Batac City—The city government here proposed an annual budget of ₱437, 884,440.11
for CY 2016, or a budget 4% higher than last year’s budget of ₱422,237,434.80.
Batac budget officer Wilma Icuspit
said the city’s internal revenue allotment (IRA) share is expected to increase
by 10% this year.
Based on the proposed budget, the City
Health Office has one of the highest budgets, followed by the offices of City Agriculture,
City Engineering, City Mayor’s.
However, since it is already the
second month of 2016, Batac is currently under a reenacted budget. The 2016
budget will immediately be enacted once approved by the Sangguniang Panlungsod
and by Batac Mayor Jeffrey Jubal Nalupta.
The proposed budget is presently at
the city council for deliberation.
Batac Vice Mayor Ronald Allan M. Nalupta
said the council is still deliberating the proposed budget with department
heads defending their respective allotments.
Mr. Nalupta disclosed that budgetary
hearings have reached night time to accommodate all department heads.
He expressed hoped that three
scheduled meetings would suffice for the budgetary hearings provided all the needed
materials are presented.
