Provincial Environment and Natural Resources Officer (PENRO) Juan Dela Cruz over-all
leadership score is 68.76%. His main strength is in Strategic Focus (74.48%) or setting a plan
of action to achieve a long-range goal and vision for the organization, taking into account the
strengths and weaknesses and the opportunities and threats in the internal and external
environment. Noteworthy of his efforts are: the regular conduct of management conferences
in the province where all Community Environment and Natural Resources Officers
(CENROs) and PENR Office sector heads are gathered to set targets, monitor the
accomplishment of these targets, and assess the reasons for any delays and consequently
propose catch-up strategies; and the weekly submission of the monitoring reports of all staff
on top of the monthly accomplishment reports which must be reported by the
sector/officer/division head during Monday Convocation Program1.

PENRO Dela Cruz is likewise a strong performer when it comes to Service Orientation and
Management Acumen, earning percentage scores of 73.84 and 71.29, respectively. His being
service-oriented is manifested through active involvement in the design and/or delivery of
information, education and communication (IEC) materials/campaigns for programs, projects

and activities (PPAs) and regulatory and frontline services. His innovation is also evident
following a number of initiative to improve IEC strategies (i.e. radio program Takna sa
DXWB and DXEB) and mode of service provision (i.e. document tracking system with the 5-
day response time proviso and enlisting the help of the community in stopping illegal logging
activities).
For the Management Acumen, PENRO Dela Cruz is particularly effective in enforcing
existing systems and introducing new ones to manage and control financial resources (i.e.
appointing internal auditor) and monitor the performance of subordinates (i.e. submission of
weekly monitoring report).

leadership criteria
Least of his performance as a leader is on criteria, Integrity and Network Building (table 1
and figure 1). The relatively poor showing of PENRO in the first criterion is due to the
existence of two pending cases filed against him at the Office of the Ombudsman for the
violation of Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices Act or RA 3019 and the revised Penal Code.
This is even reinforced by the low rating of his subordinates and/or superior on his perceived
non-compliance with certain provisions of the DENR Code of Conduct (i.e. gifts policy and
nepotism) and the absence of documentary proof on his claimed innovations to promote a
culture of integrity in the organization.
PENRO’s Network Building ability is given a rating of 69.49%. The apparent problem here is
not the absence of his efforts to build and strengthen partnership, but the nature and extent of
partner’s involvements which remain very limiting to PPA implementation and are conducted
as a one-time initiative or largely driven by the whole design of the project/program/activity.
PENRO’s initiatives to formalize and establish guidelines on their meaningful engagement
(e.g. entire PPA phases, goal setting and giving feedback to organizational outcomes) are still
found wanting.

leadership criteria
It is also worth mentioning how scores per assessment tool differ. As illustrated in Figure 2,
there is considerable divergence in the pattern of document review and the survey results
most especially for Integrity. This might imply that while subordinates and superior’s
perceptions on PENRO’s leadership are consistently favourable, they are not readily backed
up and/or are contradicted by documentary evidence. A glaring example is the overwhelming
average agreement response on questions about implementation of Citizen’s Charter (CC) in
the survey but some key informant cannot even recall if PENRO has indeed ordered the
adoption of it much less present a CC document. This is also the case for the alleged
improvements and innovations PENRO has spearheaded in certain criteria.
In concluding, the results of the assessment point out which areas PENRO should spend more
attention to in order to improve his leadership. The review however reveals that the biggest
challenge for PENRO’s leadership would be to arrest the problem of poor records
management and the lack of documentation on systems/mechanisms and his purported
innovations/improvements. While at present, systems seem to function even in the absence or
lack of proper documentation and records management, this might not be a sustainable set-up
in the long-run.

Leadership Evaluation Report: Juan N. Dela Cruz
PENRO – Province Z, Region N
I.A. Background
In 1989, the department launched its annual performance evaluation activities. From
its initial design that focused heavily on paper-based review of accomplishment
reports as basis for determining organizational performance, the evaluation
framework was later enhanced to incorporate additional activities to verify reported
accomplishments, and expanded the coverage of evaluation to include performance of
key agency officials at the national and field levels. From 1989 to 1999, the DENR
conducted all evaluation activities in-house.
After its last implementation in 1999, the DENR management decided to revive its
performance evaluation considering the unprecedented pressure for government
entities to continuously improve their performance in support of the thrusts of the
Aquino administration. The management further recognizes the importance of
generating objective performance information in planning and decision-making. This
time, however, the DENR is proactively pursuing a third party evaluation approach
and identified the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) to evaluate the
efficiency and effectiveness of the department in performing its mandate, including
leadership performance at the field operations level.
It is within this context that the DAP proposed the implementation of the DENR-
Performance Evaluation Program (PEP).

I.B. Objectives
The overall goal of the PEP is to help promote a culture of organizational and
leadership excellence in the DENR as it carries out its important role in ensuring the
conservation, management, development and proper use of the country’s environment
and natural resources.
Specifically, the proposed PEP aims to:
Determine the efficiency and effectiveness of DENR and its line bureaus in
delivering its mandate; and
Recognize and commend DENR field executives and officers for their exemplary
leadership and key accomplishments and contributions in pursuing the
department’s goals and objectives.

a. Document Review
In the document and key informant interview (KII), PENRO Dela Cruz got a score of 8.5%
out of the maximum possible score of 25%.
Of the three levels, he got the highest score at level two or on ensuring that his employees
will comply with the requirements of Republic Act 3019 or Anti-Graft and Corrupt Practices
Act and the DENR Code of Conduct. Some of his efforts include the regular conduct of
Monday Convocation Program where he reminds employees about the provisions of the Code
and other related issuances. But while this effort was consistently lauded by his staff during
KII, no documentary evidence was given that will support this claim.
Other than these, PENRO also installs additional system to increase efficiency and
transparency in the delivery of basic services, specifically in land titling. During the
implementation of Land Administration and Management Project (LAMP), he together with
concerned personnel conducts barangay assemblies to inform the people about the process,

the fees involved and who are the authorized collecting officer for applying land patent title.
However, no document was provided as proof that this system was indeed adopted.
During KII and DR, PENRO appears to be a person who values integrity so much but what is
disquieting is that he has been a respondent of two cases due to the violation of RA 3019 as
shown by the certificate from the Office of the Ombudsman.
b. Survey
The over-all perception of the subordinates and superior on PENRO’s integrity is 3.33 out of
4.
On the subordinate survey, majority of the respondents agreed (average score of 3.09) that
PENRO observes the core principles and values enshrined in the DENR Code of Conduct. Of
the 10 integrity questions asked, the second statement on living a pro-environment lifestyle
got the highest average score of 3.41 while question on compliance to DENR gift’s policy
received the lowest (2.55), or the respondents almost agreeing that he does receive gifts more
than PhP5000.00. What’s interesting to note is that this score is almost consistent with the
score subordinates gave on related question, that is, ensuring that the transacting public and
suppliers are made aware of the gifts policy of the organization. For this, PENRO Dela Cruz
got an average score of 2.86.
The superior survey yielded mixed results. The superior, apart from concurring with the
subordinate’s perception on gifts policy (she gave a score of 1 or strongly disagree), rated all
other questions in favor of PENRO Dela Cruz. This implies that in general, PENRO adheres
to and promotes the core principles and values stipulated in the DENR Code and other
relevant issuances such as nepotism, conflict of interest, leading a simple and modest life and
living a pro-environment lifestyle.

*** WHY the SCORE? What could possibly explain the overall criteria score? What factors
affected the performance? Not the tool but the findings.
Taking into account the results of the document review and the survey (i.e. subordinate and
superior), the over-all integrity score of PENRO Dela Cruz is 58.67%.
The total score is quite low mainly because of the lack of evidences that would prove the
existence of purported innovations he has introduced in the office as well as the presence of
cases filed against him to the Ombudsman in relation to the violation of section 3(e) of RA
3019 and paragraph 2 of the revised Penal Code and which was partially corroborated by the
survey result regarding acceptance of gifts. This inconsistency in the DR and the survey
results is clearly illustrated in Table 2, with the former (4.25) weighted average score more
than 100% lower than the latter (10.42).

a. Document Review
In the document and key informant interview (KII), PENRO Dela Cruz got a score of 12 out
of the maximum possible score of 25.
The documents gathered and the responses of key informants strongly suggest that PENRO
Dela Cruz ensures that his office would produce and deliver the services the public expects of
them. He also makes certain that all programs, projects and activities will have corresponding
IEC materials so their clients could be properly informed of what they could offer. He also
does not settle on the conventional modes of service provision. As shared during the KII and
as supported by the documents collected, he once created a community intelligence group to
help in the prevention or interception of illegal loggers and likewise deputized people as
bantay-gubat volunteers. Similarly, he instituted a mechanism to easily track documents
coupled with the proviso that the same should be acted upon not later than 5 working days.

PENRO – Province Z, Region N
Well aware of the power of radio to effectively reach the public, PENRO likewise pooled
office savings to secure twice a week radio airtime at the local stations (i.e. Takna sa DXWB
and DXEB).
What is lacking though is the full compliance to Anti-Red Tape Act (ARTA) particularly
implementing the Citizen’s Charter (CC). It is surprising that in the KII, a number of people
seem not aware of what CC is. Some would refer to few posted flowcharts (mostly internal
processes) as the CC while others claim that they completely do not know the existence of
such. When asked if they could show a copy of the CC, a few who know it, claimed that the
CC had been relocated and stored somewhere due to the ongoing renovation of Records
Office and/or point to the generic DENR CC. Expectedly, no review and enhancements of
CC had been made two years after it was allegedly implemented in 2009.
a. Survey
PENRO Dela Cruz almost got a perfect survey rating in the service orientation with an over-
all score of 3.51 out of 4.
His subordinates and superior are in agreement that PENRO ensures that the office Citizen’s
Charter is followed in the delivery of frontline services (3.42) and this includes responding to
client’s feedback and complaints promptly (3.63). He is also viewed as hands-on with regard
to the dissemination of IEC materials to the public (3.56) as well as in making certain that
regulatory functions are performed (3.61). Similarly, he is perceived to be innovative in
effectively performing service delivery (3.49) and regulatory (3.44) functions.

PENRO – Province Z, Region N
As can be gleaned on the table below, the weighted scores of the DR (6) and Survey (8.77)
are almost consistent. This means that the systems employed by PENRO Dela Cruz in
making certain that his office will produce and provide quality outputs and services for the
satisfaction of its customers are established. This is supported by the documents gathered and
validated by the perceptions of his subordinates and superior in the survey and responses
given by key process owners during the interview.
The slight deviation in the score is perhaps attributable to question about CC. The survey
results overwhelmingly affirm the existence of the document as well as efforts of PENRO to
ensure compliance to it, but no documents can be given to back up the assertions. This
inconsistency is also validated by the KII responses.

a. Document Review
The total Network Building score of PENRO Dela Cruz in the document review is 10 out of
20.
As shown in the table above, he satisfactorily observed the indicators set forth in levels 1 and
2 of the scorecard; suggesting that PENRO Dela Cruz sees the value of building and
strengthening partnerships/networks to help in the implementation of programs, projects and
activities (PPAs).
This partnership does not start and end with what has been mandated to them by the Central
or Regional Offices (e.g. National Greening Program, Community Resource Management
Framework, etc.) but PENRO takes the extra mile to actively seek and form new and strategic
alliances which he deems would be instrumental in the realization of agency outcomes. This
collaboration would range from media, local government units, private companies to schools
and other non-government organizations. But more than signing the MOA which formalizes
the engagement of partners, PENRO would also make it a point to clearly explain the

Leadership Evaluation Report: Juan N. Dela Cruz
PENRO – Province Z, Region N
partner’s responsibilities and the project where they will be involved, as well as, capacitate
them if needed or requested (e.g. cleaning the estero, planting seedling, etc.)
However, while his network building efforts are highly commendable, these by far have been
project-driven or one-time initiative and have limit the partner’s involvement to PPA
implementation. As disclosed in KII, the Land Management Sector once involved LGUs for
the monitoring and evaluation of the LAMP but only because this is the design of the project.
Mechanisms or systems to establish and institutionalize their meaningful engagement in the
whole PPA phases have not really been made. This is similarly true in involving important
stakeholders in target setting and generating feedback on organizational outcomes.
b. Survey
The over-all survey score of PENRO Dela Cruz in Network Building is 3.56.
All questions relating to his efforts to forge new alliances to assist the office in the
implementation of PAPs have been rated strongly positive both by his subordinates and
superior. The same can be said to PENRO’s initiatives in providing technical support to
partners as well as engaging them in other stages of the programs/projects/activities such as
development, monitoring and giving feedback and recommendations on the implemented
PPAs.
Taking into account the DR and survey ratings, the over-all network building score of
PENRO Dela Cruz is 69.49%.

Survey and DR scores are consistent in affirming PENRO Dela Cruz’s ability in establishing
partnerships and strengthening them. As disclosed in the survey (i.e. questions 8 and 9) and
the KII responses, efforts to give partners more meaningful role in PPAs as well as target
setting and giving feedback on organizational outcomes are sparse and being done based on
the design, but to establish and institutionalize these into a formal system/mechanism in the
organization still fall short.

accomplishment report, etc.) that PENRO Dela Cruz is very hands-on and particular in

setting targets of the office as well as monitoring if these targets are met. In preparation for
the regional planning, he will conduct provincial Management Conference (PMC) to equally
farm out the undistributed targets from central office to the sectors and CENROs. Once this is
settled they will start the crafting of Work and Financial Plan (WFP) for the year. Apart from
this, PENRO will likewise hold staff meetings especially with sector heads to further firm-up
the WFP.
When it comes to monitoring, PENRO conducts another PMC and requires his staff to submit
monthly accomplishment. Per KII, he reviews targets versus actual accomplishments and gets
updates on the status of the projects. There was no evidence provided though to support this
assertion. What has been given during the interview is a communication to CENRO to attend
the Mid-year Assessment of the Region as well as sample monthly accomplishment reports of
a CENRO and sector.
b. Survey
For the survey result on Strategic Focus, the over-all score of PENRO Dela Cruz is 3.56 out
of 4.
With an average score of 3.66, his superior and majority of his subordinates both agree that
PENRO ensures that office operations plan (i.e. WFP) is aligned to the DENR mandates and
requirement of PPAs. Similarly, they affirm that PENRO establishes a monitoring system to
track and review targets versus actual accomplishments (3.58). He is also perceived to not
only conduct assessment of accomplishments but likewise take action in resolving PPA
problems (3.59).
Notably, PENRO Dela Cruz is viewed by his superior and a great number of his subordinates
to not only lead the target setting of the office, but also in ensuring that individual targets of
staff is aligned to the over-all strategic/operational directions of the organization (3.62).
Based on the results of the DR and the survey, the Strategic Focus score of PENRO Dela
Cruz is 74.48%.

place and likewise translated into practice and being felt or observed by his subordinates
and/or superior.

a. Document Review
The total Management Acumen score of PENRO Dela Cruz in the Document Review is 11
out of the maximum possible score of 20.
As can be gleaned on the DR results above regarding WFP and as mentioned in the previous
section, PENRO Dela Cruz leads the crafting of the plan by gathering his CENROs, sector
and concerned division heads in a Provincial Management Conference. Monitoring and
controlling of such, in particular financial transactions, disbursement and expenditures are
being done through regular submission of monthly financial reports. PENRO likewise
spearheads efforts to further strengthen internal control and monitoring system by sending
concerned individuals to seminars and workshops (e.g. Procurement Service, e-PhilGEPS,
etc.) and appointing an internal auditor (no document to support this claim).

Leadership Evaluation Report: Juan N. Dela Cruz
PENRO – Province Z, Region N
What is unsettling though is while this system of monitoring and controlling works, there are
really no concrete guidelines and/or document that formalize its adoption and recognize it as
the known mechanism to track and manage cash flows.
For the management of personnel and monitoring of their performance, PENRO follows the
CSC-mandated Performance Appraisal Report (PAR) every semester. He also required his
staff to submit weekly monitoring report to account for what they have accomplished. This
will be consequently reported by the division or sector head during the Monday Convocation
Program. But as shown in level 3 of the scorecard, the assessment ends with rating personnel
or accepting their reports. The results are not substantially processed to serve as inputs in
identifying the training or capacity-building requirements of the staff.
b. Survey
PENRO Dela Cruz’s total Management Acumen score in the survey is 3.50.
There is consistency of responses between the subordinate and the superior. Majority of his
subordinates overwhelmingly agreed that PENRO Dela Cruz indeed leads the formulation of
WFP (3.53) and ensures that system to monitor and control how funds are disbursed is
observed (3.45). Both also believe that PENRO has spearheaded efforts to improve (3.48) and
strengthen (3.56) the management of financial resources. They are also in agreement that he
has led or conducted assessment of planned and actual fund disbursements and utilizes the
results of it to improve the crafting of WFP (3.58).
The same can be said on how he manages his subordinates. Based on the results, PENRO is
strongly believed to set performance standards (3.45) for his staff. He likewise installs
mechanism to measure and evaluate their performance (3.42) and even introduces
improvements in the system (3.42). PENRO similarly uses the results of the assessment in
identifying the needed capacity development intervention of his subordinates (3.42).

Leadership Evaluation Report: Juan N. Dela Cruz
PENRO – Province Z, Region N
Considering the scores of PENRO Dela Cruz in the DR and survey, his over-all Management
Acumen rating is 71.29.
The weighted scores in the table below suggest slight disconnect between the perceptions of
the subordinates and the superior and the established systems/mechanisms on how PENRO
manage financial and human resources of the organization. In some aspects, particularly on
PENRO leading the crafting and monitoring of WFP and measuring the performance of
subordinates, views and KII responses are consistent with the documents collected. But that
is not the case when it comes to improvements PENRO has proposed in the monitoring and
controlling of financial transactions as well as evaluating staff’s performance. Documentary
evidence is absent to back up favorable subordinates and superior’s perceptions of PENRO
on this matter.

VI. Conclusions
The results of the assessment disclose that the leadership strengths of PENRO Dela Cruz are
strategic focus, service orientation and management acumen. While areas that need
improvement are integrity and network building.
More than the aforementioned though, the biggest challenge for PENRO’s leadership would
be to arrest the problem of poor records management and the lack of documentation on
systems/mechanisms and his purported innovations/improvements. While at present, systems
seem to function even in the absence or lack of proper documentation and records handling,
this might not be a sustainable set-up in the long-run.
Answer the question: which among the 5 criteria did the official get the highest rating?
Mention substantive differences in the findings of the document review/ KII and the survey
