TAWI-TAWI Governor Sadikul Sahali announced they are implementing socio-economic projects aimed to uplift the living conditions of the residents in the province. | |||
Sahali said the funding for the projects will come from the P8.5 billion stimulus fund programmed by President Benigno Simeon Aquino III to hasten development in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm). | |||
Sahali said Tawi-Tawi, which is one of the provinces in Armm, is receiving P1-billion share from the total stimulus fund given to the region. | |||
Aside from Tawi-Tawi, the provinces of Basilan, Lanao del Sur, Maguindanao, Sulu and Marawi City, are included. | |||
Sahali said among the projects they would implement include construction of additional day care centers and core shelters, supplemental feedings, cash-for-work programs and other infrastructure projects like farm-to-market roads and irrigation systems. | |||
The implementation of development programs would also enable the Provincial Government to provide additional employment opportunities, Sahali added. | |||
