The Presidential Communications Operations Office will be coming to this capital city of Negros Oriental for the 2019 PCOO Roadshow on Freedom of Information and Campus Caravan next week.

Jennifer Catan-Tilos, Infocen manager of the Philippine Information Agency here, said the roadshow is part of PCOO’s information, education, and communications campaign to “increase media and information literacy to promote responsible handling and sharing of information and end the proliferation of fake news.”

The event also aims to inform stakeholders of efforts in enhancing the protection of local media practitioners through the Presidential Task Force on Media Security, promote gender equality, educate the public on the Rehabinasyon campaign against illegal drugs, and raise civic awareness, transparency and accountability in governance through the Freedom of Information Program.

The PCOO roadshow also aims to partner with educational institutions to include the FOI Program in their curricula and promote it as an academic tool for research, as well as inform and engage the government and the private sector and other sectors of society on the current administration’s initiatives.

PCOO Sec. Jose Ruperto Martin Andanar is expected to grace the occasion as keynote speaker, while PTFoMS Executive Director, Undersecretary Joel Sy Egco is expected to speak on Safeguarding Press Freedom in the Philippines.

The events are set to be held on Thursday, Nov. 28 at Silliman University. (Judy F. Partlow/PNA)
