The Office of the Ombudsman in coordination with the Multi-Sectoral Anti-Corruption Council (MSACC) will lead starting February 23, 2012 the two-day seminar workshop on Administrative Investigation and Rules of Order for the members of the Philippine Association of Professional Regulatory Board (PAPRB).
The members of PAPRB sit as chairmen and members of the different professions of the Professional Regulatory Board.
The workshop to be held at the OMB Function Room is expected to enable professional board members to acquire skills, knowledge of processes, and strategic capabilities for efficient and effective discharge of their authority and investigation functions.
Prosecutor Bienvenida A. Gruta, Office-in-Charge-Director of Center for Integrity and Professional Development (CIPD) pointed out that the proposed skills training is an offshoot of the PAPRB Orientation and Planning Workshop conducted in November 2010. CIPD is under OMB’s Public Assistance and Corruption Prevention Office (PACPO).
Pros. Gruta added that the chairs and members of the professional boards who attended the said workshop made commitments to assist the Office of the Ombudsman in the areas of community coordination, fact-finding, and providing expert advice in the prosecution of cases involving expert’s testimonial evidence.
On their own respective fields, the boards have committed to developing integrity of and exacting accountability on their members many of whom are employed by the government.
Presently, according to Pros. Gruta, “these commitments are the boards’ major immediate concern considering the numerous complaints now pending before them and awaiting resolution for many years.â€
