has allotted P2.1 million annually to<br />
purchase porcelain bowls including<br />
round bars <strong>and</strong> cements for free<br />
distribution for households without<br />
toilet at various villages here. He<br />

households without toilet are those<br />
usually at coastal areas like Brgy.<br />

tank. He said they are on the process<br />
to take action with this matter.<br />
