MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Aug. 29 (PIA) --- The Regional Board of
Investments in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (RBOI-ARMM) was again
recognized by the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) as an outstanding partner
for its report on regional economic development.
Atty. Ishak
Mastura, RBOI-ARMM chairman, received the ‘Dynamic Balance, Philippine Eagle’
trophy crafted by visual artist and multi-awarded sculptor Ferdinand Cacnio.
RBOI is the first agency from ARMM to receive such award.
With the theme
‘Sustained Partnership, Sustained Economic Growth,’ the awards ceremony and
appreciation lunch on August 23 was held to acknowledge the agency’s successful
partnership with stakeholders and to honor its exemplary support to BSP’s
statistical undertakings, information needs, and advocacy programs.
“Due to the
value, comprehensiveness, and timeliness of the information/reports, the agency
has provided BSP an annual publication of the report on Regional Economic
Development in the Philippines,” Atty. Mastura said.
The agency also has a high track record of cooperation, which is another
criterion for the said award category.
Atty. Mastura
said the agency has been open to the public through its official website and
has been intensifying its information dissemination through the help of media
networks.
“This is part
of our active participation in upholding transparency and open governance by
the Hataman administration and in support to President Duterte’s executive
order on freedom of information that we in the government are mandated to full
public disclosure,” said Atty. Mastura.
“We make sure
that relevant information is being shared with its stakeholders and partners
who need ARMM’s investment-related data like the BSP. This is also our way of
providing useful knowledge that will further contribute to the advancement of
an informed government and society as a whole,” he added.
BSP has been
giving recognition to its outstanding partners annually as a way of expressing
gratitude for the strong support it receives from its partner institutions. (BPI-ARMM/PIA-10)
