The discussion of the FY 2019 LGSF-FA and facilitation of the open forum was made by OIC-Chief Budget and Management Specialist Juvy A. Lobedica.
The participants were thankful of the activity as they gained important information of some of the government’s initiatives. They emphatically relayed, however, during the open forum, the top most priority need of their barangays which are Local Concrete Roads or Farm to Market Roads as their areas are situated to as much as 28 kilometers from the Municipal’s poblacion. Their miserable road condition is a major factor that affects the depressing social and economic condition of their barangays.
Even a single lane road would be a very much welcome development to their area as it will ease or alleviate their difficulty in transporting their farm produce to the market, provide access to government’s health and other social services and minimize road accidents.
In her closing statement, Assistant Regional Director Aleli N. Hernandez acknowledged the presence of the LGU officials, especially those from far-flung areas, which shows the LGU’s interest in the programs of the government. Also, she appreciated the concerns and questions being raised by the LGU officials. She reiterated the willingness of the government, through DBM and its staff, to provide technical assistance for the benefit of the LGUs. (DBM-8/PIA-8)
