DAVAO CITY – A city councilor here justified on Wednesday, August 21, the allocation of over P354 million for the City Social Welfare and Development Office to support their programs and disagreed with a fellow councilor who called the amount “excessive.
She said though the city council’s house rules dictate that no more questions nor explanations should be made after the SB 2024 is approved, her committee still felt the need to speak up to avoid misinformation and mischaracterization of the CSWDO’s proposed budget. Ortiz cited those involved in the capacity-building activity as Indigenous Peoples , Persons with Disabilities , solo parents, senior citizens, women and children, and other disadvantaged groups living in the 182 barangays here.
She added that the comparison between the budget of the CSWDO and other programs like the PWD, traffic lights rehabilitation, Lingap program, and flood control and drainage systems is “unfounded.”
