   The Department of the Interior and Local Government in Region III has consistently been advocating the implementation of a 100% Smoke-Free Environment and protection of the bureaucracy against tobacco industry interference. Another orientation among DILG Regional and Field personnel was conducted on August 20, 2014 while the same activity in the provinces of Bulacan and Pampanga was conducted on July 30 and July 31, 2014, respectively.  

   Finance and Administrative Chief Anita Adriano in her message encouraged the personnel to help cause the widest dissemination of this government advocacy and ensure strict compliance for health reasons. Recent studies show that both smoker and passive smoker are prone to lung cancer, heart attack, asthma attack and other acute respiratory diseases.    

   The orientation is in support to Joint Memorandum Circular No. 2010-01 regarding Protection of the Bureaucracy Against Tobacco Industry Interference issued by the Department of Health and Civil Service Commission.

   The remaining DILG provincial and city offices in the region will also be given orientation on Smoke-free environment.

   With Governor Aurelio Umali recently appointed as chairperson by Sec. Mar Roxas with the President’s approval, the organizational meeting of the Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC) was held.  This milestone was relished as numerous issues were aptly discussed and addressed by the council last August 14, 2014 in Widus Hotel, Clarkfield, Angeles City, Pampanga.

   A total of 429 Certifications on Civil Service Commission (CSC) Eligibility for Central Luzon (CL) local officials were issued by DILG Region 3 for the First Semester of CY 2014.  These include 416 certifications for barangay officials and 13 for Sanggunian Panglungsod and Bayan Members.

   Republic Act 10156 entitled, “An Act Conferring Upon Members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Sangguniang Panlungsod and Sangguniang Panlalawigan, the Appropriate Civil Service Eligibility Under Certain Circumstances, and for Other Purposes”, was signed into law on December 20, 2011 by President Benigno S. Aquino III.   Under this Republic Act, qualified Sanggunian Members are conferred with the Sanggunian Member Eligibility or SME.  The SME is a Civil Service Eligibility (CSE) granted by the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to qualified members of the Sangguniang Bayan, Sangguniang Panlungsod and Sangguniang Panlalawigan pursuant to the Implementing Rules and Regulations of RA 10156 approved by the CSC in its Resolution No. 1300486 promulgated on March 6, 2013.  On the other hand, CSC Memorandum Circular 2012-13 states the Policies on Services Requirements for Grant of Barangay Officials Eligibility and Other Related Matters.  Elected and appointed barangay officials including SK Chairmen who had rendered the required years in service as stated in this circular can avail of the said eligibility.

   The issuance of CSC Eligibility certifications is among the frontline services being provided by the DILG pursuant to Republic Act 10156 and CSC Memorandum Circular No. 2012-13.

   Both issuances grant CSC sub-professional eligibility which enables these local officials to qualify and apply for first and second level positions in the government.
