Through the Department of Interior Local Government (DILG), the City’s Local Economic and Business Development Office (LEBDO) was awarded with the Safety Seal last Aug. 16, 2021.

According to LEBDO Assistant Department Head Atty. Ruby Jean N. Balanon, they were the first office in the City Hall Main Building to be awarded with the Safety Seal for compliance with minimum public health standards.

“First office po within the City Main Building, pero ‘yung City Hall Main Building, may safety seal na,” she said. “Nag-comply po tayo sa lahat ng requirements doon sa checklist na provided po ng DILG, kaya po tayo nabigyan ng Safety Seal.”

Aside from the online health declaration, “Dito sa office po namin, nagpapa-logbook po tayo ng clients para masigurado na meron way for contact tracing kung magkaroon man ng virus infection. Ang mga offices natin ay may kanya-kanya tayong mga clients, mas masisigurado natin ‘yung safety nila,” she added.

To encourage the other City Government offices, Atty. Balanon said, “Mag-comply po tayo ng requirements ng Safety Seal Program ng National Government para mabigyan sila ng Safety Seal award. Simple lang naman ‘yung mga requirements.”

Also present during the inspection and awarding were the City DILG Officer Lily Ann O. Colisao, City LEBDO Officer Rizalyn Medrano, and a representative from the Safety Inspection Team.

Congrats, LEBDO! Thank you for ensuring the safety of your employees and clients. We hope you serve as an example to the commercial and government offices so that the COVID-19 minimum health standards are practiced at all times wherever we are here in #SanFernandoTayo.
