Strengthening Values in Public Service
BACOLOD - To promote values-oriented and ethical public service, the Moral Recovery Program (MRP) – Bacolod Core Group conducted its oath-taking ceremony on Friday, September 4, under the new administrative setup of the Negros Island Region (NIR). The initiative brings together representatives from the local government, Philippine National Police, and other government agencies committed to strengthening integrity and positive values in public service.
Promoting Integrity Across Government Agencies
The Moral Recovery Program provides a framework for encouraging good values, responsible leadership, and ethical conduct among public servants. Through the participation of different government institutions, the Bacolod Core Group aims to promote cooperation and shared responsibility in building a culture of integrity within government. The initiative highlights the importance of values formation in delivering effective and people-centered public service.
Continuing the Moral Recovery Program’s Mission
The MRP was established through Presidential Proclamation No. 62, issued on September 30, 1992, and was further strengthened through Executive Order No. 319 in 1996. Its continued implementation in Bacolod under the new NIR setup reflects the ongoing effort to reinforce moral values and accountability in government. By bringing agencies together under a common values-oriented program, the initiative supports the development of a more ethical, responsive, and trustworthy public service.
