Ilocos Norte Governor Matthew Joseph M. Manotoc and Danao Mayor
Thomas Mark “Mix” Durano led the MOA signing at the Provincial Capitol
Auditorium along with government officials from Ilocos Norte and City of Danao.
“This is more than a sisterhood agreement. It is a friendship and
a strong everlasting bond between families and now one that has culminated in
this official MOA signing. This is an earnest and hopeful invitation for you to
come back anytime because Danaoanos will always be most welcome in Ilocos
Norte. May both the Province of Ilocos Norte and the City of Danao prosper,”
Manotoc stated.
This relationship between Ilocos Norte and the City of Danao
signifies a commitment to solidarity, friendship, and shared progress, as both
government units strive to transform and develop the Ilokano and Cebuano
communities.
Durano also commended the Provincial Government’s progress,
stating:
“There is so much to learn from Northern Luzon’s next commercial
hub, our country’s gateway to East Asia. We come on a mission to learn and
apply to our LGU your province’s best practices, especially in the field of
investment promotion, tourism management, and environmental protection.”
“We also hope to deepen our ties through the sisterhood agreement
between the province of Ilocos Norte and City of Danao. This is our commitment
to be Ilocos Norte’s partner in Cebu, as well as their ambassador in the
Visayas,” he added.
This sisterhood agreement aims for both local government units to
share their programs and best practices in local governance across multiple
sectors, particularly in investment promotions, tourism management, and
environmental protection.
PGIN department heads led Marcos Manotoc conducted a benchmarking
activity in Cebu City and Danao City on Feb. 27 to 29, 2024 as part of the
provincial government’s commitment in continuously improving the standard of
service delivery and best practices utilized in local governance. (Allyssa Charisse G. Magno)
