QUEZON CITY (PIA) -- “Pagsisikapan ko na maibigay sainyo ang nararapat na benepisyo pero dapat sukliaan natin ito ng serbisyo sa taumbayan,” PIA Director-General Torres said.

Philippine Information Agency (PIA) Director-General Jose A. Torres Jr. onTuesday, June 13, during the agency’s Flag Raising Ceremony in the Central Office in Quezon City urges his co-public servants to rightfully serve the Filipino people.

He shares his goals to provide for the benefits and welfare of the employees. In return, he enjoins everyone to respond to the call of duty by informing the public about government projects and programs.

“Pagsisikapan nating gawan ng paraan ang mga benepisyo para sa mga emplayado ng ahensya. Gagawan natin ng paraan na ang welfare ng mga tao na nagtatrabaho sa PIA ay mapangalagaan at maisulong. Subalit hinihingi ko rin po sa lahat ang kooperasyon na patunayan natin na karapatdapat tayo na magsilbi,” DG Torres said.

 “Yung responsibilidad natin sa panawagan ng pamahalaan na pagsilbihan ang taumbayan lalong lalo na ang PIA ay nasa forefront ng pagsisilbi sa grassroots, sa masang Pilipino, na maipaabot ang programa ng pamahalaan doon sa kasuluk-sulukan ng ating bansa, ” he added.

Meanwhile, the Philippine Information Agency Employees Association (PIAEA) announces upcoming programs for its members which were recently discussed with the PIA Chief. One of which is the re-opening of the PIA Canteen and Gym to generate revenues. Moreover, the member loan program has also been made available to members with financial needs.

PIA serves as the country's premier development communication agency, taking pride in disseminating information about government programs, projects, and services to the Filipino people.

It’s the widest government information network in the country that can reach the grassroots—spanning 16 regional offices and 78 provincial information centers. (KSAA – PIA CPSD)
