In a recent radio interview, Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Secretary Martin A. Andanar emphasized that most of the projects and programs are in the General Appropriations Act, “meaning kahit anong gagawin ng susunod na administrasyon talagang masusunod po ito at maipagpapatuloy.” 

The new laws and policies are clarified for the complete information of the people. And the provision of basic services for the participants and beneficiaries will also be carried out for smooth and easy access of government services.

In Zamboanga Peninsula region, the Barangayanihan Caravan is held at the Zamboanga del Norte Police Provincial Office grounds, Dipolog City.

The activity ensures all government employees to comply and perform their duties as public servants to the best of their abilities with honesty, enthusiasm, and always instill that a “public office is a public trust.”
