Appearing before Monday’s regular session of the city council, Engr. Rene Zarate, assistant district engineer of the Department of Public works and Highways – Baguio City District Engineering Office (DPWH-BCDEO), said the proposed budget was included in the agency’s 2017 in order to fully complete the uncompleted concreting works within the rehabilitated drain tunnel to prevent the unnecessary obstruction in the smooth flow of water from the inlet up to the Asin River.
Sa halip na itaguyod ang P2 billion na budget para sa susunod na taon, sinabi ni konsehal Elmer Datuin, chairman ng Council Committee on Appropriations and Finance, nais nilang magkaroon ng P50 million hanggang P75 million na dagdag sa iminungkahing budget ng lungsod para sa susunod na taon upang mabigayan ng pondo ang mga nakatalang mahahalagang tungkulin na isinumite ng mga miyembro ng konseho sa mga mambabatas at local finance committee para masuri.
