CAGAYAN DE ORO CITY, Jan. 15 (PIA)--The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG)-10 bared 93.02 percent utilization of Bayanihan Grant to cities and municipalities in the region as response to the adverse effects of coronavirus disease (COVID)-19.
During the Normin COVID-19 Response Task Force press conference, January 15, DILG-10 Regional Director Arnel Agabe said Bukidnon has utilized 90.21 percent, Camiguin (99.59 percent), Lanao del Norte (99.86 percent), Misamis Occidental (87.34 percent), Misamis Oriental (92.87 percent), CDO (99.99 percent), and Iligan (96.71 percent).
As per Department of Budget and Management (DBM)-10, local government units (LGUs) are given until June 1, 2021 to utilize the said fund.
“Local government units should abide by the policies and guidelines nga gipagawas DBM nga gihatag sa ila (released by DBM and provided to the LGUs) specifically allocated for COVID-19 response,” Agabe said.
On COVID-19 vaccine procurement, rollout
To ensure appropriate use, purchase or procurement, and rollout of COVID-19 vaccines, Agabe said a tripartite agreement with the national government, through the National Task Force Against COVID-19, Department of Health (DOH), LGUs, and pharmaceutical companies must be signed for the advance purchase of vaccines.
“Ang mga local government units should already have the parameters kung kinsa ang priority guided by the DOH, and how they will identify kinsa’y unahon ug hatag sa vaccine,” the regional director said.
(The local government units should have the parameters on who to prioritize, guided by the DOH, and how they will identify on who should receive the vaccine first)
Agabe said this is to ensure that the local leaders will be fair in giving the vaccines and will not prioritize their family members.
As of January 14, there is a total of 8,346 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in Northern Mindanao, wherein 7,238 or 86.72 percent have recovered, 250 expired, and 858 are recovering. (RTP/PIA10)
