GEN. SANTOS CITY, Nov. 30 (PIA) – Presidential Communication Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Herminio Coloma, Jr. urged the public information officers in Mindanao to take and believe in government programs to be effective in communicating for development. | |||
“Kailangan gustuhin natin, paniwalaan natin ( We must like it, we must believe),” Coloma said as he pushed for communication for development (C4D) as the mission for government communicators to carry out in informing and promoting the administration’s endeavors and programs. | |||
Coloma discussed the importance of the concept on C4D to more than 150 information officers during the 9th Mindanao Communicators Network (MindaComNet) Congress yesterday in General Santos City. | |||
Coloma underscored C4D in the public dissemination and promotion of President Benigno Aquino III’s Philippine Development Plan (PDP) for 2011-2016 as basis of programs for national government agencies and local government units. | |||
From the concept of C4D , Coloma raised the need of citizen engagement as part of the tasks that communicators should undertake such as conducting dialogues in the communities. | |||
“Our presence is very important in the grassroots in different parts of the country,” he stated. | |||
He also emphasized another task of providing enabling environment for the stakeholders citing the mass media, saying that “We want to create high quality public discourse through the mass media.” | |||
He further brought up the significance of gaining the support of the media to the development programs of the government. | |||
Coloma took in the United Nations’ definition of C4D that states, “C4D stresses the need to support two-way communication systems that enable dialogue and that allow communities to speak out, express their aspirations and concerns and participate in the decisions that relate to their development”. | |||
The PCOO Secretary was the keynote speaker during the Mindacomnet Congress that gathered government information officers from various national government agencies, local government units, and the academe from Regions 9, 10, 11, 12, Caraga and Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao. | |||
The Congress started November 28 and will culminate today with an election of new set of officers to serve for the next two years. | |||
Spearheaded by the Philippine Information Agency (PIA), Mindacomnet is a network of communication officers from the government, non-government organizations, private sectors and the academe in Mindanao regions. (PIA-11/Carina L. Cayon) | |||
