Tanco nominated to chair RDC 6
Members of the government sector have elected Governors Victor Tanco of Capiz and Felipe Hilan Nava of Guimaras as nominees to the chair and co-chair positions of the Regional Development Council 6, the highest policy-making body in Western Visayas.
The government sector is composed of elective officials and heads of offices of various regional line agencies.
Their nomination will be submitted to President Benigno Simeon Aquino III together with the nominees from the private sector.
Aquino will choose from among the nominees the next chair and co-chair of RDC 6.
Director Ro-Ann Bacal of the National Economic and Development Authority 6, secretariat and vice chair of RDC 6, said they are still waiting for the nominees from the private sector.
She said while private sector organizations have already chosen their permanent private sector representatives (PSRs) to the council, they still have to choose geographical PSRs from each province.
Such is a new feature of the RDC election because before it was “the government and private sectors that elect together” the representatives.*PNA
