News – 2024 NEDA
Annual Report is out now, July 2025 (depdev.gov.ph). The Editor In
Chief (TEIC) in me says that’s five (5) months late! Digitally, NEDA &
I could have desktop published that report mid-January 2025 yet. To say is to believe!
In these times,
where the railroad is digital, I don’t see any excuses why the big, huge, giant
NEDA should be 5 months late (June 2025) in coming out with its annual
report (Jan-Dec 2024)! I Frank A Hilario,
as The Editor In Chief (TEIC) in many
a public and private publications in the last 25 years, here and abroad,
notably starting with the nternational
Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) when Filipino
William Dar was the Director General (DG), 2000-2015, for
which/whom I wrote and desktop-published 8 books of ICRISAT accomplishments from
2005 when, 7 books of which were printed by ICRISAT (except the would-be 8th
book, 2010, when Mr Dar had to retire because of bureaucratic age). I’m
pointing this out to you to show that I am The
Editor In Chief (TEIC) you have been looking for – the kind of TEIC that
NEDA should have been looking for!
What about your
office/group?
I suppose it’s not
easy being The (Digital) Editor In Chief,
but it is to me because I love it! The doing of it, I mean. (No, ICRISAT did
not make me rich in the pocket but it did in the experience. Thanks, ICRISAT!)
So! If NEDA or any
other PH government department invites me to demonstrate everything that I am
saying here, you’re welcome! No, I don’t have to be physically present in the office
premises – digital is all we need. I just have to have a few of those component
reports to edit and convert into pdf for printing into an annual report. You
will get the drafts for the would-be book as they come along.
You have the right
to say, “How dare you insinuate that we in government offices cannot do what
you in the private sector can in terms of writing for & editing
publications, not the least the annual rerpot!?”
In case you are in
doubt, next month I will be 85 years old. Ah, ladies and gentlemen, if you want
to try me, I can do it gratis et amore! Please email me a draft report of your
office, with image/s to put it, and within the week, I will be done – for the 3
reports, I will have sample pages for you to print, and I will not charge you
anything!
I repeat: “No
charge.”
How come I am that
bold in stating the above. Because I love being TEIC – the pleasure is mine,
the treasure is yours!
So, NEDA (whatever
you are called now), as The Editor In
Chief, I am offering you an editing job you cannot find anywhere else: 1
month for a completely new NEDA 2024 annual report!@517
