MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, Aug. 24 (PIA) --- The provincial government of Lanao del Sur and the 39 municipal local government units (MLGUs) in the province inked a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) for the implementation of P2-million worth of infrastructure projects in each of the municipality.
The MoA was signed on August 23 by Governor Mamintal “Bombit” Alonto Adiong, Jr. and 11 municipal mayors at the Provincial Capitol Conference Room, this city.
According to Adiong, the project was given based on the needs of the receiving municipality. The project cost will come from the internal revenue allotment of the province, specifically in the 20 percent development fund.
“We received these in infra project requests from June to this month and they range from a municipal complex road network, expansion of a rural health unit, municipal parameter fencing, road repairs and rehabilitation, farm to market roads, barangay roads, multi-purpose and open gymnasiums, box culvert with access road, municipal guest houses, municipal hall buildings, multi-purpose covered courts, and a public badminton building,” Adiong said.
Mayors who were not able to attend the ceremony can still go to the Trust Fund Unit inside the Executive Building of the Lanao del Sur Provincial Capitol Complex to comply with all the necessary requirements so that the checks can be released to their municipal treasurers.
Engr. Dimasira Macabando, Jr., head of the Trust Fund Unit, said the provincial government will monitor the implementation of the projects.
“Each project has a 40-day maximum completion date upon the submission of all the requirements by each MLGU and the release of the funds to them,” Macabando clarified.
He also said the provincial government will still continue the project once the receiving municipality fails to finish it and submits all the required liquidation documents bearing the expenses incurred.
Adiong said he has complete faith that the municipal mayors will abide with what they have agreed into.
I m looking forward to see all these projects fully implemented within the year so that municipal constituents can immediately benefit from the project as the requests really came from them via their leaders, he added. (PIA Lanao del Sur / APB/PIA-10)
