Authored by: HON. PETER Q. MARISTELA

WHREAS, the Local Government Unit of Puerto Princesa used to have a

Livelihood Program focused on lending monetary funds without interest to
farmers, fishermen, and other small scale businesses in order to lessen poverty
in the City;
WHEREAS, the City Government has allocated funds amounting to Five Million
(Php. 5,000,000.00) for this specific Livelihood Program of City for Year 2016,
2017, and 2018;
WHEREAS, unfortunately, the allotted budget was not actually utilized by the
City Government for the aforementioned years and purposes;
WHEREAS, because of non-utilization of this fund, the City Budget removed
the budget for Livelihood Program for the Year 2019, instead, the Office has
allotted the funds to another program for better use thereof;
WHEREAS, many of Puerto Princesans are forced to borrow money from
different lending company that provides high interests just to fund and
maintain their humble businesses;
WHEREAS, there is a necessity to allocate funds again for the Livelihood
focused on lending funds without interest because of evident clamor among the
people to have a government-initiated financing Program to fund their livelihood
projects;
BE IT RESOLVED, as it is hereby resolved, to pass a Resolution requesting the
Honorable Mayor Lucilo R. Bayron to reallocate funds for the Livelihood
Program of the City Government of Puerto Princesa for the Year 2020 and
succeeding years thereafter;
RESOLVED FURTHER, that copies of this Resolution be furnished to the City
