Polanco to replicate Sarangani’s best practices

 

ALABEL, Sarangani (December 14, 2022) – The Polanco Municipal Government Employees’ Association (PMGEA) visited Sarangani on December 14 to benchmark with the best practices of the Sarangani Provincial Employees’ Union (SPEU).

The PMGEA came all the way from the Municipality of Polanco, Province of Zamboanga del Norte, aimed at learning more of Sarangani’s best practices in governance and public service, and in bringing special welfare and other benefits to the employees.

“We really desire to visit Sarangani and learn from you, and ultimately replicate the best practices you are well-known for, benefitting the very workforce that spells the difference in governance and public service,” said PMGEA President Alfred Mel Dagaylo-an.

During their visit, the PMGEA officers were accompanied by their Vice Mayor Alfredo Bait-it, Sangguniang Bayan members Jennifer Rodrigo, Conceso Regencia Jr., Romer Ladera, Charito Ombalino, Cristoven Insoy, and PMGEA Consultant Lorimer Olario.

SPEU President Wilson Lapiz, along with the rest of the SPEU officers, warmly welcomed the guests from Zamboanga and presented some of the union’s successful programs.

The union’s healthcare program for its members, the availed special support for active union members, the Covid-19 financial assistance, rice subsidy, the Collective Negotiation Agreement Incentive (CNAI), and the newly-established SPEU building, were just some of the best programs presented by the union to the PMGEA.

Vice Governor Elmer De Peralta told the guests that Sarangani’s “key” to achieving its best practices is to establish “a good relationship between the administration and its people.”

“Whatever programs and projects ang gusto ng association ninyo sa Polanco, hindi imposible ‘pag mayroon tayong magandang relasyon sa ating mga local government units,” the vice governor told the guests.

On behalf of Governor Rogelio D. Pacquiao, Provincial Administrator Atty. Ryan Jay Ramos extended the governor’s warm welcome to the guests from Zamboanga del Norte.

After the benchmarking program held at the Conference Room of the JLC Bldg., the SPEU officers also toured the guests to some of the tourist destinations in Sarangani. (Jori Mae R. Samillano & photos by Jake T. Narte /SARANGANI PROVINCIAL INFORMATION OFFICE)
