One of the major key reforms under the Aquino administration is increased transparency and accountability in government.  Relatively, the participation of the Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) and other citizens’ group in attaining good governance was taken into cognizance. 

                DILG Region 3, in partnership with the Local Government Academy (LGA), conducted a Seminar-Workshop entitled, “Vigilance to Volunteerism: A Program Intensifying People’s Engagement in Local Governance (V2V: PIPELOG)”.  The first and second batches of the activity were held on November 15-16, 2012 and November 26-27, 2012, respectively at Oxford Hotel, Clarkfield, Pampanga.
