Adding to Siquijor’s achievements, the province received the Most Significant Change Impact Award, while the Municipality of Larena earned the Data Excellence Award. Both were also recognized as Outstanding Local Project Monitoring Committees (LPMCs) in the provincial and municipal categories, respectively.

Among the local officials who received the awards were Larena Vice Mayor Jan Dean O. Villa and Maria Vice Mayor Meynard R. Asok.

In his closing remarks, DILG Siquijor Provincial Director Dennis S.

The activity brought together 18 Barangay Secretaries from selected barangays in the Province of Siquijor to enhance their capacity to develop simple, accurate, and reader-friendly information, education, and communication (IEC) materials on Katarungang Pambarangay.

Serving as the DICT Resource Speaker was Ms. Andre Claire Pangandoyon, DTC Manager-Dumaguete City, who guided the participants through an introduction to Canva and basic design principles, followed by a demonstration on creating a KP tri-fold brochure.

The workshop adopted a hands-on approach, allowing participants to apply what they learned by developing their own KP IEC materials.
