Indicate whether or not the accomplishments are part of the nominee’s regular functions/mandated or the product of his/her/their own initiative. If part of nominee’s regular duties or mandated, justify why the accomplishments are considered exemplary or extraordinary) For Presidential Lingkod Bayan Category: What was the impact of the extraordinary contribution to national public interest? For CSC Pagasa Category: What was the impact of the Outstanding contribution to more than one department of the government?
A Resolution filed by the nominee to carve out 1,000 hectares of land from mining areas to be used as Government Center has triggered the initial development of 403 hectares now on its final stage of Complete Staff Work (CSW) to be signed as Executive Order by President Rodrigo Roa Duterte to amend the Presidential Proclamation No. 395 of the Commonwealth Government signed by President Manuel L. Quezon in 1939. The resolution has addressed the problems of planning. relocation, expansion and development of the new province. PDI being a new province has many national line agencies to be situated and provincial offices to be properly in-placed, thus the need for areas to establish these development is a primordial concern. Dinagat Islands being a mineral reservation is covered with Mineral Production Sharing Agreement (MPSA) issued to largescale mining companies, thus to carve 1,000 hectares of land would surely affect mining companies which spent millions of pesos before being awarded MPSA. The nominee being a mining executive himself used his technical knowledge and expertise to elucidate solutions so that the project will push through even with negations from some affected sector. The action of the nominee as public official exemplified adherence to the highest standards of exemplary conduct and ethical behavior his constant defense on the cause of the provincial government and its people.
A Resolution Delineating all the Tourist Destinations in PDI from Mineral Reservation and converting them to be classified as Alienable and Disposable (A and D) to encourage tourism investment and development. The legislative efforts of the nominee to delineate tourism destination from mineral reservation will solve the problem of the slow-paced tourism development due to uncertainty of return of investment of investors because most of the tourism destinations in PDI are within the mineral reservation areas, lands that cannot be titled. A classic example of this is the 101 hectares of Bonsai Forest in Loreto. This one of a kind tourism destination can only be found in Loreto, PDI. We cannot find something like this anywhere in the world. Yet this is located within the mineral reservation inside the MPSA of a mining company. There are many similarly situated tourist destinations that ensembled the same problems around fifty (50) more or less of the total eighty-three (83) accounted tourist destination. The said piece of legislation will solve this problem and will bolster tourism development in PDI. The said legislation is submitted to DENR and DOT for action.
Legislations to secure and protect Watershed Areas in PDI and sharing water rights with mining companies and or imposing unto them to waive their rights for and on behalf of the general public; The resolution authored by the nominee in barring AAM-Phil Natural Resources Exploration and Development to mine the watershed area of San Jose, PDI and legislation sponsored by him on getting back the control of the Del Pilar Dam from Philippine Nickel Corporation are two (2) legislations that showed the commitment to public interest of the nominee. The problem that AAM-Phil will mine the watershed of San Jose, PDI has been solved and mitigated. And the idea to source potable water in Del Pilar Dam became achievable because of the legislation of the nominee.
Before the nominee became a Board Member, the total AICS Provincial allocation or funds to help the poor and indigent was around P500,000 coming from the provincial coffer and the entitlement for cash advance was P20,000.00 weekly. The Provincial Social Welfare and Development (PSWDO) were tied up on this circumstance. In those times few only of our indigent and poor clients can avail AICS. Additional problems of the claimants were the lack of necessary documents due to misinformation or failure to understand instruction on the part of the clients. There were times in the past that cash assistance to indigent is not even enough to pay the transportation cost caused by delays and repetitive follow ups. The innovations and legislations of the nominee to assign staff to guide all indigent client from the start of the process of them asking help, the close coordination of the nominee and the government agencies and offices involve in AICS to simplify the protocols has made government truly reachable by the poor and indigents. Today, in the Provincial Government we have 3M Annual Allocation for AICS and Cash Advance up to 100,000.00 per week not to mention the seemingly inexhaustible assistance from the national government that are easily reachable by poor Dinagatnons through the efforts made the nominee and the government. These sincere initiatives and responsiveness to the public of the nominee beyond his regular call of duty is truly emulating and extraordinary. His simplicity and dedication to bring the government service right at poor patients’ hospital beds, in their houses and even in their death beds and graveyards is way beyond exemplary. He has not only helped their material needs but also consoled them and made them realized that truly the there is a government extending a hand to help.
The nominee authored the resolution requesting the Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) to give Certificate of Land Ownership (CLOA) farmer beneficiaries. Last October 09, 2019 a total of 1,067,5005 hectares of agricultural land were distributed to 766 farmers in the PDI. Not only that the nominee the facilitated the released of the CLOA for farmers but also guided them to register their titles to the Registry of Deeds for records and protection purposes. This is away beyond the usual kind of innovative service.
The nominee requested the NHA and made representation to increase and release the funds for the Housing Project for the Typhoon Yolanda Victims. Upon the personal request of the nominee last January 18, 2020 NHA General Manager Marcelino P. Escalada, Jr. visited Loreto, PDI and allocated 245M pesos to finish the project. The victims of typhoon Yolanda will finally be given houses as promised to them by the government through the initiative of the nominee.
The nominee has authored several ordinances and resolutions relative to educational scholarship. He included in the Provincial Government College Scholarship Programs many innovations to help many more students avail the program. He also simplified the system in releasing the stipend of scholars to cut delays and release them at the school campus. He brought CHED Scholarship at the doorstep of every applicant so that many can avail in the program. As a result of the initiatives of the nominee, problems have been solved and many PDI students availed the CHED Scholarship Programs.
