MAASIN CITY,
Southern Leyte, Aug. 26 (PNA) –- For the first seven months of 2016, the
Southern Leyte District Engineering Office (SLDEO) maintained its status as
topnotcher in absorptive capacity among 13 district offices of the Department
of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) in Eastern Visayas.
Records show
that of the PHP823.93 million total cash disbursement in the notice of cash
allocations from January to July this year, the district office achieved 100
percent utilization as of July 31, 2016.
“Our
remarkable performance in absorptive capacity is a result of regular inspection
and regular coordination meeting with project engineers and contractors to
thresh out problems and concerns,” said District Engineer Ma. Margarita C.
Junia.
The
absorptive capacity is determined by dividing the total obligation incurred by
the total net allotment. It is measured by the ability to obligate the
allotments received from DPWH central office and Department of Budget and
Management.
The district
office got PHP1 billion for the implementation of 84 projects under the 2016
infrastructure projects based on National Expenditure Program.
These
include rehabilitation, upgrading and construction of national highways,
improvements and widening of national roads, construction of missing gaps,
off-carriageway improvement, and million for construction and maintenance of
bridges along national highways.
Also listed
are construction and maintenance of flood mitigation structures and drainage
systems, improvement of access road leading to tourist destinations, and
construction and repair of various infrastructure including local projects.
