In an effort to ensure accurate encoding and updating of real time status of locally-funded projects (LFPs) in the SubayBAYAN Portal and RSSA system, the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Zambales headed by Provincial Director Armi V. Bactad, CESO V, conducted athree (3) day one-on-one SubayBAYAN and RSSA coaching on January 25-27, 2022 via zoom meeting application.
The coaching was participated in by the SubayBAYAN and RSSA focal persons from the thirteen (13) municipalities of Zambales. It aimed to provide technical support for the LGUs in navigating the SubayBAYAN portal and Rapid Subproject Sustainability Assessment (RSSA) system - which serve as primary platforms for the new normal monitoring of infrastructure projects to ensure quality and effective implementation.
Engr. III Ma. Garelyn D. Pangilinan and Engr. Jess B. Edillor discussed the integration of SubayBAYAN project details to the RSSA system wherein a set of criteria was made to prevent a repetitive encoding and data anomaly on the said system. In addition, it was also emphasized that assessment of the project one year after being certified as completed must be administered by the LGUs using the web-based application - the RSSA system.
Afterwards, Engr. Pangilinan and Engr. Edillor facilitated the encoding of needed data in the SubayBAYAN Portal and walked the participants through the RSSA system.
The Department continues to put a premium on ensuring the quality of DILG-administered projects through risk- and results-based project monitoring and evaluation by utilizing various online platforms for more convenient and efficient data gathering.
