Sponsors Galing Pook Awards 2015 3 Republic of the Philippines DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT Office of the Secretary M E S S A G E Congratulations to all the awardees of the 2015 Gawad Galing Pook! Over the years, the prestigious Gawad Galing Pook has been instrumental in recog- nizing excellent local governance and encouraging local government units to deliver excel- lent public service - that is innovative, effective, inclusive and forward-looking. Our LGUs have been making waves in coming out with best practices which are contributing to the global goals of ending poverty, protecting the environment, and ensuring social protection. The DILG is one with you in our common goal to uplift the quality of life of our Bosses—the Filipino people. This year’s awarding of the first Galing Pook Citizenship Award and the conduct of the first Governance Fair with the theme, “Mamamayan, Mamamayani” highlighted the value of empowering the citizenry to be part in nation-building while sending a strong mes- sage that local governance is everyone’s business. To the Galing Pook Foundation, we are honored to work with you in our steadfast promotion of excellence in participative local governance. Mabuhay! MEL SENENENEEN S.S SARMIENTOSA Secretary 4 Galing Pook Awards 2015 Greetings! On behalf of Galing Pook Foundation, let me extend our sincere thanks to our sup- portive sponsors, friends and partners in civil society, government, academe, media, business and development institutions and all those who made this year’s celebration a rousing suc- cess. This year marked a most meaningful milestone for the Galing Pook awards program, one that witnessed a joint celebration of good governance and responsible citizenship under the theme Mamamayan, Mamamayani! Aside from the regular Galing Pook Awards for outstanding local government pro- grams, we conferred the first Galing Pook Citizenship Awards to three inspiring civil society organizations. This new awards category was envisioned two years ago to give due recog- nition to what private citizens, civil society or non-government and people’s organizations are doing, often under trying circumstances, to contribute to the well-being of their specific constituencies and thus, to the development of the nation itself. How fitting it was, then, to proclaim and celebrate this year’s theme through a three- day Governance Fair, which highlighted not only models of good local governance but also the community-building initiatives of private citizens and organizations, those unsung heroes who do not leave the task of building our country solely to government. The theme for this year sends out the message that for this country to move forward, we need good governance that involves the citizens, and that we need to have citizens who engage their government to work better. Indeed, we need to work together towards making this country truly the kind that we all deserve. To all the winners and finalists of the Galing Pook Awards, congratulations! Remem- ber to carry that award with pride as you continue to face the responsibilities that come along with it. Mabuhay ang mamamayan; mamamayani tayong lahat! RAFAELAFAAEELL L.L.

    2015 Edition TESDA: The Authority in Technical Education and Skills Development Republic Act No. 7796, otherwise known as the Technical Education and Skills Development Act of 1994, declares the policy of the State to provide relevant, accessible, high quality and efficient technical education and skills development (TESD) in support of the development of high quality Filipino middle-level manpower responsive to and in accordance with Philippine development goals and priorities. The Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) is tasked to manage and supervise TESD in the Philippines. Vision TESDA is the leading partner in the development of the Filipino work- force with world-class competence and positive work values. Mission TESDA provides direction, policies, programs and standards towards quality technical education and skill development. Values Statement We believe in demonstrated competence, institutional integrity, personal commitment and deep sense of nationalism. Quality Policy "We measure our worth by the satisfaction of the customers we serve" Through: Strategic Decisions Effectiveness Responsiveness Value Adding Integrity Citizen focus Efficiency MESSAGE TESDA recognizes that whatever strides the Philippine technical vocational education and training (TVET) sector has achieved through the years cannot be solely attributed to the Agency. These accomplishments are results of the concerted efforts of all stakeholders who share the vision of developing the Filipino workforce that is armed with competencies that respond to the challenges of the new global economic landscape. The Agency therefore continues to expand and strengthen partnership with various groups and institutions. These partnerships have paved the way to improved public perception on TVET and TESDA and better opportunities to its graduates.
