The Office of the Provincial Agriculturist (OPAg) and Local Economic Enterprise and Investment Promotions Unit (LEEIPU) refine their commitments to the Province's Stronger La Union Strategy by undergoing Strategic Execution Workshops on June 10 and 17, respectively at the Provincial Capitol, City of San Fernando, La Union.

With the theme, "Reaping Stronger Results for a Stronger La Union," the workshops aims to assess and identify the office's current operations for enhancement, revisit their strategic initiatives, and finalize their list of high-impact Programs, Projects, and Activities (PPAs).

Provincial Agriculturist Col. Ramon F. Laudencia and LEEIPU head Ms. Charito C. Dator, together with their respective key staff members, participated in the workshops. Said activities were led by Governor Pacoy together with Provincial Administrator Agnes Grace A. Cargamento, Provincial Planner Michaela Louise T. Delfinado, and facilitated by the Office for Provincial Strategy headed by Assistant Chief Noemi R. Jucar.

Through the workshop, the participating offices were able to conduct environmental scanning to identify their strengths and weaknesses which is necessary in identifying their high-impact PPAs, to include Backyard/Community Gardening, Establishment of Farm Schools, and Market Matching for OPAG, and Investment Portal, conduct of Start-Up Competition, Employment programs, and MSME Congress for LEEIPU. Follow-up sessions and consultations shall be conducted to ensure achievement of the workshops' objectives.

Gov. Pacoy emphasized to the participants that as public servants, everyone is expected to keep improving and strive to become better versions of themselves to deliver better performances. He added, "I say all these because, at the end of the day, as I always say, we are working for the people of La Union… And our people deserve the best public service there is."

The workshop will be another leap for the PGLU as we continue our pursuit for transformative good governance in order to build a Stronger La Union: a Province worth living in.
