We wish to clarify the role of Senator Pia Cayetano and former Senator Panfilo Lacson in regard to the DOST- FNRI’s priority program, the Malnutrition Reduction R&D Program.
Although both senators have expressed their support for the program, neither of them had sought budgetary support to fund the program through the Disbursement Acceleration Program or DAP.
The DBM, acting on our request for additional funding for the program, released funds to the DOST-FNRI totaling P 40 M through the DAP mechanism in December 2011.
We assure the public that the funds are all documented and accounted for and are being used in our efforts to curb malnutrition in the country through science and technology.
We hope this clears up the matter and we express our sincere apologies to Senator Pia Cayetano and former Senator Lacson for the confusion that may have resulted from our earlier statements.
We express our gratefulness to both of them for the support they have given to the DOST in the past and hope for their continued support to the DOST in the future.
