San Fernando fetes governance council with marker

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO — The City Government of San Fernando honored Thursday the men and women of the Multi-Sectoral Governance Council (MSGC) by unveiling and installing a marker at Heroes Hall.

City Planning Officer Engr. Fernando Limbitco said the marker is “dedicated to the men and women of the city of San Fernando whose direct and active participation in governance propelled the city to greater heights and closer to its vision of becoming a habitat of human excellence in 2013.”

He said the public-private partnership embodied in the MSGC — created via Executive Order CMO 2006-004 on March 3, 2006 and institutionalized by virtue of City Council Resolution 2006-069 — is the cornerstone of the Performance Governance System espoused by the Institute for Solidarity in Asia.

“The MSGC is a testament that good governance practices will flourish and reap results if the people adopted ‘responsible citizenship’ as their way of life,” added Limbitco.

The inscriptions on the marker also stressed that “it will serve to remind us of the continuing legacy of ‘shared responsibility in governance’ as exemplified in the tradition of the MSGC and acknowledged by public and private institutions in the Philippines and the world as the best practice of Fernandinos.”

MSGC official Tonette Orejas, meanwhile, clarified that the council is not redundant to the Local Development Council (LDC) as raised by some observers.

“The LDC meets only once a year to discuss plans while the MSGC meets regularly to look after policy making concerns. We don’t think there is redundancy as to the LDC’s functions. Even with our projects, there are no replications but rather complementing programs like in health and environment,” she told Sun.Star Pampanga.

Orejas also emphasized that there is no need for “worries or concerns” on accountability since the MSGC handles just policy-making in its involvement in local governance.

“Hindi kami humahawak ng pera. We’re involved only in policy-making. We have other partners like the El Circulo Fernandino who funds greening and beautification projects like the one for the stretch of Jose Abad Santos Avenue. We really don’t think there is a need to worry about accountability,” said Orejas. (JTD)
