Luna, Apayao - The Provincial Government of Apayao (PGA) allocated P2.7 million cash assistance to the municipal local government units (MLGUs) on January 30, 2023 as means to aid the LGUs in the conduct of activities and events during the Sayam 2023.
Said fund seeks to augment the LGUs resources to cover the meals and other expenses needed for the two-week long celebration of the 28th foundation day of the province of Apayao.
Out of said allocation, half million pesos each were given to the the municipalities of Conner, Kabugao, Calanasan and P300 thousand each for Luna, Pudtol, Flora and Sta. Marcela.
Governor Elias C. Bulut, Jr. hopes that such assistance will embolden MLGUs to actively take part in the celebration, to show yApayaos dynamic culture throughout the Say-am festivities.
The governor reminds the people to not forget the essence of the celebration and the reason behind the celebration.
Apayao became a province after its separation with Kalinga in 1995. This was realized thru the hardwork of then Congressman Elias K. Bulut who authored RA 7878 and who planned the gradual leap of development of the province.
Apayao is now celebrating its 28th founding anniversary this year.
