P2-B Capitol budget approved


MASSIVE road projects top the list of projects to be financed by Cebu province in 2006 with the approval of the P2 billion budget during a special Provincial Board session yesterday.

The proposed 2006 budget is P310 million more than the P1.7 billion budget this year.

A total of P520 million will be spent for various road and bridge projects of Gov. Gwendolyn Garcia.

Garcia has, as an election promise, vowed to construct at least 150 kilometers of road in the towns. Local government units also stand to receive financial assistance amounting to P287 million.
Health services came in as the recipient of the third highest allocation with P153 million set for the purchase of health insurance, medicines, supplies, as well as improvement of district hospitals.

With only minor amendments, the budget was approved by nine board members out of the 10 legislators present during the special sessions.

Board Member Raul Bacaltos, the only opposition member present, abstained during the voting. "There were flaws in the procedure," he said.

The proposed appropriation, he said, did not pass a budget hearing and was not covered by a committee report.

Bacaltos asked the most questions of the budget during the sessions.

Governor Garcia submitted Cebu Province's largest-ever annual budget to the board last October. It was referred to the committee on budget chaired by opposition member Gabriel Luis Quisumbing.

Quisumbing failed to conduct budget hearings three times because of difficulties in mustering a quorum.

Allied members of the governor voted to discuss the budget during last Monday's sessions prompting opposition members to walk out.

The other board members then scheduled a special session that paved the way for the budget's approval yesterday.

INTEGRATED TRANSPORT SYSTEM

We envision an Integrated Transport System that would feed into an LRT connecting to Mactan International Airport, the proposed Cebu International Port and into the Tourism Corridor with the main terminal located at the Sheraton Hotel located beside SM City wherein Cebu passengers can connect to the North through the North Coastal Road and to the South through the South Reclamation Project.

where will this "kawit amusement park" rise ? is it the tip corner of south reclamation properties, where the coastal road makes a S-curve on the first map ?

METRO CEBU CORRIDOR

We envision the creation of Metro Cebu Tourism Corridor running along the length of the road between the Mandaue reclamation and Kawit Island South Reclamation Project or the Macarthur / Serging Osmena Ave. through the coastal road.

[LordCarnal]

Thanks for the pics slimer... Very nice..!

I thought this was a modern version of Fort San Pedro (phot below)

[renell]

so you Cebuanos got any more maps or information about the Metro Cebu corridor map?


i feel jealous cause it's definately something Manila would benefit from

[Askal82]

You know, I noticed that Cebu implements projects faster than in MM. Sa Metro Manila, dadaan pa sa butas ng karayom ang mga 'to dahil sa politika. Look at North rail, it took them long to start it kasi daming

Tapos yung Naia 3 na yan dami ring

Anyway,
Wishing the best for Cebu.
