Apart from the bulk of routine work, the Provincial

Apart from the bulk of routine work, the Provincial Administrator’s Office,
under the leadership of Victor M. Reyes, has been coordinating with all
departments, offices, as well as with other Local Government Units regarding the
implementation of the HEARTS priority programs. The Provincial Administrator’s
Office has also established protocols on systems procedures as well as internal
and external document processing to ensure smooth operations.
Protection and conservation of the natural environment has always been
one of the Governor’s strongest advocacies, and one which the Provincial
Administrator shares. That is why Governor Vilma Santos Recto has entrusted
majority of environmental programs and projects to Provincial Administrator.
Under his leadership, monitoring of activities around and within Taal Lake
was intensified to arrest illegal activities. Consultations among stakeholders and
thorough evaluation of the findings with the Task Force about the condition of
Taal Lake were also regularly held, to prevent further endangering the lake and
its resources.
Mining activities in the Province were also given due attention because of
the several catastrophic incidents in the country of late, brought about by natural
calamities. Task Force Likas Yaman, led by the Provincial Administrator Victor M.
Reyes, became more vigilant and enforced measures to regulate small scale
mining and stop illegal quarrying. Towards the latter part of the year, a monitoring
team was organized primarily to conduct assessment on the reported large scale
mining explorations in some parts of the Province.
Also under the Provincial Administrator’s leadership, the green revolution
was launched at the female detention center, thus the female inmates can now
grow their own greens. The rehabilitation of a minor cell has also commenced to
make way for an Infirmary Room. Monthly medical and dental checkups were
also conducted by a medical team from Provincial Health Office. Due assistance
was also given to inmates regarding their pending cases, with the help of Judge
Maria Marjorie Uyengco-Nolasco of RTC and a team of Public Attorney’s Office
or PAO lawyers.
The overall performance of the office of the Provincial Administrator
hinges on the inter – active participation of the entire personnel. Everyone shared
each contribution to meet our goal in the public service. Coordination was
exemplified to patch what was lacking to meet both ends in addressing the task
at hand. It is not yet perfect, but with right motivation and dedication generated
from everybody the office would perform to the best it could.
