The Philippine Councilors League (PCL) - Tarlac Chapter, in partnership with DILG Tarlac, successfully conducted the Capacity Development Activity entitled “BOLSTER 3.0: Boosting and Optimizing Local Sanggunians Toward Efficient Regulation-Formulation" from February 27 to March 1, 2024, at the Hennan Palm Beach Resort in Boracay Island, Aklan.

BOLSTER 3.0 aimed to equip members of the Local Sanggunians with the latest knowledge in local governance and legislation. As a follow-through activity,  BOLSTER 3.0 focused on two significant areas: Understanding Effective Local Legislation and an in-depth discussion on Administrative Investigation, discussed respectively by LGOO VII Jeffrey S. Manalastas and LGOO VII Danilo C. Rillera.

Since the enactment of laws play a crucial role in the development and progress of communities, it is imperative for the Sanggunians to be well-versed in crafting effective legislation that addresses the needs and concerns of their constituents. Through the interactive sessions of BOLSTER 3.0, participants gained insights into the nitty-gritty of local legislation, including the frequently asked questions that they encounter in their everyday duties. The program also delved into Administrative Investigation, an essential aspect of legislation that emphasizes the importance of following due process.

Hon. Jude Joseph David, President of the PCL - Tarlac Chapter, expressed his gratitude to DILG Tarlac for their collaboration in organizing this transformative program. He emphasized the significance of conducting continuous capacity-building initiatives for local elected officials to enhance their effectiveness in serving the public. In return, DILG Tarlac Provincial Director Armi V. Bactad, CESO V also recognized PCL – Tarlac Chapter’s dedication to enriching their knowledge on legislation and governance in general, which contributes to the exemplary performance of the entire Province, making Tarlac shine when it comes to accountable and transparent governance.

BOLSTER 3.0 not only provided our local elected officials with valuable insights but also fostered camaraderie among local Sanggunians from different local government units (LGUs) in Tarlac. It also served as a platform for networking and sharing best practices, ultimately strengthening the capacity of the LGUs to address the evolving needs of their communities.
