    let me translate

    "The Agrarian Reform Communities Project II (ACRP II) will allocate $135.2 million for rural infrastructure projects"

    half a dozen bridges that go nowhere, with the contracts awarded to the mayors brother.

    "$25.2 million for agriculture and enterprise development"

    fertilizer bought over cost from the other brothers mayor, then sold below cost to his cousins.

    "The remaining funds will be used for capacity building, project implementation management, and contingencies."

    (that $10m folks )

    capacity building - a new car for the mayor
    implementation management - salary for the mayors wife
    contingencies - lunch

    You must be kidding!!
    There are rural banks right there in Cebu that offer 20% annual interest on 5 year time deposits. I have no idea how much interest they charge for loans but you could saftley say double 20%.
