The Primeval LightEnlightenment and the eternal quest for magnificence
has neither bounds nor shadow outside it – that
limitless light is everywhere within it. Our cover is a
boundless vision of the looming future that we seek;
the future that we dream for our local communities
and for every Filipino. The ancient brilliance that
radiates in the bancas that were fashioned by our
nation’s forefathers still reflects in the spirit and
aspirations of every modern Filipino. That selfsame
seed is embodied in the values of pagkakaisa,
pakikilahok and pagpupunyagi which would surely
steer us and bring us farther in our quest for not
only local but global peace and prosperity. Likewise,
the undying flame of bayanihan will clear our path
towards our own national progress.

As the DILG’s training arm for local government units and the Department personnel, we are glad that the Local Government Academy in 2011 has aligned its plans and programs with the Department priority outcome areas on Empowered and Accountable LGUs, Disaster-Resilient LGUs, Competitive and Business-Friendly LGUs , Conflict-Free and Safe Communities, and Strengthened Internal Governance both for the DILG and LGA.
This alignment with the Department priorities augurs well to create the needed synergy in local governance initiatives that highlight Participation, Accountability, Responsiveness & Transparency (PART) which is the same core message we have conveyed in the Biyaheng Pinoy Program and in our strategic direction to move forward more importantly through empowered and accountable LGUs.
Good local governance demands that we should have disaster-resilient LGUs that proactively respond to natural and man-made disasters that defy accurate predictions. The Climate Change Adaptation Act and the Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Act are but just two of these laws that focus on the readiness and resilience of LGUs in times of calamities. LGA has responded to this call via its capacity development interventions to the LGUs and Department personnel as well.
We take note of the role the LGA played in spearheading the Business Permitting and Licensing System for LGUs. In this program, together with the DTI and other development partners, LGUs are now advancing towards being business-friendly and competitive in attracting investors for economic development.
MESSAGE from the Secretary
Local Government Academy 2011 Annual Report

Promoting conflict-free and safe communities is a key ingredient to national development and even for the tourism industry to flourish. We recognize the orientation workshops done by LGA on crisis management along this concern.
We hope that LGUs will continue to avail of capacity development interventions that LGA offers. This is the Department commitment for excellence in local governance, through our training arm, the LGA .
Congratulations to LGA for this splendid and milestone accomplishment.

Once again, the Local Government Academy (LGA) has had a year of
success. And for that, I would like to congratulate LGA for actively
capacitating local government units towards good local governance.
I admire how LGA can easily cope with the constant changes in its
environment and with the varying requisites that its stakeholders ask
for. The efforts that LGA exerted in 2011 are significantly effective in
enhancing LGUs capacities enabling them to deliver services to the
people and to be the nation’s dynamic partner towards progress and
development.
LGA was able to fine tune and successfully implement Capacity Development programs
emphasizing the tenets of good governance – acc ountability, transparency, sense of ownership
and informed decision through participation and collective action. These interventions did not
only stimulate transformation in LGUs but also made impact in the lives of the Filipinos.
As we look forward to a brighter future for our LGUs and the nation, I encourage LGA to scale
greater heights – strong, clear, and committed in its pursuit. With the continuous support from
its partners and stakeholders and with a defined path towards progress and good governance,
LGA will surely conquer the upward journey to success.

Message from the Undersecretary for Local Government
Local Government Academy 2011 Annual Report

The Local Government Academy (LGA) had challenging yet fruitful
2011. More than ever, we have aligned and focused our tasks with the
priority thrusts of the Department; and implemented programs that
empower and promote accountable LGUs, develop disaster-resilient,
competitive and business-friendly LGUs; and make communities
conflict-free and safe.
We stood fast in keeping up with our mandate in leading and assisting
local officials to be dynamic partners in national development through
the Barangay Newly-Elected Officials (BNEO) Program, in promoting
transparency, accountability and participation among different governance stakeholders, in
enhancing LGUs capacities in disaster risk reduction and management and climate change
adaptation, and in establishing a business-friendly climate in every LGU through the Nationwide
Streamlining of Business Permits and Licensing Systems (BPLS). It was also during the year that
we have celebrated 20 years of local autonomy brought about by the Local Government Code of
1991 and embarked on a collaborative journey towards “Bayang Maunlad,” through the Biyaheng
Pinoy program.
Internal capacity development programs were also conducted to support the DILG in undertaking
its new role as enabler and facilitator in local governance. For LGA to remain steadfast to its
mandate and goals, it continued in bringing out the full potential of its human resource, in
improving its organizational competencies and in strengthening partnerships and linkages.
LGA has been in service for over two decades now and our triumphs and accomplishments
would not have been possible if not for the unwavering support of our partners and stakeholders
coupled with our own personnel’s commitment and dedication to good local governance. In the
coming years, the focus of our efforts will be on blazing new trails in good governance leading to
that future we have always dreamt of – the achievement of a genuine and more meaningful local
autonomy bringing out peaceful, safe, self-reliant, and development-dominated communities.
Together, let us build a brighter future for our local governments, our people and for our country.

CSO mapping involved the development of a knowledge base of all CSOs working with LGUs.
There were four batches of trainings held from April-May 2011 attended by DILG Cluster
Leaders and CSO representatives from Regions 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 (1st batch); Regions 1, 2, NCR
(2nd batch); Regions 3, 4B, 6,8, CAR (3rd batch); and, Regions 4A, 5 (4th batch). As a result
of the activities, 16 workplans for the CSO Mapping were developed by the 16 regions who
participated in the trainings.
The drafting of CSO mapping tools such as the
profiling tool, TNA, and volunteer assessment
were done in the earlier part of 2011. Thereafter,
the tools were pre-tested in Bicol and CARAGA
(SLGP pilot sites), in March 2011, to assess
its applicability for the nationwide CSO
mapping/survey. A total of thirteen (13) CSOs
participated in the pre-test: 7 in Bicol and 6 in
CARAGA. Respondents were subdivided into 5
groups – civic organizations, non-government
organizations, people’s organizations,
homeowner’s associations and cooperatives - to further facilitate the conduct of the pre-test to
multiple sample populations. The conduct of the nationwide survey was done between May to
August 2011. Results of the CSO mapping is now available in electronic format, and will also be
made available in printed format in 2012.
In preparation for the roll-out of the Strengthening Local Special Bodies (LSBs) - the component
aimed at improving access of CSOs to local governance through improvements in policy - a
pilot-run of the said training was conducted in September. Participated by 16 representatives
from LSBs and selected DILG regional offices, the activity resulted in the enhancement of three
(3) training modules. These modules were then applied in the Training of Trainers (TOT) for the
LSB Strengthening Program, where a pool of 42-strong trainers was organized.
On the Volunteer and Citizenship Program, development of the component framework is on-
going, with technical assistance from the European Union (EU). The framework is expected to
be finalized by the end of December 2011.
The development of the LG Watch component framework is likewise ongoing, also with
technical assistance from the EU. A consultation workshop was held on 9 November 2011 at
the LGA to present the initial design of the Citizen’s Satisfaction Index System (CSIS) which is
part of the LG Watch framework. Recommendations on the enhancement of the CSIS in terms
of content, scope and implementation strategies were consolidated from the partners during
the workshop. Also, a consultative conference on LG Watch project was held on 6-7 December
2011 at Bayview Hotel, Manila to present the LG watch program and solicit inputs from the
participants to enhance its concept framework and components. All activities under LG watch
were managed and funded by BLGS through its CSO Partnership Unit.

The project is aimed at assisting LGUs in setting up minimum response mechanisms against
HIV/AIDS, which include IEC and advocacy, program management and coordination, institution
building and networking. It is expected to enhance partnership and capacity for strengthened
prevention and care initiatives for vulnerable populations through interventions such as
Commitment in Action: Addressing HIV and AIDS at the Regional level, Champions as partners
Towards Effective and Sustained Responses to HIV and AIDS, Orientation of Local Chief
Executives to Effect Regional AIDS Assistance Teams (RAATS), Sub-National Institutions and LGU
Collaboration, LGU-MSM/TG Community Dialogues, and Support to LGU-MSM Collaboration
and Activities to Hot Spot Regions.
For the year 2011, capacity
building activities for
target LGUs’ advocacy and
implementation of local-
based actions resulted in the
(1) organization of a pool of
51 regional champions, (2)
enhanced capacities of officials
and functionaries of 4 LGUs on
HIV-AIDS agenda localization,
(3) crafting of 9 LGU action
plans to integrate HIV-AIDS
concerns in local agenda,
programs and activities, and (4) pledge of commitment of 2 LGUs to sustain efforts in HIV-AIDS.
Meanwhile, capacity building interventions for RAATs resulted in the (1) organization of 3 RAATs
per region, (2) enhanced capacities of 15 RAATs to localize the AIDS-Medium Term Plan, and (3)
formulation of 15 regional action plans to localize the AIDS-MTPs.
Also in 2011, initiatives of the project management team and the Department’s technical
working group toward the formulation of the DILG policy on HIV-AIDS prevention led to the
issuance of a Memorandum Circular on the implementation of STI, HIV and AIDS Prevention
and Control Policy Program in DILG and its attached agencies.

The Strengthening of Local Governments in the Philippines Program is a collaboration between
the DILG-LGA and the Spanish Government through AECID, as part of continuing efforts to
strengthen the capacities of the LGUs in creating a business-friendly environment that fosters a
sustainable climate for financing and investment.
The SLGP project development objective is to contribute to the strengthening process of
the institutional capacity of LGUs with the aim of promoting development policies and
projects that improve the community residents’ quality of life and contribute to reducing
the vulnerability of the most disadvantaged groups. A distinct feature of SLGP Phase III is
its infrastructure component that will complement the capability building interventions
implemented in the early phases of the project. Likewise, this affords the LGU an opportunity to
implement public works projects that were prioritized in the local development plans, and that
will redound to the well being of their constituency particularly the vulnerable groups.

The year 2011 marks the 20th year of local autonomy brought about by the Local
Government Code.
In celebration of the local governance milestones achieved, the DILG and LGA joined the
League of Local Governments in spearheading the celebratory activities under the banner of
Biyaheng Pinoy.
Launched in October 2010, Biyaheng Pinoy is a year-long program that featured a series of local
governance related activities aimed at achieving broader valuation of local autonomy towards
national development and increased awareness of the general public on local governance
issues. These include dialogues, fora and exhibits held at the regional and national level, and
a media campaign to further promote the program. Culminating the celebratory program
was a three-day festivity on October 9-11, 2011 that featured a governance forum, bicycle
tour, nationwide simultaneous barangay assemblies and awarding ceremonies of governance
excellence programs. These activities resulted in the identification of policy recommendation
and proposed legislative agenda, and the production of various IEC materials. More
importantly, because of its relevance to the thrust of the national government administration,
the Biyaheng Pinoy that was started as a program to commemorate the LGC Anniversary has
turned into a movement for good local governance.

Enhancing LGU Capacity in Disaster Risks Reduction and Management and Climate Change Adaptation
The Climate Change Act (RA 9729) and DRRM Act (RA 10121) provide for capacity development
programs for CCA and disaster preparedness. With the responsibilities brought by these laws,
the LGA together with the DILG operating units and regional offices have laid down a menu
of interventions within
a three-component
framework comprised of
Diagnostics, Advocacy
and Institutional
Development, and
Infrastructure and Access
to Financing.
In 2011, LGA’s
interventions focused
on the advocacy and
institutional development
of LGUs. In January, a two-day international conference on CCA for Local Economic
Development (LED) was held which was attended by 225 participants from LGUs as well as
local and international development partners. The informative discussions during the activity
resulted to recommendations on addressing gaps in capacity building initiatives at the local
level through LED.
Following the international conference is the conduct of trainings on CCA and DRR. LGA
conducted the activities Basic Orientation on CCA and Action Planning and the Basic
Orientation on DRR-CCA which were attended by 348* LGU participants from 60 LGUs.

Nationwide Streamlining of Business Permits and Licensing Systems (BPLS)
The BPLS program establishes a “business friendly climate” in every LGU and aids in attracting
and encouraging businesses to apply for business licenses hence resulting to improved
revenue generation for both the LGU and the nation. The BPLS program streamlines the BPLS
in as many LGUs as possible nationwide, sets minimum service standards for LGUs, develops
capacity building program for BPLS streamlining, organizes government agencies at the
regional level to work with LGUs in implementing the BPLS reforms, harnesses private sector
support and participation for BPLS reforms and harmonizes different reform initiatives by
development partners on BPLS streamlining.
As currently formulated by DTI and DILG, the program is composed of five components,(1)
Mobilizing Champions for the BPLS Reform Process; (2) Simplification and Standardization
of the BPLS Process; (3) Computerization of the BPLS Process; (4) Institutionalization; and (5)
Improvement in Customer Relations.
For 2011, efforts were focused on the simplification of the BPLS process. Below is the table on
the status of implementation of the BPLS Streamlining Program as of December 31, 2011.

Aside from the target LGUs, a number of non-target LGUs has also joined in the BPLS streamlining
effort. These LGUs and the status of their undertaking is reflected in the following table.
As of December 31, 2011; a total of 616 LGUs have been given training on how to streamline
their BPLS, 437 of which are included in the priority or target LGUs. Of the 437 LGUs, 266 have
already completed their streamlining process and are currently applying it while 156 are
currently undergoing reforms in their processes. In addition, there are 15 target LGUs which
underwent training but have yet to start implementing reforms. Of the 480, 43 LGUs have yet
to be given BPLS training and commence streamlining their registration process.
Aside from the target LGUs,
there are also 179 non-target
LGUs which received BPLS
training, 56 of which have
completed their streamlining
process while 123 are
currently undergoing reforms.
In an effort to fast-track the
streamlining of BPLS of target
LGUs in its area, Region IVA
requested LGA to conduct a
Coaches’ Training. The activity
trained 23 additional coaches from the DILG, DTI and Academe.
To ensure that the figures submitted to the LGA are consistent with the actual status of LGU
streamlining, validation activities were conducted in select Regions from Regions III, V, X, XI, XII
and CARAGA in the 2nd and 3rd Quarters of 2011. Data were collected from a total of 25 LGUs.
To support program efforts, the LGA with the support of World Bank’s IFC-Philippines has
also embarked on an initiative to establish a more robust M&E system that will allow for more
efficient collection of updates on component initiatives.

Strengthening Local Governance Resource Centers as Harmonizing Mechanism for Effective Local Governance in the Philippines (LGRC Strengthening)
The Local Governance Resource Center (LGRC) is a dynamic, interactive and virtual program
that contributes to making the DILG as a knowledge centric organization, and builds learning
communities that pursue local governance excellence through knowledge sharing and
innovation. It is envisioned as a mechanism to harmonize effective local governance in the
Philippines through its components capacity development, linkage, multi-media, and public
education and citizenship building.
There are seventeen (17) regional
LGRCs (LGRRCs) that have been
organized across the country;
majority of which are now
operational. The Local Governance
National Resource Center (LGNRC)
which serves as the network
operations center of the LGRRCs
and facilitates the exchange among
local governance sector, partners
and stakeholders at the national
and local level is located at the LGA
Training Center in Los Baños, Laguna.
With the LGRC’s strategic role in the advancement of local governance, development partners
such as the European Union and the World Bank have committed their support in the
enhancement of the LGRRCs, with the goal of strengthening these as harmonizing mechanism
for effective local governance.
Interventions for the first semester of 2011 resulted in the (1) organization of core teams
as well as multi-stakeholder advisory councils for all 17 LGRRCs, (2) formulation of regional
knowledge capital plans, and (3) the establishment of an Integrated Library Management
System. In March, a National Convention of LGRRCs, “Revving Up LGRCs: The Engineering of
Good Local Governance” gathered the LGRRC core teams resulting in the development of work
and financial plans from April 2011 to September 2012. Also, in mid-May to early June, the LGA
conducted two (2) batches of a 5-day training on Website Development and Management.
During the training, LGRRC IT Specialists were equipped with appropriate technical skills

in developing and managing their own LGRRC websites. Enhanced LGRRC websites were
expected to be made available to public by August 2011.
For the second semester, two (2) training activities were conducted. In July, a leadership
enhancement and competency training was conducted for the LGRRC managers. Of the 17
managers, 13 participated in the training, all of whom were expected to prepare their Personal
Leadership Development Plan. At the moment, 1 such plan has been submitted. Meanwhile,
in August a training program for enhancing the LGRRC capacity to conduct KM Audits was
launched. The said training is primarily aimed at developing a pool of KM Audit Facilitators/
Coaches. Initial training activity held in August oriented LGRRC focal persons on the principles
and rudiments of KM Audit. This led to the preparation of regional action plans for the conduct
of KM activities and the actual conduct of regional KM Audits. The training program has also
allowed for the preparation of a KM Audit Guide, which will help in the conduct of future KM
audit activities.

RBME Training for DILG
In 2010, the LGA with the support of the PAHRDF of the AusAID, adopted the results-based
monitoring and evaluation (RBME) framework for its programs and projects to ensure that all
interventions produce the results needed by our primary clients the LGUs. Recognizing the
need to do the same, the DILG Central Office through Asec. Rolando Acosta, put to task the
Planning Service and LGA to orient the bureaus, offices and service units of the Central Office
and likewise the Regional Offices on the RBME. This cooperation led to the conduct of a series
of orientation sessions and workshops from July to October for the development of the results
chains of the Department’s programs.

HRMD Plan for DILG
This program aims to assist the DILG in developing its comprehensive HRMD Plan to support
the implementation of its change agenda reflected in the DILG Rationalization Plan. The
output - the Human Resources Management and Development (HRMD) Plan of DILG identifies
capacity development priorities to ensure that the Department’s manpower complement
possesses the capacities required to contribute meaningfully to the efficient and effective
achievement of the DILG’s defined outcomes. The implementation of the HRMD Plan is
expected to greatly contribute to improve the agency’s institutional capacities.
In 2011, the Philippine Australia Human Resource and Organizational Development Facility
(PAHRDOF) identified DILG as a key partner organization (KPO). As a KPO, DILG gained access
to HR and OD interventions that they need based on an organizational assessment conducted
by the facility. More so, DILG through LGA has started training cluster leaders and regional
offices on the Change Agenda. Since the HRMD Plan must be inclined with the Change
Agenda, several revisions on the HRMD Plan for DILG’s program design has been made. So far,
a draft program design with PAHRODF as LGA’s partner in this endeavor was prepared and a
proposal to PAHRDOF was sent. Draft activity designs for Component 1 -- TWG Orientation and
Component 2 – a 5-Day Residential Training, complete with session flow have likewise been
prepared.

The Local Government Academy has been evolving, throughout its 23 year history, to meet
the changing requirements and the dynamic landscape of local governance in the country. We
are grateful to our partners for their untiring support to our noble undertakings that cultivate
a culture of individual and organizational excellence. More than ever, our collaborations with
local governance stakeholders have gotten stronger to meet our goals and advance local
government capacity development in the Philippines. LGA’s mission is premised on the beliefs
that local governments are the key to national progress; that LGUs has the power to transform
our communities; and that it helps define our society now and for future generations.
Our Strategic Advantages
LGA has several key advantages that support in fulfilling its mission and addressing new
opportunities and challenges. Foremost among these advantages is the ability of LGA to
operate given a wide-array of varying conditions and realms simultaneously:
• As a national government agency under
the DILG it serves as a knowledge hub
that sets the trends and standards on local
institutional development by supporting and
maintaining a competitive and robust pool of
human resources;
• As the market-maker it brings together and
leads a network of local resource institutions
to coordinate and catalyse actions in the
supply-side of the capacity development
arena.
• As a non-profit organization it develops and implements effective programs and
services with public, non-government, ODA and private sector support.
• As an Asia-Pacific and international partner it develops and acquire benchmarks on
good local governance practices and creates various opportunities for collaboration in
the global community
Furthermore, LGA easily copes with the changing terrain and needs in the local government
capacity development market; notwithstanding imminent challenges in its operating
environment; and regardless of shifts in the political spectrum in the country.
Our Prospects
For 2012, we envision a Local Government Academy that:
OUTLOOK FOR 2012
Local Government Academy 2011 Annual Report
61
• Remains vital and steadfast in support to the continued and growing needs of LGUs to
create impact at the community and household level;
• Builds on strategic and organizational strengths through dynamic partnerships,
sustaining what is working, and value-adding to existing programs while
complementing the efforts of other government and non-government organizations;
• Expands resources and enhances its organizational capacity.
Furthermore, LGA endeavours to leverage on the capacity development market that will:
• Promote a vibrant, strong and diverse organizations adhering to benchmarks and
standards of excellence;
• Support a thriving environment of transparency and accountability;
• Encourage trust and create access for participation in local governance;
• Promote communication and knowledge exchange among local governance
practitioners, reinforcing their capacity to develop, work, link to local and international
expertise across sector-specific concerns, and
• Ensure sustainability and institutionalization of technology, mechanisms and tools.
This 2012, we pursue a renewed vigour towards this direction. We will once again rely on
inclusive and dynamic leadership; strong and pro-active human resources; and committed
partners on our continuing quest to being the premier capacity development institution for
excellence in local governance.

Tamang palakad, yan ang adhikain
Sa bayang maunlad, ito ang mithiin
Sa dalawang dekada ng pagpapayaman ng kodigong gabay ng ating bayan
Biyaheng pinoy ang kasama, sa lokal na pamamahala
Biyaheng pinoy, tapat na palakad sa bayang maunlad
Biyaheng pinoy, ang pag asa, hangad ng bawat isa
Ang biyaheng pinoy ay maglalakbay, gamit ang isang balangay
Upang buong bayan ay malibot, at tapat na palakad ay maipaabot
Ang biyaheng pinoy ay tumatahak, sa daang matuwid at matiyak
Balangay ang siyang gabay, ng ating bansang matagumpay
Halina ating samahan, biyaheng pinoy sa kaunlaran
Nang ating makita, lalong pag-unlad ng ating bayan
Biyaheng pinoy, tapat na palakad sa bayang maunlad
Biyaheng pinoy, ang pag asa, hangad ng bawat isa
Sulong, o sulong, mga lokal na pamahalaan
Sulong, o sulong, para sa ating inang bayan
Biyaheng pinoy, tapat na palakad sa bayang maunlad
Biyaheng pinoy, ang pag asa, hangad ng bawat isa
Biyaheng pinoy, tapat na palakad sa bayang maunlad
Biyaheng pinoy, ang pag asa, ay abot kamay na
