Rehiyon ti Ilokos; Rihiyo na Sagor ed Baybay Luzon

egion 1, envisioned as the powerhouse on agribusiness and tourism by the Regional Development Council (RDC) 1, is located in the northwestern portion of Luzon. Home of several past Presidents. Birthplace of heroes. A region bursting of history. A place of warm smiles and friendly embraces.

The Ilocos Region or Region 1, Rehion ti Ilokos in Ilokano, Rihiyon na Sagor ed Baybay Luzon in Pangasinan, - the two major local dialects of the area - is bounded by the Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR) and Cagayan Valley in the East, Central Luzon in the South and by the South China Sea in the West.

Lingayen Gulf is the most prominent body of water in the Region which is surrounded by a number of islands including the Hundred Islands National Park located in Alaminos City, Pangasinan.

THE REGION is composed of 3, 394 Local Government Units (LGUs), broken down as follows: four (4) Provinces; nine (9) Cities; 116 Municipalities and 3,265 Barangays. Based on the 2010 National Statistics Office Survey, it has a total population of 4,748,372; the population of PANGASINAN comprises 58% of the total population. It has a total land area of 1, 297, 260 hectares.

The population is predominantly Roman Catholics; however, there are strong adherents of Protestantism, Iglesia ni Cristo and Mormons, which are just among the various religions practiced in the Region.

Before the formation of CAR, the Provinces of Abra, Mountain Province and Benguet were included in Region 1. Moreover, Pangasinan, then belonged to Region III; however, President Ferdinand E. Marcos signed Presidential Decree No. 1 in 1972 incorporating the said Province to the Region.

Sixty–six percent (66%) speaks the Ilokano dialect; 27% speaks Pangasinan, and the Tagalogs compose 3%. Minority groups include the Tinggians, Itneg and Bago communities who inhabit most of the upland municipalities of the Region.

The Economy of Ilocos Region is based on agriculture, producing wide variety

of vegetables, animals, and fish. Principal products are rice, corn, tobacco, garlic, sugarcane, and cassava. The Region is expanding into a variety of food-processing industries, and also practices a number of crafts and cottage industries: blanketweaving, basketry, shellcraft, broommaking, pottery-making, wine and vinegar making, jewelry making, wood and stone craft, among others jars and antiques can also be bought in the region.

Ilocos Region’s Infrastructure sector is focusing on providing adequate and

reliable infra support for agriculture, industry, tourism and human resources development for the next six years.

As envisioned in the medium term regional development plan 2011-2016 (MTRDP-2010-2016), infrastructure support facilities shall be provided to the various sectors in the region in accordance to appropriate design standards, plans and specifications. Ilocos Region’s MTRDP-2010-2016 is a blueprint which laid down the goals, targets and strategies paralleled with the thrusts of the new administration in attaining its economic vision for the next six years.

The goals, targets, strategies including the infra projects spelled out in the MTRDP 2010-2016 are geared towards achieving sustained growth, employment generation, improvement in health and education facilities for better quality and manpower, and build capabilities for resilient communities in Ilocos Region.

Tourism is also picking up in the region with old churches and

houses, historical sites, beaches, nature trails and native products and handicrafts as the main attractions for both local and foreign tourists. The Region has two (2) international – standard airports located in the Cities of Laoag, Ilocos Norte and San Fernando, La Union.

There is a road network that links Region I to the other parts of Luzon. The Tarlac-Pangasinan-La Union Expressway has already broken ground for the Tarlac-Pangasinan section.

Sea transport facilities are concentrated in the Port of San Fernando in La Union and Currimao in Ilocos Norte. The Salomague Port in Cabugao, Ilocos Sur has facilities as a containerized transshipment port. These are primarily for the movement of goods.

The Region’s energy and telecommunications requirements are well developed, having Coal and Wind Power generation providers. The manufacturing sector has also recently initiated the generation of renewable energy which is designed to supply rice millers and farmers in La Union and Pangasinan in the coming years.

Fort Ilocandia Tourism Economic Zone in Laoag City and Pangasinan Industrial Park II in Mabini, Pangasinan thrusts economic development of the Region. The province of Pangasinan has initiated the development of a 250-hectare Eco-Tourism Zone in its capital, Lingayen. It is being offered to be developed by investors under the Public-Private Partnership.

In bringing the government closer to the people, Local Governments in the Region need to initiate effective communication plans to further convey essential programs and encourage participation of the public in policy formulation, planning, and implementation.

Partnership with Non-Government Organizations and the Private Sector needs to be strengthened. Administrative and Technical capability building programs for the Executive and Legislative Human Resource need to be sustained.

Heavy dependence of Local Governments on IRAs need to be trimmed down in order to institutionalize local autonomy in the long run.

Local Sanggunians need to complement Executive initiatives and must act immediately on concerns that need legislative intervention.

In line with the Administration’s thrust in promoting transparency, Local Governments further need to intensify its information drive to inform the public of executive and legislative policies and its finances and public offerings.

Observance of guidelines relative to accounting, internal control, procurement and financial transactions need to be strengthened to ensure sound Fiscal Management by the LGUs.

II. ISSUES & CONCERNS:

GOVERNANCE

Local Government Units should step up efforts to implement Programs to prevent the proliferation of informal settlers and make available long term home financing. Support to Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities through the establishment of centers and offices in identified strategic areas are not yet fully in place. There is a need to intensify efforts in combating the emergence/occurrence of Lifestyle related diseases and leading diseases such as Acute Gastroenteritis Diarrhea, Tuberculosis, Dengue, Influenza AH1N1, and Leptospirosis.

Generation of opportunities for employment and availability /provision of financing for capital for livelihood are concerns which need to be addressed by the Local Government Units. Damage caused by recent calamities requires the reconstruction of a number of health facilities. Philhealth Accreditation for Out-patient Benefit Package, Maternity Care Package and Directly Observed Treatment Short course on Tuberculosis (TB DOTS). Additional efforts must be employed on the acquisition of textbooks and construction of educational infrastructure facilities and projects to support the increasing number of school age population and support to alternative Early Childhood Care and Development Programs for inaccessible communities. LGUs need to step up efforts in curbing Maternal Deaths and Malnutrition, encouraging Facility based deliveries and expanding coverage of immunization and Micro-nutrient supplementation programs.

SOCIAL

Strengthening of mechanisms on Health Emergency and Response is also a concern which needs to be addressed through organization of Emergency and Response Committees.

Full adoption of new technologies for agriculture must be employed to curb the rising cost of production inputs and minimizing post harvest losses and underutilized farm by-products for livestock production. Updating of Comprehensive Risk Reduction Management Plan is underway to include Digitized Risk Maps.

Enhancement of market development services, linkages, technology, infrastructure and facilities support to agricultural production should be put in place. Local Governments need to step up efforts in the prevention of degradation of ecological zones due to population pressure and depletion of natural resources.

V. COMPLIANCE OF LGUs ON DILG KEY DIRECTIVES

ANTI RED TAPE ACT

In response to the urgent need to eliminate red tape and improve

frontline service delivery in government agencies, Republic Act No. 9485, otherwise known as the "Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007" was enacted by Congress on June 20, 2007.

Pursuant to Section 16 of said law, the Civil Service Commission (CSC), as mandated therein, promulgated the Implementing Rules and Regulations of said act on July 24, 2008 which was published in the Philippine Star on August 21, 2008. Anti-Red Tape Act of 2007 and its IRR aim to promote transparency in the government, re-engineering the systems and procedures of each office or agency with regard to the manner of transacting with the public. Thus, each agency is required to simplify frontline service procedures, formulate service standards for clients to observe or follow in every transaction and make these standards known to the client.

The Department calls forth its officials and employees to support, believe and practice its Change Agenda – Partnership with the Civil Society Organizations and Other Stakeholders, Accountability, Responsibility and Transparency coined in an acronym PART. In DILG Regional Office, these basic standards are earnestly subscribed to in carrying out our mandated tasks of strengthening the capacities of local government units and maintaining peaceful and safe localities.

The personnel of the Regional and Provincial Offices deliver their respective frontline services guided by their Citizen’s Charters. The officials and employees of the DILG had pledged to deliver quality public service to its clients with the highest degree of professionalism, integrity and impartiality. Everyone has adhered to the Department’s Motto, “Sa Diyos, Sa Tao, Serbisyong Totoo!”

The Office had also adopted the Cluster Strategy to enhance the performance of the field officers and fulfil the Department’s vision of being the primary catalyst for excellence in local governance. At present, we have 6 Cluster Teams covering the 125 LGUs of the Region under the supervision of LGOO VI/Cluster Leaders or Outcome Managers. Moreover, we are among the pilot implementers of the Local Governance Regional Resource Center (LGRRC) and its major concept “Knowledge Management.” At present, our LGRRC have an array of Knowledge Products which our clients from the LGUs and the academe, students and private individuals can avail.

We have maintained our strong working relationship with the Regional Development Council (RDC). In fact, an awards system for the LGUs was developed and being implemented by the DILG – RDC. These are, “Best Performing LGUs, based on the LGPMS”; “LGU Best Practices”; “Cleanest, Greenest and Most Peaceful LGU,” and; “LGU – NGO Best Practices.” Yearly recognition to LGUs through the RDC Performance Awards for showcasing their innovative programs and good practices and effectiveness in service delivery in furtherance to good governance were undertaken. The Office has also fostered a solid teamwork with the different Regional Line Agencies like, just to name a few, the National Economic Development Authority (NEDA), Department of Health (DOH), Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR), Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), and Commission on Human Rights (CHR). We have continuously provided the technical assistance and data requirements these Agencies have requested. The DILG R1 has consistently been a member of the Provincial and Regional Sector and Awards Committees.
