ROXAS City – Four barangays of Cuartero, Capiz will be getting P20 million each from the Support Barangay Development Program of the National Task Force to End Local Communist Armed Conflict (NTF-ELCAC). These are Putian, San Antonio, Mahunod-hunod, and Carataya.
Gov. Esteban Evan Contreras thanked Budget secretary Cesar Chavez for the allocation.
Several projects are to be implemented this 2021 in each of the four barangays.
* farm-to-market road – P12 million
* solar-powered streetlights – P1.5 million
* cash for work – P1.5 million
* harvester – P1.5 million
* health station – P1.5 million
* water and sanitation system – P2 million
Barangay San Antonio, however, would receive bigger allocations for cash for work at P3 million and rice harvester at P2 million; and a somewhat lower budget for water and sanitation system at P1.5 million.
NTF-ELCAC was created by President Rodrigo Duterte thru Executive Order 70 to synchronize the utilization of the government’s instrumentalities of power with the capabilities of private sector stakeholders to finally end the 50-year communist insurgency./PN
