The Department of Interior and Local Government’s P236.22-billion proposed budget for 2020 has hurdled at the committee level in Senate on Monday.The Senate Committee on Finance conducted on Monday a hearing on the DILG’s proposed budget based on the government’s National Expenditure Plan for next year.
PNP head General Oscar Albayalde said 26,865 uniformed positions remain unfilled as of December 31, 2018. The figure included vacant slots from retiring police officers and those dismissed from service. “The requirements set by law is really very, very high for the admission of patrolmen,” DILG Secretary Eduardo Año agreed.
Besides its recruitment process, the PNP was also asked by Sen. Imee Marcos to explain on the “problem” in the distribution of police patrol cars in cities in Metro Manila, Eastern Visayas and other municipalities. Marcos cited the Commission on Audit’s 2018 report flagging the DILG for not liquidating the funds it transferred to implementing agencies and local government units for the rehabilitation of the areas ravaged by Typhoon Yolanda in 2013. More than P1 billion of the Yolanda funds remain unliquidated, state auditors found.
As for the Department of Public Works and Highways, Sacendillo said the rehabilitation projects “were reported completed but not yet liquidated.” The DPWH had an unliquidated balance of P219.6 million, said the COA.
