First in the nation.

Project SPLIT National Project Director Homer P. Tobias, CESO III and Deputy Project Director Atty. Marjorie Ayson lead a meeting with ESS documentors of Project SPLIT field validation teams of four Project Management Offices (PMOs) of the four provinces in Ilocos Region. The gathering is the first day of the field testing of android application Kobo Tool Box, which can collect ESS-related information real-time, making the processing of ESS documents for Project SPLIT faster and more efficient. The dry run of said software amongst Region I PMOs is the first in the Philippines.

Director Homer further encourages ESS documentors and everyone on deck Project SPLIT to continue their meticulous work in accomplishing monitoring and evaluation (M&E forms) for the parcelization program.

"These are the forms that will tell the story kung anong nangyari sa ating collective CLOAs. Gusto nating malaman kung anong nangyari nung field validation," he said. (zarena ann amado) ###
