Efforts to improve lives in Iloilo have faced setbacks after the Commission on Audit flagged the Iloilo Provincial Government for delayed projects and the Iloilo City Government for unliquidated cash advances. The COA identified delays in 68 development projects and unspent funds of P130.4 million, highlighting the need for transparency and efficiency in public fund management.
ILOILO CITY—Efforts to improve lives in Iloilo hit a snag after the Commission on Audit flagged the Iloilo Provincial Government for delayed projects and the Iloilo City Government for unliquidated cash advances.
While the provincial government completed 92 infrastructure projects using P523.1 million of the P720 million allocated in 2021, P130.4 million remains unspent, according to state auditors. These projects include farm-to-market roads, health stations, school buildings, evacuation centers, and agricultural and COVID-19-related programs—many located in upland areas of Miagao, Leon, and Tubungan.
Violations of COA Circular No. 97-002 were noted, which mandate prompt liquidation of cash advances to ensure proper fund utilization. Failure to comply raises concerns about transparency and accountability in financial management.
