The Central and Regional Staff of Office of the Project Development Services (OPDS) and Project Development Management Unit (PDMU) conducted a Field Visitation and Validation of the SLRF implementation in the Province of Sarangani on April 22, 2013, Monday.

In a consultation with the Sarangani Provincial Local Government Unit represented by Engr. Elmer Hingco, Assistant Provincial Engineer, information shows that there is a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) and list of SLRF projects for CY 2010 but were funded under 
SLRF 2011. As a resolution, a letter will be sent to the DPWH 12 asking the said agency for a justification to avoid future encumbrances concerning the liquidation of the SLRF. . There was also a suggestion that SLRF should be downloaded directly to the LGU concerned to avoid delays and setbacks. On the matter, it was explicitly explained that existing MOA was forged between the DBM and the DPWH.

Pursuant to Section 7 of the RA 8794 or otherwise known as the Motor Vehicle User’s Charge Law (MVUC), Special Local Roads Fund (SLRF) Program is intended for the rehabilitation of roads in the countryside. It is apportioned to provincial and city governments in accordance with the vehicle population and size of the road network under their jurisdiction and will exclusively be used for the maintenance of local roads, traffic management and road safety devices. In Sarangani Province, fifty percent (50%) of the SLRF 2011 project was initially released as of April 4, 2013. SLRF allocation for the Province is Php2,501,242.00 for CY 2011; Php4,692,882.00for 2012 ; and Php7, 927,211.00 for 2013. Funds will be released after the completion and full liquidation of SLRF CY 2011.
