The second biggest portion of the budget includes the P15-million for salary adjustments of employees of the provincial government under the General Fund. Under the appropriation ordinance, five percent of the P1.5-million from the General Fund goes to the Calamity Fund and P6.07-million or 20 percent is earmarked as additional development fund.
Aklan Governor Carlito Marquez sought the approval last week of the supplemental budget backed by P30.3-milion increase in the Internal Revenue Allotment (IRA) of the province this year and the unappropriated balance for salary increases in the 2010 budget of P21.151-million for plantilla positions in the General Fund and P29.820-million for EEDD.
Last year, the Aklan SP approved the 2010 budget of P949-8-million, of which P392.25-million is allocated for EEDD and P557.60-million for General Fund.
