On global warming, the topic focused on what the LGU’s can do to mitigate, adapt and help in lowering the impact of global warming in their respective communities. As the first responders to local disasters LGU and their GSO should be well prepared for the eventuality. On archiving, there is a common agreement that the keeping of records in a systematic way, accessible and secure way. The answer to this will be in the form of digital archiving. Digital archiving makes data easily accessible to users, the community will be served better and the keeping of records will be more systematic and less costly than the traditional filing method. LGU’s can convert their old files into digital format using scanners available with Develop multifunctional copiers. During the event, Copylandia Office Systems Corporation highlighted the machines that would help in their document management. From Develop color and black-and-white copiers to Riso high speed duplicators and Konica Minolta laser printers, Copylandia demonstrated the flexibility of these systems by printing newsletters and flyers on the spot. The Develop brand of machines featured during the event is multifunctional. All machines are capable of scanning and archiving aside from being a copier and a printer. To make the event more enjoyable, Copylandia raffled off 3 units of Konica Minolta PP1400W laser printers. The printers were won by three lucky participants from the LGU's of Pasig City, lapu Lapu City and from Dinagat Islands. Indeed the event was memorable and Copylandia's participation made the event more exciting aside from being an informative one also. Copylandia's commitment to PAGSO's and its ideals will go a long way as this partnership will only go stronger in the coming years. Copylandia will always be there to bring new technologies to help LGUs serve their constituents better.
