In an attempt to strike a happy compromise about a controversial reshuffle move, some Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) field officers will have extended stay in their areas of assignments, but not for long.
Of the 23 who were re-assigned to different Bohol towns, 6 Municipal Local Government Operations Officers (MLGOO) get to stay in their respective areas of assignments until December, while field men who are "accepted" in their new town assignments are deemed transferred effective immediately.
For the 6 towns, Regional Director Pedro A. Noval said they would have two MLGOOs, the outgoing and the incoming, so that the transition is smoothened and two officers would join hands in local operations until full implementations happen in January of next year.
The reshuffle has generated resentment among some mayors who admit they were not consulted and their out-going MLGOOs did not apprise them of the policy despite alleged expressed instructions from the regional and provincial offices.
The move to retain the 6 MLGOOs did not fare well among the six mayors however.
The six mayors said they were just representing the mayors' league members and if the deferred move applies to them, it should apply to all the 23 towns.
Mayors have bemoaned of losing a key player in local governance machinery at a time when operations are at full speed.
But DILG Regional Director Pedro A. Noval Jr. invoked a department policy of allowing their people to grow by exposing their field men to different assignments. - Rey Chiu - PIA
