Army joins information officers' forum

From the Philippine Information Agency (Dec 28): Army joins information officers' forum

Some 30 civil military officers (CMO) of the 10th Infantry Division took part of the 1st Davao Region Information Forum (Inforum) held at Big 8 Corporate Hotel, Tagum City recently.

Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Regional Director Efren Elbanbuena highlighted the participation of the military as they are also delivering communication services to the grassroots level.

“Aside from the information officers of the local government units, It is also important that the CMO officers know the services of other government agencies so that they can properly deal with the residents they are serving,” Elbanbuena said.

The Regional Inforum with the theme ‘Communicating Inclusive Governance’ discussed the overview of the peace process, Ambisyon Natin 2040, Energy Conservation in the Household and Social Media.

Major Harold Ho, OIC-CMO of the 10th ID, said that they need seminars like to better communicate the residents in their area of responsibility and to closely partner with the local government unit information officers in their information, education and communication (IEC) activities.

During the event, CMOs were given a chance to bond with their fellow information officers from the area of responsibility through a Christmas Party.
