PANABO CITY, Davao del Norte, January 14, 2014 (PIA) - “Aside from bringing the attention of the people to the programs of the LGU, it is also within the coverage of the function of this group (Barangay Information Dissemination Team or BIDT) to inform Panaboans of their rights and obligations” said City Mayor Hon. Jose L. Silvosa, Sr. during the first BIDT new year meeting last January 9, 2014 at the New City Hall Conference Room.
Silvosa also detailed the main functions of the BIDT in the city for people who are not properly informed about their duties to the government and in the city. One of these duties is their obligation to pay tax, “If you have land, what are your obligations? You have to pay your tax which it is also the lifeblood of the LGU and the nation,” he added.
Furthermore, Silvosa talked about the City’s economic improvement through teaching Panaboans how to plan a business or create their own livelihood plans.
In July 2013, the BIDT released a Social Preparedness Module which is written in vernacular to be understood by the majority. It is divided in to certain topics: Espirituhanong Katikaran, Ekonomikanhong Kalambuan, Active Citizenship, and Politikanhong Reyalidad.
The team, through the chairmanship of the City Mayor, has 14 members led by the City Information Officer, Narciso Jadraque. The team is comprised of different representatives from different offices such as the City Social Welfare Development Office, City Environment and Natural Resources Office, City Agriculturist Office, City Health Office and City Mayor's Office , including spiritual leaders from different denominations in the City.
The BIDT who has been working for social preparedness in 2013 is chaired by Mayor Silvosa. It refocuses its activities to information dissemination leaving spiritual, economic, social, and political developments to concerned departments. (Michael Angelo A. Resueño, CIO Panabo)
