Aquino okays P8.59-B fund for Armm reforms

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
PRESIDENT Benigno Aquino III approved a P8.59-billion fund to implement reforms in the Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Armm) on the same day the Supreme Court ruled that a law postponing the region’s polls was constitutional.
The fund will be used for the proposed Armm transition and investment support plan, which is among the programs under the P72-billion disbursements acceleration plan for 2011, Budget Secretary Florencio Abad said.
These plans focus on solving severe poverty, high rate of unemployment, poor health conditions, poor basic education and poor governance in Armm.
Projects to be implemented under these two plans include building hospitals and rural health centers, acquire health equipment such as ambulances, provide school furniture and textbooks, construct basic educational facilities and fill-up teaching positions, and provide work for refugees.
Other projects include the implementation of the Pantawid Pamilyang Pilipino Program, the improvement of Halal food industry, and expansion of the provincial rubber seeding nursery.
“Through this plan, we hope to improve service delivery in Armm, ensure peace, security and rule of law, provide a long-term foundation of economic growth, and institute transparency, accountability and citizen participation in governing the region,” Abad said.
The Cabinet is currently completing “a governance reform roadmap from now until June 30, 2013 when the next elected leadership of the regional autonomous government will assume,” Abad said in a statement.
The High Court on Tuesday affirmed the constitutionality of Republic Act 10153, which defers elections in Armm originally set last August 8 and synchronized it with the 2013 midterm national and local elections.
The President signed the law last June 30 but the Supreme Court prevented the government to implement by issuing a temporary restraining order last September.
The Court also authorized the President to appoint officers-in-charge (OIC) in Armm tasked to implement reforms until the elections.
Malacanang said it is still finalizing the shortlist for the OICs. (Jill Beltran/Sunnex)
