Laoag
City—This city four new Sangguniang
Panlungsod members attended the Introduction to Excellence in Local Legislation
(iExcell) at the Center for Local and Governance (CLRG) of the University of
the Philippines National College of Public Administration and Governance
(UP-NCPAG) on September 5-9, 2016.
They are neophyte local
legislators Handy Lao, Roger John Fariñas, Arbee Ablan and Justine Chua.
Mr. Lao said iExcel is a
one-week course that seeks to equip newly elected local legislators with the
essential skills and confidence needed for local assemblies.
It is also a prerequisite
course in CLRGs ladderized Local Legislative Program which culminates in the
conferment of a Certificate in Local Policy Development.
Lao added that the course
would help them as newly elected legislators in formulating measures as well as
in preparations of the council’s activities and programs.
The course included lectures,
discussions, exercises and workshops and simulations of Sanggunian sessions.
Aside from this, Mr. Lao
noted that it also gave them the chance to connect with other councilors from
around the country. (Dominic B. dela Cruz)
