To assist them in their employment journey, thirty-three newly appointed municipal employees of La Trinidad and Atok undergo onboarding sessions on June 17 and 18 at Jack's Center in Betag, La Trinidad, Benguet.

Of the 33, two employees come from the municipal local government unit of Atok who joined the activity, which aims to orient incoming regular employees of the policies of working as a civil servant.

Mayor Roderick C. Awingan welcomed the employees and reminded them that they are now entering public service, thus, they must not think only of themselves but for the benefit of others.

"As you work in the government, treat it not only as a source of income, but as a public service," Mayor Awingan said.

He said the employees must practice professionalism at all times and protect the name of the municipality, as well as co-employees from defamation. The mayor said employees must support one another in order to become effective civil servants.

"Let us enjoy our employment here. The best reward is not monetary gain, but the smile and appreciation from our constituents when we serve them well," he said.

The two-day onboarding seminar tackles topics such as gender and development, anti-bastos law and the Republic Act 11313 or the safe spaces act, leave administration, ethics in the workplace, administrative discipline, Civil Service Commission rules and office policies, and briefing on RSP (recruitment, selection, and placement), learning and development, and PRAISE (Program on Awards and Incentives for Service Excellence), and pledge of commitment.

Municipal Human Resource Management Office Head Imelda Obidos, who spearheads the activity, said the onboarding seminar was started in 2024, and when other municipal LGUs heard of their activity, they also started to bring their incoming regular employees to join the seminar. Last year, she said there were also participants from Tublay.

With this, Mayor Awingan said the activity is one of the best practices of the municipality, which was extended to other neighboring municipal LGUs of Benguet. This is La Trinidad's commitment to being a big brother to other municipal LGUs in Benguet, as its capital town.

As of June, there are close to 700 employees including regular, job orders, and casual employees serving in La Trinidad with a population of 142,925 as per the 2024 census.
