TACLOBAN CITY, Nov. 19 (PIA) -- Members of the private media coming from the six provinces in the Eastern Visayas Region have converged in this city with the common objective in mind- to help the government in the strategic communication campaign versus the insurgents' propaganda.

PIA Regional Director Erlinda Olivia P. Tiu, head of the Strategic Communication Cluster in Eastern Visayas, emphasized in her opening remarks that the convergence of media practitioners in the region "seeks to find collaboration and unity" as a way of intensifying community advocacy.

"The Stratcom cluster identifies challenges to win the hearts and minds of the Filipino masses," Tiu said and adding this can be done by effectively countering propaganda against the masses.
