Bacolod City – Mayor Greg Gasataya signed two executive orders upon his assumption to office as local chief executive of the city.
Executive Order No. 1 establishes the Senior Citizen Center in Bacolod City, and Executive Order No. 2 directs all city government personnel to return to their respective mother units/original plantilla assignments.
The Senior Citizen Center will be operated under the direct supervision of the City Mayor’s Office in coordination with the Department of Social Services and Development (DSSD), and Office for Senior Citizens Affairs (OSCA). The city government will allocate adequate personnel, equipment, and budget for its operation and maintenance, it said.
The funding requirements for establishment and continued operation of the Senior Citizen Center will be sourced primarily from the City Mayor’s Office, and such other identified available funds, the order said.
Meanwhile, Executive Order No. 2 states that it is imperative that all city government personnel are properly accounted for in terms of their respective plantilla positions and designated office following the assumption of a new set of public officials, effective July 1.
In the pursuit of good governance, institutional discipline, and the efficient delivery of public service, it is both necessary and proper to revoke or recall all previously issued orders involving the reassignment or detail of employees, thereby directing their return to their original positions or mother units, it said.
The order said all existing detail, reassignment, or transfer orders are recalled, canceled, or revoked effective immediately.
Failure to comply with the directive and to report to the original plantilla assignment or mother unit may constitute grounds for administrative sanctions, it said.
Provided that, in cases where there is a need to detail, reassign, or transfer an employee to another office or department, the requesting department head is directed to submit a written request with proper justification clearly stating the necessity for such assignment, the order said.
All employees are directed to effect a proper turn-over of any pending task, responsibility, project, and all accountable property or equipment to their immediate supervisors prior to reassignment, it added. (Chrysee Semillano via tvds)
