Sotto noted that launching a formal accreditation process for CSOs in accordance with national laws is a first in the history of Pasig City.

“As we open the doors and give opportunities to not simply be observers and watchdogs, we are not merely beneficiaries, but partners of our local government,” said Pasig City Mayor Vico Sotto during the Civil Society Organization Conference 2022 that formally opened the first ever accreditation process of CSOs in the city.

As the initiative improves and progresses, accredited CSO groups will have the opportunity to select representatives who will join local special bodies such as city council committees, and capacity building activities and groups. Within 2020, they leveled up to starting consultations and dialogue with CSOs, asking for their inputs in the projects and programs of the city.

The local government does not pursue this initiative merely for compliance, Sotto said, but to deepen the integration of citizens in local government processes. “Ang ginagawa po nating ehersisyong ito ay patibay o pagpapatibay na buhay na buhay, hindi lamang ang demokrasya sa ating lungsod, pero ang isang demokrasya na talagang tunay na patungo sa good governance and transparency sa ating lungsod ,” Jaworski said.
