Through this radio platform of information dissemination Sinarimbo, MILG will provide series of modular lectures on vital topics on local governance such as local legislation, local planning and budgeting, and barangay governance, among others.
“This is to continue to capacitate our LGUs despite the restriction on face to face workshops as a result of the pandemic,” he said then.
"Sindaw Bangsamoro" will feature performing and excellent local chief executives or good practices of LGUs in the Bangsamoro so that other LGUS may emulate them.
