Tagalog News: Ibat-ibang sektor sa lungsod ng
Butuan buo ang suportang ibinigay sa ginanap na ASEAN forum at PIA info kiosk
launching
Ni Jennifer P. Gaitano
LUNGSOD NG BUTUAN, Abril 19 (PIA) - Dahil sa mainit
na pagtanggap ng ibat-ibang sektor sa imbitasyon ng Philippine Information
Agency (PIA) Caraga, naging matagumpay ang ginanap na forum sa Association of
Southeast Asian Nations o ASEAN dito sa lungsod ng Butuan kamakailan.
Ayon kay deputy director general Gregorio Angelo
Villar ng PIA, ang nasabing ASEAN forum ay isa lamang sa napakaraming paraan ng
ahensya upang mapalaganap sa publiko ang mahahalagang impormasyon patungkol sa
mga benepisyo at oportunidad na makukuha ng mga Pilipino sa gaganaping ASEAN
summit kung saan ang Pilipinas ang syang host sa taong ito.
Dagdag pa ni DDG Villar, malaki ang maitutulong ng
ibat-ibang sektor sa pagbibigay impormasyon tungkol sa ASEAN lalung-lalo na
doon sa liblib na barangay na kinabibilangan nila upang sa ganun ay aktibong
makilahok ang marginalized na sektor ng lipunan sa mga benepisyong maibibigay
ng ASEAN community.
Laking papasalamat din ni regional director Abner
Caga ng PIA Caraga sa mga partisipante sa kanilang aktibong partisipasyon at
kooperasyon sa nasabing pagpupulong. Naipahayag
umano ng ibat-ibang sektor ang kanilang mga tanong, opinyon, at
klaripikasyon patungkol sa ASEAN, maging
ang kani-kanilang mungkahi kung papaano pa mapapalago ang kabuhayan ng mga
Pilipino sa ASEAN community.
Mas naintindihan rin umano ng mga Caraganons ang
ASEAN at kabutihang maidudulot nito sa bansa, lalung-lalo na sa rehiyon.
Samantala, inilunsad din ng PIA Caraga sa
pakikipagtulungan ng Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) Butuan
ang ASEAN Information Kiosk sa arrival area ng Butuan airport, kung saan may
free access ang mga biyaherong papasok at palabas sa nasabing lungsod sa
ibat-ibang information, education and communication o IEC materials ng mga
serbisyo at programa galing sa mga ahensya ng gobyerno.
Isa rin umano itong paraan upang mas lalo pang
maipalaganap ang mga magagandang oportunidad na maaaring pakinabangan ng mga
Caraganons. (JPG/PIA-Caraga)
