The cellphone number of Gov. Roel Degamo has been swamped with text messages from people asking for tips for the illegal “swertres” game.{{more}}
The messages were addressed to the Governor’s number, 09212075236, which the Capitol opened for the “I-text mo kang Degamo” program.
The program is intended to receive feedback from the public on the programs and projects implemented by the provincial government.
The information office of the Capitol added they are compiling all the text messages received including the dates and numbers of the senders for future references.
However, Degamo said he welcomes all types of messages — from complaints against the programs of the government, against employees and officials, personal concerns, and requests.
This effort is in line with the continuing campaign of the provincial government against red tape, he said.
He is also confident that the hotline will help in the provincial government’s continuing efforts against red tape.
Degamo has assured that all messages sent thru the hotline will be treated with confidentiality and that he will promptly act on the concerns that will be raised. (RMN/PIA7 with reports from PNA)
