Text Any textual data included in the document Iloilo pioneers nation’s first prov’l career guidance module; Public schools seek to align SHS grads with real jobs By Ime Sornito -Tuesday, February 17, 2026 ILOILO – To close the gap between education and employment, the Iloilo Provincial Government has rolled out what it described as the first provincial-wide Career Guidance Instructional Module (CGIM) in the country, distributing the materials to 80 public secondary schools across the province. Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. led the formal turnover ceremony on February 13 at the Pavia National High School Twin Covered Gym, coinciding with the culmination of the school’s Career Guidance Advocacy activity titled “Pagbinag-binag: Thinking Through Career Options.” The initiative aims to ensure that senior high school students choose courses aligned not only with their talents and abilities but also with the province’s labor demands and the country’s economic direction. Defensor stressed the urgency of bridging the disconnect between graduates and available jobs. “Kun wala nagasanto ang produkto sang eskwelahan sa kinahanglan sang ekonomiya kag gobyerno, wala ubra ang aton mga graduates,” said Defensor. He emphasized that the program goes beyond routine counselling and seeks to strategically shape the province’s future workforce. “We want a career guidance and counselling program that will bridge the gap and produce the human resource, and give intelligent and effective intervention as you decide what to do with your lives and what career to seek,” Defensor added. Each CGIM set contains structured lesson guides, learner activities, assessment tools, and facilitation notes designed for systematic and sustained career guidance delivery from Grades 7 to 12. The modules cover career self-assessment, labor market information, education pathways, and decision-making skills. Developed in partnership with guidance counselors and education specialists from the Department of Education (DepEd) Iloilo and the University of the Philippines, the CGIM localizes Republic Act No. 11206, or the Career Guidance and Counseling Act, authored by Defensor when he was then a congressman representing Iloilo’s 3rd District. Provincial officials said implementation of the modules will begin in the next school year, making Iloilo the first province in the Philippines to institutionalize a localized, structured career guidance program across its public secondary schools./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.

This adjustment aims to give employees more time to spend with their families. During Monday’s morning flag-raising ceremony, September 23, Human Resource Management and Development Office (HRMDO) head Atty. Rene Valencia announced that the office hours will only run until 12 noon on Friday. This early dismissal is in line with Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr.’s directive to support the annual celebration of Family Week among provincial government employees. Similarly, Iloilo City’s Mayor Jerry Treñas issued an advisory for the early dismissal of city government employees on Monday, September 23. City personnel were allowed to log out at 3 p.m. to join the Family Week celebration and spend quality time with their loved ones. However, departments and offices providing essential services, including health, disaster preparedness, and response, are required to maintain operations to ensure continuity of critical services. This announcement followed the directives from Executive Secretary Lucas Bersamin under Memorandum Circular No. 64, dated September 12, in accordance with Proclamation No. 60 (1992) and Proclamation No. 326 (2012). These proclamations declare the last week of September as Family Week and designate the fourth Monday of September as “Kainang Pamilya Mahalaga” Day, during which government work in the executive branch is suspended starting at 3 p.m. The National Committee on the Filipino Family encourages active participation from government workers in the various programs and activities scheduled for Family Week. Essential services will remain uninterrupted during this period./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I. (2024, September 24).

Arthur Defensor Jr., alongside Ma. Airis Penetrante, president of the Association of Iloilo Provincial Government Employees (AIPGE), and Atty. Renee Valencia, head of the Provincial Human Resource Management and Development Office, officially signed the agreement on October 4. The CNA incentive is a form of recognition for the collective efforts of AIPGE members who have met performance goals and contributed to cost-effective solutions in government operations. “This agreement opens the door for our employees to receive the CNA incentive,” said Penetranted, noting that the final amount will be contingent on the provincial government’s financial savings.

Over 2,000 regular employees, including those working at the capitol and district hospitals, are eligible to receive the CNA Incentive. In 2023, regular employees of the provincial government received a CNA Incentive of P18,000, in addition to other bonuses such as a Productivity Enhancement Incentive (PEI) of P5,000, a one-time Service Recognition Incentive (SRI) of P20,000, and a Performance-Based Bonus (PBB) equivalent to 50 percent of their monthly salary./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.

Galigao -Thursday, April 24, 2025 Pan de Azucar Island, famous for its towering Mount Pan de Azucar (Sugarloaf Mountain), is home to three barangays: Macatunao, Talotu-an, and Tambaliza. Its rich biodiversity and natural beauty make it an ideal candidate for eco-tourism. Pan de Azucar Island, famous for its towering Mount Pan de Azucar (Sugarloaf Mountain), is home to three barangays: Macatunao, Talotu-an, and Tambaliza. Its rich biodiversity and natural beauty make it an ideal candidate for eco-tourism. ILOILO – The provincial government is ramping up efforts to position Pan de Azucar Island in Concepcion town as a leading eco-tourism destination, with a focus on sustainable development and environmental preservation. Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. recently met with officials and stakeholders from the Save Pan de Azucar group to discuss the island’s transformation into a model eco-tourism site that will conserve its unique ecosystems while fostering local tourism. Pan de Azucar, famous for its towering Mount Pan de Azucar (Sugarloaf Mountain), is home to three barangays: Macatunao, Talotu-an, and Tambaliza. Its rich biodiversity and natural beauty make it an ideal candidate for eco-tourism. To further this vision, Provincial Administrator Raul Banias convened a coordination meeting with the Provincial Tourism Office and local barangay officials. The goal of the meeting was to assess the island’s tourism potential, evaluate its existing infrastructure, and pinpoint opportunities for sustainable development. “First, we need to inventory our tourism assets and facilities and determine the needs of the island to make it an eco-tourism area,” Banias stressed. As part of the initiative, the provincial government plans to organize a broader stakeholders’ meeting to align various development proposals with the needs and aspirations of Pan de Azucar’s residents. This inclusive approach aims to maximize the economic and social benefits of tourism while ensuring that the island’s ecological integrity is maintained. In 2024, residents near Pan de Azucar raised concerns about proposed quarry and mining activities on the island, emphasizing the importance of safeguarding the environment and public health. They expressed strong opposition, particularly due to concerns over arsenic contamination in the local groundwater, underscoring the island’s vital ecological role. The move to develop Pan de Azucar into an eco-tourism hub is in line with Governor Defensor’s Executive Order No. 168, which established the “Turista sa Barangay” program. This initiative promotes rural tourism by developing villages as attractive destinations for visitors and creating spaces that cater to tourists while ensuring environmental sustainability. As part of this effort, the provincial government is also focusing on reforestation and social forestry projects to preserve and enhance green spaces across the region./PN Citation Citation of the article Galigao, N.

Text Any textual data included in the document Iloilo prov’l gov’t mulls separating Kasadyahan from Dinagyang fest By Ime Sornito -Monday, January 20, 2025 MARIN MARIN ILOILO – To accommodate more tribes and further highlight the culture and tourism of Iloilo province, the provincial government is studying the possibility of making the Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan a standalone event, independent from the Dinagyang Festival. Currently, the Kasadyahan is held a day before the Dinagyang Ati tribes competition, one of the highlights of the festival organized by the Iloilo City Government and the Iloilo Festivals Foundation, Inc. (IFFI). Gilbert G. Marin, head of the Provincial Culture, Arts, History and Tourism Office (PCAHTO), revealed that discussions regarding the separation often arise during committee meetings for Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan. Gov. Arthur Defensor Jr. is reportedly open to the idea of transforming Kasadyahan into an independent festival of festivals for Iloilo province, akin to Negros Occidental’s Panaad Festival. “The governor envisions holding this during the Semana sang Iloilo celebration in April, marking the establishment of Iloilo as a province. He aims for a larger event that can cater to more festivals,” Marin said. Marin emphasized that guidance from IFFI would be critical in realizing this plan, noting that the foundation has been instrumental since the provincial government took over the organization of Kasadyahan in 2024. For 2025, nine tribes are set to participate in the Kasadyahan sa Kabanwahanan, representing their respective municipalities: * Banaag Festival of Anilao * Kaing Festival of Leon * Tawili Festival of San Rafael * Hirinugyaw Suguidanonay Festival of Calinog * Tinuom Festival of Cabatuan * Cry of Jelicuon Festival of New Lucena * Tangyan Festival of Igbaras * Haw-as Festival of Dumangas * Tultugan Festival of Maasin Governor Defensor described Kasadyahan as a “cultural stage” for municipalities, showcasing their unique offerings. “Our municipalities are fun; they are foodie, and they are friendly. Kasadyahan is a mix of culture, arts, history, and tradition,” he said. The provincial government aims to use Kasadyahan as a platform to promote tourism and investment in Iloilo City and province. To support this, financial subsidies amounting to P2 million will be given to participating second to fifth-class municipalities, including Cabatuan, Leon, Maasin, Igbaras, Anilao, New Lucena, and San Rafael. First-class municipalities, Calinog and Dumangas, will each receive P1.5 million. This marks an increase from the P1 million subsidy provided in 2024./PN Citation Citation of the article Sornito, I.
