PGIN reopens “Saguip Nars”

By


Laoag City—As fulfillment of Ilocos Norte Governor Matthew Joseph M. Manotoc’s campaign promise “to improve, to equip, and to better staff” district hospitals and health units in the province, the Provincial Government of Ilocos Norte (PGIN) through the Provincial Public Employment Service Office (PESO) reopens the application for the first batch of “Saguip Nars” Program starting on December 2, until December 13, 2019.

“Saguip Nars” was introduced early in 2014 with the objective of providing work experience to new Ilokano registered nurses who lack professional clinical experience. However, the program was put on hiatus in 2018 due to budgetary constraints.

“To address the scarcity of nurses and healthcare providers as well as to encourage our nurses to work for our province, Governor Marcos Manotoc sees the need to bring back the ‘Saguip Nars’ since one of his top priority programs is the improvement of our health sector,” information officer II Rhona Ysabel Daoang explained.

For the first batch, PESO has opened 50 slots.

Interested applicants are required to pass their application letter addressed to the governor; resume; photocopy of transcript of records, board rating, Professional Regulation Commission card; school diploma; and one copy of 2x2 ID picture at the PESO. A qualifying examination and interview will follow.   

The first batch of “Saguip Nars” is expected to render six months of service from January 16 to July 17, 2020. They will be deployed at the Governor Roque B. Ablan, Sr. Memorial Hospital, various district hospitals, Ilocos Norte Sports Development Office, and Provincial Disaster Risk Reduction Management and Resiliency Office.

Application process for the second batch will start on May 4, 2020 with the same number of beneficiaries. (Blessing Angel V. Agliam)

By
MARCOS, Ilocos Norte—Taking pride of this town ’s favorite Ilo cano dish, locally known as pinakbet, a mix of indigenous vegetables steamed in fish sauce, residents here ushered the opening of the third Pinakbet festival. “Pinakbet” came from the contracted Ilokano word ‘pinakebbet ’ which means “ shrunk ” or “shriveled.” As a way of thanksgiving, the Pinakbet festival is a repository of the town ’ s “ani” [harvest] festival being celebrated every month of March but this was later moved to December to accommodate more balikbayans wanting to join the festivity. Residents in this agricultural town derived most of their income from the harvest of high value crops, including rice, tobacco and corn as staple crops. This year, the week-long festivity highlighted a grand parade around the town plaza and a pinakbet cook fest at the municipal gymnasium to showcase the best pinakbet in town. A boodle fight followed suit. Earlier, a fun run was participated by various groups ...
