By Gaby B. Keith

BAGUIO CITY -- The Dept. of the Interior and Local Government Baguio office under Millicent Carino is set to meet Mayor Benjamin Magalong and heads of the Management Information and Technology Division, City Library and Public Information Office, early this coming year to strengthen partnership on knowledge sharing specifically on local governance.

    The meeting was supposed to have been held last Dec. 12 at the DILG-Cordillera office but had to be postponed due to unforeseen circumstances.
    Carino said her office is currently in the process of establishing a Sub-Local Governance Resource Center of Baguio City (Sub-LGRC Baguio) as the knowledge distributor and source of knowledge products regarding local governance.
    She said the center is a convergence platform for developing, brokering, managing, and facilitating the exchange of information and knowledge between and among local governance stakeholders.
    Carino disclosed that her office has identified select Learning Resource Institute, Civil Service Organizations and LGU Baguio to be part of the Multi-Stakeholders Advisory Council for Sub-LGRC-Baguio.
