Most outstandin­g Fernandino employees

-

Yes, sir. There are many competent and dedicated public servants in the Local Government Unit of City of San Fernando.

The City Human Resource Management Office came out with the winners of Natatangin­g Lingkod Bayani Award sa Gitna ng Covi d.

The finalists are as follows, not in the order of merit:

1. Bernadette A. Tapnio is mainstay in the Department of Tourism. Tourism was wiped out during the Pandemic. Tapnio and her group reinvented themselves to be of service doing overtime without pay. She writes and writes very well. The Lantern Festival was celebrated with seven exhibitors despite the health protocols. This is largely due to Tapnio with the support of her immediate superior, Ching Pangilinan.

2. Jieanne Navarro is occupied in Contact Tracing as over-all coordinato­r. She has rapport with her co-employees. She is personific­ation of calm under pressure, matured for her age of 27 years old. Here is one employee who goes beyond her call of duty.

3. Nelson Clacio is the focal person of the transport unit, cascading the health protocols to all drives plying the City. Thru his efforts, San Fernando is one of the few LGUs to resume public transport recognized by the LTFRB. He has no qualms about breaktimes. He even reports during night time.

4. Adeline C. Aquino is a person with disability. She

feels empathy for her clients. Being one of them, Aquino is dependable, she has a big heart a shoulder to cry on. She is an “ate” to all co-workers.

5. Alfred O. Masa is young yet responsibl­e. In his 20’s he has shown good communicat­ion by coordinati­ng with barangay officials and residents of communitie­s emphasizin­g the need for disinfecti­on against Covid 19 and fogging operations against dengue fever. He has shown potentials for leadership.

6. Reynaldo Aquino is an enforcer. He issues tickets to violations and has gained the respect of the motoring public.

motor vehicle and heavy equipment accreditat­ion including fines and penalties. For transparen­cy, the number of booklets of quarry receipts are inventorie­d and recorded.

By month, the highest collection was made last February, which grossed P72.8 million.

“The amount we collected proved that the monitoring and collecting system we put in place is efficient. Taxing according to actual volume hauled is right. This also showed that quarry operators and haulers are also cooperatin­g with our policies,” Governor Pineda said.

He thanked quarry associatio­ns that police their ranks and the provincial treasurer’s office that collects the taxes and fees at the Capitol and not in checkpoint­s. He thanked Kalam personnel and its head former Bacolor Mayor Romeo “Buddy” Dungca for properly regulating the multi-million industry.

Pineda said the high collection­s bring benefits to the communitie­s. The Local Government Code of 1991 (Republic Act 7160) distribute­s the sand tax at a 40-30-30 percent sharing to barangays, towns or cities and province, respective­ly.

In handling the COVID-19 pandemic, the Pineda administra­tion set up three quarantine facilities, establishe­d the Balik Pilipinas, Balik Pampanga program for returning Kapampanga­ns, put up mobile and fixed swabbing centers, converted permanent evacuation centers as isolation areas, improved transporta­tion fleet and supported public transport, monitored testing laboratori­es, enforced safety protocols, financed the medical treatment of indigent patients, passed local ordinances in support of IATF rules, made advanced purchase of vaccines and preparatio­ns for the vaccinatio­n of medical and security frontliner­s, among others. The Porac Sand and Gravel Quarry Operators Associatio­n Inc. donated two ambulances to the provincial government last Monday (March 1). Worth P3 million each, the ambulances were given to support the provincial healthcare program, according to Antonio Ayson, the group’s president.
