AUTHORIZING THE CONDUCT OF FOCUS GROUP DISCUSSION ON THE JUDICIAL REFORM PROGRAM IN THE HALL OF JUSTICE OF CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY AND PARTICIPATION OF SELECTED COURT PERSONNEL THEREIN

As part of the information dissemination campaign for the Action Program for Judicial Reform (APJR) and the Judicial Reform Support Project under the World Bank, the Program Management Office (PMO) has scheduled Focus Group Discussions (FGDs) in the six (6) proposed pilot sites located in Angeles City, Imus-Cavite, Lapulapu City-Cebu, Bacolod City, Davao City and Cagayan de Oro City.
