GENERAL SANTOS CITY, Dec. 2 (PIA) - - “Communication for development begins with you.” | |||
This was the challenge posed by Secretary Sonny B. Coloma Jr. of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) to the information officers participating in the 9th Mindanao Communicators Network (MINDACOMNET) congress held here last Nov. 28-30. | |||
Around 135 information officers from the different national government agencies (NGAS), local government units (LGUs), academe and non-government organizations (NGOs) from all over Mindanao have converged here for the said congress with the theme: “Strengthening Governance Communication through the New Media. | |||
Coloma said communication for development “is our mission,” adding that “it’s what we do and the why of our reason for being.” | |||
He also urged the information officers to be good at what they are doing and this can only happen if they believe in themselves. | |||
“Who we are and why we are here determine what we do and how we will do it,” he stressed. | |||
Secretary Coloma also appealed to the participants to help promote the programs pursued by the present leadership which center on sustained economic growth, poverty reduction and people empowerment, climate change adaptation and mitigation, security/peace and order and good governance. | |||
On the opening day, Philippine Information Agency (PIA)-XII Regional Director and MINDACOMNET President Olivia T. Sudaria welcomed the participants who came all the way from regions 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 and the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM). | |||
Sudaria said that the MINDACOMNET has contributed to governance communication by enhancing the knowledge and skills of communication officers. She also emphasized that this organization would always be supportive of the peace education among the inhabitants and the quest for lasting peace in the island. | |||
MINDACOMNET was founded in 2000 through the initiative of its founding leaders, namely, former PIA-IX regional director and assistant secretary Leon. J. Omoso, PIA-XI regional director Efren Elbanbuena and PIA-XII regional director Olivia T. Sudaria. (FPG/PIA-Zambo. Norte) | |||
