(The following article was published in West Leyte Weekly Express in its January 16-22, 2012 issue. Pictures are supplemented by the administrator.)Good things are happening in Calubian, that sleepy municipality in north-western Leyte isolated from the rest of the island by a poor road network. Despite this drawback, the local government unit (LGU) through the able leadership of Mayor Doroteo Palconit is working hard to bring progress to this 4th class town.(Photo shown is Mr Dignos, Mun. Agriculturist, one of the awardee, giving the award was Hon. Palconit assisted by Judge Melchor from Mun. Circuit Trial Court)
For one, the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) stamped the LGU with the Seal of Good Housekeeping, making it a recipient of P10.7 million which will be spent for the town's priority projects including the improvement of its water system.
Mayor Palconit is also improving the LGU's services like the opening of a customers' lounge in the town hall to help clients finish their transactions as soon as possible so they no longer have to come back. He is also looking for an information technology provider to computerize their services in compliance with the DILG's directive.(Photo shown are all the LGU Calubian awardee headed by Hon Doroteo Palconit who received the Seal of Good Housekeeping).Mayor Palconit thanks other government officials for helping his town like Gov. Carlos Jericho L. Petilla who pledged a farm-to-market road project and 3rd Dist. Rep. Andres Salvacion who promised to repair their gymnasium and build a building for the Liga ng mga Barangay.
