Dads OK AIP for 2023

THE Annual Investment Program (AIP) for 2023 of the city government was approved by the 20th City Council headed by City Vice Mayor Jocelyn B. Rodriguez during its 17th regular session Monday.

City Mayor Rolando V. Uy endorsed the AIP 2023 to the legislative body which was prepared consistent with the guidelines set by the Department of Budget and Management through Budget Operations Manual for LGUs (Local Budget Circular No. 112, s. 2016).

Approved by the City Development Council under Resolution No. 3, the AIP is the annual slice of the Local Development Investment Program (LDIP)/City Development Investment Program (CDIP), which constitutes the total resource requirements for all Programs, Projects and Activities (PPAs) that consist of the annual capital expenditures and regular operating requirements of the LGUs.

The 2023 AIP contains priorities and different strategies in form of PPAs anchored to the city mayor’s development agenda, RISE CDO, denoting Regional Leadership: Metropolization, Accessibility & Connectivity; Institutional Development & Participatory Governance; Safety, Security & Human Development; and Economic Recovery to attain the development objectives and targets of the City Comprehensive Development Plan 2023- 2025.

“The AIP strategic investment focus includes all the continuing investment already underway and all investible functions, services and facilities devolved under the Mandanas-Garcia ruling at the three development sectors, namely; (1) General Public Services Sector, (2) Social Development Services Sector, and (3) Economic Development Services Sector,” Mayor Uy stressed.

The AIP was reviewed and endorsed by the committee of the whole chaired by Councilor Yan Lam Lim.
