APOAMF, MALAYAPA at SAKADA have each passed their requirements to be Civil Society Organization (CSO)-accredited in Pasig City last August 16, 2022.
Being CSO-accredited means that these groups will be able to be special body representatives of Pasig City. This is in accordance with Section 108 of the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160).
This is also in accordance with the recently-released Department of the Interior and Local Government-issued Memorandum Circular No. 2022-83 about the accreditation process and choosing representatives for Local Special Bodies.
