Sueno to local execs: Support key DILG programs vs illegal drugs, corruption, criminality
Secretary
Ismael Sueno of the Department of the Interior and Local Government
(DILG) has rallied local chief executives to support the Department’s
programs that will help bring down illegal drugs, corruption and
criminality in the country.
Sueno issued the call to local
chief executives from Regions 1, 2, 3 and the Cordillera Administrative
Region (CAR) in the third of the series of dialogues called Sulong
Pilipinas held Monday at the Dusit Thani Hotel in Makati City.
Sulong Pilipinas served as a venue for all the key leaders in the
provinces to discuss and craft action plans to improve the peace and
order situation in their respective areas.
Participants
included provincial governors and vice-governors, city and municipal
mayors, provincial presidents of the Liga ng mga Barangay, and regional
and provincial directors of the DILG and the Philippine National Police
(PNP).
Among the programs the Secretary listed include the following: Launching of 911 as the new national emergency hotline; Streamlining of Business Permits and Licensing System, which aims to put an end to the traditional long lines when obtaining permits and licenses, as well as to cut the ‘red tape;’ Public-Private Partnership for the People (P4),
intended to bring infrastructure projects funded by private entities in
a tie up with government units not only in the National Capital Region
but also in other areas of the country particularly in the provinces; Seal of Good Local Governance, which is expected to increase LGU participation and awards by 2017; MASA-MASID or
the Mamamayang Ayaw sa Anomalya, Mamamayang Ayaw sa Iligal na Droga,
which aims to strengthen the government’s resolve to eradicate drugs,
corruption and criminality in three to six months.
Other programs like the Task Force Agila will
spearhead the investigation and validation of the names of the local
chief executives and other personalities that were earlier called out
and soon will be named by President Duterte; Promotion and adoption of ‘best practices’ not only in the level of the local government but also in other attached agencies of the Department; Completion and implementation of all pending LGU projects such as the Salintubig which was given P1.7 billion allocation for next year; and the information drive on Federalism.
Sueno explained that through his MASA-MASID, the public can volunteer
by reporting to the DILG any information about illegal drugs, corruption
committed by public officials and criminality.
“By means of reporting the irregularity or criminality that you have witnessed, you also help in governing your locality,” he
said, as he admitted that MASA-MASID’s lifeline is the wide support
extended by volunteers from all walks of life like what he saw
first-hand in Kuala Lumpur.
Yesterday, the fourth Sulong
Pilipinas dialogue was graced by President Duterte as guest of honor and
was participated in by local chief executives from Regions IVA, IVB, V
and the National Capital Region and other government partners to unify
government actions on peace and order and the social development agenda.
