BORONGAN CITY, Eastern
Samar – Some P15,000,000 fund support has recently been awarded to
the provincial government of Eastern Samar for its various programs
and projects that is so reflected in their 2012 Annual Investment
Program (AIP).
The amount comes from
the Local Support Fund of the Department of Interior and Local
Government (DILG) in “appreciation of the LGU’s sincere adherence to
the values of transparency, sound fiscal management and commitment to
the national program thrusts”.
DILG’s announcement
came in an official communication dated December 27, 2011, that was
addressed to Governor Conrado Nicart, Jr.
Asked for comment,
Gov. Nicart expressed elation at the said recognition as he hopes to
build more farm-to-market roads and other farming facilities in the
province.
A farmer in his own
right, food sufficiency through agricultural production is one of
Nicart’s primordial concerns thus with this recent fund support he is
certain to accomplish his primary mission.
As earlier said by
Sec. Jesse Robredo the DILG policy on transparency is anchored on
Pres. Aquino’s campaign to rid the government of graft and corruption.
