Provincial Board adopts digitalized DMS for its data
LINGAYEN–The provincial board’s work output will soon be digitalized to make it more accessible to the public.
The adoption of modern technology in legislative work was decided when the provincial board approved Monday a resolution seeking the establishment of a Document Management System that will make all information regarding ordinances and resolutions passed accessible to anyone.
Second district Board Member Von Mark Mendoza, author of the resolution, said the digitalized documentation of important legal measures, written communications and correspondence in the Office of the Sangguniang Panlalawigan is vital in the safe-keeping, restoration and retrieval for immediate and future references.
He cited the inefficiency and unreliability of present manual filing and archiving of documents in the provincial board that almost always result in their being lost or misplaced.
He pointed out the benefits and advantage of digital technology for pre serving and making the data easily available to the legislators and the public.
With the resolution’s passage and with an enabling appropriation to be separately passed by the board for the implementation of this project, the present Sangguniang Panlalawigan shall go down in the history of Pangasinan as the initiator of modern technology, Mendoza said.
Pangasinan will be the third province in the country to digitalize its data, the first being Agusan del Sur and recently Misamis Occidental, he added.–#
