BOLINAO, Pangasinan -- Some barangays in the towns of Agno, Bani, Urbiztondo and Bolinao were the recipients of the Department of the Interior and Local Government’s (DILG) SALINTUBIG (Sagana at Ligtas na TUBIG para sa Lahat) in 2017 and 2018.
DILG Pangasinan officer-in-charge Randy dela Rosa said the towns have received two projects worth about PHP12 million each.
“Some of the projects in 2018 are still on-going. There are still requirements that needed to be accomplished. The projects were given phase by phase, or by tranches,” he said in an interview Monday.
SALINTUBIG is a continuing project of the DILG, which aims to provide more people access to potable water.
“The project is tested first before it is to be implemented; with water analysis and site validation.
There are still local government units (LGUs) who are requesting so probably, they have no source of potable water or they wanted additional to their existing sources,” dela Rosa said.
This year, he said a SALINTUBIG project is set to be implemented in Bani town which again requested from the agency.
“For the other LGUs who see the need for potable water in their areas, they can submit their request anytime, since this is a continuing project of the DILG,” he added. (PNA)
