Camarines Sur SP Session Strictly Paperless Today

Sanggunian Panlalawigan, Cadlan, Pili, Cam. Sur (May 2, 2011) – Today marks the first time the provincial board of Camarines Sur go paperless in its legislative sessions.

The provincial vice governor and the 13 board members shall be provided laptop computers that are pre-loaded with digital documents, including agenda, journal and minutes that they will need during deliberations.

To keep the legislators at ease in this trial session, no guest is invited nor mission-critical issue discussed.

Many curious observers, however, are expected to come to see for themselves how Camarines Sur legislators conduct a paperless session.

The problem, according to Board Member Dominggo Briones of the League of Barangays, is that many of them are not yet computer proficient.

Who are they? If you like to know, come and watch the session this afternoon.

According to the Provincial Secretary, lawyer Joselito Figuracion, this historic session begins at exactly 3PM.

It is not known as yet whether all sessions of the Sanggunian Panlalawigan of Camarines Sur shall be paperless henceforth.
