SP passes supplemental, AIP budgets
THE Dagupan Sangguniang Panlungsod (SP) passed a resolution last week approving a supplemental budget for the Annual Investment Program (AIP) worth P102 million and an ordinance approving a Supplemental Budget of P69 million to fund 11 various projects.
Both measures were passed by the SP on motion of Councilor Jeslito Seen, chairman of the committee on finance, budget and appropriations, following resolutions passed last week during a meeting of the Local Development Council (LDC) with Mayor Belen Fernandez as chair.
The mayor then issued Certificates of Urgency on the additional funds, which will be used for new flood mitigation projects, four site development projects, and the procurement of one heavy-duty mobile water pump to drain out flood waters in certain areas.
Lone opposition Councilor Librada Reyna initially asked questions about the purpose of purchasing a water pump worth P6.5 million. Eventually, she joined the 11 majority councilors in voting for approval after Seen explained that the equipment is urgently necessary.
Among the projects to be funded by the P69 million supplemental budget are upgrading of the PVCC pavement and drainage system at both Bacayao Norte main road; construction of a drainage system at Dasmarinas Road Phase II in Bonuan Gueset; construction of PCC pavement and drainage system along Bayanihan Road in Bonuan Gueset; upgrading of PCC pavement and drainage system at Maharlika Looban 2; construction/upgrading of PCC pavement and drainage system at Dona Victoria Zarate Road Phase II in Pantal; upgrading of PCC Pavement and drainage system at Dior Village Phase II in Pantal; PCC pavement and drainage system at PLDT to Sitio Guam in Pantal; upgrading of PCC pavement and drainage system at Zamora Extension; and PCC pavement and upgrading at Sesame Street going to Trauma Hospital.
The site development project is for Juan Siapno Elementary School in Lasip Chico; Elementary School in Lasip Grande; Lasip Grande Multipurpose Hall; and filling, concreting, and drainage at Pogo Grande Elementary School. (Leonardo MIcua)
