 ZAMBOANGA CITY, Sept 30 (PIA) - It is the Filipinos’ right to know where taxpayer’s money is being spent and it is government’s prime duty to report their accomplishment to the 109 Million Filipino-stakeholders, said Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO) Chief Secretary Martin M. Andanar. 

 

“Duterte Legacy is a reporting campaign to the people, sa mga saad ni President Rodrigo Roa Duterte (PRRD) atong 2016 na iyang natuman sa atong katawhan, (Duterte Legacy is reporting campaign to the people of his promises in 2016 that were delivered to the people),” Andanar said during his regional rounds over RPN dxKD Dipolog.

PCOO Chief said the Duterte Legacy Campaign is a whole of government campaign that will last until June 2022. 

 

“Tanang mga ahensya na nakatabang sa legasiya ni PRRD atong gireport (accomplishments of all agencies of government that have contributed to PRRD’s legacy are included in the report),” he said.

 

Past administrations have no clear-cut legacy campaign, only in this administration that a legacy campaign was formally launched through the PCOO and is carried out every day using traditional media and social media platforms through Sec. Andanar’s regional rounds in partnership with PIA and the LGUs of the county. 

 

“Kato niadto musalig raman ang administrasyon sa State of the Nation Address (SONA) sa ilang presidente, labi na sa last year nga SONA, paghuman wala na, kay transition na dayun to the next government (in the past, the administration would only rely on the president’s SONA especially the last SONA, after that no one cares anymore because it’s already transition time for the next government),” Andanar compared.

“Kinahanglan ning Duterte Legacy Communications Campaign because we need to report to the people kung gi-unsa pag gastos ang hinaguan nga taxpayers’ money. (Duterte Legacy Campaign is essential to let the people know where the taxpayers’ money is spent).” 

 

The government needs to report its accomplishments to the 109M Filipino-stakeholders. Accomplishments on peace, law and order, poverty alleviation and anti-corruption drive, among many others. 

 

Andanar took pride of the major accomplishment of the PCCO, which is the establishment of the first ever state-of-the art Media facility in Mindanao that was turned over in 2020 in Davao. Andanar also said that Visayas will soon have its own Media Hub in 2022 as PRRD have already given his approval on this project. (RVC/EDT/JPA/PIA9-Zamboanga Sibugay)
