seeking donations from abroad in his effort to continuously provide assistance

towns in the third district to enhance the capability of the towns in
responding to emergencies by utilizing these vehicles.
Last Monday, Rep. Yap turned-over

Rep.
Yap in his speech said that “with this firetruck, I believe that the local
authorities will be able to attend to emergencies more effectively, save more
lives and better prevent the destruction of properties and livelihoods, and
thus enhance the human security of the local people.”
Said
Masuda Seigo, chairman of Shimotsuma
City Council: “The city of Shimotsuma has been active in keeping the population
safe from fire and this truck has been used in doing so... we would like the
Loay municipality to receive the truck because this truck has been of service
to Shimotsuma."

Last
week, BEPO had facilitated the mobile services of national agencies as part of
their regular programs. National agencies which do not have full service
offices in Bohol like PRC, NSO, LTFRB and DFA are invited to conduct
mobile services in the province on a regular basis. Over the years,
thousands of clients mostly job seekers, public school teachers and other
professionals have benefited the Mobile Services with the convenience of
transacting with those agencies right here in the province.
“It’s
bringing government services closer to
the people," says Romy Tagaan, head of BEPO. He is also supported
by Ma. Vilma Yorong, PESO manager, Erlie
Heramis, mobile services coordinator, Gay
Manolong and Villa Lopena, admin
officers, Reinerio Augusto Real, consultant
on OFW matters, Robert Cister, STARS
project coordinator and a team of job order workers.

It
was her grandma, the late Petra Caseñas, who told her to join Miss Bohol Sandugo.

secret in sustaining my poise and grace under pressure especially during Q and
