CITY OF TABUK, Kalinga, Mar. 6(PIA) – The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) provincial office here interfaces with barangay officials and their constituents to present its “Disiplina Muna” advocacy campaign.

The campaign aims to promote the culture of discipline among Filipinos as a means of fostering people’s participation which is one of the tenets of good governance.

Provincial DILG Director Mayer Max Adong presented during a recent barangay assessment held in Balinciagao Norte in Pasil municipality the pillars of the Disiplina Muna campaign namely road clearing, disaster preparedness and resilience, anti-smoking, ease of doing business, liquor ban, tourist spot cleanup, and functionality of barangay anti-drug abuse council.

To promote discipline, he said citizens should help maintain cleared roads from obstructions; cooperate in preparedness measures during calamities; obedience to stop smoking, transparent and prompt actions on business transaction; regulate drinking liquor; maintain cleanliness of tourist spots, and abide with law, observe rules and regulations and report crime.

Real change cannot happen to this country if people themselves do not change People have to take part in the process and it starts by changing mindsets.

Government cannot do it alone, there has to be a consensus from all sectors, from all walks of life. There has to be change in the belief system where discipline and the strict enforcement of the rules become the norm. Only if principles are applied that people will experience change that is profound and long lasting, Adong explained.

Personnel from the municipal local government operations offices will discuss said program during barangay assemblies.
