The National Irrigation Administration had proposed a budget of P132 billion for next year.
MANILA — The National Irrigation Administration on Tuesday said it would maximize its proposed 2024 budget of more than P80 billion in light of cuts in their original funding proposal.
NIA Administrator Eduardo Guillen said the projects they would rollout for next year were already "shovel-ready" and were for implementation. "Sa NIA kasi — siyempre irrigated na — sabi ko ibigay muna sa atin lalo na dito sa dry season iyong mga high-yielding variety para madoble namin kaagad iyong yield o iyong output ng atin pong production po ng bigas," said Guillen in a televised briefing.
"Itong ibibigay po na budget sa atin ay sisimulan po natin iyong ating…mayroon tayong mga proposed projects, malalaki po – Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao at sisiguraduhin po namin na itong idadagdag sa ating budget ay makakapagsimula po tayo ng mga high dams ulit," he said.
