Mga Information Officers sa Sugbo musunod sa FOI

Gipasalig sa mga Information Officers sa Sugbo ang pagtamod sa Freedom of Information (FOI) nga direktiba ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte.

Ang Cebu Association of City and Municipal Public Information Officers (CAOCAMPIO) mipasar og isa ka resolusyon sa pormal nga pag-adopt sa FOI.

Kini human si Gobernador Hilario Davide III, mipakanaog og isa ka direktiba nga nagmando sa tanang mga opisina ubos sa Executive sa pag sunod sa FOI ug mga mekanismo niini.

Nakita sa mga miembro sa CAOCAMPIO nga gikinahanglan nila ang pag tamod sa maong direktiba tungod kay sila mismo ang labing unang nahingtungdan isip information officers.

Ang maong mosyon giduso ni PIO Oscar Canino sa lungsod sa Aloguinsan ug gisigundahan kini PIO Roger Almonicar sa lungsod sa Daanbantayan.




 Gikasabutan sa mga information officers nga sila na ang maga awhag sa ilang tagsa tagsa ka mga lungsood sa pagadopt usab sa maong direktiba.

Ang FOI nagamando sa tanang mga opisina nga anaa ubos sa Executive sa pagpatuman og mga lakang nga maka pakita nga transparent og walay gitaguan ang gobyerno.

Gimandoan nga ang tanang mga pakisayod o request of official records gikinahanglan nga adunay aksyon sud sa lima ka adlaw. 

Gikinahanglan usab nga ang mga  online government portals o websites gikinahanglan nga accessible na sa Nobyembre 24 ning tuiga.
 
 Sa susamang kalamboan, mipasar usab og resolusyon ang League of Municipalities Cebu Chapter human kini gibisita sa mga opisyales sa CAOCAMPIO og gitunolan og kopya sa FOI Executive Order.

Si Tuburan Mayor Democrito "Aljun" Diamante nagkanayon nga na approbar ang Mosyon nga gipasaka ni Sanat Fe Mayor Jose Esgana alang sa pag adopt sa FOI.

The future is bright for Information Officers - Candice Acuna, Carcar City IO #partnerforchange

What is my take away from the 3 day Communications Enhancement Workshop of CAOCAMPIO.

Carcar City Information Officer Candice Acuna 

Well, first, I learned from National Grid Corporation of the Philippines (NGCP)that brownout actually means low voltage.

I learned that they are like a third party from the source to the consumers.

Atty. Cynthia Alabanza, NGCP Corporate Communications Officer 

I think my most important realization is what the speaker(Atty. Cynthia Alabanza, NGCP Corporate Communications Officer) pointed out between the difference of information (which is giving out) and communication (which is getting through).

On the second day, we had a speaker from Bangko Sentral ngPilipinas (BSP)Hazel Arante, who explained to us the Clean Note policy, how to differentiate the good note from the mutilated ones.

And how to gauge if a mutilated note can still be exchanged at the BSP.

Our speaker from the PNP PSupt Brandi Nacario  who gave us data on drug users and pushers that are beneficial to our own CADAC (Carcar City Anti Drug Abuse Council) plans.

Then, we also enhanced our press release writing skills by PIA Cebu Manager Rachelle Nessia. 

But the speaker in the afternoon session really opened my mind about social media, Kevin Maglinte from Mugstoria showed us a lot of ideas which we could use to tap the youth or audience in general through social media. After all, in this day and age, almost everyone has a cellphone.

The third day was very productive. 

We gained a lot of knowledge and insights from the presentation of Cecil Quibod-Castro of GMA 7 and Mam Minerva Newman, PIA RD-7.

PIA7 Rd Minerva Newman on Communications Planning and Role of Government Information Officers 

I thank CAOCAMPIO and PIA for all the knowledge I gained.

But what makes me more happy and excited is the possibility that maybe this year or in the next few years, the dream of every Information Officer of having a permanent and not co-terminus position be realized. 

We are after all, Information officers of our respective cities or municipalities.

Let us put in all our minds and resources on this, tap who needs to be tapped and lobby as one strong, united front.

*CAOCAMPIO stands for Cebu Association of City and Municipal Public Information Officers. 

CAOCAMPIO sets General Assembly July 22, 2016

APPOINTING an INFORMATION OFFICER is an investment for the LGU.

 

Local INFORMATION OFFICERS do not speak for one man alone, but carry within themselves, the responsibility of creating a free flowing, harmonious exchange between different natures of LGU, Citizenry, Media, World..all the rest follows.

 

Its not glamour, its not power, its lubricating the wheels of governance to turn.

ATTEND this year's first General Assembly of Cao Campio July 22, 2016 at DENR Sudlon.

Election of new set of officers is the highlight and the two day Strategic Planning in
