In a bid to increase its surveillance capacity for Covid 19, the Department of the Interior and Local Government XII has started with the recruitment process of contact tracers as the Region battles the most recent spike in infections due to confirmed local transmission.
In a radio interview on Tuesday, Director Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III called on applicants who meet the minimum qualification standard such as having a Bachelor’s Degree relevant to the job, with preferred experience on any of the following:
“NOT one punong barangay from Region XII made to the dreaded list of barangay officials who had been placed on a six-month preventive suspension by the Office of the Ombudsman”.
This was confirmed over the weekend by RD Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III as she thanked all the field personnel and local officials about the latest “achievement” for the Region.
In a press release, DILG Secretary Eduardo M. Ano released the names of 89 punong barangays from all over the country who were suspended following the filing of complaints by the Department “for anomalies and irregularities involving the implementation of the first tranche of the Social Amelioration Program (SAP).”
