The Department of Interior and Local Government as an oversight agency has been formulating new methods and has improved the ADM project monitoring system year after year. This is to guarantee that our citizens and LGUs will be able to access information and will provide the necessary feedback that would help the delivery of government services.
Last September 13-14, 2018, DILG Region 6, together with the SLGP-Project Management Office (SLGP-PMO), conducted the Regional Roll-out which doubled as the Training of Trainers for the Development LIVE (DevLIVE) Online Reporting and Citizen Feedback Platform.
The ADM Program Coordination Teams, Project Development and Management Units (PDMU), Cluster Heads, and ADM Focal Persons from the DILG Regional, and Provincial Offices attended the activity.
“The trainers will play vital role for the success of the DevLIVE Platform,” said DILG Assistant Regional Director Maria Calpiza Sardua as emphasis in her welcome address.
The DevLive Platform will provide a more available and efficient means of reporting system with the use of the internet. Through this, LGUs will find it easier to process and transfer relevant information related to the implementation of ADM projects.
Moreover, It will also maximize and strengthen citizen participation by provide venue to contribute to the monitoring process through feedback and real-time project status information with a simple log-in using their mobile devices. The citizen feedback will be available through an online form. This can be accessed in the DevLIVE Application that could be downloaded on a smartphone.
The application contains all the relevant information of the project, e.g. the total amount allocation, current financial and physical accomplishments, up-to-date image that the user could directly upload using their camera phones, etc.
The participants had the chance to be familiar with the system interface and user roles. This capacitated them to provide technical assistance and to conduct the same training to the LGU personnel who will be doing the online reporting and project monitoring. All LGUs will eventually be using the platform to run correspondence on all Assistance to Municipality projects. (DMO IV Daff B. Binobo, DILG6)

The Municipality of Mina (Iloilo Province), Bacolod City and the Province of Iloilo’s entries for the Awards for Excellence in Governance through Information and Communications Techonoloy (ICT) for Local Government Units or the eGov Awards were evaluated during the pre-qualifying table assessment on September 3, 2018 at the DILG Regional Office 6, Iloilo City.
“The eGov Awards is an annual search for best practices in local government units in utilizing ICT to effectively and efficiently deliver its public services directly to its constituents and to its business stakeholders,” said Roselyn Quintana, Chief, Local Government Capability and Development Division (LGCDD).
The Region 6 Pre-Qualifying Team composed of the focal persons from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Cluster Program conducted assessment, review, critiquing and examined the completeness and correctness of the documents for the category that the LGUs have selected to join namely Best in eGOV Customer Empowerment (G2C) Award, Best in eGOV Business Empowerment (G2B) Award, and Best in eGOV Government Inter-Operability (G2G) Award.

The team is also responsible to forward the qualified entries which are complete in form and substance to the National ICT Confederation of the Philippines (NICP). Only one winner shall be announced per category per level out of three levels – provincial, city and municipality.
DILG6 eGOV Focal Person Josephus Zotico Deysolong said that the winning LGUs shall receive non-monetary incentives from sponsors in the form of technical and expert mentorship, systems, and applications and a distinct Digital Cities Trophy and a special invitation to present the winning project during the 10th NICP Summit in November 2018 in Naga City.
The entries will be judged based on innovative management, impact, relevance, replication potential and sustainability. The winning LGUs will be asked to share their best practices to other LGUs. Their stories and pictures will also be featured in various publications and these LGUs may also be requested by NICP to speak in national and regional summits.
By drawing attention to the best practices in integrating ICT capabilities and solutions, the different sectors of society, government units are enabled in their roles as catalyst of change. It is hoped that with the eGOV awards strategy, the country will see the proliferation of revolutionary ICT initiatives that will support clearer, wider and faster access to information in our local government.

The recent experience of torrential rains along the southern part of Panay Island which caused five (5) casualties in the region became a wakeup call for the LGUs and NGAs involved in disaster preparedness and management in Region 6.
“Ang roles ng LGUs ay napakaimportante. The National Government Agencies (DILG, DOST, NEDA, DSWD and OCD) are working together to help you prepare your LGUs. Kahit walang typhoons, may damage pa rin ang calamities. Like last weekend, tuloy tuloy ang ulan, and it’s just a habagat pero may casualty sa Region 6. Hindi maiiwasan pero as much as possible we are aiming for zero casualty. You have to prepare your community. The purpose of this training is we want to help you to be prepared.”, said DILG R6 Regional Director Atty. Anthony C. Nuyda during the opening program of a training for trainers entitled “Strengthening the Provincial and Municipal Pool of Trainers under the project Towards a Disaster-Resilient Community: Building the Operational Readiness of Riparian and Inland LGUs in Western Visayas” on July 30, 2018 at District 21 Hotel, Iloilo City.
Five (5) Local Government Units (LGUs) in Region 6 were invited to attend the training for trainers which is a component of a special project funded by DILG and Local Government Academy (LGA) geared towards a Disaster Resilient Community: Building the Operational Readiness of Riparian and Inland Communities in Western Visayas.
According to Nuyda, with the help of LGA, DILG R6 was able to secure the funding for the series of trainings under this project to strengthen the LGUs operational readiness in facing disasters and climate change related hazards of LGUs belonging to the 4th-5th income class.
DILG R6 DRRM Focal Person Giselle Grace Gerial said that the target LGUs were chosen based on the following criteria: 4th-5th class municipality, non-Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG) passer, hazard prone, committed to complete the project and willing to provide counterpart fund for the continuation of the project to the remaining barangays.

The 4th-5th class income LGUs were prioritized for this project based on the results of a region-wide survey administered by the Office of the Civil Defense and DILG in 2013 on the capacities to cope with the possible negative impacts of the major hazards. The results of the survey showed that 4th to 5th class municipalities are highly vulnerable to the different hazards affecting the region.
In attendance during the training were the PDRRMO and PDRRM Staff of the provinces of Aklan, Antique, Capiz, Guimaras and Iloilo; Municipal Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Officers (MDRRMOs), MDRRMO Staff, Municipal Social Welfare and Development Officers (MSWDOs), and Municipal Health Officers (MHOs) coming from the municipalities of Malinao, Aklan; Barbaza, Antique; Cuartero, Capiz and Sibunag, Guimaras and San Dionisio, Iloilo.
Local Government Capability and Development Division (LGCDD) Chief Roselyn Quintana said that this training will cover the establishment of search and rescue team, systems for relief and operations, evacuation camp management and establishment of a feasible Early Warning System (EWS). All of these were discussed by a pool of speakers coming from DOST, Philippine Red Cross, DSWD, DILG and MDRRMO-San Jose, Antique.

“However on top of this, we will also be refreshing their skills in coaching so they will be adept to the current coaching trends. They will be the ones to coach their respective LGUs on disaster preparedness and management. We will be banking on content and skills.” added Quintana.
The 5 day training ended on August 3, 2018 and produced 46 well rounded trainers to guide their LGUs to be ready during disasters.
The series of trainings under this project were instrumental for DILG to know what exactly the LGU needs in terms of disaster risk reduction and management. This will form part of the manual which the DILG will draft before the year ends. (LGOO II Judy Mae T. Magdato, DILG6)
