Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Ismael Sueno has ordered local government employees to shape up as he rallied all local chief executives (LCEs) to check on strict compliance of all public officers and employees within their respective jurisdictions. “The government catalyzes change… How can that be possible if government employees are not reporting to work or are habitually absent or tardy? “It is not only monetary corruption and red tape that we must clean the government of but just as important is cleaning the acts of government employees,” Sueno added. Meanwhile, municipalities or component cities will be reporting to their respective provincial governors, copy-furnished their DILG Provincial Directors. Highly urbanized cities, independent component cities and or provincial governments will be required to submit a quarterly report to their DILG Regional Directors, copy-furnished the DILG Secretary.
