Captania revealed that after assuming their respective offices as public officials, the latter are mandated by the DILG to formulate their ELA and submit copies to the concerned government agency which will serve as everybody’s guide on how each LGU will run their governance during the term. “The LGUs are advised to immediately formulate their own ELA after assuming office and submit it to the DILG for purposes of guidance in the way they run their local government during their respective terms”, explained Capitania. According the DILG Provincial Chief, only six (6) municipalities, Tungawan, Diplahan, Kabasalan, Payao, Mabuhay and Buug, were able to submit their ELA as of PRESS time. “So far, we only have six municipalities that submitted their ELA and the rest are still on their way of finishing the final touches of their reports and we at the DILG are waiting for them to submit as soon as possible”, Capitania added. The ELA is a compilation of the goals and plans of the LGU during the term. It also includes the mission and vision of the LGU, detailed but brief profile of the municipality, sectoral development goals and strategies, legislative requirements, plan implementations, monitoring and evaluation. The said document is regularly done every term. Capitania then urged the LGUs to comply with the requirements of the DILG related to its full disclosure policy. “I am urging all the LGUs here in Sibugay to see to it that they would comply the full disclosure policy of the DILG so that we can ensure that we are all in the right track in our governance”, Capitania ended.
