Improving public sector management and making headway

Social and political criticisms






I was in an Eastern Visayas city, west of the island.  It is a port city and located in a cove and that it means it is a safe harbor, and plenty of marine life for food.  It is in the RORO route also.

However, I believe that the LGU management, especially town planning, town beatufiication, further health and sanitation can be improved.

Am sure the DILG can send many of the public officials to MPA as it did to some before to improve the LGU executive and entrepreneurial skills so that they can keep up churning new ideas to improve the uniqueness, attractiveness of their LGU, and thus business activities, and consequently their revenues.

Unfortunately for the city, a mother and son team (mother is head of the province, son of the city) with Chinese sounding name would seem to lord it over, thus diminishing the need to improve.
