32 Quality Management System DILG-NCR was given a Special Quality Award last December for being the first regional office to develop its quality manuals and implement the ISO Quality Management System (QMS). DILG-NCR’s QMS Secretariat, headed by LGOO VI Adrian Lopez led the preparations and implementation of the QMS in the region. Different activities were lined up for the year to ensure its effective implementation. DILG-NCR leaders and key personnel also gathered in August to revisit its Annual Operational Plan and Budget (AOPB) and address concerns for its fulfillment. The activity became a venue to dis- cuss the region’s action plan in reaching its AOPB targets, which include effective QMS implementation and ISO certification. The Secretariat conducted a series of activities to communicate its QMS to its key field personnel to ensure that all processes done in both the regional and field offices are aligned with the ISO stan- dards. This was coupled with capacity development interventions for key personnel which includes risk identification, evaluation and control and internal quality audit. Annual Report 2017
