DILG neglecting campaign vs crime – Binay camp

THE camp of Vice President Jejomar Binay castigated the Department of Interior and Local Government (DILG) for its alleged failure to address the problem of criminality.

“The DILG budget has increased by 30.2 percent under the current administration. The budget of the Office of the DILG Secretary has soared from P2.8 billion in 2010 to P16 billion in 2015. Unfortunately, this whopping increase of 471 percent in the budget of the Office of the DILG Secretary has not steadily reduced the crime rate,” Joey Salgado, media affairs head for the Office of the Vice President (OVP), said.
