PA, Regional Directors Hold Executive Briefing In Aklan

Aklan was the host of the second in a series of executive briefings initiated by the Office of the Presidential Assistant (PA) for Panay and Guimaras.
The executive briefing was held in Aklan on October 23, 2007. It was spearheaded by Assistant Secretary Raul N. Banias, the newly-appointed Presidential Assistant for Panay and Guimaras, in coordination with the Philippine Information Agency and the Regional Association of National Government Executives (RANGE).
PA Banias informed Aklan Governor, Carlito S. Marquez the series of executive briefings will involve a presentation by the Governors of their respective provincial programs of action.
“Through these, it is hoped that the Provincial Governments and the line agencies could identify areas of mutual concern and how best they can work together to achieve their common objectives,” PA Banias said.
The briefing is also seen as an opportunity for governors, new and re-elected, together with their provincial board members and mayors to meet the new Presidential Assistant and the Regional Directors.
The association of regional directors is now headed by Dr. Ma. Janet C. Mesa who is the Assistant Director–General of PIA for the Visayas and at the same time PIA 6 Regional Director.
The briefing in Aklan was the second one held in Panay, the first briefing having been conducted in Capiz on October 16.
After Aklan, briefings will also be held in Iloilo, Guimaras and Antique, scheduled at their convenience from October to November of this year. /MP
