DILG’s new project calls for transparency By: Kirk Ellen B. Liponhay, Liceo U MassComm Intern
The Full Disclosure Policy Portal (FDPP) is a webbased view portal created to assist local government units in complying with the online posting requirement of the Full Disclosure Policy. People may view, download and print local government financial documents. The project was launched in November 26 of last year and was spearheaded by former DILG Sec. Jesse M. Robredo. The portal can be accessed on http://fdpp.dilg. gov.ph. On the other hand, FDPP is under the project of Full Disclosure Policy meaning it requires LGUs to post their budgets finances, and bids.
The importance of this is that people are now made aware of how much public funds are available for the development of their communities and to what extent the LGU can help them. Second, people are informed of how public funds are allocated and spent. Third, if not totally prevent corruption at least minimize it and lastly it helps to promote transparency, accountability and good performance in government financial transactions. According to DILG, the Local government code of 1991 requires the posting of the disclosure should be dilg /P5
clean-up drive - Kaugnay sa pagdiriwang ng Earth Day, pinangunahan ni Misis Hanepbuhay Cynthia Villar ang clean-up drive sa Las Pinas-Paranaque Critical Habitat & Eco-Tourism (LPPCHEA), na kamakailan lamang ay napabilang sa “Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance.
Cynthia Villar, nanguna sa Manila Bay clean-up drive KAUGNAY ng paparating na pagdiriwang ng Earth Day, pinangunahan ni Team PNoy senatorial candidate Cynthia Villar ang clean-up drive sa Manila Bay sa Las Pinas-Paranaque Critical Habitat & Eco-Tourism Area (LPPCHEA), na kamakailan lamang ay napabilang sa “Ramsar List of Wetlands of International Importance”, isang intergovernmental treaty para pangalagaan ang likas na yaman. “Kailangang alagaan natin ang ating kapaligiran. Dapat nating ipakita ang ating pagmamahal sa kalikasan sa pagbibigay
sa atin ng lahat ng ating kailangan,” giit ni Villar. Ang paglilinis sa Manila Bay, ani Villar, ay isa lamang simpleng paraan ng pagpapasamat at pagpapakita ng ating pagmamahal sa kalikasan, at ang pag-aalaga at pagmamahal sa ating kapaligiran ay hindi lamang dapat gawin tuwing Earth Day. “Sa araw-araw nating pamumuhay, dapat na pagsikapan nating pangalagaan ang ating kapaligiran,” ani Villar na kilala sa bansag na “Misis Hanepbuhay” dahil sa pagbibigay ng hanapbuhay sa ating mga kababayan. Sa naturang clean-up
activity na nagsimula ng alas-7 ng umaga, si Villar ay sinamahan ng mga magaaral at volunteers mula sa iba’t-ibang sector. Ang paglilinis ng Manila Bay ay sinundan ng pagikot sa LPPCHEA sakay ng bangka dakong 7:30 ng umaga. Ang aktibidades ay nagtapos sa pamamagitan ng boodle fight kung saan nakiisa rin si Villar. Ayon sa tatlong terminong kongresista ng Las Pinas, labis siyang natutuwa dahil pakonti na nang pakonti ang nakukuha nilang basura sa Manila Bay sa lugar ng LPPCHEA. Aniya,
dahil na rin ito sa tuluytuloy na paglilinis sa Manila Bay. Linggu-linggo ang ginagawang paglilinis dito ng Villar Foundation (kung saan si Villar ang tumatayong Managing Director) kasama ang mga mag-aaral at iba pang volunteers. “Mas makabubuti sa kapaligiran kung mas marami tayong kaakibat sa ginagawa nating paglilinis,” sabi pa ni Villar. May Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) ang Villar Foundation at Manila Broadcasting Company (MBC), na kinakatawan ng villar /P5
