NEDA XII OIC-RD
APPEARS ON BANTALAKAYAN
February 07, 2009
 NEDA XII OIC-Regional Director Teresita Socorro
C. Ramos was one of the guests at the Bantalakayan
Program on 07 February 2009 and aired live over
radio station DXMS-AM in Cotabato City.
The Bantalakayan Program is a weekly forum regularly
hosted by Rev. Fr. Eliseo R. Mercado, Jr., OMI,
aired every Saturday between 6 to 7 in the morning.
It tackles important issues on the Mindanao peace
process, promotion of good governance,
socio-economic development of Region XII and the
Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (ARMM).
The February 7th episode was focused on “Business
Prospects of Cotabato City / Region XII amidst the
Global Financial Crisis.” Other guests were from the
business sector and the NGO / private sector.
OIC-RD Ramos welcomed NEDA’s participation in the
Bantalakayan as this was an opportunity not only to
inform the public about the possible impact of the
financial crisis; but most importantly, to learn
first hand how the business sector is coping and
what measures are being taken to mitigate the
effects of the global meltdown. For the benefit of
the listening public, OIC-RD Ramos explained in
layman’s term the Global Financial Crisis and how
this would affect the common people. She also talked
about government’s action and briefly discussed the
Economic Resiliency Plan.
Due to time constraint, OIC-RD Ramos requested the
organizers to again invite NEDA inorder to
comprehensively discuss the Economic Resiliency Plan
which is being advocated for implementation and
support by NEDA Director-General, Secretary Ralph G.
Recto.
DXMS-AM Radio for Peace is one of the media outfits
