IMUKLAT CAMALIGAN: A Progressive Vision of a Better Administration

Integrity, Model, Unity, Kindle, Law Enforcement and Transparency (IMUKLAT) are the guiding principles of the new administration under the leadership of Mayor Emmanuel T. Prado also known as Mayor "Emman". The first 100 days of Mayor Emman's administration clearly manifested all these principles - not just in words but more in action.

Integrity may be seen with the Mayor's consistency in what he is saying and in what he is doing. His leadership is guided by his spirituality being a preacher and a missionary at the same time. His moral moorings make his political will lean more towards serving others rather than being served. The integrity of the new administration can be seen with the meaningful events and activities that the mayor launched during his first few months in the office.

Being a Model not just to his constituents but also to other sectors outside the municipality is one of the visions of Mayor Emman's leadership. Being a model starts with himself and the basics of public service. His visibility and availability from Monday's flag ceremony until Saturday's activities are proof of his sincerity to lead by example and to kep the trust of those who voted him to become the father of Camaligan.

To be United with the people and the rest of the stakeholders of Camaligan is a recurring reminder the mayor gives to himself. He believes that encouraging participatory leadership and being united with the community is one of the keys to progress and sign od a good leadership. This is the reason why all sectors of Camaligan were organized suring his 100 days in office. His administration believes that the people ought to participate in making Camaligan a more significanttown - to its constituents and outside the boundaries of the municipalty.

To Kindle is to give a new hope and a new awareness. Mayor Emman believes that Camaligan is not an insignificant town rather it has potentials for growth and progress. Camaligan can rise from mediocrity and Mayor Emman believes that these changes and encouragement ought to start from his office. This is the reason why transparency in public service is given a higher if not the highest value. He is unafraid of comments, suggestions or criticisms. He believes that moral uprightness in public service should not be and cannot be threatened by anyone, for goodness and truth alwas prevail and shine over the evil of unfounded and baseless criticism. His constant refrain is a verse from Proverbs 14:34 - "righteousness exalt a nation, but sin is a reproach to any person."

Strengthening Law Enforcement to keep the peace and order situation of Camaligan is part of Mayor Emman's agenda. The municipal police force, the municipal peace and order council, the barangay and all stakeholders were gathered and organized to consider the actions to be taken in keeping the peace and order situation of Camaligan. Fortunately, Camaligan is a relatively peaceful place, however, complacency is not included in the vocabulary of the mayor's administration. A good government is a peaceful government. A good leader promotes a good and dtrong law enforcement.

Action speaks louder that words. The first 100 days of Mayor Emman is ull of activities and action - gathering persons with disability, senior citiznes, business sectors and professionals, women sector, youth, doing cleanliness drives, blood letting, social services, to name a few. All of these activities transpired during the past months. Mayor Emman is a working mayor true to his promises that he shall serve this town above par of public service.

Transparency is one of the foundations of a strong public servant. Mayor Emman is transparent in form and in substance. His leadership may be taken in face valus and all the things in between can be seen in how he leads on a day to day basis. Mayor Emman is confident enough that he lead in good faith sincerity and love to do public service.

Mayor Emman always starts and ends his talk with a call - IMUKLAT CAMALIGAN. He invites all public servants and the community of Camaligan to wake up, to become more aware, to actively participate and to synergize all their efforts to give more meaning to public service.

Emmanuel T. Prado is a rookie mayor, however, he is full of dreams and aspirations for Camaligan and its people. He is leading with a progressive vision. His first 100 days of service shall continue until Camaligan reaches significance, until it becomes a beacon of a meaningful and real public service, until IMUKLAT CAMALIGAN becomes synonymous in the hearts and minds of its people.
