TACLOBAN CITY – The secretary of the Department of Interior and Local Government issued an amendment to Memorandum Circular 2010-83 through a Memorandum Circular 2011-134 in relation to Full Disclosure Policy of the government.
Thus said DILG Regional Director Pedro Noval Jr..during the weekly press forum “Express it at the Park” held at the Leyte Park Resort.
Under the amended memorandum circular, Noval said that cities and provinces are mandated to have their own websites where they have to post all transactions like biddings.
This, aside from posting their documents in three conspicuous places and published in newspaper in general circulation.
He added that local government units can also post their documents in privately-owned buildings and facilities where the public usually converge, including those owned by religious groups and chamber of commerce.
“But, they must ask for permission first from the management of the facility and the expenses or cost of installing bulletin board will be shoulder by the local government units,” Noval added.
Noval also disclosed that barangay officials are also mandated to implement the memorandum circular.
As part of their campaign to encourage LGU in implementing the Full Disclosure Policy, their agency provides incentives in the form of monetary amount.
In the region, aside from the provincial government of Leyte, other LGUs that were awarded by the DILG for implementing Full Disclosure Policy of the government were the municipalities of Biliran, Almeria, Guiuan, Alang-alang, Burauen, Jaro, Hinunangan, and Laoang, while Ormoc is the only city in the region that was given with recognition by the agency as part of their Full Disclosure Policy.
