RD Dijan, in her message, encouraged everyone to give their full participation in the course of activity and challenged them to have a model and best LCCAP which can be adopted by other regions. Moreover, she stressed that we need to be enthusiastic in doing our jobs as she quoted Ginebra’s tag line “Ganado sa Buhay”. She reminded everyone as civil servants to maximize the resources we have to deliver the best services to our constituents and this is where the importance of planning comes in. She ended her message by quoting Piolo Pascual’s ad PYOLO- “Plan, You Only Live Once”.
The participants were the: City Planning and Development Officers; City Disaster Risk Reduction Management Officers; City Zoning/Building Officer; Municipal Health Officer; Municipal Agriculturist or Environment and Natural Resources Officer; and City Local Government Operations Officer.
