RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc., Top Western Visayas City Mayors - Philippines Job Performance Ratings (June 25-July 5, 2023) |
Iloilo City Mayor Jerry Treñas topped again the regional job performance ratings conducted by the RP-Mission and Development Foundation Inc. (RPMD) this July, following the one in March.
Treñas achieved an 86.7% rating, higher than his
previous 82.9% score, in a Top Western Visayas City Mayors survey.
He placed sixth in RPMD’s March national poll, a
comprehensive evaluation of the performance of public officials using
face-to-face interviews with a total of 10,000 adult respondents and a sampling
margin of error of +/-1%.
Treñas stressed the achievement is a validation
of his priority WHEELS Program which focuses on Welfare, Health, Education,
Environment, Livelihood, and Sustainability.
The focal points of RPMD’s criteria encompass
seven vital categories: service delivery, financial stewardship, economic
progress, leadership and governance, environmental management, social services,
and public engagement.
The rigorous and independent study to assess
city mayors’ performance across the Philippines is a research initiative
meticulously constructed to scrutinize their efficacy against a broad spectrum
of evaluative criteria.
It covered 145 city mayors in assessing
leadership effectiveness within the archipelago as the extensive evaluation
plays a crucial role by reinforcing a robust accountability framework, ensuring
they discharge their duties with utmost efficiency and skill.
RPMD Executive Director Dr. Paul Martinez said
this fortifies good governance by examining mayors' adherence to legal and
ethical standards, dedication to civic engagement, and ability to deliver
public services efficiently.
"It also drives continuous improvement by
illuminating areas of growth, with valuable feedback and suggestions serving as
invaluable tools for mayors to refine their leadership skills, enhance their
strategic acumen, and elevate their proficiency in city administration," he
added.
RPMD's in-depth performance assessment of city
mayors furnishes valuable insights into their effectiveness and underscores the
importance of accountability, transparency, and exceptional; and spans a wide
array of facets, encouraging mayors towards constant improvement and
citizen-centric leadership.
On its website www.rpmd.ph, their field research specialists are based in
key cities in Metro Manila, Visayas, and Mindanao, and active representatives
monitor and analyze political trends and check on constituents’ viewpoints.
