The Bureau of Agricultural Statistics in Oriental Negros was named the third top performing office of the BAS in the country.

Officer-in-charge and Provincial Agricultural Statistics Officer of BAS Ricarda Diamano, said the local office was recognized nationally for its excellent performance from July to September 2006. It also has won top spots in the rankings in the past few years, in Central Visayas.

In the regional standing, it ranked no. 2 in 2002 and no. 3 in 2003. It was the no. 1 office in the region from 2004 to 2005, besting the other three other provinces in the region.

Diamano said they are now keeping their fingers crossed on whether they will be ranked no. 1 again in Region 7 for 2006, completing a three-year streak as the top performing BAS office in the region.

Diamano said the ranking is based on the performance of a division in technical and administrative operations.*RG
