RDC-Private Sector Representatives to sit as PDC
members
Private Sector Representatives (PSRs) to the RDC5 have gained the
Council’s nod for their extended involvement as members of their
respective Provincial Development Councils (PDCs).
John
Abejuro, PSR-Albay and concurrent chairman of the Development
Administration Committee (DAC), said this concern originally
emanated from the RDC-PSRs National Conference held last Nov. 12-14,
2008, at Los Baños, Laguna.
As
indicated in action agenda, the RDC-PSRs recommended that they be
actively involved in their respective PDCs to promote consistency
and to harmonize plans and investment programs between the province
they represent and the regional level.
All
RDC sectoral committees during separate meetings on July 15 and 16
endorsed the recommendation to the RDC.
The
Council acted favorably as it strongly urged PDCs to invite the
RDC’s geographic PSRs as non-voting members.
