                    LEAVING AN IMPRINT,

                   SUSTAINING A LEGACY

            Governor Cherry’s centerpiece Malasakit Agenda is anchored on the
        sustained improvement of the socio-economic programs and services of
        the  provincial  government  to make them  more  accessible  and  relevant
        to the needs of the Novo Ecijanos. Upon assumption of office, she gave
        orders to  revisit the  provincial  plans and  programs  on  infrastructure,
        health, agriculture, education, social welfare, and livelihood to ensure their
        responsiveness and consistency with identified priorities.
            On social responsibility, the Governor conducted regular
        consultations and extended advocacy and technical assistance to
        sectoral  federations  and  provincial  committee/council,  such  as:  the
        Provincial Committee for Disability Affairs, the Municipal Social Welfare
        and Development Officers, and the the Nueva Ecija Provincial Federation
        of Day Care Workers, among others.
            The governor  has also  taken  a wholistic approach  in crafting the
        provincial  agenda  for  women.  The Nutrition  and  Home  Management
        Services  was  tasked  in conducting  Nutrition  Mother  Classes  that
        initially  reached  626  mothers,  including  409  lactating  mothers,  in  14
        municipalities. Livelihood  skills training such  as  meat  processing,  food
        preservation, candy making, and soapmaking were also held attended by
        175 mothers.
            The GAD Focal Point System was institutionalized and strengthened
        following the renewal and approval of the Executive Order 002 series of
        2015. This paved the way for the holding of GAD seminar workshops for
        different stakeholders as well multimedia public information campaign on
        GAD concerns. Among the women-focused projects is the Tanglaw At Lakas
        ng Kababaihan (TALA) ng Nueva Ecija that facilitates trainings, livelihood
        programs, and civil rights awareness to women groups at the village level.
