Negros Occidental Governor Eugenio Jose Lacson has urged the 127 newly hired and promoted employees of the provincial government to uphold integrity, professionalism, and accountability in carrying out their duties.
Lacson delivered the message during the job orientation, oath-taking, and pinning ceremony held at Nature’s Village Resort in Talisay City on Nov. 6.
Congratulating the employees, the governor encouraged them to find fulfillment in their respective positions while remaining committed to providing excellent and ethical public service to the Negrense community.
In a statement, Lacson stressed that competence and hard work must always be anchored on honesty, accountability, and ethical conduct, regardless of an employee’s position or level of authority.
While recognizing the importance of constructive criticism in improving government services, Lacson urged employees at the Capitol and provincial government-run hospitals to earn public trust through their actions, professionalism, and respectful treatment of the people they serve.
The ceremony was also attended by First District Board Member Araceli Somosa, chairperson of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan committee on human resource, along with Capitol department and office heads and chiefs of provincial government-run hospitals.
Provincial Administrator Rayfrando Diaz II reminded the employees to wear their pins as badges of honor and symbols of the privilege and responsibility entrusted to them.
He urged them to serve all Negrenses with compassion, honesty, and efficiency. | GPB
