Let me just explain why you can’t find project details in the SAROs.
First and foremost, SAROs issued by DBM to cover releases to LGUs from funds under Allocations to Local Government Units are not always one is to one as in one SARO per LGU especially if it’s a barangay.

Now, the NTF-ELCAC budget is under Allocations to Local Government Units. How is that fund released
Normally, the department that has oversight on the implementation of projects request the release of funds from DBM in batches or tranches.
Normally, the department that has oversight on the implementation of projects request the release of funds from DBM in batches or tranches.
Each batch will have its own project list attached to the special budget request submitted to DBM. That request is reviewed by DBM before a SARO is released.
For example, this 3B fund release. DBM will never release a SARO without a project list that shows at least a breakdown.

DBM cannot do that under budget rules and regulations. Actually, even audit rules.
As to the project details per barangay, that is something that needs to be asked from the agency that requested the budget release in the first place.
That’s DILG.

Project details can never be found even in the actual SAROs because a SARO is not a project implementation document.
A SARO is an obligational authority. It’s the instrument that allows implementing units to award contracts.

You might be wondering why the SARO was released to DOF-BTr and not directly to the LGU or the brgy.
That’s because it’s the BTr that credits actual funds to the LGUs.

It is a “blackhole” not so much because there are no details in the SARO, but because the specific projects were never made public.
The project type, the location, and the amount for each of the barangays set to receive funds should have been included in the Annexes of the GAA.

That said, demand the project list and project details from DILG. Also demand the justification for the selection of barangays from NTF-ELCAC.
Remember that this is a fund for release to LGUs. This is a subsidy from national government. We cannot expect all the details to be written in the SARO itself.
BUT, when the SARO covers a bunch of projects listed in an annexed document, there is ALWAYS a notation in the SARO that the total amount pertains to the breakdown of projects in an attached list.
Okay, tapos na ang explanatiom about SARO. Defung NTF-ELCAC pa rin! Use it for ayuda!😡
Edit: Defund!
Pwede rin palang “defang” NTF-ELCAC🤣
