Region XII is currently leading the country with the highest accomplishment rates in both the physical and financial aspect of the Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP) Program implementation, the DILG-Office of Project Development Services (OPDS) confirmed.

As of May 31, 2020, Region XII recorded a physical accomplishment rate of 95.80%. This covers the Region’s CMGP funded projects from 2016 to 2019, OPDS said.

Following the list is Region X with 95.00%, Region XIII with 92.20%, Region XI with 91.90%, and Region IV-B (MIMAROPA) with 91.80%.

The four provinces in Region XII will soon have additional paved roads as they await for the release of funds for their proposed provincial road projects under the 2020 Conditional Matching Grant to Provinces (CMGP), this after DILG successfully endorsed all of the provinces' proposed projects to the Department of Budget and Management (DBM).

DILG XII confirmed the said report in a letter signed by DILG-OPDS Director IV Rolyn Q. Zambales to DILG XII Regional Director Josephine Cabrido-Leysa, CESO III dated June 2, 2020.
