The National Commission for Culture and the Arts (NCCA) has entered into a memorandum of agreement (MOA) with the Aklan Press Club, Inc. (APCI) to promote culture and tourism in Western Visayas.
Dr. Ambrosio R. Villorente, APCI president, said the support of NCCA is crucial in the development and promotion of cultural tourism and projects in the region.
“The stronger linkages of NCCA and growing enthusiasm in the region enhance the activities for intercultural and artistic development. This opens opportunities for local organizations to expand cultural programs in the communities,” he added.
On October 29 to 31, some 100 journalists will attend the Boracay Media Summit. Media practitioners and professionals, public information officers, student publications’ staff, communication faculty, students from the cities, and local government officials in Panay and other parts of the country are expected to attend the conference.
Villorente said the media summit with the theme “The Expanding Frontiers of Media in the Promotion and Enhancement of Culture, Tourism and Environment,” will contribute to the development of Philippine culture and the arts.
Press Secretary Jesus Dureza, Presidential Assistant on Culture and Executive Director Cecile Guidote-Alvarez, Bohol Rep. Edgardo Chato and Local Water Utilities Administration (LWUA) Chairman Prospero Pechay are expected to grace the media summit. Mr. Juan P. Dayang, PAPI President announced the invited guests have already confirmed their attendance.
The NCCA is a government agency created by virtue of Republic Act No. 7352 in April 1992 to encourage the continuing and balanced development of a pluralistic culture of the people and to conserve and promote the nation’s cultural heritage.
It also ensures the widest dissemination of artistic and cultural products. It preserves and integrates traditional culture and its various creative expressions as a dynamic part of the national cultural mainstream. /MP
