The expenditures for infrastructure has been finalized.
We have exceeded the estimated revenues of government by about P192 million. But we are going to use this to fund our most urgent needs including a P100 million release of infrastructure every quarter which will give me reserve for impact projects of P45 million. This does not include another P50 million for highways to be obligated now but to be paid 1st quarter of next fiscal year.
And it does not include the P34 million for the barrios.
