SUBSIDIES provided to government-owned and -controlled corporations (GOCCs) fell 26.68% from a year earlier in June, the Bureau of the Treasury (BTr) reported.

The BTr said budgetary support to GOCCs was P7.45 billion in June, against P10.16 billion a year earlier.

This was followed by the National Irrigation Administration (NIA), which received P2.39 billion.

(P106 million).

Those receiving less than P50 million were the Lung Center of the Philippines (P49 million), the Development Academy of the Philippines (P40 million), the Cultural Center of the Philippines (P34 million), the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (P29 million),the Center for International Trade Expositions and Missions (P20 million), the People’s Television Network, Inc. (P18 million), the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (P14 million) and the Sugar Regulatory Administration (P11 million).

Also in this tier were the Aurora Pacific Economic Zone and Freeport Authority (P10 million), the Philippine Institute of Traditional and Alternative Health Care (P8 million), the Southern Philippines Development Authority (P7 million), the Philippine Tax Academy (P5 million), the Philippine Center for Economic Development (P5 million), and the Zamboanga City Special Economic Zone Authority (P4 million).

In the first six months, GOCC subsidies totaled P52.50 billion, down 21.89%.

The NIA was the top recipient during the period with P17.73 billion. This was followed by PSALM (P8 billion) and the NFA (P7.18 billion).
