Capitol website wins award


THE website of the Cebu Provincial Government has been named the Best Website under the local government unit (LGU) e-governance category during the Fifth Website Awards of the Cebu Chamber of Commerce and Industry.

The award was given last Friday during the ICT Cebu International Conference.

The website, www.cebu. gov.ph, has undergone an extensive redesigning when Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia assumed as governor after criticisms that the website looked dull and was not updated.

Capitol consultant Pablo John Garcia said they took the criticisms as a challenge. They had to revamp the personnel of the IT department and brought in new people of the Provincial Information Office. Their specific challenge was to improve the website.

Webmaster Richard Ramos takes care of the website’s lay-out and design while the Provincial Information Office headed by Januar Yap handles the content.

The website is constantly updated and Pablo John said the IT people review the pages daily and new and relevant information is immediately put in. (Sun.Star Cebu)
