The Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte along with the Sangguniang Panlalawigan have stepped up to ask all active non-government organizations and civil society organizations to apply for accreditation.

Ilocos Norte Vice Governor Eugenio Angelo M. Barba said new and existing NGOs are urged to apply for accreditation to have a legal identity to participate with local government units’ special bodies.

On November 18, several NGOs have submitted their application for accreditation at the Sangguniang Panlalawigan with duly accomplished form for accreditation including other pertaining documents such as certificate of registration and the purpose of representation in the local special body.

Also, the organization is required to submit a list of current officers and members, annual accomplishment report for the immediately preceding year, as well as a financial statement.

The financial statement must be signed by the organization’s executive officers, also of the immediately preceding year. It should also indicate other information such as source of fund(s).

In Memo Circular No. 2013-70, the Department of Interior and Local Government unit has called for a stricter accreditation and re-accreditation of all NGOs to promote transparency and discourage using “bogus” NGOs as what transpired in the controversial pork barrel scam.
