MANILA, August 24 (PIA)–Kalinaw ug kahusay sa katilingban ang mahinongdanong pundasyon sa mga polisiyang pang-ekonomiya sa Pilipinas nga mao usab ang prayoridad sa administrasyon ni Presidente Rodrigo Duterte. Matud pa ni National Economic and Development Authority (NEDA) Director-General ug Socioeconomic Planning Kalihim Ernesto Pernia, aron makab-ot ang paglambo sa ekonomiya, kinahanglan ang kalinaw ug kahusay ug pagsumpo sa kriminalidad, ilegal nga droga, smuggling, tax evasion ug uban pang ilegal nga buhat. Pinaagi niini, mas daghan ang madaning mamuhonan sa nasod ug mas molambo pa ang atong ekonomiya. Apan bisan pa sa pipila ka grupo sa Pilipinas ang nisaway sa kampanya sa Presidente batok sa ilegal nga droga, gipahayag ni Pernia atol sa usa ka press conference kagahapon sa Malakanyang nga mas daghan ang giingong uyon sa pagpadagan sa kasamtangang Presidente tungod sa pagkunhod sa crime rate. Giingong wala usab angay ikahadlok ang mga banyagang nagplanong mobisita sa nasod basta mosunod lamang sa balaod sa Pilipinas. Samtang apil usab sa mga prayoridad sa administrasyong Duterte aron mapabiling malambuon ang ekonomiya mao ang pagsulong sa mga infrastructure projects.

PROV’L GOV’T supports ‘Bold’ Women Power for Change
IT WAS IN the late 19th century when the International Council of Women (ICW), the first international women’s rights organization, was formed. Now, more than a century later, women’s rights organizations are still going strong; and women all over the world have chosen the Month of March as International Women’s Month and March 8 as International Women’s Day (IWD). In the Philippines, the designated month and day are the same as that of the IWD’s, given credence through Presidential Proclamation No. 227 series of 1998 and Republic Act 6949 series of 1990, respectively. As per Joint Memorandum No. 2017 by the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG), the Provincial Government of Bohol (PGBh), the Philippine National Police (PNP), and the Department of Education (DepEd), this is to give recognition to the important role and contribution of women to Philippine society. This year’s theme is “Be Bold for Change.” To ensure a more meaningful and uniform observance of the 2017 Women’s Month here in Bohol, and in consonance with the Philippine Commission of Women and Women’s Month Celebration, Liza M. Quirog, Gender and Development (GAD) Focal Person and SEEM Cluster Head of the PGBh, informed all concerned that the PGBh, through Gov. Edgar M. Chatto, is strongly supporting the advocacy with the theme, “We Make Change Work for Women.” The same memo enjoins all local chief executives to conduct simultaneous and synchronized activities mentioned therein. These are the conduct of a Female-led Fun Run (Run for a Cause) last March 8 at 5:00 in the morning; immediately followed by a Zumbabae for All (Zumba). A three-day rummage sale...No Results Found
