With the reports about the frequent occurrences of accidents along national highways involving motorcycles with sidecar locally known as “tricycles” and pedicabs (also called a cycle rickshaw, bikecab, cyclo, trishaw or rickshaw- a pedal-powered means of transportation), DILG Secretary Eduardo Año stressed that the Memorandum Circular no. 2020- 036 only seeks to ensure the safety of the riding public and the drivers themselves.

The Regional Financial Monitoring Team (RFMT) has finally released the results of the recently held Coordination Meeting with the concerned LGUs in Koronadal City. The said meeting was purposely held as a venue to reconcile the discrepancies between the Department and LGUs’ financial reports and update the latter’s liquidation rate.

The meeting was held last February 27, 2020, and was attended by 39 Municipal and Provincial LGUs accountants with pending balances.
