Your Request You asked for Government Strategic Communications Learning and Research Center. Response to Request In response to your request, please be informed that your FOI Request is PARTIALLY SUCCESSFUL. The Government Strategic Communications Center to be established in Maniolo Fortich, Bukidnon will be the first of its kind in the Philippines to address the lack of uniformity in communications paradigm as there are different communications style in the government, different style in media and public relations from one department to the other and even in the local government units. The center will have facilities such as an auditorium, two classrooms, meeting rooms, a canteen and one big news room and laboratory. The laboratory will also have a functional community television, community radio station, community news agency, and a social media division. With regard to the specific inquiries on as to the set programs/activities, the organizational structure, and the number of employees, there is no available information yet because we are still at the pre-construction stage of the facility. The proposal is for a facility worth One Hundred Million Pesos. However, the mentioned amount will still be subjected to the scrutiny and approval of Congress. Should you have any question or clarification, your Office may contact Ms. Danica Orcullo at telephone number 588-0691 or email at [email protected]. Thank you. Sincerely yours, FOI Officers
