Ormoc hosts seminar on transparent governance

THE Region Eight Administrators League (Real) conducted its 2nd quarter general assembly and continuing leadership seminar last June 15 in Ormoc. A total of 123 government executives came to hear the seminar on priority key result areas (KRA) of anti-corruption and transparent, accountable and participatory governance attended the activity.

Department of Budget and Management Regional Director and Real President Imelda Laceras said the seminar was conducted to enable executives to become knowledgeable on the KRA so they will be able to align their programs with that of the central government.
 
Keynote speaker Deputy Ombudsman for the Visayas Pelagio S. Apostol clarified that her office doesn’t exist to persecute government executives and emloyees but to protect them from harassment. For his part, Ateneo de Davao University professor Fr. Albert E. Alejo, SJ, discussed the topic “Beyond Honesty: Integrity Reflections for Public Officials.”
 
A dialogue with Pelagio was held to enable participants to voice out their queries and concerns. The activity was concluded by the oath-taking of 20 new members to Real led by City Police Director SSupt. Elizar Egloso.
