              Two student representatives from Capiz State University-Burias Campus participated in a two-day FOI Student Ambassadors Camp, which aims to develop a committed partnership with State Universities and Colleges (SUCs), and build a strong stakeholder relationship with students, last November 9–10, 2021 via Zoom.

            James Villasis, SSC President, and Arnold Dela Rosa Jr., CAPSUNIAN Echo Associate Editor, took part in the said event spearheaded by the Freedom of Information— Project Management Office (FOI-PMO) under the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), as part of its information, education, and communications campaign.

            "People should really exercise their freedom of information to monitor the performance of our government and to seek relevant data from sources that are reliable. We should be participative and investigative to avoid confusion and fake news, "said Villasis.

Highly calibrated resource speakers in the person of Atty. Joseph Llames, Attorney IV, Freedom of Information – ­­Project Management Office, Deniel Angelou G. Echevarria, Freedom of Information – Project Management Office Training Specialist III, and Lex Tanganco, Eskwelabs Data Analytics Programs Lead, took the lead in making the camp insightful.

           "It was honestly my first time participating in such a technical conversation, since it concerned certain legal rules. Nonetheless, the webinar was certainly valuable, and it taught me how to properly use my freedom of information, "Dela Rosa shared.     Villasis and  

         Dela Rosa were two of the participants from various state universities in the Visayas and Mindanao legs who were capacitated and trained by the FOI-PMO to become Student Ambassador and Deputy Student Ambassador, respectively, on effective dissemination and implementation of the program on their campus.
