The Provincial Development Council (PDC) has approved P46-million worth of infrastructure projects for the different barangays in Negros Oriental.
Governor Roel Degamo said the projects are now endorsed to the Provincial Board to approve the budget allocation.
He said there is a total of 75 infrastructure projects that include farm-to-market roads, concreting and rehabilitation of roads, construction of multi-purpose buildings, drainage systems and spillways.
The governor said these projects were endorsed by the barangays captains as their priority projects in a meeting with them recently.
He is hoping the Provincial Board will approve the budget allocation of the said projects for immediate implementation. He is also anticipating that the barangay projects will start before the end of the second quarter of this year.
Governor Degamo said the drainage systems, spillways and road concreting projects should be implemented immediately once the budget is approved in order to take advantage of the good weather.
He is afraid that the rainy season will affect the construction of these projects, the budget of which is taken from the 20 percent of the surplus of the province. (PNA)
