TABUK CITY, Kalinga – 1.4M funds released for the 2020 Socio-Civic projects during Christmas Season for all 43 Barangays of Tabuk City Allocation for Barangays Amlao, Bulanao Norte, Balawag, and Appas was given today.
Mayor Darwin C. Estrañero explained that the budget which was supposed to fund projects for all barangays of the City was not sufficient hence the same will be distributed equally to the barangay officials instead.
He advised the barangay officials present to address their concerns regarding different projects they wish to propose at the City Engineering Office.
The City Treasury said that barangay treasurers and secretaries were not included in the budget in 2019 but the same was adjusted for 2020, giving them the same amount as that of the others. “Mayat ta uray kas-kasanu ket makatulong met daytuy,” Kag. Ruiz Apil of Appas told the CIO.
The distribution will continue until all barangay officials including treasurers and secretaries have received their allocations. By Rio Bassong
