Buhi, CamSur digitizes records to provide better service to Buhinons

FOUND at the heart of Camarines Sur in the Bicol Region, the Municipality of Buhi used to be a small refugee settlement during the eruption of Mayon Volcano in the 1500s. Now, Buhi serves as home to more than 77,000 locals called Buhinons, who founded a permanent settlement in the area.

As the municipality continues to flourish, it also calls for the LGU to find ways to improve public service, including the use of the latest innovations and tools to deliver better results whenever constituents go to the Municipal Hall for any concerns.

“As public servants, we must be equipped with the right tools for us to deliver better service to our fellow Buhinons. We want to make them feel that the local government is working fast and efficiently since we care about their time, energy, and effort whenever they go to our office for any transactions,” said Mark Anthony Nazarrea, municipal information officer of Buhi.

“When I was designated as the municipality’s Human Resource (HR) officer, I realized that our office was too small despite having enough space for our staff. Our working area seemed cluttered because files and documents occupy a big portion of it,” said Beethoven J.E. Nachor, HR officer of LGU, Buhi.
