Alfelor to Revive Provincial Development Council
"The Provincial Development Council is an important tool for the progress of the province of Camarines Sur, therefore I will revive it to ensure that all sectors of society have a voice in the improvement of the province." Cong. Felix R. Alfelor, Jr., the Lakas-Kampi-CMD standard bearer for the Camarines Sur gubernatorial race said in a statement to multi-sectoral groups.
Talking about good governance to multi-sectoral groups, Alfelor, the three-term Congressman of the Rinconada District, added that the Provincial Development Council is a useful tool in ensuring that the provincial government is acting in alignment with the needs of its constituents.
Alfelor also stated that the council is an effective tool in promoting transparency in governance as it ensures that priority projects are implemented properly. The Council also serves as a venue to give a voice to different sectors of society.
It has been noted that the Provincial Development Council has been inactive for the past three years and multi-sectoral groups from the agricultural sector and civil society had been clamouring for a voice in provincial development.
