Boholana Wins Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award
« on: November 09, 2010, 11:06:46 AM »
A Boholana municipal office head is one of the Philippine’s most outstanding officials and employees this year, grabbing the Presidential Lingkod Bayan Award which is regarded as the country’s Nobel Prize for public service.

Teodosia S. Bernaldez, municipal civil registrar of Loboc, on Friday was conferred the honor by no less than Pres. Benigno S. Aquino III at the Rizal Ceremonial Hall, Malacañan Palace.

In China, the visiting Boholano delegation led by Gov. Edgar Chatto celebrated Bernaldez’ rare distinction described by the governor as “one more national testament to the Boholano excellence in local governance.”

Chatto was himself a Presidential Lingkod Bayan awardee during his stint as vice governor of Bohol in 2000. For his feat, the Philippine government raised his salary, among other prizes, equivalent to the governor’s at that time.

The award is the highest honor given to state workers for exceptional contributions resulting from an idea or performance that has a nationwide impact on public interest. There are also winners in two other categories, the Dangal ng Bayan Award and CSC Pagasa Award.

The annual prestigious selection has been spearheaded by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) together with the Office of the President and this year’s honoring highlighted the 110th Anniversary of the Philippine Civil Service.

The CSC’s commemoration theme is RACE for “responsive, accessible, courteous and effective public service.” More than this year’s anniversary central theme, RACE represents an ideal in public service, a perennial goal, an unending challenge.

Bernaldez bested another Boholano nominee, former governor and now Second District Rep. Erico Aumentado, who was included among the 19 semi-finalists. His record was submitted as then governor.

The Loboc civil registrar shared the 2010 Lingkod Bayan final honors with only six others from across the country, namely DTI Senior Usec,. Thomas Aquino, Clark Air Base Command aircraft mechanic Pablo Lasprilla, Jr., Philippine Institute of Volcanology & Seismology Dir. IV Renato Solidum of Quezon City, Major Danilo Atienza Air Base technical sergeant Salvador Buenaobra, Jr. of Sangley Point in Cavite City, 85thInfantry Batallion commander Col. Lope Dagoy of Tanay, Rizal, and Komisyon sa Wikang Pilipino Acting Dir. Gen. Fe Yap of San Miguel, Manila.

Chatto said Bernaldez’ honor will motivate fellow local government workers not just in Bohol but the whole nation.

The governor himself launched as soon as he assumed capitol office the search for model provincial government employees by departments to inspire workers, stressing that “inspired people work better.”

Bernaldez is the only appointed local official among this year’s major awardees. Chatto, on the other hand, has been reputed to be the only elective official ever honored the Lingkod Bayan Award.

CSC Chairman Francisco Duque III chaired this year’s award committee together with Exec. Dir. Ma. Nieves Confesor of the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) Team Energy for Bridging Societal Divides, Chief Exec. Officer Milwida Martin Guevara of Synergeia Foundation, Associate Editor Marichu Villanueva of Philippine Star, and Chief of Presidential Protocol Miguel Perez-Rubio. (Ven rebo Arigo)
