PD Noel C. Duarte, MSPM, in his welcome address, underscored the gravity of having a strong foundation of peace and order and public safety to sustain the rapid social and economic development of the Province of Davao de Oro hence opportunities to measure and improve the local councils are always welcomed.
MLGOO Claire Ann C. Abellar, MBA, also reacquainted the provincial assessment team (PAT) with the CY 2019 and 2021 POC audit process to have a consensus in terms of appreciating the corresponding criteria and documents.
The performance gaps revealed by the POC audit will serve as a basis for crafting subsequent capacity development interventions to further bolster the capacity and performance of the Municipal Peace and Order Councils.
