Pidjanga

(Glossogobius giuris) is a freshwater fish native to Mainit Lake. It is called “biya” in Tagalog and “white goby or tank goby” in English. The term “pidjanga” is also sometimes fondly used to refer to the Mainitnons, the people of the Municipality of Mainit, a town in Southern Philippines. This blog hopes to capture potentials of Migrants Pidjangas for the Development of our Town by attempting to document development issues, folk stories, and current concerns, about the Pidjanga — both the fish and the people.

2007-2009 Sanggunian Bayan (Konsehales) Accomplishments

Thanks to VM Mano Banoy for positively responding to the PIDJANGA monitoring of LGU accomplishments. After reading my posts on the non-accomplishments of ALL the konsehales (SB Members), he informed me of the lengthy Executive-Legislative Agenda (or ELA) which is constantly monitored through an annual accomplishment report. Here's a glimpse of ELA Accomplishment Reports for 2007-2009 - the number of resolutions authored and approved per SB member:

1. AL RODIN CRISOLOGO BEHAGAN
2007 - 2, 2008 - 4, 2009 - 0
Total - 6

2. ROXIE SY SALINO
2007 - 2, 2008 - 8, 2009 - 3
Total - 13

3. CAYETANO LAREZA RECABO
2007 - 11, 2008 - 21, 2009 - 11
Total - 43

4. RONNIE NAVIDAS MOSENDE
2007 - 6, 2008 - 2, 2009 - 1
Total - 9

5. NELSON RECABO REYES
2007 - 20, 2008 - 46, 2009 - 21
Total - 87

6. ELADIO BADILLA ENDICO JR.
2007 - 2, 2008 - 2, 2009 - 1
Total - 5

7. FELY MANTEZA ODTOJAN
2007 - 3, 2008 - 6, 2009 - 1
Total - 10

8. ARTURO MOSENDE MOSOTE
2007 - 4, 2008 - 7, 2009 - 1
Total - 12

Wow, this is quite revealing! Imagine... THREE YEARS worth of legislative work!!!

If numbers is our ONLY indicator of performance, then this could be our interpretation:
Top performing councilors: Mano Nelson and Tano
Least performing councilors (less than 10 resolutions): Nonong, Ronnie, Jun (Endico)

Well, we still have to see the "quality" of these resolutions (hope to find time analyzing them) and determine whether these are also functions of "committee" meetings.

What can you say? Labjog!

(Again, thanks Mano Banoy for sharing the reports. Looking forward to receive too the 2009 SOMA of Mayor Ramon)

When will the time come when eligibilities for an elective post be upgraded, i.e. raising the educational background? To be able to read and write as a qualification is baloney! Yet in our case, the least performing actors are, let us say, educationally qualified, only that they might have not used their heads! Or maybe they are too busy with something else. For those topnotchers, they owe their medals to the executive because they have been loyal as barkers!
