Our review ensured that each SK budget adhered to the legal and procedural requirements outlined in the Local Government Code of 1991 (RA 7160) and the SK Reform Act of 2015 (RA 10742). The review process was conducted with the support of the City Budget Office and DILG Taguig. It aims to uphold transparency, accountability, and the proper appropriations of the 10% barangay general fund designated for SK programs.
After thorough deliberation, the committee approved the SK budget ordinance, as all submissions complied with the necessary requirements. A corresponding committee report will be submitted to the plenary in its regular session for formal enactment.
