At least 77 subprojects have been proposed by 25 insurgency-cleared villages in Negros Occidental for implementation under the Barangay Development Program (BDP) of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC).
As of Thursday, data from the Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-Negros Occidental showed that these subprojects were being prepared after the list was submitted to the DILG-Western Visayas on March 25, and following the downloading of funds to the implementing local government units (LGUs) on April 19.
Gov. Eugenio Jose Lacson said the funds intended for villages situated in the municipalities have been released to the provincial government while the allocations for those located in component cities were downloaded directly to the city governments.
“There are processes that they (municipalities) have to go through. I reminded them to get in touch with (the provincial engineer) who will help them with the program of works,” he added.
Each of the 25 insurgency-cleared villages in Negros Occidental and another one in Bacolod City have been allocated a P20 million assistance under the BDP, a hallmark program of the NTF-ELCAC with the end goal of bringing development to former conflict-prone communities.
The assistance will include a one-kilometer farm-to-market road worth P12 million; classrooms, P3 million; water and sanitation systems, P2 million; health station, P1.5 million; and livelihood projects, P1.5 million.
In Negros Occidental, the 25 recipient villages, which were formerly under the influence of the Communist Party of the Philippines-New People’s Army (CPP-NPA), are situated in seven LGUs.
These include Escalante City, with 14 barangays; San Carlos City, five; Victorias City, two; Himamaylan City, Cadiz City, E.B. Magalona, and Manapla, one each. (PNA)
