Informing the public on administration's programs a duty of gov't agencies - Limcaoco
Secretary Conrado A. Limcaoco Jr. stressed this in a radio interview as he earlier encouraged other government agencies to set a portion of their budgets to help disseminate to the people the gains in various fronts achieved by the Arroyo administration for the last nine years.
The PIA recently placed newspaper advertisements on the administration’s achievements, and intends to put out more.
Limcaoco, also the officer-in-charge of the Office of the Press Secretary, said there is sometimes a need for an attractive means to communicate such accomplishments.
However, he pointed out that not all costs of billboards and tarpaulins carrying government programs and projects are borne by state agencies. (PNA)
