MANILA, Philippines — The Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) has signed an agreement with the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) for the implementation of the Local Government Support Fund for the Green Green Green (G-3) Program, aimed at developing open spaces in cities across the country.
In a statement released on Friday, MMDA Chairman Don Artes announced that the agency and the Metro Manila Council fully support the program, which goes beyond urban greening and beautification., This news data comes from:http://me-cfmv-ymmu-rqpt.jyxingfa.com
Artes said that the program is about creating, protecting, and ensuring inclusive and safe public spaces for communities under the administration of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr.
“The MMDA recognizes that the G-3 program aligns closely with our own mandates on urban renewal and protection, as well as health, sanitation, and pollution control,” Artes said.
He added that last year the MMDA allocated additional funds for initiatives such as the Adopt-a-Park project and the Neighborhood Upgrading and Landscaping program.
