LINGAYEN–Actress-politician Alma Moreno, a councilor of Paranaque City and also the National Chairman of the Philippine Councilors League, paid a courtesy call on Gov. Amado T. Espino, Jr. during her visit to Pangasinan on February 4 to disseminate the various programs and projects for legislators.

Moreno was accompanied by Dagupan City Councilor Maybelyn Fernandez, federation president of the PCL, also an actress-turned-politician together, with other PCL officers and former Dagupan City Councilor Michael Fernandez.

Espino expressed his gratitude to the group for bringing to Pangasinan their programs that he considers essential in the career advancement of local legislators.

In an interview, Moreno disclosed that different capability programs for all the councilors in the country are now being implemented.

Among the programs is a free education to all local councilors to complete their baccalaureate and masteral degree courses. It also offers courses in public administration and governance.

“This program will help our undergraduate legislators to finish their courses and even encourage them to pursue masteral degree courses before their term ends,” she said.

 “Marami sa mga local councilors na hindi nakatapos ng pag-aaral kaya sa pamamagitan nito ay matulungan natin sila,” Fernandez added.

The PCL has tied up with the Lyceum Northwestern University in Dagupan City for its free education program for legislators.

Meanwhile, Moreno said she was impressed with the aesthetic beauty and unique designs of the Capitol building and other government buildings in the Capitol complex.

“I’ve been to other provincial capitol pero masasabi ko na mas impressive ang inyong Kapitolyo pati ang mga empleyado ninyo dito ay mababait at accommodating,” Moreno said. 

She was the first female to become a national president of PCL in year 2012 and is seeking re-election in the forthcoming election in March.
