TAGBILARAN CITY, March 8 (PIA) -- The
Department of Agrarian Refore (DAR)-Bohol hosted this month's assembly meeting
of the Association of United Development Information Officers (AUDIO) to
show its appreciation and gratitude to its partners in information in support
to its various programs on agrarian land reforms.
During the recent meeting of the
in Bohol, DAR showed its agency's accomplishments as
it continues to seek partnerships with AUDIO in getting to the last few
acres of farmlands for land reform.
AUDIO is a gathering of municipal
information officers as well as information officers from national and
government owned or controlled corporations in a network to advance information
dissemination more proactively in Bohol.
AUDIO has used a system of 'office
visits' to campaign as well as to familiarize local information officers of the
office’s mandates and see how their local governments can tap their support and
help.
DAR-Bohol Atty. Grace Fua
tackled questions from information officers who would re-echo DAR’s
responses to the farmers in their respective towns.
Both Fua and assistant CARP officer Dr.
Ronald Pumatong took turns in responding to queries and clarifications from
Bohol’s information officers.
The AUDIO and DAR had a long running
partnership, beginning with its information officers then Dr. Pumatong and
Ma. Lydia Bantugan, who provided AUDIO with their presence.
This next week, AUDIO moves again to another activity-- Bohol’s
disaster response and adopting a unified statement on government and
international humanitarian organization’s response to earthquake issues
in the province. (mbcn/rahc/PIA7-Bohol)
