The two-day activity brought together city officials and department heads to review the implementation and performance of the City Government’s programs, projects, and activities, assess accomplishments against targets, identify implementation gaps and challenges, and develop appropriate measures to improve organizational performance and service delivery.
The Program Review and Evaluation Workshop covered the following major presentations and discussions:
• Performance Management Team (PMT) Report – presented the status of the Strategic Performance Management System, accomplishments, performance assessment, and areas requiring improvement to strengthen the performance management process of the City Government.
• 2026 Development Projects Implementation Report – presented the status and accomplishments of ongoing and completed development projects, including implementation concerns, utilization of resources, and actions necessary to ensure the timely and effective delivery of projects.
• 2026 Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Fund (LDRRMF) Implementation Report – assessed the utilization and implementation of programs and activities funded under the LDRRMF, particularly those supporting disaster prevention and mitigation, preparedness, response, and recovery.
• Project Monitoring Committee (PMC) Report – presented the results of project monitoring activities, including identified implementation issues, observations, and recommended corrective measures to ensure that projects are implemented in accordance with approved plans, standards, schedules, and intended outcomes.
One of the key highlights of the discussion is the proposed development and improvement of the city hall compound. The discussion presented the Mayor’s vision for a more functional, accessible, organized and people-centered government complex including the planned city gymnasium, public park, and adequate parking facilities. The proposed improvements aim to maximize the use of government property, provide better facilities for public activity and community engagement, improve accessibility and convenience for employees, and create a more orderly and conducive environment within the city hall compound.
The workshop provided a venue for open discussion, performance assessment, inter-office coordination, and collaborative problem-solving, enabling the participants to identify priority concerns and agree on appropriate actions to address gaps and improve the implementation of programs and projects.
The activity also included a Moral Recovery Program and Team Building, facilitated by Team High Impact Facilitators. The session focused on strengthening teamwork, trust, communication, leadership, cooperation, and planning. Through various interactive activities, participants were encouraged to build stronger professional relationships and reinforce the values necessary for an effective and cohesive local government workforce.
As part of the learning component of the workshop, the participants conducted a Benchmarking Activity with the Local Government Unit of Tagaytay City, facilitated by the Tagaytay City Tourism Office. The activity provided the participants with an opportunity to learn from Tagaytay City’s experiences, practices, and approaches in local governance, tourism development, and the management of local resources.
The benchmarking activity emphasized the importance of innovation, resource mobilization, sustainable local development, inter-office collaboration, and responsive governance. The practices and insights gained from the activity may serve as useful references in identifying strategies that can be adapted to the local context of Tabuk City.
Overall, the two-day workshop strengthened the commitment of the City Government’s officials and department heads to results-oriented governance, effective program implementation, responsible resource utilization, continuous performance improvement, and quality public service.
The activity served not only as a venue for reviewing accomplishments but also as an opportunity to collectively determine what has been achieved, what needs to be improved, and what actions must be undertaken moving forward toward the realization of the development goals and aspirations of Tabuk City and its people.
