BORONGAN CITY, April 13, 2017–The Sangguniang Panlalawigan has endorsed a request of Governor Conrado Nicart Jr to the Department of Budget and Management, for the release of a P5M financial assistance from the Local Government Support fund.
The money will be used as additional fund for social services.
In the resolution, the SP said that “Eastern Samar belongs to the so-called club 20 poorest provinces in the country, with its constituents mostly fishermen and farm workers constantly struggling from poverty, exacerbated by periodic natural calamities, and national government intervention remains a necessary element in addressing the needs of the people”.
A province, city and municipality can access the fund by writing a request for financial assistance to the DBM secretary, including a list of programs to be implemented and a Sanggunian resolution endorsing the request.
According to Franklin Robedizo, SP secretary, under the proposal submitted by the governor, the project list for funding are medical, transportation, and education assistance and for funeral/burial services.
Medical aid will get the bulk of the budget, with P3M.
The DBM reminds LGUs that the funds must be used only for projects in the list. The LGSF will be released directly to the LGU beneficiary. (Eden Cidro/Este News)
