Lingayen, Pangasinan—Vice Governor Mark Ronald DG Lambino highlighted the importance of integrity during the regular flag-raising ceremony on January 15.
Relative to the value-focused on integrity, Lilibeth Z. Salazar and Maria Virginia D. Delos Santos, both from the Provincial Assessment Office, were commended by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) for their outstanding efforts and dedication following their recent discoveries and reporting of the fake Electronic Certificate Authorizing Registrations, or ECAR.
“Several thousand pesos should have been forgone if they had not noticed the fake ECAR,” the letter of commendation stated.
According to the BIR’s official website, “the Electronic Certificate Authorizing Registration (eCAR) is an attestation by the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR) Commissioner (or his duly authorized representative) which confirms that the taxes incurred in the transfer of real and personal properties have already been paid.”
“Thus, integrity is doing what is right, what is proper, what is just, and what is fair to everyone concerned.”
Following this earlier statement, the vice governor added that integrity is the most simple yet very fragile trait of an employee, which can only be strengthened through the cooperation and support of every employee.
The vice governor likewise assured that the present administration values every employee for all their work and sacrifices.
“This administration, the leadership sees everything in the value that you provide for the Capitol. Lahat po ng ginagawa niyo ay binibigyang halaga po ng administrasyon na ito,” VG Lambino said.
He further stated that everything that has been done in the past 18 months to achieve the goals and directions set by the governor can be attributed to the efforts and initiative of Gov. Ramon V. Guico III and the Sangguniang Panlalawigan Members, with the cooperation of every employee.
VG Lambino urged the Capitol employees to help each other, carry each other’s hand, support the organization, and support the province of Pangasinan, as there are tons more things to do in the province.
“Kung wala po kayo, wala pong itegridad ang bawat isang empleyado dito sa ating lalawigan, hindi po natin ma-attain yong ating mga gusto para sa ating kababayan, at yon po ay ang pinaka magandang buhay para sa mga Pangasinense,” Lambino said.
