In just two weeks since its announcement to the public on March 10, the PhilCeCNet online community has now reached the one hundred-member mark.

The PhilCeCNet online community, which makes use of the Ning platform, replaced the old Fireboard forum of the Philippine Community eCenter portal. It complements the PhilCeC portal in that it now incorporates such interactive features as groups, forums and member profiles, enabling CeC implementers and stakeholders nationwide to get to know one another, exchange ideas on common issues and interests, and stay connected.

Members can also make use of the RSVP functionality for important events such as the upcoming 5th Knowledge Exchange Conference (KEC) for CeCs. In anticipation of the latter, a discussion was opened to provide members with the opportunity to have their say and make suggestions on the conference sessions, resource persons as well as other logistical matters.

Tanauan, Leyte  -- True to its being known as a people responsive local governance, the Local Government of Tanauan has just acquired a Greater Modular Access (GMA) Jobs Center Kiosk where its job seekers could find available local and overseas jobs and where they could apply right there and then.

Mayor Roque A. Tiu disclosed that the GMA Jobs Center Kiosk arrived over the weekend and will be installed at the lobby of the Municipal Hall for the job seekers’ use. This will mean that the job seekers in the municipality need not go to Tacloban, Manila or Cebu to find a job. They can just to the Tanauan Municipal Hall where the GMA Job Center Kiosk is located and register right there.

Mayor Tiu said that when he learned about the GMA Kiosk at the Department of Labor and Employment Region 8 Office, he immediately knew that this will be of great help to his constituents, many of whom are looking for a job.
