URDANETA CITY–The city government has decided to adopt belt-tightening measures as a result of the diminution of its share from the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) by P17 million this year.

City Administrator Ronald San Juan said the creation of 16 new cities by Congress which was questioned by the League of Cities of the Philippines is the culprit.

It will be recalled that the Supreme Court flip-flopped on the issue and its last determination is to allow the conversion of the 16 towns into cities.

Also affected by diminution of IRA are the cities of Dagupan, San Carlos and Alaminos.

Belt-tightening in the city will include cuts in office supplies, gasoline and number of seminars for employees.
