GENERAL
SANTOS CITY – The Department of the Interior and Local Government
(DILG) has endorsed for funding some PHP488.9 million worth of road projects in
Region 12 (Soccsksargen) under the 2020 Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces
(CMGP).
Josephine
Leysa, DILG-12 director, said Friday a total of 13 road concreting and
upgrading projects have been approved for implementation in the region based on
a report from the agency’s Office of Project Development Services (OPDS).
Leysa
said the road projects, which were already transmitted to the Department of
Budget and Management (DBM) for the release of the funds, have a combined
length of 29.365 km.
“Four
projects each will be implemented in the provinces of South Cotabato and Sultan
Kudarat, three in Sarangani, and two in North Cotabato,” she said in a report.
Leysa
said the 13 projects were endorsed by the agency after the proponent provinces
“satisfactorily complied” with the requirements set in the special provisions
of the 2020 General Appropriations Act.
She
said the CMGP funding was included in the Local Government Support Fund of the
DILG.
Based
on a letter signed by DILG-OPDS Director Rolyn Zambales, Soccsksargen was the
first region that has complied with the program requirements, Leysa said.
The
approved projects in South Cotabato are the upgrading of the junction national
highway-San Vicente-Malaya-Lamkot road in Banga town; the
Tampakan-Maltana-Cebuano and Tampakan-Sta. Cruz-Topland boundary roads in

The
three road projects in Sarangani are the concreting of the national highway
junction Malbang-Boundary Tboli provincial road phase II in Maasim; the
