QUEZON PROVINCIAL INTER-AGENCY MONITORING TASK FORCE (PIMTF)

CONDUCTED TABLE ASSESSMENT FOR 2022 CHILD-FRIENDLY LOCAL GOVERNANCE
AUDIT (CFLGA)

The Quezon Provincial Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force (PIMTF) conducted a two-day
table assessment for the 2022 Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) last
February 22-23, 2023 at the OPPDC Conference Room, Quezon Provincial Capitol. The
activity was participated by representatives from Provincial Social Welfare and
Development Office (PSWDO), Provincial Planning and Development Office (PPDO),
Provincial Health Office (PHO), Provincial Nutrition Action Office (PNAO) and Department
of Education (DepED) Quezon who sit as members of the PIMTF. They were also joined by
LGOO II Denise Ann F. Reselloza and LGOO II Kathleen L. Potestades-Florendo, who
represented DILG Quezon, as Focal Person and Alternate Focal Person respectively, of
CFLGA.

Prior to the conduct of the assessment, DILG Quezon facilitated Quezon PIMTF
Coordination Meeting that was held on February 17, 2023. Among the agenda were the
latest functionality indicators of CFLGA, detailed results of the 2021 audit, walkthrough in
the system and the preparation for the upcoming tabletop assessment of the said audit.

The aim of the PIMTF members is to successfully assess the performance of City and
Municipal Local Government Units in the delivery of programs and services for the
realization of the rights of Filipino children to survival, development, protection, and
participation. Primarily, the Quezon PIMTF reviewed the submitted Means of Verifications
(MOVs) of the Local Government Units (LGU) through the Seal of Child Friendly Local
Governance-Knowledge Management System (SCFLG-KMS). With all the initial results of
the cities and municipalities already placed in the system, the Task Force looked into the
uploaded documents of the City and Municipal Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force (C/M
IMTF). Discrepancies between the data of the LGU and Provincial Government were also
noted for the reconciliation of data encoded/uploaded. Each member of the PIMTF has an
assigned area or indicator to review so they can provide further comments and findings.
 LGUs that will pass the CFLGA will be conferred the Seal of Child Friendly Local
Governance by the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC). This is also one of the
indicators in the Social Protection and Sensitivity area under the Seal of Good Local
Governance (SGLG) - the highest recognition given to excellent performing LGUs. It can be
recalled that for audit year 2021, nine (9) out of forty (40) C/MLGUs in the province of
Quezon, were conferred with the Seal of Child-Friendly Local Governance Audit. These
include the local government units of Calauag, Candelaria, Dolores, Lopez, Lucban,
Patnanungan, San Antonio, Sariaya and Tayabas City. In 2023, the PIMTF hoped that more
and more LGUs will continue improving the delivery of social services on child and youth
welfare in their localities to ultimately achieve a Child-Friendly City or Municipality.

To ensure that the children's rights and welfare are mainstreamed in development plans of
local government units (LGUs) in all levels, the department continuously perform its functions
in evaluating and capacitating its partners, Assessments such as the Local Protection of
Children (LCPC) Functionality Assessment are conducted.

On March 22, 2023 at the Conference Room of DILG Quezon, the Quezon Provincial Inter-
Agency Monitoring Task Force (PIMTF) conducted its Coordination Meeting discussing the
assessment of the functionality of the City/Municipal Council for the Protection of Children
(C/MCPC).
Their task also include the validation of the City/Municipal Inter-Agency Monitoring Task Force
(C/MIMTF) from their functionality assessment of Barangay Council for the Protection of
Children (BCPC).

communities will be encouraged to produce fresh, healthy and affordable fruits and
vegetables in their backyards and spaces, and through the establishment of barangay
community garden/s

 LOCAL ACCESS ROAD IN BRGY. TUNTON,
TAGKAWAYAN, QUEZON
The Philippine government's essential program known
as the Local Government Support Fund – Support to
Barangay Program (LGSF-SBDP) provides barangays,
which were initially established as guerilla fronts for
the CPP-NPA-NDF, with financial and technical
assistance for their development requirements. The
program has helped promote local development and
improve the quality of life of people in remote and
underserved areas. Its participatory approach to
development planning has also helped empower
barangays to identify their needs and priorities and
implement projects that are responsive to their unique
situations.
Brgy. Tunton of the municipality of Tagkawayan,
Quezon is one of the beneficiaries of the FY 2022
LGSF-SBDP with a total allocation amounting to P
4,000,000.00. The Rehabilitation of the Road at Brgy.
Tunton is one of the projects that were proposed by
the LGU of Tagkawayan and was approved as part of
this program.

Accordingly, an estimated number of 1146 individual beneficiaries will benefit from the 351.50
meter-long and 5.0 meter-wide road project in Barangay Tunton.
A field inspection that the DILG Project Monitoring Team attended on March 8, 2023, in
Tagkawayan, Quezon, confirms the rehabilitation of the barangay road in Brgy. Tunton is now
finished and functional. The team is comprised of Engr. II Hadadezer R. Abadier and Engr. II Dave
Wilmar B. Mendoza.
The improved condition of the previously unpaved road enables farmers to bring their goods to
market faster, fresher, and at a lower cost, thereby increasing their income and contributing to the
community's food security.
Aside from facilitating the transport of agricultural products, this will also provide better access to
healthcare, education, and other social services, as well as emergency services during natural
disasters.

Implementation of New Permitting and Licensing Standards for Businesses

One of the roles of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) as
provided for by Republic Act 11032 or the Ease of Doing Business Act is to supervise and
monitor the progress of the Local Government Units relative to compliance with the
provisions of the law. The implementation of new permitting and licensing standards for
businesses aims to simplify and streamline the process, making it easier for entrepreneurs
to start and operate their businesses in the country. The Department expects this move to
attract more investments, create jobs, and boost economic growth.
This Department, in its capacity as the chairperson of the Business Permits and Licensing
System Regional Coordination Committee (BPLS RCCOM), started an annual Business One
Stop Shop (BOSS) Monitoring for selected Local Government Units (LGUs). In order to
assist local governments in streamlining their processes and procedures in issuing
business permits, the department has initiated this endeavour. This is one of its strategies
to assist local governments. I conducted the visit of several LGUs in Quezon to monitor
compliance with the BPLS standards from January 24 to 26, 2023. This was in an effort to
ascertain if the LGUs complied with the standards. I visited seven local government units,
which included Guinayangan, Lopez, General Luna, Macalelon, Gumaca, Plaridel, and
Padre Burgos. A team of experts who evaluated the LGUs’ compliance with the said law
conducted the assessment. The results of the assessment will identify areas for
improvement and to provide recommendations for capacity-building interventions..
 The BOSS monitoring team comprises members of the RCCom. These individuals include
representatives from the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) IV-A, the Department of
Information and Communication Technology (DICT) IV-A, the Bureau of Fire Protection IV-
A, Batangas State University, and the Anti-Red Tape Authority (ARTA). They were also
joined by LGOO III Jose Maria Nino T. Revadavia and LGOO II John Paul M. Nieva, who
represented DILG Quezon in their capacity as alternate focal persons of the said program

The assessment tool was used to interview concerned LGU officials and clients. The
validation is to identify gaps in the existing business permits, licensing systems, and
processes of selected local governments.
The activity’s outcomes will cause suggestions for enhancing the effectiveness and
efficiency of their business permitting systems and procedures.
Faster and simpler. More business. More revenue.
This expression emphasizes how crucial business growth is for boosting revenues and
profits. It motivates business owners to look for fresh opportunities and clientele in order
to increase sales and enhance services.
