Maasin City (4 April) -- The provincial Assessor, a head of office in the province of Southern Leyte, received an award last week from the nationwide organization of assessors and treasurers for outstanding work performance.

Norman Ordiz, the province's incumbent Assessor the past three years, was chosen as one of the Top Ten Outstanding Assessors of the Philippines from a national field of over 5000 assessors and treasurers.

On March 27, Ordiz accepted the plaque of recognition for the award at the Mall of Asia in Manila during a country-wide assembly of the Philippine Association of Local Assessors and Treasurers (PHALTRA).

Ordiz told PIA he did not know -- and he was never informed -- that he was nominated for the prestigious award.

This year, 2008, PHALTRA observes its diamond anniversary, and one of the activities initiated to highlight the celebration was the Search for top ten outstanding Assessors and Treasurers.

Consequently, the Regional Director of the Bureau Local Government Finance (BLGF) was tasked to submit the names of nominees per region from the month of December, 2007, up to February, 2008.

Throughout the screening and nominating process, the BLGF Director in Region 8 did not inform Ordiz that he was one of those considered, said Ordiz.

The criteria for selection has a different set for Assessors and Treasurers, it was learned. For the Assessors, the first criterion on "Average increase in taxable assessed value of Real Property for the last three years (2004-2007)" was rated 50% for those having 50% or more average increase in assessed value.

Ordiz said he got 100% here, since the province had 54% average increase in taxable assessed value of real properties.

On the criterion for the submission of required reports, which was rated 30%, the province also got a perfect score here since it has been timely in passing reports and in fact has been cited as number one in doing so for Region 8.

The Unit Performance Evaluation was 20%, and Ordiz said he had no idea of his grade on this criterion since this has been handled by the Central Office.

Ordiz assumed as the provincial Assessor of Southern Leyte in the year 2005. (PIA-Southern Leyte)
