Rationale:
Mabinay
as a first class municipality of the province of Negros Oriental has uplifted
its governance and environmental sustainability strategies through people
oriented accomplishments. It’s Local Government Unit/ LGU has made the strong
signposts for its programs and projects in the banner of “GO! Mabinay GO!,” that is “G
for greener” and “O for a more
organized” municipality. A Greener
Mabinay calls for environmental sustainability and a more Organized LGU is of proofs of its good governance.
The Red Orchid Award, a smokefree recognition of the
Municipality of Mabinay, has set the town to a national accreditation. This
accounts the pursuit of the Local Government Unit/ LGU for a sustainable
environment. The Department of Health has commended this achievement of the LGU
and all its citizens. As the Brundtland Commission defines sustainable
development as the “ability to make development sustainable—to ensure that it
meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future
generations to meet their own needs,” this has been a priority of the greening
programs and projects of LGU.
Secondly, the Seal of Good
Housekeeping Award by the Department of Interior and Local Government has
marked the good governance of the LGU Mabinay. This governance is the process
of decision making and the process by which decisions are implemented, an
analysis of governance focuses on the formal and informal actors involved in
decision-making and implementing the decisions made and the formal and informal
structures that have been set in place to arrive at and implement the decision
(United Nations Economic and Social
Commission for Asia and the Pacific). It is of these standards that the LGU of
Mabinay has to prove its efficiency of providing governmental services through
effective sectoral participation.
With these laudable
achievements of the Local Government Unit/ LGU of Mabinay and its constituency,
the Mabinay Palangga Ko Ikaw (MPKI) Movement
is launched to promote a participatory governmental operations. It is an
interest group that calls for the positive acculturation of every Mabinayanon
stakeholder as better citizen of the municipality in specific, and the
Philippines in general.
Thus, this Mabinay Peoples’ Congress is aimed
on the following objectives:
(1) appreciate the significance of the Good
Housekeeping and Red Orchid Awards;
(2) formulate positive participation in the programs
and projects aligned for the said
awards;
(3) collate ideas to positively improve the programs
and projects in line with the
mentioned awards;
(4) encourage participatory planning for enhancing
programs and projects relative to the
awards; and
(5) exercise a culture of positivism.
