Piddig, Ilocos Norte—The municipal government of
Piddig bagged the cleanest, safest and greenest local
government unit (LGU) award under the class A municipal category during the
recently concluded provincial search in 2014.
For the first time, the
Piddig government under the administration of Mayor Eduardo Guillen won the
overall championship, after he effectively transformed a once laid back
municipality into a growing agri-business and eco-tourism sector, being the
host of the first Regional Convergence Initiative (RCI) for the largest
coffee farm development in the making.
In a letter addressed to Mr. Guillen,
Regional Development Council I vice chairperson Nestor G. Rillon, who is also the
current regional director of National Economic Development Authority (NEDA)
said the municipality of Piddig shall represent Ilocos Norte in the 2015
regional search for the cleanest, safest and greenest municipality in Region 1.
Set on March 18,
evaluators are expected to be in Piddig for the actual validation of the
LGU-related programs, including a 15-20 minutes power point presentation.
According to Mr. Guillen, his
administration is committed to deliver its mission to become a premier hub of
agriculture modernization and eco-tourism development in support of the
provincial and national government agenda for peace and development.
Regardless of the award, the
Piddig government continues to sustain its cleanliness program covering all
government buildings, schools, public parks, public comfort rooms, public
market, slaughter house, sewerage systems, sanitary landfill, zero-waste
management program, water canals, and other landmarks.
At the same time, the
municipality continue to hold regular peace and order council meeting including
the implementation of integrated public safety plan, crime statistics and crime
prevention programs, road hazards prevention program among others.
