Cancelled Seminar/Workshop

Tweet

I was about to attend a seminar conducted by one of the committees from the local government. The seminar is about solid waste management. The invitation stated that it would start at 7 in the morning and that’s very early for me because I’m used to usual official time which is 8. I arrived at the venue at exactly seven and there are already several participants waiting outside. I asked one participant and she said that no one from the organizing committee has arrived yet. That’s to my surprise because there should be people in charge already there to cater the attendees. I decided to call the number indicated in the invitation letter to inquire but nobody answers. Even the venue never knows that there is such activity to be conducted there today. This is crazy. For how many times that I am attending a seminar or orientation, this is the first time where no sign of activity/notice posted at the venue and the worst is no one you can ask from the organizing committee. This is a big joke and they are wasting our time. It was learnt afterward when someone got the chance to contact the staff of the undersigned councilor that the program was not really from their office but from an inter-agency coordinating with them but can’t give an answer if push thru so we were told to go home. What an alibi? It’s their office sending the invitations and now they are washing their hands on the responsibility. Photo is one of the views outside the suppose venue restaurant.
