The blog site and a Facebook account of the association are set to be presented before CAGPIO members during a regular meeting this week for comments and eventual webcasting.
CAGPIO president Carlette Pretta said the use of online media to inform Capiceños on the various programs and projects of the government and solicit feedback is one of the priority thrusts of the association for this year.
The use of social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and Myspace is in response to Philippine Information Agency 6 Director Atty. Ma. Janet Mesa to explore new and exciting outlets for government information.
Mesa, along with Capiz Legal Officer and Administrator Jose Villanueva and 3rd Infantry Division (3ID) Inspector General Col. Alex Capiña, graced the recent induction of CAGPIO officers and board of directors at the Villareal Stadium's poolside here.
Social networking sites help government agencies and local government units as they expand public offices outreach capabilities and improve civil servants’ interaction and service to the public.
However, existing information dissemination practices already established will still be followed, Pretta said. (Alex Lumaque/PN)
