The Provincial Information Office (PIO) has launched the first Albay PIO Net TV.
This is the next generation of a 2-hour program, the first in the history of PIO, that will cater to timely and relevant issues to combat fake news and disinformation in the province.
This is a flagship program of Albay Provincial Information Officer Atty. Marylou Duka-Castillo under the leadership of Governor Edcel Greco Lagman.
During the premiere episode, Duka-Castillo emphasized that the initiative is part of her commitment to the PGA to activate and strengthen the dissemination of relevant information regarding the programs and projects of the government toward achieving more productive, educated, and well-informed Albayanos.
“We’ll make sure that the office provides reliable information and discussions and helps Albayanos become critical thinkers.”
“This program will be discussing real issues and information about the province. We’ll make sure that the office provides reliable information and discussions and helps Albayanos become critical thinkers,” she explained.
Meanwhile, Lagman extended his full support to Duka-Castillo by joining the launch on May 5.
During the interview, the governor congratulated her and the people behind the initiative, as he believes that through this realization, every Albayano will be well informed and rejectors of fake news.
“Matagal na natin na inaasam-asam ito, and thank you for this effort.”
“Matagal na natin na inaasam-asam ito, and thank you for this effort. This is a very good stage and avenue na makasagap sila ng makatotohanan na balita. The PIO is for all Albayanos,” he said.
“This is the first time the PIO has launched such a program, and it’s an idea whose time has come, especially in the backdrop of the digital age that arrived at the close of the 20th century and continuously intensified at the advent of the new millennia in 2000,” Lagman added.
