“As our covenant for the sustainable progress and development of our province, we have set aside our differences, both personal and political, to do collectively and achieve as a people, the agreed undertakings being embodied in this document…”
This is part of the manifesto in the “Executive and Legislative Collective Commitment for Sustainable Progress and Development” stating the commitment of both branches of the provincial government of Compostela Valley.
After a thorough deliberation that lasted past 10 in the evening, Gov. Jayvee Tyron Uy and Vice-Governor Manuel Zamora finally signed the Executive and Legislative Agenda (ELA) for 2017-2019 on January 18, 2017 at the Waterfront Insular Hotel, Davao City.
Also manifesting their commitment are the SangguniangPanlalawigan (SP) Members headed by Sr. Board Member Arturo Uy, League of Municipalities of the Phils. (LMP) President and Pantukan Mayor Roberto Yugo, and DILG Provincial Director Noel Duarte.
The significant event is also witnessed by the different department heads and their assistants, executive assistants and special program heads of the PLGU.
The new ELA of the province is based on the governor’s development thrusts and priorities covering the subdivisions of local governance: administrative governance, social governance, economic governance, environmental governance, and valuing fundamentals of governance. This is part of the local planning processes and structures mandated by the Local Government Code.
Each of the local governance has been identified with priority issues and provided with corresponding relevant and attainable solutions in terms of strategies and legislative measures.
“We therefore have that moral obligation to work for the people and do the best that we can so as not to frustrate them. It is incumbent upon us to recompense every Comvalenyo’s faith in us. And we have already started working on the gargantuan task that has been laid before us. To make things in order, concrete and sustainable, we need to have a blueprint, and this is through the crafting of an ELA,” the manifesto further states.
For his part, the governor thanked once again the full support of the officials on his administration saying “I want to see a better Comvalenyo for the next generation and an improved quality of life in our province. To the legislative under Vice-Gov. Zamora, ‘saludo ko kaayo sa inyuha, the last 6 months was smooth sailing.” (Fe Maestre/ IDS Comval)
