I congratulate the Iloilo MBOs Association for successfully hosting this year's year end seminar. Thus far, it is the biggest in term of participants - about 210, some coming from the accounting and treasury groups.
On the technical side, the participants were able to take a second look on how to prepare the local budget matrix, cash program, and performance evaluation. They also had the opportunity to resolve with COA certain issues related to their role in obligation and disbursements. It was unfortunate that Secretary Andaya was not able to come. He was supposed to join the President for a cabinet meeeting and consultation here in Iloilo City. But the Secretary's no-show did not dampen the enthusiasm of the participants. I had to pitch in to give them a glimpse of what the proposed Government Compensation and Classification System is all about.
The presentation of each provincial association during the fellowship night was a revelation and a show-off of hidden talents. But the Iloilo MBOs' version of Kris Aquino's "Deal or No Deal" hosted by Ramie Madero of Pavia stole the whole show. Everybody had a hearty laugh.
