YES, sir. There are many competent and dedicated public servants in the Local Government Unit of City of San Fernando.
The City Human Resource Management Office came out with the winners of Natatanging Lingkod Bayani Award sa Gitna ng Covid.
The finalists are as follows, not in the order of merit:
1. Bernadette A. Tapnio is mainstay in the Department of Tourism. Tourism was wiped out during the Pandemic. Tapnio and her group reinvented themselves to be of service doing overtime without pay. She writes and writes very well. The Lantern Festival was celebrated with seven exhibitors despite the health protocols. This is largely due to Tapnio with the support of her immediate superior, Ching Pangilinan.
2. Jieanne Navarro is occupied in Contact Tracing as over-all coordinator. She has rapport with her co-employees. She is personification of calm under pressure, matured for her age of 27 years old. Here is one employee who goes beyond her call of duty.
3. Nelson Clacio is the focal person of the transport unit, cascading the health protocols to all drives plying the City. Thru his efforts, San Fernando is one of the few LGUs to resume public transport recognized by the LTFRB. He has no qualms about break times. He even reports during night time.
4. Adeline C. Aquino is a person with disability. She feels empathy for her clients. Being one of them, Aquino is dependable, she has a big heart a shoulder to cry on. She is an "ate" to all co-workers.
5. Alfred O. Masa is young yet responsible. In his 20's he has shown good communication by coordinating with barangay officials and residents of communities emphasizing the need for disinfection against Covid 19 and fogging operations against dengue fever. He has shown potentials for leadership.
6. Reynaldo Aquino is an enforcer. He issues tickets to violations and has gained the respect of the motoring public. He is almost a permanent fixture in Northville, maintaining peace and order in the area. He is an asset to POSCO.
7. Cynthia Fabian has a ready smile to those who seek the services of the City. She is assigned in task force surveillance where she distinguished herself with innovations and accomplishments during the time when it was needed.
8. The grand winner of the year's award is Amalia Catacutan. She heads the Isolation at Del Rosario. Unknown to some Fernandinos, we have our "own hospital" for Covid patients. Amy has gained the cooperation of her co-workers thru the power of example -- menu, budget, dealing with covid patients. This is done out of commitment. She has the heart of a true public servant. She is Mother Teresa reborn.
These are our frontliners. These are our heroes. They deserve our thanks. May their tribe increase!
