SAN JOSE DE BUENAVISTA, Antique — The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) in Antique is now preparing for the Barangay Newly-Elected Officials (BNEO) seminar.
Natalie Grace Azarraga of the DILG Antique, in an interview Thursday, said the seminar will be held right after the municipal level election of the League of Barangays on July 16 and the provincial election on July 30.
“We will start conducting the BNEO seminar by August then,” Azarraga said.
She said that they have received the primer for the seminar from the DILG main office.
The seminar would teach newly-elected barangay officials about barangay governance and administration.
The province of Antique has a total of 590 barangays in 18 municipalities.
Azarraga said that last June 22 the DILG Antique conducted a special training for the Sangguniang Kabataan (SK) officials, who were unable to undergo their mandatory training held last May 21-25, in the University of Antique Main Campus in Sibalom and in its three other extension campuses in Tibiao, Libertad and Caluya towns.
She said the special training was intended for other SK officials so that they would be able to take oath and occupy their elective positions. (Annabel Consuelo Petinglay/PNA)
