Nabas, a western municipality of Aklan leading to Caticlan, the jump-off point to the world-famous Boracay Island, has seemingly cornered several major regional awards given by the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) 6 and other award-giving agencies recently.
One much-coveted award the town has cornered is for the Best Performing Local Government Operations Officer V in the region for 2005, given to Emmie Macogue-Cawaling, the Municipal Local Government Operations Officer (MLGOO) of Nabas. Cawaling bested all other LGOOs in the region vying for the award.
Cawaling’s collegues at DILG-Aklan said she was cited for initiating innovations in Nabas town that motivated barangay officials to submit much-needed reports on time and on regular basis.
As a regional awardee, DiLG-Aklan said Cawaling would compete for the same award in the national level.
Another regional award received by Nabas is for the Best Barangay Tanod Individual Category, given to Chief Tanod Ed T. Sabigon of Barangay Union, Nabas. The award was given by the Regional Search Committee composed of the DILG, the Philippine National Police (PNP), the Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP) and the PNPA Regional Offices.
On the other hand, for the town’s effective implementation of the Early Childhood Development Program (ECCD)), Nabas was also awarded as the Best Performing Local Government Unit for 2005. The award was given by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), Department of Education (DepEd), Department of Health (DOH) and the Council for the Protection of Children in the region.
Outside Nabas, one other regional award received by the province is the Best Model Gabay Sa Mamamayan Aksyon Center (GMAC) 2005 Rural Category, received by Brgy. Odiong, Altavas, Aklan.
GMAC is a barangay-based and barangay focused facility, which serves as an information action center to ensure people’s immediated access to information on government services (PIA/DILG)
