SP Oks MOU with PCW for GAD activities

THE City Council during its regular session presided by City Vice Mayor Jocelyn “Bebot” B. Rodriguez enacted the ordinance authorizing City Mayor Rolando A. Uy to enter and sign the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Philippine Commission on Women (PCW). This covers the conduct of Gender and Development (GAD)-related activities in the city.

Councilor Imee M. Moreno, chair of the City Council committee on women, has moved for the approval of the ordinance. She said that in Mindanao there are only two hubs for local learning, one in Misamis Occidental and one in Davao.

With the Ordinance, she aspires to put a GAD Center in Cagayan de Oro and even in the whole Philippines to help address the needs of women.
