The Cebu Provincial government will be the pilot site for the implementation of Local Government Integrity Circle (LOGIC) Network, a mechanism to promote integrity among its offices.

Floriza Alpuerto, head of the Provincial Investment and Promotion Office (CPIPO), said they have started to craft integrity mechanisms that will be reflected in each government office in order to improve its services.

Alpuerto said the implementation of Logic will also push for the creation of an independent control office that will do an independent audit of the practices of each office.
