Sapian conducts Katarungang Pambarangay seminar
SAPIAN, Capiz – Around 100 members of the Lupon ng Tagapamayapa representing 10 barangays of this town under the administration of Mayor Arturo “Turic” Orosco, Sr., have undergone a Katarungang Pambarangay seminar on April 29 - 30 here.
Mr. Arnz Caberte, executive assistant, speaking in behalf of the mayor said that the seminar for the Lupon ng Tagapamayapa is the second time around in Sapian. He said that the first one was during the time of Fiscal Fernandez where he was still also a member of the Lupon.
According to him, cases in the courts are already congested and they should be settled amicably by both parties as win-win solution.
“See to it that all cases must be settled in barangay level so that it will no longer reach the courts since it is expensive,” Caberte said.
Participants led by Liga ng Mga Barangay President Arturo Baldisimo stayed two days at Gugma Hall beside the municipal hall of Sapian.
In Day 1, April 29: Local Government Operation Officer (LGOO) V Beinvenido Acevedo, Jr. spoke on opening preliminaries, introduction of pax, expectation setting and overview of the activity. In the afternoon, LGOO V Vito Navarra lectured on Legal/Philosophical Aspects and Organizational Aspect, LGOO V Charmaine Villareal for GAD and Atty. Rochelle Gregorio also lectured for Judicial Aspects/Procedural Aspects/RA 9262.
In Day 2, April 30. Mrs. Lorena Pinalba will impart RA7610 while Acevedo will shed light on the administrative aspects as the end of the seminar.
