HINGYON, Ifugao, March 28  – In a bid to provide more services to the community, the local government unit (LGU) has increased the annual cash assistance given to the different barangays here.

According to municipal officials, the 12 barangays of the municipality will be receiving a P1,500 annual cash assistance starting this year, P500 higher than the P1,000 allocated previously.

“This was included under the statutory and contractual obligations item in the regular annual  budget of the municipality as stipulated in the provisions of the barangay aid ordinance enacted last year,” the officials added.
 
The cash assistance would be directly fund transferred to the beneficiaries within the first quarter of each calendar year following  the approval of the municipal annual budget and would be part also of the regular annual revenue of the barangay.
 
Each barangay is free to appropriate such aid according to priorities but subject to the existing budgeting, accounting and auditing rules and regulation. *(PIA-Ifugao )
