President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. has asked the Department of Budget and Management to review the projects and programs that will remain with the national government as some LGUs signified that they are not capable yet for full devolution. | DFernandezINQ
“With our meeting this morning, we were tasked again by the President to sit and study the projects and programs po na iiwan natin sa national government — kasi national government lang po ang may kayang gawin itong mga proyekto na ‘to — at kung ano po ang mga proyekto naman na ide-devolve natin sa ating mga local government units po,” she added.
Pangandaman said that LGUs have different “levels of capacity,” which is why others have difficulty in implementing programs and projects despite sufficient funding. The DBM secretary said they would focus on helping fourth- and fifth-class municipalities for the full devolution. However, if the LGU is still not prepared for full devolution by 2024, the transition period may be extended, Pangandaman said.Subscribe to our daily newsletter
