The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) La Union Provincial Office participated in the Online Orientation on DILG Circular No. 2026-017, or the Delegation of Authority in the Issuance of Foreign Travel Authority (FTA) to Local Officials and Employees, conducted by the Bureau of Local Government Supervision (BLGS) via Zoom Teleconference.
The orientation brought together participants from the DILG Regional and Provincial Offices to discuss the provisions and implementation of the Circular, particularly the changes introduced in the processing and issuance of Foreign Travel Authorities (FTAs) for local officials and employees.
