Department of Budget and Management Secretary Amenah F. Pangandaman expressed her profound appreciation and commendation to the Public Financial Management Competency Program (PFMCP) resource speakers in a recognition ceremony on December 7 at the Heritage Hotel, Pasay City

"Sa lahat po ng bumubuo ng PFMCP, taos-puso po akong nagpapasalamat at sumasaludo sa inyo. Kayo po ang dahilan kung bakit nadala na natin ang PFMCP sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa—mula sa Region I hanggang BARMM. Sana po ay patuloy ninyo kaming samahan at suportahan na pag-igihin at pagandahin pa natin lalo ang PFM practice sa bansa. At makakaasa po kayong patuloy din ang Department of Budget and Management sa pagsusulong ng mga programang tulad nito," Secretary Pangandaman said in her message.

Meanwhile, Undersecretary for Advocacy, Capacity Development, Economic Affairs, and Stakeholder Relations Margaux V. Salcedo noted that the recognized speakers were the backbone of the success of the PFMCP.

Also present at the event spearheaded by the Advocacy, Communications, and Training Service - Capacity Development Division were DBM Undersecretary Joselito R. Basilio, Assistant Secretaries Rolando U. Toledo and Mary Anne Z. Dela Vega, former Undersecretary Luz Cantor, and BARMM Minister of Finance, and Budget and Management Ubaida C. Pacasem.

The PFMCP is an eight track competency program of the DBM that seeks to enhance technical competencies of public financial managers on planning, directing, and controlling financial resources towards effective and efficient delivery of public service. (DBM/PIA-Caraga)
