“LISTAHANAN unit is giving importance to our data users. This workshop is a venue for clarification session of our data users and to strengthen the feedback mechanism on the utilization of data users as well as we will know the difficulties of our data-users in accomplishing their feedback reports. Their feedback reports are very vital since they are the indicator of the success and effectiveness of our project,” Delia S. Sto. Tomas, Deputy Regional Project Manager, LISTAHANAN said.
The workshop seeks to encourage the data-users to be more vigorous in giving feedback reports on the utilization of the database.
