The forum on budget reform

I would like to extend my appreciation and thanks to all the organizers of the forum with the theme entitled:

"The Academe, Community and Congress Working Together Towards Effective Budget Management in the Philippines"

held at Eulogio 'Amang' Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology (EARIST) Conference Room, Nagtahan, Sampaloc, Manila.

Congressman Teofisto "TG" Guingona, the Deputy Minority Leader of the House of Representatives and Prof. Leonor Briones, a UP NCPAG professor and the former National Treasurer of the Philippines were the guest speakers in the said forum.

The forum is indeed an eye opener towards the budgetary problems in the government. Also, it is very informative about the budget reforms that needs to be done to address the issue.
