A two-day activity dubbed as “Provincial Orientation on Barangay Advocacy on the Prevention of Corruption” was sponsored by the Department on December 18-19, 2018 at Cafe Federico, Crown Hotel, Naga City. It was a pilot activity in the province, which was attended by three Civil Society Organization (CSO) representatives from the barangays of Abella, Bagumbayan Norte, Calauag, Cararayan, Carolina, Concepcion Grande, Dinaga, Del Rosario, Sabang, and Triangulo.

 

The orientation is in keeping with the administration’s resolve to purge the country of the evils of corruption. It aimed to reduce and eventually eradicate corruption through information and education campaigns and community organization and mobilization. Specifically, it endeavored to empower CSOs to be more proactive as watchdogs in the fight against corruption.
