COTABATO CITY --- A city official here
has urged village chairpersons to make use of social media to inform the public
about the services available for them and the programs the village government
is implementing for its residents.
City
Administrator Danda Juanday issued the appeal to all 37 village chairpersons
during a meeting last February 25 where the memorandum of the Department of the
Interior and Local Government on road clearing was discussed.
“Use
the social media in informing our people about what you are doing, almost
everybody now is in the social media,” he said in an interview over local radio
station following the meeting.
While
most, if not all village chairpersons and other village officials have Facebook
(FB) accounts, Juanday said it is also necessary for them to come up with an
official FB page so all the announcements, bidding of projects, hiring of
employees, emergency notices, and pronouncements from their respective village
government can be posted.
However,
the village officials were reminded to only use the official Barangay FB page
as a venue for information and not for disinformation or attacking other
personalities.
“Many
government offices, aside from maintaining a website, have also FB accounts,”
Juanday said.
A study
showed that as of 2019, at least 76 million Filipinos have FB accounts. (EDWIN
