Major Developments
Vice
gov's outlay slashed by 41%
While
the proposed 2001 executive budget of the Sanchez administration provided
modest increases for various sectors, it slashed the allocation for the
office of Vice Governor Alfred M. Aquino by over a million pesos, or 41
percent less than its previous budget.
A
review of the Budget Resume prepared by the provincial budget office shows
that for the current year, the vice governor's office will receive
P1,462,731.72, lesser by P1,030,235.60 than its 2000 allocation of
P2,492,967.32.
In
contrast, the governor's share of the budget pie was larger by nearly nine
percent, from P21,430,918.43 in 2000 to P23,329,475.98, or an increase of
P1,898,557.59.
While
the outlay for debt amortization decreased from P7,946,269.44 to just
P2,946,269.44, the lump-sum appropriation for terminal leave pay and
retirement gratuity increased from P700,000 to P4,825,871.02.
The
administration hiked the allocation for the Provincial Health Office to
P36,818,466.34, an increase of P3,754,626.09 (11.36%) from the 2000 budget
of P33,063,840.25.
