Davao del Norte – The governance of the Provincial Government amidst COVID19 has “impressed” the Director General of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Ramon Cualoping III, during his visit in the province yesterday, August 27, 2020.

“Davao del Norte is such a good place for benchmarking in terms of our fight against COVID19,” Cualoping III said after meeting with Provincial Governor Edwin I. Jubahib and Tagum Mayor Allan Rellon.

He particularly mentioned Davao del Norte’s QR code for contact tracing as a system that should be implemented by other LGUs as well.

“Yung QR Code system I think should be replicated throughout the country. Kanina inexplain sa akin ni kuya gov Edwin na 1 is to 45 ang ratio ng contact tracing (Earlier Kuya Gov Edwin explained to me that the contact tracing has a 1 to 45 ratio). I think that’s very good,” he said.

Cualoping also appreciated the collaboration of the three cities in the province: Tagum, Samal, and Panabo in establishing a COVID19 testing center in the Davao Regional Medical Center (DRMC) which caters also to the neighboring provinces.

“Napakagaling (Very impressive). I think us in the PIA will commit to amplify and let the entire country know about the best practices here in Davao del Norte,” he said.

“Dito natin makikita (This is where we witness) Davao del Norte, Davao de Oro, ang galing (very competent). It just shows that when you have good governors, when you have a very functional and efficient local government units (LGUs), then the basic services that our people deserve to have and enjoy will be rightfully given to our citizens,” he added before getting on his ride to leave the province.

As for the role of the PIA, he promised that the agency will do its best in helping the LGUs in informing people and in explaining to them, and making them understand what is happening.

“We’ll continue to help them by informing our people and making people understand through our Explain, Explain, Explain initiative. We will keep on explaining to the people because at the end of the day, we go beyond informing people. We have to make people understand what is happening,” he said.

He first visited Gov. Edwin I. Jubahib who was with City Mayor Al David Uy of the Island Garden City of Samal in the Tahanan ng Gobernador at the Provincial Capitol Compound located in Mankilam, Tagum City.

Then he went to briefly visit the PIA DavNor-DavOr Information Center from where he proceeded to the Provincial Information Communication and Knowledge Management Office (PICKMO) and to PTV DavNor Studio.

After his visit in the Capitol, he went to Tagum City Hall and visited Mayor Allan Rellon.

He also met with Davao de Oro Governor, Jayvee Tyrone Uy, at Yuyu Cafe, Tagum City right after.
