The two-day national conference on the localization of the Millennium Development Goals through teaching and governance ended yesterday with high hopes that results will be adopted by the different participating local government units.
The conference was conducted with the national convention of the Association of Public Administrators of the Philippines held at the Luce Auditorium of Silliman University, in Dumaguete City. It took up the impact of MDGs in local governance, the role of public administration schools in local governance, and the innovative learning techniques for MDG localization, among others.
The scheduled keynote speaker was United Nations representative,
Dr. Zahidul Huque, but his message was read by Silliman University Board
of Trustees chairman Prof. Leonor Briones in his absence.

Mayor
pursues cage project Ayungon Mayor Edsel Enardecido said he will pursue his bangus fish cage project to provide additional livelihood to coastal residents of the municipality, in Oriental Negros. The regional office of the Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources has committed to support his project, the mayor said. Enardecido also said that the government recognizes the need to promote food security by increasing fish production through the accelerated transfer of fishing technology and training of coastal fisher folks who are the direct participants in the proper management of marine water resources. He had earlier asked for financial help from the BFAR to help
build the project. |
