Central Visayas will be receiving P1.83 billion in Bottom-up Budgeting (BUB) funds. BUB is an administration program that allows local groups – often led by civil society organizations – consult with the community to identify projects to be implemented. These projects are funded from the national budget. Of the Central Visayas allocation eyed for 844 projects, vote-rich province Cebu will get the bulk of funds at P1 billion for 426 projects. Budget Secretary Florencio “Butch” Abad said Cebu will soon benefit from a rapid community-based monitoring system that will help leaders make informed decisions on the basis of data collected and processed at the local level.
