In line with the government’s continuous push to reach communities and bring public services closer to people, the DILG Regional Office XII, along with other partner agencies, successfully conducted the 4th Open Government and Participatory Governance Regional Town Hall Meetings, dubbed as Dagyaw, for the whole of SOCCSKSARGEN Region at EMR Famville, Koronadal City last July 25.

"The concept of Dagyaw is very simple. It's about bringing government projects to the people," said  DILG Undersecretary Jonathan E. Malaya during an interview.

DILG admin personnel of Region XII held nothing back to express their appreciation and gratefulness to the efforts shown by the regional management led by RD Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO V, in the recently concluded retooling seminar held in General Santos City.

Sixty-three personnel who showed up for the two-day activity were all in one voice as they said “thank you” in their own little way during the commencement part of the ‘human-resources enrichment’ event, considered by attendees to be one of its kind and was made possible only during the latter part of RD Leysa’s 7-month term.
