To strengthen organizational coordination, reinforce strategic alignment, and foster a culture of collective accountability in the implementation of programs and priority undertakings, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Lanao del Norte Provincial Office conducted its CY 2026 DILG LDN Team Conference on September 3, 2026, at the DILG Lanao del Norte Provincial Office.
The conference served as a vital mechanism for aligning the Provincial Officeโs priorities, reviewing accomplishments and pending action points, sharing program developments, and addressing administrative and operational concerns. It provided personnel with an opportunity to collectively assess current undertakings and establish a clear and unified direction toward the effective and timely delivery of the Departmentโs mandates.
In his opening message, Provincial Director Jay Niel C. Aรฑasco, CESE, emphasized that organizational success is anchored on a team that works with a shared direction, clear responsibilities, and a strong sense of commitment. He underscored the importance of remaining aligned with the upcoming activities and priority undertakings of the Provincial Office, stressing that their successful implementation depends on the active participation, cooperation, and commitment of every member of the DILG Lanao del Norte team. He further highlighted that each personnel has a significant role in translating plans into meaningful results, emphasizing that individual efforts, when united through teamwork and collective accountability, become instrumental in achieving the Officeโs goals and organizational objectives.
Building on this direction, the conference featured updates on LGMES reports and issuances, including the status of action points raised during previous meetings, upcoming activities, and developments on the Seal of Good Local Governance (SGLG). The updates were presented by LGOO V/Section Chief Emmanuel A. Talandron and MLGOO Princess Mae L. Monteron, providing personnel with relevant information and guidance on program implementation and forthcoming commitments.
The Local Government Capacity Development Section (LGCDS) also presented its reports and upcoming activities through LGOO III/Section Chief Justine Mae M. Acierto, highlighting current and forthcoming capacity development initiatives and reinforcing the need for coordinated action in advancing local government capacity-building efforts.
Meanwhile, PEO II Abdul Fatah M. Macabantog, together with the PDMU Team, presented updates on locally funded projects, focusing on upcoming activities and implementation concerns. The discussion emphasized the importance of proper coordination, timely action, and sustained monitoring in ensuring that project-related commitments are effectively carried out.
The Finance and Administrative Team and PM Abdullah M. Alip also presented updates on finance and administrative matters, and other key deliverables. The discussion provided personnel with guidance on relevant policies, and procedures.
The conference likewise provided an avenue to strengthen the Officeโs commitment to gender-responsive and child-sensitive local governance through the presentation of the CY 2026 LCAT-VAWC Assessment Results by Randell Ivan A. Caรฑete. The presentation offered valuable insights into the assessment outcomes and identified areas requiring sustained attention and appropriate interventions to further strengthen local mechanisms for the protection and welfare of women and children.
An open forum followed the presentations, allowing personnel to openly raise concerns, clarify matters, exchange insights, and provide recommendations. The dialogue underscored the importance of open communication in addressing operational challenges and improving the overall effectiveness of the Provincial Office.
The activity concluded with the closing remarks of Program Manager Abdullah M. Alip, who emphasized the importance of sustaining the momentum generated by the conference and translating the discussions into concrete actions and results.
The successful conduct of the Team Conference reflects the unity, dedication, and professionalism of the DILG Lanao del Norte team. Through strengthened coordination, knowledge-sharing, and collective action, the Office continues to enhance the effective implementation of its programs and priorities while supporting local government units toward stronger governance, improved service delivery, and meaningful development for the people of Lanao del Norte.
