MANILA \u2013 <\/strong>Interior and Local Government Secretary Eduardo M. A\u00f1o has ordered the newly-promoted directors and other officials of the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) to check for violations of environmental and other laws in their respective areas to prevent a Boracay-like crisis from happening.<\/p>\n

Speaking during the first-ever mass oath-taking held at the DILG Central Office on Tuesday (March 13), A\u00f1o said the current problem in Boracay is just a symptom but the real sickness is the implementation of the law.<\/p>\n

“I urge you to help us rectify and solve the problem in Boracay by making a chain of actions in your areas, so that other parts of the country will not suffer the same fate,” A\u00f1o said.<\/p>\n

The DILG chief enjoined the newly-promoted officials to understand and learn from the Boracay problem and how they can avoid similar situations in their place of assignments.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o said LGUs should not wait for an environmental crisis to happen in other tourist spots like El Nido, Coron, Siargao, and Camiguin.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs DILG field officials, you can prevent a similar crisis from happening. You should be vigilant,” he said.<\/p>\n

Of the 31 newly-promoted officials, 20 hold the ranks of city and provincial directors. Five were promoted to full-pledged assistant directors.<\/p>\n

Three hold the position of bureau directors, while three regional directors have adjusted ranks from Career Executive Service Officer (CESO) 3 to CESO 4.<\/p>\n

A\u00f1o said the officials deserve their “long-overdue” promotion, having faithfully worked as “true public servants” in the department.<\/p>\n

He said along with the phrase \u201crank has its privileges\u201d (RHIPs), there is also an accompanying phrase that goes \u201crank has its responsibilities\u201d (RHIRs).<\/p>\n

“I urge you to work much faster, more effectively, and more efficiently now that you are already holding higher positions,” A\u00f1o told the newly promoted DILG executives.<\/p>\n
