As part of the project, participants will also learn techniques for writing in both English and Filipino, ensuring inclusivity and accessibility in local governance communications. The signing of this MOA marks an important step toward enhancing the capabilities of Tomas Oppus's legislative officials, with the goal of achieving a more responsive and effective local government.
