Region XII recorded a 97.16 percent delivery rate, roughly translating to 411 on-going and completed Local Government Support Fund projects in the Region, based on a recent Memorandum signed by Undersecretary Marivel C. Sacendoncillo, CESO III.

This data covers LGSF projects funded from the years 2016 to 2018, the Memorandum further stated.  Region XII has a total of 423 LGSF projects within these years.

LGSF is the national government’s financial subsidy for Local Government Units (LGUs) to implement their priority plans and projects, as provided in the General Appropriations Act.

This subsidy is provided through various programs such as the Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP) and Konkreto at Ayos na Lansangan ang Daan tungo sa Pangkalahatang Kaunlaran (KALSADA), Assistance to Disadvantaged Municipalities/Assistance to Municipalities (ADM/AM), Bottom-Up Budgeting (BUB), and Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig para sa Lahat (SALINTUBIG).

Meanwhile, at least 375 (88.65%) of the total LGSF projects in the region have been completed based on the recent update of the Subaybayan ang Proyektong Bayan (Subaybayan), DILG’s official monitoring platform for its locally funded projects (LFPS).

From 2016 to 2018, the National Government funded 11, 760 LGSF projects nationwide. To date, NCR is the lone region to have successfully completed its projects.

Overall, DILG-Central Office recorded a national project completion rate of 91 percent and delivery rate of 97 percent, including projects funded in 2019 while an overall compliance rate of 64 percent from all 16 regions in the country was also recorded by the Department.

Compliance rate refers to the conformance of LGUs in encoding and updating project profiles and milestones, including physical and financial accomplishments, of their LGSF projects in the Subaybayan portal.

Region XII ranked second among the regions with the highest compliance rate of 82 percent encoding rate, next to Region I with 83 percent. ###
