On January 17, 2023, the National Irrigation Administration (NIA) Caraga conducted a seminar regarding Republic Act No. 6713, otherwise known as the "Code of Conduct and Ethical Standards for Public Officials and Employees," with its resource speaker, Attorney Regie T. Mag-usara, Attorney IV, NIA Caraga Legal Officer, at the NIA Caraga Conference Hall, Bancasi, Butuan City.
The lecture drew 120 NIA-CARAGA employees of various ranks, roles, and employment statuses. The activity was spearheaded by Regional Manager June Nathaniel S. Plaza and was conducted as part of the agency’s commitment to enforce conformity at all times with the norms of job performance and personal conduct, protecting the rights and interests of its employees, and fostering personal responsibility and respect for the workplace, its property, and coworkers.
The purpose of the activity is to promote a high standard of ethics in public service and to instill in the minds of the employees that, as public servants, they must always be accountable to the people and shall discharge their duties with utmost responsibility, integrity, competence, and loyalty; act with patriotism and justice; lead modest lives; and place public interest above personal interest, in accordance with Republic Act No. 6713 and other relevant government issuances, administrative orders, memoranda, and circulars.
In addition, the seminar shall help achieve optimal performance of the agency, thereby helping the employees develop their values, strengthen their dedication to public service, and promote the primacy of public interest over personal interest in the fulfillment of their duties.
