Province earns P7-M Challenge Fund
FOR GOOD FINANCIAL HOUSEKEEPING
LINGAYEN– For complying and going beyond the targets set in good housekeeping, particularly in financial management, the Pangasinan provincial government was rewarded with a P7 million performance challenge fund (PCF).
According to Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) Region 1 Director Julie Daquioag, Pangasinan scored high in planning, budgeting, revenue mobilization, financial management and budget execution, procurement and resource mobilization.
Gov, Amado Espino Jr., who received the PCF for the province last week, said his administration will work even harder for the continuous development of the province through efficiency and transparency in governance, particularly financial housekeeping.
Meanwhile, Provincial Planning and Development Officer Benita Pizzaro said the P7 million has been proposed that it be used for the rehabilitation of provincial bridges.
Pangasinan was among the 28 provinces and 248 LGUs in the country that received the incentive fund.
In 2011, Pangasinan also received the same recognition and the incentive fund was used for the construction of tourism access roads as the one leading to Tambobong Beach in Dasol.
The SGH was launched in 2011 by former DILG secretary Jesse Robredo to recognize local government units which uphold the principles of accountability and transparency in their governance. (Johanne Macob)
