CITY OF MATI, Davao Oriental, May 22 (PIA) --- Philippine Information Agency XI Regional Director Efren F. Elbanbuena yesterday inducted into office the newly elected officers of the Davao Oriental Information Officers Organization (DavOrg).
Elbanbuena raised expectation for DavOrg to pave way towards strengthening the ranks of information officers of local government units (LGUs) and national government based in Davao Oriental.
The induction of officers of DavOrg followed right after the election of officers facilitated by PIA DavComval Information Center in a meeting of Davao Oriental Information Officers held at Lane’s Kan-anan in the City of Mati.
City of Mati Information Officer Yon Maybuena was elected as DavOrg president; Davao Oriental Provincial Information Officer Karen Lou Deloso as vice president; San Isidro Municipal Information Officer (MIO) Gladys Capalit, secretary; Manay MIO Alonso Ong, treasurer; Lupon MIO Roy Z. Paran, Auditor.
Elected as chairperson of the Committee on Membership was Zaida Fe I. Ramiro of the Department of Trade and Industry Davao Oriental Field Office; Committee on IEC/Advocacy chairperson, Momy A. Repe of the Technical Skills Education and Development Authority (TESDA); Ways and Means Committee chairperson, Police Senior Insp. Carmelo M. Peteros of Davao Oriental Provincial Police Office; and Special Project Committee Chairperson, Ropel O. Marteje of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR).
The officers form part of the DavOrg Board of Directors (BOD) which includes all LGU information officers of Davao Oriental.
The organization of DavOrg completes the grouping of LGU and NGA information officers in the provinces of Davao del Norte, Compostela Valley Province and Davao Oriental—which are the coverage areas of PIA 11 DavComval Information Center.
In Davao del Norte, the organization of Information Officers carries the name Association of Information Officers of Davao del Norte (A-ION) while in Compostela Valley, the group is known as the Association of Community Development Information Officers of Compostela Valley (ACDIOCOM).
On the other hand, Elbanbuena was glad that DavOrg officers and members immediately tuned in to the advocacy on climate change adaptation which he cited as imperative for all LGUs to give attention to.
DavOrg officers and members then laid out an action plan which put on the top list the need to benchmark with established information offices in the provinces of Compostela Valley and Davao del Norte and in the city of Tagum.
Set on June 26, the visit is aimed at learning how Compostela Valley, Davao del Norte and Tagum City run their information offices, the structure of such office, the role that the information office plays during the activation of Incident Command System (ICS). (PIA 11/ Jeanevive Duron-Abangan)
