GARCIA CLARIFIES P26B FUND

THE P26 billion flood control projects in Cebu were funded and implemented by the Department of Public Works and Highways under the national budget, not by the provincial government.

This clarification was made by former governor Gwen Garcia, stressing that her administration had no involvement in the implementation of the projects.

"Funds did not come from the provincial coffers," Garcia emphasized.

The ex-governor was surprised to learn about the scale of the budget and added that Capitol, during her term, had not participated in any of the DPWH-initiated projects.
