The provincial government of Nueva Vizcaya, led by Governor Atty. Jose "Jing" V. Gambito, has initiated the “Free WiFi Ti Umili” program, providing free internet access to 101 barangays. The launch was marked by a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) signing ceremony, which not only featured local officials but also key partners instrumental in the project’s implementation.

During the event, Governor Gambito highlighted the importance of digital connectivity in modern society. “In this digital age, internet access is a basic right and not a privilege. This project reaffirms our commitment to equip our citizens with the necessary resources to thrive in the digital world,” he remarked.

The program targets barangays across various municipalities including Alfonso Castañeda, Aritao, Bagabag, Bambang, Bayombong, Dupax del Norte, Dupax del Sur, Santa Fe, and Solano. It is the first phase of a broader initiative to enhance digital access across the province, with an allocation of 24 million pesos from the provincial budget.

Present at the MOA signing were several key figures, including Engr. Pinky T. Jimenez, Regional Director of the Department of Information and Communications Technology (DICT) Cagayan Valley, represented by Engr. Magdalena Gomez. Also in attendance were MGB Regional Director Mario Ancheta and Atty. Joan D. Adaci-Cattiling, President of Oceana Gold Philippines. Their involvement underlines the collaborative effort between the provincial government and its partners to ensure the success of the “Free WiFi Ti Umili” program.

Members of the Sanggunian Panlalawigan, including Liga ng mga Barangay President Board Member John Babliing, were also present. Board Member Babliing expressed his gratitude on behalf of the barangays, acknowledging the significant impact this project will have on the communities. “We are immensely thankful to the provincial government and all partners for bringing this vital service to our barangays. This initiative is not just about internet access; it’s about opening up countless opportunities for our residents,” he stated.

Ms. Sherlyn B. Fernandez, head of the Provincial Information and Technology Division and officer in charge of the program’s implementation, discussed the selection of the pilot barangays and future expansion plans. “These initial 101 barangays are just the starting point. Our goal is to eventually include all 275 barangays in Nueva Vizcaya, making sure every citizen can benefit from this initiative,” she explained.

The “Free WiFi Ti Umili” program is a key component of Governor Gambito’s administration, reflecting a broader commitment to modernize infrastructure and enhance the quality of life for residents through technological advancements. The initiative supports educational and economic opportunities, particularly critical during the ongoing global challenges.

In a notable effort to bolster transparency and accountability in local governance, Governor Atty. Jose "Jing" V. Gambito addressed over 500 barangay captains and treasurers in Nueva Vizcaya, emphasizing the critical importance of integrity in managing public funds. The message was delivered during the “Accountable Tayo! Skill Training on Basic Local Treasury Operations,” a two-day event held at the Nueva Vizcaya Convention Center on February 15-16.

Governor Gambito, in his heartfelt address, urged the local officials not to succumb to the temptations of misusing public funds. “Huwag na huwag ninyo pag interesan ang pera ng mga tao, hindi nyo ito ikakayaman bagkus ikakasira nyo ito,” he stated, highlighting the destruction that comes from betraying public trust. He underscored the responsibility of the barangay officials to safeguard the people’s money and maintain the trust and confidence vested in them by their constituents.

The training was organized by the provincial government through the Provincial Treasury Office, led by Provincial Treasurer Rhoda S. Moreno. The initiative aims to equip the newly elected barangay captains and treasurers, along with all accountable officers, with essential knowledge on local treasury operations and the essence of accountability.

With more than 500 participants, the event featured resource speakers from the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF), Commission on Audit, Provincial Treasury, and the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG). Topics covered during the training included Barangay Taxing Powers, Real Property Tax, Barangay Fund Management, Fidelity Bond, Cash Booking Rules, and Guidelines.

Provincial Treasurer Moreno highlighted the training’s objectives, which are to raise awareness for a more transparent, functional, and reliable service through comprehensively bridging the knowledge gap on local treasury operations, fidelity bond, and all other necessary guidelines regarding the collection and disbursement of government funds. Additionally, the event served as a venue to unify the barangay treasurers of the province towards common goals and objectives as fiscal managers.

Elevating the significance of the event, Vice Governor Eufemia A. Dacayo and Board Member Patricio F. Dumlao were in attendance, further emphasizing the training’s importance and the provincial government’s unwavering commitment to promoting good governance. Their presence, alongside BM John F. Babliing, President of the Liga ng mga Barangay, who also participated, underscored the collective resolve of Nueva Vizcaya’s leadership to uphold the highest standards of integrity and accountability in public service.

The “Accountable Tayo!” training is part of the provincial government’s ongoing efforts to enhance the capabilities of local officials in Nueva Vizcaya, ensuring they serve their constituents with the highest standards of integrity and accountability.
