DAVAO DEL NORTE – Davao del Norte Vice Governor De Carlo Uy on Sunday vowed to quickly review all pending programs in the province for this year.
Uy, who was designated Acting Governor on April 11 following the 60-day preventive suspension of Governor Edwin Jubahib, said there will be no stoppage of ongoing programs.
“We will review the pending programs. We will expedite them as soon as possible,” he said in a press briefing Saturday afternoon.
He assured that the provincial government would find ways to fast-track the delivery of services.
“I have reviewed and checked the motor pool. I saw farm machinery there and I will talk to the Provincial Agriculturists Office so that it will be distributed [to the farmers]," he said.
The Department of the Interior and Local Government implemented Jubahib's preventive suspension over grave abuse of authority and oppression complaints filed by Board Member Orly Amit.
“The 60-day timeframe is so short. So all the plans and programs will go as planned and we will expedite all,” Uy said.
“I instructed them to continue their tasks. Whatever budget and annual investment plan that we passed and approved, it should be as is and where is,” he added. (PNA)
