Engr. Gilbert L. Mercado, DILG-OPDS Technical Group Head, lauded Region XII for its accomplishments under the CMGP program.
“Isa sa pinaka good performer ang Region XII. Sa inyo kami walang masyadong problema, manageable. Sana maipagpatuloy natin ang ating ginagawa. Ituloy natin. Sana matanggap ng LGU ang mga magandang binigbigay namin sa kanila. Thank you sa inyong cooperation,” he said.
From 2016 to 2019, Region XII has a total of 63 CMGP funded projects worth Php 2.919 billion pesos including the provincial government shares in 2016, DILG XII-PDMU said.
Of the 63 CMGP funded projects, 24 of these are located in South Cotabato Province, 12 in Sarangani Province, 18 in Sultan Kudarat Province, and nine in the Province of Cotabato.
Based on records, all CMGP projects funded from 2016 to 2018 and two projects funded under 2019 have been successfully completed, PDMU said. At least 198.762 kilometers of provincial roads in the Region have been paved through CMGP, the Unit added.
DILG XII Regional Director Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III commended the provinces and the PDMU for their accomplishments under CMGP.
“We are implementing very well because of our LGUs. And I would also like commend our PDMU people for that,” she said.
CMGP, a successor of the national government’s KALSADA Program, is a partnership program between DILG and Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to address the poor state of provincial roads across the country and improve LGUs' competency in Local Road Management (LRM) and Public Financial Management (PFM).
