2010: SURIGAO CITY - DILG Secretary Jesse M. Robredo graced the 100 Days Progress Report of the newly-installed Provincial Governor of Surigao del Norte, Hon. Sol F. Matugas, and the mass oath-taking of newly-elected punong barangays of Surigao del Norte at the Provincial Convention Center, Surigao City.
Secretary Robredo was invited to the momentous affair to recommend policy options for more improved governance in the Province that focuses specifically on transparency accountability and people’s participation. The affair was also designed to update the Honorable Secretary on the socio-economic situation of the Province.

Robredo emphasized that some services of the government should be given to the private sector and not to the local government units alone. He made it clear that the LGUs and the non-government organizations should work together as a team to ensure efficiency in public service. He cited his success story in good governance when he was still a local chief executive of Naga City.

“People are encouraged to pay taxes because people are satisfied sa binabalik na services ng LGU,” said Robredo in his message during the activity.

Secretary Robredo also cited the significance of providing a Citizen’s Charter copy in every household to ensure transparency in local government transactions. He also stressed the importance of health, education and information as indispensable goals in achieving excellence in local governance.

Governor Sol F. Matugas presented her 100 days Progress Report which was aimed towards achieving HEALS until the end of her term.
