23. It was further noted that the term of the livelihood assistance was not being followed by
the grantees, such that, of the 24 groups who availed of the cash assistance in January to
August 2024, only 4 made full payments, 3 made partial payments while 17 groups made
no payments at all. The Canlaon City Government Employees Multi-purpose Cooperative
(CCGEMCO), who availed of the grant amounting to ₱1 million on July 8, 2024 is one
of the 17 groups who do not have payments at all. As of December 31, 2024, cash granted
on or before August 2024 could have already been or nearly settled following the seven-
month term.
24. We verified further the status of cash grants for January to June 2024 against the record
of the CCO and noted that out of the ₱922,000.00 released, only ₱309,000.00 or 33.5 per
cent were paid leaving a balance of ₱613,000.00, as listed below:

25. In view of the foregoing, it is evident that the grantees did not diligently adhere to the
“KASABUTAN” associated with the livelihood cash grants which states that payment
will be done within seven months. The lack of due diligence in returning the cash grants
undermines the overall effectiveness and integrity of the livelihood development program
of the city.
26. Review of the submitted financial statements showed the following balances for the
