The financial
assistance having a total worth of P522,000 benefited not only the
municipal government of Isabel but also included some of the town’s 24
barangays.
Petilla personally
handed over to Isabel Mayor Saturnino Medina Jr. some P112,000 as
requested in the town’s resolution which was forwarded to the
provincial government for consideration.
According to Mayor
Medina, the P100,000 would be utilized by the municipal government to
finance certain expenses that would be incurred by the town as they
will celebrate their town fiesta.
While the remaining
P12,000 was asked to support the workshop on anti-violence against
women which will also be conducted soon to further make the
constituents of the town gender sensitive and responsive.
The village of Mahayag
also received from the provincial government of Leyte P100,000 in
check intended for the insulation of secondary electrical wires and
for energization.
The villages of Binog
and Consolacion of the same town also received P90,000 each as
financial assistance from the province which will be used for the
construction of water reservoir in Binog and road concreting in
Consolacion.
The biggest assistance
given that night was for Brgy. Matlang which was accorded P130,000 for
the stage repair of the barangay.
Petilla also gave the
town council a laptop computer which he cited as an incentive to the
cooperation that the town’s vice-mayor is continuously showing to the
leadership of the provincial government.
Petilla has urged
the barangays to just submit resolutions to the provincial capitol
whenever they have big concerns so the province can also decide what
particular help or intervention to take.
