               projects and activities to be funded. The LDRRMFIP shall also include
               under a separate caption, the list of projects and activities charged to the
               unexpended LDRRMF of previous years.

      5.1.15 The LDRRMFIP shall be reviewed and updated annually to include the
             activities to be funded from the unexpended QRF and DRRMF-MOOE
             of the previous years which were transferred to the Special Trust Fund.”

4.2 The Local Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (LDRRMC) shall
    monitor and evaluate the use and disbursement of the LDRRMF based on the
    LDRRMIP incorporated into the local development plans and annual work and
    financial plan. The LDRRMFIP shall also be included in the Annual Investment
    Plan (AIP).

4.3 On June 27, 2023, the City Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council
    approved Resolution No. 2023-02, formulating the PPAs of the LDRRMF for CY
    2024 amounting to ₱55,448,516.30. However, we noted that the unexpended
    LDRRMF from previous years was not included in the approved resolution nor in
    the approved CY 2024 LDRRMFIP, which is inconsistent with the above-
    mentioned regulations.

4.4 We also noted that the monthly Fund Utilization Reports of the LDRRMF for the
    City showed available current and the prior years’ unexpended balances transferred
    to the STF totaling ₱133,761,836.30, as shown in the table below:

    appropriations of P55,448,516.30 as a source of funds for the City’s disaster risk
    reduction and prevention programs and activities, resulting in a significant
    difference of ₱78,313,320.00.
