January 9, 2023 is the 2nd Monday of CY 2023, yet it is the 1st working Monday for the National Irrigation Administration!
To kickstart the new year, the Agency conducts its Ushering Activity, participated by all its Regional and Project Offices, including its Irrigation Management Offices and Field Division Offices.
For this yearβs theme of βNIA Para sa Progresibong Pilipinasβ, the Agency adopts the creation of a Gratitude Wall to show how the Agency has changed lives of each NIAn, while the Agency is also promoting its relevance in nation-building.
As the Ushering Activity is simultaneously conducted by NIA nationwide, the Management and Staff of NIA-MARIIS, headed by its Department Manager Engr. Gileu Michael O. Dimoloy and various Division Managers with the latterβs respective staff gladly participated in this Activity.
At MARIIS Head Office, donned with the yearβs color of Viva Magenta, MARIIS Top Management and employees gamely cat-walked their semi-formal and casual wear as a start. Choosing between the colors of blue, red, yellow green and orange, each employee sticked to the gratitude wall what are they personally thankful for. At the end of the activity, color blue is the prominent color. Color blue represents salary and benefits!
In the message of Department Manager Dimoloy, he stated that the choices of salary and benefits (blue), love and romance (red), friendship and connections (yellow), opportunities and experiences (green), honor and recognition (orange) are all attainable in the Agency, for which everybody is grateful for, hence, in return, MARIIS employees should also perform their functions to contribute to the attainment of Agencyβs objectives, especially in uplifting the live of Filipino farmers.
For positivity and unity for 2023, Engineering and Operations Division Manager Jaime M. Lara and NIAEASP Chapter President Milo C. Villanueva gave the customary toast.
