DILG, DSWD monitoring budgets too high- Senate

THE Senate Committee on Finance will be trimming down the monitoring and evaluation budgets of the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) and the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD) for being excessive and realign them for other purposes that have direct impact on the public.

During their review of 2015 budget proposals of various government agencies, Sen. Francis Escudero, committee chairman, over the weekend said they found that DILG and the DSWD have the biggest allotments for monitoring and evaluating their programs compared to those of other agencies.
