Newly elected barangay officials in this city have started their training/orientation on governance under the Department of the Interior and Local Government.
The close to 2,000 trainees include Sangguniang Kabataan chairpersons from 180 barangays.
They will be trained by batch. In a three-day training/orientation, they will be taught on the following, among others:
* barangay legislation
* functions of the Peace and Order Council and the Anti-Drug Abuse Council
* procurement
* Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees
* planning
* budgeting
The first batch including 140 trainees were trained from Wednesday to Friday last week, according to DILG-Iloilo City director Ferdinand Panes.
Panes said they hope to cover all 15 batches of trainees by October.
“We could not just give them advice piecemeal,” the DILG official said of the importance of the training.
The DILG-Iloilo City coordinated with the Liga ng mga Barangay and the Iloilo City government in coming up with the training design based on a module from the DILG regional office.
Meanwhile Panes warned barangay officials about unauthorized organizations offering trainings on legislation.
There was one that coordinated with the DILG central office but did not wait for the guidelines before conducting the training, Panes said without naming the organization.
Panes warned about faulty information that may be discussed during such trainings. “Only accredited institutions are allowed to conduct trainings,” he stressed. (With PNA)
