Once again, Southern Luzon State University (SLSU) was recognized as the first runner-up under the Freedom of Information (FOI)-SUC Category Awards, held during the celebration of the 8th year of the FOI Program implementation in the Philippines on November 25.
President Frederick T. Villa; University Board Secretary, Ms. Aurora L. Sumague; Records Officer, Ms. Eliza P. Beltran; and Executive Assistant, Mr. Jay Mel Nicomedez, received the award at the Hilton Manila Hotel, 1 Newport Blvd., Pasay City.
Last year, SLSU also received the same award in the FOI Champion Category for the SUC. Meanwhile, Ms. Sumague was also hailed as the Best FOI Officer during the event.
FOI Awards is an annual event that brings FOI officers and advocates from government agencies in the Executive Branch and institutions, individuals, and civil society organizations to acknowledge the indispensable role of multi-sector implementers in the institutions of the FOI program in the country.
