(SDN) — Officers of the Ministry of the Interior and Local Government (MILG) have just made a “historic” achievement.
This is according to MILG Minister Naguib G. Sinarimbo after 86 of the ministry’s officers completed their training provided by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
Various stages covered the training with experts from the national government. It took more than 24 months to complete. They have finished it at last.
“Finally, after over two years of training, examinations, simulation exercises, supervised field immersion, a total of 86 Local Government Operations Officers of the MILG graduated,” Sinarimbo said of the Batch 52-A (Sindaw) trainees.
“These trainees were drawn from across the provinces of the region and their only passport in entering the ministry was competence and commitment.”
Sinarimbo, spokesman of the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (BARMM), emphasized the training which the DILG’s Local Government Academy (LGA) conducted “in partnership with our ministry, is historic.”
He recalled how it all took seed, the training, that is.
“In October of 2019, I sought the assistance of the LGA in training applicants of our Ministry. This birthed a partnership which we are truly proud of. During the course of the training, I have been privileged to gain the support of DILG Secretary Eduardo Año in mobilizing the entire department to provide seasoned trainors and resource persons from across the different regions of the country. I am truly grateful to LGA and the DILG for this partnership and the opportunity to collaborate.”
Sinarimbo added, “I am equally indebted to the Chief Minister Al-Haj Murad Ebrahim and the Senior Minister Abdulraof Macacua who both believed and supported this endeavour.”
Apparently, now that the MILG executives have completed their training they will be at the forefront in helping local government units (LGUs) under BARMM.
“These graduates, whom I am mighty proud of, will constitute the core of the bureaucracy of the MILG. Given their training and the values instilled in them, I am more confident now that we can transform, not just this ministry, but the LGUs which they will assist, thereby optimizing the service delivery of LGUs in the region. This will all redound to the benefit of our people.”
Sinarimbo’s MILG is one of the line agencies of the Bangsamoro parliamentary government, a creation of the Comprehensive Agreement on the Bangsamoro (CAB) of 2014, which in turn is a product of 17 years Mindanao peace process between the Philippine government and the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (✓)
