8 10 DENR XI Officials visits field officesDENR XI Regional Executive Director Bagani Fidel A. Evasco revisited field offices earlier this month to ensure the continuous implementation of the agency’s programs, projects and activities within Davao Region.

RED Evasco directed all employees to give their full support and cooperation to the newly appointed DENR Secretary Maria Antonia Yulo-Loyzaga whose leadership anchors on scientific and research-based approach.

His visit to the field offices was also meant to assure the officials and personnel that all commitments made in his term will be materialized- all for better and more efficient public service. The director also purposely met the personnel to talk through issues and concerns and distinguish ones that can be addressed immediately.

The visit commenced from the north and culminated to the south field offices of the Davao Region. It covered the offices of PENRO Davao Oriental, PENRO Davao Occidental, PENRO Davao del Sur and CENROs Monkayo, Baganga, Manay, Mati, Maco, Malalag and Digos.

As what he consistently asserts, corruption during his term is non-permissible. The director once again delivered a stern warning to employees who are involved in such practices to which he stressed has reached his office.

“Undangi na na ninyo kung tinuod man. Niligdong lang nga pagpanerbisyo ang akong gipangayo sa inyo. Ang empleyado nga modawat ug kwarta o suhol, gibaligya na pud niya ang iya'ng dignidad ug integridad. Ayaw mo pagpabadlong kay andam mi modepensa ninyo kung naa mo sa katarungan”, RED Evasco said.

(“Should it be true, stop it already. All I asked is an honest public service. If you are corrupt, then you have sold your dignity and integrity. Otherwise, be a public servant driven with honor and honesty, only then you will have me to defend you.”

Moreover, he clarifies the imposition of personnel reshuffling that transpired in the previous months was not related to any issues but was otherwise perceived by the management as an opportunity for career development, working outside their comfort zone.

On the other hand, Assistant Regional Executive Director for Management Services Atty. Ma. Mercedes V. Dumagan, who accompanied RED Evasco discussed current updates particularly on the filling-up of vacant positions, accomplishment reports with corresponding Means of Verification (MOV), the continuous improvement of the Quality Management System, budgetary requirements for properties(buildings) and equipment (motor vehicle, IT equipment).

Assistant Regional Executive Director for Special Concerns Engr. Maribel P. Alicer, who also joined the visit discussed the importance of a one control map. She mentioned that they are now preparing to harmonize the maps which will be used to determine political boundaries, jurisdictional/administrative boundaries.

RED Evasco and the two AREDs left an assurance to everyone that the regional top management will remain committed in providing what is needed at the best of their ability. The officials likewise encouraged them to remain steadfast in delivering quality services to the people.
