NIA, Under a new administration

A sectoral briefing for the new Administrator Proceso T. Domingo was conducted on the 1st and 2nd week of February 2005 at its sector’s conference room with the Sector Head, Department Managers, Project Managers and Division Managers as the presentors.

 

Aimed to orient and brief the Administrator, the presentations cover different subjects outlined by the Corporate Planning Staff as to organization, ongoing activities/projects and status, plans and programs, issues and concerns, recommendations and expectations from the new management.

 

Administrator Domingo who is “so familiar and knows exactly what is going on” showed encouragement and quick response to various problems encountered by the sector concerned. According to PTD, what is important is how we can move on and share insights as to how we can fulfill all our duties and functions for a smooth system operations within the Agency. Despite the limited budget for this year, the Administrator is encouraged by the NIA’s seemingly new found resolve in getting things moving. He hoped that NIA may finally be making significant progress in its reform program. 

The sectoral briefing has been scheduled for each sector starting with the Office of the Administrator, Deputy Administrator, Project Development and Implementation, Systems Operation and Equipment Management, Finance and Management and Administrative Services.

The newly installed administrator assured all the departments of the necessary support  they need in performing their duties and functions at its best. He promised to continuously make National Irrigation Administration the purveyor of Agricultural Development.
