PAGADIAN CITY – Ms. Dishie Lauron, one of the participants in the recently concluded
Local Government Operations Officer Training conducted by the Local Government
Academy (LGA) in Koronadal City, was ranked 6th among her batch
mates.
Department of Interior
and Local Government (DILG)-9 Regional Director Paisal O. Abutazil recognized
Lauron’s feat in a recent regional conference, saying: “We salute you in
putting the name of DILG-9 in the limelight from a year-long training of Local
Government Operations Officers.”
Lauron was among the
337 trainees from all over the country comprising the 47th batch
that underwent one year training on local governance.
DILG-9 awarded Lauron a
Plaque of Recognition which was personally handed to her by Director Abutazil
and Assistant Regional Director Pedro G. Cuevas Jr.
“I really do not expect
it. What I prayed is just to pass (the training) but it’s more than enough. I
asked only for ‘pandesal’ (bread), but the Heavens gave me hamburger,” said
Lauron with tears of joy in her eyes.
Lauron failed to attend
the graduation rites at Los Baños, Laguna as she is now on the family way.
“It really came to me a
great surprise,” she quipped.
She also expressed her
thanks to the management for giving her the opportunity to be trained on local
governance.
Her co-participants
from DILG-9 were Chandiramani Obut, Philip Cuevas and Junil Cabahug.
