The Public Management Development Program – Local Government Executives and Managers Class (PMDP-LGEMC) Batch 20 Dasig Learners completed the onsite component of 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞 𝟓: 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐈𝐧𝐧𝐨𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐃𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 from September 21 to October 1, 2026, at the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) Conference Center in Tagaytay City.

The on-site sessions guided the scholars through a deeper analysis of pressing challenges in their respective local government units (LGUs), enabling them to identify opportunities and develop responsive, citizen-centered solutions. Through a series of workshops, consultations, and sessions, the scholars translated these local challenges into Innovation Project Concepts (IPCs) designed to address the needs and priorities of their communities.

Adding an alumni perspective to the learning journey, 𝐌𝐫. 𝐌𝐮𝐤𝐬𝐢𝐧 𝐈𝐈𝐈 𝐇. 𝐈𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐡𝐢𝐦, Local Youth Development Officer of Brooke’s Point, Palawan, and LGEMC Batch 17 – Busilak alumnus, and 𝐌𝐫. 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐨 𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐧𝐨 𝐕. 𝐓𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐪𝐮𝐞, Secretary to the Sangguniang Bayan of Tagkawayan, Quezon, and LGEMC Batch 18 – Hirang alumnus, shared their experiences and progress in developing and implementing their respective Innovation Project Concepts.

The alumni sharing provided Batch 20 scholars with practical insights on the packaging of Innovation Project Concepts, preparation for the Revalida, project implementation, and the adoption of project management tools in the workplace. More importantly, they shared how trusting the process and embracing the LGEMC learning journey helped them move their ideas from concept to action within their respective LGUs.

With their IPCs strengthened through technical feedback, strategic design, and the experiences shared by LGEMC alumni, the Batch 20 learners are now one step closer to turning local challenges into innovative solutions and contributing to more responsive and transformative public service in their communities.

During the two-day online policy brief presentations held on 22–23 September 2026, the learners presented proposals addressing priority concerns in agriculture, health, peace and order, environment and disaster risk reduction, economic development, social services and youth development, education, infrastructure, and tourism. Their outputs demonstrated how local data, stakeholder realities, and national development priorities can inform responsive legislation.

The presentations also provided an opportunity for the participants to test and refine their policy recommendations based on the feedback from the panel of experts composed of 𝐃𝐫. 𝐉𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐨𝐧 𝐆.

Led by Dr. Taguibao, the sessions guided learners in defining priority issues, examining their causes and effects, evaluating possible interventions, and translating their analysis into feasible legislative proposals.

The program likewise emphasized that sound policies must be anchored not only in evidence but also in integrity and public accountability.

Building on the foundation of the initial rollout, the course equips local leaders to translate emerging digital tools into actionable workplace solutions. Rather than covering theoretical concepts alone, the course challenges learners to identify real-world administrative bottlenecks in their daily operations and structure an “𝐋𝐆𝐔 𝐀𝐈-𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐨𝐟-𝐨𝐟-𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭" - a functional, working digital prototype built using no-code platforms and Vibe Coding.

In his opening remarks, DAP Center for Strategic Futures 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐀𝐫𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐓𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧 𝐑. 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐨𝐬 challenged local officials to move beyond basic adoption and prioritize meaningful, high-impact public service applications.
