DILG VI Evaluates PDMU Systems, Sets Direction for 2026
With the objective of evaluating and enhancing the overall performance of the Project Development and Management Unit (PDMU), a two-day Operations and Fiduciary Review was held from November 17 to 18, 2025 at J7 Hotel, Iloilo City.
DILG Region VI Regional Director Juan Jovian E. Ingeniero, CESO III emphasized that the review serves as a crucial platform to assess performance, reinforce accountability, and strengthen support to Local Government Units and communities as the Department prepares for Fiscal Year 2026.
The activity also served as an avenue for the Office of Project Development Services (OPDS) to gather information on the current systems, challenges, and recommendations from the PDMU and their Field Office counterparts in order to further enhance operational strategies and support mechanisms. Insights shared during the review seek to build stronger coordination and more responsive interventions for LGUs and their communities.
Dutifully noted by DMO IV John Paul Padonia and DMO III Louie Cañete of the OPDS-DILG Central Office, findings and determinations gathered from the Audit will be endorsed to the Department’s Top Management as additional reference for data-driven decision-making.
