MARAWI CITY, Lanao del Sur, July 10 (PIA) -- Twenty-one municipalities in this province are the targeted beneficiaries of the Sagana at Ligtas na Tubig sa Lahat (Salintubig) program of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG).
A total funding of P143 million was allocated for the provision of potable water supply system to these municipalities, DILG Provincial Director Atty. Paisal Sani reported during the recently concluded Lanao del Sur People’s Dialogue.
He said the municipalities covered are Madamba, Buadipuso-Buntong, Ditsaan-Ramain, Saguiaran, Butig, Kapatagan, Lumbatan, Madalum, Malabang, Poona Bayabao, Tamparan, Taraka, Lumbaca-Unayan, Wao, Tubaran, Calanogas, Bayang, Ganassi, Masiu, Balindong, and Lumbayanague.
According to him, 15 percent of the mobilization fund had already been released to these municipalities.
The program is in line with the President’s agenda to provide potable water to all Filipinos particularly in waterless and poor municipalities.
Sani, meanwhile, clarified that the identification of the recipient-municipalities was conducted by the National Anti-Poverty Commission.
This is in response to concerns that some of the selected beneficiaries have already water supply while those with no access to water were not included as recipient.
