Approve the supplemental budget. This was the appeal made by Bacolod Mayor Monico Puentevella to the Sangguniang Panlungsod, as he stressed that the budget will ensure continuity of the projects of his administration. This budget will provide “booming projects” for the people of Bacolod, the mayor claimed. This will make Bacolod welcome more development, he added. The mayor further claimed that through the supplemental budget, the city will procure additional patrol vehicles for the police; closed circuit television cameras for public schools; and traffic lights on major intersections in the city. These three items were identified in the resolution pushed by Councilor El Cid Familiaran as among the priority needs of the city. “That’s whythe city council should approve the budget because part of it will go to these projects,” Puentevella emphasized. Meanwhile, the SP will hold a special session tomorrowto clarify questions raised by several councilors on the sources of the supplemental budget, particularly the P17 million unexpended funds for accounts payable. Expected to shed light on the budget are City Accountant MaCorazon Cardel, City Budget Officer Victor Treyes and City Treasurer Giovanni Balalilhe./WDJ By Glazyl Jane Marie Y.
