P6-M PAMANA projects to be implemented in Baliguian town

From the Philippine Information Agency (Mar 28): P6-M PAMANA projects to be implemented in Baliguian town

Two separate projects are slated to be implemented in Baliguian, Zamboanga del Norte under the Department of Interior and Local Government-Payapa at Masaganang Pamayanan (DILG-PAMANA) Fund 2015.

This was learned during the Regional Peace and Order Council (RPOC)-9 meeting held at the Top Plaza Hotel here recently.

These two projects are the construction of a P3 million-hanging bridge at Sitio Luktuson, Barangay Nonoyan, and the construction of Level II Water System at Sitio Tumbaga in the same barangay with another P3 million allocation.

PAMANA projects are intended to reduce poverty through community infrastructure and focused delivery of social services in conflict-affected areas.

Both projects got the approval of the council and that the funds may now be downloaded from DILG-9 to the local government unit of Baliguian for the purpose.

In the same meeting, the police and military officials have also vowed to protect the people against all forms of lawlessness in the region.

In his report, Capt. Jason Mararac of the 101st Infantry Brigade, Philippine Army based in Del Pilar, Piñan, Zamboanga del Norte said that some politicians might “utilize the private armed groups during the 2016 elections, and criminalities may rise as election draws near.”

But Col. Jesus Mananquil, 101st Brigade commanding officer, was quick to say that both the police and military are ready for any eventuality.

Zamboaga del Norte Governor Roberto Y. Uy presided over the RPOC-9 meeting with member-agencies like the Department of Trade and Industry, Department of Education, Department of Agriculture, Department of Interior and Local Government, Department of Justice, National Bureau of Investigation, Department of Social Welfare and Development, Philippine National Police, Philippine Army, Philippine Information Agency, National Commission on Indigenous Peoples, provincial governments of Zamboanga del Norte, Zamboanga del Sur and Zamboanga Sibugay, private sector representatives and others in attendance.
