CEBU, Philippines - The Carcar City government is seeking the support of the Cebuanos after their entry for advocacy video and photo was chosen as a candidate for the third Community-Based Monitoring System (CBMS) by a national award-giving body.

"We need everyone's support for the online voting," said Carcar City information officer Candice Acuña.

Acuña said the city government was one of the first cities in Cebu to adopt CBMS.

The CBMS is a collaboration by the Bureau of Local Government Finance (BLGF) and the Department of Interior and Local Government with the Carcar City aimed at institutionalizing a community-based monitoring system to generate poverty baseline data for poverty diagnosis and planning and target monitoring.

In order to vote online, one must ask to join the Facebook account of CBMS International Network Group, then like the entries of LGU Carcar City for Best CBMS Advocacy Video and Best CBMS Photo.

The online voting period is from February 25 until March 25 at 10 p.m.

There are three entries for the Best CBMS Advocacy videos by LGUs and 22 entries for the Best CBMS Advocacy Photos.

CBMS is one of the tools developed in the early 1990s to provide policymakers and program implementers with a good information base for tracking the impact of macroeconomic reforms and various policy shocks.

It is an organized way of collecting information at the local level for use of local government units, national government agencies, non-government organizations, civil society and development partner agencies for planning, program implementation and monitoring. (FREEMAN)
