Initiate and spearhead good ideas that will benefit the system where we do our work,” Brother John said.

He further emphasized the importance of the attitude that a DAR employee should have, like giving respect and treating co-employees as family and not as competitors.

Also present during the oath-taking were Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officers of DAR-Ilocos Region and their respective division heads along with other personnel and staff.

Castriciones pinamunuan ang panunumpa ng mga empleyado ng DAR-Ilocos region

Isang seremonya sa panunumpa para sa bagong itinalaga at na-promote na mga empleyado ng DAR-Ilocos region ang pinamunuan ni Department of Agrarian Reform (DAR) Brother John Castriciones kung saan pinangasiwaan niya ang panunumpa ng 18 empleyado na nagmula sa mga tanggapan ng DAR sa La Union, Pangasinan, Ilocos Norte at Ilocos Sur.

Sa seremonya, binigyang diin ni Brother John ang kanilang mahalagang papel sa pagpapatupad ng mandato ng kagawaran ng pamamahagi ng mga lupain at pagpapatupad ng mga proyekto at programa para sa mga agrarian reform beneficiaries (ARBs).

“Ang bawat isa sa inyo ay may gagampanan, trabahong dapat gawin. Inaasahan kong sa pagtatalaga at promosyon na ito, patuloy kayong magbibigay ng iyong makakaya sa pagtulong sa mga magsasaka upang maiangat ang antas ng kanilang pamumuhay. Mag-isip ng hindi pangkaraniwan. Simulan at pangunahan ang mga magagandang ideya na pakikinabangan ang sistema kung saan ginagawa natin ang ating mga trabaho,” ani Brother John.

Binigyang diin rin niya ang kahalagahan ng ugali na dapat mayroon ang isang empleyado ng DAR, tulad ng pagbibigay-respeto at pagtrato sa mga katrabaho bilang pamilya at hindi bilang mga kakumpetensya.

Hinimok naman ni DAR Ilocos Regional Director Primo Lara ang lahat na maglingkod nang may buong integridad at "humayo at tingnan kung paano mailalagay ang kanilang kakayahan para sa pinakamahusay na serbisyo sa pamayanan."

Dumalo rin sa panunumpa ang mga Provincial Agrarian Reform Program Officers ng DAR-Ilocos Region at ang kani-kanilang mga pinuno ng dibisyon kasama ang iba pang tauhan at kawani.
