Nueva Viscaya barangay officials trained in legislation

More than 600 barangay officials of the province recently received enhancement training to improve their skills on legislation.

Board member Elma Pinao-an Lejao, president of the Lady Local Legislators’ League of the Philippines, Inc. (FOUR L)–Nueva Vizcaya Chapter said the training intends to expose barangay officials on the principles of legislation.

“Many of our barangay officials from barangay captain to Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) members are new in their positions and with this training, we can teach them to write quality local ordinances and resolutions,” she said.

Pinao-an added that the participants came from the 275 barangays of the province.

According to Pinao-an, the participants were oriented on local budget preparation and authorization, the new Government Procurement Reform Act or RA 9184, local legislative processes, parliamentary procedures, and the workings of the Barangay Council for the Protection of Children (BCPC) and Violence Against Women and Children (VAWC) Desk.

 

“An open forum also clarified the queries of the participants on various issues and concerns on local governance,” the lady legislator said. (Benjamin Moses M. Ebreo)
