Certificate of Recognition given to Engr. Myles H. Funtila
The City OBO received the Top 1 City/Municipality in terms of Construction/Building Permits issued in 2021; the Top 1 City/Municipality in terms of Value of Construction in the Private Sector in 2021; and the First Place in 2021 Best Office of the Building Official.
The Best Office of the Building Official for 2021 was the first such award given during the Data Appreciation Forum.
"The Forum is now on its second year, but the 'Best Office of the Building Official' was only given this year, so it really is something for us to be proud of," said Engr. Myles Funtila, Head of OBO.
Engr. Funtila attributed the award to the personnel of OBO who supported the initiative to make changes in their archiving process and system when she first assumed as Officer in Charge of OBO in 2018. Other factors considered for the award include timeliness and completeness of the submitted approved building permits.
"The template that we submit is also now being presented by PSA as a template for other local government units to use for easier collection of data. It is the template that we submit every month along with the hard and scanned copies of all Permits we issued," explained Engr. Funtila.
