LINGAYEN – All heavy equipment owned by the provincial government can be tapped by all local government units in the province for their infrastructure projects.

This was reiterated by Provincial Administrator Virgilio Solis who said this policy has long been in effect to support of projects being undertaken by all towns and cities.

But Solis reminded town executives that there are processes to be followed

before any heavy equipment is released to any LGU adding that schedules must be observed.

He made the clarification in reaction to the complaint of Anda Mayor Nestor Pulido that it took a long time for the provincial government to decide whether his request to borrow heavy equipment could be granted.

He said the “first come, first served” policy is being strictly followed by the Provincial Engineering Office, and that there are also the priority projects of the provincial government that need the heavy equipment as well, hence, no equipment could be quickly pulled at out at any time to serve a request.

He said that all requests from municipalities, cities and even barangays are being processed, with the intent of serving every request taking off from the equipment’s latest schedule. – A.P.E
