representative when voting.
According to PIA-Caraga Regional Director Abner
Caga, as developmental information arm of the government and deputized agency
by the COMELEC to ensure the conduct of a Secure and Fair elections, PIA’s role
in disseminating relevant information especially during election day is very
vital.
“Thus, we should all take advantage of the early
voting so as not to hinder our operations, reporting during election day,” Caga
said.
Caga added that all personnel should be ready,
vigilant and seriously monitor the actual voting of the citizenry on the
different precincts on May 13, 2013. “Despite our limited manpower, we should
maximize our efforts and see to it that significant and factual information
must be disseminated on real time,” he said.
It was also learned that April 28 started the
Local Absentee Voting (LAV) for members of the Army, police, some government
employees and media.
Those who will fail to vote on April 28, 29, and
30 LAV can still vote in their precincts on election day, which is an added
advantage.
For the midterm election, that only covers 12
senators and one party-list group.

voting on a day earlier than the actual election day, to which this year the
national and local elections is on May 13. The Local Absentee Voting (LAV) is
on manual mode, which means voters have to write by hand their votes on their

PIA-13 organizes rapid media reaction team
By Robert E. Roperos
BUTUAN CITY, April 29 (PIA) – The regional
office of the Philippine Information Agency (PIA) here has organized a rapid
media reaction team in an effort to provide uniform information to the public
during the conduct of the 2013 national and local elections on May 13, 2013.
In a roundtable discussion during the regular
meeting with the personnel of PIA-Caraga, Northern and Northeastern Mindanao
Information Cluster Head and concurrent Regional Director Abner M. Caga pointed
out that the organization of the team follows the concept of conducting rapid
response during disasters where convergence of national and local media is
highlighted.
“Whenever there is a need for the team to
immediately disseminate the necessary information to the public, the PIA will
lead the media team members from gathering the facts, writing the news, and air
it,” Caga said.
He said each media outfit in the city are
invited to join the team and will send one representative to have equal access
to information. The media representative must be a permanent employee of the
outfit or station, and are not supporting any candidate. “They must be
non-partisan to avoid biases,” Caga said.
Caga also said that this effort of PIA-Caraga is
the first of its kind, having gathered all the media outfits in the city which
promotes unity among the local tri-media here, aside from instilling into the
minds of the media practitioners the value of disseminating relevant
information.
“This initiative of PIA-Caraga is the first in
the entire PIA organization, where local tri-media are converged to act as one
with the ultimate end of making a significant impact in the community,” Caga
said.
As the lead agency of this convergence, it
promotes unity, camaraderie, vibrant healthy relationship among the media
outfits, thus, setting aside network rivalries in pursuit of common interest to
serve the public.
The official is also optimistic that this effort
will serve well for the benefit of the community considering that in the
process, access and utilization of information are equally shared to all
networks.
Caga added this is also part of PIA’s effort in
connection with the conduct of “Hatol ng Bayan 2013”, the election coverage of
the Media ng Bayan, through the convergence of PIA, Philippine News Agency
(PNA), Radio ng Bayan, and the People's Television Network.
This development came after the Commission on
Elections (Comelec) has deputized PIA and other media and communication
organizations to conduct regular information campaign on the proper use of any
medium of communication.
“We are making one step forward in achieving the
conduct of an honest, orderly, and peaceful election… A collective contribution
of the government’s information arm and the media sector is made possible
through PIA-Caraga,” Caga added.
Section 33 of Comelec Resolution No. 9615
deputizes the Philippine Information Agency, Kapisanan ng mga Brodkaster ng
Pilipinas, Philippine Association of Private Telephone Companies, and the
Telecommunication Operators of the Philippine to conduct, in coordination with

RDC and GIZ collaborate to further develop
Caraga’s Geographic Info System Network
By Loyd C. Composo
BUTUAN CITY, April 29 (PIA) -- The Regional
Development Council (RDC) and the Deutsche Gessellschaft fΓΌr Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) joined forces to enhance the Caraga Regional Geographic
Information System Network (RGISN).
Earlier, stakeholders in the region have participated
in the RGISN Technical Working Group (TWG) Orientation-Workshop at Balanghai
Hotel and Convention Center, this City.
In her message, Mylah Faye Aurora B. CariΓ±o,
NEDA’s Assistant Regional Director and RDC’s Secretary said the activity was
conducted to enhance the network and to further strengthen the partnership of
the different stakeholders in data sharing. She also shared that the activity
is just one of the series of events to be conducted by the RDC and GIZ to
further enhance the region’s hub of GIS-based data.
CariΓ±o added that the RDC as the administrator
of the RGISN will provide overall policy directions to the network, act on
issues or problems that may arise from the conduct of activities of the
network, provide logistical support, establish and update regional database,
manage facilities, and facilitate the data sharing.
She also said anyone can be a member of the
RGISN by opening an account through http://rgisn-caraga.neda.gov.ph.
During the workshop, members participated in a
pre-test that evaluated the usability of the website and the functionality of
its user manual. They also went through the processes and procedures to
determine its applicability.
History of Caraga’s RGISN
The efforts on institutionalizing the Geographic
Information System (GIS) in the region started way back in 1998. The RDC
acknowledged the role of information technology through the use of GIS in
integrating ideas and information at all levels of governance.
In 2005, the DENR in partnership with
Conservation International (CI) – Philippines spearheaded the Eastern Mindanao
Biodiversity Corridor (EMBC) Project, where the GIS technology was used in
crafting the EMBC Conservation Framework. In 2006, the CI-Philippines shared
with NEDA Caraga their experience in institutionalizing the Regional GIS
Network in Region II.
Since then, NEDA Caraga persistently pursued the
institutionalization of a similar GIS Network in the region. Due to the huge
funding requirement, the project was implemented by phase. In 2008, a Project
Proposal for the Establishment of GIS at NEDA was prepared and submitted to
potential Donors. Congressman Jose S. Aquino II of the First Congressional
District of Agusan del Norte – Las Nieves and Butuan City responded to the
proposal of NEDA Caraga and provided funds amounting to P250, 000 for the
procurement of one unit (1) GIS server.
In the same year, the NEDA Caraga submitted to
KOICA a request for the service of a Korea Overseas Volunteer (KOV) on GIS and
a project proposal. Two (2) Korean Overseas Volunteers with expertise on GIS
and computer programming were deployed to NEDA Caraga. The Donor also provided
funding support of approximately US$50,000 for the procurement of GIS Equipment
such as one (1) unit plotter, one (1) unit large format scanner, one (1) unit
Garmin GPS, one (1) unit Trimble GPS, one (1) unit server, two (2) units
desktops and others. Moreover, another KOV assigned in Aurora State University
was temporarily assigned to NEDA Caraga to develop a web-based geographic
information system.
After almost two years since the Caraga RDC
passed Resolution No. 23, Series of 2009, "A Resolution Establishing and
Institutionalizing the Regional Geographic Information System Network (RGISN)
under the Regional Development Council (RDC)", Mr. Kim Jinoh, Korea
International Cooperation Agency (KOICA) Resident Representative to the
Philippines, graced the inauguration of the Regional GIS Center and the
launching of the web-based RGISN v1.0 system on March 22, 2011.
In 2012, the GIZ granted Php 1.2 Million to NEDA
for the enhancement of the Center and has deployed Wilfried Gebhardt, a German
volunteer with Land Use Planning expertise to further develop the RGISN of the
region.
With these developments, the RDC with its
partners will continue to undertake actions to realize the RGISN’s vision which
is to be “the premier provider of quality and up-to-date spatial information
and GIS services in Caraga for effective planning, resource allocation and
management”. This vision can only be achieved with the support of the regional
line agencies, local government units, academe, and other stakeholders in
providing accurate, consistent, accessible, affordable, and comprehensive GIS
data and services to support the development needs of Caraga Region. (NEDA-13/PIA-Caraga)
