TaPaTaN sa ARMM ExPeRiEnCe

Tapatan sa Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM), a press conference where the media and the officials as well as  concerned agencies of the region address the issues of the local members of the media.  This week I was privileged to attend the press con where several issues and concerns were raised by the media.

The program aims to provide information and updates direct from the agencies concerned which will be informed  to the public through the media partners of the locality.  Aside from establishing partnership with the media, it is also an avenue of the regional government to clear issues thrown to the different agencies. It is regularly held every wednesday but is set to other days in case there are conflicts in the schedule.

Some of the items tackled during the press conference are:
  • The State of the Regional Address (SORA) preparations
  • The conditional cash  transfer of DSWD
  • Updates on the investigation on the death of Vice Mayor Alexander Tomawis of Barira Maguindanao
Present during the presscon were the Executive Secretary Atty. Naguib G. Sinarimbo; Abdullah M. Cusain - Deputy Executive Secretary; Hadja Pombaen Karun-Kader - Acting Secretary DSWD ARMM; Col. Rudy Asto - G7, 6 ID; Col. Alfredo Modestanio - R5, PRO ARMM; 1Lt. Greg Jose - CMO Officer, 603rd Brigade and Lt. Col. Joven F. Gonzales - Executive Officers of 603rd Bridage. 

As a blogger it's good to know that information dissemination is done in a proper forum and program like this.  I recognize the effort of ARMM in holding such, for sure it much in the local governance.
