CEBU, Philippines - The Cebu provincial government will release additional financial assistance to the different barangays in Mandaue City, this time close to half million pesos.
Sixth district Provincial Board Member Arliegh Sitoy said Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III approved the release of P300,000 while Vice Governor Agnes Magpale pledged an amount of P150,000.
Last week, PB member Sitoy turned over the check amounting to P3.3 million to the Association of Barangay Councils of Mandaue City headed by President Ernie Manatad. The amount will be used for the purchase of vehicles for the barangays.
Manatad said they have scheduled big activities next month for all barangay captains and they asked financial assistance from Governor Davide, Magpale and Sitoy.
Manatad said both Davide and Magpale approved their request through PB Member Sitoy.
Sitoy said he will also allocate funds to support the needs of the barangay captains in Mandaue City.
Sitoy said the provincial government will continue their support to the city of Mandaue under the leadership of Mayor Jonas Cortes.
Cortes expressed his thanks to Davide, Magple and Sitoy for their continuing support to the programs of the city government.
