Executive Summary

The Galing Pook Foundation (GPF) with support from the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) organized Module 3, Creating Innovations, under the Adapt+Innovate Good Governance for Children initiative. Participants included representatives from ten pilot local government units (LGUs) and aforementioned partners. In her welcome remarks, Atty. Anjanette Saguisag, UNICEF Social Policy Section Chief, congratulated the participants in advance for the nearing completion of the four modules. She emphasized the importance of changing not just the minds but the hearts of leaders towards promoting and protecting the rights of children. Ms. Normina Mojica, CWC Head Executive Assistant, seconded this and noted how children and adolescent look up to adults as their role models. The first session on the updates on the LGU mentoring and monitoring, presented the implementation status of the respective banner programs as well as the performance of the LGUs in relation to the Child Friendly Local Governance Audit. Following that, participants were oriented on how to define and analyze innovations by playing three audiovisual presentations (AVP) of Galing Pook Awardees and pointing out what strategy was employed and how it can be considered as innovative. For the succeeding session, participants were divided into three groups, each with their respective mentor, for a discussion of current program strategies and implementation challenge/s as well as planning of innovation/s. The participants appreciated the exercise as it showed similar concerns and provided an opportunity for the other LGUs to recommend possible actions/solutions. The last session was a sharing of the identified innovations per banner program; this was also used as an exercise for the participants to know how presentations for the Galing Pook Award is delivered. In her Closing Remarks, UNICEF Country Representative Ms. Lotta Sylwander, noted that LCEs play an important role in developing and implementing quality programs and services not just for the children but the whole community. She mentioned that UNICEF will continue to support the LGUs under the next Country Programme for Children because, according to her, “it is our duty as politicians, staff members, parents, and human beings to make sure that every child survives, thrives and develop because they deserve nothing less”.

Workshop Concept

The Galing Pook Foundation (GPF) in partnership with the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) is implementing a Capacity Building Package (CBP) with focus on children under the Adapt+Innovate Good Governance for Children initiative. This is aimed at mainstreaming child rights in the core development agenda (CDA) of local government units (LGUs). The results of this initiative will be shared with the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to improve delivery of technical assistance to other LGUs as well as to promote the replication of good practices and innovations on child-rights practices and programs. The Galing Pook is working with ten (10) LGUs selected based on the result of the 2016 Child Friendly Local Governance Audit (CFLGA) as well as from UNICEF-assisted areas. The Program will be used to demonstrate a process of planning and budgeting using the CFLGA indicators and child outcome indicators as benchmarks and targets. The results of the Program will be presented to the DILG for appropriate and further action. Module 3 on Creating Innovations is part of four modules under the GPF-UNICEF CBP. In between the modules, the Galing Pook will be providing mentoring services through phone and on-line consultations as well as field visits.

Workshop Objectives

At the end of the two-and-a-half-day workshop, the participants are able to: 1. Get updates on the LGU mentoring and monitoring activities; 2. Define what innovation in local governance for children is; 3. Learn and analyze innovative programs for children; 4. Review adaptive versus technical problems; and 5. Refine each banner program.


5

Workshop Format The Module 3: Creating Innovations is a two-and-a-half-day Workshop held on 22-24 May 2018. This involved 39 representatives from 10 local government units (LGUs), specifically, the Municipalities of Labo and Paracale in Camarines Norte, Sulat in Eastern Samar, Malungon in Sarangani, Aleosan and Midsayap in Cotabato, South Upi in Maguindanao, Kalamansig in Sultan Kudarat and the Cities of Lamitan in Basilan and Zamboanga. Representatives included five (5) Local Chief Executives (LCEs), one (1) Vice-Mayor, one (1) Councilor, and respective staff from the local health, education, social welfare and development, and planning departments. Along with the representatives are two (2) participants from DILG-ARMM, ten (10) speakers and facilitators, eight (8) observers from UNICEF as well as seven (7) Secretariat members. The Module has two parts. The first is primarily on providing input to the participating LGUs by sharing their performance status and helping them define and analyze innovations. The second part is focused on enhancing their respective banner programs with their mentors and fellow participants. The sessions used a combination of sharing and participatory methods which includes brief inputs, interactive discussions, small group sessions and structured plenaries to produce the desired outputs.

Welcome Remarks Atty. Anjanette Saguisag, Chief of UNICEF Social Policy Section, warmly greeted the participants and pointed out that they are nearing the conclusion, or graduation, from the Adapt+Innovate Good Governance for Children Program. She challenged the local government units (LGUs) and their respective representatives on how to innovate programs to address multi-dimensional poverty which, in essence, is a child experiencing compounded deprivations. In line with this, she stressed that the Program is geared towards helping the LGUs identify concepts or solutions to address children’s issues and concerns and to learn

from how the pilot LGUs are implementing their respective banner programs for replication or scaling up. This may be showcased in varying venues, i.e. Orientation for Newly Elected Officials, to encourage other LGUs, especially elected or re-elected Local Chief Executives (LCEs) to do things in a different way but with more result/impact for children. She concluded that it is about changing the heart, not just the mind, of duty bearers. Solidarity Message Ms. Normina Mojica, Executive Assistant and Planning Officer III, delivered the Message on

behalf of the Council for the Welfare of Children (CWC) Executive Director Mary Mitzi Cajayon-Uy. She pointed out the critical role of LGUs to make things happen for children as the implementer of the programs and laws crafted at the national level. It was also emphasized that children easily learn from adults, thus, it is important that local leaders serve as role models to them; this is especially true for the recently elected officials of the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK). She shared her hope that there will be an increase in the number of child-friendly LGUs for a brighter future for the Filipino children.

Expectations Setting After a round of introduction among the participants, Ms. Li-Ann de Leon, GPF Board Member and Mentor, facilitated the expectation setting with the following results:

1. Program Adapt+Innovate for Children a. Inspiration for governance b. Share, learn and analyze ideas, lessons learned, and best practices to be used

4 It was stressed that the lack of data for any indicator automatically results to no or zero point in the audit.

Ms. Florencia Casanova-Dorotan, one of the GPF mentors, urged the LGU to submit that the needed data which she is confident is available based on her previous visit.

5 Issue on rating system; despite increase in the attendance, LGU has only one point. 6 For areas with no facility and at most 2 children, the MLGU is planning to capacitate parents to be able to

conduct home schooling. 7 Issue on rating system despite increase in the attendance. Also, only has 2016-2017 CFLGA data as the

LGU has yet to be audited for 2018. 8 Per discussion, it was agreed that the CLGU does not have to change the Banner Program just to have

direct relationship with the CFLGA as the [clearly] identified issue of the City is on teenage pregnancy. Mentors will be assisting the CLGU team on what can be done.

As an update, it was shared that the revision of the indicators, tools, and processes of the CFLGA, spearheaded by the DILG, is being facilitated in 2018 with technical support from UNICEF. The target is to have the revised indicators ready for the 2019 audit along with the use of the Knowledge Management System (KMS). Session 2 Defining and Analyzing Innovations Dr. Eddie Dorotan, GPF Executive Director Three audiovisual presentations (AVPs) of Galing Pook winners were presented. After each AVP, participants were asked to identify what is innovative about the project and the contributing factor/s to its success.

12 Advocacy materials translated to Chavacano, Tausug and Bisaya; will have the tricycles lined up for

Innovations identified include the (i) integration [comprehensiveness] of different programs in addressing the issue - health, education, social welfare – through community involvement and child advocates [for change], (ii) peer approach13 which involved training adolescents for counselling, and (iii) collaboration with the church through spirituality and guidance14; found a common denominator which is the clientele/group despite having different approaches. Contributing factors, according to the participants, are as follows: (i) [good] leadership by the LCE and medical officer [MHO]; the latter looked at both as a medical and psycho-social issue, (ii) convergence and teamwork or the multi-sectoral approach, (iii) having an effective referral system that catered to the children and youth, (iv) local legislation, specifically, the Adolescent and Youth Welfare Code15, (v) actual strengthening of the Barangay Councils for the Protection of Children (BCPC). Atty. Saguisag added that another innovation, as well as contributing factor, is the provision of a safe space for child and youth participation. She noted that if BALUTI or other young people were not involved, then the Program would not have progressed or become as effective. Ms. Casanova-Dorotan opined that the current challenge for LGUs is how to engage and partner with the recently elected SK officers as they are now formally representing children and youth in governance. This should be viewed as an empowering process from the perspective of inclusive governance.16

As regards religion and culture as a challenge, participants responded as follows:

a. Atty. Saguisag was of a different opinion as she shared that there was previously a group that worked with imams to issue a fatwa that discourages early marriage.

13 Dr. Kibtiya Uddin, Assistant CHO of Zamboanga City, remarked that their City has the same concerns

which they are addressing through similar effort along with having teen centers. She added that they may still improve on their program following Parañaque’s practice which can also include other services, e.g. issue on teenage pregnancy.

14 Kalamansig Mayor Ronan Eugene Garcia cited the concern on increasing teenage pregnancies that requires the cooperation of all community especially the local parish as it is every stakeholder’s concern. Shared that under the Gender and Development (GAD) Program, the local church now has a breastfeeding room.

15 Mr. Ernie Quillo, OIC-MSWDO of Kalamansig, stressed the importance of the Code as a guide in program implementation and service delivery for children.

16 Relative to that, Dr. Dorotan shared that GPF is looking at Youth and Innovative Governance as the theme for the 2018 Governance Fair.

To address the high number of children engaged in substance abuse – drugs, liquors and cigarettes – as well early sexual relationships, the LGU, led by its Municipal Health Officer (MHO), developed their AFRHS Program utilizing multi-sectoral and community-based support. It also directly engaged the youth by organizing BALUTI or Batang Laging Umiiwas sa Tiyak na Inpeksyon wherein children and youth, engaged in aforementioned situations, were provided with services and interventions and transformed into leaders and advocates.

b. Mayor Garcia responded that it is a challenge but instead of going against it head on, he has learned to adapt to it; an example is when addressing the low completion rate brought about by teenage pregnancy. Although early marriages among the IPs cannot be completely stopped, he has asked that the couple consider continuing their respective schooling before having a child. For every success story, the couple is asked to share their story to their peers [modeling].17

c. Ms. Luzminda Halud, Local Government Operations Officer (LGOO) V of DILG-ARMM, shared that arranged marriages, which she herself experienced, occurs more often in rural areas than in areas with educated families. This was seconded by Ms. Bienvenida Llego who shared that in Malungon, teenage pregnancy is at 27% which is above the 4% national acceptable rate. In response, the Municipality issued an ordinance on anti-forced marriage (in consultation with IP groups) along with other programs and services on adolescent sexual reproductive health.

d. Ms. Kathleen Solis, Communication for Development (C4D) Specialist cautioned against the understanding of cultural and social norms where, although the individual does not want to, the pressure from social/ community compels him/her to. It is imperative to identify the behavior’s strongest determinant before planning the intervention; i.e. child rearing in the Philippines where corporal punishment is though as a measure of a parent’s love.

e. Dr. Elmer Soriano explained that dominantly in LGUs, the focus is on tangible programs, e.g. infrastructure. However, what is often neglected is that culture shaping is also part of leadership which is intangible. In the Parañaque example, it may have started in 2004 but the outcome came much later (2009). He stated that the non-engagement of culture will make addressing the concern difficult or the problem itself cyclical.

Dr. Dorotan concluded that religion and/or culture is a challenge but there’s a way out as illustrated by the aforementioned examples.

17 Ms. Casanova-Doratan remarked that everyone should advocate for all children to be in school. Although

there are challenges, if willing to implement children-targeted programs, then there should be clear assessment of the situation/problem and solutions concept.

13

An agreed upon innovation, as well as contributing success factor, in the program is the passion and mindset of the LCE/leader who believed that education is a factor in developing the community along with social services.18 The LCE knew the constituents, probably felt and experienced the same, thus, was really determined and passionate about the things that need to be done. Along with that is objective problem identification and coming up with an evidence-based plan of action. Other innovations include the creation of the Council with different tribe leaders and/or elders as members, the involvement of the different stakeholders, and the establishment of the e-center.19 As regards the Council, it was designed to function without the influence of the LCE and the goal of establishing peace among the different groups. Dr. Dorotan asked the participants what challenges exists and actions that may be taken in a situation like the Marawi aftermath if they are the LCE. One response is tapping local officials for assistance in helping people sustain peace and order as well as to come up with good economic[ally viable] establishments.

For the third AVP on Limasawa, an identified innovation is the involvement of the husband/fathers in the program as opposed to traditional parenting where mothers are solely responsible for. Dr. Rene Gerard Galera, UNICEF Nutrition Specialist, pointed out another innovation which is the early investment on pregnancy as it relates to the first 1,000 days (F1KD) initiative to respond to stunting.20 This, according to him, should also be considered by the other LGUs.

a. Mayor Garcia reacted that stunting, unless identified [very] early on, is irreversible. If this becomes the focus, or an audit indicator, then it will be putting too much pressure on the LGU especially with the number of programs being implemented. Stunting requires a comprehensive program, however, there is no support given from the National Nutrition Council (NNC) nor any other national government office. Dr. Galera

18 Paracale Councilor Cesar Cariño shared that after illegal mining was banned in their Municipality in 2014,

the local administration, through the LCE, had to initiate programs to change the local residents’ mindset. Specifically, introducing community-based skills training in partnership with the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) to promote that education, not only mining, is a means to better their families’ lives.

19 It was shared that prior to the e-center, mobile signal and communication was very difficult in the area. 20 Based on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), what is being measured is stunting, or the

height/length for age, and not [just] underweight.

Rendaw meaning light or essentially bringing light into the children’s lives through literacy with the program focus on improving reading and comprehension. Other program components include the organization of the Tri-people Mayor’s Council for conflict resolution and the establishment of the Community e-Center under its Information Systems Strategic Plan to ensure that the Municipality is updated with current information and communications technology (ICT).

agreed that it is understandably difficult and explained that it is the reason Limasawa is being recognized because it was able to make a difference through its whole of government work along with its commitment and resources.

b. Atty. Saguisag remarked that the CFLGA is still a contentious issue and whether stunting is an appropriate indicator for an annual audit. There should be a clear delineation if the audit is for measuring the outcome for children or the governance input from the LGU. However, she conceded that stunting is an important outcome

for children. The core message, according to Dr. Ma. Bella Ponferrada, UNICEF Health Officer, is that LGUs should channel efforts into impactful programs considering the limited resource and F1KD is one such window of opportunity. c. Ms. Casanova-Dorotan shared that regrettably, based on studies and research, malnutrition is not considered an issue of life and death with people always justifying or reasoning out that it is not alarming. There is a need for accurate and relevant information towards identifying solution concepts and demand comprehensive and integrated approach to address the concern. Another point she emphasized is that LGUs should not monitor the situation just for compliance; the bottom line is not to get the award but for the effect to reflect in the community. Further, she noted that there is no single formula/solution to solve malnutrition – it requires a comprehensive program cutting through food access, availability, and consumption along with awareness [raising] that nutrition is very important; should even start with family planning.

Dr. Dorotan then proceeded to his presentation defining innovation as “the process of improving, adapting or developing a product, system or service to deliver better results and create value for people” among others. It was noted that despite its negative effects, the controversial dengue vaccine, commonly known as Dengvaxia, is still an innovation because it is a new method to address dengue. He also shared the following six innovative governance trends:

a. Combine human and machine data or to maximize technology to serve the purpose for children including how data is analyzed. However, Malungon Mayor Ma. Theresa Constantino remarked that this cannot be run by robots or artificial intelligence alone which lacks human’s compassion.

b. Scale up for maximum impact in spite of limited sources. c. Citizens as experts (Mamamayan Mamamayani) practical knowledge will come from

them. d. Personalized services since there is no one solution/program that fits all.

Comprehensive program on the reduction of malnutrition and improvement of health through provision of (i) maternal and child health services, (ii) food assistance and backyard gardening, and (iii) livelihood support (rent to own boats for fisher folk). The program encouraged community participation and highlighted the critical role of fathers in ensuring the wellness of both mother and child.

Nutrition Plan Limasawa, Southern Leyte

e. Transform internal processes and mechanisms, e.g. one-stop shop of programs/services. However, a challenge may be oppositions from staff that are used to the traditional system.

f. Experimental government that should employ the principle of “no harm”. Mr. Jesus Far, UNICEF Child Protection Officer, noted that the trends are human intensive and would require empowering them in order to be able to participate and express their opinions. He shared a quote from Paulo Coelho the gist of which is that children are tired of being called the hope for the future, they want to enjoy it now. He further remarked that poverty is not an excuse for child abuse, neglect and exploitation. Mayor Constantino cautioned that life is a continuing process and culture is not unchanging, so what may be applicable now may not be in the future. For the present, she shared their LGU’s initiative Bahay Silangan aimed at addressing the concern of [increasing] drug surrenderees; this may be considered an innovation because to date, the national government has no clear policy/direction as regards the concern. Session 3 Crafting our Innovations in the Banner Program The LGUs were divided into the following groups with their respective mentor:

LGU Mentor South Upi, Midsayap, Aleosan Ms. Florencia Casanova-Dorotan Lamitan City, Zamboanga City, Kalamansig Dr. Elmer Soriano Labo, Paracale, Malungon, Sulat Ms. Salvacion Bulatao

Ms. Li-Ann De Leon The LGUs were given time to share updates on their banner program implementation including the challenges they have encountered after which, the other LGUs were asked to comment and share their input along with the technical advice provided by the mentor. Given these, the participants were encouraged to review and identify innovations in their program strategies. Session 4 Presentation of Innovations in the Banner Program Facilitator: Ms. Florencia “Oyen” Casanova-Dorotan Each LGU was given ten (10) minutes to present their Banner Program and another five (5) minutes for the critiquing (refer to Annex 5 for the LGU Banner Program Presentations). What follows is the critiquing of the respective Banner Programs.


16

PROTEJE Reporter: Ms. Ma. Socorro Rojas, Zamboanga City

Atty. Saguisag wanted to clarify if the identified five (5) experiments in thirty (30) days can realistically be expected to happen within said days and whether these are new experiments or already part of the regular program. It was explained that some of the experiments, i.e. teen center and Local Code for Children (LCC) are already in the pipeline while some are still for set up, specifically, the adolescent friendly centers which requires orientation. Further, the identified experiments vis-à-vis activities are all to realize the banner program.

The team was challenged by mentors to think of how to innovate activities or processes that are already ongoing to be better, faster and more efficient in reaching outcomes, i.e. in the updating of the LCC, how can the CLGU get input from children especially from those were internally displaced; may look into using electronic means or a survey.

• Ms. Casanova-Dorotan added that innovations can come at the conceptualization or operational level, e.g. for the Child Protection Committees (CPC) in schools, the team can look into replacing ineffective processes and replace it with experimental ones.

• Finally, as a sustainability mechanism, Ms. De Leon suggested the issuance of a legislation to institutionalize program.

Manganguda, Solo Ke’Fiyonon – Kabataan, Ilaw ng Kabutihan Reporter: Ms. Mary Claire Diestro, South Upi

Asked what is innovative about their program, Ms. Diestro shared that it is the child-to-child

or per-to-peer approach wherein the MLGU will identify children who knows how or have been trained to echo to other children for activities such as toothbrushing and handwashing. Other innovations include the following: (i) for the supplemental feeding program (SFP), parents are the ones who provide the vegetables and cook the food, (ii) the upgrading of primary schools into elementary schools, (iii) the salary augmentation for volunteer teachers from the MLGU for elementary schools without teachers, and (iv) fund support from parents and the MLGU for putting up makeshift classrooms.

Project [email protected] Reporter: Mr. Aldrin Limbauan, Sulat Responses to the three questions posed by Ms. Casanova-Doratan are as follows:

• Reason for changing the name aside from claiming it is now [more] comprehensive. It was clarified that it is limiting if it is only audio-video. The retitling or re-strategizing to literacy supported by livelihood and life is from the team’s learning that in order to achieve/resolve a problem, all the stakeholders should work together and address cross-cutting factors.

• Is using ICT as a strategy an innovation. The team responded positively and shared an example of how ICT was used to improve agricultural practices. Mr. Limbauan also shared that based on studies, children learn easily using AV materials at an early stage. In this regard, Ms. Casanova-Doratan is interested to see how this can be used for education and ECCD and challenged the LGU to articulate on what ICT means in the monolithic context of communication.

• Ms. Casanova-Dorotan remarked that citing the achievement of the CFLGA indicators as an objective is questionable as the banner program is a result of the LGU’s situational analysis and needs identification. According to the team, the core objective of the program is to improve literacy under basic education citing the concern the some 4th graders still have difficulty reading.

Aleosan Vice Mayor Eduardo Cabaya commented that said program may not be doable in their locality because of strains in the system of implementation. Dr. Soriano remarked that all the LGUs undergoing the training are theoretically capable of winning a Galing Pook award; this means that the LGUs have the capacity to perform better than those featured in the AVPs in the previous session and in this regard, asked how the Project [email protected] achieve this. Mr. Limbauan responded that they can only say they have performed better after implementing the project and reaping its results. Gintong Kaalaman, Handog sa Kabataan Reporter: Councilor Cesar Cariño, Paracale Ms. Bulatao expounded that this is a case where child friendly programs need to be related to the locality’s economic situation; its primary economic activity, gold mining, has been suspended thus, the need for families to shift their means of livelihood which cannot be directly related to child friendly.

• Mayor Garcia was of a different opinion citing that child labor was eliminated because of his directive to stop mining; subsequently, this resulted to a reduction of

malnutrition cases. However, this required intensifying other livelihood assistance [programs].

• Clr. Cariño shared that in a way, there are positive and negative effects. Negative economically but positive because of mindset changing since the children are now in school as opposed to previous practice wherein they are tasked by their parents to help in mining – the reason behind the high number of out of school youth (OSY). The LGU is now focused on providing technical and educational scholarship programs.

Dr. Galera noted that the F1KD was mentioned but the identified intervention is for children in SNPs/DCC who are 3 to 5 years old who are beyond the target age range for F1KD. I CAN in Education Reporter: Ms. Bienvenida Llego, Malungon Mr. Jon Villasenor, UNICEF WASH Officer, complimented the mainstream approach (central role as opposed to supporting role) the LGU is taking on education which is often administered by the national office. He mentioned that one bottleneck given the very specific School Education Fund (SEF) policy is the LGU role in terms of financial support; this, according to him, is an area that requires high level assistance in order to facilitate optimizing financial support to the education sector across all LGUs. Ms. Casanova-Dorotan shared that there are four (4) innovation entry points – in policy, people, enabling structures, and mechanisms. Ms. Llego remarked that innovations for the East District includes having the District Supervisors in the Program Management Team as well as school heads to ensure participatory aspect. The schools are also encouraged to compete and at the same time mentor least performing schools to ensure that they all perform better. She added that as an IP-dominated community with 60-70% of the area classified as ancestral domain, the MLGU’s SEF only amounts to 1.5 million pesos. Thus, the convergence initiatives for the past nine (9) years to increase fund support for the education programs.

Malusog na Kabataan, Pag-asa at Yaman ng Bayan Reporter: Ms. Rowena Flores, Midsayap Dr. Dorotan voiced his excitement for the Community Kitchen but suggested not to simply

replicate the Valenzuela City practice – he challenged the LGU to inject something different to the program like going organic, cooking indigenous food or setting up community kitchens that can develop their own menu. He cited the Municipality of Dumingag, referred to as an organic town, wherein the cook, sponsored by the LGU to culinary school (CCA), returned to cook and teach kids using indigenous ingredients. As the first municipality to formulate its own 5-year WASH Plan, Mayor Constantino raise the request for sharing of said plan for replication.

Ms. Solis suggested making IEC materials a dialogic process to encourage questions from people and pass on the information. Although it is good to have these materials, she also cautioned the participants that they should not rely on that alone and still explore other means of communicating, i.e. face-to-face channels. Unang Kalinangan, Sulong Kabataan! Ms. Lorelie Villanueva, Labo Atty. Saguisag expressed her hope that there can be an innovation on how to get parents to do early stimulation of children aged 0 to 2 months. She expounded that one lesson from early care and development is that learning starts even at the age of 0 wherein brain development occurs. In this regard, providing interventions for children aged 3 to 5 years old misses out some windows of opportunity in between 0 to 3 years old, more especially for the 0 to 2 months which would affect further development of the child.

Dr. Soriano observed that there is an assumption that standards are high in the cities and low in rural areas. This, according to him, should not be the case as being innovative also means having world class standards even at the barrio level.

Mayor Garcia pointed out the DepEd guideline on the teacher-student ratio of 1:35 which is not applicable to all LGUs which forces the latter to pay for locally-hired teachers; this is challenging for LGUs with minimal SEF. He added that the DepEd national office needs to look into this for better understanding.

Kasanyangan si Kamakanakan (Youth Development) Reporter: Mr. Joey Leonardo, Lamitan City

Mayor Romeo Araña opined that the problem on the increasing cases of adolescent pregnancies came after the popularization of cellphones, internet, and social media. He stated that there should have been legislative support prior to said advancement.

Mayor Constantino re-echoed Lamitan City’s problem and shared that in Region 12, Malungon has been reported with the highest teenage pregnancies citing being IP-dominated as the cause. She disagrees with said report since upon meeting both teachers and IP leaders, most of the adolescent pregnancies are from non-IPs because of social media and technology. Meanwhile, as a strategy for IP communities, the LGU tried regulating the arranged marriages by saying that it is respected as part of our culture but the couple is encouraged not to get pregnant in between ages 13 to 15 just yet so as not to drop out from school. Another program involves encouraging youth to get into outdoor or sports activities to divert them from too much technology which may be supported by crafting a youth code.

Ms. Solis reiterated that the key is to understand the root cause of the problem as there could be many varying factors behind which will have an implication on the strategy to be used. Other possible intervention includes strengthening the decision-making skills of adolescents especially since cultural norms, traditions and/or social pressure in the country is very strong and some adolescents do not know how to protect themselves. Mamayang RONAN para sa Kabataan Reporter: Mayor Ronan Eugene Garcia

Mayor Constantino inquired on how to prove that the person with the client is his/her spouse and lightheartedly asked if they are expected to bring with them their marriage certificate. It was explained that the strategy’s objective is for the father to have and play his role in shared parenting. As to learning from the ZOD practice of Malungon, Ms. Casanova-Dorotan reiterated that LGUs are free to visit, share and learn from other LGUs since that is what replication is about. Dr. Soriano seconded this and shared concept of city diplomacy for common advocacy,

or, for this case, can be G7 or group of seven (7) that can agree to adopt certain advocacy theme and engage for commonly recognized agenda. Ms. Casanova-Dorotan suggested calling them the “Group of 10 Cities and Municipalities for Children” or Group of 10 for C.

Mr. Far cited a book by Professor Lito Manalili of the University of the Philippines College of Social Work and Community Development (UP CSWCD) entitled “Pag-oorganisa ng Pamayanan Mula sa Tao Para sa Tao” which may help the LGU in encouraging community participation as the material is focused on community organizing. This, according to Ms. Casanova-Dorotan, should be followed by the GPF material “Mamamayan, Mamayani!”. Batang Malusog Yaman ng Bayan Reporter: Ms. Leah Guanzon, Aleosan

Dr. Ponferrada, UNICEF Health Officer, expressed appreciation and noted how LGUs implement different programs to address malnutrition. She suggested refocusing or looking at other spectrum/s related to it, i.e. the integrated management of childhood illnesses. A general sharing from Dr. Soriano is how at present, armed groups such as ISIS are slowly infiltrating communities. He cautioned that it will be easy for them to do this especially if there are weak LGUs or wherever there are extreme deprivations or inequalities, thus, the need to strengthen good governance among LGUs.

Synthesis Ms. Casanova-Dorotan summed that there is no easy answer in solving problems particularly in improving the condition of children. Although there may not be one answer, there are many answers if stakeholders try to zoom in on the problem – basically a deepening of problem analysis and therefore widening the solutions to the problem. She again underscored the 4 innovation entry points as well as the following key notes:

1. The importance of legislation – policies and ordinances – for the sustainability of [any] program. Along with that is the Executive Order which is used as a cover for its implementation.

2. People as the change capital. In line with the upcoming election, stakeholders should at this point, have a profile of the barangay captains – who are pro and anti-children - including the SK officers because they should, and they have the right to be, part of local governance at present.

3. Should be conscious of enabling factors such as having technical working groups/committees (TWG/Cs).

4. An integrated approach in the banner programs – it is expected that towards Module 4, the LGUs will be able to articulate on their respective innovative projects.

Closing Program Expectations Check Ms. De Leon briefly read through the expectations shared on the first day of the Workshop which, according to the participants, were all achieved/realized. Impressions from Participants

Ms. Alma Peralta, Paracale Nurse, expressed that she is very fortunate to be a participant although a bit sad that their LCE is unable to attend. Although she seldom speaks during the sessions, she assured the mentors that her mind is full of the learnings especially after the visit to Valenzuela City. Mr. Limbauan remarked that the venue, food, accommodation, and training program are all superior, in fact, he is confident he has enhanced his skills in program development and may be able to help other schools in crafting their banner programs. He especially noted the caring staff and expert facilitators and mentors.

Mayor Garcia noted that the GPF has guided him on his journey as a neophyte mayor. He added that it is a matter of maximizing the learnings not just as a leader but also as a person as there are a number of GPF teachings that challenges a person [and his/her humanity] which sometimes lead to unpopular but necessary decisions for the locality. He thanked the mentors and stated that this has been a happy journey, his only regret is that after Module 4, he and his co-participants will be graduating from the Program. He is hopeful that everything that has been discussed in the Modules will be realized by the pilot LGUs and that they all become really functional structures. Much like starting a ripple, he looks forward to when he can ask neighboring LGUs that if the small town of Kalamansig can do it, then they can, too. Closing Message Ms. Lotta Sylwander, UNICEF Country Representative Ms. Sylwander warmly greeted the group voicing out her appreciation in seeing everyone. She noted how even during the Martial Law period, LGUs had certain freedom in decision-making likening the mayors to kings with their own kingdoms who play the important role of making life better for children and their families by providing programs and services. However, she underscored that the quality of the programs and services is just as important as coverage. She quoted the phrase “a city suitable for children to live in is a city suitable for everyone” which means that an LGU good for children is probably a place where everyone is mostly doing quite well and are provided with services and support.

It was mentioned that UNICEF is interested in LGUs because local development plans must include and incorporate programs for children as well as excluded groups. Ms. Sylwander then stressed that the battle cry should be “nothing about us without us” meaning beneficiaries should be included in preparing plans on what concerns them and what matters to them. A related issue to that is data collection; although being done, people doing the collection rarely know why they are collecting the data.21 According to her, it is essential for both national officers and LCEs to understand what’s going on at the local level thus, the need for better focus on data collection. She also shared that UNICEF has been assisting some LGUs in analyzing how to use and maximize available resources. In line with that, she stated there is a need to rethink budgeting into a results-based management of finances. The next Country Programme, according to Ms. Sylwander, includes continued work with the provincial government and a select number of LGUs, which may either be urban areas or poorer LGUs mainly in Mindanao and some in Samar.22 She also committed to continue working with GPF to replicate what can and has been proven to work along with further developing the CFLGA. Finally, Ms. Sylwander reiterated her appreciation to all the hard work being done not just by the LCEs but also the staff, or foot soldiers, in the different service delivery parts of local government. She concluded by saying that “it is our duty as politicians, staff members, parents, and human beings to make sure that every child survives, thrives and develop because they deserve nothing less”. 21 Shared an anecdote in one of her visits to South Upi where she asked a health worker how many children

are malnourished or stunted and the latter had to look at a chart before responding. 22 The commissioned Situational Analysis (SitAn), used as a reference for drafting the next Programme,

identifies the role of government, some bottlenecks in service provision as well as what LGUs can do in terms of health, WASH, protection, early learning, and support provision. The SitAn also pointed out the lack of coordination and vertical intervention among the national and sub-national offices, i.e. even with the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program (4Ps), health, education, and other sectors work on their own silos. Another key finding is the weak supervision and monitoring of LGUs, case in point are governors who are not reporting to anyone.

Workshop Evaluation After the Forum, participants were requested to fill out the Evaluation Forms included in the kits distributed during the registration. The evaluation has two parts. For the first part, participants were asked to rate the workshop delivery and its usefulness using a range of 1 – 5, with 1 as the lowest and 5 as the highest. The second part seeks to generate comment/s from participants for the improvement of the Workshop. A total of 35 forms were accomplished. The overall rating of the Workshop is 4.67 based on the average of the sum of responses to all the criteria. Average ratings for each criterion range from 4.18 to 4.89. The least rating of 4.18 was given for the information received before the Workshop while the top rating of 4.89 was given to the overall contribution of the resource persons and facilitators. The participants were mostly clarified with the workshop objectives, contents and methods and agree that the objectives were achieved. The workshop content was found to be valuable with the following aspects/discussions found to be most useful: (i) crafting innovations in the banner program or the mentoring and coaching session, (ii) defining and analyzing innovations, and (iii) film viewing or the sharing of the AVPs of Galing Pook Awardees. Although beneficial, there are a number of difficulties identified by the participants in applying what they have learned in terms of the community response, specifically, the acceptance and social mobilization on the ground especially in terms of cultural and religious beliefs, the support of stakeholders in the program implementation, and the response of the beneficiaries themselves; it was noted that it may be difficult to [immediately] change [a person’s] behavior/belief. A few responded that resources (financial, human, and time) is still a challenge. Although generally satisfied with the Resource Persons and Facilitators, some recommendations for improvement forwarded by the participants include allocating additional time for technical inputs, coaching and mentoring, and mobilization of participants for experiential learning and providing standard presentation format and workshop instructions for discussions to be more focused and on-point. Beyond that, the workshop was recognized as well organized with a rating of 4.80.
