Department of Budget and Management building in Manila |
Maliwanag na inihayag ng DBM Regional Office sa Lalawigan ang pagtutol nito na may petsang Abril 7, 2016, dahil nilalabag nito ang IRR ng RA 7160, at sinabing:
"The Sanggunian cannot pass an Appropriations Ordinance covering a supplemental budget for the current fiscal year after December 31. Supplemental Budget No. 5 covers changes in the FY 2015 Annual Budget of the Province, thus, it should be authorized within FY 2015. Article 455 of the Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) of R.A. 7160 provides that:
"The official year of the LGUs shall be the period beginning with the first day of January and ending with the thirty-first (31st) day of December of the same year"
Marami ang nakapuna na sinubukan ng SP na isingit, madaliin at palusutin ang Appropriations Ordinance No. 5 na tinutulan ng ilan dahil tapos na ang fiscal year 2015, noong ito ay ipinapasa subalit hindi ito pinakinggan.
Dahil dito tahasang ibinalik ng DBM sa Kapitolyo ng Marinduque ang isinumiteng FY 2015 Supplemental Budget No. 5 na hindi inaprubahan. - Eli J Obligacion
