TACLOBAN CITY – Members of the municipal council of Palo recently passed a resolution granting Mayor Remedios “Matin” Petilla authority to enter into a memorandum of agreement with the Department of Agrarian Reform for the ARC project.
The memorandum of agreement will be a counter parting scheme which DAR will provide 60% of the total cost of project while the municipal government will shoulder the remaining 40%, said Palo town councilor Wilson Uy.
The project to be implemented is a farm-to-market road which is still to be determine by the municipal government if which barangay to be put, Uy added.
“We go to counter parting because we know that is the best option to implement a project if a local government unit lack fund for project implementation,” Uy explained.
Before they approve the resolution Uy revealed that they sent a letter to the DAR office informing them that the municipal government is willing to accept the project in a form of counter parting.
“That is the trend now in project implementation of the national government, what that local government responsibility after the implementation is we are task to maintain it,” Uy added.
Uy added that probably the FMR project to be implemented is a road opening from barangays that as not in full accessibility to the town center.
He added that last year, the same project was also implemented in the municipality of Palo with DAR.
