| FOREWORD |
Once again I am very proud to present to the people of the province of Biliran and to our partners in the development of the province our accomplishments during the year 2005 as contained in this Annual Report.
This document presents more completely and clearly the results of operation of the Provincial Government of Biliran last year than what I presented in my State of the Province Address (partly a mid-year report), which I delivered before the Sangguniang Panlalawigan last May 11, 2005 on the occasion of our 13th Provincehood Anniversary celebration. The publication of this report will help promote transparency in local governance, and engages us local officials to be accountable to our constituents as we pursue multi-faceted development goals - goals that will ultimately uplift the living conditions of the ordinary Biliranon.
The Annual Report describes fairly how we fared in the implementation of our initiatives (priority programs, projects, and activities) that directly or indirectly addressed the concerns affecting our constituents: poverty alleviation, provision of basic services, livelihood, environmental protection and preservation, and social, economic and infrastructure development. The strategic directions and policies that we adopted in pursuit of our goals were in accord with our framework for sustainable development.
Allow me then to thank the provincial officials and employees as well as the other stakeholders, both from government and the private sector, whose unwavering and valuable support and assistance helped us achieve these accomplishments. I further appeal for more unity and better collaboration so that together we can effectively confront the greater challenges ahead as we strive for the realization of our development goals.
