For Region VI, the LGUs invited to the consultation are: provinces of Capiz, Iloilo and Negros Occidental, cities of Bacolod, Ilolo, Passi and San Carlos; and municipalities of Anilao, and Duenas in Iloilo, Kalibo, Aklan and Tobias Fornier, Antique.

LGU Procurement Manual has been approved by the GPPB.

The GPPB has passed Resolution No. 30-2007 adopting and approving the Local Government Procurement Manual.

The said manual was made possible by the technical assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), and the inputs coming from BAC members, Secretariat and TWGs of selected LGUs throughout the country. Upon its effectivity, this will replace the Generic Procurement Manual (GPM) already in use in so far as LGUs are concerned.

The roll-out of the manual could take place between March or April.
