The honorees of “Pasidungog 2022” held on December 5 included the Provincial Governor’s Office represented by Atty. Bret Monsanto, Provincial Legal Office represented by Atty. Flornelio Ediza, and Provincial Information Office represented by Paula Joy Mendoza.
“With impeccable synergy and convergence, we have gone a long way. We have dedicated this momentous occasion to honor our trusted partner offices — government agencies and organizations — that have traveled the extra mile in assisting the DILG Cebu Province in the implementation of our programs and initiatives in 2022,” said DILG Provincial Director Atty. Ian Kenneth Lucero.
“We may have diverse fields of action, but certainly we share the same purpose, and this is to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of local governance; and thereby improve the lives of the people we serve,” he added.
Monsanto, executive assistant to Governor Gwendolyn Garcia, thanked the DILG for the honor and even cited an African proverb relevant to the event: “If you want to go fast, you must go alone; but if you want to go far, you have to go together.”
“Surely under our great governor’s indomitable will and insurmountable spirit, we can go very far,” he said. (Eleanor Valeros)
