“Let’s work hard together in ensuring that each proposal we have today is ready to pass all the screening process it has to go through in the next level and hopefully we can see these projects implemented soon,” said Chief Orbe.

The RPAB will endorse the approved five infrastructure development project proposals to PRDP for fund support under the Intensified Building up of Infrastructure and Logistics for Development (I-BUILD) component.

Each subproject proposal was presented to the RPAB members by one local government unit (LGU) representative from Davao del Sur, Davao del Norte, Davao Occidental and Compostela Valley Province.

The approved subproject proposals should comply with all the requirements and should qualify to the IBUILD Prioritization Scheme that sets criteria on the LGU performance in terms of procurement, disbursement, compliance to social and environmental safeguards, transparency thru applied geo tagging tools, and other criteria included in the prioritization scheme.

The next level for the RPAB approved project proposal would be another series of review by the Project Support Office Mindanao and then by the National Project Coordination Office for the issuance of No Object Letter (NOL) 1 and 2 and then final project implementation.  (Joy M.
