Lacson to Submit Cebu’s Rehab Budget to PNoy- Davide

Five months after the super typhoon, the Presidential Assistant for Rehabilitation and Recovery (PARR) head Panfilo Lacson is set to submit the budget for rehabilitation to President Aquino, Cebu Governor Hilario Davide III said on Monday.

“Naka-submit naman ta sa atong provincial rehab plan. He (Lacson) will submit it to the president. Di na kuno siya mopaabot sa ubang probinsya. Then we can expect nga ma-process na,” said Davide.

The province has already submitted a P10-billion budget for the rehab works of the 15 towns affected by Yolanda.

Davide said if the amount will be released it will come in tranches. Although there is a delay, Davide said the national government is still helping these 15 local government units through its various agencies like the Department of Social Welfare and Development through its cash for work.

The governor also acknowledged the help of various non-government organizations which have been extending help to these areas.
