ILOILO CITY, Jan. 26 (PIA6) — The Regional Development
Council (RDC) chaired by Capiz Gov. Victor Tanco has given the green-light to
government agencies and other public institutions in Western Visayas who intend
to join the 4th Best Public Sector Projects Awards.
Tanco said the search for the best public sector projects
aims to determine and recognize good practices among government institutions in
the region that can be replicated by similar institutions in the region and in
other parts of the country.
The focus of the awards this year will be on projects
that effectively contributed to the realization of the goals of the Regional
Development Plan for 2011-2016 and to President Aquino’s “Social Contract with
the Filipino People”, said the RDC chair.
The awards will cover development programs and projects
of the following institutional categories: National Government Agencies – all
regional offices or affiliate offices of national agencies, government
corporations and financial institutions operating in Region VI; State
Universities and Colleges – all 12 SUCs in the region; and Local Government
Units – all 6 provinces, 2 highly urbanized cities (Iloilo and Bacolod), all
component cities and provincial capitals.
Participants have until March 15, 2012 to prepare and
submit their entries to the National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA)
Regional Office in Iloilo City. (pia 6/Jaime S. Cabag, Jr.)
