CITY OF SAN FERNANDO - Governor Lilia Pineda the other day suggested to the national government to avoid giving assistance to non-government organizations (NGOs) which failed to be registered in the provincial government.
She said that NGOs and other peoples organization need to be accredited and secured clearance in the provincial level before they could avail entitlement or support particularly monetary assistance from any department of the government.
This was in response with the present controversy in the national government involving NGOs and the higher officials.
It can be noted that several NGOs were used by some corrupt officials to satisfy their personal interest which resulted to misused of government funds.
With this, she urged the concerned organizations in Pampanga to get or renew their accreditation every year so that the same could be evaluated being partners in development of the province.
The registration of the interested organizations with the provincial government can be done with the help of the provincal board.
However, Pineda clarified that only those duly accredited NGOs and public organizations by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) will be entertained for the registration in the province.
In case of the cooperatives, they need to be listed in the Cooperative Development Authority (CDA) or to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
