"Let us all maintain our passion for the things that we do. We need to see the relevance of our actions in relation to empowering our local government units and the impact it makes in our communities because what we do affects the lives of our people."
REGIONAL DIRECTOR'S CORNER Engr. Marlo L. Iringan
With the Department’s relentless implementation of its key programs, projects and activities (PPAs), the first quarter started strong and steady. On top of the continuing implementation of our programs, we were able to manage our focus on the compliance to the ISO 9001:2015 certification requirements. Such has been a testament to our earnest desire to improve our systems and processes for a more effective and efficient delivery of services to our clienteles. It is only fitting to give credit to the entire team for a job well done.
While awaiting for the passage of the General Appropriations Act which would have given the green light for the implementation of the 2019 priority PPAs, we still provided prerogative on the deliverables which we were not able accomplish for the last quarter of 2018. Anent to this, we were able to assist our local government units (LGUs) to complete the requirements for the release of funds for our Assistance to Municipalities (AM) for 2019, particularly the municipalities that have not yet complied with the following: Good Financial Housekeeping (Full Disclosure Policy); functionality of the local development council; and public financial management, which we encourage our LGUs to work hand-in-hand with our Provincial Offices for assistance in order to speed up the accomplishment of the needed documentary requirements. Futhermore, we are rigorously monitoring the timely completion of our locally funded projects (infrastructure) to ensure that specifications are
met in accordance to the needed standards, so that the Cordillerans will immediately benefit from them. These and much, much more, DILG CAR was able to do through constant dialogue and consultation with the local government together with the unceasing guidance and encouragement from our Field Operating Units (FOUs). As we brace ourselves to the challenges we encounter as public servants, I enjoin each and everyone to be steadfast in providing quality service to the community. Let us all maintain our passion for the things that we do. We need to see the relevance of our actions in relation to empowering our local government units and the impact it makes in our communities because what we do affects the lives of our people. #

LEGAL OPINION Proper application and interpretation of the THREE CONSECUTIVE TERM LIMIT RULE of elective officials to hold the same position pursuant to Sec. 43b of RA 7160 .
Section 43(b) of RA 7160 “No elective officials shall serve for more than three (3) consecutive terms in the same position. Voluntary renunciation of the office for any length of time shall not be considered as interruption in the community service for the full term which the elective officials concerned was elected.” - FACTS• May 2001 elections - Official was first elected as Mayor and served until end of term without interruption. • May 2004 – Official ran again as Mayor but was not proclaimed as winner. The official filed an election protest and was declared as winner in November 2005. • December 15, 2005 – official was unseated from office because protestee was able to secure a TRO/Writ of Preliminary Injunction from COMELEC. • Upon finality of decision, official was declared as the lawful Mayor and occupied the office from May 9, 2006 until expiration of said term. • May 2007 – official was re-elected as Mayor.
WHETHER OR NOT THE CONCERNED OFFICIAL, ASSUMING THAT HE WILL AGAIN SERVE IN FULL HIS CURRENT TERM IN OFFICE, IS STILL QUALIFIED TO RUN IN THE FORTHCOMING MAY 2010 ELECTIONS?
! S E Y
- EXPLANATIONBORJA vs. COMELEC (G.R. No. 133495, September 3, 1998, 2008) For Section 43(b) to apply, two (2) elements must concur: • The local elective official concerned must have been duly elected to that office; and, • Said local official must have fully served each term for the same office for three consecutive terms.
Applying this now to your case, we are in the view that your SECOND TERM shall NOT BE COUNTED as FULL TERM considering that you did not fully serve the same. Thus, the second element as mentioned in the immediately preceding paragraph is not present. It bears to note that in your supposed second term, you only assumed on May 9, 2006 until the expi-
ration of the said term at noon of June 30, 2007. Hence the continuity of your service for your supposed second term was interrupted. In this connection, please note that Section 43(b) of the Code mentioned “shall SERVE for more than three (3) consecutive terms in the same position.” Consecutive means no interruption.

LUBO-ONG SUSPENSION FOOTBRIDGE INSTALLED IT TAKES TWO HOURS FROM BARANGAY BOKIAWAN TO BARANGAY LUBO-ONG because there are no other means of transportation to reach the place but through walking along tiny dikes of rice fields with caution to avoid accident. According to Punong Barangay Paul Duging, Barangay Lubo-ong has the least number of population among the 9 barangays which has 978 people and 179 households. The Barangay Council was very glad that their barangay is one of the beneficiaries of the Assistance to Municipalities (AM) program of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). The construction of the Lubo-ong suspension footbridge was listed in the Annual Investment Plan (AIP) 2018 of the Barangay. Punong Barangay Duging said, the project is very important to them because it connects the residents to Sitio Balat, Mt. Polis and Banaue. It is also the walkway of the children from the identified sitios going to Poblacion wherein the Luboong Elementary School is located. Due to the absence of access to the other barrios, enrollees in school decreased because of
the problem of the walkway. Some parents already transferred their children in Banaue. The project was completed in February 18, 2019. Its project facilitation and implementation were through the initiatives of the municipal and barangay governments and DILG-Ifugao.The laborers of the project were all from Barangay Lubo-ong. Their relentless efforts during the project construction are not that easy especially in the hauling of materials. The elders helped, too, through bayahinan. Residents are very grateful to DILG through the AM project. According to PB Duging, promises were given to the community to install a footbridge in their sitio after three typhoons wreaked havoc but nothing was provided. The suspesion bridge was able to come to reality through the Agency. The Assistance to Municipalities is designed to address the rising public expectations regarding the delivery of services by providing the local government units (LGUs) with financial subsidy to fully realize their devolved service delivery functions. These programs are funded under the Local Government Support Fund. (LGSF). #

EASE OF DOING BUSINESS Republic Act No. 11032 also known as the Ease of Doing Business (EODB) law, is expected to minimize the number of complaints on delayed government transactions. Through RA 11032, the ease of doing business will now be simpler as a result of more improved systems and procedures of both national and local government services. The law specifically aims to reduce processing time, cut bureaucratic red tape, and also eliminate corrupt practices. PROCESSING TIME OF TRANSACTION IN WORKING DAYS

The law covers business-related transactions (and other transactions specified by the Act) from all government offices and agencies including LGUs, government-owned or controlled corporations and other government instrumentalities, whether located in the Philippines or abroad. This law is in line with the administration’s commitment to increase competitiveness and ease of doing business. It also requires all local government units to devise a unified business application form for the issuance of business permits, clearance, and other types of authorizations, as well as set-up a one-stop-shop to facilitate all business transactions.
S A L I E N T
BUSINESS ONE-STOP SHOP (BOSS)
–To put up a business, one needs only to visit one facility. The law orders local government units to put up a “one-stop-shop” or a facility that puts zoning office, business permit and licensing office, the Bureau of Fire Protection, and treasury office in one location. LGUs are also required to set up the one-stop business facilitation services and use online unified business application forms.
AUTOMATED ELECTRONIC SYSTEM – local government units are also mandated to automate their business permit and licensing systems. They should also put up an electronic business one-stopshop within 3 years of the law’s enactment.
ZERO-CONTACT POLICY – A new feature is the provision in the law that states that, save for the “preliminary assessment” of the business application and submitted requirements, “no government officer or employee shall have any contact, in any manner, unless strictly necessary with any applicant or requesting party concerning an application or request.” The provision is designed to eliminate corruption in agencies that process business applications.
