Key measures for malaria prevention are awareness of endemic areas, bite prevention through wearing of long sleeved clothes and using of insect repellants and mosquito nets (preferably insecticide-treated), and prophylactic treatment when travelling to endemic areas. If symptoms of malaria are observed, seek immediate medical consultation. # Source – www.doh.gov.ph

PHILHEALTH REMINDS PUBLIC FACILITIES TO REGISTER POINT OF SERVICE PATIENTS PROMPTLY
The Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) reminds all concerned health care institutions (HCIs) to register their patients assessed as financially incapable (FI) under the Point of Service (POS) program within 72 hours from assessment so that their claims will not be denied.
The reminder was issued in the light of observations and reports that there are HCIs registering their patients assessed as FI thru the POS beyond the 72 hour requirement or sometimes even a month after discharge.
The POS is a program provided in the Government Appropriations Act (GAA) for the current year, to cover all Filipinos under the National Health Insurance Program (NHIP), including the unregistered and inactive registered members especially those who are financially incapable.
Filipino citizens who will be covered under the POS Program, must be admitted in a ward type of accommodation and classified as financially incapable to pay his/her PhilHealth contribution according to the DOH classification on indigents. Members availing of this program shall be included in the PhilHealth membership database for possible inclusion in the list of indigent beneficiaries whose premiums are to be shouldered by the National Government.
PhilHealth offices nationwide are ready to process the PhilHealth Identification Number (PIN) of patients enrolled as POS-FI immediately upon receipt of requests from public HCIs. Hence, HCIs are therefore encouraged to promptly register their FI patients to avoid denial of claims due to delayed issuance of PIN. # Source - PHILHEALTH

PHILHEALTH TO INTRODUCE SPECIAL BENEFITS FOR PWDS
In response to the passage of Republic Act 11228 which provides for the mandatory PhilHealth coverage for all Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), state agency Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PhilHealth) said preparations for the law’s implementation is underway starting with the crafting of its implementing rules and regulations (IRR).
The new law which amends the Magna Carta for PWDs was signed into law by President Rodrigo R. Duterte on February 22, 2019 and took effect on March 19, 2019. It also mandates PhilHealth to develop exclusive packages that will address PWDs’ specific health and developmental needs.
“Long before the passage of RA 11228, PhilHealth has introduced in 2013 its special benefits for Mobility, Orthosis, Rehabilitation, Prosthesis Help or Z MORPH to assist our PWDs for the needed lower limb prostheses, expanding it in 2014 to include selected orthopedic implants such as total and partial hip prostheses, and implants for hip fixation, among others,” PhilHealth Acting President and CEO Dr. Roy B. Ferrer declared, adding that “in 2014 we further upped the ante for our PWDs with the inclusion of upper limb prostheses, orthoses and orthoprostheses, among others in 2014.”
The PhilHealth Chief said that in the latter part of 2018, they introduced Z benefits for children with mobility impairment, developmental disabilities, and visual and hearing impairments to start investing for the health of affected children who will be tomorrow’s leaders. He further said they intend to build on these existing benefits to expand their portfolio to all PWDs based on their unique health care needs.
The required premium contributions for PWDs shall be paid for by the national government from the proceeds of the restructured excise taxes on alcohol and tobacco; while employers of employed PWDs are responsible for half of their monthly premiums.
Ferrer clarified that full implementation of the law will follow as soon as the IRR is completed and the required premium contributions for PWDs are released by the National Government. “Since the enactment of the law came at a time when the 2019 national budget has long been completed for submission to the President for approval, the necessary funds for its implementation will require a supplemental budget to be approved by Congress,” he explained.
PhilHealth is actively consulting with concerned stakeholders in crafting the IRR. The public can expect the introduction of special benefits for PWDs in due time as provided for in the law.
On another note, PhilHealth maintained that aside from inpatient care, its outpatient benefit (OPB) package also covers free consultations and diagnostics and laboratories such as chest X-ray, lipid profile, complete blood count, urinalysis, fecalysis, sputum microscopy, fasting blood sugar, among others; including medicines for asthma, acute gastroenteritis, upper respiratory tract infection, pneumonia and urinary tract infection.
This is to correct several reports that the state agency has yet to introduce free check-ups and maintenance medicines for its members.
“Free consultations, laboratories and medicines for specific conditions have been available since 2012 and are being availed of by some 40 million members such as the indigents, sponsored members, Overseas Filipino Workers, Organized Group, DepEd teaching and non-teaching employees and their dependents through their local health centers. It is clearly not accurate for some quarters to claim that PhilHealth is not offering these services,” the CEO asserted.
“In 2018, we expanded the Primary Care Benefits (PCB) to include essential services and outpatient medicines for diabetes and hypertension for employed members, senior citizens and lifetime members and their qualified dependents whose combined numbers total to 42.6 million beneficiaries,” Dr. Ferrer ended. # Source - PHILHEALTH

DILG HINIHIKAYAT ANG MGA PINUNO NG PAMAHALAANG LOKAL NA SUPORTAHAN ANG OPLAN BALIK ESKWELA
Ilang araw bago magbukas ang klase, hinihikayat ng Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) ang mga pinuno ng pamahalaang lokal na tulungan ang Department of Education (DepEd) sa pagtitiyak na ang pagsisimula ng klase ay magiging maayos kaugnay ng programang Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE).
"Inaasahang makikipagtulungan ang mga pinuno ng pamahalaang lokal sa DepEd upang tiyakin na ang pagbubukas ng klase ay magiging maayos nang maging mas inspirado ang mga mag-aaral at guro sa kanilang paglalakbay tungo sa bagong kaalaman," ani DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año.
Upang tiyakin ang kaligtasan ng mga mag-aaral papunta at paalis ng paaralan, hinihikayat din ni Año ang mga lokal na pulis at mga force multiplier sa mga barangay na magbantay malapit sa mga gate ng paaralan at sa mga daan patungo dito.
"Dapat maging alerto ang kapulisan at mga barangay tanod para bantayan at protektahan ang mga istudyante laban sa mga kriminal at mga mapagsamantala,” aniya.
Ang OBE, na isasagawa mula Mayo 27 hanggang Hunyo 7, 2019, ay ang taunang programa ng DepEd upang himukin ang mga ahensiya, organisasyon at iba pang stakeholders na makiisa sa paghahanda para sa paparating na pagbubukas ng klase. Hangad nito na pagtuunan ng pansin ang mga suliranin, katanungan, at iba pang hinaing na kalimitang nararanasan ng publiko sa pagsisimula ng klase at tiyaking ang mga mag-aaral ay maayos na naipalista at makapapasok sa unang araw ng klase sa Hunyo 3, 2019.
Sa pamamagitan ng ng DILG Memorandum Circular 2019 - 78, hinihikayat din ng DILG Secretary ang mga pinuno ng mga pamahalaang lokal na pulungin ang kanilang Peace and Order Councils (POC), Local Council for the Protection of Children (LCPC), at Local Disaster Risk Reduction Management Council (LDRRMC) bilang paghahanda sa pagbubukas ng klase.
"Bukod sa kaalaman na kanilang makukuha, pinakamahalaga pa din ang kaligtasan ng mga mag-aaral kaya naman ang pakikipagtulungan ng POC, LCPC, at LDRRMC sa pangunguna ng mga LCE ay lubhang napakahalaga," paliwanag ni Año.
Hinihimok din ang mga pinuno ng pamahalaang lokal na tumulong sa pagbibigay ng impormasyon at quick response, imobilisa ang barangay upang linisin o markahan ang mga daan patungo sa mga paaralan, at tulungan ang DepEd sa paghahanda ng mga pasilidad sa paaralan.
Samantala, tiniyak naman ng Philippine National Police (PNP) na may presensya ng mga pulis at security patrols sa mga paaralan at sakayan; pagpapakalat ng mga road safety marshal; at information drive sa pamamagitan ng quad media at pamimigay ng safety tips at anti-criminality leaflets.
"Handa ang PNP na tumulong sa OBE. Maglalagay kami ng Police Assistance Desks sa mga paaralan at mga campus sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa mga opisyal ng mga paaralan, Parents-Teachers Association, at security force managers, mga pamahalaang lokal at barangay force multiplier, bukod pa sa iba," ani PNP Spokesperson Police Colonel Bernard Banac.
Ioorganisa din ng PNP ang mga Non-Government Organizations at Civilian Volunteer Organizations para sa karagdagang seguridad, pagtulong sa pag-traffic, at iba pang serbisyo para sa kaligtasan ng publiko sa pakikipag-ugnayan sa DepEd at mga pamahalaang lokal.

DEPED GEARS UP FOR OPENING OF CLASSES WITH 27.8M LEARNERS
Secretary Leonor Magtolis Briones on Wednesday underscored the Department of Education’s (DepEd) efforts to ensure the readiness of almost 62,000 schools—47,205 of which are public—that will accommodate the projected 27.8 million learners in the coming school year.
“Given the continuously increasing population of our schoolchildren and the increasing number of challenges that we have to hurdle, we are also increasing and expanding our existing efforts to deliver quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic education,” Briones stated during the Weekly Economic Press Briefing held in Malacañang.
From a total of 27,018,509, the number of learners is expected to rise to 27,817,737—a 2.95% growth rate from the previous school year.
Gearing up
Briones also shared the Department’s programs, projects, and activities in preparation for the opening of classes on June 3 which include the early registration held from January 26 to February 22. Through child mapping and community advocacies carried out by schools, approximately five million new entrants from Kindergarten and Grades 1, 7, and 11 were able to register early.
The Brigada Eskwela, which kicked off nationwide on May 20, gathered learners, parents, teachers, community members, partners from the public and private sector, and other stakeholders to contribute their time, effort, and resources to ensure that the schools are safe and conducive to learning come the opening of classes. The national schools maintenance program is scheduled until May 25.
“We are grateful for the massive outpouring of love and support to our public schools,” Briones relayed, citing the consistent increase in resources generated and volunteers mobilized by the program.
Finally, Oplan Balik Eskwela shall provide a venue at the Central, Regional, and Division Offices to address the problems and concerns encountered by the public at the start of the school year. The Public Assistance and Command Center at the Central Office shall operate from May 27 to June 7.
From access to quality
Briones further stated that the Department is intent to address the remaining gaps in terms of access to education. As such, it shall continue to expand and intensify its Alternative Learning System (ALS)—a second chance education program for out-of-school youth and adults.
DepEd shall also continue its programs such as the school-based feeding and last mile schools, and establish schools in barangays without elementary schools, and in areas with limited secondary schools.

“Given the continuously increasing population of our schoolchildren and the increasing number of challenges that we have to hurdle, we are also increasing and expanding our existing efforts to deliver quality, accessible, relevant, and liberating basic education,” Briones stated during the Weekly Economic Press Briefing held in Malacañang.
From a total of 27,018,509, the number of learners is expected to rise to 27,817,737—a 2.95% growth rate from the previous school year.
Gearing up
Briones also shared the Department’s programs, projects, and activities in preparation for the opening of classes on June 3 which include the early registration held from January 26 to February 22. Through child mapping and community advocacies carried out by schools, approximately five million new entrants from Kindergarten and Grades 1, 7, and 11 were able to register early.
The Brigada Eskwela, which kicked off nationwide on May 20, gathered learners, parents, teachers, community members, partners from the public and private sector, and other stakeholders to contribute their time, effort, and resources to ensure that the schools are safe and conducive to learning come the opening of classes. The national schools maintenance program is scheduled until May 25.
“We are grateful for the massive outpouring of love and support to our public schools,” Briones relayed, citing the consistent increase in resources generated and volunteers mobilized by the program.
Finally, Oplan Balik Eskwela shall provide a venue at the Central, Regional, and Division Offices to address the problems and concerns encountered by the public at the start of the school year. The Public Assistance and Command Center at the Central Office shall operate from May 27 to June 7.
From access to quality
Briones further stated that the Department is intent to address the remaining gaps in terms of access to education. As such, it shall continue to expand and intensify its Alternative Learning System (ALS)—a second chance education program for out-of-school youth and adults.
DepEd shall also continue its programs such as the school-based feeding and last mile schools, and establish schools in barangays without elementary schools, and in areas with limited secondary schools.
In terms of quality, DepEd shall conduct a review of the curriculum; upgrade the professional development of teachers and school leaders through the transformation of the National Educators Academy of the Philippines (NEAP); institutionalize Government-Industry-Education (GIE) sector coordination and partnerships; and continuously improve the teaching-learning environment.

WORLD NO TOBACCO DAY
Every year, on 31 May, the World Health Organization (WHO) and global partners celebrate World No Tobacco Day (WNTD). The annual campaign is an opportunity to raise awareness on the harmful and deadly effects of tobacco use and second-hand smoke exposure, and to discourage the use of tobacco in any form.
The focus of World No Tobacco Day 2019 is on "tobacco and lung health." The campaign will increase awareness on:
the negative impact that tobacco has on people’s lung health, from cancer to chronic respiratory disease,
the fundamental role lungs play for the health and well-being of all people.
The campaign also serves as a call to action, advocating for effective policies to reduce tobacco consumption and engaging stakeholders across multiple sectors in the fight for tobacco control. # Source:https://www.who.int/news-room/events/detail/2019/05/31/default-calendar/world-no-tobacco-day

DILG, DOF PUSH FOR REASONABLE LGU REGULATORY FEES AND CHARGES
The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Finance have joined hands to ensure that local government units (LGUs) will be more business-friendly with the release of guidelines calling for the adoption of reasonable regulatory fees and charges for their services.
The two agencies recently signed a joint memorandum circular to guide LGUs in setting reasonable fees and charges in accordance with the provisions of Republic Act 7160 or the Local Government Code of 1991 and RA 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business Law.
DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año says that with the issuance of the JMC, LGUs will be effectively guided on how to adjust and revise their fees and charges “at just and reasonable rates sufficient to cover the cost of services rendered.”
"High rates discourage investors while low rates could compromise the revenue generation of the LGUs. With this JMC, we are able to set the standard for the appropriate rates for the fees and charges to be imposed by the LGUs,” he says.
“We encourage all LGUs to rationalize their imposed fees and charges in accordance with this guideline, considering that the identified fees and charges must be reasonable to all concerned parties. Defiant LGUs who will impose additional fees and charges not reflected in their Citizen's Charters will be sanctioned," he adds.
Among the common and allowable fees and charges collected by LGUs are the following: business permit/mayor’s permit fee; barangay clearance; permit to extract sand, gravel and other quarry resources; fees for sealing and licensing of weights and measures; fishery rentals, fees and charges; fees on commercial breeding of fighting cocks, cockfighting and cockpit; fees of places of recreation which charge admission fees; fees on billboards, signboards, neon signs and outdoor advertisements; toll fees and charges; public utility charges; other fees and charges strictly in accordance with Section 186 of the Lcoal Government Code (LGC).
Under the JMC, an oversight committee on the revision of the fees and charges shall be created at the LGU level 90 calendar days after the promulgation of the JMC composed mainly of the LCEs, local treasurer, budget officer, planning and development coordinator, local accountant, among others.
The committee will take charge of the following: ensure that the guiding principles of the LGC and the JMC are followed; review the rationale of the imposed fees and user charges and the methodology for the determination of the fee schedule or rates; compute appropriate rates to recover the cost based on gathered data; and submit the recommended proposed local revenue ordinance to the LCE and the local Sanggunian.
Subsequent to the adjustment of the rate of imposition, Año says that such revision shall be as much as possible be uniform with similar or comparable services and functions offered by LGUs.
The rates of fees and charges levied by LGUs should also be adjusted at reasonable rates sufficient to recover the direct fixed cost and variable costs of rendering services, he says.
Variable costs include personnel salaries & wages, costs of supplies & materials, and transportation & travel expenses, among others. On the other hand, fixed cost are those which consist of a proportionate share in the overhead expenses comprising depreciation rates of equipment and utilities used, including the cost of water, electricity, telecommunication and other regular services rendered to the applicants.
“The revised rates shall be imposed through the issuance of an appropriate ordinance and compliance to all legal requirements including the conduct of a public hearing and publications,” he says.
Section 130 of the LGC states that the exercise of the taxing and other revenue-raising powers of LGUs shall be "…uniform in each local government unit; equitable and based as far as practicable on the taxpayer's ability to pay, levied and collected only for public purposes, not be unjust, excessive, oppressive, or confiscatory, and not be contrary to law, public policy, national economic policy, or in the restraint of trade.”# Source – www.dilg.gov.ph

DEPED READIES FOR OPENING OF CLASSES; LAUNCHES OPLAN BALIK ESKWELA
In line with its efforts to ensure the smooth opening of classes for School Year (SY) 2019-2020, the Department of Education (DepEd) announced the conduct of this year’s “Brigada Eskwela” and the launching of the national Oplan Balik Eskwela (OBE).
For this year, DepEd said the “Brigada Eskwela” or the annual school maintenance activity is scheduled from May 20 to 25. With theme, “Matatag na Bayan para sa Maunlad na Paaralan,” this year’s “Brigada Eskwela” aims to “bring together all education stakeholders to participate and contribute their time, effort, and resources to prepare public schools for the opening of classes.”
Meanwhile, Education Secretary Leonor Briones in DepEd Memorandum No. 029 series of 2019, announced that the national OBE will run from May 27 to June 7. The OBE is an annual initiative to “engage agencies, organizations, and all other stakeholders in preparation for the opening of the school year.”
Strengthening ‘Brigada’
The DepEd, through its External Partnerships Service (EPS), recently led a convergence meeting with national government agencies (NGAs) and government-owned and controlled corporations (GOCCs) to strengthen partnerships for “Brigada Eskwela.”
Based on the data from EPS, the “Brigada Eskwela” in 2018 generated a grand total of P6,447,685,413.61 worth of resources and volunteer man hours, and mobilized a total 22,647,754 volunteers.
DepEd Undersecretary for Legislative Affairs, External Partnerships, and Project Management Service Tonisito M.C. Umali, Esq. explained that the department would like to “change” the mindset of its local officials about the program. “We’re now trying to equip all of our school officials from the various local levels of governance—from the school, district, schools division, region, and up to the central office—about partnership,” he said, as he further emphasized “everyone’s role in the provision of quality education for all.”
Given this, DepEd called on volunteer entities to donate in kind such as emergency kits for schools, teachers, and first aid, as well as health and hygiene kits and bags for learners.
Also known as the National Schools Maintenance Week, the “Brigada Eskwela” enjoins the agency’s partners to help prepare public schools for the opening of classes. Aside from usual clean-up and maintenance activities, DepEd’s partners are also urged to conduct learning sessions on public safety and fire or earthquake drill, sanitation and proper hygiene, health and wellness, food storage and handling, parenting, bullying awareness and prevention, anti-illegal drug campaign, financial literacy and personal financial management, and reading and writing sessions during the “Brigada” week.
DepEd’s partners are also encouraged to support its programs on medical and dental check-up, good grooming and haircut, “Gulayan sa Paaralan,” livelihood opportunities for learners and parents-teachers association (PTA), and provision of school supplies and uniforms, and learning and teaching materials – among others.
Smooth school opening
Aside from the “Brigada,” DepEd is also preparing for the launch of this year’s OBE. “The OBE is part of the Department’s efforts to ensure that learners are already properly enrolled and able to attend school by the first day of classes,” Briones said in the memo dated March 13, 2019. The OBE also aims to “address the problems, queries and other concerns commonly encountered by the public at the start of the school year.”
This year’s OBE will focus on four components including “Convergence,” “Command Conference,” “Communication” and “Client Assistance.” For OBE’s “Convergence” component, Briones said that DepEd shall coordinate with other government agencies involved in school opening matters to assemble the annual year’s OBE Inter-Agency Task Force (OBE-IATF). The meeting for the OBE-IATF shall be on May 8, 2019.
Meanwhile, a “Command Conference” is also scheduled on May 27, 2019 among DepEd officials, partner agencies from the public and private sector, media and other stakeholders.
Briones added that an OBE Public Assistance Command Center (PACC) shall also be set up at the DepEd Central, Regional, and Schools Division Offices. It will “serve as the information and complaints processing and routing mechanism.” The OBE-PACC shall be set up on May 25, 2019 at Bulwagan ng Karunungan at DepEd Central Office in Pasig City. To help ensure the success of this project, Briones directed all involved DepEd offices/units “to actively participate and assign representative/s to the OBE-PACC.”
This year’s national OBE shall be under the general supervision of DepEd Undersecretary for Planning and Field Operations Jesus L. R. Mateo and Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs and Alternative Learning System, Program and Task Force G.H. Ambat as co-chairs. # Source – www.deped.gov.ph

DILG TO LGUS: ENSURE SMOOTH TRANSITION OF POWERS TO NEWLY-ELECTED OFFICIALS, NO MORE GRUDGES AND BITTERNESS
With the election of new faces in key positions in local governments, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) reiterates its call to local government units (LGUs) to ensure a smooth and orderly transition of powers and responsibilities to the newly-elected officials in the recently-concluded May 13 midterm polls.
“We thank the Filipino people for exercising their right to vote and congratulate the newly elected officials for their victory. Now is the time to rise above party politics and interests and prepare for a smooth turnover of powers in LGUs to ensure continuity in local governance,” says DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año.
Año says winners and losers in the recent polls should take the higher ground and let go of political grudges and bitterness for the sake of the people whom they have sworn to serve.
“The Filipino people have spoken and now is the time to move on. A greater agenda awaits and that is the task of nation-building. Kaya magkaisa na tayong lahat at magtulong-tulong para sa kapakanan ng ating mga lokalidad,” he says.
The DILG has earlier issued Memorandum Circular No. 2019-39 which requires the creation of Local Governance Transition Teams to be chaired by the local chief executive (LCE) with the vice-chair to be elected from among the members by simple majority vote.
The tasks of the transition team include conduct of an inventory of LGU properties, securing of all official documents and records of LGU transactions, and briefing on the key challenges for the incoming set of officials for a seamless leadership and management transition.
The members of the team are department heads of the local government unit (LGU) and a DILG representative such as DILG Provincial Director in case of provincial government, DILG City Director in case of city government, or DILG Municipal Local Government Operations Officer in case of municipal government. There should also be one representative from a civil society organization or people's organization.
“Now that the elections are over, let us unite and support our local leaders as we all share the same vision of peace and progress for our localities,” says Año.
The DILG Chief also says the Department through the Local Government Academy (LGA) is ready to train the newly-elected and reelected local officials through its Newly-Elected Officials (NEO) program to enable them to effectively discharge their duties and responsibilities and define their development roadmaps.
“We assure you of the DILG’s guidance and assistance to help the new local officials who have been given a fresh mandate by the people become good local government managers,” he says. # Source – www.dilg.gov.ph

DISPLAY OF NATIONAL TRANSITION FLAGS
On March 6, 1965, Presidential Proclamation No. 374 was issued declaring May 28 as National Flag Day to commemorate the date the national emblem was first unfurled after the Philippine Revolutionary Army defeated the Spanish forces in the Battle at Alapan, Imus, Cavite in 1898.

DILG READY TO TRAIN OVER 17K LOCAL OFFICIALS ON GOOD GOVERNANCE
With the elections soon coming to a close, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) is now ready to train a total of 17,754 newly-elected and reelected local government officials on how to become effective local government leaders “who will steer their respective localities to greater heights of peace and development.”
DILG Undersecretary and Spokesperson Jonathan Malaya said that the Department through its training arm, the Local Government Academy (LGA), will soon roll-out the Newly-Elected Officials (NEO) Program for both neophytes and even the veterans who have been a given a fresh mandate by the people to serve for the next three years.
“Whether you are a newbie or veteran in the local government arena, the DILG under the leadership of Secretary Eduardo Año is prepared to equip you with the necessary knowledge and skills in governance to enable you to deal with the critical challenges of your office,” said Malaya.
“We have some very young first-term City Mayors like 29-year old Mayor-elect Vico Sotto of Pasig City and 22-year old Mayor-elect Arth Bryan Celeste of Alaminos City, among others. I know they have lots of plans for their constituents. The DILG is here to train and guide them so that they can better serve the people,” he said.
A total of 17,754 local officials were elected in the recent May 13 national and local midterm elections comprised of 81 governors, 81 vice-governors, 780 provincial board members, 145 city mayors, 145 city vice-mayors, 1,628 city councilors, 1,489 municipal mayors, 1,489 municipal vice-mayors, and 11,916 municipal councilors nationwide.
The NEO program is a regular program of the DILG to help newly-elected local officials to effectively discharge their duties and responsibilities and define their development roadmap.
“We are just waiting for the proclamation of winners in all provinces, cities, and municipalities before we will officially commence the NEO program within this month,” he said.
The DILG Spokersperson says that the new set of local leaders will also undergo series of capacity building trainings for them to align their local agenda with the national priority thrusts of the Duterte administration including the fight against illegal drugs, criminality, corruption, violent extremism as well as the federalism advocacy drive.
“With the elections now behind us, we assure you of the DILG’s commitment to guide both the re-elected and first time local officials on how they can best serve their constituents,” he said.
Five-component training package
Malaya explained that the NEO program has five components which will be either on-site training, webinar series, or online coaching sessions.
Component 1 on ensuring smooth transition involves the creation of transition teams, turn-over ceremony, and LGU and NEO competency profiling. Component 2 on jumpstarting local governance covers orientation for NEOs, developing executive-legislative relations, and LGU guide to action.
Meanwhile, Component 3 on creating the roadmap for LGU development tackles cohesive LGU planning and alliance building. Component 4 on sharpening the competencies of LGU officials and staff encompasses specialized local governance modules, mold the NEOs, executive coaching sessions, and competency enhancement for elected officials.
Finally, component 5 on LGU performance management focuses on LGU performance assessment. “The DILG will ensure that local officials, as partners of the national government in nation-building, will be ably equipped with the right knowledge and skills to make them ready to manage the affairs of their respective LGUs and effectively address the needs of their constituents,” he said. # Source – www.dilg.gov.ph

The tasks of the transition team include conduct of an inventory of LGU properties, securing of all official documents and records of LGU transactions, and briefing on the key challenges for the incoming set of officials for a seamless leadership and management transition.
The members of the team are department heads of the local government unit (LGU) and a DILG representative such as DILG Provincial Director in case of provincial government, DILG City Director in case of city government, or DILG Municipal Local Government Operations Officer in case of municipal government. There should also be one representative from a civil society organization or people's organization.
“Now that the elections are over, let us unite and support our local leaders as we all share the same vision of peace and progress for our localities,” says Año.
The DILG Chief also says the Department through the Local Government Academy (LGA) is ready to train the newly-elected and reelected local officials through its Newly-Elected Officials (NEO) program to enable them to effectively discharge their duties and responsibilities and define their development roadmaps.

“We thank the Filipino people for exercising their right to vote and congratulate the newly elected officials for their victory. Now is the time to rise above party politics and interests and prepare for a smooth turnover of powers in LGUs to ensure continuity in local governance,” says DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Año.
Año says winners and losers in the recent polls should take the higher ground and let go of political grudges and bitterness for the sake of the people whom they have sworn to serve.
