CLARK, PAMPANGA โ School Heads serving as Heads of Procuring Entities (HoPE), Administrative Officers, and BAC Secretariat personnel from San Manuel District successfully completed the three-day Division Training on the New Government Procurement Act (Republic Act No. 12009) held from May 27 to 29, 2026, at Royce Hotel in Clark, Pampanga. The training was initiated by the Schools Division Office of Pangasinan II in partnership with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).
The training equipped participants with updated knowledge and practical skills on the provisions of RA 12009, a landmark legislation that seeks to modernize government procurement by making it more transparent, efficient, accountable, and responsive to the needs of public service. Through various learning sessions and workshops, participants gained a deeper understanding of procurement planning, compliance requirements, and their critical roles in managing public funds responsibly.
As Brigada Eskwela 2026 officially begins and the opening of School Year 2026โ2027 approaches, the training has strengthened the readiness of San Manuel Districtโs school leaders and support personnel to effectively carry out procurement processes and financial management responsibilities in their respective schools. More importantly, it reinforces the commitment of every participant to uphold integrity, accountability, and good governance in the delivery of quality education.
The activity also underscored the importance of collaboration and partnership in achieving educational goals. During her message, Schools Division Superintendent (SDS) Dr. Vivian Luz S. Pagatpatan recognized the strong and enduring partnership between the Local Government Unit of San Manuel and the Department of Education. She emphasized that such collaboration continues to contribute significantly to the success of programs and initiatives that benefit both schools and learners.
The participants extend their heartfelt gratitude to Mayor Kenneth Marco S. Perez and Vice Mayor Alain Jerico S. Perez for their generous support through the provision of free hotel accommodation at Royce Hotel for the entire duration of the training. This gesture reflects the local governmentโs steadfast commitment to supporting educators, strengthening institutional capacity, and investing in initiatives that promote effective and accountable public service.
Special appreciation is likewise extended to Public Schools District Supervisor (PSDS) Dr. Leilani U Malicdem for her guidance and unwavering support, as well as to Dr. Roberto P. Sol, Principal IV of Flores Integrated School, for his initiative and coordination efforts with the LGU of San Manuel, which greatly contributed to the success of the activity.
Armed with enhanced competencies and a renewed sense of responsibility, the School Heads, Administrative Officers, and BAC Secretariat of San Manuel District are now better prepared to fulfill their duties as financial managers and procurement practitioners. As they return to their respective schools, they carry with them not only updated knowledge of the New Government Procurement Act but also a strengthened commitment to ensuring that every peso entrusted to education is managed with transparency, efficiency, and accountability for the benefit of every learner.
Through continuous professional development and strong stakeholder partnerships, San Manuel District remains committed to advancing educational excellence, good governance, and quality public service.
