MANILA, Philippines – The Department of the Interior and Local Government (DILG) said Friday that about P3.455 billion or 85 percent of the total P4.055 billion funds for the repair and reconstruction of government facilities ravaged by Typhoon “Yolanda” have already been liquidated. This follows the 2018 report of the Commission of Audit (COA) that earlier flagged the DILG for its failure to liquidate P1.059 billion of funds under the Recovery Assistance for Yolanda (RAY).

To date, Año said the DPWH has completed all of its 25 RAY projects, while the LGUs have completed 4,403 projects. (Editor: Jonathan P.
