MANDAUE CITY, Philippines — The Mandaue City government has conducted a revalida or a governance forum to monitor the city and its departments’ performances.
Genee Nuñez, head of the Office of the Strategy Management, said the revalida started on Monday, February 21 and lasted yesterday, February 24.
The revalida is part of the city’s governance mechanism called the Performance Governance System (PGS), the city’s governance tool to monitor Mandaue’s performance.
Nuñez said the city would also be able get feedback from the external holders.
She said the city envisioned becoming a resilient city by 2027 and they had set strategic objectives with their own respective road maps, measures, and deliverables.
She said through PGS they would be able to monitor the performance of the departments, its employees, and their accomplishments.
She said in revalida, each department would lay down and explain its achievements and objectives, and there would be panelists, who are experts in their fields, that would give feedback and grades.
” [To know] if what we are doing is in the right track and if how we can improve it para sad ang atoang mga initiatives dinhi sa siyudad pwede nato ma tweak, ma recalibrate nga mas ma impactful siya,” said Nuñez.
([To know] if what we are doing is in the right track, and if how we can improve and that this is also for our initiatives in the city that we may be able to tweak them, recalibrate them so that they may be more impactful.)
She said, the mechanism, in a way, would encourage investors to do business in Mandaue as the city would be committed to its strategic initiatives and would be open-minded.
The mechanism that is Mayor Jonas Cortes’ initiative was first implemented in 2012 but ended around 2017 and 2018.
She said one of the milesstones during the first run was when they were awarded by Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation a grant for the Low Carbon Model Town (LCMT) where they did a feasibility study for the city which they had been using now to improve the mobility and the environment.
Another success during the first run was the strategic initiative in creating a state-of-the-art command center.
She said once the grade would be given, they would be posting it on their Facebook page so that the public would know the departments’ performances.
