Camaraderie, friendship and unity – the three main values that the Mina Town Hall Employees and Staffs wanted to develop between one another as it opens its MTH Inter-Office Sports Competition last March 6, 2017. The significant event started right after the flag ceremony with the words of welcome from SB Rose Kareen Defensor, SB chairman committee on sports. The official competition begins as Hon. Rey P. Grabato, Municipal Mayor, declared the Inter-Office Olympics open. The cheers from the different participating groups adds color to the prestigious event.

The said olympics was participated by MTH employees and staffs which were grouped into four groups representing four significant colors- the calm BLUE, life GREEN, Blazing RED and the chastity WHITE. The four teams will compete in different sports events- Volleyball, Baseball (Men), Softball (Women), Badminton, Table Tennis and Laro ng Lahi (patintero, Lisik-lisik, etc.).

The essence of competition as the momentous event continuous. Out of the performance of the different teams, the players who performs best will be choosen to compete on the Inter-Agency Summer Olympics which will happen on early days of April.

 

The Municipality of Mina joined in the celebration of the Registration month with the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) every February of the year. The highlight of the celebration was the conduct of a free mass wedding ceremony solemnized by the Hon. Rey P. Grabato. This was made free in order to encourage the couples to participate on the said activity.

The occasion was attended by the PSA representative Mr. Romulo Robles, Hon. Vice-Mayor Bernardino Chichirita who gave the opening remark, and Hon. Mayor Rey P. Grabato who officiated the ceremony and also gave his message.

         

In line with this yearly celebration, the Office of the Municipal Civil Registrar disseminates information with the 22 Punong Barangays of the municipality. This, to inform their constituents to visit the office and apply for marriage especially those who are already living together and have children but not yet married to participate on the said free mass wedding every 14^th day of February. In addition, we posted information on public places within the municipality reminding the couples of schedule of the mass wedding and requirements for marriage application. We remind them the importance of being married especially to their children’s birth certificate and legitimization.

                   

     

This year 2017, there were 11 couple coming from the different barangays who applied and participated in the event. Most of them were living together and have children of two or more and are members of indigent families in the municipality.

           

 

The said under taking became successful because of the cooperation of various sectors in the community headed by the LGU. This is also our way of making our constituents realized the importance of marriage and that poverty is not a hindrance for availing a legal marriage. With the number of couples participating every year indicates that the Local Civil Registrar have successfully campaigned for the purpose as we wait for more incoming activities in the future.

One of the fundamental pre-requisite to peace and development of an organization is the genuine transformation of leaders and technical people. For what is the heart of a man really manifests his daily life.

 

                With the presence of all  stakeholders, this is considered as an opportune time to discuss various matters, the highlight of which are the spiritual/moral enhancement . To install into the minds of everyone that with God everything is possible.

                Sharing of latest updates and issuances of CSC /DBM circulars which encourage and motivate employees to be more innovative and confident that contributes to the improvement of their work efficiency and living in the basic norms of conduct of public officials/employees and the importance of commitment to public service.
