THE Civil Service Commission (CSC) held the Regional HR Convocation 2026 on July 21, 2026 at Bohol Tropics Resort in Tagbilaran City to help government HR practitioners across Central Visayas exchange strategies for stronger and more efficient human resource systems.
The activity was organized to provide a venue for learning innovative practices that can improve personnel management and public service delivery in local government units.
To contribute to that goal, the City Government of Tagbilaran presented its digital human resource management innovations before HR officers and public sector leaders from the region.
Representing the city were City Human Resource Management and Development Office (CHRMDO) Head Cathelyn Torremocha, Assistant CHRMDO Head Karina Mae Bucoy, and In-House Systems Developer Lester Bernaldez.
They showcased Tagbilaran City’s Human Resource Management System (HRIS) and the city’s best practices in digital transformation.
The presentation demonstrated how technology-driven HR systems have streamlined personnel processes, improved records management, and enhanced workplace efficiency.
City officials explained that the adoption of digital solutions was meant to modernize human resource management and deliver faster, more responsive services to government employees.
The HRIS and the continuing digitalization of city systems also implement the first Executive Order of Mayor Jane Yap, which directs all city offices and departments to adopt digital innovations to improve public service.
“Innovation is at the heart of good governance,” Mayor Yap said.
“By embracing digital transformation, we are making government services more efficient, empowering our workforce, and ensuring that every improvement we introduce ultimately benefits the people we serve,” she added.
“We are honored to share Tagbilaran’s experience with fellow local government units across the region,” Mayor Yap said.
City officials said Tagbilaran’s participation in the convocation affirms its commitment to technology-driven governance.
The city also hopes to serve as a model for other LGUs working to build modern and responsive human resource management systems.
