ANGONO, Rizal - The La Union Provincial Government visited and conducted a study tour and benchmarking activity in the province of Rizal as their chosen destination in the said program.
The objective of the visit was to learn from the best practices and experiences of Rizal in terms of local governance, tourism development, and environmental management.
During the tour, the La Union delegation, led by their board members, Hon. Joy Ortega and Hon. Henry Balbin, had the opportunity to interact with local officials and stakeholders, visit key tourist sites, and observe various programs and projects implemented by the Rizal government.
They participated in the two-day program prepared for them by the Rizal Provincial Capitol, which included discussions and tours in the province 's different municipalities. Henry found the experience insightful and informative, gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges and successes of local governance in Rizal.
The insights gained from this benchmarking activity will be used by La Union to improve its own policies and programs for the benefit of its constituents .
Officials of the La Union Provincial Government went to some selected tourist destinations in Rizal, such as the Angono-Binangonan Petroglyphs, Pinto Art Museum, Antipolo Cathedral, Pasalubong Center, and others, as part of the program.
They were impressed by the level of community involvement in the decision-making process in Rizal and learned that the active participation of citizens is crucial in achieving effective and sustainable governance. La Union plans to adopt this approach to encourage greater community engagement and collaboration in local governance.
The goal of this study and benchmarking activity is the exchange of ideas and knowledge between the two provinces in various sectors, including tourism, health, business housing, and others, where they can be used for the development of their respective provinces, and the two provinces have even closer relations.
The visit of the La Union Provincial Government for their benchmarking activity ended successfully and productively.
