DPWH follows P-Noy's policy in the local level

BORACAY ISLAND, Aklan - The Aklan Engineering District of the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) is actively following the general policy of President Benigno Simeon "Noynoy" Aquino III seeing to it that they are eliminating the culture of corruption in their district.

DPWH Aklan District Engineer Roberto Cabigas said that Aklan province currently has around P185-million worth of government projects of which the implementation is ongoing this year.

"Of the said budget, only P1 million was taken due to the budget recall by the national office but the rest were now being allocated in accordance to its purpose," said Cabigas.

The DPWH Central Office has recently ordered a budget recall in the country to finance the deficit of the present administration.

Of the remaining available funds, P100 million of which is being used for dredging projects in Kalibo brought about by typhoon Frank, P80 million has been allocated for the on-going construction of the Boracay Circumferential Road while the remaining P4 million is being used for the construction of roads in the different towns of Aklan.

"The P1 million amount affected by the budget recall is supposedly to be used to fund the construction of Buruanga-Malay road. We hope that the said project although canceled will be resumed by next year," said Cabigas.

All the major infrastructure projects were being used to boost the tourism and agricultural capability of this province.
