Bohol is P52 million richer, courtesy of Senator Juan Miguel "Migz" Zubiri.
The chair of the Senate Committee on Cooperatives yesterday said the first tranche of his commitment will be released by November or December.
Zubiri keynoted the Grand Cooperative Gathering organized by Provincial Board member Josephine Socorro Jumamoy at the Bohol Cultural Center in Tagbilaran City attended by at least 1,292 members of different cooperatives across the province.
Jumamoy chairs the Provincial Cooperative Development Council (PCDC) as well as the Sangguniang Panlalawigan (SP) Committee on Cooperatives.
The senator said the amount will cover projects at P1 million each for the 47 towns. He is giving another P5 million for the cooperatives that he will course through Gov. Erico Aumentado, Vice Gov. Julius Caesar Herrera and Jumamoy.
The towns can use the amount for school- or multi-purpose buildings while the PCDC will screen which projects will be funded out of the P5 million.
