The Cebu Provincial Government, under the leadership of Governor Pamela Baricuatro, is moving forward with efforts to ensure that infrastructure projects in the province are implemented according to approved plans and specifications.
On January 13, the Capitol mobilized the Provincial Project Monitoring Committee (PPMC) to strengthen oversight, promote accountability, and institutionalize the evaluation of infrastructure projects in Cebu.
The meeting was attended by PPMC members, including DILG Cebu Provincial Director Dr. Jesus Robel Sastrillo Jr., Assistant Provincial Administrator Aldwin Empaces, Provincial Planning and Development Officer Nerces Bispo, Atty. Kevin Dinsay, and representatives from civil society organizations such as LAW Center Inc. and The Lord Who Cares Inc.
The PPMC was reorganized pursuant to Executive Order No. 15-A, series of 2025, signed by Governor Baricuatro upon her assumption into office last year.
Among its core functions, the PPMC is tasked to monitor the implementation of infrastructure and development projects funded by national, local, or foreign sources within the province; identify and verify issues affecting project execution for submission to the Local Development Council; and analyze implementation problems, including delays and bottlenecks, with corresponding recommendations for corrective action.
The move is aligned with Governor Baricuatro’s push for transparent and accountable governance, particularly as the province remains one of the largest funders of infrastructure development projects in Cebu.
Of the P11.9-billion approved annual budget for 2026, at least 20 percent, or P2.3 billion, is earmarked for infrastructure and development projects—underscoring the importance of effective monitoring by the PPMC.
During the meeting, members agreed on the need for appropriate training to further capacitate the committee and enable it to effectively carry out its mandate in support of transparent governance. /𝑪𝑨𝑷𝑰𝑻𝑶𝑳 𝑷𝑰𝑶, 𝑷𝒉𝒐𝒕𝒐𝒔 𝒃𝒚 𝒀𝑱𝑩
