GENERAL SANTOS CITY, August 26 (PIA)--- Local executives in Sarangani have resolved to share a specific percentage as their counterparts to ensure success of projects implementation in the province. | |||
The scheme is believed to sustain the development and implementation of projects benefiting the people and helping them improve their quality of life. | |||
Isagani Palma, municipal information officer of Malungon told PIA General Santos City that the officials led by Sarangani Congressman Manny Pacquiao will release Php52-M fund allocation for socio-economic projects in the province by next year. | |||
According to him, the plan was threshed out in a meeting among Pacquiao, Governor Migs Dominguez, and the League of Mayors in the Philippines (LMP)-Sarangani Chapter, where the amount of fund to be released was unanimously agreed including the new scheme for funding projects under the Priority Development Assistance Fund (PDAF). | |||
Pacquiao through the congressional office will share under his PDAF Php40-M or 70 percent of the total agreed fund while Php8-M or 20 percent will come from the provincial government and the remaining Php4-M or 10 percent will be shouldered by the municipalities. | |||
He also committed the release of another Php7-M to sustain the health services in Sarangani. | |||
But Pacquiao said this will only be realized if each municipal government will pledge to undertake a “weekly medical outreach” to serve indigents living in distant barangays. | |||
Sarangani has seven municipalities. | |||
Meanwhile, Malungon Mayor Reynaldo Constatino, LMP Sarangani Chapter president, said the PDAF’s new scheme has undergone consensus among mayors after Dominguez and Pacquiao extended a unifying hands to each other early this year. | |||
Palma said “PDAF serves as source of fund by small-scale but significant projects which cannot be included in large-scale projects that are being funded by the national-led agencies.” (CTA/PIA General Santos City) | |||
