PAGADIAN CITY – After a thorough consultation with the men and women of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Zamboanga del Sur, Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO) VI Verner Virgilio C. Jayme has recently been designated as acting provincial director for the province vice the late provincial director Abcede Asjali.

Jayme, who used to head the Local Government Monitoring and Evaluation Division (LGMED) of DILG-9, received his designation by virtue of Department Order No. 2013-524 dated July 13, 2013 issued by DILG-Central Office.

DILG-9 Regional Director Paisal O. Abutazil, who installed Jayme as acting provincial director for Zamboanga del Sur, disclosed that he also consulted Governor Antonio Cerilles as to Jayme’s designation. “We know that the only way to implement smoothly the department’s thrust is to elicit support from the local chief executives,” he stressed.

Abutazil also advised Jayme to carry out his tasks and responsibilities with utmost diligence and sincerity.

For his part, Jayme was grateful for the opportunity given him by the agency as he sought the guidance of the Almighty in pursuing the office’s mandate.

He recalled that he had practically served the entire Zamboanga Peninsula as he once served as city director of Zamboanga City and provincial director of Zamboanga Sibugay and Zamboanga del Norte.

Jayme also appealed to all employees of DILG-Zamboanga del Sur for their sincere and honest-to-goodness cooperation.

“I believe that together we could do much. With your dedication to work and sense of responsibility, I am optimistic that working in unison we could spell the difference,” Jayme declared.

Replacing Jayme as LGMED chief was Local Government Capacity Development Division (LGCD) chief Gina Vaño Uy. (PIA9)
