the approved PPAs under 20% DF defeated the purpose of the fund to help achieve the
desirable socio-economic development and environmental outcomes for the barangay.
We recommend that:
a. The Sangguniang Barangay plan, approve and appropriate projects chargeable

against the 20% DF; and
b. Optimally utilize the 20% DF by implementing the approved PPAs in

accordance with the prescribed rules and regulations, so as to help achieve the
desirable socio-economic development and environmental outcomes in the
barangay.
