By Renato Bashir Ilupa
PROSPERIDAD, Agusan del Sur, Oct. 20 (PIA) – A
satellite office of the National Bureau Investigation (NBI) has been formally
inaugurated recently at the Provincial Capitol, Gov. D.O. Plaza Government
Center here.
NBI Caraga director lawyer Dante Gierran thanked
Gov. Adolph Edward Plaza for giving NBI a space for its office at the
Provincial Capitol. He said that someday he will turn this newly inaugurated
office into a regular NBI District Office which will function like a regional
office.
Gov. Plaza also promised the NBI director that he
will extend his support to the bureau. The Governor made efforts for the
establishment of the said NBI satellite office so that the people of the
province and nearby towns in Surigao del Sur need not go to Butuan City and
spend a lot of time and money just to secure an NBI clearance.
Meanwhile, it was also learned that the provincial
government is working for the establishment of an extension office of the
Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) in the province as well as the Philippine
Overseas Employment Administration (POEA), Overseas Workers Welfare
Administration (OWWA) and Philippine Statistics Office in the near future.
The governor further revealed that he intends to
pursue the dreams of his late father, Gov. Democrito O. Plaza to have all these
offices in one location - that is at the Gov. D.O. Plaza Government Center
thereby bringing the government closer to the people. (JPG/PIA-Agusan del Sur)
