Del Rosario said the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) has also provided Special Allotment Release Order (SARO) to the task force’s implementing agencies.
The various implementing agencies under the TFBM, he said, can now focus on their timelines and carry out measures to hasten their projects intended for the rehabilitation of Marawi.
“This serves as a huge boost for implementing agencies as they now have the funds needed to complete their respective projects aimed at rebuilding Marawi following the May 2017 siege perpetrated by the Maute terrorist group,” he said in a statement.
Out of the total approved budget, he said, PHP1.91 billion will be given to the National Housing Authority (NHA) for the continuation of the temporary and permanent housing programs in Marawi City. May 16-22, 2020 |
