The Civil Service Commission Regional Office II has officially announced the Regional Qualifiers for the prestigious 2026 Honor Awards Program, inviting the public to participate in the validation process through feedback and submissions.
Among the distinguished nominees is Caesar Santos Dy Jr., City Mayor of the Cauayan City, who has been recognized under the Gawad Pagasa (Individual Category)—an award conferred upon public officials whose innovations and initiatives significantly contribute to improved public service delivery and institutional transformation.
Mayor Dy’s inclusion as a Regional Qualifier reflects not only exemplary leadership but also a sustained commitment to innovative, inclusive, and systems-driven governance. Under his administration, Cauayan City has emerged as a model of data-driven public service, leveraging digital platforms such as the JCD GAD Connect Knowledge Management System to ensure real-time monitoring, transparency, and responsiveness across government services.
His leadership has been instrumental in advancing gender-responsive governance, strengthening the Gender and Development (GAD) framework, and institutionalizing mechanisms that integrate Women, Peace and Security (WPS) principles into local governance. These efforts have translated into tangible outcomes—enhanced service delivery, improved citizen engagement, and more inclusive programs that reach marginalized sectors, including women, youth, senior citizens, and persons with disabilities.
Beyond digital innovation, Mayor Dy has championed community-centered programs such as Serbisyong Una Ka Dito (SUKD), bringing government services closer to the people, and has supported cultural and advocacy initiatives like the Orange Exhibit, which promotes awareness on gender-based violence through creative expression.
The Gawad Pagasa recognition affirms his role as a transformative leader who not only meets the demands of governance but redefines them—shifting from traditional administrative approaches toward integrated, evidence-based, and citizen-focused systems.
As the Civil Service Commission opens the call for public feedback from April 28 to May 4, 2026, stakeholders and citizens are encouraged to contribute insights that will aid in the deliberation process. This participatory approach underscores the values of transparency, accountability, and shared governance—principles that Mayor Dy himself has consistently upheld.
The City Government of Cauayan stands proud of this recognition, viewing it not merely as an individual achievement, but as a reflection of the collective efforts of its public servants and the active participation of its citizens in building a resilient, inclusive, and future-ready city.
