Dear Berlin Kyle Dela Cruz,

Greetings!

Thank you for your request dated August 18, 2023 under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch relative to the SK funds of Barangay Lamao, Limay, Bataan for FY’s 2018 to 2023.

Regarding your concern, the copy of said documents are not in the custody of DBM.

Section 326 and 327 of RA No. 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991) provides that the functional jurisdiction of DBM Regional Offices insofar as local government budget is concerned, is limited only to the review of ordinances authorizing the annual and supplemental appropriations of provinces and highly-urbanized cities.

Moreover, Section 352 of RA No. 7160 provides that:


“Local treasurers, accountants, budget officers and other accountable officers shall, within thirty (30) days from the end of each fiscal year, post in at least three (3) publicly accessible and conspicuous places in the local government unit a summary of all revenues collected and funds received including the appropriations and disbursements of such funds during the preceding fiscal year.”

In view hereof, it is the Municipal Government of Limay, thru its Local Finance Committee, that can provide data or copy of documents pertaining to SK Budget of Barangay Lamao, Limay, Bataan.

We will refer your concerns to the Municipal Government of Limay as they are in the best position in providing the above cited information/document.

Thank you.


Respectfully,

Action Officer Region 3
