DILG Tarlac held its first-ever Provincial Team Conference (PTC) for the year on January 25, 2024, marking the official launch of TANGLAW, its very own Multimedia Team. TANGLAW, which stands for "Transformative Advocacy Network for Government Links and Awareness," embodies the fusion of technical expertise and creative abilities to amplify government initiatives and foster greater awareness within the community.
Through various multimedia channels, TANGLAW aims to bridge the gap between government programs and the public, ensuring that information is coherent, engaging, and accessible. Under TANGLAW’s umbrella of innovations include CommuniTinig, TarlacGabay, TarlAKBAYan, Tarlaugh, KanLahi, TarLakas, The Headlines, and i-Inspire which will kick off in the coming days toward a more inclusive governance.
In addition to the launch, the conference became a venue to introduce the Seal of Good Local Governance Monitoring System. This system reinforces the commitment of DILG Tarlac to uphold and promote good governance practices at the local level, ensuring that communities are served with transparency, accountability, and efficiency – one step closer to our goal of having a 100% passing rate in the forthcoming assessment.
Further, to enhance accessibility, DILG Tarlac also presented the enhanced DILG Tarlac Portal for its personnel. This online initiative provides easy access to a wide array of resources related to the Department's programs, projects, and activities. The user-friendly interface ensures that the team can always stay aligned with the Department’s deliverables anytime and anywhere.
The enhanced e-LGRC (e-Local Government Resource Center) was also put in place, which is a platform designed to promote easier knowledge sharing through the Internet. This digital resource hub will facilitate the exchange of best practices, lessons learned, and valuable insights among the Department, local government units, partner National Government Agencies, Civil Society Organizations, and the general public, fostering collaboration and continuous improvement in governance.
Apart from the introduction of the new provincial-led initiatives, updates on the deliverables under the Capability Development and Monitoring and Evaluation Divisions were also relayed to ensure prompt compliance, and top Field Officers for the 4th Quarter of 2023 were duly recognized.
Overall, DILG Tarlac Provincial Director Armi V. Bactad, CESO V expressed her heartfelt appreciation on the efforts of every personnel in coming up with these exciting innovations that would hopefully result to an outstanding service delivery that is felt not only by the internal organization but most especially, our clientele.
As PD Bactad would impart, “What is really important is that we do our best in the service of the Tarlaqueños.” The entire team is looking forward to the positive impact of strengthening the connection between the government and the community, and that by leveraging the power of multimedia, technology, and knowledge sharing, we will also be a step closer to building a more informed, engaged, and empowered citizenry.
