Pineda conferred ‘most outstanding gov’ in Philippines

CITY OF SAN FERNANDO – Governor Lilia Pineda bagged the “Most Outstanding Governor” award during the 12th National Peso Congress held at the Baguio Country Club, Baguio City last October 11.

Luningning Vergara, Pampanga’s Public Employment Service Office (Peso) manager, disclosed that Pineda is now included in the roster of “Hall of Fame Awardees” as far as provision of employment services in the country is concerned.

And for the third time in a row, Vergara bagged the 2012 national championship award as the “Best PESO Manager” for first class province category.

Vergara said this is an affirmation of the commitment of the Pampanga Peso to support the Aquino agenda in strengthening local employment, of solving the job-skills mismatch, and of pushing back unemployment.

Vergara said the full support and effective working relationship with municipal-based Peso coordinators in the province, the governor, Peso’s partner agencies which include the Department of Labor and Employment (Dole) and the Bureau of Labor and Employment (BLE) contributed to award.

The search for “National Best PESO” is an annual recognition of the contribution of Peso on employment facilitation programs and of the implementation of relevant initiatives for its constituents. (Herbert Mapiles)
