LINGAYEN, Pangaainan, July 28 (PNA) -- The Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas conferred two "eagle" awards to the Pangasinan provincial government in recognition of its valuable contribution to the agency’s currency demonetization program and implementation of BSP advocacy public information campaigns.
The awards as Outstanding Regional Partner of BSP Dagupan branch for the demonetization of new design currency series and as Outstanding Regional Partner in the conduct of Public Information Campaigns were received by Ramon Morden, Executive Assistant IV, in behalf of Governor Amado Espino, III.
These were conferred during the 2016 Awards Ceremony and Appreciation Lunch for BSP Stakeholders in Region I and the Cordillera Administrative Region held on July 26 at BSP La Union regional office.
The BSP public information campaign among barangay leaders, which formed part of the National Statistics Month celebration of the provincial government, focused on lectures on New Design Series demonetization, New Generation Currency familiarization, clean note policy, and discussion on the different kinds of fraud and scams.
During the awarding ceremony, Diwa Guinigundo, BSP Deputy Governor on Monetary Stability Sector, expressed elation over the contributions of various stakeholders in conducting information drives needed by the BSP in monetary and financial policy formulation.
“The stakeholders are being recognized and awarded with the eagle because they have been providing us with the very critical information that gives us the idea of what is happening on the ground,” said Guinigundo.
Meanwhile, Ms. Ma. Lourdes Manaois, BSP Dagupan branch head of Economic and Financial Learning Center, noted that the support extended by the Liga ng mga Barangay Provincial Federation to the BSP has strategically processed the information they needed to cascade their programs down to barangays.
“They were very participative and supportive of our lectures,” Manaois said, adding that some village chiefs have asked that public information campaign be brought to their barangays.
The BSP completed its public information campaigns in city and municipal LGUs in the province from 2014 to 2015.
Other awardees from Pangasinan were the Era Gas Corporation (Business Expectation Survey – Outstanding Respondent among small firms) and Metro Dagupan Cycling Club, Inc. (Advocacy Support on Coin Recirculation).
