Govt info officers urged to use social networking

ILOILO City Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Region 6 Director Janet Mesa urged government information officers to use online social networking in information dissemination.

Move on to social networking through the use of the internet and be on social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter and MySpace. Open your municipalities to these new exciting outlets of information and use them effectively to disseminate government information, said Mesa during the induction of the new set of officers of the Association of Government Information Officers in Iloilo held at Damires Hills in Janiuay, Iloilo.

Mesa also urged them to be consistent in their attendance in meetings and submission of accomplishments of their agencies and local government units for dissemination.

Mesa said a municipality is active and efficient not only because of the leadership of the local chief executive but also because of the information support given by the information officers.

The more you talk, the more people will know and support development, said Mesa as she congratulated the new set of officers headed by Juvy Gaton, head of the Information Division of the Department of Agriculture Regional Field Unit 6.

Janiuay Mayor Frankie Locsin inducted Gaton and the other officers that included:

* David Israel Sinay of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources 6 vice president for National Government Agencies

* Susan Jovero of the municipality of Pavia vice president for local government units

* May Castillo of the Department of Social Welfare and Development 6 secretary
